Gotham Movies

[JON'S POV]

The ride was certainty enjoyable. It was similar to flying, just that I'm sitting on a moving vehicle and not flying high above. As Damian said, we've arrived at Gotham Movies in precisely 3 minutes. I took off my helmet to view the surrounding. From the looks of it, Gotham Movies isn't packed with people today. There were just a few citizens here and there. The last time I came here with my dad just w weeks ago, to watch the Black Leapord movie, the place was crowded. The theatre was almost full but luckily, we manage to get the two last seats. Anyways, Damian found a parking spot for his bike in an alley and parked it there.

Damian: Alright, we're here. (Taking of his helmet and got off the bike) enjoyed the ride?

Me: Uh, yeah! It's almost like flying, just lower down. I'm so glad I chose to ride with you. (Got off the bike)

Damian: Yeah well don't get used to it. (Turning off engine) Ok, come. (Started walking and talking) Movie starts in 15 minutes. We have just enough time to get the tickets and snacks.

Tickets and snacks huh.... (sigh) I got off my feets and followed Damian from behind. When I think he wasn't looking at me, I reach into my pocket and took out whatever amount of money I have. I counted the money that was in my hands and it's total is 25 bucks and 10 cents. Now I know I'm screwed because I don't have enough money to get us snacks, just tickets. (Sigh) well, looks like there will be no snacks for this movie trip. I kept the money back into my pocket and continued to follow Damian to the entrance.

Me: You know, I think I'll skip the snacks for this movie trip D. I don't feel like eating junk food now.

Damian: (glanced towards Jon) Really?

Me: Yes..

No, I just don't have enough money for both.....

Damian: (smirk) well alright then.

We've arrived inside, and just a few steps infront of us is the ticket counter. Damian stood infront of a tv, watching the trailer of How To Train your Goblin. While he watches that, I decided to go ahead and get the tickets first.

Me: Ok, you wait here, I'll go get our tickets and be back. (Got off his feets and started flying towards the counter)

I was about to fly closer to the counter, but then I realised that my cape is being pulled back, preventing me from flying further. I turned back and saw Damian's right hand tugging my cape. He then let go of my cape and grip my left arm with his left hand, pulling me closer to him.

Damian: I was only kidding about you buying the tickets and snacks Kent. I'm paying, don't worry. (Letting go of Jon's arm) Besides, I can tell that you don't have enough to pay for both.

Me: Wait what?! No! Why would you think that?

Damian: Really? (Crossed arms) show me how much you have.

I just had to open my big mouth... I hesitated at first but I did it. I reached into my pocket and pulled out all the money I have. I held my hand out, infront of Damian, holding the money. My eyes however was staring at the marble ground. In seconds, I noticed Damian's right infront of Me, closer than before. His boots were a few inches away from my sneaker. I looked up and see him smirking. He hold my hand that was holding the money and closed it with his other hand.

Damian: Don't worry. I knew you were low on cash the moment you told me that you didn't want to buy snacks. I find it hard to believe that you, you, (Pointing to Jon, a finger on his chest) do not want snacks. Don't worry, I'll pay, call this, my treat. (Smiling) Come. (Pushing Jon's hand away, giving a sign that he doesn't have to pay, and started walking towards the ticket counter)

In some ways, I felt kinda, guilty. For one thing, I was suppose to pay but it ended up with Damian paying. Another thing, I lied to him about the fact I didn't have enough money. (Sigh) I kept my money back into the pocket and followed Damian to the counter. When I reached the counter, next to Damian, he glanced at me with the annoyed look on his face.

Damian: Would you handle this??...... (gesturing to the person at the counter)

For a second, I was wondering why was he so pissed off. Is there a bad guy here? Is there a crying baby? What?

Counter lady: OH MY GOD!!!!! GUYS GUYS! ROBIN AND SUPERBOY IS HERE!! HERE!!

(Laughing on the inside) Then I noticed. I turned my head to face the person at the counter. It's a girl, maybe a teenager, long dark hair, grey eye colour with light black eyeshadow on them. Her eyes were popped out wide like she had see a ghost, with her fingers pressed onto her lips. By the looks of her wide smiling cheeks, I'm guessing she's a fan? Or something?

Me: Hi? (Waving hand to the lady with an awkward smile)

Lady: OH MY GOD! SUPERBOY JUST SAID HI TO ME!! EEEIIIII!!! HI SUPERBOY!!

Me: Hi, Um (looking at her name tag) Elisabeth....

Elisabeth: (muttering) oh my God... ok ok, calm yourself Lizzy, don't look like a complete idiot infront of your heroes..... (deep breath in and out) Hi, Superboy and (Glancing towards Damian) Robin, how can I help you today? (Smiling)

Me: Hi Elisabeth.. Are you a fan of us?

