What's it gonna take to strike a spark?

[RP with original_slayer]

It had been a while since Kon had gone on a date. If that's what this was. He'd like it to be one, but he wasn't sure if that was what Buffy needed. So if he was lucky? It could turn into something. Otherwise, well, hopefully he could at least make her smile. Have a night where she didn't regret being alive. He was Superboy. If he couldn't make a woman feel good, what was the point of even being a superhero? Besides saving lives and all that. That was probably good.

He'd combed his hair and made sure he looked good, but picking out an outfit was easy. He was Superboy, after all. He pulled on a fresh S-shield t-shirt. His costume was recognizable, and so much more comfortable and stylish than spandex.

As an after thought, he grabbed a button-down shirt to wear over his normal t-shirt. If he needed to, he could close it and be that much less recognizable.

Time to fly. He grabbed the flowers he'd picked up and took off. A little while later, he arrived at the address Buffy had given him. He glanced at his watch. Three minutes early. Perfect.

"Well, color me flattered," she grinned, wiggling her feet a bit. "Carrying me through the sky like I'm some damsel in distress, just to go on a date? That's one I've never gotten before. Definitely memorable."

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

"Kind of hoping to avoid the distress this time." Since it happened on far too many dates. It was like danger waited to strike just when he was having a good time sometimes. Kon smiled at her. "What's the fun of having all these powers if I don't show off sometimes, you know?"

[iwascomplete.livejournal.com]

"Oh, believe me. I can handle myself. No distress here." Buffy grinned and kicked her feet a little. "I wish I could show mine off, but they're really not much to holler about. I just kick stuff and stab things, all that."

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

"Eh, my best friend's got zero powers and he still manages to kick my ass pretty consistently when we spar." Kon shrugged. She seemed less worried about the heights, and pretty happy. Both good signs! "So you've got powers?"

[iwascomplete.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I'm The Slayer, after all. Gotta bunch of them, actually. Superhuman strength, speed, agility.. reflexes.. I can heal really quickly, I'm kinda hard to knock off my feet.. Sometimes I have precognitive dreams! It's all fun and good, I guess." She smiled and wiggled a bit. "You're comfy."

SORRY FOR THE EPIC TAGGING FAIL.

Kon grinned. "Remind me to put that in my next personal add. 'Tall, attractive, has superpowers, and comfy.'" He pulled her a little closer in his arms. "That's gotta come in handy. You slay... vampires, right?"

<3 NO WORRIES LUV.

"Oh, so you're going to take me out on a date and turn around to post a personal ad? Thanks, Kon," she smirked up at him, winking slyly. Buffy was only teasing, but she wanted to let him know that she didn't plan to share if this went well.

"Vampires, demons, the occasional Hell-god..." Shrugging, she felt a bit of a chill and hugged a little closer. "It's not all it's cut out to be."

"Hmm, good point. I could add it to my resume instead." That was a good sign. He grinned. "We're almost in Hawaii, by the way."

[iwascomplete.livejournal.com]

"Better," she joked. Buffy smiled. "I'm excited. I can't believe my date is carrying me to Hawaii. And flying. I've had some interesting dates, but this definitely takes the cake."

Fudging time a little here, if that's okay...

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

"That's why they call me Superboy instead of... normal boy or something." Kon grinned. "I'm glad you're enjoying it. Man, I love Hawaii. You ever been before?"

<3 Do whatever, I'm chill! ^_^

[iwascomplete.livejournal.com]

"Nope, never been, not once." She grinned and leaned up to place a small kiss to his cheek. "Thanks for bringing me, Kon. I needed to get out of the house."

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

He smiled at the kiss. Going well and they hadn't even reached the shore! "It was the least I could do. You know. Superhero. Can't resist trying to cheer up a pretty lady." Though it was quickly approaching. Kon landed, still holding Buffy in his arms. "Are you ready for your first steps on island soil?"

[iwascomplete.livejournal.com]

"Is this where I do that whole one-leg kick and kissing thing? Or that dramatic 'my hero!' spiel?" Buffy smirked at him with a dash of snark in her voice. "Because I don't know if I'm cut out for the damsel crap. I kill vampires, you know." She grinned and loosened her grip on his neck. "Can't wait!"

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Kon laughed and set her down. "As much fun as it is saving damsels, it's way better when the girl can keep up with me. I'm thinking someone who fights vampires fits the bill." He wasn't really comfortable with the killing thing, but ethical arguments tended to ruin dates.

She got her footing fairly easily; the sand wasn't exactly the same, but she was a California girl born and raised. Beaches weren't foreign to her. "Well, then, consider yourself caught up with." Buffy grinned widely and looped an arm with his. "Where to?"

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

"Right over here." He led her to a small but classy looking diner looking out over the beach. The owner rushed out immediately to meet them.

"Superboy!" he shouted, glaring angrily. "You're going to bring some supervillain here again! Out! Out!"

"Not a supervillain, Jorge, just a date, promise!" Kon held up his hands. "Look, no one'll even recognize me!"

Jorge glared at both of them for a minute, then huffed back to the diner. "Fine. Come on, your table's free."

"Supervillain versus Superboy and Slayer. I don't think he's gonna have a problem," She spoke under her breath. Giving Kon a cute smirk, she placed her hands on her hips for a minute and nodded matter-of-factly. Dissolving into a mini chuckle-fit, she hooked her arm with his again and followed him in.

"This place is adorable."
