still the mun's favourite batman, tho.

[punliners]

Look, I get it, all right? You're working with the old man now, and he's one heck of a handful. Sure, I'm not a big fan of scoring second billing, but when you get right down to it... I don't really mind the vacation.

[pause.]

Wow, I actually just called Gotham a vacation. That's it, I'm officially losing it.

[HANDS IN THE AIR he is nhft.]

[beyondschway]

Alright. Pick me up at eight then?

[Aaand she's gonna slide her hand into the crook of his arm.]

[punliners]

I'll borrow Wayne's car.

[Because damnit, if the old man doesn't owe him one by now...

He tugs her in a little closer.]

So? How've you been?

[beyondschway]

Sounds schway.

[Dana grins and lets herself be tugged in and slides an arm around behind his back instead.]

Been good though. We're only a week before this season's first swim meet, you know.

[punliners]

[He kisses her hair.]

Oh yeah? You ready for it?

[Of course she is. There aren't a lot of girls that train as hard as Dana. His tone is lightly teasing.]

[beyondschway]

Always, you know me.

[Dana doesn't lack confidence when it comes to competition.

Entirely unrelated, it's nice to have some on-on-one time knowing (tentatively) that Terry's not going to be rushing off anywhere at the sound of a ringing phone.]

Couple of the new girls need some more help though so I'll be staying later a couple nights this week. Think you'll make it to the meet?

[punliners]

I--

[Loaded question. With a loaded answer. Terry's learned not to make promises he can't keep.]

I'll try my best, okay?

[beyondschway]

[She can't say she's surprised he won't commit to a firm "yes" considering how Mr. Wayne runs him ragged, but it's all she can ask for that he at least try.]

Alright, then.

What has Mr. Wayne kept you so busy with these days anyway?

[punliners]

[How does he say 'actually I was dumped in another dimension and spent time dealing with a crazy AI'...]

Well, now that he's the acting CEO of Waynecorp again... god, Dane.

[He runs a hand through his hair.]

I don't think there's anything I haven't done for him. First time he has me jump out of a birthday cake, though, I'm handing in my two weeks.

[beyondschway]

[She looks sympathetic, right up until that last bit. She smirks a bit up at him.]

What if it's for my birthday?

[The question has to be asked, and no, she's not sorry because he started it.]

Even then, McGinnis?

[So totally teasing him.]

[punliners]

[... okay he grins at that.]

If Wayne's paying me to jump out of your birthday cake, first of all - weird, - and second of all.

[He kisses her. Dat smirk, Dana. Jeeze.]

If I'm going to jump out of a birthday cake for anyone, I guess it might as well be the best girlfriend ever, huh?

[beyondschway]

[Point to Dana Tan. Boyfriend smile and kiss achieved. Her smile gets just the tiniest bit smug.]

Pretty much, but if Wayne asks you, you might want to consider handing in your two-weeks notice before, not after.

[punliners]

Well, that doesn't exactly free me up from the obligation of... you know, girlfriend-related-cake-jumping.

Or something.

[What are they even talking about at this point. Something about cake.]
