Happy Birthday Maria (backdated to around April 15th)
Shopping for presents was hard for anyone. But make it for an alternate-universe relative who was technically your niece? Not much better.

But really ever since coming here she'd been the one to make him feel the most welcome (a welcoming Batman would scare most people and he really didn't expect it so it seemed someone had picked up the slack), so he wanted to get her at least something. He'd gotten her a shirt and a card with a comprehensive list of overrides for security cameras (some of which he manually had to go alter) around prime trouble-making places she might enjoy. And an extra lock pick made for standard police cuffs (which she no doubt already had but extras never hurt) just in case.

Take the traditional birthday night off you workaholic. I don't want to hear from you unless you need someone to break you out of something. Now go wreck havoc and fix that social life problem.

	Maria loved the shirt, the card and lock picks. She sought Thomas out and gave him a big hug and a loud smooch on the cheek. "Thank you!" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	He chuckles at her response and takes it in stride. "You're welcome. I'm not bailing you out by the way. I will break you out if you need it though." The next part is tacked on with a wink, "By the way, the old man has mysteriously been called out of town for some business. Shame really that he'll be out of town in the next day or two. Whatever will you do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know. You know I'll always break you out if needed." Maria grinned. "Run amok? Cause chaos? Cause panic? You know my usual MO." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If I needed to be broken out from a jail cell then something's wrong with me and you should leave me there," he laughs. "This time with no disapproving glares or video evidence! Go find a partner in crime to run loose with. I'll turn a blind eye." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Everyone gets caught once in awhile," Maria said. "Come with me. We could find some trouble together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Nah it's not the getting caught part, it's the not being able to get out."

"Sure. But I was going to cover your patrol while you worked on that social life of yours." He was well enough now that Bruce was letting him go on short patrols. Sure, covering hers would be bending the rules, but that was the fun. "But I don't mind a little trouble. Got anything in mind or are we going to improv it?"

	"Sometimes you can't always escape," Maria said. She shrugged. "Improv I think since I was planning on going out on patrol. Really didn't plan anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, you're not allowed on patrol. Night off. Even if I need to enforce that in a manner very like the grouchy bat there." He smirks at her. "Alright, then let's go wreck havoc then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria kissed his cheek and then hooked an arm around his. She grinned brightly. "Everyone else beware. It's time for chaos, panic, disorder and anything else we feel like causing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria laughed. "Gotham's never ready for the likes of us." And off they go. (Reply to this)(Parent)