Jenny: Am I?! I'm like a huge fan of you both! The Super Sons. I'm the Super Sons Fanclub president at my school. Look, even my phone case is a picture of you both. See!

Elisabeth: (Showed her phone case and kept her phone back down) I just, I just can't believe I'm meeting you both in real life! I mean I've always seen you guys on the news or paper, but not in real life!! I'm sorry, I'm fangirling (Laughing) oh by the way, call me Lizzy, everyone does.

Damian: Hey Lizzy, the movie's about to start, can we get our tickets please.... (annoyed tone)

Me: Dude, harsh... You have a fan here... (gesturing to Lizzy)

Damian: (sigh) Alright Alright.. My apologies Lizzy.

Jenny: It's ok Robin, (giggling) I find your attitude to be absolutely adorable. (Giggling) Ok, so what movie would you both like to watch?

Me: How To Train your Goblin please..

Lizzy: Ok. (Muttered in a low voice) How to Train Your Goblin..... (after a while of sorting out the details) Alright, Supersons (chuckling excitingly) Here's your tickets (handing out two tickets) for the movie How to Train Your Goblin, movie starts 3.30p.m, which is 2 minutes from now. That would be 23 dollars please...

Damian: Here.. (handing a Visa card to Lizzy) PayWave...

Lizzy reached for Damian's Visa card and took it. She slides the card onto a paying machine thingy and a receipt started printing out. When the receipt was fully printed, Jenny pulled the receipt and hand it to Damian, together with his Visa card.

Lizzy: Alright. Here you go, (Handing the receipt and Visa card to Damian) Enjoy your movie Super Sons! And I hope to see you both again someday! Bye!! (Waving)

We got our tickets and now it's time to get some snacks and watch the movie!! Damian kept the tickets into one of his utility belt pockets and started walking towards the concession counter. Before I followed him, I said thank you to Lizzy.

Me: Thanks! And nice meeting you Lizzy! Bye..

Lizzy in the background: Omg! I can't wait to tell the club about...... (and her voice fades)

Damian was ahead of me, standing infront of the concession counter and ordering. I flew to next where he was standing.

Damian: .... and two large drinks, mine will be cola, you Kent?

Me: Orange soda please.

Damian: (Muttered) Knew it.. Ok. What else you want Kent? Go ahead and choose anything.

Me: Really?

Counter boy: Wow Superboy, wish I was lucky like you to have a friend like Robin. (Laughing)

Me: I know, I'm very lucky... (glanced at Damian and then back to the counter boy) But don't worry, you'll get a friend just like Robin someday. Have hopes ok.

Counter boy: Ok... Alright I'm sorry, what else would you Superboy?

Me: You sure I can choose anything? Even more than one junk food?

Damian: Sure.

Me: Oh my gosh thank you!! Alright, I'll have a hotdog, (glanced at Damian) and do you want to share a large popcorn Da-- I mean Robin?

Damian: I don't mind.. Sure..

Me: Alright. And one large popcorn.. Oh, caramel flavour please.

Counter boy: (carrying all the ordered stuff to the boys) Alright, two large drinks, one hotdog, and one large popcorn caramel flavour.. Anything else?

Damian: Actually, add on another hotdog and that should be enough. Thanks.

Counter boy: (walked and grab a hotdog and placed it together with the other ordered stuffs) Alright. Adding up everything, that will be 47 dollars and 20 cents please.

Damian: Here.. (handing his Visa card)

Once again Damian pays for the stuff with his Visa card. The counter boy slides the card onto a paying machine, but this time, no receipt was printed. He handed back the Visa card to Damian.

Counter boy: Thank you and enjoy your movie Super Sons! (Waving)

Me: Thank you!

Damian only took his drink and walked towards the usher. I carried my drink, the hotdog, the large popcorn and flew towards Damian who was handing the tickets to the usher.

Usher: Thank you, enjoy your movie Super Sons!

Me: Thanks!

Damian walked ahead of him and I follow him behind, trying my best to not drop anything.

Me: Dude! A little help here.....

Damian: (sipping his drink) Huh? Oh, sorry. (Taking the large popcorn and holding it)

Me: (sighed in relief) Thank you......

We made our way inside the theatre.

From the looks it, we're the first to arrive here. It's really cold in here, it's good thing I'm wearing long sleeves. We decided to seat right in the centre of the theatre, infront of the big screen. Or as I like to call it, the best seat in the house!! Oh yeah! Anyways, we took our seats and in about 30 seconds, the movie started playing.

Damian: Pass me the hotdog.

Me: Here.. (handing Damian the hotdog)

Damian begun eating the hotdog, and I begun eating the popcorn, as we both watch the movie playing on the big screen.
