This came to me when Togusa mentioned being in American Comic Book getups. I tried to imagine Batou's… and came up with this. I really like the image, but I love Batou as it is. Garbing him just makes everything better. .

"All right, I'm diving. Batou, come with and back me up."

"Right," Batou said, sliding into a dive seat. "Ready?"

"Always," Motoko replied, and they both made the cyber-jump.

Materialization was slow, and when the major looked over to her partner, she saw why. "You look… interesting," she said, successfully keeping a straight face.

Batou blinked, an action that was suddenly possible due to his personified data. For all intents and purposes, he looked very similar to how he usually was. The only real difference in body structure was his eyes… for one thing, he had them. His hair was also a dark, rich brown instead of the usual silver, but it was still in its signature low ponytail. His dress though, was in an entirely different ball park. "I look like some… medival knight…" Batou said, plucking at the billowing white shirt and shifting his booted feet.

"Rennasaince, actually," the major replied, eyeing Batou. He was uncomfortably aware that this could be used for blackmail later as she smirked, "and I don't think you're a knight, thank goodness."

"Huh?"

She gave him a cat's smile, "If you were knight, we wouldn't be able to see anything under all the armor."

He glanced down and got the joke – the shirt had a v-neck split most of the way down his chest. Glowering up at her, an action she found far more amusing when he had eyes, he moved towards their target. "Come on," he said, "let's get this over with."

Motoko followed him, covering a grin as he muttered about forgetting to turn off his personified data.
