[Smiles at her.]

I believe it.

[The evening has already started off very nicely.]

[backwordscompatible]

[One last smiling glance, and she lightly hops to the ground, making her way over to the movie set. The one she wanted was conveniently right on top of the pile, so she set to work fiddling with the controls before popping the disk in.]

[allthesensors]

[How convenient indeed! Dick moves over to the couch and relaxes into it. Drapes his arm across the couch and stretches out some.]

Now the question is...do we want to watch the best first or save it for last? Since I was promised what sounded like a movie marathon.

[backwordscompatible]

[The opening credits to Star Wars: Episode Four appear on-screen. Satisfied with the surround sound audio quality, she stands up with an innocent smile.]

I did promise a marathon, didn't I?

Back to back to back of pure genius talking about three of the greatest sci-fi classics. And if we're feeling particularly masochistic after that, I also found the prequel trilogy.

[allthesensors]

And you didn't join the team sooner, why?

[backwordscompatible]

Because my father was one kidnapping away from giving himself a minor stroke, remember?

[allthesensors]

Minor detail. I'm glad you're a part of the team now. [Have another smile.]

[backwordscompatible]

Likewise.

[Mike and the bots were already making comments about the opening sequence, introducing Chad Vader, and overall being their usual hilarious selves. Zatanna gave a small giggle as she took a seat beside Robin, twisting her body on the couch just enough to throw her legs over the armrest]

[allthesensors]

Oh man, so many thumbs up right about now.

[Eyes her for a moment as she gets comfy. She told him before that he could still be as chalant as he wanted.

Soooo.

Slides his arm on around her shoulder.]

[backwordscompatible]

Just wait until we get to Episode Five

[She sees that arm, Robin. Very bold. Of course, like she told M'gann: "He moves fast." Most guys would have waited more than two minutes into the movie.]

[Not that she minds, of course. She's even going to pretend not to notice for a bit, waiting to see what else he tries to pull.]

[allthesensors]

[You mean like that time he took a hold of M'gann's hand while he attempted to put the moves on her? Wait, never mind. You don't need to know about that time.

You just need to know you told him he could be as chalant as he wants so he's taking you up on that offer.

For now he seems to be content.]

I remember the first time I watched this, I wanted to be a jedi. But I think that's pretty standard.

[backwordscompatible]

[No. No, she doesn't. Although, all things considered, she'd probably find it more amusing than anything else by now. All the YJers flirting with each other. This is apparently a thing they do.]

[If he's content, then so is she. So content, in fact, that she leans a little bit closer into him. Getting more comfortable.]

How old were you?

[allthesensors]

[The closer she is, the more she can enjoy his Axe body spray. Aww yeah.]

I was around 10 or so. A friend of the family [and by that he means Alfred] took me out to get a light saber. I wanted to dual wield light sabers instead of my current weapons, but it's not as easy or practical as it looks. [Snickers.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Now that you mention it, she does happen to catch a wiff of it as he speaks. Very nice.]

You don't say?

Maybe you just weren't taking your metachlorian supplement pills. I heard that makes all the difference.

[allthesensors]

[Lightly baps himself on the head with his free hand.]

I knew I was forgetting something. Think they sell those here as wholesale?

[backwordscompatible]

[She reaches up with one hand to lightly pat him on the head.]

There, there. I'm sure we'll find it somewhere on the ship.

Probably right next to the Shark Repellent.

[allthesensors]

...Do you think there are actually jedis out here?

[He was a comic book character in one world, there were Pokemon here...why not jedis?]

[backwordscompatible]

Hmm. Wouldn't surprise me, really. Not after all the things we've already seen.

[Glances up at him from her leaning position]

Technically, I can already do the Jedi Mind Trick.

[allthesensors]

[Looks down at her and smirks.]

Oh yeah? Let's see one in action.

[backwordscompatible]

[She mockingly pouts]

I already showed you. Remember the robot scientist in prison?

Tell me that wasn't a little Force right there.

[allthesensors]

How do I know that wasn't a fluke? Only one way to find out...what am I thinking right now?

[backwordscompatible]

Rude. I got him to spill the beans, didn't I?

[But she's smiling all the same as she sits up, twisting around so that she's sitting on her knees, facing him]

Llet em tahw er'uoy gnikniht~

[Translation: "Tell me what you're thinking"]

[allthesensors]

[Whoops. He thought she was going to amuse him and make something up.]

That I'm really feeling the aster when you're this close to me and smiling like that.

[Smiles and then his eyes widen.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Consider that bluff called. Very successfully called.]

Told you.

[allthesensors]

Point made. No more questioning your Jedi Mind prowess.
