Visiting Gotham (Maria)
Sin had gone to Gotham with her mother for a florist's convention for a couple of days (why that convention was in Gotham, who knew, but she was there anyway). And since Sin was in Gotham, she couldn't pass up an opportunity to visit one of her oldest friends. She had called Maria earlier that day and made lunch plans. Sin took a taxi to Wayne Manor. She got out, and walked to the door. She rang the doorbell and waited for Maria.

	"Here's hoping," Maria said as she climbed into the driver's seat. "I doubt it though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sin shrugged. "I'm not really actively looking for anyone, either. If I find someone, I find someone. If not, I have my friends and I have my family. I have everything I need." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's...a very good attitude to have. Mildly surprising." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"See, now that's an environment a child should grow up in," Maria said. Not that she had a bad childhood. It was actually great. Though Bruce was a big influence in her life. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, before that, I was in a small Chinese village with no family where I was raised to be a replacement for Lady Shiva until I was six. Then Dinah found me, then the League of Assassins tried to kidnap me, and my parents had to fake my death and send me away to a monastary. I've learned to be thankful for everything I have."

	"That explains it," Maria said. "I grew up around Bruce. The brooding rubs off on a person." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sin laughed. "The same could be said about Ollie's brashness. Keith is very much his father's son." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Point," Maria said. She started the car and revved the engine. "Hold on." She pulled out of the garage, the tires squealing a bit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sin buckled up, grinning as they took off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria drove toward Gotham. "Where are you living now?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Still in Star City," Sin said. "I recently got my own apartment. I didn't have my own place for awhile, since I'm normally traveling, but I think I'll stay close to home for a little while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-25 01:08 am UTC (link)
	"Remind me that I need to get you a house warming gift," Maria said. "Good for you and I can understand staying close to home." Maria could move anywhere in the world she wanted, but Gotham was home. She had a feeling she'd never leave. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I shall," she said with a smile. "I decided after traveling around so much, I should stay close to home for a little while." "What about you? Do you think you'll ever live anywhere else?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-25 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh hell no," she said. "I'll be in Gotham until the day I die. It kind of grows on a person. Like a fungus." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sin couldn't help but laugh a little. "That's one way of looking at it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-26 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	"It's true," she said. "Gotham does grow on a person." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Guess it has to have since people want to live there." Maria swerved to avoid being hit by a car that cut her off. She yelled and flipped off the driver. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes. Or, people could just be insane, kike my dad says." She smirked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There is that, which I think is the case for a lot of people living in Gotham. Look at me." Maria grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sin smirked. "I wouldn't call you insane, exactly. I'm not as big of a loud mouth as my dad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
