Where There's Blue, Gold Is Never Far Behind
A certain gold-clad figure is tapping at Dinah Kord's bedroom window. As soon as he got his Dad's gear done field-testing, and Mom had laid down the ground rules, he had only one place he wanted to be.

And here he was.

"Psssst.... Dinah!"

	There was somebody outside her bedroom window. Dinah didn't think, just reacted. Her Beetle Gun, always near, was in her hand and she fired a strobe-blast of light in the direction of her window. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"MY EYES! MY BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES!" The amazing Goldstar goes tumbling down, his flight control thrown off, and his force-field having him bounce off the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh crap. She knew that yelp. She hurriedly opened her window and looked down. "Er... you okay? Totally my bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He'd taken the goggles off to rub his eyes, but he still spared a hand to wave up to Dinah. "I'm fine! I'm fine!" Once most of the spots have subsided, he hovers his way back up. "Hey there...." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Are you insane?!" Dinah shouted, pointing an accusing finger. "What are you doing, peeping in my window like that! What if I'd been naked?!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-04-02 12:50 am UTC (link)
	...she could have been. Stop that! Riley shakes out the cobwebs, managing to look suitably apologetic. "I'm sorry... but... look!" He strikes a pose, hovering outside her window. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-02 12:53 am UTC (link)
	Dinah was not impressed. "What'd you do, steal your dad's flight ring when he wasn't looking?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-04-02 12:54 am UTC (link)
	He looks offended at the very idea. "Of course not! I earned this! Mom and Dad made me train for months before I could go out on my own. It's mine now." He clears his throat. "I. Am Goldstar!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-02 01:07 am UTC (link)
	She stared for a moment. And then blinked. Then stared some more. "BWA-HA-HA-HA!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ice Cream bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-02 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	Clothing difficulties were eventually solved and the two were allowed to go out for their ice cream, a nice little non-corporate place near the park, which is where they went afterward. Dinah plopped herself down on a park bench and went to work on her Rocky Road cone. "I'm sorry I laughed at you earlier." (Reply to this)(Thread)

Trying to decipher the cryptic text of 'Frankie say: Relax' on his borrowed sweatshirt did not deter Riley from enjoying his waffle cone packed full with mint cookie crumble ice cream.

"Apology accepted." He sits down next to her. "Heroes have to be able to take criticism."

He's puzzling over something in his mind, it having kicked up in his brain in the time it took them to get to the ice cream parlor.

	"I'm trying to pin down exactly when it was your dad didn't want me in your room with the door closed anymore." He scratched his head. It was almost as if Ted thought... no, no of course not. Dinah would never... well certainly not with him. But if not with him, then-- //ABORT SEQUENCE// Riley shrugged and worked on his ice cream. "Good ice cream." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Ice Cream bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-02 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, something was definitely going on under that green hair. But what? "Around after I turned thirteen, I think," Dinah said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Ice Cream boosted_gold 2010-04-02 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, sometime around then I think." Riley puzzles over that as he works on his ice cream. "Dad never worried about us in my room." "Nice shot with the laser before, by the way." He was still seeing the occasional spot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, well, you're his son. I'm a daughter," Dinah said. "Parents worry more about girls." She grinned, though she said, "Really sorry about that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Riley smiled and nodded. "I guess." He shakes his head. "You were right, I surprised you." He lowers his voice, bashfully. "You could have been naked." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

After intensive debate with, and equally intensive reassurances to Uncle Ted, Riley had permission to take Dinah flying.

Such a thing would tend to be among the standard selection of potentially Romantic Scenes, save for that Riley wasn't entirely sure about his stability holding someone across his arms. So... it was a slightly more aerodynamic version of a piggy-back ride.

	"Waaaahoooooooooooooo!" Dinah let out a loud whoop of delight as they flew through the sky. Her costume was nicely insulated against the cooler air and her goggles helped keep anything from getting onto her eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once he's comfortable enough to be sure of her balance, Riley opens up the throttle a bit, along with going upwards. They're not at the point of the air getting too thin, but the stars look a little closer. "Cool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
