Shakaya walked in to the club known as the Nest, she was in Gotham city on business, but needed to let of some steam. She was wearing a hot red mini dress that showed all her back and 5” heels, When she went out she wanted to make a splash. She smiled as she got asked for ID and licked her lips as she slipped it back in to the tiny purse that she held.
She made her way towards the bar, as her eyes moved around the crowed. Her hands were covered with red mesh gloves as she touched the bar and lent towards the bartender.
“Jim and coke please, hold the coke”
She said as she eyed him up and down and winked as she was handed the drink and she placed the money on the counter, she downed the drink and tapped the glass on the counter as the bartender poured another, before downing that and making her way on to the dance floor.
She didn’t care who she danced with as she swayed her body to the beat of the music, her eyes still moving around the club, not completely letting her guard down.

It was a quiet night for The Nest, something concerning JJ. Even thought it wasn't their peak day or time he was still concerned. After all he had a business to run and the bar was only two deep. Certainly something he didn't like seeing. He examined the clientele in the club, just what he wanted. Only the beautiful people. He pressed his finger to his ear communicator.
"Let a few more...less pleasant...people in, so long as they honor the dress code."
He shut the communicator off, knowing the bouncer would oblige without asking. He adjust the collar of his shirt before noticing the woman in mesh red gloves. He knew of her instantly, like all members of the Batfamily and as leader of the Avengers he was aware of New X and their leader Rogue. He came up behind her smirking.
"Enjoying yourself?"

Shakaya heard a voice behind her and smirked as she turned around and nodded. She looked up and down the man in front of her and grinned.
“I am indeed, but I thought maybe there would be more people in here”
She grinned and swayed to the music as she ran one gloved hand down her side and laughed softly. She enjoyed the company of good looking men, and he was very good looking indeed.
“So what does a girl got to do around here to get a drink?”
She smiled up at him.

"I was just thinking that same thing..."
He mumbled to himself, scanning the crowd. He examined the people coming in and shook his head, such a waste, but money was money. And if they could pay that was alright with him. He'd have to put more money into advertising though, have some kind of weekday specials too. He'd bring it up at the next manager's meeting. He looked back to her and smiled.
"Well, surely a beautiful woman like you would have no problem finding a guy to buy her a drink. Although it helps to make friends with the owner."
He said with a wink.

“That’s true; I can get just about any guy to buy me a drink, just not always the one I want”
She laughed softly
“Oh really, is this owner good looking?”
She laughed and looked him up and down, knowing damn well he was hot and the way he held himself he knew he was sex on legs. She moved towards the bar with him beside her and ordered two Jim and cokes. Then passed one over.
“First ones on me”
She laughed as she took a sip
“I’m Shakaya by the way”
She held out her gloved hand.

"Eh, he's alright I suppose. He has his good days and bad days."
He said with a slight laugh. He walked over to the bar with her. But before he could say anything she ordered for him. Well, she was a customer and he needed all the business he could get. He took the glass and nodded his head before taking a sip. He almost never drank, as it dulled his senses. Not to mention helped his insanity come out more.
"JJ, JJ Grayson. Pleasure to meet you Shakaya."
He said before shaking her hand and smiling a bit. She was going to be trouble, especially if she got him to drink anymore.
"So Shakaya, did you come here alone?"

“Well we all have a good and our bad days, so I’ll let it pass”
She laughed softly and smiled as she lent her back against the bar and watched him, she took another sip of her drink and watched as took a sip and licked her lips.
“Nice to meet JJ, do you mind if I call you JJ?”
She laughed softly, she could feel the two shots before getting to her head, but she was enjoying herself for the first time in a while, tonight was about her.
“Yes I did”
She took another sip of her drink.
“It must be nice owning this place; well I’m guessing it’s not always easy. But to just be able to sit and watch, the way they touch, the music”
She laughed softly and took another sip of her drink.
”He must think I’m a nut”
She thought to herself.

He laughed a bit and shook his head.
"It's not as nice as most people would think."
He said with a smile. And for the most part it was true. Sure he had access to high connections because of this place, but there was a lot of work that had to go into it. But he wouldn't have changed a damn thing.
"There's a lot more work than I thought there would be. I don't get a lot of time to observe the crowds. However that doesn't mean certain people don't get my attention."

