Happy Birthday Maria (Open)
He wasn't very good with birthdays or gifts but he did leave Maria presents on hers.

There was the usual card saying he'd cover her patrol tonight and any emergencies that cropped up, along with a short hand note about the short cut ways of getting out of police issue handcuffs. He'd included a few shirts too. And to actually include a gift with relatively nice sentiment behind it in the lot, he left her one of those individual sized cakes with 'Happy Me Day' on top with a candle. Okay, so it was bought from a bakery and no Alfred thing, and not really big enough to share much but...birthdays needed cake.

	"It can't be that bad...right?" she said. "I know how awesome you are. Of course I suppose it could have been one of those times when I had one too many drinks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grins, knowing its likely just fine, but it had to be said. "When don't you have one too many drinks when we go out?" he teases. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"When we go out for burgers. Like we're going to do now." Maria grinned. "It is lunchtime and it's on you today." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You'll still have one too many cokes and get all sugared up and incorrigible." he replies, but offers his arm nonetheless. "Shall I fly us there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Please. I don't need any sugar to be incorrigible. I do that just fine on my own." Maria grinned and took the offered arm. "I'd love that." She was wearing her 'Bad Influence' shirt Thomas had gotten her for her birthday. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He pulls her in close, then takes off, knowing they could certainly get there other ways - but this would probably be her preference. "I'll grant that. Incorrigible is your natural state." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria totally took advantage of the situation and held on as tightly as she could. "We all have our special talents," she said. "That just happens to be mine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-04-19 01:44 am UTC (link)
	He was expecting that. And its her birthday, she can get away with it. "One of many." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-04-20 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, but if I told you about my other talents, you'd be a nice shade of crimson." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A smirk. "Which is why I'll doubtless hear about them eventually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-04-21 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	"I could have offered to show them to you," Maria said with a smirk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-04-22 01:37 am UTC (link)
	That gets the expected blush. "Of course you could have." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're adorable when you blush." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I take what I can get," she said with a grin. Not that she hadn't wanted more, but she didn't poach on another girl's guy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-04-22 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Frequently." he agrees, back to amused. "So what've you been up to?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Finally broke up that one drug ring I've been after for some time," she said. Though it still annoyed her that He had gotten involved. She didn't mind sharing Gotham, goodness know Gotham could use all the help it could get, she did mind having her toes stepped on. "And the usual. Work. Charity gigs. Kicking ass."

	"Well, at least you're keeping yourself busy. You want to do another karaoke night? Jo wants to go, Alina is up for it. I was thinking of maybe seeing if Annie wanted to go too. Stick strictly with people who want to be there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd love to." Maria frowned. "There you go taking the fun out of it. I love dragging Thomas because he hates it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-04-22 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	"I know, I know. And it might even be good for him. Still, with Jo there, at least first meeting people, I'd prefer it be a more relaxed atmosphere, if that's ok?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-04-22 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	Maria sighed dramatically, but she understood. "Fine. Next time Thomas is being dragged along." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-04-22 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	"You'll just have to cope with the rest of us as company. I'm sure it will be torture without Thomas' wit. And absolutely - just want to make good first impressions in bringing my little sister in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And you're still inviting me along? I'm a horrible influence and I even have the shirt to prove it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-04-22 06:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Despite being a bad influence, you're still one of my favorite people anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-04-22 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	"You're sweet," she said and kissed his cheek. "And you're one of my favorite people. Even if you are the world's biggest boyscout." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
