Sushi Station, Thursday Evening

So, a gremlin attack kinda put a damper on having date number two. Not to mention how they'd eaten the sushi she'd got to surprise Bruce with. Which, um, how rude?

Thank goodness they were all gone now and couldn't interrupt her date.

Or else she'd have to, like, eat a sun or something in frustration. And that went badly with mackerel.

So, there she waited for him to arrive, not at all wondering if maybe... just maybe she could get a glass of wine and be all adult. But that was silly. She was far too responsible to drink. Oh, kid's shows.

[[Jean is there for the goddamn Batman her date, but the place is open for your sushi needs]]

"Only an annoyance? Hopefully it'll stay that way, yeah."

"You don't sound too sure about that," Bruce said.

Jean glanced over toward Bobby. "Things are always weird or annoying here."

"Don't talk about the penguin that way," Bruce said, giving a small grin. "He didn't ask for this."

"This wouldn't be the first date he tried to interrupt, so I wouldn't put it past him."

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-29 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
"You wouldn't put turning into a penguin past him," Bruce repeated. "... That's not a power, is it?"

Jean had to shoot Bobby a look at that. "I... don't think so."

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-29 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
"You probably would have found out by now," Bruce said. "Just pretend he isn't here."

Bobby squawked in indignation, flapping his wee, useless wings at Bruce.

"That works," Jean replied quickly. "Have you decided on a drink?"

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-29 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
"I was probably just going with ginger ale," Bruce said. "It's more or less my usual."

Because they were so wholesome, it burned.

"Have you ever been in a place like this?" She asked, gesturing around at the sushi that circled the place.

"Maybe when I was little," Bruce said. "I'm sure my parents brought me to sushi places a few times. But when I was in Japan, I was mostly living on rice. How about you?"

"First time for me. My parents are more the going out for steak than sushi," Jean admitted.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-29 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
"What do your parents do?" Bruce asked.

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-29 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Not be dead?

"Dad's a history professor and mom stays at home," Jean replied.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-29 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
That was lucky for Jean since Bruce's parents... WERE DEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!

"Really? I guess that helps explain where your dedication to school comes from," Bruce mused.

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-29 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, you can't go anywhere if you don't learn."

Because knowledge is power!

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-29 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
And knowing is half the battle!

"There are other ways to learn, though," Bruce said.

"There's always homeschooling or getting tutors," Bruce said. "Those can be just as valuable as a proper school."

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-29 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, yeah, I suppose. Did you have those before here?" Jean asked.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-29 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
"For the most part," Bruce said. "It wasn't always your typical curriculum, but I kept up with my readings to make sure I didn't fall behind in everything else."

[identity profile] ihavenocodename.livejournal.com 2010-01-29 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
"But it's not the same, you know?" Jean replied. "You don't get to see other people your age all the time."

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2010-01-29 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
"That depends on where you go for your tutors," Bruce said. "In Japan, I was actually in something... similar to a classroom setting." A classroom where people tried to kick him, but they mostly failed.

Bruce wasn't going to mention the tutor he had before that. The one with the cute teenage daughter who was completely in love with him. That would be tacky to bring up.

And Bobby would totally try to peck him.

"Really? That must have been so much fun."
