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.

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."

DORK.

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

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?"

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.

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."

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?"

YOUR MOM.

"It is pretty small." And yet large enough for the most random things. Oh, cartoons. "But that's pretty cool. Someone else from New York."

"I guess you lucked out in meeting me. Apparently it's in New Jersey and Illinois in other worlds," Bruce said with a certain distaste. He didn't like the thought of Gotham not being where he knew it to be.

"That would be way too weird for me," Jean replied before taking a sip of her not-coffee. "So... what else should I know about you?"

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
"There's not too much to know," Bruce said. It wasn't a lie so much as it was THE BIGGEST UNDERSTATEMENT EVER. "I'm an avid reader. I have a butler. And I beat up a teacher in Fight Club. AND MY PARENTS ARE DEEAAAAAAAAAAD!"

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
"You have a butler?" Oh yeah, that's what she picked up on.

"He's actually more like a second father to me, but yes," Bruce said.

"Oh," Jean said in a way that someone would coo over a kitten. "That's kinda sweet. The teachers at my old school are like that to a lot of the students."

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Was it another boarding school?" Bruce asked.

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Jean nodded. "It wasn't actual school. We went to the local highschool for that. It was more for... gifted students."

"It's--you know how people here can be different, right?"

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm becoming more aware of that all the time," Bruce said.

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, the people who went to that school all had powers of sorts." Magical, shiny powers.
