Happy birthday Thomas (backdated to the 27th)
Thomas was tough to shop for, but Maria managed to find a few things for him. She got a new collar for his cat. Pink with rhinestones. She also wrote out a note that gave him off a night of patrol duty and she would take it for him. He would also get a shirt. She also got him a gift card to Best Buy for a few hundred dollars.

She made him some cupcakes to go with his gifts.

Thomas and Mr. Paws both had the same opinion of the collar, but he tossed it to his cat for Mr. Paws to have fun destroying it and leaving rhinestones in Maria's room. But he appreciated the gift nonetheless, because it was still a fun plaything for Mr. Paws. The night off was always a good thing, he'd still go out for a fun swing around, maybe break into a few places for the hell of it or find some other fun. The gift card he'd certainly have fun using.

She'd see Thomas sitting on the back of the couch, wearing the Batman shirt and eating a cupcake as Mr. Paws pounced about on the cushions by his feet, hunting the collar. And yes he was there because anyone going about the main parts of the manor or heading to the batcave tended to go through here.

	"He's supposed to wear the collar," Maria said as she passed through and noticed the cat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He prefers to hunt it," Thomas shrugged and smirked with a hint of pride. "Try telling a cat not to do what he wants." He held out another cupcake. "Cupcake? Someone being nice for once gave me a bunch." "Thanks for the birthday gifts Maria." Genuine smile there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No thank you. Watching my girlish figure and it's your birthday, not mine." Maria smiled. "You're welcome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thomas rolled his eyes. "Your girlish figure goes patrolling every night, it can handle a cupcake, so have one," he insisted. "And yeah, I mean it. Thanks," he smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you insist," she said and took the offered cupcake. "I know you're my uncle, who I say is my cousin, but you're really like a brother to me and I'm really glad you're here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not like I could pull uncle authority on you anyway. And glad I met you. Thanks for the night off on top of all this. And yes, you got me to wear a Batman shirt. Gloat away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eye roll. "Not like I'd be allowed to wear this shirt in public anyway you know." Mr. Paws batted a freed pink rhinestone at Maria, then went back to happily pouncing on his present. Because it was his now. "He enjoys the present too it seems." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Thomas laughed briefly. "Oh come on, you know the lengths he goes to to make sure there absolutely no association between him and Batman whatsoever. You don't want people to even consider it, so you don't give them a reason to connect the two, even jokingly. I mean, he's not going to wear a Batman shirt or show up to some Halloween thing dressed as even a campy Batman. And I'm not going to go around wearing a Robin shirt for the same reasons. Associations. Though under a jacket or something it doesn't matter."

"Whatever, I have cupcakes and the night off. Want to go wreck havoc tomorrow or something?"

	"Hiding in plain sight is better," she said with a shrug and letting the topic drop. Maria smiled. "You know I'm always up for wrecking havoc. Particularly if there's a substantial amount of alcohol involved." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wouldn't have put forth the offer to you if it didn't involve havoc with alcohol," he smirked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah couldn't make it out to Gotham (Titans thing in NYC), but she was sure to send a present out for Thomas. In this particular, a racing computer game she'd programmed herself, that featured such vehicles as the Bat-Plane, the Bug, the Invisible Jet, the T-Jet, and more. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Certainly a unique gift, and one he thoroughly enjoyed. Of course he mainly played as the Batwing, but the others were fun to try out and race against. He was pretty sure that one ship was the kryptonian rocket Supes had arrived in. Nice detail there.

He sent her a thanks along with a short clip of the end of a race with the Batwing beating out the Bug at the finish line. The smirk could practically be heard in the message.
