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 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.

Riley grins appreciatively, putting his phone away. "Thanks. I'm sure you could have rocked the green yourself."

he tilts his head as he thinks something over. "I haven't really done the team-up stuff much so far. Only started semi-recently."

Alex smiles and nods. "Thanks," he says, rather pleased with what he sees as a compliment.

"I started mostly solo too. Wasn't really part of a team even if I did hang around one a lot," he says. "It has it's pros and cons."

"So who do you epic-team-up with usually? Do you have to work off-world much, or is that ring the exception?"

"JSA," Alex answers, puffing out his chest a bit. "And I stick mostly to Earth. Space is for those other greens and my Dads tend to get nervous if I go up there too much. Nothing quite as embarrassing as one of my Dads, my aunt, and my uncle showing up to yell at me for leaving Earth without telling anyone...while I was in the middle of fighting some bad guys."

"Ohhhh... you're that bunch that fights all the nazis." Riley nods.

"I usually deal with mad scientists and lower tier cosmic types."

"We fight other things too," Alex replies, unable to hold back on the snickering. "Lots of Nazis though, yes."

"Lower tier cosmic types?"

"Ray guns and advanced technology, sure, but my parents and my... let's say advisor, tell me to stay away from heavy duty types like Despero and New Gods."

Alex smirks a bit. "Yeah...Despero is best avoided unless you've got a team or two worth of back up. Guy's seriously bad news," he agrees. "And New Gods...well...depends on which one ya run into."

"Yeah, seriously." Riley polishes off the last of his meal. "I'm down with some of them though. Miss Miracle and I are friends, same with her sister."

Alex finishes his meal as well and grabs a napkin. "Really? Pretty cool. Only seen 'em in passing myself," he says. "Like all the food?" he asks with a smile, calling for the check.

"It's tasty. I'll wait until we hit the park for desert." Riley smiles and nods, pulling out his wallet. "Henry financed dinner." He starts cleaning himself up.

"No motion sickness problems for you I hope? I prefer thrill rides to kiddy ones."

"Good plan. Plenty of treats out there. Cotton candy and the like," Alex agrees. He blinks as Riley pulls out his wallet, taking his own out as well. "Gave you money too, did he?" he seems amused by this.

"None at all. And totally with ya there. Love me a good coaster."

Riley chuckles awkwardly. "He was probably doubling up to be on the safe side. I eat a lot sometimes." He inwardly hopes they have deep-fried twinkies.

"Sounds like a plan."

Alex makes a mental note to find out later what exactly Henry was up to but for now he smiles. "Nothing wrong with a man with a healthy appetite," he remarks.

Nodding, the Lantern looks over the check when it arrives and nods. Once they're all paid up, Alex leads the way outside. "So...wanna take the train again or the...express line?" he asks, pointing to the sky.

Riley fidgets. "I... uh.. I'm not equipped right now."
