Bendy time/Positive reinforcement
A certain fox has the night off. This meant she needed to do something fun. What better than to enjoy a night out under one of her aliases while having fun? A really fancy dress that would make a grown man whimper because it looked damn good on her, with darker hair too. She made sure that it made her look dramatically different to fit the alias just right.

It helped the Sophia, her persona tonight, was known in the right circles as a lover of the arts. It made sense that she was at a very high end art show at one of Gotham's museums.

No one questioned her presence and she was getting away with her natural eye color tonight. She was also having fun listening to a prominent artist talk about one of the more odd looking sculptures on display tonight. She was going to be really happy once she got home.

	"It's Sophia or you. It's unlikely to be me but either way, keep driving." He knows these guys will want to make a move soon. When that happens he'll take over the wheel from her whether she wanted to or not. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Right." She tries to look casual as she sits back up. She adjusts her hair and keeps on driving. Right now she is glad she has such a sporty little car. Good for making escapes if she has to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He leans against his door, looking bored from their followers' position, and keeps track of the people in the other car and their movements. After a few blocks and some turns they were still on their tail and looking like they were going to start their plan soon. "Don't react but it looks like they'll make their move soon."

	"Of course they are," she mutters bitterly. She had been looking forward to having fun. She does though make sure to change their route just enough to make it look like she wasn't sure where she was going. For the sake of the people following them. And now the car behind them speeds up and Sarah can see them getting ready to make a move. Oh come on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He looks back quickly and sees both the men pull out guns. "Step on it now!" Damnit he didn't have his uniform, but that's fine. He wouldn't want Sarah or an alias of hers connected to Robin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And she does! Her car has pep so they speed up pretty fast. "Should have taken my shoe off," she grouses. Sometimes high heels get in the way of car chases. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now he doesn't need to be subtle about looking behind them. The car is right on their heels. One of the men opens the window and pulls out his gun to take a shot. "Give me the wheel and get down!" He grabs the wheel and violently turns so the tires protest but the first shots miss them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She gets down. Her foot presses down a little harder on the gas. She hadn't meant to do that but it was a nervous reaction. She really hopes they don't get shot. Robin just got better for crying out loud. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He glares at the gunmen and decides this isn't going to work. "Switch seats and keep your head down," he hisses. If they wanted a car chase then fine. These idiots would get a real car chase. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This is complicated. The car barely has a back seat. It's almost too small for that. But as a thief she can get back there With enough time for Thomas to jump into her former seat. He is fast after all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He slides in from the passenger's seat into the driver's just as she gets out. They've timed this well and the car stays in control during it.

Now pedal to the metal. He floors it and the tires screech as they zoom forward, weaving through traffic at break-neck speeds. The way the car swerves so close to others might have someone panic, but Thomas has done this before. Granted, as nice as this car was it was no Batmobile but it'd do just fine.

	The sad thing is? She gets stuck now. This dress isn't maneuverable in the skirt area and his driving had made her slide around. But at least she was safe! The gun men wouldn't easily see her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He can only see her from the corner of his eye occasionally but...was she...stuck?

"Sarah...did you get yourself stuck?" He's smirking not laughing now, he'll laugh later, right now he needs to concentrate on getting them away in one piece.

The engine protests as he doesn't ease off the gas at all and keeps them almost at top speed as much as he can. But the streets are narrower and more crowded here so he'll need to slow down and get out soon. Maybe hit the highway and lose them near an exit, before winding his way through the emptier streets and get to one of the abandoned garages they have around.

	"Yes. This dress wasn't made to move around in. No slips in the skirt," she says calmly. "It's pretty but not very functional." He might hear her wiggle the 'oof' as air gets knocked out of her. Now she peaks up then gives a soft yelp as she ducks. "Oh my God. Where did you learn to drive?!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Now he outright laughs. It's so gleeful that it's clear he's not only laughing at her getting stuck, but relishing in this. He hasn't had a good car chase in a while.

"Hold on tight and stick as far to the left side of the car as you can. We'll need all weight on this side," he instructs then grins as he violently spins the wheel left and they go careening off into a narrow alley, the whole car tipping to the left to get them to fit as they zoom through.

"He has a very thorough stunt driving course!" He shouts over all the noise, devilish smirk still stuck on his face. It's clear though who the he is.

	"Oh my god my poor car!" She does as he says. She also has to make sure her disguise stays on firmly. And Thomas? Will get cursed at extensively in French. His driving is insane and scares his thief. Amusingly? These guys chasing are barely keeping up now. Bullets pour after them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There may be some gleeful cackling within all that noise. "It'll survive!" He shouts back at her in French.

They speed through a few alleys, barely each time though, and put more distance between them and their pursuers. There's a highway entrance not far but he sees a spot where the railing is missing (probably from some car crash he thinks) farther along and past the entrance. It's not too high over the highway either...

"Hold on tight!"

	"Why? What are you..... " And she just gasps and ducks. He is insane! Utterly insane! Her heart just thuds away in her chest and she doesn't dare look! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Perhaps he is. Thomas just grins madly and zooms towards the gap with their pursuers coming right behind.

The car flies off the edge and they feel wieghtless for a brief moment before there's a violent thud that shakes the whole car as they hit the highway (thankfully quite empty) below at full speed.

The pursuers only realize at the last moment what he's doing and miss their chance of jumping off too. In their shock over the stunt he pulls they crash into the railing farther along.

"Got them!"

	Sarah is so glad her car is light enough to pull this off. She thought she might have a heart attack. She just peers over the seat at him looking a little worse for wear. But they're safe. "....We in the clear?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-03-26 03:46 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, they weren't very good and crashed," he answers quite casually. Then he just grins. "That turned out more fun than I thought." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-03-26 03:49 am UTC (link)
	"You're crazy." She hasn't stopped speaking in French. She forgets what language she should speak in when she's stressed out. English isn't her native language either. "I.... do not think I feel like eating out. Sophia may need to disappear for a while, yes?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-03-26 03:52 am UTC (link)
	"Oh and you got yourself unstuck. Good job Foxy," he teases back, in French. "Yeah she'll need to disappear for a bit. But no reason we can't go eat. Doesn't need to be in public." He's in a very good mood, still pumped on all that adrenaline, the grin has not disappeared. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do you know the safe house with the...." She is switching back to English slowly. Her voice really does have a heavy French accent when she's stressed. It says more about her, really. "How you say.... Fire place? Oui? It's closer to a few carry out places. I would prefer that over cooking tonight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He hasn't wiped the smile off his face just yet. And he likes the French accent on her. It tells him more about her, and that's always nice.

"Yes, that one had some of your better security," he compliments. "There's a old warehouse not too far from there, let me park and we'll go."

"But first..." He leans over and kisses the somewhat disheveled and startled fox then smirks. "You're welcome."
