The flow of drugs through Gotham was like a tidal wave most of the time, but occasionally Huntress and Robin managed to stem the tide. Huntress had been working for weeks gathering information on her latest targets. She had been watching, tracking and collecting information on all people involved. She was almost ready to make a move. Almost.

Tonight she was following a shipment. She knew how they were coming into the city, who was receiving them, who was moving them, but the final destination before they hit the streets was the unknown. Tonight she would find out and then they all could be taken down.

She watched from her rooftop perch across the street from the warehouse.

	The crossbow lowered. "How the hell was I supposed to know you were going to do that?" She got closer to him, almost in his face. "For all that I knew you were just trying to steal the drugs!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He gets right back in her face, scowling back. "So your answer is start shooting. So there would be no van to follow anywhere. Great." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The scowl did nothing to her. She was used to scowls. Uncle Bruce was the king of scowls. "Better than having the drugs on the street," Huntress said. "I did what was necessary given the circumstances and I'm done defending my actions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Likewise, her bat-attitude does nothing to remotely back him down anywhere. "Fine, then at least we're both done not accomplishing anything. So you can go find something useful to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Next time you encroach on someone else's turf, you may want to give them a head's up. We could've brought them down had I know what side you were on." A pause. "Huntress." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just because anyone who puts on dark colors and the bat symbol thinks they own Gotham doesn't mean they do. And, of course, the Bats have such a great record at working cooperatively with other people. No thank you. I did the work to track the cartel from Mexico into the city. Not the big, bad bats." pause. "Skanda." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You think I think I own Gotham? Please." She rolled her eyes. "You don't know me. You may know the previous Bats, but not me. I'd just like a head's up if I'm going to be sharing turf with someone. So I don't mistakenly kick their ass."

She smirked a bit. It was hard for Maria to be serious all of the time.

"Skanda, as in the Hindu god who was the son of Shiva, or as the guardian of Buddhist monasteries, or am I totally off the mark?"

Maria didn't take responsibility well, but she did have a brain. One that Bruce and her parents made sure was educated in religions, philosophy, art, music, history, math and sciences.

	That, at least, surprises him enough to get a hint of a smile. "Some of all the above." he agrees. "Which helps make up for you thinking you could kick my ass." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Son of Shiva. It brought to mind connections Maria wasn't sure if she wanted to make. It could mean problems, but those were issues to worry about some other day. "Something that I can prove some other day. You've had enough disappointments for one night." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Any time you'd like to try. Seeing as neither of us got what we wanted tonight, it looks like I'll be in town for a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Huntress smiled and patted his cheek. "I like you. Maybe we can team up sometime in the future." She started walking away, stopped, blew him a kiss and then started climbing down the fire escape. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, he's sure that would go over real well. Somehow, he doubts she'd care for his methods. On the other hand - at least if she's going to get in the way, she's cute. He lets her go off her direction, heading the other. Time to come up with a new plan. (Reply to this)(Parent)
