Flying Blind
Riley looked at himself in the mirror and curled up his face. This was so not his style, on any level. He was wearing a necktie for crying out loud. Yes he'd promised Henry he'd clean up and wear a suit, but this was so weird. He didn't do the suit and tie thing, and he'd certainly never been on a blind date before. He'd never been on ANY dates before. It just wasn't something he'd really made a priority in his life. He'd never even really thought about what his 'type' was.

Henry had made some valid observations though, and he'd been persuasive. Henry usually was. He did need to get out more. As it was lately, he'd bee spending every waking moment not in school on patrol, with or without Dinah.

Should he have told Dinah he'd be busy tonight? He can always tell her if she contacts him.

He sits down, fidgeting with the buttons on his sleeves, waiting for Henry to call with the info about where to meet his mystery date.

"Oh, the Renaissance, no question. Da Vinci could put away the wine, lemme tell ya. He's also on the short-list of historical types that are cool with the whole time-travel thing and don't screw with history because of it."

Alex is a bit surprised. "You drank with Da Vinci?" he asks. "I wonder what he thinks of the Code," he jokes. "Makes sense he wouldn't want to mess with things. Supposed to be a real smart guy."

"Well I didn't drink, but yeah." Riley corrects, nodding. "Makes me wonder if there's really people like him left in the world, just getting beaten into the normative curve by standardized testing and stuff."

Alex nods, letting out a little noise of approval at the correction.

"Oh, I don't doubt it," he says. "That and how it's apparently uncool to be smart...gotta wonder how many people are getting beaten down by social pressures as well. I'm sure there are still really smart and innovative people in the world. We work with a bunch after all."

"Yeah, but it's stupid how people force themselves to fit in. Women getting jellyfish venom shot into their face, guys dating skinny women they're not attracted to because their buddies would make fun of a big girlfriend... stupid."

He grins as the appetizers arrive, waiting for Alex to eat first.

"So... how did you get started with.. y'know, stuff?"

Alex winces slightly at the mention of jellyfish. He can't stand them. He does smile at Riley though. "Yep. Definitely stupid," he agrees.

The waiter gets a thanks from Alex and he waits for the man to leave before he starts to eat. "Mmm. This is better than I thought it'd be," he says with a grin.

"What? With uhh," he gives his ring finger a little wiggle. "Well, I've been surrounded by it since I got adopted. Sorta was a fanboy for all the older supers since I was little and always wanted in on it. So I trained and worked out. Then about a year ago, my Grandfather gave me the green."

"Hm. Cool." Riley's satisfied with his food as well, as he listens to Alex.

"Who's your Grandfather?" He pauses, then his eyes widen. "Is he one of the little blue guys? They give them out, right?"

Alex pauses a moment before laughing. Shaking his head, he flashes a smile. "Naw, I'm not blue," he says. "My ring's the one the first Green Lantern of Earth wore...not a space cop like Henry's."

"Ohh... can I see?" He wipes his hands, then gestures for Alex's.

Alex blinks and after a moment of consideration, he nods. He holds his hand out for Riley and makes his ring visible.

Riley takes his hand and examines the ring with reverence. "Wow... it's really his. Intense." He smiles and lets the hand go, going back to eating.

"Mine now, actually," Alex replies, letting the ring vanish as he takes his hang back. "He can still use his abilities without it even."

"Right, yours. Sorry." Riley apologizes, poking at his food.

"So... anything else you want to know about me? Did Henry tell you if we were supposed to do anything after dinner?"

Alex chuckles a bit. "No need to apologize," he says.

"Oh yeah," he says, taking his phone out of his pocket. He opens up a message and lets out a thoughtful noise. "He sent me a list of things we're supposed to do but told me not to open it until after dinner..." he trails off. "Huh. Apparently we've got some VIP passes waiting for us at Coney Island up next," he smiles at this. "Can't say I've been to an amusement park in awhile."

"Oh right! The new park just opened up, didn't it?" Riley grins, clearly thrilled. "I'll have to tell Dinah so we can make a day of it some other time." He pauses. "Oh right, Dinah's my best friend. Been that way since we were tiny."

Alex nods. "Yeah. Luna Park. Looked interesting from the few times I've passed it," he says.

His good mood is slightly dampened by the mention of Dinah though. "She's in the same business as us then, I take it?" he guesses, assuming that the name is a girl's because it doesn't sound like a guy's.

"No." Riley lies without a problem. He generally doesn't have a problem keeping costumed life and civilian separate, and he doesn't appreciate the inquiries. It's a rather personal and individual thing.

"I'm sure we'll have fun if we swing by there after." He smiles, resuming eating with better spirits.

Alex quirks an eyebrow slowly. Eventually he shrugs a bit and goes back to eating his dinner.

The smile comes back as better spirits do. "Yeah. Definitely gonna be a good time."

"So... come on, gotta be more you want to know about me, since I'm apparently such a hot item." He smiles playfully, getting used to the flirting.

"Well, I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable," Alex replies with a smile. "Like...is that awesome color your natural hair or do you dye?" he asks. "And are you alright from the bear bite? I didn't see any blood but then I dunno how well armored you were," there's actual concern in his voice there.

Riley grins. "Totally natural. Get it from Mãe." He groans and shakes his head at the next question.

"Yeah... I'm fine. Suit's set to let me feel pressure to an extent so I don't get overconfident, but it protects me."

Alex nods and lets out a thoughtful noise. "That's pretty cool. Green's always been my favorite color...even before the ring. Tried to dye my hair that color once," he admits. "But one of my Dads caught me and put the kibosh on that plan," he laughs.

"That's good...I was a bit worried," he admits. "Gotten hurt a few times myself and covered it up only to end up worse later."

"Eh, it attracts more trouble than it's worth some times, but I looked goofy when I tried to dye it blond to match my dad one summer. Hang on, I think I've got a picture." He pulls out his phone and clicks through until he finds a photo.

"Here we go." Riley holds it up for Alex to see.

"Well, you're still in one piece, so you must be doing something right."

"Well, I was trying to be a bit different at the time," Alex explains. When the phone is held up, Alex leans in for a better look.

Whoa...this guy is...just...wow. Hot. he thinks, a slight shiver running up and down his body quickly. "I don't think you looked goofy," he says. "Looked pretty good," he goes on, holding back on the other things that come to mind so he doesn't scare Riley off.

The lantern then laughs a bit. "Yeah. My teammates and family just tend to yell at me when I do it," he says. "But then again it's rare I get hurt," Alex remarks, puffing out his chest.
