If Nick were here, she'd be plastered to his side as he tried to calm her down. But Nick wasn't here and she had to make due. Anything would be better than being alone right now.
Anything.
Clutching her bag, she walked hastily down the sidewalk, not looking where she was going.]

Oh, bugger it all you sodding twat! Watch where you're--
[ And then he sees how young she is...]
--Strewth. [ He shakes his head, and stands up, offering her his hand for much of the same. ] Don't I look like a right berk right now.

[She has no idea what he just said.]

[ He brushes himself off, his trenchcoat fluttering with the movement. ]

Only a man. Yet another human with so much power. Approaching was something he considered, yet he continued to hang back, and observe.

After a block or so, he lit up a Silk Cut at a stoplight, and waited to see if he was still being followed.

Instead, he continued walking, closing in on the lamp post. From the fog, he approached, his wake beginning to burn off the thick moisture until what was once hard lines of green glowing in the mist resolved into a creature with hard lines of green emanating from his body, eyes glowing from beneath cloth over his eyes.

He turned to face the glowing beastie the moment the fog recoiled from it like some kind pack of horrified ghosts. He wasn't surprised that the thing was the usual fare -- some right huge demon born from the depths of hell, eyes glowing, with arcane marks tattooed into its body and an attitude as bad as its order. He put on a brave face.
"Hullo gov'na, fancy meeting you here."

Bloody 'ell.
[ He knows who Diana is in a very vague, filtered way. He's never been asked to join the League -- officially -- but she's one of its most important figureheads, and his new housemate to boot. He stops once she gets close, and exhales smoke to the left of them, not wanting to start off on the wrong foot. ]
Wotcher, Di -- how's it goin'?

[Diana doesn't know John personally -- she's only heard about him, and a lot of it wasn't very pleasant. She doesn't want to assume anything, though. She's not big on first impressions; she prefers to get to know a person instead of making quick judgments. Besides, Zatanna seems particularly close too him, and Diana counts that for something.]

[ His reputation precedes him. It always has. He knows that Wonder Woman isn't quite as gung-ho about, well, anyone from his side of the tracks, so part of him intrinsically knows that they won't get along, which makes him try harder than usual to watch himself around here. ]
You always take the scenic route?
