Lobster Hut, Saturday Evening

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Because Jean was aware that the other version of herself mad plans to be here, she didn't think any harm would come in seeing to this boy.

This non-Scott boy.

So, she waited patiently at a table. Yes, still in the white and gold Phoenix costume. It was almost refreshing that none of the serving staff even looked twice at it.

Her chest on the other hand....

[[For the best date ever]]

Suddenly, Batman was in the chair across the table. He was a ninja. He could do that.

"Jean Grey," Batman said. She was dressed like a whore. A goddamn whore. Batman liked it. "Do you normally go on dates dressed like that?" Dressed like a whore.

[10-5]

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

He was a ninja with bat ears. It made Wolverine's hair seem normal.

"Bruce," Jean replied primly. Because she wasn't a whore. Unless Land was drawing her. "I don't normally go on dates."

Too busy eating galactic bodies.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Call me Batman when the mask is on," Batman said. "Why don't you date? Married?" And she was on a date. Whore. "I won't tell anyone."

[10-6]

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Batman." Which was... special. At least Scott never made her call him Cyclops on a date. "I was married, yes. But that's not the reason."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"What's the reason, then?" Batman asked. Probably got divorced for being such a whore. Her husband couldn't take it. Not like Batman could.

[10-7]

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"I've been dead."

See, not a whore at all. The least whorey person here.

Other than that lobster.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"From what?" Batman asked. He needede to rule out STDs.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"A stroke." Yes, that was a simple explanation when Xorn and Magneto are involved.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"But you're healthy now," Bruce said. "Probably because of an ancient cosmic force of some sort. Typical."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Jean paused, picking up the menu slowly. "Yes... how did you know that?"

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"I'm the Goddamn Batman, that's how," Batman said.

[11-7]

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

That didn't answer anything!

"Right..." Jean cleared her throat. "Did you want some wine?"

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Batman was already pouring some for the both of them under the table. When he brought the glasses above the table, he said, "I assume you prefer white."

Because she was a goddamn lying whore, wearing white.

[12-8]

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

White was pure like her heart!

When she wasn't trying to eat planets and destroy all life.

"I do," Jean admitted, taking the glass from him and maybe covertly sniffing it for drugs. "Thank you... Batman."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome," Batman said. "And don't worry about drugs. I only use those on criminals."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"How... charming," Jean replied, smiling faintly as she took a sip. "So, you're a vigilante then?"

Dinner conversation wasn't her strong suit, okay?

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"The only one worth a goddamn thing in my world," Batman said. "Although my sidekick is no slouch. I assume you're some sort of superhero from your costume." Either that or a filthy whore.

[13-9]

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Something like that on a more... universal sense these days." Killing Cuckoos all over the place! "You have a sidekick?" Just focus on that, Jean.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Robin. He's young, but he's the most natural crimefighter I've ever seen," Batman said.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Other than yourself?"

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"I had to work for this. He only needs to work to refine what he can do," Batman said. "By the time he's in college, he'll be almost as good as me."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Oh, he's still in highschool?" Jean, don't sound so shocked.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Let's say yes," Batman said. "What about you? Sidekicks? Teammates?"

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"I was part of a team once. Before..." You know. Dying. A lot.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Before dying. Sure," Batman said. "Makes sense. What kind of power does that cosmic entity give you, anyway?"

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Whatever the plot dictates. Why so curious about it?"

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"A cosmic entity brought you back from death. You wouldn't be curious if you were me?" Batman asked.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't ask specifics about what my date could do," Jean replied.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"How about generalities, then?" Batman asked.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"I was a telepath before." There. Make some stunning leap from that.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"If you're powerful enough to justify a cosmic entity helping you, you probably have some form of telekinesis as well. And based on the emblem on your chest," that whorishly drew attention to said magnificent chest, Batman added mentally, "and your return from the dead, I have to assume there's a phoenix motif at work and you have a form of fire power. And if the bird motif is any indication, flight capabilities, presumably connected to your telekinesis."

And if all of that was true, she was probably a goddamn freak in bed. The whore. With the magnificent chest.

[16-11]

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

She was a freak in bed, but that wasn't one of her powers. Just an awesome skill.

"You're quite the detective, Batman. I'm impressed."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"The goddamn World's Greatest," Batman said. There wasn't a trace of modesty. It was true. It was goddamn true. And he goddamn knew it. "It's just one of my many talents."

[19-11]

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"What other talents do you have?" Turn about was fair play.

Goddamnit.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Fighting, driving, flying, laughing, spending money, training children, inspiring other vigilantes, scaring cowardly and suspicious people, fucking, and cursing, goddammit, not in that order," Batman said.

Goddamn did he love all of those except for the children and other vigilantes. They were such goddamn amateurs.

[22-11]

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"That's... a very interesting list of talents," Jean replied diplomatically.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

She probably found the second to last goddamn talent the most interesting. The goddamn whore. "I trained hard for all of them," Batman said. "That's what made me into the man I am today. The goddamn BATman I am."

The Goddamn Batman didn't have time for subtleties, goddammit.

[27-12]

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"You're not well, are you?" Dear god, and she was dating this man?

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," Batman cackled.

Yes, the Goddamn Batman cackled. Deal with it, goddammit.

"The whole goddamn world isn't well. I'm trying to keep it from falling apart. Trying to keep order where the goddamn corrupt police either refuse to or are too goddamn incompetent to. If that means I'm crazy, then maybe the world needs a goddamn madman to keep the sanity."

That made no goddamn sense, but he meant every goddamn word of it.

[35-12]

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Jean... just stared. "How about we take a rain check on this date?"

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Goddamn whore. Goddamn tease. "Fine. I have some goddamn crime to fight."

[38-13]

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"You... get to that, alright?"

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

The Goddamn Batman was already gone and the money for the bill was on the table.

He was that goddamn good.
