He had worked there longer than any other bartender in the club. His best friend Roy had told him his mother was thinking of opening a, uh… dancing club, if that's what you would call it, and asked him to help out. He wasn't quite sure what it was, and for the first few months he was a complete and utter mess. Watching the girls dance like they did made him feel uncomfortable, especially when they were on the bar. He didn't know if he should be looking at them or if it would be considered rude if he didn't, so instead he kept his eyes on the floor and the customers. After a while he became used to the girls and was able to look at them without blushing and having his fellow bartenders mock him for his innocence.

Tonight the club was packed. Every yellow light was on, casting the room in its usual bright fog and haze. The promise on the poster outside told of a new dancer, one who would also sing. Roy had been dropping hints for weeks about 'new talent', and he assumed tonight would be her debut. He was polishing glasses behind the bar, waiting for the opening number. He finished his last glass and put it in its place as Roy slid into a stool, hair mussed and a look on his face Kaldur had only seen when the club first became a hit. Kaldur poured Roy a quick shot of whiskey and put it in front of him; grinning back at Roy's excited expression. It was contagious.

"She's gonna be a hit Kal, I know it! Dinah found her a few weeks ago and we've been training her in private. Opening night pal! Be ready for lots of tips." Roy smiled widely at Kaldur, slamming his hands on the bar top a few times in excitement. He took his shot quickly and smiled again. Kaldur laughed at his friends antics. He watched Roy's red hair and white dress shirt weave its way to the side of the stage where Dinah was waiting. Kaldur felt more then heard the hush fall over the room and straightened his vest and hat. Considering the vest was the only thing he was wearing on his upper body he fidgeted with it every night. After he was satisfied with his vest he began straightening his hat again as woman with long blonde hair sauntered up to him. She looked him dead in the eyes and half smiled sensuously. Her eyes were a startling silver grey and her blonde hair was long and partially curled down her back. Her makeup was relatively light considering the show.

"Excuse me." She said, still looking him in the eyes. She pointed slowly at his hat. "Could I borrow that for a moment?" He took his hat off and handed it to her. She smiled fully. "A gentleman. Thanks. I will return it." And with that she walked off toward the stage just as the music was starting. The blonde woman walked through the center of the club and much as Kaldur would like to deny it, he watched her hips the whole way. She walked up the stairs onto the stage gracefully. She took center stage, donning his hat before striking a pose in the shadowed half-light. Kaldur didn't take his eyes away from her form. She had been wearing a long black coat that had been thrown off stage before the lights came up. The woman was wearing a black and white corset type costume that stopped at the highest part of her thigh. Underneath she wore tights and black heeled shin height boots. Kaldur's eyes widened at the sight. As the music continued, the woman and the rest of the troupe began snapping in unison for a few seconds. The she started to sing.

It's a cold and crazy world
That's raging outside
But baby me and all my girls are bringing on the fire
Show a little leg, gotta shimmy your chest
It's a life it's a style, it's a need,
It's burlesque…

The lights came up fully and the blonde woman turned to face the audience, hopping onto a chair and leaning over the back of it toward the audience. The troupe snapped again as everyone behind the woman shifted around.

Been holding back for quite some time
And finally the moments right!
I love to make the people stare
They know I've got that certain savoir-faire!

The audience was transfixed by the woman on the stage. As the troupe moved around her, helping her off the chair and into another formation of dancing, Kaldur found he couldn't take his eyes off either. He felt lucky no customers wanted any drinks during those few minutes of her performance because he probably wouldn't have been able to serve them. Hell, he couldn't even think properly let alone use hand eye coordination. As the routine finished and the audience finished clapping, Kaldur felt his hands rise of their own volition. She walked off center stage as the other dancers filed sideways and waltzed up to him. She smiled at him fully, looking confident and comfortable in her costume.

"Thanks for the hat." She said smiling. She was about to take it off but Kaldur put his hand over hers to stop her.

"Keep it. You wear it better." She laughed at his words and grabbed his hand before taking them off of her head.

"Any conditions for letting me keep it?" Kaldur pondered while looking into her eyes again.

"You must tell me your name." She looked taken aback. She raised her eyebrows at him and he chuckled.

"Well that's easy. My name is Artemis. It's nice to meet you." Artemis shook the hand of Kaldur's that she was already holding and they both laughed.

"My name is Kaldur. It is a pleasure to meet you Artemis." He bowed slightly and took her hand more firmly before flipping it over and kissing it. When he stood straight again a slight flush had risen into her cheeks.

"Like I said earlier, a gentleman." Artemis smiled at him and he smiled back before she walked off. Kaldur watched her hips again as she walked away, losing himself in a daydream as he did so. A snap in front of his face woke him.

"Hey, Kal. So, what did ya think?! She's amazing right?" Roy said, taking his seat before pulling the bottle of whiskey from under the bar. Kaldur chuckled again at his friend before looking to where Artemis had disappeared into the crowd.

"Yes, she is."
