An early meeting
She hates having to go to parties. She's not old enough to drink the really expensive champagne and has to look good on someone's arm up until the point where she gets to go crack a safe and switch out the documents she has on her with the ones in the safe.

For now she is smiling and making small talk with a few other pieces of arm candy. They're all aware of the fact they're there to make the men look good. Well most of them they're well aware this one girl who is quite pretty is sort of not all there but they''re trying to not be nasty as thy can see her date is one of the slightly scary looking men.

Suddenly Sarah just needs some air. "Excuse me girls. I need to step out."


So off he goes watching her assistant for the night as he tries to fit in and seems to be doing well. She moves with an extra sway just to tease him because she knows he's watching her as she heads out to one of the our balconies attached to the upper floor of the mansion they're in and watches the grounds as she gathers herself together.

It won't be too much longer. She just has to work on her time table and everything will be just fine.

This isn't the sort of party the Waynes ever get invited to, or even most of the "high society", which means his presence here can't be known. The big bosses in the mob world gather at these things occassionally, but mostly the new money looking to get in on the darker side of business, bringing their upper underlings and all sorts of arm candy. He's not too concerned with any of them, but he's got intel this place is going to get hit. Likely tonight.

He's got dark contacts in along with a wig and some makeup to make him look a tad older. It's precaution since nobody ever notices the waiters carrying around the drinks. Dangerous, especially considering all he can overhear and what he could potentially put in their drinks and disappear without them ever knowing. But he's not here for that.

Out of the corner of his eye he notices one of the blondes, arm candy no doubt, and a man leave the group. He takes note but doesn't scrutinize it too much yet, it's only the man that catches his attention. He's doing a good job but still...he doesn't quite fit in.

Thomas passes around another tray of champagne before he decides it's time to discreetly leave and check the upper floors. If anyone wanted to start soon, they'd start up there.

He ducks out and makes his way up the stairs without anyone noticing.

"Now be careful," she hisses in her partner's ear. They're putting up a good front of being coupley right now.

She can't help the thrown giggle when her partner's hand slips onto her back.

"Oh Frank," she giggles getting into the act. The guy with her looks a little wide eyed at the moment but chuckles rubbing her lower back with his thumb.

"Aw come on Lyta. We won't get caught."

Sarah can't help the way she looks up at him and bats her eyelashes a bit. "You promise? If Daddy heard he'd throw a fit."

They both new it was bullshit. No family to call her own and she wasn't a good girl. She had never been good and for her tonight was just another job.

As he makes his way around the upper floor he hears conversation. He debates whether or not he should make his presence known but decides to anyway, there isn't a way he can get past them without being noticed.

A polite cough to get their attention, "I'm sorry, have either of you seen a man dressed like me come up here? We've lost one of the waiters and we're pretty sure he's up here."

There. It gives him the pretense he needs to pass them and wander the upper floor a bit. It's not like they're going to admit they saw him, especially considering where that conversation was going.

Frank can't help but slide his arm around Sarah. He was under orders to protect her tonight.

Sarah just gives him a half amused glance then shakes her head. "Oh no. We thought we were the only ones up here."

Frank can't help but feel embarrassed by the way she just smiles and leans into him a little. She's trying her best to not totally ooze sex.

He makes a note to check on them later, what they're doing is the easiest pretense to get upstairs for something more...criminal. But for now he makes goes the other way, he'll circle back and head for where they are later.

"Thanks, sorry to disturb you."

After a quick sweep of the other end of the floor and finding nothing he makes his way back to where he started, intent on going the past the two love birds. Except this time instead of making his presence known he stays in the shadows and waits first.

She waits until she thinks they're in the clear then whirls on him.

"Next time don't touch me Frank. We're professionals. Or at least I am," she hisses almost too low to be heard. "Act like it. Not some possessive boyfriend."

"Sorry F--" The look he gets shot has him shut up then try again as they move swiftly to their goal.

"Sorry. Lyta. But the Boss wants to be sure you don't get hurt."

She shoots him another look. "You're not following the rules I laid out. We don't reference work here. Tonight I'm your vapid date you're trying to fuck silly. We're up here because I'm silly and guilable because no one knows what we're really doing."

She stops just outside of the room they need to break into. "You got it? Me dumb blond. You horny male."

Frank dumbly nods and she smiles turning from an angry blond to a sexy and dumb looking woman in an instant. "Aw Frankie. You totally get me!"

Thomas only catches the end with the reference to what they're "really doing". It's enough though. He's found what he's looking for. He stays silent and waits for the two to make their move. The girl is the leader here, and he can't help but smile a little at her outburst. If he's going to have trouble taking one of them down it'll be her.

Breaking in is easy. The room is mostly dark and Sarah doesn't even have to worry. She just gets to work.

In less than a minute the safe is open. She looks around then carefully switches it out. Then she puts everything back as she found it and closes the safe making sure to wipe her prints after because she is always careful.

Now she hears gunfire. Oh crap.

"We need to get out now," she and Frank say at the same time. She takes her hair down from the twist it had been in and messes it up as they back out of the room and start moving.

"Don't worry Frank. Everything will be fine," Sarah says with confidence.

But when she turns back around Frank will be unconscious on the floor with Robin standing over him. The gunshots ring out but they aren't yet close enough that they can't get out in time.

Robin growls. "Fine? Except for the fact that no doubt what you're doing here is related to those mobsters starting to come in downstairs."

Oh this is just great. This was supposed to be easy.

"No way. My employer guaranteed that nothing was going to happen tonight." She tosses some of her hair back over one shoulder and gets ready to fight. No way is she giving up to some hero.

