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.

Alex nods. "Yeah. A nice bit of relaxing," he says. "Great way to cool down after a coaster."

The ride finishes up soon enough, and Riley tugs Alex out of the cup. "Alright, I'm good for desert. Lead on."

Once again tugged along, Alex stays a bit closer to Riley than he had before. "You got it," he chimes, starting to lead the way.

About an eight minute walk later and they're out of the amusement park and heading for Coldstone. "Ever been here before?" he asks as they reach the shop full of tasty treats. "It's one of the best." the lantern adds, holding the door open for Riley.

"Heard of it, passed by them, but never been there myself." Riley shrugs. "I'm sure I can find one of my usual go-to flavors of ice cream."

Alex smiles and heads for the counter. There's certainly a lot of flavors there. Alex orders himself a cup of mint chocolate chip with some sprinkles before stepping aside to let Riley order. "I'm sure you'll find something good," he agrees.

Riley gets himself the chain's version of a milkshake with peanut butter cup, caramel, and gummi bears. He grins as he digs in. "This right here? This is awesome."

Alex grins, just watching Riley. "Yes. Yes you are very awesome."

Riley just chuckles and shrugs. "If you say so." He sips at his milkshake some more.

"So... what now?"

"Oh, I don't just say...I know," Alex replies.

He eats some of his frosty treat before answering. "Well. We talk a little more, finish dessert, and then I uhh...well one of us can walk or fly the other home or something like that if we want."

Riley nods. "I could go for a couch to crash on for a little while if that's cool with you."

Alex pauses a moment.

Holy hell...did he really just ask to...oh man, please do not let me be imagining this!

Calming his thoughts, Alex smiles and nods. "Sure. You can hang at my place for awhile," he says, silently thankful his Dads went back to L.A. for the weekend to finish moving the rest of their stuff.

Riley grins and has some more of his milkshake. "Sounds like a plan. I'm no wuss, but it'd be nice to get off my feet for a while." He nods in the direction of the subway and holds out his milkshake. "Want some? If a gummi bear gets caught, just suck hard."

Alex chuckles, just a touch nervously. "Hey, even Superman needs some time to rest. Not a wuss for wanting to get off your feet," he says. When offered the milkshake, Alex's ears go a little red. He swallows and nods. "Sure. Never tried this kind of shake before," he says, leaning forward and taking a small sip. "Tastes real good."

Riley smiles smugly. "Damn right it is. Basically the sundae I usually get when my friend Dinah and I go out, only in this case I got someone else to mix it up for me."

He takes back the milkshake, helping himself to more. "So which way to your place?"

There's a small twinge of annoyance as going out with Dinah is mentioned. Whoever she is, Alex is really starting to dislike her. He goes back to eating his ice cream for a moment.

Delicious chocolate treat soothes jealous rage...

"Well if we take the high way," he means flying. "It's not that far a trip but if we go normal we'll be in the subway again for a bit."

Riley thinks it over. "Can you make sure we're shielded from any bugs getting in my shake while we fly?"

Alex finishes off his scoops of ice cream and then grins. "Dude, of course I can," he says. "I'm just that awesome."

"How awesome exactly? Are we talking ninjas that run a medical practice with an intelligent gorilla receptionist awesome here, or just 'really good bacon cheeseburger' awesome?" Riley grins back, winking.

Alex smirks and just looks at Riley a moment. "Doc Ninja levels of awesome, cute stuff," he says. The Lantern then reaches out to take one of Riley's hands. "C'mon, I'll get us there," he says.

"Sounds like a plan. Scoop me up." Riley grins as they head into an alley to get some privacy for takeoff.

'Cute stuff' huh?

Once they have privacy, Alex surrounds them both with that glowing green aura. Lifting into the air, he smirks. "Up, up and away," he says.

It's not a long flight...but it is bug free...before Alex is landing them near a nice apartment building. He leads the way inside and up the stairs (elevator under repair...yes Alex broke it...no he won't admit it or explain how) to the apartment he and his Dads live in. Unlocking the door, Alex leads the way inside. It's a nice place and pretty big but there are obviously some furniture pieces missing and things that need to be done. They only just moved in recently after all.

"Here we are."

Riley smiles as Alex lets him in, plopping down on the couch as he looks around. "Nice place. How long you guys been in here?"

Alex closes the door and moves to plop down next to Riley.

"Thanks. We only moved in earlier this week," he explains. "My Dads went back to L.A. to get the rest of our stuff though and get some work stuff done. They'll be gone for a few days."

"Must be nice having the place to yourself. My parents still don't leave me on my own for a weekend. They just drop me with Uncle Ted and Aunt Dinah."

Alex edges a little closer to Riley and shrugs. "It's okay I guess. Sometimes I get dropped off at my Aunt Jenny and Uncle Kyle's but since they'll only be gone for for a few days my Dads decided to let me hang here on my own for awhile," he explains.
