The Cafeteria, lunch

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah had done another look around the theater before she left last night, then checked every place she could think where Edward might be in the dorms (he wasn't hiding behind the washers).

Now she was investigating the food in the cafeteria, waiting on Priestly and Adora, and deciding that Luke's was definitely better.

Bobby was, all things considered, rather short for a guy. But he stood up and twirled as ordered. "Well?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah giggled, but managed to get out, "Totally you! We should get you some black ones. Or maybe some lace-up ones, so you can wear combat boots too?"

Actually, she thought he'd look adorable in that kind of thing. Maybe not intimidating, but still cute.

[longislandiceme]

Bobby struck a pose. "Steel-toed?" Oh yes, he was totally formidable.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Duh! That way we can sew our toes back on if something hits them." What? It was true! "Also, we need the right shades for this. I only have cute ones. We need scary ones."

[longislandiceme]

"I have a pair of blue ones," Bobby considered. "I'm not sure where they fall on the cute-to-scary scale."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Ice blue, navy blue, or baby blue?" Dinah checked seriously. "Mirror-shades, or real dark?" These things needed consideration!

[longislandiceme]

"Ice blue," Bobby said quickly, because what other color would they be. "And neither? They're just sorta transparent...ish." Because that was a word.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Ice is cool," Dinah decided. "And for that, real dark would look wrong. And the risk with mirrors is of looking too 80's or too cheesy." She smirked. "So where is our gang hanging out? The smokers have already claimed their territory. And we could throw them off the roof, but this school would probably just make us clean up the mess."

[longislandiceme]

"Hmm," Bobby mused. "The deck, maybe? We could lean up against the side of the building with our hands in our pockets and look all intimidating."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Chortling, Dinah said, "Right! And ask people, 'were you going to come out here?' all menacing to people who wanted to be on the deck, and then mess with their heads by telling them we liked them, they could stay."

[longislandiceme]

"But only so long as they promised not to spread around the fact that we were going soft on people," Bobby nodded. "Gotta keep up our reps, you know."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Dinah beamed at him. "Our facade of totally overwhelming malice must be maintained!"

[longislandiceme]

"Does our gang-club have a name?" Bobby mused. "Or are we too cool for that?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Well, we can't just call it 'People Who Want to Wear Leather and Look Cool.' It's too long," Dinah said, grinning as she slurped her drink. "Hmm. The Nonchalants? Fake Bad Instigators? FBI?"

[longislandiceme]

"Ooh, FBI. I like that one," Bobby nodded. "So we can talk about it and people would have no idea what we really mean. And, hmm, who else should we invite? Tony maybe?" Look at him go with the cleverly working him into conversation, there.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Of course! Tony is totally badass! You've met him, hunh?" Dinah snickered, and leaned forward on her elbows. "Plus being one of my best friends here. He'll look great in leather. And he already has the eyebrow ring. And probably the boots."

[longislandiceme]

Bobby nodded. "I met him at the picnic! He's totally badass. And he told me I should talk to you. Uh- not about making a club." He felt that needed to be clarified.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Ummm okay?" Dinah gave him a clueless look. "About what? Jumping off the roof, maybe?"

Because Tony totally would.

[longislandiceme]

"...You can do that here?" Bobby asked, momentarily sidetracked, because cool.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Well, no one's stopped us yet?" Dinah grinned. "Rappeling is awesome. Triela and I and some others have done it a couple times. Parker, Claire. I was going to invite Jak next time. You can come too!"

[longislandiceme]

"Sweet," Bobby grinned. "But no, that wasn't it. He um- mentioned something about you being a mu- metahuman?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah blinked at the course-correction from mu- to metahuman, then nodded. "Yeah, I am." She gave him a curious look. "Telekinesis, and touch-telepathy." She looked over at the salt and pepper shakers, and grinned, held out her hand, and they zipped to her fingers. "You know someone else who is?"

[longislandiceme]

Well, he did, and he resisted the urge to comment on how her powers were sorta like Jean's. "Yeah, me. I mean, I can't do the mind-movey thing," telekinesis, Bobby, she just said it. "But I have powers."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Ooo! Show me?" Dinah asked, sounding five. "I mean, if you can. If it's precognition or something, I get that that's not do-able."

[longislandiceme]

"Precowha?" Bobby frowned. "I don't think it's that, no," he shook his head. And glanced around quickly before holding up one arm and drawing the moisture in the air around it, forming his ice-armor.
