He wouldn't move her from her perch for the world but he needed to find a few moments of calm. Of course this calm was rather fragile, both he and Helena were like fire. It wouldn't take much more than a kiss or for his hands to wander up her torso to set them both off.<br/><br/>He wasn't sure when he completely lost track in the fact that Netflix was on or at least on that 'keep watching' screen. It was irrelevant since the whole point of a date was to get to know each other and become more comfortable. Show some of yourself that you'd normally never show to anyone else. Ok she'd been straddling him in her sleeping attire for nearly three hours, the comfortable part was probably achieved; still it was nice to just share with each other rather than him remembering every detail about her like he'd been a stalker.<br/><br/>"<strong>We had a place in the country. It was a villa with a stable. I loved those horses.</strong>" he mentioned when she spoke about her dream. “Seems kinda silly since I told you I have never even been camping. But despite New York being a place I was raised, it never felt like....home. I’m not a typical New Yorker where I’m obsessed with everything about it, where my mentality is ‘there’s New York and then there’s the Rest of The World’. It’s dirty, violent, crowded, overrated, and expensive. I want to live near a -real- lake, not a filthy harbor, I want to know my neighbors more than just ‘who to avoid’, and I want a balcony from my bedroom that doesn’t have flashing billboard lights advertising the new dish at Red Lobster keeping me awake all fucking night. Just want something.....different.”<br/><br/>Part of him wants to stop his first impulse but he just says whats on his mind anyways. "<strong>Just to point out the obvious--we don't have to live in this mountain. We can get a small place with a few horses near her. It doesn't have to be so much of a dream--</strong>" he gestures to their room. '<strong>We are practically living together anyways. Something to think about.</strong>"<br/><br/>“Oh, God, do you remember the Halloween party we threw in Batman’s apartment? And he entered in his suit and everyone thought it was the coolest costume and no one took him seriously when he was yelling for them to leave?” By this time, Helena had fallen to Brion’s left side, her head next to his on the pillow as she remained on her side, facing him. Her long dark hair was loose about her shoulders as she laughed at the memory. That made him laugh as he played with her hair, it was safer than skin. "<strong>It was funny to watch the same intimidation he normally used to terrify aliens completely fail. It was probably the yelling. It's out of character for Batman to not be all dark and forboddingly silent.</strong>"<br/><br/>“I’m pretty sure it was my idea, you were totally against it, but that was our dynamic back then, me always getting you into trouble and being forced to train extra hard the next day with me. Batman always expected the world from you, and the only times you disappointed him was when I was around.” She wrapped her arm across his chest again and yawned lightly, it much later than when they started. “I’ll try to be a better influence this time around.....” she whispered, kissing his bare shoulder.<br/><br/>He snorts. "<strong>You had all the best ideas. And I think you misread your effect on both me and Batman.</strong>" he says pulling her closer. "<strong>He could have kicked us out at any time. And for all his bat pouting, you kept him from turning into something that was less a man and more of a legend. You made him react like a human. You broke through that will of iron and made him feel emotions. Messy, illogical, human emotions. And...once again, if he really didn't like that, he could have shown either of us the door at any time. Same reason he had the slew of Robins--it gives him someone to protect. It keeps him grounded</strong>."<br/><br/>He could see she was fading. He gestured at the light switch and they were in darkness. He did the same to the tv. "<strong>I don't want you to be a good influence</strong>." he said mildly squirming again when she kissed his shoulder. "<strong>Just be you and I'll be happy.</strong>" he said snuggling her and yawning himself. Her bed wasn't far ..but he didn't want her to go, this was just right as it was.
