WHO: Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon
WHAT: Date Night in the Mystery
WHERE: The Doors
WHEN: 6 May
RATING: Low, probably. Will update if needed.

Dick had kissed Peter and held him as much as he wanted, given him all the whispered promises he could that he'd come back safe and there was nothing to worry about. There were a bunch of things to worry about, but Dick wasn't about to let those fears get in the way of what needed doing. Really, if anything did happen to him on the other side, Peter had a whole host of people who would look out for him. Including Jay, he hoped and Jay at least wasn't likely to pull any punches (or bullets) when it came to being protection.

He'd texted Babs to tell her to meet him at the doors and changed into his uniform. He picked the one in the most shadow and leaned against the wall, arms crossed lightly over his chest as he waited for the woman who had once been the love of his life back when he'd been mistakenly informed that there'd only ever be one. She would always be his heart. It didn't matter what universe they were from or in. That Dick Grayson loved Barbara Gordon definitely seemed to be one of those constants. So he waited, a small smile on his face. He was more happy than he could say to be getting ready to go flying with her again.

It was about time they got through the door together, she and Jason would need to go too, maybe even the three of them if she could talk them into it - but after spending some time with them both Barbara was pretty sure she had that take care of as soon as she decided she was ready for it. Until then though, Dick had asked her out for the night, it reminded her of earlier times, meeting him on rooftops and making plans no matter what else was going on, they always made time for one another.

So she'd suited up and she'd made her way to the house where Dick waited for her in the shadows, "You looking to scare someone tonight, boy wonder?" She teased as she approached him, smile on her face, feeling more comfortable now than she had since she arrived in her suit with Dick. Things were always right when they were together, it didn't matter that he wasn't hers.

"What do you think?" She asked, showing off her suit, arms outstretched pleased with herself and her work. "I just redesigned it a couple of months ago, updated from leather to kevlar and added some more reinforcements, shock plates. Things like that."

"I like it," he said, taking a slow walk around her to properly appreciate her work. And, y'know, her in general. "Could use a large array of thigh pockets though. Seems weird without the thigh pockets. The heel knives are a good touch." He grinned at her. He'd consider picking some of those up himself, but honestly he'd worry about them snagging on something.

He kissed her cheek loudly. "If I was hoping to scare someone tonight, I'd put the sexy Robin outfit back on and adapt the most come-hither pose I could until Jay showed up and immediately left. Or took me up on that offer. Could go either way honestly. You ready?"

Barbara rolled her eyes at him when he declared that she needed more thigh pockets, "That's what the belt is for, you heathen." She laughed though grinning as he took in her work, she liked being able to show off a bit, it wasn't something that she normally did - but well something about Dick just made her want to. So there she was.

She laughed when he reminded her of the sexy Robin outfit, "One of these days you're going to have to try it and see what comes of it," She warned him, because he'd put it out there into the universe and now it was the sort of thing that had a life of it's own. And well Barbara just wanted to see him in it, and see what Jason made of it too. It'd be worth it however that turned out in her professional opinion.

"Yep, I'm ready." She agreed, it felt exciting, wearing the suit again, going out with Dick and they hadn't even seen where the doors would take them, it was just the thrill of being with him again that she liked.

"Alright, but I want you on stand-by in case option 3, Jay punches me for no well discerned reason happens," he teased back. He took a deep breath and opened the door, holding it behind him for her as he looked around.

"Shinjuku?" he asked, looking around. Yeah, no this was definitely Shinjuku. All neon and rain and bustling people, though the people seemed less interested in looking up than usual. And there was way more black than he'd seen the last time he was there. Most of the color seemed to be coming from the signs and that light reflecting off the clear umbrellas.

All of the places dotted around where they were seemed to be different from what he remembered the last time he was in this spot too. Nothing felt particularly dangerous. Just...different. Empty. That's what it was. It felt strangely empty. That could've just been because of the rain. Even so...

It was kind of gross just how much she loved being able to spend this kind of time with Dick, even if it meant that she wasn't where she was supposed to be, she found herself growing comfortable here in a way she probably shouldn't. But here she was going through the doors with him ready to see what kind of new adventure they'd step out into.

She frowned, it had been a while since she'd been here but she recognized it too, which was - odd. The places she'd been with Harley had been familiar in that they looked like something out of a movie, but not familiar like she'd been to them before. But this was somewhere she'd been - at least it seemed to be, except for the small ways it was a little bit different.

"This is - weird." She said slowly, of course everything about these doors was weird but this was something of a special case. It was weird because the last time she'd been here things with Dick had gotten complicated, they'd had one of their worst fights and she couldn't help but think of that now while they stood there taking in the sight of this place. "Well, what's our move?" She asked deferring to him since he'd done this more than she had.

He was scanning the area, letting his lenses tell him what he needed to know as they connected to the wifi. Regular wifi. No bat hotspots or anything around. This definitely wasn't one of either of their Japans. Could still be a Bat-Japan, just one far enough removed from their own that Bruce changed the wifi password.

Looking around, there were a few people in similar sorts of body armor. He looked over at her. "Gross and rainy sounds like a perfect day for some udon, maybe a bit of curry? Dinner date and then supplies? Raid a conbini, see if there's a Don Quixote or something open?" And by raid, he meant pay for. Obviously.

Or thinking they'd paid for it.

"Oh god yes, udon." She agreed easily and readily - Barbara had a great many skills, but the ability to resist the offer of good food was not one of them. "Yes, I think that's probably a perfect idea." She nodded, because well a meal with Dick was just about the only way something like udon could be improved upon.

Part of her half expected some thing, some person, some monster to jump out at them, after her trip through the doors with Harley it kind of seemed like that's what they were, but Dick had been going through them for a while now and hadn't mentioned that he got attacked every single time he went through.

So maybe they could just have a nice night together, dinner and gathering supplies. It'd be nice. Almost normal even. And that alone was a tempting thought.
