Date Night
*Virgil and Richie*
After the events that took place the night before, Virgil is looking forward to his date with Teresa this evening. While excited, Virgil somewhat feels nervous about how things could go for all knew Teresa might be setting him up for a trap. Then again she the way she acted toward him seem genuine, and without Ebon ordering her around, she's free to make her own decisions. Of course, it still sucks that he isn't entirely comfortable revealing his self to her, but Virgil hopes that tonight will help ease his concerns.
"Bro I swear if you don't stop pacing, you will be fine. Just pull the good old static charm, and Teresa will be all over you." His best friend and partner, Richie, calls out, snapping Virgil out his thoughts.
Virgil sighs and turns his attention towards Richie. "You know it's not that simple. One mistake and I could accidentally push Teresa back to the old Talon. Plus, it doesn't help that I am starting to have growing feelings for the pretty bird. Why do I feel like I'm ripping that off from someone?"
Richie chuckles before giving his friend a pep talk. "Dude, you got to stop overthinking on the negative and go with the flow. If you were able to take on members of the Justice League, then you surely can go out there and have a successful date."
Virgil thinks over Richie's word, and after realizes he is right. As Static, Virgil took on all obstacles, not letting fear get the best to him. Now he needs to apply that drive to his civilian life. "Yeah, I guess you have a point man."
"I know, and that's why I am the brains of the team." Richie jokes cause the two to burst out laughing at each other. Once they calm down, Richie places a hand on his friend's shoulder and tells him, "You got this Virgil. After everything you have been through as Static, you deserve some happiness for once."
"Appreciate it, but the same goes to you bro," Virgil responds, appreciating the support from his longtime friend.
"Now go out there and put a shock in a lucky girl's system." Richie cheers only for Virgil to send a non-serious glare.
"Just for that, I'm suing you for stealing my line." Richie chuckles as Virgil finishes getting ready for his date.
* Sometime later*
After much-needed encouragement, Virgil as Static arrives at Teresa to take her on their outing. A part of him still feels wrong that instead of being respectful and meet the woman of the hour by knocking on the front door even though they agree to have Virgil pick her up from her room since Teresa doesn't know who is he behind the mask.
"Maybe someday I can meet her parents outside of costume like a gentleman would do, that is, if she decided to reestablish a relationship with them." Static thinks to himself before knocking on his date's window.
The door opens with Static ready to speak until the sight in front of him causes him to go speechless and enter a trance. He already found Teresa attractive when he first had seen her in her human form, the tight light purple dress that shows off her curves nicely along with the dark demi jacket to go along with her attire adds on to her sexiness.
"It's about time you made it Sparky; I was starting to think you were other guys all talk but no action." Teresa jokes, attempting to give him a hard time.
However, Static remains voiceless as he continues to gaze at the beauty in front of him is prompting Teresa to smirk and point towards his mouth saying, "You might want to cover your mouth unless you want to shock yourself with your drool."
Virgil blinks a few times before coming back to reality. He smiles shyly before apologizing. "Sorry about that, but you look breath-taking, which you probably can tell by the effect you just had on me."
Teresa instantly blushes from his comment and start to feel warm inside, something that she hasn't felt in a long time. "You think so?" She asks in a soft tone.
"I know so." Static answers, gaining his confidence back quickly.
Teresa, at the same time, recovers from her girly moment with a scoff before asking, "So Static, where are you taking me tonight?"
Static mentally chuckles at her attempt to revert to her "hard to get" persona. "Now, what's the fun in telling you when you can be surprised? Besides, it is the responsibility of the superhero to make sure the lucky lady has a wonderful time."
"Lucky lady huh?" Teresa raises an eyebrow and folds her arm coolly.
"Yep, let me show." Static shocks Teresa by scooping her into his arms in a bridal position, causing her to slightly squeal with joy before wrapping her arms around his neck, and sets out to their destination.
Static takes them to a fancy restaurant call Minervas; at one point, he stopped a robbery saving the owner in the process, where he's able to receive VIP treatment in the form of having a private section. Static books the booth for mostly Teresa's safety, more so her civilian life despite being able to handle her own in a fight without her Talon abilities.
