A Flight in the Night That Might Bring Delight
Well, that had been one mission to save the past she hoped quickly for forget. Traveling back to the dawn of mankind, nearly getting eaten by a dinosaur (apparently, the history books were wrong), getting stripped down to a fur bikini and nearly sacrificed to a volcano (thank goodness they kept back-up uniforms at Rip's), and, well... she really wanted to forget it all.

Fortunately, flying back to Gotham, in Riley's arms this time--she was too tired to hang onto his back--was a good distraction.

"I can't believe Rip said it was okay for Anthro to keep the jacket," Dinah said.

	"I think he was trying to avoid looking at you in the fur bikini, s'why he agreed so easy." Riley responded. It certainly was distracting enough. Seriously though, Rip never bent a blade of grass without a reason. If he let Anthro keep the jacket, there was a reason. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I missed all that in the history books," Dinah said. "Who knew it really was like the old caveman movies?" It barely made sense. Then again, life around Riley rarely did. "Still... thanks for rescuing me and all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pretty much all the ancient times and/or sci-fi movies are true somewhere or another. It's about knowing where to look. If you ever become a Time Master, you'll get your head around that." He flashes her his 8x10 glossy grin. "Well of course I did. You know what kind of auditioning process I'd have to set up for a new best friend?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. You know darn well it would take a team of at least three to replace me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-09-01 01:47 am UTC (link)
	"Hm, possibly. I could find someone to replace you in the field, but someone as pretty as you for public appearances would be trickier." He winks at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Huh. First the distracting fur bikini, and now pretty? "Okay, you're only this nice when you want something. What's up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Riley blinks. "What?" He retraces his mental steps. "Did I say something wrong?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Barbara was in her office, working on coding. She looked up when she saw her daughter, smiling. "Sure sweetie. What's up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2010-09-02 01:37 am UTC (link)
	Well. How to explain this one? Where was that famous brain of hers now? "Um... you know, Riley, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2010-09-02 01:58 am UTC (link)
	"The Riley that's always over here? The Riley that you've been always getting into trouble with since you escape from your playpens?" Barbara grinned, "Yes, I know him. What about, sweetie?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2010-09-02 02:03 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, she was off to a good start with this conversation. "Well, um, like you've said, we've been friends forever. And partners too, ever since you guys let us. But... um..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What's the matter, Dinah? Did you guys get in a fight?" She was going to smack that boy down if he hurt her kid. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh god oh god oh god oh god what he had done? What had he done? This was.... wait, bad? It sure didn't feel ba-- You stop that man-brain! You stop that right now! Riley knocks on the doorframe as he enters the house. Baywatch reruns are on, so he knew both his parents would be in the living room. "Mãe? Dad? Can... can I talk to you guys about something?"

	Michael reluctantly looked up from watching Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra running in slow motion. Time to do the Dad-thing. "What's on your mind, kiddo?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-09-02 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	"I think..." He fidgets, sitting down on the ottoman adjacent to the couch. "I might have a problem with Dinah." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2010-09-02 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	Uh-oh. He didn't like the sound of that. Michael gave Riley his full attention. "What kind of problem?" He tried to keep his tone neutral. He might not have entirely succeeded. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-09-02 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	Riley relates the recent events to them, with the mounting tension, and Skeets, and Batman. He also goes into how twisted inside his one time date with a boy had felt. And then he gets to the scene at the windowsill. "So... yeah... there was a kiss. I mean... bordering on making out even." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2010-09-02 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	It took a little for him to mull all this over, but eventually, Michael spoke. "Well, son, it's been nice knowing you. Because I'm pretty sure Ted is going to kill you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Riley figured the playground about halfway between their places worked well enough for a place to wait. He kept himself occupied by running sprints between the slide and monkey bars. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	She cleared her throat to make her presence known. "So, um, hi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: An Hour Later boosted_gold 2010-09-02 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	Riley just about jumps out of his track shorts. "Ah! HI. Dinah." He clears his throat, and goes over to a bench, sitting down, patting the spot next to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: An Hour Later bwa_ha_ha 2010-09-03 12:00 am UTC (link)
	Mmmm. Track shorts. How had she managed to avoid noticing how freaking hot Riley was all this time? "Hi yourself," she said, as she sat down next to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: An Hour Later boosted_gold 2010-09-03 12:05 am UTC (link)
	Did... did she put perfume on? Maybe she always smelled that way and he was just used to it. Damn nerves. Making him all perceptive. "So.. sorry I freaked out. And that I didn't say anything after. The kiss was my fault. If it was a 'fault' thing to begin with.." He fidgets. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: An Hour Later bwa_ha_ha 2010-09-03 12:12 am UTC (link)
	"It's okay," she assured him. "I freaked out too, remember?" She took in a deep breath. "And it wasn't a bad thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
