Some Hole-In-the-Wall Taco Stand, Gotham City, Thursday Evening

[batwaffles]

Granted, a dinky little joint like this was probably not the first thing that might come to mind when you thought of places to have dinner on Valentine's Day, but in Stephanie's defense it was open, the food was actually really good, and it was just far enough away from the scene of a recently foiled crime that nobody would think it was a

"You have the weirdest criminals here," Tony informed her seriously. Despite one of his villains being named The Unicorn. Yeah.

[batwaffles]

Yes, the look Stephanie was giving him could basically be captioned says the guy who has a villain named The Unicorn. In giant Helvetica font. Like a meme.

"Every city's got to be known for something, I guess," she said, shrugging. "World's Biggest Ball of Yarn, Oldest Rocking Chair In Existence, Weirdest Criminals Ever."

She gave him a sheepish smile. "Welcome to the glamour that is my fabulous hometown."

[hoorayimrich]

Their entires lives were memes waiting to happen. "I see a booming tourist industry about to get robbed."

[batwaffles]

Someone should get on that meme thing.

"Come for the scenery, stay to get burglarized?" Stephanie asked dryly. "The Chamber of Commerce might love that one."

[hoorayimrich]

"Gotham: The New York of crime." They were terrible people.

[batwaffles]

Of course they were terrible people. Terrible people who reinforced each other's behavior.

"Soooooo." Stephanie fiddled with a napkin. "Fun night out so far?"

By their standards. Don't judge.

[hoorayimrich]

"Well, I was with you and beating up criminals," Tony replied, leaning over for a kiss.

[batwaffles]

Stephanie grinned into the kiss and reached up to wrap an arm around his neck. Without pulling away she asked, "And that's always a recipe for a good time, right?"

Weirdo.

[hoorayimrich]

"Mostly the first part," Tony admitted. Because he was all smooth like that. Also, it was true.

[batwaffles]

Sure, make her blush to go with the grinning, Tony.

"Because the second part is just any old day in the life."

Which was also true.

[hoorayimrich]

"But the tacos are once in a lifetime," he assured her solemnly.

[batwaffles]

"You have to admit," Stephanie said around a mouthful of one of the aforementioned tacos, "they're not bad. Plus, hey, bonus possibility of heartburn to remember, which is appropriate to the day."

She paused.

"If you squint. And stand on your head."

[hoorayimrich]

"You make my heart flutter." A best. "Wait... Wait... Pacemaker. That's the pacemaker."

He thought he was funny.

[batwaffles]

"Awww." Stephanie was going to have a hard time selling that pout, since she was clearly trying not to laugh (and failing). "I don't get even a tiny little bit of credit for that?"

[hoorayimrich]

"Baby, you cause my circuits to malfunction." Tony. Tony, no.

[batwaffles]

Good thing Livewire mostly hung around in Metropolis.

"Guess it's my electric personality," Stephanie said, wiggling her eyebrows. Don't encourage him, Steph.
