RPG Challenge - Chris
Ze Rules:

1. Truth or Dare: Post a scene idea as a dare. It can be in-canon, or it can be AU. You can challenge any of mine with any of yours. I can take the dare, or turn it down, by offering an honest in character answer to any question you want to ask. If I take the dare, you can set up the scene and we'll play through it.

2. Putting the 'R' in RP: So most of the time, rp comes down to casual social or big mod-run plots. This is neither, so let's spice it up. Your dare-scene challenge must involve either A. gratuitous violence, B. gratuitous nudity (I'm willing to play out sex scenes if they make sense, or hint at them) C. gratuitous crack. - because these aren't going through moderation, they can't really change anything, no new powers, no big item acquisitions, but gratuitous hero battles or villain of the week-ish stuff should be okay. Multiple choices from A, B and C are also possible.

3. Pay it Forward: As usual, if you take this challenge and post a scene idea, you also need to put this up in one of your journals, and offer some or all of yours up for scene challenges. Now the tricky part - if I take a dare, I will temp at least one of the NPCs needed, if any are. I will not require you to NPC for me, no. Instead, you must temp at least one NPC in any dares you take.
And, why yes, this is an effort to get people to temp occasional npcs for others in order to encourage RP. You have an easy out in any scenes you're truly not comfortable with - you can always take 'truth', and I may, not every scene will fit my characters or my fancy... but the idea is still to encourage rp, get people doing scenes and playing with characters, whether AU or our canon, and doing the little things to help get scenes going.

My characters potentially up for this:

Will Freeman/Shazam
Michael Choi/Firestorm
Jonathan McIntyre/The Machinist (superhero name pending)
Bob Grayson/Marvel Boy-The Uranian

Did...did she not get what he meant?

"I mean, well, walking would give us more time to hang out. Talk."

Oh good. She doesn't know why she had panicked.

"Sorry if I misunderstood you. I'm not.... I don't have a lot of experience just... talking. To people. So sometimes I panic or just don't understand what someone means."

Michaels face was blank for a second, with him hiding his disgust at whoever made it so she was so damn awkward. Well, he hopes its blank.

"Okay, then, Miss Ash, lets go get some Mexican food."

She nudges him lightly.

"J-Just Ash please. Miss sounds um..." She shrugged. "I don't know."

Less friendly somehow.

"No problem. I tend to try to be more formal if someone is worth the formality."

The walk there, across from Central Park, is slow, methodical, and wonderful. They talk and talk. About nothing. About everything. He's glad she's willing to open up, and Michael hopes for it to continue. So, maybe through choice or maybe through personal comfort, he reaches his hand and intertwines his with hers just before getting to the restaurant. It is not a ritzy place, but it is not a hole in the wall. It's just there, and the smell of food wafts through the door as Michael opens it with his open hand, smiling at Ash and motioning for her to go in first.

That had gotten a small blush from Ash. She was a very shy person naturally.

Then she just moved onto talking with him. She had shared a little more about herself and had relaxed. She had even stopped stammering which could easily be viewed as her going back to feeling at ease with him. She had stopped to smell the air then smiled as she moved inside.

It was late but there were still people here.

With a quick order of water, Michael and Ash were seated. Yes, it was late. But it wasn't all that packed. Maybe they stopped by on an off day. Whatever the reason, Michael was a little relieved. He didn't know of any other veggie friendly places in the immediate vicinity, and that was by happenstance that he knew it himself.

"I'm curious: What made you decide to become a vegetarian?"

Seems an easy place to start.

"Black Lanterns. After.... After Atlantis fell I just couldn't touch anything that reminded me of the dead." She shivered a little.

"It's not that I don't like meat. It's that seeing so many of my people get killed? ... I couldn't bring myself to. It's like... the idea of eating something that used to live and breath just started feeling wrong. So I stopped trying."

"I can understand that. The Black Lanterns, they were...they were all kinds of messed up. With all that crap happening, I can see why you wouldn't want to."

"I had just started getting used to this world. Then everyone started dying." She shakes her head. "The bad part was them bot staying dead. I could have recovered from the losses eventually but....Not the Lanterns."

Michael is sitting across from her, but with that he moves next to her. He knows how messed up it got, but when he thought how many of the Aqua family died and came back, it makes him think of how lucky he was and how he didn't deserve to be.

"I know there were a lot of Atlanteans who died and came back. I-I can't imagine how bad it must have been."

Michael reaches for her hand again, squeezing it to show support.

She blinked when he moved. Then her head dipped because she didn't know how she should react. All she could remember was being the last one.

How much it had wounded her. Then they came back but it wasn't them.

"It was worse than getting kicked after falling. I always knew that... That heavy is the brow that the crown must rest on. The always say that. But they never tell you how much your heart will bleed."

She squeezes his hand. She's trying to push the memories away but they're very strong right now.

"I bet its hard. I'm just an asshole brainiac from Ivy Town, so I can't imagine what its like. You have your family back, but for that bit..."

Michael stops.

"You deserve so much better than that crap."

She blinked at him. He was the strangest person she had ever met. They still barely knew each other but... he was acting with such compassion.

Michael gets a small hug. "Thank you," Ash mutters near his ear softly.

And he will return it.

"You're welcome. You're a sweetheart, Ash. you deserve better than what this universe has tossed in your face."

Ash gives him a shy uncertain look. Then smiles a little just for him.

"It's starting to get better. It's not all doom and gloom you know."

"Doom and gloom is strictly a Batman kind of outlook. Better is always goo-"

Michael is interrupted by the arriving food.

"Well, nice timing."

"Yeah."

She smiles then looks back at Michael.

"I don't know.... Batman is scary. He's very much "I am the terror that laps in the night!' It's... You know. Freaky. Like he could be looming and we'd never know." She says this in such a way it should jut look like to an outsider like they're just chatting. But the way Ash is looking at Michael? She's joking. Just a little, Batman does rattle her.

"Du-nun," Michael says in response before chuckling.

"On no! The tiny leathery thing that eats insects is after me!"

Michael is joking, too. he has no trouble with bats. The Bat was a different story.

"So, what team were you with again? The Titans East? Don't they have a member of the Batfolk there?"

"Yeah. Titans Together," Ash said looking a little brighter. She loved her team.

"Yes. We have Robin. She's pretty amazing. The only person I know who can stealth past the people with super senses unaided by powers." Ash has always been impressed by Robin.

"The whole of that damn clan can do that. He once did that to Jon and I. Jon. Super-freaking-boy." Michael chuckled again at that.

"I get me missing him, because with the powers I didn't get any increased senses besides the molecular vision, and even that doesn't work on anything carbon so it doesn't work on people. But Jon? The guy who can hear a car crash two cities away?"

"Maybe they have a bond with a Bat totem?" She was just guessing but it seemed possible. They are scary enough to have that going for them too.

"It could also be Jon wasn't paying enough attention."

"I don't think so. I think they have some tech to help them out, but beyond that its all skill," Michael said just before he took a bite out of his gooey burrito.

"And I wouldn't be too surprised if Jon was. Hell, he probably could have been listening for a car crash and missed Bats."

"Maybe Batman knows when no one is looking," Ash ponders outloud. Then tries some of her food and just brightens.

Then she attacks it like a fiend.

"Well, someone likes Mexican food. I'll be sure to remember for next time."

And then Michael regrets the words coming out of his mouth. That was really presumptuous.
