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.

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	Maria sighed dramatically, but she understood. "Fine. Next time Thomas is being dragged along." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You help with that more than you think," she said. Jon kept her grounded in reality, which in itself was really weird. He didn't let her get too involved in being a Bat and he had become one of her best friends. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria just laughed. She knew he didn't mean that to be a very loaded question, but it was just that. "Oh Jon. I adore you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-04-24 12:02 am UTC (link)
	He really hadn't, of course, blushing furiously again. "Oh, uhm... I mean, heroing stuff, or... Gotham... things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-04-24 12:05 am UTC (link)
	"Of course," she said with a laugh. "How's Alina and how are the two of you doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pretty good. She's taking me home to meet her immediate family soon, and we're going to let them know who I am." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria whistled. "That's a pretty big step. I hope it goes well for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
