Barbara finishes setting the table, adjusting the plates ever so slightly. She is paying very close attention to everything, making sure it is all perfect. In a way she is not willing to admit... she really wants to impress Johnny. This "Date" might be something very different in her mind than his... and definitely her trying to pull his leg... but she does want him to enjoy his time here. Maybe even want him to want to come back... They may not be romantic partners, but he has certainly grown on her. He has a light she cannot deny, and it isn't a pun. Tony had it right- is it really so bad she wants to warm herself in his glow?
"Damian! Best behavior!" Babs calls out, grinning a bit wickedly. This is something she has been planning for some time. Of all that she knows about Johnny, she thinks he can handle all that is Damian. On top of that, this is a safe, somewhat controlled environment, so it is a great chance for Dames to get some socializing in. He needs to learn how to exist in the world, and Johnny seems the sort to take a good deal on the chin. Next is Cassandra, if he survives this one.
Barbara has been cleaning for days. She went back on her menu three times, perhaps to the puzzlement of Damian. When Damian had asked, she was clear this was her cashing in on a date Johnny had promised her, but that she doubts he or she will walk away from it as romantic. Babs did not explain she feels she might be too dark for someone like him. Of course, tonight is a night to get to know him a little more. She is always open to being wrong... but she seldom is.
Going over to the oven, she opens to check the heat and the pizza stone. Everything is in order... looking in the kitchen, it is busy, but organized. Multiple little stations, three in total, where they can all make their own pizzas. There are a myriad of toppings, and she had spend the day proofing and kneading the dough. She smiles, quietly and to herself.
