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!"

	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)

	"Fight like you're gonna win. That's what Mom and Aunt Dinah always say." (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)

	"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)

	Re: Joyride bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-06 02:04 am UTC (link)
	She let out a breath she didn't even realize she'd been holding. "That was awesome!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride boosted_gold 2010-04-06 12:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Damn right!" Riley replies, bringing them down to land. Keeping up that much focus isn't as easy as you'd think. Once they're safely on the ground, he gives her an enthusiastic hug. "I, as you now see, AM AWESOME." He grins from ear to ear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-06 03:25 pm UTC (link)
	Dinah leaned up and gave Riley a peck on the cheek. "Well, I don't know about awesome, but you're pretty dang cool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride boosted_gold 2010-04-06 03:50 pm UTC (link)
	There's a little 'meep' sound from the back of Riley's throat. Oh... oh hi Dinah's waist, when did his arms get around you? And four feet off the ground. He manages a grin. "Thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-06 04:09 pm UTC (link)
	Well. This was close. And... stuff. And all kinds of other... stuff. This was.... And, as these things often do in times like this, the moment passed. "It's, ah, getting kinda late," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride boosted_gold 2010-04-06 04:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah... guess it is." He clears his throat, then descends again so she can mount up once more. "C'mon bug, let's get you back to the hive." He smirks at her, calling up more childhood stuff. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-06 04:40 pm UTC (link)
	Dinah saddled up, but not before she stuck her tongue out at Riley. "Second star to the right and straight on 'till morning!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride boosted_gold 2010-04-06 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh god...the third grade play." He groans as they set out. "I think Mãe still has my crocodile costume somewhere in the attic." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Joyride bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-06 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	Dinah giggled. "You were adorable. Pretty sure Mom saved my Tiger Lilly costume somewhere too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I had no lines!" He huffed. "Couldn't even see my face. You'd think two public-identity big name superhero parents would get a little more cred for a kid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
