"I have had my fill of guys who think they're super when they're so clearly not. I am over that phase," Cordelia Chase fumed as she pushed her way out of the annual Gotham Halloween Masquerade ball.
She'd dressed up as a princess and her date - that louse - had dressed up like a clown. Clowns weren't cute! Clowns weren't sexy! They were creepy and there was no way that extra creepy creep was going to be getting in her pants any time soon if he thought that being a clown was a good costume choice. It wasn't even a fricken' Halloween party - it was a Masquerade Ball! A ball implied fancy smancy, not a lame-o costume! She was so lost in her thoughts, she barely noticed the man she collided with.
"Holy crap," Cordelia groaned, her purse slipping from her fingers, clattering against the marble floor. The man behind the simple velvet mask grinned at her, and she was sure she was gonna be a pile of goo. She stood there awkwardly as he bent and picked up her purse.
"I think you dropped this," the man grinned.
"Uh-uh," Cordelia blinked a few times before she realized he was holding her purse out to her. "Thank you - um - "
"Bruce," Bruce's smile grew. "You're quite welcome," Bruce leaned in and spoke quietly. "This is the part where you give me your name."
Something about his cockiness sparked the orignial shock of him off, and Cordelia felt the Queen C of old pop through. She smirked back at him.
"I'm not sure if I really want to," Cordelia leaned in closer, her eyes locked on his. "I'm not sure what you'll do with it." She stepped around him, more confident than she had felt in years.
