Unexpected Birthday Present
Keith was always thinking of Marissa, and what he put on her. He knew she was dealing with a lot, and now with her birthday here, he wanted to do something special for her. He could take a break from hiding out and make on special appearance for his lovely lady. The process to do so was simple. He called her on a pre-paid cellphone.

	"Marissa Wayne," she answered the phone a little sharply. The box of truffles she was trying to tear into was not cooperating. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Marissa," Keith said. She'd recognize him by his voice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine, Marissa. And I want you to go somewhere. You remember where I sang for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-14 12:48 am UTC (link)
	"Yes I do. What time should I go there?" She smiled a little remembering that. Far different times. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Tonight at 10," he said. "Come alone, okay? This is just something special for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-15 01:29 am UTC (link)
	"Okay. Keith, I love you." At ten, she is waiting there for him, alone just as he asked though she's keeping careful watch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He checked the perimeter before showing himself to Marissa, to make sure that nobody had followed her. It wasn't that he didn't trust Marissa, but Bruce Wayne wasn't know for keeping a loose leash. Besides, paparazzi need not apply.

Thankfully, they were alone. She was good.

"Hey, Marissa," he said as he walked up from the side. He had a bouquet of flowers -- Marissa's favorite kind of flower -- and and small box.

	"Keith!" Marissa ran to close the short distance between them and threw her arms round him, hugging him as though she may not let go. The flowers--and box--went unnoticed for the moment. Her eyes were only on him. "I never thought I'd see you again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The flowers might have gotten a little crushed after the abrupt hug. The box was fine, and so was the something in it. He wrapped the hand with the box as far around Marissa as he could from that position and smiled. "I couldn't abandon you, especially on your birthday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-17 01:41 am UTC (link)
	"I love you." She pulled back after a moment. And noticed the box and flowers. "You...got me flowers and a present? Keith, you're all I need." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2011-06-17 01:46 am UTC (link)
	"I love you, too." He grinned. "You know, I got this present for you a couple months ago. I was planning ahead. And the flowers, well, they're tradition." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-17 01:50 am UTC (link)
	"You spoil me. And the flowers are beautiful. I love them. I'm totally impressed at the thought you put into gifts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2011-06-17 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"I'd never let you down with something crummy. /Especially/ on your birthday." He handed her the box first. Inside was a Cento Circle Pave Pendant Necklace that he'd bought a couple months back. He had a good coach (his mom) and an approving cash cow (his dad). "Happy Birthday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-17 01:59 am UTC (link)
	"Oh Keith!" Her eyes widen and light up. "It's beautiful! Put it on me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2011-06-17 02:10 am UTC (link)
	"Of course," he replied. Keith put the flower down for a moment (luckily the plastic covering them would keep the sand out) to put the necklace on his girlfriend. He even managed to do it without snagging her hair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-17 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	Once the necklace was on she played with the pendant a bit before turning back around and hugging Keith. "Thank you. It...it means everything to me that you're here right now." She kisses him and then just looks at his face. "Please don't go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2011-06-18 06:46 pm UTC (link)
	He holds on to her and stares back into her eyes for a moment, but then looks aside. "I wish I could stay. I really wish I could, but it's not safe you, or my family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-19 01:43 am UTC (link)
	"You can stay, Keith. You can stay and let me help you. What if...what if you die out there? What will I do then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2011-06-19 01:50 am UTC (link)
	"I won't die," he assured her. "This is just something I have to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-19 01:51 am UTC (link)
	"Please, Keith..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2011-06-19 01:55 am UTC (link)
	"Marissa, I know it's hard to understand. It's just something I have to do. I have to make right what I did wrong by doing the right thing. And right now, I can't do that in the public eye." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-19 01:55 am UTC (link)
	"This is about him, isn't it? Keith, that's not on you. It's not." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2011-06-19 01:57 am UTC (link)
	"Him? Who is him?" He didn't get that Marissa somehow knew who he was dealing with. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-19 01:58 am UTC (link)
	"The Artist. The jackass I let kill your sister. Keith...he's gone. I know...I know you killed him and I know that's hard. But he's gone and you've saved countless lives. "Probably mine, because that sonofabitch wanted me for a trophy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2011-06-19 02:00 am UTC (link)
	"...Marissa," Keith said. He took a breathe. A deep one, at that. "He's not dead." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-19 02:02 am UTC (link)
	She already knew this, but this was confirmation and the confirmation was enough that it chilled her. "...that's not possible." If he was alive, she was in danger. Again. Keith's words sent it all home to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2011-06-19 02:06 am UTC (link)
	"That's why I have to be dead, Marissa. So that he won't hurt the people I love just to hurt me. And so I can track him down without him knowing I'm there." He puts his hands on her shoulders. "I won't let him go after you again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2011-06-19 02:08 am UTC (link)
	"You don't understand, Keith...him going after me isn't just about getting at you. He'd be doing it to get to my brother, too. The Artist killed his fiancee several years ago. " (Reply to this)(Parent)
