The Perk, Tuesday Evening

After a handwavey morning spent jogging around the island with Bruce, Jean was so very thrilled to meet him up for coffee. It was totally a date. And he wasn't even going to try and grope her!

Probably.

Look, it happened a lot in Fandom.

She ordered the least coffee-like coffee on the menu and sipped it while thinking herself oh so mature to be drinking coffee in general.

Yeah.

Bruce, meanwhile, ordered the most coffee-like coffee. That is to say, coffee. "Sorry about not letting you know about the coffee earlier. I called on Saturday, but there was something strange happening with the phone lines."

"Yeah, I got some really weird messages," Jean replied, rolled her eyes at it all. "I swear, this island is totally insane."

"I think I have to ask now. What kind of messages?" Bruce asked.

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-13 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Someone I don't know telling me it was gross of me to date their relative. Another was from a friend claiming we made out."

"Let me guess. You hadn't done either," Bruce said.

"Ew! Bobby's like a little brother. And I haven't dated anyone in ages." Poor, poor Jean.

It might have been due to bad taste on her part. Or still writing JG+SS= ♥ on stuff.

"Really?" Bruce asked. "I find that surprising."

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-13 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh sure. Flatter her.

"Really?"

"I would have figured guys would be lining up," Bruce said. "I suppose they may be intimidated by running in freezing weather, though."

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-13 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
"It's not a commitment to keeping in shape if you let the weather keep you inside," Jean replied with a grin. "Treadmills aren't the same."

"What if there's a blizzard?" Bruce asked.

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-13 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Well... maybe a blizzard. But cold isn't an excuse. If you're running enough, it's fine."

And are insane. Insane might be necessary.

"The blizzard is still workable if you know you way around skis," Bruce said. "But that's probably more dedication than sane people would have."

Which is why Bruce had trained like that before.

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-13 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Jean nodded in agreement. "You could get lost in a blizzard and freeze to death."

Unless you were Batman.

"Not if you prepare correctly," Bruce said. He paused. "But I think we've gotten off the subject. You don't like clowns?"

Yes, he was paying attention in Ethics.

"They're freaky." And, you know. Mind control dreams.

"I guess I can understand that," Bruce said. "I do have to wonder what would drive a person to be a clown. Besides falling into a vat of chemicals and yes, I did bring it up entirely for a Joker reference. Booyah."

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
DORK.

"Some weird need to wear bad make up?" Jean suggested.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Ignore my complete failure at HTML.

"Maybe. But now that I know clowns freak you out, is there anything else I should know about you?" Bruce asked.

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
NO

Jean laughed and thought about it for a moment. "Where are you from?"

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
DO IT OR I'LL POINT OUT THAT JEAN DIDN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO ADDRESSING BRUCE'S QUESTION.

"Gotham City. You probably haven't heard of it," Bruce said. "Most people here haven't."

CRAM IT UP YOUR CRAM HOLE, ORPHAN.

"...is it a small town?" YES JEAN. IT IS.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
BRUCE IS THE BEST AT CRAMMING THINGS IN HIS CRAM HOLE.

"It's one of the biggest cities in my world," Bruce said. "But it doesn't seem to exist on most Earths. I don't understand it."

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

"That's really weird," Jean agreed. "I'm from Bayville. No one has heard of that either." Because it wasn't Westchester. "It's... near New York City."

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
YOUR FACE IS WHAT SHE SAID.

"Really?" Bruce asked. "Gotham's not far from New York, either. How big is Bayville?"
