Sometime in the future
It's been a long and hard night of detective work for Thomas. A rash of killings has hit Gotham and the victims seem unconnected no matter what angle they've looked at. Was it the beginnings of a gang war or a random killer on the loose? So far interrogating the scum all over the city has been useless. They know nothing. Not in the way where they know something and aren't telling, but they genuinely don't know anything about the mystery killer or killers he's hunting. He's not sure if the possibility that this is an isolated individual should relieve him or not, after all, so far they've got no real evidence that it's even one killer or that these killings are related. But there's no such thing as coincidence for a detective.

Thomas decides to rest at one of the nearby satellite caves Batman has set up around Gotham over the years, it's cold and rainy and he's sick of hitting dead ends. This is one of the smaller ones, stocked with basic gear, a civilian change of clothes, first aid and some food. It also happens to be the one he's told the Fox about. Not that he'd admit to doing that if any of the others asked. But if she wanted to find him or needed help, he wanted her to have a safe spot to go. Maybe that's why he seems to gravitate towards this one whenever he can, it's not like he ever expects her there though.

He shakes out the rain from his cape as he enters and is about to peel of the mask when he sees the bleeding figure on the floor.

He files that information away for late, most of the old organized crime elements don't like the crazier criminals, even the themed ones. But not all of them, this narrows her employers down a bit.

"I doubt he'd be happy to hear he's got one on his payroll, which just tells me that this guy isn't your common mob enforcer."

That is a problem...he can keep her here but the repurcussions that might come down on her because of a few days off...well not good to say the least. "What do you suggest we do then? If he's going to panic after only a few days he sounds like a problematic employer. You really should look into a new one."

	"Robin...." She shakes her head. "You know I can't promise you that. My job is dangerous." Her situation is dangerous. She won't admit the head of the Family has gotten mean before. She won't admit that she's terrified her reason for doing this is a sham. There's so much she can't say. "I think I told you too much tonight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hmm I'll have to do a thourough search then. And not let anything get away." He's smirking back and enjoying thinking of this scenario. The next comment has him pause and raise an eyebrow, "...you can take as many of them as you want. You don't even need to wear them...at all." Okay, she got him that time. Well played Foxy.

	He really is doing a good job. She had a good reason to trust him. Once he is done she lets her lower back go back against the bed. Then she lets out a low sigh. That was better. "Thanks," she croaks softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wouldn't say no to a shirt," Sarah decides. "I can't stay like this the whole time I'm here." She also wants to clean off the drying blood before it becomes an issue latter. Cleaning blood that has already dried always bugs her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thomas leaves to go find a shirt and a glass of water, he had given her that morphine to take dry. Gently tossing her a shirt before handing over the water he teases, "Well you did say you'd like to be curled up here wearing one of my shirts..." He'll get her one more her size for the next time he comes to check up on her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thomas chuckles at her almost swimming in his shirt. "It's mostly height. Besides, my armour seems a lot lighter than yours." Thank you obsessive Batman and lightweight armour. How else would he do all those flips? "You look better wearing my shirts than I do," he just smirks at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like knowing my insides are well protected. Too bad the armor didn't save me from that son of a bitch," she mutters darkly. It was probably crazy she could pull off similar moves in her armor but she had trained to do that. "Well to be fair.... I have nicer breasts," she points out cockily.

	He gently places his hand on her shoulder,"It's not a miracle worker. We all get caught off guard sometimes, don't dwell on it too much." That gets a smirk, "I've noticed. And I'm very willing to let you win in that category any day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She blinks because he just and pulled her back from the edge. Somehow. That leaves her blushing faintly up at him for a moment. She had never needed someone to rescue her from herself before. Now she's chuckling and smirking up at him. "Well good. It would be disturbing if you tried competing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Okay, she's got him laughing. "I'm sure most women would lose to you. We should check to make sure this isn't an isolated incident though, you'll need to try on my other shirts too. Just to check." She'll get another of many smirks right back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
