Gotham Avengers

Date Night

The next day, The Gotham Avengers had completed another mission successfully. At the tower, Piotr saw Barbara was alone, and decided to talk to her. "Hey Barbara, can I speak to you?" Barbara turned around and smiled. "Yeah, sure." She took off her cowl and held it. "I wish to speak, not as teammate, but as friend," said Piotr. He was not in his metallic skin. "Alright.... what's up? What do you want to talk about?" She asked, sweeping her hair out of her face. "You are friend of Dinah, da?" Piotr asked. "Yeah, we're really close friends. She helped me through a tough time." She smiled a bit at him. "Why?"

"Well, do you know if she is married, in relationship, or single?" asked a nervous Piotr, blushing a little. She smirked. "Ohhh. So that's what this is about." Babs chuckled. "She's single... but that woman doesn't stay single for long. She's in a weird on and off relationship with a guy called Oliver." She explained. "I'd hurry up and tell her if I were you."

"I see," said Piotr, "is there a certain flower she likes?" He hoped as his leader, she wouldn't say anything to Dinah. "Her mom used to own a flower shop so she probably likes most of them.... but I think that she's mentioned that she likes Bluebells and Chrysanthemums..." she told him. "Interesting," said Piotr, "thank you for this information Barbara. You won't tell anyone, right?"

"No, this is between you and me, Piotr." She told him with another smile. "Now go get that bombshell of a woman."

"Blagodaryu vas, Barbara," said Piotr as he smiled and left the Avengers Tower to look for Dinah. Barbara gave him a playful salute and walked off to change. Meanwhile, Dinah was shrugging off her jacket and placing it in her locker. Piotr walked to where Dinah was at, and gently tapped on the door. Dinah whipped her head over to the door and walked over, a hand on her hip. "Piotr?" She looked a little surprised when she saw him. "Hello Dinah," said Piotr, "how are you? I hope I'm not disturbing you." He smiled at her. "No, not at all." She returned his smile and stepped aside. "Come in." Piotr went in and said, "Thank you. How are you doing today, Dinah?"

"I'm doing fine, thank you. A little tired from the mission but I'm okay." She told him. "And you? How are you doing?"

"I'm doing alright myself," said Piotr, "Barbara is good leader. Peter and Mr. Wayne made right choice choosing her. Dinah, there is something I want to ask you..."

"Barbara is a fantastic leader, that's true." She nodded then looked at him. "Ask away, Hun." She told him. "Are you doing anything this weekend?" asked Piotr, "Because I would like to hang out with you... That is, if you don't mind..." He blushed a little. He hadn't been this nervous since he asked Kitty out. Dinah studied him for a bit. "I don't mind at all, Piotr. It's a date." She gave him a smile. Dinah may have been on a break with Oliver and it should have been hurting her but she and Oliver had broken up so many times that it just stopped hurting after a while. And just because she had broken up with him about a month ago didn't mean she couldn't have some fun. "Where would you like to hang out?" asked Piotr, "I hear there's bar in Gotham that sells good Russian vodka."

"Oh that... that sounds like fun." She smirked. "How about this Saturday? I'm free then." The blonde offered. "Very well. It's a date then," said Piotr as he smiled. His mind was going "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Clearly excited on the inside, but calm on the outside. "It's a date." She agreed. "Now shoo. I've gotta change." Dinah smiled and put her hands on her hips. "Of course," said Piotr as he covered his eyes and left the room, respecting her privacy. She closed the door to her room and changed. Dinah then made her way out of it just to relax. It was now Saturday, and Piotr got a bouquet of Bluebells, and he was outside of Dinah's house, wearing a good suit that was presentable. Dinah wore a nice bronze colored dress that wasn't too flashy or super fancy but just enough for a date. She walked up the door, black heels clicking on the floor. "Piotr! Hi, you look handsome." She complimented. Piotr's jaw dropped in awe. "Hello Dinah," he said, "you look beautiful..." She blushed a bit. "Thanks, Hun." Dinah smiled at him. "I'm ready to go, are you?" She asked, not noticing the bouquet yet. "Yes," said Piotr, "but before we go, I brought these for you." He then offered the Bluebells to her. Dinah's eyes lit up as she took the bouquet in her hands. She smiled at him. "Oh they're beautiful. Let me put them in water." She told him before leaving to place the flowers in a vase with water. Piotr smiled at her. He was glad that he could make her happy. She quickly came back and closed the door behind her. "Thanks for the flowers." Dinah told him. "You're welcome," said Piotr, then he offered his arm, "shall we?" She took his arm in hers and nodded. "It sure is lovely night in Gotham," said Piotr as they walked, "almost rare."
