---

Omnis has posed:
It was kind of weird for her in every way. She really hadn't had a dating life thanks to her raising and general oddness of her powers. Now, she saw an opportunity to not only meet more heroines but lso go on a date. However, she really never pictured one of her first real dates being on a rooftop in downtown Gotham at midnight. She really expected anything else. Now, she's standing here in her costume as Omnis, looking around slowly and then considering, "Really..." She looks at her phone and then looks up, "I mean...really." She sighs and then shakes her head. Even as a clocktower in the distance tolls midnight, she shakes her head slowly.

Batwoman has posed:
Kate Kane was admittedly a bit skeptical about an 'all superhero' dating site that was 'authenticated', no less. Which is why she proposed, through the intermediary, a neutral meeting on a rooftop. And she arrives early, of course. In fact, she waits for Omnis to check her phone and shake her head before making her presence known. The black and red shape separates from the shadow of a chimney overhang on the roof, the movement hitting the blonde's peripheral vision. The red cape flutters, and Batwoman offers a wide smile. "Sorry for the evasiveness, but I didn't last this long in the business by being careless." Her costume voice is usually full of gravel, but tonight it's more... husky.

Omnis has posed:
A blink as she hears the voice and sees something. She stares in surprise at Kate and then looks around before blinking, "How'd you..." She then looks down and considers, "Of course you are..." She then blinks a little, "So, umm, Batwoman, then." She nods her head a little and then takes a step toward her, smiling some, "I understand. I'm Omnis." she nods her head, "It's good to meet you." She nods, trying to switch gears from surprised to a little more mature as she walks a little closer, "I can't say this isn't a surprise." She nods her head as she looks over Batwoman a moment before looking back up, "Unexpected but not unwanted."

Batwoman has posed:
Kate Kane chuckles softly at the reaction, stepping slowly closer. "Trade secret." she replies lightly. And as if suddenly aware of the scrutiny that is likely less than... professional... her steps become a bit more playful. Slower. More deliberate. "Omnis? Not ringing any bells over here, I'm afraid. Then again, I don't get out of Gotham much." At least not as Batwoman. "I honestly wasn't sure how this thing would work, since most of us have at least one face we don't like to share."

Omnis has posed:
A shift of her eyes and she shrugs, "Well, I didn't know how it'd work either. I really didn't think..." She looks over at the city and then back at Kate, "Should have guessed it was someone like yourself though." She nods her head and then she frowns some, "And yeah, I'm not exactly super well known yet but then I guess you probably already saw how I arrived." She had actually left from a rooftop about a block away to this spot, "Right?" She nods her head, "So, I assure you I am a superhero and not just some weirdo who climbed up here." She smiles as she puts a hand on her hip and shifts her weight to one leg. She's flexing, yes, but then again this is sort of a date.

Batwoman has posed:
Batwoman's red lips pull back into a wide smile, the mask giving her face and almost beak-like visage. "I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, in any case." she offers. Step, sway. Step, sway. Step. And now the redhead in the tight, black costume is within the blonde's personal space. "So you didn't expect that Batwoman would be a skirt-chaser. I'll admit that I posted the ad partially to test the system." Pause. "But also partially because I'm bad at relationships, and I -am- a skirt-chaser."

Omnis has posed:
A slight blush paints her cheeks, hard to see through the mask but not invisible. She looks up at Batwoman, her eyes looking at the woman's whited out eyes. At this range, Kate can feel the air is cool. Cooler than before. It's almost seeming to radiate from the girl as she stares before she takes a slight step back with her right foot and her lips part ever so slightly. Her teeth slide along teeth as she does her best to stay calm, "Well, honestly, it is a surprise but the..." She looks away and to the right for a moemnt before looking back to Batwoman, "I mean, even a super site like that, who really expects to run into /the/ Batwoman?"

Batwoman has posed:
"I like to think I'm full of surprises." Batwoman replies back. She eases a bit closer, nodding slowly. "I feel a bit of a chill. Is that you?" she asks casually. "I promise that I won't bite. So tell me, Omnis. What were you expecting, exactly? Aside from a cute redhead, that is."

Omnis has posed:
A smile as she doesn't step back this time, shifting a little forward. She bites her lip slightly before looking up to Kate, "Well, part of me had no idea. I knew that you were a redhead. I knew Batgirl was but I thought..." She looks back to Kate, "...how likley would it be taht they'd be the one to show up." She then looks down, kinda resting her eyes on Kate's chest a moment but as the eyes come back up, it was clear she was more looking down than looking at, "Part of me thought that some woman in a store bought suit might come walking out." She smiles a little wider and then she blinks, "Oh and yes." She raises up a hand, "That cold is me." She looks from her hand to Kate and offers it, "Warm to the touch, cold all around. It's part of who I am."

