"I really don't see the appeal," Malia grumbled as she adjusted the strapless leather armor against her chest.
"What's not to love with dressing up and been someone else," Lydia happily replied as they took in the sight before them.
People milling around in their costumes; Ironman, Aqua man, female Loki, Thor, Super girl, Batman and few Anime characters in the mix. It was chaos as people ran, walk, jump and display their costume.
Malia shook her head. "Honestly, this is not what I had in mind for a fun Saturday."
Lydia put her arm around Malia's shoulder. "Stop be a kill joy and have some fun. And beside you make a badass Wonder woman," Lydia grinned.
Malia glanced down at herself, her "Armor" was a copycat of the DC Wonder Woman film. Her armor made of brown leather with gold piping with a short dark blue skirt, she paired it with a pair of dark brown high knee boots with platform heels. At her waist was a lasso, her hair was down past her shoulder with a hairband placed at her forehead.
Malia looked Lydia in her Batgirl costume, with a pointy bat ears, and pale yellow gloves and high heels boots. Her strawberry blonde hair partly covered by her mask fall down her back and shoulders.
"You look pretty sexy yourself," Malia complemented Lydia.
Lydia grinned at her and looked at ahead. "Well am hoping to catch a robin."
Malia chuckled and glanced around the crowded room.
On the other side of the room, Scott winced as he adjusted the utility belt at his waist.
"Dude, just stop you're giving out the wrong signals," Stiles groaned.
"This costume gives the signal," Scott grumbled in response.
"Bro, I love you but why did you dress up in this?" Scott said as he pointed to himself.
Stiles took in his batman costume, Ben Afleck batman and shrug.
"Coz you make a convincing batman," Stiles replied.
Scott scowled under his mask. "And you don't?"
Stiles gave a nod to a Raven girl walking in front of them. She giggled and walked away.
"Everyone knows that Nightwing gets the girls," Stiles responded.
Stiles was in his Nightwing costume completed with the batons at his back and a small mask to cover his eyes. His hair was damp and falling over his eyes. Whereas Scott was a hot, suffocating in a bat suit with a pointy mask and eyeliners. Really, eyeliners?
Scott closed his eyes and counted to ten, then he opened his eyes and looked at Stiles.
"Then why am I here at all?" Scott asked.
Stiles put his hands on his shoulders and gave it a squeeze.
"Because of hot chicks," Stiles said as he spread his hands towards the crowd in front.
Scott could see a few Captain America, Transformers, a few Disney characters and female characters that he was not familiarized with.
"I really hate you. You know that, right?" Scott sighed.
"I know," Stiles replied.
They walked around the room, visiting booths, having their pictures with other Justice League characters. An hour later Scott began to enjoyed himself, just a little. Stiles got a lot of attention from Raven girls, Batgirl and Star woman? Scott wasn't sure about her but Stiles was having fun. He was also receiving attentions from a few Wonder woman, Catwoman and Black Widow? That's new.
Over the next hour Scott felt that he couldn't walk anymore, he told Stiles he's taking a break and sat near the main stage. He sat down and closed his eyes and groaned loudly.
"Having fun?" A voice near him asked.
Scott opened his eyes and looked to his right to a Wonder Woman sitting close to him. He took in the brunette hair, wide but tired smile and amazing brown eyes, which seem to be laughing at him in the moment.
"You have no idea," Scott replied back tiredly.
She chuckled and took a bottle of water from her side and passed it him. Scott took it with a smile.
"Thanks," Scott said.
"You're welcome. Seems like you needed it," Wonder Woman answered.
Scott took a big gulp of water and gave it back but she shook her head. "All yours."
"How did you get roped into dressing up as Batman?" She inquired curiously.
"My best friend," Scott answered.
She laughed and tilted her head back. She even have an amazing laugh, Scott thought.
"Yeah, me too," she answered back.
"I have no interest what so ever. But she said if I go so are you," she continued.
Scott laughed. "Though you made a pretty good Wonder Woman."
"Thanks, you're not bad yourself," she returned back.
They smiled at each other, Scott pushed his hand forward.
"Scott McCall, Batman," he introduced himself.
"Malia Hale, Wonder Woman," she replied.
As they shook hands, Scott felt a tingly feeling in his chest. They were still holding each other's hand when Lydia walked towards them.
"Oh my God, am so exhausting," she grumbled as she sat on the chair beside Malia. They dropped their hands.
"How's your fishing?" Malia asked. Scott listened with interested.
Lydia groaned. "Not so great. Was thinking we can still hit a few bars in our costumes before going home," Lydia suggested.
"That sounds like fun," Scott politely injected.
Lydia stared at him then at Malia.
Malia chuckled and introduced them.
"Lydia Martin meet Scott McCall. Scott McCall meet Lydia Martin."
They shook hands. "Badass costume you've got," Lydia said.
"Thanks, likewise," Scott replied.
"So what do you say? We blow this joint?" Lydia asked Malia.
Malia looked at her and gave a side look at Scott.
"Umm…."
"You can come with us if you want," Lydia said to Scott. Malia looked at Lydia with wide eyes, Lydia shrugged back.
"Thanks for the offer but am waiting for my friend," Scott said. In the back of his mind he was thinking that he is losing his only chance to know Malia.
"Dude, this place is amazing!" Stiles shouted as he ran up to them.
"Hela gave me her number and I kissed a Cat woman, it was hot," Stiles said as he started to hopped.
Scott chuckled. "You're ok?"
"Dude, am fine. Now there's more girls here that dying to meet my best friend Batman. So come up get up!" Stiles exclaimed.
Lydia snorted loudly to grabbed Stiles attention away from Scott. He looked at her with a keen interested. He took in her pointy ears to her strawberry hair and yellow boots. He quickly stopped hopping and stood right in front of her. His hands on his hip as he gave her a small smile.
"What's up Batgirl?" He asked.
Lydia laughed out and slapped her thighs. Malia looked at her with concerned, this is a new reaction.
Stiles quickly covered his surprise with a nod of his head.
"Oh, so original," Lydia commented. Stiles dropped his hands.
"Excuse me?" He questioned.
"Dressing up as Nightwing to get attention, because he was a ladies' man, please," Lydia replied.
Stiles had a gleam in his eyes as he thought of a response.
"Well it's working since I've got a Batgirl laughing out of my hands," he answered back smoothly.
"Not a chance in hell," Lydia smirked as she sat back in her chair and gave him a look.
"Stiles meet Lydia and Malia," Scott introduced, fearing that Stiles will say something idiotic next.
"And we are out of here," Lydia announced as she stood up with Malia.
"You're going already?" Stiles asked.
"Yeah, this place is getting a bit boring so we are going to a bar down the street," Lydia replied. Malia stood behind her with her eyes on Scott.
"You can come if you want….," Malia said to Scott.
"Can I come with?" Stiles asked.
"What about Hela, remember you have her number," Scott asked. His mind already made up to follow them and get to know Malia more.
Stiles got a paper out of his pocket and tore the paper into piece and innocently said, "What Hela?"
Lydia groaned and turned her back, walking towards the exit with Malia behind her. Malia looked back and gave a small smile at Scott.
Stiles grabbed his shoulder. "Dude, you and Wonder Woman? How awesome is this? We should do this next year again." He smiled at the prospect of the future.
Scott thought that next year will be different.
And it was, Scott attended the Comic Con as Captain America with Malia by his side as Black Widow with a red wig. For Stiles and Lydia? He's still trying to gain Lydia's attention with no success. But secretly, he thinks Lydia is warming to him. As he attended as Spiderman and Lydia as MJ.
