Future: Well now this is interesting
It had been a long week but the job was done. And she hadn't gotten caught. She had made the drop off and had gone home.

Or to one of them anyways. She was still decked out in a sinfully sexy number made to distract. And she was looking forward to getting out of it. Just after she finished the water. She was tempted by the Scotch she does have here but she's not going to touch it.

Suddenly she is aware that she is being watched. So she leans forward against her kitchen counter reaching for a knife hidden within easy reach because she knows she has to protect herself.

She's expecting danger after how dangerous this past week has been Too many near misses have left her expecting trouble.

The more he learns the more he's troubled. They've guessed he was planning something big but not...not this. No matter what this was going to get messy.

"Who said anything about openly? I'm not asking you to do that you know..." And if it does go bad she still can come to him. But he doesn't say it out loud, hoping she can get the message anyway. He's here if she wants out, and he'll help.

He has her on edge because she's just terrified of what could happen. But either way she burst into soft laughter.

"They're not stupid. If they find out..." She's never been this upset before. She took in a ragged breath of air.

"You'll find out who my Boss is anyways. You're good at this and I just...."

She wants to just tell him. He is on the verge of having her crack open like a walnut.

She's upset now, whatever their hold on her, it's tight.

"They won't." He says it with such conviction that it comes out in a very bat-like growl. He won't let them find out, and he's going to do everything in his power to make sure of that.

He doesn't tell her he has the possibilities of who she's working for narrowed down to a few of the bosses, just in case she tells him now. "Then tell me, I'll find out anyway you'll just save me valuable time. Time I can use to head this off before it blows up in our faces." Please. The last part is silent but it's there, and it's up to her what she chooses to do now.

She's trying to not get so upset but..... God. It's been so hard.

She's had no one she could trust. And he's in her space all the time now and she just doesn't know what's right or wrong anymore.

Maybe she never did. Her throat felt way too tight and she just sagged a little against him and the wall.

"They.... They have my mentor," she choked out. "The original Fox. Three years ago during a job something went wrong. He got sick really bad and.... and I had to use a connection to save his life."

She's >not crying that's just the change in the air. "They keep using this against me. I don't even know if he's alive anymore."

His grip on her loosens a bit as she breaks a little.

He can't blame her for what she's done. He'd do the same thing in her place. If it meant saving any of his family (he counted them all as blood regardless) he'd do it in a heartbeat. But to not know if what you were doing was helping at all...that must be torture.

So she can lean on him he moves in closer and takes his hands away from her wrists so he can wrap his arms around her. Leaning his forehead against the top of her head he offers the only thing he can, "I'll find out if he's alive okay? Before all this happens I'll find out so you can...have some peace of mind. I need your help though Sarah."

He might have been pissed at her bosses before for blackmailing her, just on the principle of the thing. But now he feels downright murderous, and it takes all his self control to not accidently hurt her while containing his rage.

She is glad that the way her hair is done up he won't get poked with pointy things. She had been dressed to draw attention which meant being glad Robin had never left a hickey on her throat.

Even in heels she found he towered over her but that was okay. She needed comfort from the reopened emotional wounds. She holds onto him and then sighed softly.

"Okay. I give up. I can't do this anymore. It's worse than torture." She's not quite nuzzling him but there is some burrowing because letting go seems like a bad idea.

"I'll need to move to a different home base than the one I'm using. This isn't it. This is just.... comfortable. And it's the Maroni family."

He lets her burrow in and even pulls her closer. Her answer doesn't suprise him, more than half his (relatively) short list of potential blackmailers are in the Maroni family but he wants to be sure about something, he doesn't need the name now just a confirmation. "The top top boss himself?"

It's a little easier with her in heels so he presses his lips to her hair while thinking through a plan of action. "Preemptive move is good, we can make it a decoy in case. But you need to look like you still live there until I find your mentor. If they figure out you've moved before that...we don't want that to happen. I'll go get a disguise and help you with whatever."

He feels so...inadequate. There must be something more he can do. But for now he just holds her tighter, it's a sign of trust, she could kill him this way very easily. But that thought doesn't once occur to him.

