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.

	"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)

	He seems sheepish, caught in self-analysis. "I... just felt like being nice is all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled. "Well.. good," Dinah said, after a moment's reflection. "You should do it more often." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll see if I can fit it into my schedule." He fires back, smirking. He then makes a sudden drop, before leveling out again, just to mess with her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah let out a surprised whoop when Riley made a sudden drop. "You... you... you did that on purpose!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-09-01 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Did I now? And what exactly would you do about it if I was?" Something had slightly shifted gears in Riley's head since the Calendar Man adventure. A lot of the tension that had been building up around Dinah for some reason had shifted, if not gone away. He found it easier to tease her again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Jump from your arms, save myself with that flagpole over there, flip up, and land on your back," Dinah replied. Dinah, herself, found her thoughts on Riley a little more often these days. He was, of course, her best friend. But every so often, they got a little closer... and then something always interrupted. Which just left her confused. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You already cashed in your token for riding 'cowgirl' for this week." Riley snorts, then smiles. "Guess I'll just have to keep carrying you, since I know you wouldn't stand for being arm-pitted." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2010-09-01 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	"I did?" Dinah complained, but kept her tone joking. "Dang." She relaxed a bit in his grip. "Either way, you're my second favorite ride, after the Bug. No offense, but you don't have a cup holder." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-09-01 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe not, but can the Bug get you into the best restaurants in town and on the front page?" He laughs. "No offense taken. The Bug's comfy, and a lot roomier than the Time Sphere. Just needs a better entertainment center." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You are good for the celebrity factor," Dinah conceded. "And... other stuff too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-09-01 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	There was a hitch in Dinah's voice that wasn't there before. "What kind of other stuff?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2010-09-01 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	"You know... stuff. You look out for me. Back me up. Rescue me sometimes." She looked up and smiled. "You're always there when I need you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He hugs her, tightening his hold on her a bit, nudging his forehead against hers. "It's what I do." Boy this is cozy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2010-09-01 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	Gosh, it sure was. "That... was my house," she said, after a moment. "I mean, not that I'm in that much of a hurry to get home, or anything, but just noting we missed it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, right. Sorry about that." Riley pitches in his flight path, arcing back towards the Kord household. Funny that Ted and Babs still settled for some little cottage in the 'burbs, what with all the Kord Industries had to offer. He swings down to Dinah's window as usual, shifting his hold on her to open the window with his other hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It was still a pretty large house, but it enabled them to stay close to the city without having to actually be in the city proper. And it was reasonably close to Michael and Bea, to boot.

Dinah swung her legs inside and climbed in, leaning back out a bit once her feet were on the floor. "Other than the almost being sacrificed thing," she told him, "tonight was pretty fun."

	Riley lowers himself to rest his folded arms on her window-sill, looking at her. "Isn't it always? And who can't do with a good attempted sacrifice every now and then to keep things interesting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2010-09-01 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, well, next time, we're going somewhere where they try to sacrifice you. Just to keep things fair," she told him. Gosh. Getting close again, weren't they? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-09-01 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	Close enough for comfort, certainly. "I think you look better in the fur bikini, to be honest." He smirks, pushing his forehead against hers again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
