Dancing Queens
Enough time had passed since Felicity and Nika's last date. This time, she was hoping on nothing villainous happening when she dragged Nika out of the office for a night of dancing.
Maybe dancing will provide all of the action that we need tonight and no villains will surprise us.
Yeah. Right.
She shook her head and smoothed down the skirt of her obnoxiously sparkly dress. She couldn't help it, though. The cat in Felicity Thompson liked a little sparkle. She reached up and adjusted an earring.
Tucking her clutch - filled with some requisite weaponry - under her arm, Felicity strode out of her lab and towards Nika's office. She didn't bother knocking on the door, though. What would Nika be doing in there anyway? Working? Napping? Nothing else.
She slunk into the room and posed in the doorway, a smile curving her lacquered lips upwards. "Well, well. Looks like someone needs a break."

She nodded as the car pulled up to the club. "Good, then this will be fun for you. I hear of girls who do this on a regular basis and get kind of bored with it." She slid out of the car and held her hand out to Nika. "We're on the list, so there should be no issue getting in." Not that there would have been regardless, the way these two looked, but as adventurous as Felicity was, for some things she liked a little planning and protection.

"I wouldn't have time to do this regularly. Or the inclination without the right company." She took the offered hand and got out of the car. She may have climbed out and straightened to a stand a little closer to Felicity than was possibly needed. The distance may have been wanted, however.
"Hmm."

"Well, no, you do have a lot on your plate. Which is why I figured you needed this night out." She squeezed Nika's hand warmly and sidled up to her just enough. "Relax. I promise I won't bite you tonight."

She looked back up to Felicity's blue eyes. Which oddly reminded her she hadn't given her date a proper greeting. So, Nika leaned in for a quick kiss. "Not even a nibble, huh?"

She grinned up at the bouncer - an impossibly beautiful, well-built man who looked more like a Greek demigod than he did a bouncer. But his looks belied his strength and power. That was how Venus did things, of course. Power through beauty and all that.
She nodded at him and they let the two women into the club.
The inside of Anthemusa was rich, luxurious, and utterly modern. It seemed bright inside, warm and cozy, not at all like most nightclubs. Despite the crowd, one wouldn't feel crushed or lost within it. Venus' wards over the place were strong indeed.
Felicity grinned and went straight for the bar. "I'll have a Bijou," she said. "And my friend will have...?" she turned to Nika, questioningly.

Nika blinked at Felicity and then at the bartender. "In America. Right. I'll have a Cinderella." Which sounded slightly more classy than a Brown Pelican or a Flying Fairbrother.

"Non-alcoholic drink. I'm under the American legal drinking age." Though she could and has gotten sloshed at home. "I like to keep appearances of following rules so it can be easier to skirt others."

Nika couldn't help the snicker that came from Felicity being gobsmacked. It happened so rarely that it was kind of amusing and cute at the same time.
"I'm nearly twenty. How old did you think I was?" She tried to ignore the sinking feeling she could be dismissed for being too young again.

"I am over the legal drinking age. In Symkaria. And the rest of Europe. The United States just has ... weird hang ups with alcohol?" She relaxed a little at the kiss. She wasn't about to get packed up into the Town Car and sent home.
