To the Batmobile!
A sleek black car, hardly distinguishable from the shadows, speeds toward the highway exit with barely a sound. It was the sort of car that would have car enthusiasts drool if they caught a glimpse.

And he was behind the wheel.

Hey, Batman was retired but a car like this couldn't be left to collect dust.

	Well that's what you get for talking to people trained by The World's Greatest Detective. "Or I'm just concerned about your ability to get a date." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Now you're just full of shit," she said. "It's the mask. You should let her meet you without the mask one day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't know about that. When's the last time you went on one?" Although her suggestion surprises him. "Not that simple. My secret ID is connected to yours and Bruce's, it's not my place to reveal those," he points out as police collect the nicely wrapped criminals. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's not what I meant. I meant just run into her without the mask. Meet her as Thomas, not Robin. See how things go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thomas shrugs and doesn't admit he thought of the same thing. "Perhaps. But it's risky." He starts to drive the car away. "But you still don't get to meet her," he shoots. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will meet her," Maria said confidently. She would meet this woman. "Let's go home. I'm hungry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not if I have any say." But unfortunately he probably won't. "Sure." He's not going to point out it was her turn to drive. They switched after car chases after all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's a barely audible mutter that sounded like 'as nosy as Dick' as he turns to drive them back to the cave. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Unfortunate for me it seems," he says and meets her grin with a disapproving glare. This was like that time in highschool Dick found out he'd been seeing someone for a few months and had pestered endlessly to try and get information about it. Of course it had to end up that Dick was just 'conveniently' driving by at the end of school one day, and oh what a wonderful opportunity to meet you, Thomas has told me so much! The withering glare he'd given Dick had only gotten him a cheery and whispered "No bat glaring in public!" Darn big brothers.

	Maria just laughed. "There's a burger joint on the next block. Stop and I'll buy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She'll get a 'well fine' glare. At least when it came to glaring, this apple didn't fall too far from the tree either. The gleaming batmobile rolls silently into the drive-through as if looking for some unsavoury people to rough up, and rolls its windows down.

	"I'll have a double bacon cheeseburger with the works and extra onions, a large fry, a diet coke and a strawberry sundae," Maria said with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And could we get some extra little packets of mayonnaise and ketchup? Thanks." He hadn't ordered fries for a reason. He planned on stealing hers. As they roll up to the window to pay, Thomas gives the comically stunned employee a friendly smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Even we get hungry," Huntress said and gave the teen a smile. "Make sure you give him a tip." She nudged Thomas. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What happened to "I'll buy"?" He whispers back. Admitting, however reluctantly and in a roundabout way, to having some sort of private life surely would earn him a burger! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh I'm buying," she said and handed over some cash. "But you're getting the tip." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-07-10 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Scrooge. Can't even give the poor kid a tip." Thomas hands over the money and then a tip he fishes out from his belt. "Night," he waves to the teen as they drive off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2012-07-10 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	"I just bought you dinner," she said. "You can handle the tip." She grabbed the bag and started digging the food out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh huh," he rolls his eyes and swipes some fries as he continues driving. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria swatted his hand when he stole some fries. "You should have gotten your own." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-07-12 03:06 am UTC (link)
	"And miss the opportunity to steal yours? Never," he smirks and swipes more to continue munching on as he drives. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2012-07-15 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Brat," she said and stuck her tongue out at him. She didn't make any attempt to keep the fries away from him though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-07-15 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	"I hate you too," he teased and accepted what was essentially an okay to steal fries. "And I'm quite sure he gave you more bacon than me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
