Dick tapped his foot quickly, it used to be somewhat of a nervous tick, but now it was something he just couldn't help but doing. He looked at the diner around him, it looked like something straight out of a TV show – red and white booths, big and burly cook, clean looking place, and cute waitresses.
Wally folded his arms and sat them on the table as he looked across the table at Dick, "You look stressed" he observed. Dick looked over a huffed, "Yep, the whole college thing isn't very fun" he lightly joked.
Wally chuckled as he sipped his coffee, "The billionaire playboy doesn't like school? How surprising!" Wally joked sarcastically. Dick rolled his eyes and nodded, a waitress walked up to their booth.
She was young, probably the same age as them. Her waitress outfit showed off her definitive curves. She had long ebony hair that went down to her shoulders and cool brown eyes that shined as she smiled at Dick.
"Ready to order?" she asked, her voice was high pitched and perky, though not like Harley Quinn… Dick had nightmares about that voice. Wally nodded and looked down at his menu, "I will have the double bacon cheeseburger with Swiss cheese and extra fries" he stated.
The waitress nodded, Dick eyed her while she wrote Wally's order down. Dick thought he had seen her face before and was a little flustered that he couldn't recall a face such as beautiful as hers.
Dick smiled at her as she turned to take his order. He glanced down at the menu, "I will have the Texas-Style cheeseburger with extra mayonnaise and hold the tomatoes, please" he stated with a smile.
The waitress nodded, "Can I get you guys anything else?" she asked with a smile. Dick grinned, "How about your name?" he asked. The waitress smiled as her cheeks reddened, he was pretty cute. She smiled, "It's Dana" he told him, flashing her teeth.
"Mine's Richard, but everyone calls me Dick." He held a hand out to Wally, "And this is my play date – Prince Roger the 42nd" he joked with a grin. She giggled, wow Dick love her laugh. Wally knocked his hand away and rolled his eyes.
"Well Dick, it was nice officially meeting you. You food will be out soon." She stated as she cheerfully walked away. Dick watched the sway of her hips as he walked back to the kitchen. Wally raised an eyebrow, "You should get her number, you is totally in to you." He stated as he took another gulp of his coffee.
Dick shook his head, "Where's the fun in that? I'd like to throw out some bait before going in for the kill" he explained with a smile. Wally rolled his eyes. For the next fifteen or so minutes the two friends talked about things such as their studies, every so often Dana would pass by and Dick would glance her way and smile.
Dana walked over with their baskets of food in hand. She smiled as she set the food down, Dick took his opportunity to talk to her. "Hey, Dana" he started as she gave him her attention, "I'm kind of embarrassed that I'd forget a pretty face like yours, but I think I've seen you before." He stated.
Dana blushed a little, "Do you go to Gotham University?" she asked with a smile. Dick nodded, "It's not proudest achievement, but yeah, I go there." he remarked with a grin. Dana giggled once more, "I got there too. I don't think I've ever seen you before though." She stated.
Dick shrugged, "Like I said, I'm not keen on attending too often. I like to keep the professors guessing." He retorted. Dana giggled again, God he loved her laugh. "Hey Dana, we go other customers. So are you done flirting, yet?" the big cook's voice boomed from the kitchen.
"I have to go, but you should text me later…" she stated as she wrote down her cell phone number down on the palm of his hand. Dick grinned, "I'll be sure to put this to good use" he remarked as she walked away with a smile on her face.
Wally looked at him with a smirk, "And yet again – Dick Grayson works his wonderful charm." He joked between the munching of his burger. Dick shrugged, "All in a days work" he joked.
Dick checked the time of his phone and cursed under his breath, "Well, apologies my dear prince, but I must leave. Allow me to pay for the food" he explained as he pulled out his rather thick wallet.
Wally shrugged, "I'm not gonna stop you" he retorted. Dick pulled out two twenties and a ten. Wally raised an eyebrow, "Don't you think you're overpaying, just a bit" he asked. Dick shook his head, "Fifteen was for the food… The rest was for the view" he remarked as he glanced back over at Dana.
He walked out of the diner and shoved into a shady looking man. Dick turned to the man, "Sorry man, I didn't see you…" his voice trailed off as he saw the grip of a handgun in the back of the man's jeans. The man pulled his pants up and looked up at Dick, "Just… Watch where you're going…" he stated as he entered the diner.
Dick cursed under his breath, guess his boss would have to wait a few more minutes.
The shady looking man entered the diner and eyed the register. Dana walked up to him with a smile, "What can I get for ya?" she happily questioned, Dick was still on her mind – er – Dick Grayson…
The man pulled out his glock from the back of his pants and aimed it at the woman. Dana's eyes widened as she realized the situation, "Give me everything in the cash register, toots" his voice was rough and low, he had a Boston accent.
Nightwing strolled out of the kitchen with a hamburger in his hand, "You're not a very high class thug – that gun could barley out shoot a BB gun" he remarked sarcastically. Dana dropped to the ground as the thug shot at Nightwing a few times.
The vigilante easily dogged the incoming shot. He leapt over the counter and drop kicked the man into a nearby booth. The gun flew into the air and Nightwing easily caught it. The hero smirked as the thug pulled out a pocket knife.
"You're kidding right?" he asked as he looked at the small knife. The thug the charged at him, swing the blade rapidly. Nightwing kicked the weapon out of his hand and stuck into a wall, Nightwing punched him with all his power.
The thug collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Nightwing looked over at Dana, "Sorry about the mess…" he apologized as looked around at the diner. He grinned at Wally, who hadn't stopped from eating his meal.
Nightwing pulled out a hundred dollar bill from his wallet and placed it on the counter, "That's for the sandwich and the mess. Take it easy" he winked at Dana and grappled off to another rooftop.
