Happy Birthday Marissa
Maria wasn't exactly sure what to get Marissa for her birthday, but she had to get something. It was Marissa's eighteenth birthday and that was a big one. Maria remembered hers quite fondly. It was the birthday that ended up sitting in jail cell for a few hours. The memory made her smile.

Maria had gone the safe route in terms of a gift. A certificate for the works at a great spa Maria recently found and the best Belgian truffles. The gifts were accompanied by a card and Maria urged Marissa to go raise some hell on her birthday and to have fun.

	Maxine got Marissa a 50 dollar Amazon.com card and a card telling her happy birthday and telling her they should hang out. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Dinah got Marissa a new laptop (but only considered it gift presentable after she'd wiped most of it, installed a new hard drive, and uploaded her software she'd written herself). (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Marissa hooked up the laptop and quickly sent Dinah an email. You couldn't resist making the spacebar a bat, could you? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Marissa had forgotten about her own birthday and was startled into remembering it when she received Maria's gift. Still a little bewildered, Marissa tracked her down, ostensibly to thank her.

"So. My boyfriend's dead, Terry's about as much fun as a root canal, and I can't ask Dinah to go anywhere without the chance of Riley showing up and annoying me." She held up the card. "You say I should raise some hell. I may need some guidance on exactly how to do that. You game?"

Maria had been working on her bike. Her baby had been wrecked when she had her accident and Maria was hellbent on getting her back on the road. The cast on her right arm made it more difficult to work, but she wasn't going to give up.

"Oh hey," Maria said looking up. "I'm always gave for raising some hell. As long as it doesn't end up in a jail cell. Been there. Done that. Not fun."

Maria smiled. "Happy birthday."

	"I think Bruce would in fact harm one or both of us if we ended up in a jail cell. I'm eighteen going on seven as far as he's concerned." She smiled, then took a good look at the bike. "Do you want some help with that? Three arms are better than one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-06-15 12:37 am UTC (link)
	"Sure," she said. "My Bruce wasn't thrilled about having to bail me out of jail on my eighteenth birthday, but damn that was one helluva a birthday. I was hoping to top it with twenty one, but oh well. What can one do?" "Got any plans?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Those sill count as plans," Maria smiled. "Take it from me, take the night off from kicking ass and have some fun. One night off won't hurt." Maria thought about it for a second. "Ever been to a strip club? There's a great one with male strippers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Marissa laughed, though it kind of came out as a weird choking noise.

"No,I can't say that I've been to a strip club. I beat the crap outta a thug in front of one once, but never have I actually been in one."

She weighed the options of this one-night-off thing.

"I have something I need to do tonight but if you want to head out around midnight, I'd be game. Probably do me some good."

	"Sure. It will give me time to work on my bike." It had been awhile since Maria went out to have fun. She took her night job seriously and had been spending most of her time trying to find out stuff for Jon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Marissa was like a little sister to Terry, so of course he was going to get her something nice for her birthday. He didn't have a lot of money, but being Bruce's personal assistant paid well enough so that he could get her a nice necklace.

And the next time Marissa went in the Batcave (he told her to take as much time as she needed off, with what had happened to Keith and everything), she would find a brand new bike, that he had built from the floor up, in the Robin colors with her symbol on the side.

Throwing herself back into work was the only thing making her stay sane (that and helping Tim, but no one knew that but her, really) so it made sense to her that on her birthday (at least the wee hours) she'd make her way to the Cave, complete with the pretty Tiffany box from Terry.

She had managed to open it and was really excited about the necklace--Tiffany blue was close to robin's egg blue, right?--when she came face to fender with the bike.

"HOLY SHIT BATMAN!"

	Mia called, but got a voicemail for Mia. She left a thank you just the same and asked her to tell Dinah she'd be back in Star City to help with...Keith's things soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Marissa would track Lily down when she was at the tower to catch up with Mitzi. With all the hang-out requests, Marissa was starting to think that girl's night was in order. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Mitzi wasn't sure what to get Marissa and heard about her loss. She got Marissa a Chicken Soup for the Girlfriend's Soul book and left a note inside. I know what it is to lose someone important to you. If you ever want to talk, my door is open. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-14 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	Marissa wasn't intentionally stalking Mitzi, but it was the Bat way to exist in the shadows and get the drop on people as it were. So after receiving Mitzi's note, Marissa went to the Tower and then waited for Mitzi to show up. "Technically your door was closed, but I figured that was because you were out."

	Tim can't give Marissa much that she doesn't already have, so he provides Robin something she can use: a collapsable bo staff of her own, with a note attached. She would be proud of you. Meanwhile, Tim gets started on his patrol. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-14 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	Marissa sent Tim a text. Doesn't matter when he gets it, so long as he does. Thanks. :) (Reply to this)(Parent)
