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!"

	Dinah crossed her arms, making sure her legs had a tight grip around Riley so she wouldn't fall off. "I stand by my statement, Boy Wonder." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Riley, as that grip tightens, finds that that thing his brain does where letters make words and then go in the right order to make sentences... doesn't work. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My train of thought was simply boarding at the station!" He blurts out. "Don't you call me 'Boy Wonder'. I don't wear shorts, or a man-panty, for my costume." A pause, as his more observant side kicks in. "You've been working out, haven't you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What's that train run on, coal?" she teased. She snickered, readjusting her grip so that her hands were involved again too. "Couple hours a day, yeah." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, I kind of like those old trains." Riley commented. He smirks as she confirms his suspicion. "Good work. Dad just puts me through the training regimen he was on when he played football." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That ain't gonna cut it," Dinah told him. "That fancy suit of yours cuts out and you'll be dead in the water." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll have you know that football players train very intensively. Especially ones from... THE FUTURE." He always put the same inflection on that, ever since they were little. "I could crush a walnut with my bicep." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He mumbles. "That's just because it's you... and you fight dirty." Nice recovery there Riley, real smooth. "Your mom taught you better grappling." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well yeah, when you're fighting for your life. Not when you're eight years old and trying to make your best friend say he's a 'pretty pretty princess'." It's been long enough that he can laugh about that now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But you did. That's the important thing." Dinah broke into giggles at the memory. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride boosted_gold 2010-04-05 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I did. I also made you have to ask pretty please with cherries when I put the cookies on top of the fridge the next week." He sticks his tongue out at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Watch where you're flying, Boy Wonder," Dinah told him as he looked back to stick out his tongue. "Geese at twelve o'clock.' (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I see 'em, I see 'em..." Riley mutters back, but dives lower than is probably necessary to give them a wide berth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-05 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, well, just wanted to warn you. Seeing as how I can't fly. At all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd never let you fall, Dee." Riley says calmly. "Not now, not ever." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I believe you, Riley," she told him. She gave him a kind of hug, as best she could from their respective positions. "Thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride boosted_gold 2010-04-05 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	He'd hug back if he could, because right now, the life of Riley Carter is awesome. "Nothin' to it." He grins. "Now hold on." Riley goes into a power-dive, then swings back up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah let out a whoop of delight. "Yeeee-haaaaaaaaaaa!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride boosted_gold 2010-04-06 01:08 am UTC (link)
	He reaches back for a sec to pull her arms around him. "Think you can hold on tight enough for a roll and a loop?" He cackles mischievously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-06 01:19 am UTC (link)
	Dinah pressed herself against Riley and held on tight. "You betcha." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride boosted_gold 2010-04-06 01:47 am UTC (link)
	Guh...... okay, hadn't thought that all the way through. After a minute to compose himself, and a deep breath, he kicks up the speed again, making a careful barrel roll, then a spacious loop. He slows down to stabilize himself afterwards. "Woo!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
