Mira was sore all over, the training session with Nicky had taught her one thing at least. Out of armor she was in WAY over her head. Not that she was going to complain though. Only reason she had ditched the armor was the simulation had thrown an EMP at it that had taken it out for a few minutes.

Despite being sore she was on the bike, mostly to get some fresh air. thumbing the button to open up a com channel she had the bike's AI call up Vincent, she was in the mood to actually just do something silly, and figured might be fun to drag him along. Coney Island would work, her bike could get jealous of a roller coaster for all she cared. "Hey Vincent, you busy with anything? Well okay anything with time constraints?"

"Yours. Mine we'd be fighting Jolly Green for the remote." That and though Roxie didn't seem to mind felt weird thinking about if she walked in.

Vincent snorts. "I'm not afraid of him."

It's an easier retort than confronting the issue of wondering if she's embarrassed to be seen with him around the Avengers.

"Fine," She grinned as they walked. "Next date, you can come pick me up then how's that?" She had no problem being seen with him at least. "Ugh, looks like there's a twenty minute wait. Should we try something else first or risk the line?"

He assesses the line, then turns back to her. "I suppose that depends entirely on how you'd like to pass twenty minutes." He winks at her.

She grinned. "What do you have in mind?" She slid her arms around him.

Vincent took her by the shoulders and pulled her against him, kissing her more aggressively this time.

Mira yelped into the kiss when she was pulled closer, but leaned into him folding her arms around him returning the kiss. She liked this side of him, and trusted that they'd remember to go slow. After all he had recently broken up with someone and she hadn't been on the dating scene for a while.

Though those thoughts were actually a little further down on the priorities, after all, hello kiss!

Eventually coming up for air, Vincent leans his forehead against hers.

"...I'm sorry, what were we talking about?" He grins.

She grinned a little at him. "You know I think I forgot. There was something about a ride, but it really isn't important is it?" She purred a little sliding her arms up so they were draped over his shoulders.

"I think I'm content to let you decide what's important for today." He tilts his head so he can lean in and nibble at her ear, hands falling down to her hips.

"Isn't that how we got here though?" She giggled a little as she stayed content in his arms, flipping off a few teenage boys that commented about them being all public. One of the boys made a snide comment back that she ignored.

"Why don't we attempt to deal with my water issue then? Because right now, the ride doesn't seem like it'll be as great to cling to you on."

Vincent smiles happily. "That sounds wonderful." He untangles himself from her for the most part, letting her retain her hold on his arm, and starts walking them towards the aquarium.

"I'm not going to promise I won't completely flip out mind you. But I will at least try not to." She rests her head against his shoulder as they walk. "Just be glad no Boomers with me. Really don't think we want me shattering glass."

"You're an Avenger. You could always claim the fish were part of some evil plot."

That makes her laugh. "Right, evil fish, you know that's as silly as evil giraffes right? 'I shall eat the last leaf on this tree so no one else can muahahahha'." She loved that Eddie Izzard skit if only because it was so silly.

"Though sharks could be, with all those teeth and those beady eyes..."

Vincent doesn't particularly follow comedy.

"Giraffes, really? I mean, I heard about that one mad Russian and his apes..."

He then smiles, the scientist in him coming to the fore. "Sharks are an example of nature getting it right the first time. Oh, there are some specialized one, and on the whole they're smaller than they used to be, but millions of years with hardly any changes. Highly efficient hunting machines."

She gives him a small look.

"Not helping me there Vincent. We'll be in a glass enclosure with those hunting machines around us remember." She actually shudders slightly, pulling her leather jacket a little closer as if to hold of a chill.

He puts his arm around her shoulder and holds her a little tigther. "Sorry. Just focus on the enclosure part."

She gave a nod, gripping his hand. "Promise you won't leave my side in there? Just in case I freak out?"

At least she wouldn't have to worry if there was footage, when working with the team she always had her bike helmet on at least. Wouldn't do for an Avenger to freatk out at a fish tank after all right? She could do this. At least this far. Out in the ocean... well she wasn't eager to try that one just yet.

"I promise." He squeezes her hand in return. "Let's go look at otters. Everyone likes otters."

She chuckled at his suggestion and nodded. "It'll be a safe start."

"They're very cute, but not like you'd expect from seeing them in nature specials or movies. These must be the otters that refused to get plastic surgery to elevate their careers."

"So the animals that aren't shallow. Got it." She giggled a little. After all her young childhood had been around actors who thought looks were everything. Though considering the business her father had run, wasn't that far from the truth for some of them.

Though she did sidetrack them from the otter tank, only to go see the penguins.

They may not be everything, but looks certainly mattered. Mother had told him as such, in galvanized tones, and Father... well, his father's vanity was well-documented. Vincent's own mask had been mandated once the braces went on, after all. He doesn't fully disagree with the outlooks.

He lets Mira pull him along, smiling with quiet content.

She hugged his arm as they walked actually starting to enjoy herself. She knew it would probably get ruined somehow, but she was going to take what she could get.
