cut a lotta girls, cut a lotta checks
Who: Steph and Tim!
What: Random encounter.
When: Today.
Where: Some shopping area.
Rating: PG, I hope!
Los Angeles was noticeably brighter than Gotham. Of course, that could be said about almost any city that wasn't Gotham--but even after landing in what could be considered the slums, Stephanie was still impressed with the lack of doom and gloom.
She'd be even more impressed if she had a car.
However, a few random bus adventures had brought her to a busy street lined with parking meters and shops that held things worth more than Stephanie's entire room at home. She hadn't arrived with the intent to buy anything, just to explore, but the price tags were making her head swim. Even if she were as rich as Bruce Wayne or one of his wards, she couldn't ever justify spending 800 dollars on a purse.
"Wow," Steph muttered under breath, sticking her hands into her pockets as she walked. She felt the few dollars of cash she had, a scrap of paper with her address on it, and a stick of gum. Pulling the latter out, she took a few steps closer to the curb and unwrapped it, balling the paper up and tossing it into a nearby trashcan. "Three points, woohoo..."
Okay, it was brighter in Los Angeles, but maybe not as exciting as Gotham... she should have asked Rin to tag along.
