The Flowers Job
Sarah had needed to do a very simple job. Get into a party a gangster was throwing and plant some bugs. Her employer was trying to gather intelligence and wanted to make sure that he was covering all of his bases. Honestly was was far too easy for her to find a way into the party. Invitations were easy to get her hands on and with the right dress no one really wanted to ask questions either.

Guards were so easy to flirt past. Especially when she was putting out all the stops. She thought she might even check out the safe while she was here. This was proving to be an incredibly easy and fun job for the thief. She should just try really hard to not tempt fate.

He lets it continue until his innerBatman, which he's managed to ignore and muffle the whole night, becomes very loud. What was he doing? As much as he enjoys this, he's aware of the danger. And this, as innerBatman was so nicely lecturing him in his head, was reckless and he had to stop it at some point before he let it get too far.

Reaching around her he pushes open the closet door and they both stumble out. He takes a step back to put some space between them and casually smiles, as if he hadn't been having an internal argument, "So I guess we've determined you don't have any stolen goods on you. Unless of course that dress isn't yours."

	"I could always bring you the sales receipt," Sarah says with a hand sliding to rest on her hip. She's looking pretty amused. Of course he had affected her just as much as she affected him. She was just very good at hiding that unless he got a real good look at her eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I might need to see it. What will I have to do if you can't prove it?" He's smirking a bit and amused by the effect on her, but he's still not sure what he should do. Let this continue? It was harmless so far... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	".....Figure out where I'm hiding it," she teases and can't help that quick wink she sends his way. She wouldn't mind continuing. She though he got them out of the closet because it was cramped. "Of course that might end in you breaking into some of my safe houses trying to find it... Can't have that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What makes you think I haven't already broken into a few?" He's hasn't put so much space between them that it's noticeable that he's hesitant about something, but it's certainly not as close as they were before. Still, this was all so confusingly complicated. Maybe it was better to cut it off now...or just screw innerBatman and let it run. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She looks far too smug. "Not the important ones." He looks like he can't decide if he's going to hmm, how best to put it? Shiver her timbers or leave before they do something he's acting like he might regret. She doesn't think he will. Silly man. They keep playing all over the city. She just doesn't know if he can handle all of her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-16 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"You can't be sure," he smirks. Luckily he can't read her mind right now. It wouldn't help his dilemna here. He needed to consder his options and having her looking like that wasn't exactly the best way to make a decision. At least not one with his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She chuckles softly. "I figure you might follow me anyways so..." She steps forward smirking softly. "Watch my back on my way there? It's far enough from where we are now that if you didn't take my card I'd be taking a cab so.... rooftop express for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Rooftop express in that?" Skeptical look is definitely there. He doesn't step away from her advance but at the same time doesn't move any closer. He's still feeling a little divided.

He'd figure it out later though. Pulling out her card he smiles, "Well...I'll give it back to you just so you won't be out in the cold like that. But...I still haven't heard what you were doing at the party in the first place."

Yes he was well aware that he was ruining whatever mood this way but...oh hell he had no idea what he was doing.

	"I've done worse," she says with an entertained looking smile. Now that has her shaking her head. "Sorry. No can do. You'd make the experience moot if I told you. And that would cost me." She smirks up at him. "Nice try though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-16 03:13 am UTC (link)
	"That would have been fun to see..." He shrugs, "Had to take a chance. You're back to work pretty quickly since the whole shooting thing." Well now he's wondering what she was doing there. She hadn't stolen anything...scouting? He'd look into it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Trust me, you'd see so much more in that situation." She smiled softly. "I couldn't stay away. My Employer was very convincing. He even apologized for my injury." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-16 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Oh to hell with it. He'd figure this all out when he got back to the manor. No reason to ruin the night. "Sounds like fun. Why don't you do it more often?" "Well it was his fault partially. If he wants a thief he needs to make sure his doesn't get shot," he frowns. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know... could be dangerous," she says with a shrug. "Gotham isn't like Turkey." She can't help but smile and place a hand on him teasingly. "You're just upset I didn't get returned to you in the same condition I left." Now she's flirting again. She presses a kiss against his cheek. "Thank you for worrying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-16 03:49 am UTC (link)
	Thomas tilts his head and looks interested, "Turkey?" "Well I went through all that trouble to have you in perfect condition and what do I get back? They got you shot. I need to have words with your boss about proper thief treatment." He shoots her a small smile, "What did you expect?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"One of my favorite countries. France and Egypt tie for a close second," she offers with a soft smile. "Is he going to have to start signing agreements with you?" She's trying so hard to not laugh. Then she softly kisses his cheek again. "Let me get my shoes on. We really should go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He tries to keep the smile off his face at learning something more...personal from her. Especially since it might help him with figuring out her past.

"No. Agreements imply negotiation. This will be a...well order is a strong word, how about 'suggestion that will be enforced'?"

He grumbles at innerBatman, this was the equivalent of walking her to her door! And it was dangerous in Gotham at night, he was being gentlemanly. Ask innerAlfred. Although innerAlfred at least stayed quiet during the whole closet thing...if only the batman one could have.

	Well she's not American. That is obvious by the place she named as her favorite. "So bossy," she teases gently as she moves to pull her shoes on. "I don't blame you. You're part of the Batfamily. That implies a level of 'I am in control here'." She means that in a good way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-16 04:21 am UTC (link)
	"With good reason," he frowns. "People don't listen if you ask nicely. Well...not the ones I need to deal with at least." Pause. "I don't mind letting someone else have control once in a while," he smirks. He couldn't resist that tease. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Really? I never noticed. I mean criminals are so nice, you know," she jokes. "I mean all we need is just one big friendly hug. Like a buddy cop film." She is so lucky that didn't really strike her as something to blush over. For her it would be if it actually sunk in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-16 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	"So," he smirks, "you're saying that the next time I want to stop one of your heists I just need to hug you? Hmmm...easier than I thought." They make their way out of the pool house quietly, and considering the two of them it's probably one of the most discrete exits you can get. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think if you did that to stop me.... I'd faint," she said after a moment. Now they're outside so she moves quickly. Sarah is a very fast climber. The only issue is her dress so she hikes it up so the slit can rest on her hip to allow her more freedom of movement as she gains the height she needs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-16 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	It's nice to run over the rooftops with someone who can keep up, even if the dress slows her down a bit. Of course he can't help but glance appreciatively once she hikes it up. Oh he's smirking now. He'll find a way to surprise hug her just to see her reaction now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-16 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	It won't do for him to get too far ahead. She has to lead the way since she was trying to get back to home. They're still far enough off that Sarah is well aware she's going to regret her dress by the time they get there. She's very cold right now. She is going to put a fire on she thinks just so she doesn't get sick. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-16 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	He slows a bit so she can close the distance. Plus...she is revealing a safehouse location to him now. He's curious to see if it's one he knows about. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
