After agreeing to co-habitation, Leon and Raven go out to buy supplies and clothes for Raven since she'll be staying there for awhile now. To which Raven had an ingenious refusal stating what she had was enough which were 2 sets of clothes and a book, After a mildly stimulating argument between them where Leon was the victor due to his puppy eyes and handsome face Raven accepted the proposal ofcourse it had nothing to do with the fact that Leon talked to her about hygiene issues and how she was starting to smell and possibly informed her about some infections caused by wearing the same clothes for long term which causes molds to form in certain unfriendly areas, definitely not .
After a not so quick round of shopping spree with little to no actual buying, Leon swore to himself that this was her way of revenge by making him wait while it took her 2 hours to choose 2 dresses.
With their shopping spree over, our heroes decided to eat lunch at a nearby cafe giving Leon his well-deserved sanity back.
Choosing a table near the window, but still secluded enough to give them privacy as Leon starts chomping on his well earned Hamburger they start making small talk about themselves.
Raven: Hey Leon?
Yeah?
How rich are you? I mean I've seen your house and everything but you don't have a single car or ride, nor any expensive watches or any thing in the house which screams money. I know you inherited your adopted parents wealth but I'm just curious you say you're rich but you live.. well.. normally.
Leon: * Chuckles * I suppose I do, well I used to live with my grandparents in the mansion near Metropolis, back there it was only us we lived in total solitude so the aspect of being rich wasn't exactly there we didn't have butlers nor maids we just lived there just the three of us. They adopted me when I was very young so I don't know the whole story but from what they told me i used to be very naughty hehe, they lived very frugally and did everything by themselves to growing food and spices they would take me time to time to the city or town but even then it was mostly for grandpa's business or to handle some affairs, so I guess it got instilled in me. I still remember when Grandpa Lu used to take me fishing though I hate eating fish I do love the action of fishing .
*Raven starts to lean in closer and put her hand on her chin as she listens to Leon with a smile *
Anddd to answer your question about how rich ? Well even I don't know the proper estimate but I'm guessing it's around Billions so yeah I'm a billionaire I guess ?
Raven: .....
YOU'RE WHAT !!!
*Slams the table *
Until she realises the people in the cafe are staring after her outburst .
*In a hush voice *
sigh ... Ofcourse you are .
Leon: *Chuckles* Yes, My dear Raven I am .
We have shares in the Wayne enterprise and Luthor corp and investments in some other small time companies. Grandpa Lu always was a great man with great business acumen.
Raven: Sigh...
How are you even handling it all alone ? That much responsibilities, I'm not gonna be surprised by anything from you anymore at this point...ughhh... Atleast You're not like Bruce wayne that's a plus I guess .
Leon:* if only you knew *
Well I have a very powerful ally/friend who takes care of all those duties for me until I come of age so I don't need to worry much and he's someone who saw me grow up so I trust him alot .
Raven: *Smiles* that's good to have someone you trust.
Leon: *My gaze softens* you have me now Raven, you can trust me.
Raven: * slightly flustered* Thanks.. that means a lot.
After a the cafe date, The pair go on their merry way back home Leon moves to the kitchen to make dinner where Raven volunteers to help only for Leon to see Raven chop the potatoes with their skins still on and make a new dish called Caramel Omelette with sugar instead salt. Due to which Leon promptly gestures for her to leave the kitchen area with a simple sentence of * I still want to see my children * after seeing her add ketchup on rice.
Raven: uh.. I've never cooked before.
Leon: Gee ... I never would've guessed, what gave you away ? The sugar or the freaking ketch--*Twacckk* a cushion slams directly onto Leon's face before he can finish the sentence*.
* Murder is illegal , murder is illegal , * Exhales ... * But if I hide her body and then plant endangered plants who'll have the nerve to pluck/dig out the body? *
Raven: What dangerous thoughts are you thinking
* gives an intense stare narrowing her eyes*
Leon: Nothing just thinking that the old times were better * Then I could've just screamed she's a witch and see you get turned into the human torch* he muses with a Snicker before another pillow slams on his face.
