Rating: TBD
Status: In Progress

He'd gotten about as dressed up as he liked befre going to collect Raiden. Presentable, tidy dark shirt and jeans, still reasonably casual, it worked for him. She of course would be in red. Leather or silk he'd left up to her own choosing, either was more than fine by him. The night was more about her than anything else. She deserved a proper date, especially given it was him and he was more than happy to see she got one. So dinner and a movie and whatever she wanted besides. A night for her.

He'd even crossed that line into sappy and bought flowers, flowers he thought were very her. More exotic than the traditional and red of course. Had to go with the red when it was so very her.

Getting to Gwen's place he parked his car, grabbing the flowers from the seat next to him and took a few moments to compose himself. Harder than standing in front of a court room was taking Raiden on a date.

"Took you long enough" he muttered, to himself more than anyone. Probably he should have done something like this years ago. He cared about her, and sure he couldn't be with her like they both wanted but they could do this. They'd have this.

With a final glance in the car mirror he moved to the door and knocked. Three times, sharply.

"Raiden?"

Actually it was a combination of leather and silk. Skin tight, dark red leather pants leading up to a halter top in red silk, combined as ever with her black silk gloves. While her back was bare, her deadly skin was hidden by her hair, long curls hanging loosely down, with strands of red and blonde catching in the light.

Gwen Raiden had never ever questioned her clothing style before, feeling confident in everything she ever wore. And logically, after the compliment from Kira, she should have felt perfectly at ease with her outfit choice. But for some reason, she had doubted and questioned everything she had gone for, standing in front of her mirror for hours before making the final choice.

Dumb and girly. Who'd have thought it.

She almost jumped at the sound of the knocks at the door, having completely lost track of time. Still, there was a wide smile on her face as she answered, leaning casually against the frame.

"Hey, you."

She shamelessly looked him up and down. "Very nice."

That smile was gonna make him loose his cool, he was pretty sure of it. That just wasn't fair and had to be in some way illegal. Plus she was looking him up and down and being very Raiden about the whole thing.

"Hey, You ready for all this?"

It wasn't that he thought she'd say no, and laugh and tell him they were idiots for even considering this whole 'dating' thing. But he wasn't really going to relax until she was in the car and they were on their way. Because this, for them. It was a whole new level to what he was used to.

"And you look amazing, as usual but really, all the red?. Good call"

"More than ready," She nodded with a smirk. She didn't even need a purse, some cash was already in the back pocket of her pants and it wasn't as though she needed a key to get back into her room, just the couple of pins that were holding a few strands of hair back from her face.

So she stepped out, closing the door behind her before she laughed, offering a playful spin to show off her outfit.

"Well, someone gave me a hint that you approved of red. Thought there might be something in that."

"Oh did someone" he asked laughingly, watching her spin before running a hand down her gloved arm wrapping it into his own and walking her back toward the car. He had to admit the outfit was very much what he liked on her.

"You look amazing. So whoever that person was?. Remind me to thank them"

He opened the door to the passanger side, really deciding the plan of going all out on the gentlemanly thing was the way to go. She looked stunning and deserved to be treated like a lady.

"Found an Italian, downtown. I remember you liked Italian didn't you?" Lindsey who was never nervous around women was nervous now.

"Some kind of all knowing Seer type too," Gwen added, letting Lindsey take her arm with a laugh. It was new, and definitely interesting, to have anyone act like this with her, treating her like some kind of lady, rather than a thief.

She had to admit, she kinda liked it.

"I love Italian food," she reassured him, looking wistful for a moment. "Remember that villa I used to have in Italy? Going out to stay there whenever a break from LA was just seriously needed?" Damn she missed that place.

"I'm really going to have to get myself a new one of those here aren't I."
