AU meme: Thief in the night

He didn't come to Gotham all that often, but once in a while he'd make the trip. It was his mother's old hunting grounds after all, and seeing the places of her stories and trying to reenact the thieving bits never got old. Not to mention the security was better than most cities. No doubt leftover from her more villainous days.

Thomas had already snuck into the Gotham Museum of Art and was at the Van Gogh exhibit they were famous for. Cameras off, sensors evaded, no security nearby meant he was free to take a moment to take it all in.

These field trips were always fun.

	Sorry Thomas but that can't happen. They've only just met. "I admit Gotham knows how to attract some very fine art." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Unfortunately for him really. "And sometimes you find things you weren't expecting," he responds and looks her over then smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She looks at him looking at her and simply raises an eyebrow. "You're way too interested for someone who just ran into me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-27 02:28 am UTC (link)
	"Hardly. I'm just very curious about what you're doing here. I rarely run into someone, it's to be expected I'd like to know who you are." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sorry but I don't give out my name to strange men in museums," Sarah teases him. She is ready to retreat. She can't bring him in if all he did was break in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Alright, strange women in museums. I'm just curious as to why I interest you so much," he smirks. Because when she'd arrived he could tell from her body language and where her eyes went that she wasn't looking at any of the paintings, it seemed she was looking for someone. And he was the only one here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"For all you know I had a hot date you scared off," Sarah teases fluffing her very blonde hair. "Don't you know this is Gotham? All the best vigilantes show up here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-27 02:48 am UTC (link)
	"And is that what you are? A vigilante?" There's a wry smile now. "Certainly something I don't run into often." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-11-27 02:51 am UTC (link)
	"Nope," she drawls popping the p at the end. "I know a few though. They're fun if they can keep up with me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-27 02:53 am UTC (link)
	"Why don't I believe you though," he asks with a smirk as he steps in closer to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-11-27 03:04 am UTC (link)
	"Because me showing up here is completely suspicious," Sara pointed out. He is getting awfully close but she won't back up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-27 03:06 am UTC (link)
	"It is, but you're not denying it." The smirk is still there as he steps closer. She's intriguing to say the least and isn't bothering to bluff him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why would I? This is Gotham... even the fish is shady looking." Plus by dancing around him like this she can hide things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-27 03:25 am UTC (link)
	"True. Let's not even talk about the street food..." As she dances around him he keeps up, not letting her really get too far. No, she wasn't escaping yet, he wanted to know more. "So, what's interested you so much in little old me? I'm a hard one to get your hands on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-11-27 04:25 am UTC (link)
	"Sorry but I'm a very private person." She is going to shoot her line up to the window above them now if he doesn't stop her. As far as Sarah is concerned tonight is going to be a bust. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-27 04:37 am UTC (link)
	He does stop her. By reaching out and grabbing the wrist that's ready to shoot the line out. Which only serves to draw them a lot closer to each other. "If you took all this time to track me down, no need to leave so soon. Not even going to chase me? C'mon, I could use some fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-11-27 04:39 am UTC (link)
	"It looks like you're the one chasing me," Sarah pointed out while raising an eyebrow. They really are close together and she isn't sure what she should do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-27 04:49 am UTC (link)
	He leans close so their faces aren't far apart and smiles. "What's life without a bit of fun?" Then with an impish grin he kisses her and shoots a line to escape from the window above. She's free to chase him down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-11-27 04:53 am UTC (link)
	That threw her off guard for a total of three seconds and then she is after him. She isn't happy that he went and stole a kiss. That.. that thief! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-27 04:56 am UTC (link)
	He full out laughs when he sees she's on his tail, loud enough that it rings through the night. This was certainly fun. Thomas swings and releases his line, doing a few flips mid air before rolling into a landing on a roof and taking off. He looks behind him and shoots her a grin. Catch him if you can. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-11-27 05:09 am UTC (link)
	Is he flirting with her? Oh for crying out loud. She chases after him moving like a professional when it comes to this. Her superiors will grind their teeth if they ever hear about this. Good thing she is off the grid right now. She will catch this Cat. She is the Fox after all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-27 05:15 am UTC (link)
	To be fair, she flirted back. It's encouragement! And if she's going to crash his stealing plans then he might as well get some fun out of this anyway. He moves fast, and clearly used to escaping things, flitting in and out of the shadows, it's occasionally hard to keep track of him but he makes sure she can still see him enough to make this chase interesting.

	outfoxing 2012-11-27 05:21 am UTC (link)
	She was tracking him pretty well anyways. She manages to stay within roughly six meters of him for a good while. Then there are unexpected birds and she has to pause so they don't knock her around. He gets more ground only because of that. But she loops deciding to trick him into thinking she got a little lost. Why not mess with him? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-27 05:27 am UTC (link)
	Except he doesn't think she got lost. If she was good enough to break into the place, to follow him this far and actually keep up, then she was planning something. A slow smirk spreads. Good. More fun. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-11-27 05:38 am UTC (link)
	And then she pops up less than two meters from him. She knows how to use the speed from a swing line to bring herself closer. "Hello handsome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