"Yeah the new guy," she mutters. "He had been trying to get to the top for real for like twelve years. He's ambitious and a real cold bastard.... if you can manage maneuvering things his little cousin Gentleman Johnny is who you want the Boss. He's not interested in crimes that hurt people."

She chuckled softly sounding just plain tired out. "I shouldn't even tell you stuff like that but.... I hear stuff and some members of the Family treat me okay. Not decent of course but.... Okay. They don't let the boys talk dirty around me because I'm a 'little lady'."

She quirked her lips. "Yeah. They're well convinced that I wander in and out of my 'home' all the time because I'm young. I just want to move my important stuff. A few things I don't want to loose should that place get fire bombed."

He stays silent as she says all this, filing it all away for future reference and generally ignoring her ideas of 'okay' mob guys. He only speaks up near the end, "Well you are a lady, and you can beat that into them if need be."

The grip he has on her is still tight though and he has to look down to see her expressions. "Well at least we have an excuse. Give me a bit of time and I'll go get a quick disguise to accompany you. If they ask I'm sure you can come up with a good story."

He gets that there are things she'd want to save. Hell, he didn't have his whole universe anymore and all he has from it is his Robin uniform and what came in it. Which means pretty much no pictures. He still has one (due to ignoring Dad's strict no personal items on the uniform rule) as a good luck charm. But that's all he has.

She's holding onto him in her own way. She does though smirk up at him. "They learned that early on. I don't let people touch me unless I want them to."

Which means that Robin has been allowed a great deal. Or she just can't fight him.

"I'll need to change," she muttered darkly. "I'm not going back there like this. I don't need to give them ideas..... do you want to do this tonight?"

	He smirks at that knowing what she meant, "Good. Stop me whenever then." "Yeah..." He glances down at what she's wearing and is very certain it's not a good idea to have her on the streets like that. "Tonight. You said it's going to happen soon and the less time we waste the better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2011-12-08 05:36 am UTC (link)
	And that has her smirk at him. She doesn't want him to stop yet. And she hadn't really been willing to fight him. "You'll have to let me go... unless of course you want to help me undress," she teases. "It's hell taking my hair down and the zipper requires flexibility." Oh she is teasing him now. Mostly it's to forget her bleak mood. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He gives her a playful smile. "Well since you offered I'll be the gentleman and help you out." He figures he'll call her bluff here or enjoy it either way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She won't be outdone. Not by him because she is being utterly stubborn right now.

Also somehow this is a little sexy even though her mind is an utter mess right now. "My room is over that way." She nods past the kitchen to a room that has no lights on towards the back.

"I have something I can change into back there." She added a smirk in there. "Plus better shoes."

	He's certainly not going to let her have all the control here so he leans in for a brief kiss, using the distraction to pluck one of the pins out of her hair. "Well since I've already started helping you..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2011-12-08 06:01 am UTC (link)
	He's a bad man.There are enough pins though that removing one does very little. "They also make really good make shift lock picks," she thought to add with a smirk. "But please. Do help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2011-12-08 06:04 am UTC (link)
	"You think I don't know that?" He smirks at her again and leans in to kiss her again while letting one of his hands search her hair for more pins to remove. Soon most of them are on the floor. "Better ma'am?" He's giving her a mocking smile as he takes out the last one he finds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	See that just has her relax against him a bit more. Then she shoved her hands carefully through her hair to try and get it to act normal. "Tease," she muttered before giving him a quick kiss. Then she moves to go to her room to change. If he wants to help her more he's more than free to follow her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yet you enjoy it..." He stares after her as she makes her way to her room, appreciating the dress once again. The temptation to follow her is hard to resist but he reasons that they still have work to do tonight and that following her will only distract him from it.

"I'll meet you here in an hour. Surprise me." And he's off again, out the window to go find an appropriate impromptu disguise.

"I confirm nothing," she called with a laugh as she disappeared behind the bedroom door.

There was no indication from her on if she heard that or not. But either way she would finish changing into something that was so flashy.

The funny thing is that the best disguise for her is to go how she dresses when not on a job as they will expect to see that. It's Robin who has to be stealthy. She dons jeans an a dark long sleeved shirt with her favorite not work boots.

It's comfortable and will see her through this latest excursion.
