Thomas Birthday Shenanigans
First birthday away from "home" technically and he was not handling it too well. Really, he just wanted to suit up and take out criminals while brooding in between. Not much to ask for. But after spending the last week and a half almost burning himself out dealing with a few Gotham street murders, and ending up a tad bruised and battered, AltDad had insisted he take his birthday off and even told him ahead of time. Apparently days off could be enforced because he was barred from access to his uniform. Wonderful.

Admitting defeat, you really had to when it came to The Batman, he'd almost resigned himself to brooding at home but realized someone would shove him out the door to make him have fun. It had been then that he decided that maybe he should tell Sarah he had a rare day off and spend it with her on a...well they didn't really have 'dates' but this might be close enough. Besides, if anyone could cheer him up she could. He never felt like he didn't belong here around her.

There's a quick rap at her window on the evening of his birthday and Sarah will find Robin hanging upside-down in civies and a mask.

What? Just because he couldn't get his uniform didn't mean he wasn't going to swipe one of the extra masks and utility belt.

	"I like the shorts look on you. I've never seen you in shorts," he protests weakly. There's a click as he makes his grappling gun reel him in and he slowly rises up to the roof, giving her a cheerful wave as he passes her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You've never seen me in a lot of things," she points out blowing a raspberry in his direction. She is up after him not long after and stretches just a bit. "At least I'm dressed this time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We should fix that then Foxy," he smirks at the raspberry and has ideas of what else he'd like to see her in. When she gets to the roof he pulls her in to give her a proper hello. "Shame about that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-07-28 02:53 am UTC (link)
	She would be happy to give him a show for some of the ideas he may have. She really is glad for the proper hello. "But then we'd be cutting into whatever it is you have planned," she points out innocently. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thought we'd have a uniquely 'us' night out," he smirks but avoids the word 'date'. "I only have so many nights off." There's a little bit of fake cheer put in there as he tries to make it seem like he enjoyed today off so far. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Date was a word she'd shy away from too. Right now she just looks very pleased and steals a kiss to let him know she was happy about this. "Well let's have fun so I don't have to commit a crime to make you smile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-07-28 03:13 am UTC (link)
	"You committing crimes does not make me smile," he says as he adjusts the small backpack he brought before starting on hopping rooftops. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Breaking in counts, right? Because I have ideas you see..." She's going to follow along glad she's in her good sneakers for this kind of thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-07-28 03:18 am UTC (link)
	"What sort of ideas are these?" He slows down a tad for her to catch up and he lets her go first for a bit. For the view of course. What? He doesn't want to block the wonderful skyline. Not that what he's following is a bad view either. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-07-28 03:23 am UTC (link)
	"You'll see," she teases. Damn. She can't see him in jeans. And the only time he isn't in a cape is when he's undressing her or the times they ran into each other in disguise. There was also the birthday outing but that barely counted, she hadn't seen his backside. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He'll need to give up letting her take the lead eventually because she didn't know where they were going. Darn, he liked these shorts of hers. "Does this involve seeing you in more things? I wouldn't complain..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-07-28 03:37 am UTC (link)
	If he likes them so much he better not ruin them. Sarah will be annoyed with him. "It depends on how things happen," she says enigmatically. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-07-28 03:43 am UTC (link)
	He'll let them survive because if not it'd mean he'd probably never see her in shorts again. "You're a mysterious one as always," he teases as he vaults forward and past her now that they're closer and just going straight won't cut it anymore. Plus, they're in the nicer part of town, that meant more variety in buildings. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah moves quickly after him. She's not willing to lose track of him even on their 'date like thing'. "I just like to see if I can surprise you. It's fun if I can," she purrs merrily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As much as he'd rather watch her leap rooftops in front of him, Thomas realizes he should probably lead the way. Although doing this in civies was always a bit different. "Understandable. I like making you jump so it's only fair..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-07-28 03:53 am UTC (link)
	"You like doing many things to me," she teases not missing a chance like that. Thankfully this isn't hard for her to do. She knows that the clothes she's in provide little protection if she slips. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Never heard a complaint from you," he shoots right back with a smirk then lands in a roll on the next rooftop to wait for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-07-28 04:00 am UTC (link)
	She lands a little awkwardly. These shoes aren't really made for her usual kind of travel on the rooftops. "Nope." She glances up at him. "So. What do you have in mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-07-28 04:05 am UTC (link)
	He just points to the building next to them with a penthouse suite on top, figuring she already knew who lived here. The man was known for having one of the best private art collections in the city. And in Gotham that was a feat. "He's got a rooftop pool and is out on vacation for the next week..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-07-28 04:13 am UTC (link)
	She nearly bounces when she figures it out. "Okay-- Look at the pretty things or... Skinny dipping?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-07-28 04:14 am UTC (link)
	In his mind there was no reason they couldn't do both. It'd make the birthday more fun. "I brought towels in case," he smirks. And swimsuits but...he liked her idea better. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-07-28 04:21 am UTC (link)
	"Towels are good. I don't want to drip all over that guy's nice stuff... I mean seriously. He could give Bruce Wayne a run for his money but according to his reputation? This guy is a naive goof ball. I'd feel bad if his stuff got stolen." Sarah usually doesn't admit that when it comes to private collectors. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-07-28 04:27 am UTC (link)
	Thomas shrugs, "Wayne doesn't have such a great reputation either. But he's got way better security than this guy if Wayne Tower is anything to go by." He's privately proud of the changes he's made to that system, and anyway, as great as the tower's security was, the Manor was a fortress in terms of security. And damn was he proud of that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-07-28 04:31 am UTC (link)
	"Well the difference between Wayne and this guy is that Wayne has a company. That means he has to be more.... aware of things. He has more than himself to think of. This guy? I bet he has no idea that his security is vulnerable." She shrugs a bit. "It's not bad security though. Could be better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-07-28 04:37 am UTC (link)
	"He's old enough that he probably doesn't have as much of a hand in it as people think," he lies. "As for this guy's security...let's prove how much better it needs to be," Thomas says with a mischievous smirk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
