It's a beautiful night out in space. Then again, every day and night .. is a beautiful night. The Legion's cruiser is currently circling Earth's orbit lazily. Drake had invited Rave up so that they can spend some time on the deck, watching the stars and planets that they zip by.

A massive bucket of popcorn coated with butter is settled betweem them on one of the couches as he munches away, leaning in to bump his shoulder to hers. "So, we may not have amazing insurance or anything, but the view is great and our uniforms are custom." He says teasingly to her, reaching into the bucket for another round of popcorn. "You gotta be getting bored of Earth by now, right?"

Rave has posed:
It was still strange, up in space and well away from the earth. Of course, being up in orbit offers glowing light from the sun in such a potent dose she was practically glowing. It's a giddy little thrill for the bluenette, like a constant sugar-rush...so she'd have to move away from the windows now and then.

"I mean," she muses, tossing a handful into her mouth, "there are some awesome places on Earth, but I -do- have some ideas for a uniform. That and...it'd be kinda cool to run on another world."

Slipstream has posed:
"Wait until you run on a world with low gravity. Us speedsters just take off like rockets. Vroom! Pow!" Drake says as he throws a piece of popcorn into the air, then catches it in his mouth with a chomp. "And, we'd get to spend more time together also, which is at least a bonus for me." He says with a teasing grin, leaning in to nip at her shoulder for a quick kiss. "Even if you just hung out with us part time, I think we could really use you on some of these missions. I'm fast, but I'm not as fast as you."

Hopping to his feet, he makes his way over to one of the large windows to stare out into the deep cold space. "The things I've seen has been crazy and the fact we can get there in hours with this beast of a ride is also incredible." He glances over at her, brows raising. "So? How 'bout it? You wanna ride with the Legion of Superheroes?"

Rave has posed:
"Yeesh, I'd better be careful. Light speed risks a little lauch into orbit. I don't think I'm 'space proof' after all." Rave leans back, shrugging her shoulders after the kiss and then giving a little laugh. "But, y'know, I'm always up for a challenge, a bit of fun...and how many other people would have photos of alien worlds on their social media? It'd make for one heck of a selfie!"

A little tilt of her head, she watches him move towards the window. "Why not?"

Slipstream has posed:
"Our suits can protect us from outerspace. They're thirty-first century material." Drake says as he plucks at his uniform. "Also, once you are sworn in officially, you get your flight ring, so then it makes flying easier in space, or anywhere. And we get universal translators." He says with a grin over towards her, turning around to lean against the window.

"I think you'd love this challenge. We get to team up with aliens all the time to fight even bigger aliens." He sways side to side a bit as if he was dancing, followed by giving her a grin. "Also, some of the team is obsessed with The Bachelor. They think Earth television is terrible but they can't stop watching it."

"Should I give you a rose by the way?"

Rave has posed:
"Flight ring?" she repeats, shaking her head. "Future and alien tech is super cool!" Just because the girl was basically a living ball of neon energy doesn't mean that she couldn't geek out a little. His sidelong comment about reality TV shows however? That earns a little laugh and a wave of her hand. "I'm not big on roses...or pageants. Had enough of that sort of thing as a kid."

Slipstream has posed:
"So, do I just leave a trail of popcorn instead?" Drake says with a grin as his brows lift upwards in amusement. "I really do like you, Rave. You make me feel all kinda doofy when I'm around you, especially when we're going into action together. I haven't felt this way in awhile. Not for the longest of times."

He gives a twist of his flight ring along his finger as he starts to float in mid-air, spreading out his arms and legs and twirls around a few times. "See! Pretty cool, huh? You wanna try it?"