She laughed softly.
“Well I’m sure it would be nicer then some of the things I have to do”
She said more to herself then him, mind you she wouldn’t change what she did, and it would just be nice for a change once in a while.
She laughed at his last comment, and grinned a little.
“Well weather I like to admit it I do like the attention, not always from some people, but I’m defiantly glad you noticed me”
She finished the rest of her drink, and ordered two more and placed it on the bar next to him, as she held up her new glass to him.
“To meeting new and interesting people that can hold a conversation as well as looking good while they do it”
She smirked as she licked her lips moistening them.

"Yes, that I will agree with."
He said with a smirk before taking another sip of his drink. He watched her order two more but saw the bartender smirk at him and make one for JJ that was special. He couldn't keep his rarely drinking rule without bartenders knowing. Naturally he had bottles with dyed water but normal labels for him. He finished his drink and nodded his head before grabbing the new 'drink'.
"Here's to it."
He said as they hit glasses before taking another drink. He got used to tasting watered down coke so it didn't bother him.
"So Shakaya, what brings you to Gotham? I know a good amount of people in Gotham and I'd definitely remember you."

She laughed a little and grinned.
“Just looking for some old friends”
She smiled a little as she took another sip.
“I hail from California, Mostly here for business, but a little bit of pleasure never hurt anyway”
She smiled a little and took another sip of her drink.
“So what do you do when you’re not running the coolest club in Gotham city?”
She smiles as she pushed a strand of hair off of her face and looked around as she swayed a little to the music.

"Friends eh? Well I'm glad you decided to step into my club. We can never have too many beautiful clients."
He said with a smirk. That much was actually true. Although he hadn't heard about New X operating in Gotham or any rogue mutants in Gotham. Nightwing will have to step in and investigate this matter, not to mention trail her.
"Well I manage my part of Wayne Enterprises and look at other potential investments. As well as talk to any women who catch my interest. So what kind of business do you do Shakaya?"

She smiled softly and laughed.
“Well it is the best club around, and I only go for the best”
She winked as she took another sip of her drink, licking her lips after.
“But I’m sure you say that to all the girls”
She nudged him gently with her gloved hand and laughed. She smiled as she listened to him ask about what she did, and instantly started going through things to say in her head, She really didn’t want to be seen as Rogue tonight, Mind you she was sure if anyone looked close enough at her, they would notice who she was or have a fair idea. But tonight she was just Shakaya.
“Mostly a little bit of this and a lot bit of that”
She decided to be vague about what she did, most men liked a bit of mystery in woman. Weather it was true about JJ she would soon find out, but she was having too much fun, to spoil it by telling him what she did and who she was, because most men after hearing she was the leader of the New X and a Mutant, they ran the other way quicker then most people could say Ten hungry hippo’s. She sighed a little to herself, but shook the feeling as she took a bigger sip of her drink and looked back up in to the hazel eyes that had caught her attention straight away and smiled.

"Not all the girls. Only the ones who peek my interest."
He said with a smirk. He didn't fully understand why she was so shy as to who she was. Mutants were widely accepted, not like 20 some years ago. Mutants aren't forced to hide, which is good. Not to mention New X were practically celebrities in some circles.
"Well, I'd be careful describing your work like that. Makes you sound like either a thief, prostitute, or drug pusher."
He said laughing a bit. He knew for a fact that wasn't the case. But if he didn't know her he'd have to guess that's what she did.
"But fair enough, I'll respect your secrecy. Everyone needs some secrets, makes things more interesting. And who doesn't like a mystery?"
He asked with a wink before taking a sip of his drink.

She raised her eyebrow and smirked.
“Well I’m glad I’m one of the lucky ones”
She laughed a little and licked her lips.
“Or I could be an undercover agent”
She laughed as she took another sip of her drink and watched him, she found herself swaying to the music as she moved a little closer to him and sighed a little as she looked up in to his eyes.
“Haven’t you ever had a day were you just didn’t want people to know who you are. I’m sure if you ask around, or watch the news you will figure it out, but tonight I want to be a normal girl looking for a good time and flirting with a great looking guy”
She smiled a little as she watched him.
“I’m all for a good mystery”
She winked as she licked her lips then took another sip from her drink.
