Flora had seen a lot of strange things around Magix City from a woman chasing a herd of rabbits to a man squatting over a bunch of rocks claiming that he was trying to hatch them. Magix City was indeed a strange place but nothing could prepare her for the town Batman.
Everyday the woman would dash around in that ridiculous suite with that ridiculous cape flapping wildly behind her. The worst part was, the costume was handmade and with sequin fabric. Flora almost paused to ask why she didn't just go buy a pre-made one from the store. But she thought better of it.
It was on a summer evening, she had just gotten back from the Magix City Indie-Pop Summer Festival when she finally achieved a close encounter with the woman in the Batman suit.
She was still wearing her pink and white flower crown.
It's strange how the little details stuck.
With a plastic cup of dandelion tea in hand she collided with the female Batman.
She clutched the drink in just the right way, so to keep it from splattering all over the other woman's precious super suit.
"Hey, you're one of them boho chicks aren't you?" The woman remarked. "You guys are into that indie stuff right and nature?"
"I guess you can say that." Flora replied. "And I take it you're a comic book dork...uh, I mean Marvel fan?"
"DC actually." Bloom the woman replied. "But actually this was all just a dare; my friend Stella dared to walk around in this for a whole day."
Flora laughed. "Is that right? So how many times have you taken this dare on?"
"Just today."
"So yesterday you were wearing it for fun?"
"Oh...you already caught me..."
"I think the entire town has caught you." Flora pointed out.
"Well is awkward."
"Yes, kind of." Flora admitted. "But hey, we all have our own interests. Perhaps if you let me take you to an indie concert I'll let you take me to a comic-con."
The woman tapped her chin. "Deal." She scrawled her number down on a receipt from a comic book store and handed it to Flora.
"Alright then..."
"Bloom," she filled in.
"Alright then Bloom, I'll see you at the Rapture Rose concert in about three days."
"Call me Batbloom."
Flora rolled her eyes. "I'll see you later...Batbloom."
"What a dork." The floral fairy muttered to herself.
