When someone approached Ken in the middle of taking a photo of a small group of kids with the bat crew, Sora figured that they needed an extra hand to speed up the main photo op.
For once, she was glad to not be the leading lady.
That line is ridiculously long!
Ken took the shot, but instead of walking off with the person who approached him, he stepped up to her.
"They need us at the backdrop."
She inwardly groaned. I keep counting my chickens too soon.
They walked over as Sora asked, "Did he say what for?"
"A kid asked for you," he said and was glad he was looking at her for he was able to see the genuine smile bloom on her face.
"Really?"
Ken chuckled. "Feels nice, huh?"

He knew the duo arrived when Patrick waved and said, "Hi Bat Girl!"
"Hi Patrick!"
Still he did not turn to look at her, but listened as the boy and Sora talked briefly.
"You guys should make a Batman show and then you can really be Batgirl."
Sora's tinkling laughter filled his ears. "That would be something!"
"Yeah, but for now, could you be in a photo with me?"
"Sure!" she chirruped.
"Great!" he grabbed her wrist and pulled her over to Leon, "With Dracula on one side and then you on the other, this will be an awesome photo!"
It was then that Leon decided to look. He withheld a smirk at her aghast expression, but she quickly covered it up with a forced smile. Her head turned to look at May who was autographing something nearby.
"Uh, what about May?"
"What about her?" Leon voicelessly intoned.
The comment had her eyes drifting over to his face without realizing it. Her lips parted to speak, to ask for clarification, when Ken's voice interrupted.
"Ok, ah, you're all kind of far away from each other could you—?"
Ken practically choked on the rest of his question as Leon's arm swiftly went around Sora's back and pulled her to lean against his side. She let out a little squeak at the sudden contact and her face lightly flushed upon feeling how warm Leon was, especially when his hand stayed along her hip.
Despite the frustration and irritation Leon had been feeling these past few days at her avoidance, when he witnessed her reaction, the feelings eased a little. When vanilla came into his nostrils, he felt his body relaxing for the first time in days.
"Er, ah, n-not that close."
Flustered at the position she was in, her hand pushed against his side in order to create some distance. He allowed her a very small amount of space. She could still feel some of his body heat radiating from him.
"Let's make scary faces," Patrick said as his fingers pretended to make claws.
So incredibly glad for the statement, Sora agreed and used that excuse to lean away from Leon. Ken counted off the seconds and when he was half a second away from pushing the button, Leon suddenly fake lunged over Sora and Patrick with his hands extending his blood red cape as he hissed and bared his fangs.
The motion scared the crap out of Sora, who had turned to look at what the heck Leon was doing when she heard him hissing. She let out a loud "eep!" as her hands went up in a defensive posture while Patrick looked up and declared the move as "wicked!" in a good way.
The flash of the camera let them know that the shot was during that moment.
