Galas were a routine at this point for Bruce. The car ride there would be a mixture of straightening clothes, meditating, and trying to fight of the preemptive irritation at the idea of shaking so many hands and pretending to be interested in things he honestly couldn't care less about. Sometimes he'd bring a date, other times he wouldn't. He honestly prepared the latter. At least then he wouldn't have to oversee some clingy snob's alcohol intake.
This gala was no different. He walked in, getting bombarded on the way by the paparazzi who asked the same 5 questions as always, which he completely ignored as always. He made his way to the refreshments table to grab champagne next because, for whatever reason, people tended to be more likely to come to you if you had a drink in hand. Then he got about his business mingling, listening to his benefactors front on about some new policy or half baked idea. It bored him half to death.
In his boredom, Bruce started glancing over the party, partially to entertain himself and partially to scan for threats. Once could never completely stop a habit like that, not even when the cowl was off. That's when he saw her. Probably one of the most stunning women he'd ever seen. God, she looked like a damn siren, and he felt the pull, thats for damn sure.
Bruce quickly found a way to excuse himself, sauntering over to her with his usual debonair fake smile. She was dressed in something that could only be described as sinful. Backless, floor length, a slit up as high as it could go and still be legal. All of his plans for the evening, keeping a woman off his arm to focus on work, flew out the window. He couldn't pass up an opportunity like her.
He walked up behind her, clearing his throat so not to startle her before speaking up, his tone calm and calculated, an almost cocky lilt in his words, "I don't believe I've seen you at one of these before. Are you enjoying yourself?" He'd admit, it was a touch basic, but hey, manners usually payed off.
