Maria's Beautiful Mess
Maria was too tired to head back to Wayne Manor and decided to spend the night at her apartment. She had been doing it quite frequently lately. When she entered the apartment she even didn't bother with turning on the lights. She didn't need to see the mess that was her apartment. It would just remind her how much of a slob she was and it was the last thing she needed right now.

Once the door was locked she headed for the bedroom, stripping off her Huntress costume as she moved and letting it fall to the floor. She just wanted to fall into bed and sleep. Thankfully tomorrow was Sunday and she didn't have to get up to go into the office. It'd be nice to get more than a few hours of sleep.

She tripped over a few things as she walked and kicked them out of the way. Once in the bedroom she grabbed a tee shirt hanging on the corner of a full length mirror, slipped it on and fell into bed.

	Maria sighed with relief. She didn't have to explain that she did have feelings for him and that she had only once before felt like this for someone. "So what are your plans for the day?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nope, she doesn't have to explain it. He'd kind of prefer she didn't, because then he doesn't have to get into it. 'Its complicated' suffices just fine. "Not sure. Some things to check up on tonight, but that's tonight. You?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-12-06 12:10 am UTC (link)
	"Such as?" she asked, curious about those things that needed checking up on. Gotham, while she didn't mind sharing too much, was her first concern. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're still working on tracing the drug cartels. Nothing as spectacular as the clowns or anything, but still. Its slow going, but progress." Plus some squad business, but best to keep the Bats out of that entirely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think everyone needs a break from the psychotic clowns," Maria said. "At least The Joker's behind bars." Which means he'll eventually get out and then it'll start all over again. It could be frustrating. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Historically, we don't deal with a lot of psychotic clowns. More the 'kidnap your family and mail you body parts now and then if they think you might talk about their operation' type criminals. With the occasional foray into supervillains." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There are times I'd trade you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-12-06 02:51 am UTC (link)
	She gave him a look. "You'd want to deal with the clowns?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-12-06 02:56 am UTC (link)
	"The clowns are psychos and mass murderers - plenty bad. But there's days I'd take indiscriminate insanity over the cartels kidnapping people's kids from school for insurance, or waging all out war without caring who is in the middle, yes. The situation keeps getting worse in Mexico." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"See, I'd rather deal with that. You know what you're getting into. With the clowns you don't know what you're going to get." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-12-06 03:05 am UTC (link)
	"Sometimes. Its true the crimewaves aren't as spectacular, but bigger body counts over a whole country, schoolkids going missing, corrupt politicians legitimizing their efforts... its its own kind of war. I have no plans to give it up - but there's still days I'd prefer the clowns." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-12-06 03:09 am UTC (link)
	"There's no days where I prefer the clowns." Maria drained the last of her coffee. "More coffee?" Maria started her days out with three or four cups. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-12-06 03:18 am UTC (link)
	His morning workouts with his sister and Iota usually did more for waking him up than coffee, but that obviously was a different situation. "Sure, one more cup. And hopefully the clowns will be settled down for a while now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Here's hoping," she said as she took his mug. She stood up and made her way to the kitchen. She was dressed in a tee shirt and underwear, but she didn't care. She was dressed modestly compared to most of the time she spent with him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-12-11 02:53 am UTC (link)
	Its true, she has definitely worn less. That doesn't mean he's not staring at her ass when she wanders back to the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria started the Keurig and went to the fridge while the coffee was brewing. "Hungry? I could make you," she opened the fridge and looked in. "Nothing. Thankfully there's a good diner right around the corner." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-12-12 03:27 am UTC (link)
	"No problem, diner it is. Much as I hate to ever suggest you go get dressed, breakfast would be good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Maria shut the fridge door on the few science experiments going on inside the appliance. One of these days she'd learn how to cook and have a stocked fridge. That just wasn't today.

"Let me get dressed and we'll go," she said as she started to cross the apartment. She reached her bedroom door and paused. One side of her mouth pulled back into a sly grin. "Unless of course you want to work up an appetite."

	He moves after her with a grin. "Don't have to ask me twice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria smiled and turned around. She closed the distance between them, meeting him with a demanding kiss. She wasn't sure what it was about him, but every time she was with him she felt like a junkie wanting a fix. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He returns the kiss, hands going to her sides, continuing to move to push her against the wall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria let out a heartfelt groan when he pushed her against the wall. What could she say? She liked it a little rough and this was looking like it would be just what she liked. Her hands went to the hem of his shirt while she bit at his bottom lip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-12-14 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	He backs up only enough to let her help peel his shirt off, then does the same to her, then resumes pinning her to the wall. Sure, the invitation was for the bedroom - but they'll make it there eventually. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The feel of the bare skin of his chest against her bare skin made her head swim. He was an assault on the senses. She could taste the coffee he had as he kissed her and she could smell the lingering scent of the cologne he usually wore. Maria kissed along his jaw to his ear. She took the fleshy lobe between her teeth and bit down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
