The Calm Before the Storm (Open)
Maria finished up the report she was working on and shut down her computer. Another day working at Wayne Enterprise was over. It was time to go grab a bite to eat and then down the costume. Night was coming to Gotham and that meant its criminal element would come out. Maria grabbed her purse and coat and headed out of the building.

He ran into her as the elevator stopped on the floor he was on. "Hey, fancy seeing you here." He still had college, which was wrapping up now that it was exam season and end of semester about, but still did his part-time work in the security design division. He needed a day job of course, and extra pocket money helped, but this one gave him the most flexible work hours which was perfect given he had to juggle night work too.

"I work here," she said. Maria rolled her eyes. "What are you doing here? Don't you have class or something?"

"Your sarcasm detector needs work I see," he smirked as he entered the elevator. "Nope, normally have only one on Wednesdays that ends at noon, but since the semester is winding down some classes are cancelled or needless review, either way I came for the afternoon." He leaned against the elevator wall and looked over at her. "So...how many headdesks was today's type of day? I only had one luckily."

Tomas is also getting ready for a night's work. He has his own rounds to make, investigating some of the leads they've started picking up on. Stopping the shipments was one thing - but there'd always be more thugs. Only way to really cripple the trade was to remove the money.

Still, he needs to eat, and is already settled in with his food when Maria and Thomas walk in.

Maria felt like she had a pit where her stomach used to be. Skipping lunch and getting stuck in rush hour traffic did little to help. Of course arguing with Thomas on the way over did help her get her mind off of her hunger.

"Finally," she said as they walked into Maria's favorite pizza place. "I can eat a large by myself."

He'd avoid the word 'arguing' and substitute teasing or just bothering. But semantics.

"If you're going to then you're paying for it by yourself too," he shot back with a smirk as he entered behind her. Naturally he takes note of the people in the place as they enter, too much training not too, and the giant (at least based on his estimate of the man's height) guy at a table was hard to miss.

Tomas notes the new entrants too, noticing just who the woman is when they come around a corner.

"Or I could solve the problem, and buy. If you two would like to join me."

The ride to Wayne Tower wasn't that long since the pizza place was relatively close. The guard at the desk didn't question Maria bringing a visitor into the building after hours. She was a Wayne in his eyes and he knew enough to not question the bosses.

They stepped into the elevator and Maria found it almost impossible to keep her hands off of him. She wanted to jump him right there in the elevator, but she was better than that. Well not that much better, but she did have some amount of self-control.

"You won't be disappointed," she said as the elevator went up.

He had similar thoughts where she was concerned, but... yes. Some sense of appropriateness. And she works here, so...

They reach the top with all clothing intact. "With you? Somehow I was pretty certain of that, yes."

Maria was surprised that their clothing was intact when they reached the top. Maria smiled. "I meant the view." The elevator doors opened to the top floor and the executive offices. The offices covered a portion of the width of the building. There were doors that opened up to a balcony. Maria led Tomas toward the doors.

"I spend my lunch hour out on the balcony," she said as she opened a door for him.

Maria released the breath she didn't realize she had held when his hand touched her. Damn. She felt like a horny teenager again.

The wind was the first thing one noticed when stepping out onto the balcony. It was the tallest building in Gotham, but the view was worth a little wind.

"Isn't it beautiful?" she asked. Even Gotham could be beautiful at times.

It didn't take long past the point of having privacy to make some use of... well, the office. The desk, the floor...

"We're going to need to tidy up a bit before we leave." Tomas comments idly, once they've stopped at least to catch their breath and snuggle up for a while.

"MMmmmm," Maria purred. "Who says we're leaving?" she teased. "Maybe we'll stay here until morning."

She knew they couldn't stay, but it was nice to think about it. Maria wasn't sure what it was about him, maybe he did emit pheromones, but when she was with him she didn't want to leave his side. It had to be the mind blowing sex.

The mind blowing sex is definitely at least one of the factors leading him to even briefly consider such a bad idea.

Maria didn't notice which office they entered under the lust filled haze, but now that her head was a little clearer she noticed they were in Thomas' office. She started to laugh a little.

"It'd be nice to stay, but we should get going. I could use a snack."

The next morning, the sound of very determined, and rather angry, footsteps make it to her desk and one supremely unamused Thomas stands there with what could only be described as blatantly breaking the no bat glares in civies rule.

He held up a pair of...what looked like panties up and tossed them at her head.

Didn't mean he was going to stop Bat Glaring though.

He'd get his revenge.
