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.

	"But will there be handcuffs involved," she asks without missing a beat. Then just blushes slowly because she can't believe she just said that. Oh dear this is awkward. Just act casual. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Okay that has him amused. "Like always. What fun would it be if there wasn't some lock picking involved?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Very sedate," she allows with a soft chuckle. It feels like she hasn't left. She can't stop herself from stealing a quick kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's smiling now and steals a kiss of his own. It's been a while since he's felt this happy, and it really did feel like she had never left. "Now that I know you don't hate me anymore...this makes today easier. Let's hit the shelf place and later maybe something to eat?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We'll need to pick up paint. Also brushes and stuff," she reminds him. "I know this place near here that does good for prices." She bites her lower lip softly. "Food does sound good though. I admit that I'm starting to crave something but I'd rather see if we can find shelves first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-10 12:26 am UTC (link)
	"Right, paint too," he says as he manages to untangle himself from her. "Like I said, food later. I need to go feed you don't I?" He throws her a smile, clearly happy at how this has turned out, and gives her a quick kiss again, taking advantage of them getting along so well, before starting the car again to head to the nearby store.

	She has a feeling that they will be touching a great deal for a while. She won't say no. She very much enjoyed their cramped smuggle. She slowly extracted herself from the car and made sure it was locked before she followed after him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He waits patiently for her and adjusts his sunglasses as they enter the store. "We looking for anything specific?" He glances around the store, he doesn't see anything he'll have a problem setting up but he's not sure what she has in mind really. He'll just go along with it for now.

	"I'm not sure," she admits. "Something a little bright. Sturdy too. No Ikea products in that room." She winked at him playfully and smirked softly as they got closer to the store. Of course seeing people had her tense and she hovered closer to him because she really didn't like not feeling at her best. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"About time you learnt that Ikea is no substitute for real furniture." Although he does turn a bit so she can't see that he isn't smiling as much as he normally would have at the playful joke. It just reminded him of this whole...situation.

He turns back after the moment passes and notices she seems nervous. Have to keep it together, at least for her sake. Thomas leans over a bit to whisper in her ear, "Recon and acquisition," he gently reminds her. "We're undercover and just scoping out the place. Raise no suspicions." He's trying to pull this off as a mission type thing, hoping it'll make her feel more comfortable.

	"Well that and I don't like their idea of shelving," she admits. That actually helps. She gives him a tiny smile and starts to look around to see if she could spot something that looked right for a nursery. There was a lot of stuff aimed towards teenagers and kids. Nothing that jumped out and said 'baby' to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He doesn't mention that the last shelves she had from Ikea had met an...unfortunate fate. She'll find him staring and frowning a bit at some children's shelves with little birds all over them. Some of which resemble robins awfully closely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They have Flash themed shelves," she says in surprise. That is just so weird. "Is that a Batman bunk bed?" Oh now she's fighting a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-10 01:34 am UTC (link)
	He's just staring in disbelief at that bunk bed. "And matching sheets..." Oh god where had she taken them? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-10 01:38 am UTC (link)
	"I think we need a different store," she decided with a soft sigh. "I refuse to give our son ideas on the kind of shenanigans we allow." Of course now there is a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. This was pretty funny. "I think there's a place across the street?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah...let's get out of here," he says, already backing out of the store. Batman sheets. What was this world coming to?

"Oh? Like no jumping off tall buildings I suppose, even though that is tons of fun," he shoots her a small smile.

They leave as fast as possible, Thomas ignoring her giggling over more Batman-themed merchandise, and to the other store before she has a chance to see the bedroom display of an entirely Batman-themed toddler's room. No way was he allowing this place to give her ideas.

	She had snuck a store catalog into her purse. She was going to tease him the first time she set a crib up. "Not until he's fifteen. Not.... solo anyways," she decides very firmly. Sorry Thomas but she won't budge on that. "Besides, I think that other place might have something more to our tastes," motioning to the displays in the front windows. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-10 02:04 am UTC (link)
	He raises an eyebrow at her, "You thought about that already? About crimefighting?" That honestly shocked him. It hadn't yet occured to him to even think about that. Well, he had just learnt about this kid recently so he couldn't be blamed. No Batman sheets in the display. He'd be cautiously optimistic about that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not seriously. Sometimes it feels like he's trying to back-flip or something. But I think that's just my body not adjusting easily to this." She decides to go in and right away decides she doesn't like most of these shelves. Too dark looking for her tastes and too dark for a child. For the most part. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-10 02:28 am UTC (link)
	"I thought you said you wanted something...bright?" Because nothing here was looking very bright. All things given he prefered dark colours but probably not for a kid's room. ...This might mean they were going back to the store with the abomination that was that Batman rooom. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-10 02:33 am UTC (link)
	"This isn't.....Yeah. Um. Let's go back?" She looks bothered by how dark the products in this shop are. "They're too grown up for a baby's room." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-10 02:37 am UTC (link)
	"Go...back? To the other store with the Batman bedsheets?!" The look on his face tells her he doesn't think it's a good idea. "But...yeah this isn't for a nursery." He takes her hand and pulls her out of the store, hoping she really isn't going to consider buying any bat merchandise. What if she liked Superman? He might die. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-10 02:40 am UTC (link)
	She can't help the small smile that appears on her face. Slowly she rubs his hand with her thumb as they head back to the other store. And it's okay Thomas, Sarah isn't a fan of primary colors like that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-10 02:49 am UTC (link)
	He'll be very happy about that. No Superman stuff for his kid, nope. Batman stuff he can deal with. But only a little bit. They're soon standing outside the previous store, he's still holding her hand, "You sure you want to go here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-10 02:53 am UTC (link)
	She paused as they were outside the store. She's suddenly hungry for something really odd. "I.... think I want bacon?" She looks really confused by that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
