Late Night
Maria was not happy. The drug ring should have been broken up tonight, but HE got in the way. She went back to Wayne Manor and had tried to go to sleep. It was not to happen. Her mind wouldn't let it rest. Instead she went down to the gym to workout and think things through.

"Can't sleep is pretty normal around here," he responds and gets out of the chair, taking off his cape and leaving it there. He was still in uniform, but no mask and now no cape.

Thomas walked over and leaned against one of the pieces of equipment with crossed arms. "So what's on your mind?"

"I almost had it," she said and hit the bag hard. "Almost had that drug ring busted up."

Ah, well that explained it a bit. Though she was really pissed off for it. "If it's that mind-blowingly annoying imbecile who screwed up my primary attempt on the arms ring, then I say we team up and ban him from Gotham. But I suspect it wasn't him. So what happened?"

"It wasn't him," Maria said. "Someone else. Someone new to Gotham. Not sure if he's sticking around or was just passing through."

...That didn't sound good. "What was he like? And how did he mess up your takedown?"

"Big, muscular, got some great moves," Maria said. Also quite hot, but she wasn't going to mention that. "Skanda was his name. Think he may be related to Lady Shiva."

Maria hit the bag. "I thought he was trying to steal the van full of drugs. Didn't know he was trying to break up the ring."

"...Lady Shiva?" Shit. "I'm guessing he wasn't working with exclusively non-lethal methods..."

"Yes, well he shouldn't have barged in and messed up what you had like that. You'd know the local branch of this ring better than him."

"I don't think he killed anyone," she said with a shrug. "Yeah, but we were both trying to do the same thing. We just got in each other's way."

"It's Shiva related, best check to be sure." For some reason, he didn't think the guy did non-lethal much.

"If that's so, then why are you mad?"

"Not really mad, more frustrated. I worked on taking down that ring for a long time. I'm trying to come up with a new way to bring them down."

Potential Shiva kid in town was worrying to say the least though. "If he is Shiva's kid...wonder who the father is or why he's working on taking down drug rings..."

"Anyway, need a hand on that? I've been trying to keep tabs on the mob movements since Great White got out but I can free up a hand for the drug rings."

"Nah, probably someone lethal, I don't see that woman agreeing otherwise." He shrugged as he watched her lay into the punching bag. "Alright, offer is always there as you know."

Thomas looks pointedly at her abused punching bag. "Mhmm, not exactly this type of surprise it seems."

Thomas just shakes his head and roll his eyes. Typical. "Oh well that explains so much."

"What? I just said he was hot. It's not like I'm going to jump into bed with him." Though now that she thought about it, it wasn't such a bad idea.

"I'm going to pretend I don't see the wheels turning in your head and just point out that it's a likely son of Shiva. Who probably uses lethal means, I'll have to look into their old activity. Wouldn't suggest going that route but then again, your decisions. Just please not in the Batmobile, I like those seats."

"I know," he deadpanned as if he hadn't done the same. "But I had the seats thoroughly cleaned so don't ruin that."

"No, not even at a last resort, that's true. And here you were supposed to be the older more mature one. Crushing expectations left and right huh?"

"Where's the fun in being older and mature?" Maria asked. "From what I've seen it's no fun at all."

"I like how you specify 'seen'. Because you'd need to actually act mature to claim experience," he teased.

Anyone else and she would have slapped them, but she knew he was just teasing. Thomas got a lot of lee way.

"Yeah, yeah. I think I'm going to try to sleep now. Bruce expects me at the office in the morning." She rolled her eyes.

Thomas smirked back, knowing he got leeway and it meant he had to use it here and there.

"Alright, good night. Don't let the bats bite and all that. Have fun with the office stuff."
