Thomas and Sarah- Meme- Angst- Seperation (AU)
She'd been gone for months without a word and with no way to trace her. Just vanished into thin air. Had it been anyone else he'd be mad that they could even pull that off without him finding them. But with her...well he'd admit he was more hurt than anything. If she was going to up and leave he'd expected...well at least a goodbye, or some note or something. Not just an empty place and no leads to follow.

Which is why she's the last person he expects to see when he drops by a supermarket in one of the smaller neighbourhoods on his way home. There's an initial moment of shock and then it hits him what she's buying and her...condition. He probably scares a few of the other customers by the way he stands there, eyebrow twitching in anger, and glaring daggers at the young woman innocently making her purchases.

He never makes it home. Instead he follows her, recklessly still in his civilian ID, as far as he can without alerting her to his presence to where she's staying. Still blinded by anger, he doesn't wait till it's completely dark and changes to Robin gear to sneak into her living room ahead of her.

A tall shadow looms behind Sarah's couch, eyebrow still twitching, as she enters.

	"Turkey huh? Where else did you go?" He says this casually as if he's just making small talk, but he really does want to know where she runs to. "No reason it can't be like that again," he smiles. "And this time you won't have to worry about any crimefighters trying to stop you from doing your job." He can't help but tease a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"France. My parents are buried there in the country side.... I don't really have any living family," she adds. "And no one recognizes me. I favored my Mère according to the old man," she looks a little sad. "I also spend some time in Barcelona. I had to take care of a problem I felt needed special handling. It got me out of my.... funk." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm sorry to hear that," he quietly says. He wants to tell her he understands a bit, he's lost his real family. While he has a version of his father and brothers back...it's not the same. He won't even think about his mother because that depresses him too much. "...I'm sure she was very beautiful then." This was hard, he wanted to get off the topic of mothers and family but at the same time he wanted to learn more about hers.

"Really? What was this thing that got you out of your funk? Other than nice weather I guess."

	"I got to mess up a heist a thief I strongly dislike was running." She looks proud. "He never even saw me.... And let's just say I strongly object to things be taken from groups trying to help people who need it. You don't hurt people who are already bad off. It's stupid," she huffs.

	Okay he can't help it. He stops massaging her back and instead pulls her back so that her head is resting on his lap and gives her a sudden kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That had her squweak a little because he had</> surprised her. But no complaining from her. She did like getting kisses from him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-13 12:21 am UTC (link)
	When he's finally done surprising her he pulls back and just grins. Sure he'd always found her attractive, and the breaking into things was just an added bonus, but her version of 'crimefighting' somehow just made her that much more appealing. He couldn't help it, being mad or annoyed went on the backburner for a moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She couldn't help the entertained look she sent his way. "I guess I should give you the security videos I had to steal to keep myself safe if you get that kind of a reaction," she can't help but say. She's very pleased he was happy with that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Depends," he smirks down at her. "Will you be there when I watch them or no?" Yes he wanted those tapes, it'd be like a birthday present to him. His thief fighting crime. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe," she can't help but smile. "It might be a good idea. We could have popcorn too." Oh god they were flirting again. This should be weird because of their time apart but it feels good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

How did she manage to push all his buttons? In the good way. He really needed to figure that out. But first he steals a quick kiss and just grins again.

"Popcorn to watch a certain thief fight crime. I'm kinda proud now," he teases. This definitely felt good, to have her in his lap and flirting again. Of course these moments of what they used to be couldn't ever last long but he was already relishing in them.

	"If you let me up..... I could actually go get it," she offers. Also her hip is now nearly freezing from her ice pack. "And you could do the popcorn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Well we've got one wall down. Let's call this a break?" He puts the ice pack to the side and helps her up before leaving to go find her popcorn. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She can't help that smile she flashes him. Then she moves to where she has that stuff hidden knowing Thomas will be busy tracking down where she keeps the popcorn. "That works." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-13 01:42 am UTC (link)
	When he's done making the popcorn he brings a bowl of it back to her couch and sits down while smirking. "At this rate that room will take longer than we thought." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If we don't finish today we can just cover the can and finish it tomorrow," she points out as she slips the DVD in. "And by we I mean you. My back won't like me if I try 'helping' again.

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-13 01:51 am UTC (link)
	"We'll probably have to do that." As she sits he offers her the popcorn. Thomas chuckles a little, "Glad you agree, makes my job easier. And I usually don't skip Robin stuff, it'd be suspicious if I did." He swipes some of the popcorn. "The nap did help a bit..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She perked up nibbling at a few pieces as she sat down next to him. She grabbed her remotes to turn the TV and DVD player on and hit play. "You're going to love this," she promises. "I'm in disguise. Look for the little old lady with the pepper grey and black hair." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-13 02:09 am UTC (link)
	He chuckles and puts an arm around her. This felt nice, kind of like old times. "Do I get to see you beat people?" He whispers it in Farsi in her ear and he realizes how long it's been since he's used the language. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No. I wasn't going to risk anyone hurting the baby. Besides, I knew I could pull it off without fighting. Watch." She leans against him carefully. In the video the Old Lady is planting several small devices in the potted plants inside the building. "See those? They give off smoke. The kind that sets off fire alarms. I rigged them up."

	He can't keep the smirk off his face. What? It was 'his' thief and she was fighting crime. Well it counted as fighting crime technically. "Can't wait to see this," there's a particularly mischevious smirk now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She can't help but giggle the way he's so pleased. Or filled with mischief. Either reaction would please her.

"I loved it."

The Old Lady moved carefully through out the building. She looked like part of the cleaning crew actually. She set up several more of these on different floors as she made her 'rounds'.

Once she was done she tugged at a gaudy looking necklace hanging low around her neck. Smoke went off not just there but according to the video which showed several other floors the smoke went everywhere. Unusual enough that guards would quickly start crawling all over the whole building. There was no way anyone would escape.

	He watches the old lady set up all her devices and when the smoke goes off there's dark but somewhat gleeful chuckling. And that mischevious smirk is there the whole time. Sarah will be getting pulled into a kiss the moment he takes his eyes of the video. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She really doesn't mind. That had been a good clean job.Her arms loosely wrap around his neck and relaxes into the kiss. She doesn't think this will complicate things at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Them kissing was probably the most normal pre-running thing. There was far more that could complicate things, so he really doesn't see the problem with this. Plus she was crimefighting, that was rare enough that a few rules could fly out the window.

"I hope you don't mind but...you crimefighting is surprisingly hot..." Okay he's not annoyed about the painting anymore, this made up for that.
