What If - Cat and Mouse
It had started innocently enough. Maria Helena Grayson Wayne had taken a job with a small security firm and had quickly learned the ropes. She had to have something to pay the bills in this strange new world. Once she was settled in, she had what it took to get onto the team that tested firm's security systems by breaking in. At first Maria loved it. It was challenging and fun, but then it became way too easy. Uncle Bruce had trained her since the age of five and it showed.

Maria wanted more of a challenge and she found one.

She broke into higher security places and took small mementos for herself. Those small mementos turned into bigger things, but she didn't keep them for herself. There were so many people living on the streets of Gotham that needed help. Maria fenced the little trinkets she stole and used the money to give to the shelters and soup kitchens of Gotham.

Steal from the rich and give to the poor. She became a female Robin Hood clad in purple and black.

Tonight she was breaking into the offices of one of the richest men, after Bruce Wayne, in Gotham. There was a diamond the size of a fist he was keeping in the safe in there.

She was on the roof and working on disabling the security systems.

She put her hand in his. "Do I get a spanking for being bad?"

He picks her up, and carries her to a rooftop, finding one significantly higher than its neighbors so there's not an easy escape if you can't fly.

He's about to respond, when what she said hits him... so he stands there with his mouth open a few moments, finally shaking it off.

"Do you have proof the owner is in the mob?"

Maria grinned. "Of course I do. I would just steal from anyone," she said. "Not that I did steal, but if I were to, it would be from bad guys."

Which... some of the bats do as well, and the Question... and others. "Let me guess, you have the kind of proof that will link these people to the mob, but wouldn't stand up in court, right?"

"That's usually how it goes," she said. "Take away their resources and they do get desperate enough to do something rash. Something that will stand up in court."

She shrugged. "There's more than one way to skin a cat and the people of Gotham get aid in the process. Everyone wins. Except the bad guys."

He sighs. "And you can show me this evidence?" Operating in Gotham sometimes requires a certain tolerance for letting things be done the Gotham way.

"Of course I can," she said with a smile. "Do I still get that spanking?"

He's about to turn her down flat... and an idea strikes him The bats aren't always very forthcoming with information... could he really do it, though?

"I'll tell you what, bring me your evidence against everyone you've stolen from... I'm going to check this out." And have a realistic idea who all is on the take in Gotham. "If every one of them does check out as 'bad people', you can have your spanking."

Maria smiled. "You have yourself a deal." She held out a hand. "Maria Grayson Wayne. Huntress."

He shakes her hand. "Jonathan Kent, Superboy. And I'll be going with you to get that proof. You almost disappeared a couple times already, I'm keeping an eye on you til we straighten this out."

Maria wrapped her arms around his neck. "You're my ride home if you want what I have." She was talking about the information...mostly.

He picks her up again, not getting the innuendo - until about thirty seconds out... which draws a blush.

"Ok, where are we going?"

"You're cute when you blush," she told him before giving him the address.

He rolls his eyes, but smiles despite himself. "I should have known coming to Gotham would be trouble."

"You found it with a capital T," she smirked. Maria may have been holding on a little tighter than necessary. It was a good excuse to get close to Cutie.

He's still not quite sure how he got himself into this - it was supposed to be just stopping a crime wave.

They arrive at the indicated address. "Alright, your show."

Maria led him into her apartment. The place could have used a good cleaning, but Maria didn't seem embarrassed about her clothes all over the place.

She led him to the table that was covered with files and photographs. Most of Gotham's mobsters were in the photos along with other well known individuals. The amount of paper she had on these guys was impressive.

"Have fun."

Aside from getting place to place, he doesn't use super speed a lot - it can make people uncomfortable. But it is useful at times, and he's hardly worried about her comfort. He speeds through the photos in a blur, memorizing the information and checking it against the burglaries.

He sighs. "Ok, they all check out." he agrees, after a few moments.. having gotten all her files organized while he was at it.

"Right now is where I would say I told you so, but since I won't do that, I think you owe me."

He nods. "I'm good at my word."

"I was hoping you'd say that," she said with a smile as she walked up to him and got close. "I am owed a spanking, but I think I'll settle for this...." She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a deep kiss.

That... he was not expecting, at all. To his own surprise, he finds himself returning the kiss, before coming to his senses after a couple seconds.

"Well..." Yeah, totally at a loss for words.

"Bat got your tongue?" she smirked before kissing him again. She was encouraged by the return kiss so she kissed him again.

This time he does kiss her back properly. He's not quite sure why, even, but it has been an interesting day.

If anything, Maria is forward. She pressed up against him and deepened the kiss. He was a good kisser.