Regardless Teresa found herself enjoying her evening with Static, something she honestly never thought would happen in her life. As she got to know the hero, Teresa slowly opens herself up to him, unlike her time with Ebon, who never care for her and only used her for his personal goals. With Static, he genuinely shows interest in what she shares and, at times, gets her to chuckle at his jokes. Plus, he earns kudos points for taking her to Minervas and getting the VIP treatment.
For Static, if you told him a few years ago that he will take Talon out for dinner, he more than likely laugh and call you crazy. Now he wishes the night would never end as he grows more comfortable getting to know Teresa. One of the critical attribute that Static looks for when it comes to relationships is does he have chemistry with the girl, so with Teresa the two bounce off each other keeping the conversation going and not having a dull moment between them. Although appearances do help as Static at times stops himself from staring at her lips and not go into deep thought on how he wants to kiss those soft lips again for dessert could come later.
During their dinner, Static speaks up and asks Teresa, "So have you put any more thought into plans now that you're free from the brotherhood?"
Teresa already has her answer, for that has been on top of her mind. "Well, a certain guy full of electricity offer me a deal to join him on his crazy crusade in fighting crime, so I'm considering signing up for the cause," Teresa answers playfully with Static catching on to the beginning of her witty talk.
"In my opinion, that seems like a deal worth talking to me." Static suggests in a smooth matter.
Teresa rolls her eyes amusement. "Of course you would say that."
"What can I say? Plus, you would need some training as a junior sidekick before you rise in my ranks." Static shrugs, not prepare for the so call innocent expression to appear from Teresa.
"Aww, but I was hoping that my qualifications would have me start as a partner." Teresa shifts her voice like a sexy schoolgirl and pouts her lips in the process.
Slightly tugging on his collar, Static attempts to keep his composure saying, "Maybe you can show me those skills that back your claims in person to persuade me otherwise."
It takes all that Teresa has to not break character from thinking how cute Sparky looks from her throwing him off. "Possibly, you sure you can handle what I can bring to the table?"
"I certainly hope so." Static earns a giggle from Teresa from that response with the daring continuing as dessert comes out in the form of chocolate cake and ice cream. After finishing up their sweet, Static escorts Teresa back home, making sure to take a slow detour to enjoy as much time together as they can.
When they finally arrive, Teresa wraps her arms affectionately around Static and says in a sincere tone, "Thanks for taking me out, Sparky, you sure know to show a girl a great time." Tonight was the first time in a while where someone made Teresa feel special, and it was all thanks to her former adversary who she now has a crush on.
For once, Static goes on an auspicious date despite it being someone he fought in the past. He softly around his arms around Teresa's waist and tells her, "Your welcome, but I should be thanking you for giving me a memorable night."
Gazing into each other eyes, Teresa and Static lean in and kiss each other gently with Teresa pulling his body closer to deepen the kiss. Once they separated their lips, the new young couple keeps their foreheads touching as content smiles form on their faces.
"So, I guess it goodnight then?" Static sadly breaks the silence first, not wanting the moment to end.
Teresa, feeling the same way, answers, saying, "For now yes, but we have many nights to look forward to so no cheer up boyfriend. Until then, I do expect a phone call when you get home."
Being call boyfriend by Teresa lifts Static's spirits back up for in a way it makes their new relationship official. "Sounds like a plan mami."
Then just as Static begins to takes a few steps back to leave, Teresa pulls him back towards her to give him one last hot kiss making him think that he's floating in the sky. "Just in case you forget. Bye Sparky." Teresa said after ending the kiss with a sly smirk on her face and closes the window as she enters her room.
Static, still in the zone from the last kiss, somehow manages to wave at her as she disappears into her room. After a few more minutes of being lost in a trance, Static makes his way home thinking how he's going to need a cold shower but mutters softly, "Totally worth it."
AN: Bet you weren't expecting an update here. I didn't think I would go back and add another part here since it was supposed to be just a one-shot. Not sure if I will stretch this story out, but I couldn't help myself since I feel I came up with the idea of the Virgil x Talon pairing and feel that I could go further considering I don't have a lot of Static content written yet. Depending on the number of reviews, I made add more chapters if I feel up for it; if not, at least you guys got some update.