Batwoman has posed:
"I know Batgirl as well, but I promise you that we're not the same person." the older female Bat replies. "If you still think I'm some woman in cosplay outfit, I could jump off the side of the building." she offers. The smile beomes a soft chuckle, then. "Warm to touch, cold all around. Not sure that would work as a profile tag-line, Omnis."

Omnis has posed:
A chuckle and then she looks to the building's side, "I think maybe that outfit is a bit too impressive to be from a store." She then looks down, "Well, that's kinda why I am not putting it on my profile." She smirks as she looks up, "Hope it doesn't run you off. I can tone it down but I can't really get rid of it." She shrugs and looks up, "Still, what were you expecting?"

Batwoman has posed:
The black fabric is certainly unusual, especially the liquid sheen when it catches the light just so. Some sort of coating, no doubt. Batwoman shakes her head, adding a light shrug that flutters the red cape. "What was I expecting? I'm honestly not sure, but I'm pleased so far. Pretty blonde. Nice smile. Costume is a bit bright for me, but it suits you rather well. Fits well, too." Grin. "Now that we're both pretty comfortable that this isn't some sort of setup, you want to get coffee or something. Be a bit problematic in costume, of course."

Omnis has posed:
A hmm and then she looks to the side, "I suppose that'd be good." She looks up to her and then looks at her own costume, "True." She nods her head, "I always keep a change." She nods her head and looks over at Batwoman a moment and then hmms, "Though, I suppose that'd mean we'd need to meet each other in more than just costume." She nods her head and then she shrugs, "I don't mind, I haven't a lot to hide. What about you?"

Batwoman has posed:
Batwoman considers for a moment, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. "You should know that my 'secret' face is a pretty famous one." she offers. "There's a coffee shop in Old Gotham. Let's meet there in, say, an hour?" She gives the address as well. "Some of us can't fly, and I do want to primp a little."

Omnis has posed:
A blink and then she considers, "An hour..." She looks to the side and then nods, "Yeah, I can do an hour." She grins, "That'll give me time to get cleaned up as well." She nods. A big part of her excited, her wallet already crying as she gets an idea. Either way, she looks to Kate and then looks to the side of the building, looking down and nodding, "Meet you there." She then looks back with a smile.

Batwoman has posed:
Batwoman returns the nod, watching Omnis before returning the grin as well. It only takes a moment for the blonde to look away, and then Batwoman is just... gone. No sound, no words. Nothing. Gone. She might be hiding somewhere on the roof, waiting for the other woman to leave, or she might have just lept off of the building.

Trade secret.

In forty-seven minutes there's a red, 1953 Porche 550 Spyder parked outside a quiet little coffee shop in Old Gotham. Inside, at a booth near the back, sits Gotham socialite Kate Kane in a pair of sleek, black calf-length pants and a red camisole. Coincidence on the coloring?

Omnis has posed:
She had gone to find a store that was open late. She ended up settling on a big box store. She grabbed a new blue polo shirt that is drawn tight across her form. She had bought a pair of tight new blue jeans, nicer than any she owns so far. She went all out. Spent a full 40 dollars on them. She kept her red leather belt on for it. A pair of black boots finish her outfit, however, when she arrives she stares at the car out front and blinks several times. She seems unclear as to what she is getting herself into. Either way, she walks inside and looks around for a minute before she spots the one pale redhead in the whole place and starts toward the booth and smiles upon arrival, "Hey." She nods her head, "I was supposed to meet a cute redhead here." She nods her head, "Seen her?"

Batwoman has posed:
    Kate was watching for a blonde, of course, guessing that Omnis didn't opt for a wig (like Batwoman). Kate's hair is red, of course, but worn in a bob rather than a tumble of curls. She extends a shapely leg, rolling the ankle lazily as she replies with a smile. "No, but if you want to join me we can watch for her together." she offers. The flats she's wearing are designer label, and there's no coincidence that the lipstick is all Batwoman. "I'm Kate."

Omnis has posed:
That leg extension is not missed. She settles into the booth, looking over her face before saying, "And I'm Kally." She nods her head as she turns her head to look outside again and then look back, "That your car outside?" She asks and hmms as she tilts her head, "It's nice." She chuckles and nods her head before she reaches over to grab the small menu, "If my date doesn't show up, you can take her place." She nods and winks.

