John drove down to the cave and got suited up. The new one Fox had created for him was perfect. It was a snug fit but he was still able to move around.

The reason why John was suiting up tonight was because he'd heard a rumor about something going down in the city, so he thought he'd check it out. It could be nothing, but he wanted to be on the safe side. It was something about dreamshare. John couldn't find much other than it was a military training program but got shut down after losing its funding.

He sighed. "I think I'm gonna call in sick."

[inyourdreams]

She raised her eyebrow.

"Already?"

[gcpd]

"Yeah." He was sure Gotham could take care of themselves for one night.

[inyourdreams]

"Okay," she said. She certainly wasn't going to argue with him about it. She leaned down and kissed his head.

[gcpd]

John got out of bed with his phone and went to the bathroom to fake the call.

[inyourdreams]

She went back to reading.

[gcpd]

He came back a minute later and got into bed again. "What're you doing?" He asked as he rested his head on her lap.

[inyourdreams]

"Just reading," she said as her hand went to run through his hair.

[gcpd]

"Reading what?"

[inyourdreams]

"'The Turn of the Screw' by Henry James," she said as she put the tablet aside.

[gcpd]

"Don't stop on my account."

[inyourdreams]

"No, it's okay," she said. "I've read it many times before."

[gcpd]

He nodded against her.

[inyourdreams]

"You're here. I want to spend time with you," she said, looking down at him as her fingers continued moving through his hair.

[gcpd]

"I know," he said with a sigh.

[inyourdreams]

"Were they mad?" she asked.

[gcpd]

"Yeah, a little," he replied.

[inyourdreams]

She nodded.

[gcpd]

"You wanna do something tonight?"

[inyourdreams]

"It is tonight," she pointed out. "But I guess as long as it doesn't involve a lot of walking.

[gcpd]

"Watch a movie?" He suggested.

[inyourdreams]

"Sure," she said. "Here or at the theater?"

[gcpd]

"Either one's fine with me."

[inyourdreams]

"Can we stay here?" she asked. She'd been antsy earlier, but now it was getting late and she didn't feel like putting in the effort to get dressed and look presentable enough to go out.

[gcpd]

"Sure. We can do whatever you want," he replied.
