Deidre pulls up on her motorbike in front of Bruce's mansion. She dials his number -- nicked from the time Thomas was trying to convince everyone to prank call Bruce Wayne -- and her grin can be heard in her voice.

"I'm outside. You ready?"

Comments

"I'll be right out"

Bruce comes out and walks down the many stairs to the driveway of the mansion. He's wearing leather pants and jacket and carrying a black helmet.

"Hey. I'm ready"

[batman_begins_]

"Yes, I have to say it's been... interesting. People knowing more about me than I've told them and others that are nothing like me. So far I've met some nice people and some lovely ladies though so I certainly have no complaints"

[rayneonmyparade]

"There's several versions of me on the nexus, although they go by a different name," she comments. "Interesting is a good word for it. I like the nexus...I found a whole new world through it, that was...enlightening." She smiles, this time with just a touch of mystery.

"I'm glad you're enjoying your time there."

[batman_begins_]

"A whole new world hm? Why do I suddenly feel like this picnic blanket should be soaring us over an arabian city?"

[rayneonmyparade]

That makes her laugh. "Dear Lord, anything but Disney."

[batman_begins_]

"I don't know, I kind of enjoy it." He grins.

"Women are much more beautiful when they laugh though, so please forgive me my joke"

[rayneonmyparade]

She grins back. "I can hardly stay annoyed with someone so charming."

[batman_begins_]

"Well I certainly work hard at it, I'm pleased to see it pays off." He smiles and clinks his glass with hers before taking a drink.

[rayneonmyparade]

She stretches out on the picnic blanket, propped up on her elbows, one leg stretched out and the other knee bent upwards. She pops a grape into her mouth, smiling.

"Oh, it certainly does."

((I hope you're happy, I now have 'a whole new world' stuck in my head...dratted catchy tunes...!))

[batman_begins_]

Bruce grabs a grape of his own and pops it in his mouth before stretching out himself.

"So, what does a lovely lady like you do, Deidre?"

((Oh yes, I truly am evil incarnate.... as well as the biggest Disney geek you'll ever know))

[rayneonmyparade]

Now's the time for a bit of what Deidre likes to call 'playing fast and loose with the truth'. Of course, she has no intention of actually lying...just leaving out a few pertinent details.

"I'm a witch," she says, conversationally. "I have a...laboratory of sorts, where I explore experimental magic for my family to make use of. I'm told I work far too hard, so the last few days have been a bit of a holiday from it."

[batman_begins_]

"Interesting." He looks at his wine with a smirk.

"I hope there's no love potion in any of this food or drink."

[rayneonmyparade]

Deidre laughs. "Love potions are more trouble than they're worth...haven't you ever heard the phrase, if you want something done right, do it yourself?"

He might feel a pinch to the backside, but Deidre hasn't moved, indeed, her expression doesn't even change.

'Wicked' is a very good word for Deidre Cordelia Rayne.

[batman_begins_]

He feels it and turns his head to look back at his ass.

"Did you do that?"

[rayneonmyparade]

She manages to keep a straight face...for about five seconds before she breaks into a brief fit of giggles.

"I might've."

[batman_begins_]

"I really have to learn how to do that. Might come in handy. I admit it can't be as fun if you can't actually feel it in your hand"
