Oracle has posed:
West Chelsea Hill. As far as Gotham goes....it's a nice bit of the city. Babs has picked a wonderful bit of the city to live in. Naturally, given her home's around here somewhere, she's only a few....dozen steps from home. Today? All about the tank top and jeans attire, and all about taking in local culture. Which means, broadly? Art. Art and music for her

Pausing to give an artist a $5 bill, Babs tilts her head this way and that as she examines a painting, then steps back to get a look at it from further away. She's so absorbed in it her phone's in her pocket, she's not even paying attention to it.

Spider-Man has posed:
The phone was only buzzing to let Barbara know that Peter was close to where she was. He had texted her that he was almost there to their planned date/meeting ensemble. But! When he notices Barbara looking at one of the paintings that was done by a local artist, Peter arrives properly, arms wrapping around her waist to give her an affectioante embrace from behind.

"Hey Barb."

Peter was wearing just a T-shirt and jeans today, though since he's wearing just a T-shirt...Barb might realize he's very muscular for someone so nerdy and geeky. "How are you today?"

Oracle has posed:
When the arms go around her waist, Babs reacts on instict and does her best mule impression, kicking backwards with a leg and throwing an elbow that'd look right at home in an MMA cage. Babs has learned martial arts, and she's using that to fight back against her attacker....up until oh...oh shi...

That voice.


Oh crap. She just threw kicks and elbows at Peter...

That's the problem with Babs. She's so used to kicking butt that she's going on instinct. Though to bee bair she's not kicking and fighting once she hears Peter's voice. Instead she's wriggling to turn in his embrace to get a look at him. The net result is a wild mass of red hair flying, and she's left it untied because, really. She's too lazy to tie it back right now.

Spider-Man has posed:
Well, that was unexpected. But in a city like Gotham...Peter probably should've been much smarter about this whole thing. But his reactions? Impressive and suspicious at the same time.

He moves his hand downwards to stop the mule kick that was likely going for his groin, Barbara's awesome leg finding no purchase there.

The Elbow? Peter lets go of her and has to lean out of the way for that one. "Whoa! Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Peter lifts his hands then, in a 'please don't hit me' kind of way. Its not wimpy, but it is cautious towards a woman who kicks ass on a nightly basis.

"Ah....Heeeyy. You look fantastic today."

Oracle has posed:
Babs isn't shocked. More surprised really and a little suspicious. Still when she figures out who it is, she breaks into a grin. "You know sneaking up on me isn't a good idea" she says withh a nod looking over Peter. She reaches back and runs hands through her hair, "So what brings you here? Well besides me, I mean" Babs says with a wink and a nod.

She finally finishes turning and leans in to kiss his cheek. "See. I appreciate you coming to see me. Just...don't sneak up on me again. I know how to fight. Gotham's a dangerous place" Babs nods. "Do I need to put little bells on your hands and ankles like cats have on collars?" she asks, giggling all the while at the idea of Peter festooned with little cat bells.

Spider-Man has posed:
Peter chuckles just a little bit before he approaches her to close the distance, allowing her to kiss his cheek, an act of affection that he returns with a kiss of his own to her, hands reaching for her own. "Yeah, I'm sorry. That was really dumb of me. I guess I wanted to surprise you and wasn't thinking." Peter looks slightly ashamed of himself, but it doesn't stop him from enjoying her company.

"Won't do it again, I promise. Though uh, don't put a bell on me. I think that would make me look really silly. And well, I'm here because of you. Wanted to see you, ya know? Missed ya."

Pete was probably head over heels for Barbara, poor sod.

Oracle has posed:
Babs looks serious for a moment. "But that's the point. it'd let me know when you're sneaking up on me. Plus it'd be funny. Okay. Funnier if it happened to somebody we both agree on" she corrects. "I mean. It's just funnier, you know, ting ting ting, oh, John Doe's sneaking again" she says looking pleased and a little too entertained by this idea.

"So you wanted to see me?" she asks, not putting up a fight when he reaches for her hands. Insteadd her fingers reach to twine with his. Awwww....

So are you an art fan?" she asks looking genuinely curious. hey, may as well grill her guy about things like this

Spider-Man has posed:
Peter's fingers intertwine with Barbara's own and he gives them a firm squeeze as he closes the distance between them until they are forehead to forehead. "Well...yeah, you know? I always want to see you, because you kind of made my life way better than it was before. You make me happy." He smiles, but then he chuckles when she further speaks of the John Doe bell situation.

"True. Maybe we can put bells on that one girl who interrupted us that one time, yeah? I think that might be funny."

But then he's looking into her eyes with a smile at her question. "Of course I am. I'm dating a work of art." awwww. He flirts with her shamelessly now and has no problem telling her, or anyone, that she's amazing.

Speaking of...he leans forward, trying to claim a kiss on her lips if she allows.

Oracle has posed:
Babs doesn't fight it. She does however have a leg ready to kick. Not that she does, instead she's not fighting the kiss at all, her arms around Peter. Babs didn't expect a PDA today. She doesn't really care mind. Mostly since Babs is, if anything, smart and able to deal with this!

Spider-Man has posed:
Peter indulges in the kiss for just a little bit. Its not lustful or overly passionate, but its definitely a display of affection to A: get the jocks off her tail and B: Kiss his girl and tell her how he feels about her through action. His arms wrap around Barbara's waist to hold her close to him.

Eventually, after a few moments, he pulls away, perhaps dragging her bottom lip just a little bit to be exciting in a non-painful way. "Wow." He says with a smile to her. "We...should absolutely do that more often." He chuckles nervously.

Oracle has posed:
"Do what now? Almost get kicked by me thenkissed?" she asks looking a little out of breath. Babs grins. "Oh we have to though. But. But. Art!" she says doing her best to put her attention back to the art and...oh snap she's still holding hands. That's not a bad thing!

Spider-Man has posed:
Peter chuckles to her before he leans forward to kiss her again, except with a bit more passion. Its brief though, beofre he pulls away. "Show me some of the art you were looking at." Hand still entwined with hers, he gives her a playful nudge with his shoulder as if he's encouraging her to share her passion with him. "Which one is your favorite?"
