Night Driving- Thomas
Chasing down a lead on a drug ring had brought Sam to Gotham where he had run into Thomas again. After busting up the ring there the ringleader had already left and was headed Hub City. At least that's what they guy thy had scared into telling him had said. So they headed out to try and catch him.

Sam let Thomas do the driving since he still hadn't learned to drive himself. After several hours of late night driving they were both starting to feel pretty tired.

	How he wished they could use the Batmobile. But it wasn't discrete for long distances and two, he didn't know Sam all that well. You didn't let just anyone into the Batmobile. He hadn't slept at all the previous night because of this drug ring lead and now monotonous late night driving? Even the most nocturnal bat would have problems. "This car is so slow..."

	Sam definitely preferred flying to driving. He hadn't slept a wink on the red eye he had taken to Gotham. Right now he wanted nothing more than to go to sleep but he couldn't right now. "Yeah," Sam says, "And we still have a few hundred more miles left to go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"What's sadder is that I've been gunning it for most of the way..." Which meant it was already somewhat of a surprise they hadn't been pulled over. But he wasn't such an amateur to let that happen.

"I guess you're not a Queen but might as well ask: Do you guys still have that Arrowmobile thing around?" Knockoff of the much superior Batmobile in his opinion but hey, had to ask.

"If it weren't so late I'd say maybe we should try and get another faster car." Sam had been wondering why they hadn't been pulled over either but had guess it was just too late for even the cops to want to do stuff.

"Well I am a boy so it would be kind of hard to be a Queen," Sam says. "Yeah though I don't think it runs any more." That arrow stuff always made him laugh just like the boxing glove arrow.

"I'd agree but it's almost sunrise. Nothing's open." A point he'd clearly thought about. He might kill the engine at this rate anyway.

"Don't know, we could crown you and say you had the attitude of one. But you're not getting tea from me," he smirked. "Really? Too bad, I'd rather be using that instead of this piece of junk. It's more practical than those handcuff arrows you guys have kicking around."

	"Well it's something to keep in mind for later," Sam says. "I'd just rather be a King," Sam says. "I would rather not be seen in that thing. Part of why I don't really use the trick arrows. Most of them are pretty silly." Ollie really did seems to like those trick arrows. But he agree more with Conner's views. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Understandable. I can kind of see the boxing glove arrow working, but the handcuff one baffles me. How is it supposed to handcuff someone anyway?" They zoom by another speed limit sign, the car is clearly going much faster though. "Sorry to say, we've got the better deal with the car and trick stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My special arrows are the point kind that go right through someone. But I do have a few surprises if the situation warrants it." "Maybe but GA is a lot nicer guy than Bats." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well the gas and ice arrows are good in a pinch as are those foam and glue ones I've seen." Thomas smiles to himself at the second part. "Only people who don't know him say that." Dad may always be gruff and cold to most people, but people who knew him saw the nice side most thought didn't exist. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I usually just use a smoke screen or cable arrow if I'm going to use those types of arrows." "I don't know Green Arrow is a rather nice guy." Though he did think Connor was much nicer than Ollie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sam laughed too. "That would really scary actually. But in a totally different way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Probably give the poor patients heart attacks." He puts on a deep and rather accurate bat gravel, "Glad to see you better Mrs. Smith." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah most likely," Sam says, "Or at the very least get some comments on how he needs to work on his bedside manner." "Nice impression there," Sam says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-06-14 02:45 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I'll admit his bedside manner actually does need work." "Thanks. It's good for making thugs talk and dry cleaners hate me." Just another pro of using Batman's rep to his advantage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	angryarcher 2012-06-14 02:52 am UTC (link)
	Sam laughed at that. "I always just preferred shooting an arrow right next to the guy's junk," Sam says, "They tend to be very talkative after that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-06-14 02:56 am UTC (link)
	Thomas finds himself chuckling along. "Batarangs work just as well. There was also the time a guy had the safety off and his finger on the trigger as he was pulling the gun out the front of his pants. Let's just say that it makes it real easy to threaten a guy when you grab that wrist." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hence the need for the big bad rep. Nobody is actually going to think you're going to break both their legs or shoot their balls off if you don't have it," he points out. "But it does make our job easier when they do think that."

He had to admit, the way some of them scurried away when they saw you coming was rather satisfying. Good, they should fear bats.

Although he's sure that they were responsible for the marked increase in bat phobias over the years.

	"Yeah I can definitely see how that would make things easier," Sam says, "I would just actually shoot them with an arrow first." Usually one of his blunt arrow but sometime a pointy one. He would totally agree on that probably being the reason for increased bat phobias. Sam then yawned with exhaustion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Shoot first ask questions later?" Thomas muffles his own yawn, knowing that since he's the one behind the wheel of the car breaking speed limits that he should probably stay awake. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Kind of hard to ask them questions while they are trying to run away or kill you," Sam says, "So yeah generally shoot then ask." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know, since I'm the one here who can drive, isn't it your job to keep me awake? No napping man." Another muffled yawn follows. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
