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.

	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)

	"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)

	"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."

	"I will need to change the plates on the car tomorrow, perhaps," she said when he mentioned the warehouse. And she might have melted a bit from that kiss. It helped get her back to the point where she didn't act as shocked. "Merci. I am not very good at.... car chases." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-03-26 04:12 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, someone might have decided to remember the plates of the flying car," he laughs. Giving her a warm smile he teases, "Good thing you have the...how'd you put it? 'Crazy' one." He turns back to drive the last few blocks and park the car. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thought you might kill us." She rolls her eyes though because she should know better. She will need to climb out of the back once they get there. She wishes she had worn something with a slit in the skirt so she could move better. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pfft, what kind of amateur do you take me for?" He parks inside the abandoned warehouse, it wasn't one of the official bat ones, just one he took note of, and gets out and goes to open a door for her. "Need help? Just checking if you got stuck again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-03-26 04:20 am UTC (link)
	"I am not stuck but.... I would like the help," she decides holding out her hand for him to grab. She doesn't feel like fighting him on anything at the moment. He could probably get away with a few things right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He takes her hand and carefully helps her out. He's unusually smiley tonight. "Never a dull moment around you huh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I did not expect to be targeted," she says honestly. "It was supposed to be a peaceful night. I am.... sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It wasn't a complaint," he points out. "And you don't need to apologize. Did I say anything negative about tonight? Even with that car chase?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No. But I do seem to be a trouble magnet," she points out. She feels a little guilty over the whole thing. "At least we were unhurt." She quirks a faint smile. "You seemed to enjoy yourself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