Batwoman has posed:
Kate Kane tilts her head, the smile becoming coy. "Well I -did- say that I was a socialite." she replies. "It's one of my cars." Taking a menu as well, Kate opens it while her gaze remains on Kally. "As it happens, I'm waiting for someone as well. Pretty blonde. Cool exterior, but warm to touch."

Omnis has posed:
A smile is given in return as she nods her head, "You did, I suppose." She nods again, "Though, I hardly expected that level of socialite." She nods her head even as the whole place grows just a bit colder. It only lasts a moment though the barista looks up with a blink of confusion. She then looks over at the pair before shrugging as the air begins to return to normal, "Well, I am at least warm. I can be cool, too, though." She nods her head as she takes a breath and then looks down, "So, shall we order some coffee?" She asks and then raises a hand to wave down the barista before looking to Kate, "If you are nice I'll show you my ride." She nods and waggles a brow, "It's a ten speed."

Batwoman has posed:
Kate Kane's nostrils twitch as the chill seeps from Kally, her expression remaining mostly neutral. Except for the coy twitch of her upper lip, that is. "So you said." she replies. "Hopefully your being cool doesn't extend past the physical." Putting the menu away, she laughs at the mention of the ten speed. "Tell you what, Kally. I'll give you a ride if you return the favor."

Omnis has posed:
A smile, "Sounds like a plan." She nods her head as she then looks over at the barista. She orders a latte with caramel. She then looks over at Kate, awaiting her order. Once finished, she looks back to Kate and leans forward, "So, what is a woman like you doing with such an interesting night life?"

Batwoman has posed:
Kate Kane orders a double espresso. Black. And once the barista starts working on the order she leans forward, elbows lightly touching the table's edge. Shrugging, she replies. "You've read the papers, I'm sure. Daddy's a retired Colonel. Step-mother is an heiress. West Point. Dishonorable discharge. Partying. Drug use. One night stands." She pauses, easing back a little. "I was mugged one night. Almost. Batman was in the neighborhood, and I suddenly had a purpose."

Omnis has posed:
A blush and she looks to the side, "I uh..." She looks back, "I had a bit of an interesting upbringing and on the west coast." She shrugs, "I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way but yeah, I have heard of you but only sorta." She nods her head, "I really don't follow such things." She looks down and then up, "I do hope that the one night stand portion of things is over..." She nods her head and then looks around the table a little at one of those legs, "Though, I can't say it would be the worst thing to happen to me..."

Batwoman has posed:
Kate Kane smiles wryly, nodding. "That's actually refreshing to hear, Kally. I'm used to having my reputation preceed me." Kate looks down at her hands, then, lacing her fingers together. The nails are short, for practical reasons with a professional manicure. She extends her long legs again. "I can't make any promises, other than I'll be honest with you. I am who I am, and I've stopped trying to change that a long time ago."

Omnis has posed:
A look over at the barista a moment and then she looks back, "I guess that's all I can ask." She nods her head, "We all have our quirks." She smiles before she looks down at her hands a moment as she places tehm on the table and then looks up again, "Well, I have two dads who are, well, interesting. I was home schooled and then I ran away, basically." She shrugs, "Now I'm a delivery girl and a heroine." She nods her head, "Not much else to say. I certainly didn't do a lot of partying."

Batwoman has posed:
Kate Kane looks up from her hands to Kally's eyes, the smile warming. "Can't choose our family." she replies. "And you wouldn't be the first runaway to choose the hero business as a side job." Reaching out, she takes Kally's hands in her own. "This can be as public or as private as you want. No partying required."

Omnis has posed:
A smile as the hand is taken and she looks up, "I'd like private...to start with." She chuckles, "I really would prefer not to have my parents looking for me right away." She nods her head as she nods her head, "I don't want to deal with my family right away." She nods her head, "Either way..." She reaches out and takes the coffee with a smile, thanking the girl before looking back to Kate, "I am up for getting to know you better."

Batwoman has posed:
Kate Kane's expression goes wry once more and she nods. "Of course." she replies. Releasing Kally's hands after a brief squeeze, Kate takes her own coffee and raises it to sip as well. Slowly, watching the blonde over the rim of her cup. "Let's trade numbers, and I'll talk you through a -discreet- way to get into the Kane Building." She pauses, then adds. "Believe it or not, I can be discreet when I want to be. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better as well."