"Did you really have to knock him out? I'll need to get creative now." And she'll have to fight him probably. In heels and this dress which was made to make her look hot not give her the ability to fight well.

"As you can tell from both the gunshots and your unconscious buddy on the floor here...he's not very good at guaranteeing anything." The gunshots are getting louder.

"Look we don't have time for this, we move your pal here out of the way and take this outside alright?" He's takes in her stance and determines that she has some fighting training. He can still take her but it won't be easy.

"Might not be my boss," she pointed out. She's getting nervous if she has to she can make it out the window and get gone pretty fast.

She decides getting Frank out of the way is important. "We need to move. If they think I'm just his arm candy and find us they'll use me for hostage bait if the see you here. We can finish this out there if you really want to get into this."

She moves to start shifting Frank to a safe location. Since he is looking he should notice she has something strapped to her thigh. Probably whatever she stole but only someone like him would notice and who knows where her tools are hiding.

Robin helps her move the guy out of the way, at least he didn't need to deal with him anymore. Her suggestion throws him a little. He had planned to go outside and take off the smaller fry entering last and call backup then move inside, taking them out from behind. But it doesn't sound like he'll have time to do that. He doesn't want to put her in danger but desperate times call for desperate measures. Alt-Dad won't be too pleased about this but he's not here.

"Alright, but first we need to take out a few of them and reduce the number of guns in the room. Be a distraction for half a minute and I'll do that. Don't get hurt."

Robin takes note of what's on her thigh in case he needs to make a grab for it later. But that can wait. He disappears off to go help downstairs, hoping she doesn't run but instead sticks to her own suggestion. Well if she does...nothing he can do about it.

"Boy Wonder, I'm a professional. It's my job to leave everyone else hurting," she tells him with a smirks.

She gives this some thought then takes off one of her shoes. She winces over what she's about to do but it's for a good cause so she breaks the heel then starts walking with a slightly exaggerated limp.

She puts on the full blown dumb blonde look when a man sees her.

"Excuse me? Are you with the wait staff because.... Oh my gawd," she says with an exaggerated toss of her head. He's startled by her appearance when she walks right up to him. "I'm having like.... Totally the worst night ever. Did you know one of your boys got fresh with me? Me? Lyta Vanderhielm. You are SO going to hear from my Daddy!"

And if Robin doesn't do something she'll just knock this guy out as she sees no one else coming.

He's seen her breaking the heel and is curious about what she'd going to do next but he has a job to do first.

There's 5 gunmen around the room, keeping the crowd in check. But this crowd is so jaded that they hardly look surprised. He jumps down behind the crowd and squeezes through to take the farthest gunman out with a nerve strike and then drag the body back behind the crowd and disappear to take out another to the guest's surprise. He sees the beginning of her performance and has to smile. This is going to be good.

The second gunman goes down in a very similar way except this time instead of disappearing into the crowd of guests he moves into the center to attract the others' attention. She can probably take out the big guy by her on her own, and so far he's managed to keep from laughing at the whole performance. He doesn't know if he can hold it in much longer. Lyta Vanderhielm? Priceless.

A few batargangs go out aimed at the gun hands. He won't pull out the smokebomb until he sees she's fine.

"Lady just shit down and shadd ..." And shit hits him, in the throat with the heel of the broken shoe leaving him gasping for air.

"How dare you!" And then she hits him fast and hard. All of these are disabling moves. "No one speaks to a Vanderhielm like that!"

One of the other men moves to grab her to make her sit down and she moves fast twisting his arm until he is left gasping. "And do not manhandle a lady you.... you perverts!"

The others are so focused on Robin they don't see this. She does though wink and blow a kiss in his durection. Before anyone notices she just ducks away leaving her good shoe next to a house plant.

She's getting out of here now. Try and catch her after this Boy Wonder.

The two left who haven't gone after her are now disarmed. But he still has time to roll his eyes a little at her antics. Time to smoke the place out. Robin throws a smoke bomb out, knowing it will slow her escape (good, he'll catch up to her later) along with confusing the remaining gunmen. The last two are confused enough by the smoke that their swings at him go wide. Easy prey. He takes them both out as fast as possible before moving towards the entrance where no doubt the lookouts still are.

Well, look at that. For once the police made good time and handled the lookouts. Granted, he had sent a signal the moment he heard gunshots but still, small victories. Time to get out of here and chase after a certain thief.

Slow her down? For a second she had coughed like anyone else. But then she was tumbling over the edge of a balcony. Then she ran knowing where she had tucked her gear away just in case.

It doesn't take her long at all to get the body suit on.

Then to dab on the adhesive material for her mask and slide that into place. She knows there's a good chance he will still catch up to her and suddenly she realizes this is the first time someone has gotten her blood pumping and her heart pounding. She can't help but laugh as she pulls the grappling gun off her hip and fires to make her escape.


Oh this is fun!

The headstart she got from leaving the scene early is evened out with the time it takes to get into costume, giving him a chance to catch up. Robin swings over to the side of the building she probably left by. A quick glimpse of a moving figure and he's on her tail. A slow smile forms as he realizes this is the first real chase he's had in a while. Time for some old fashioned crime fighting fun!

Is he following her? A quick look is all it takes and Fox is grinning from ear to ear for a moment. She can't help it. This will be the most fun she has had in a while. And she's entertained that he's keeping up so easily.

So like grace that comes from a life time of training she starts to go up. She's going to lead him on a merry chase over the hardest buildings to scale then like a mad woman once she gets a chance to wink in his direction dive off the highest point she has reached.

Is he still following her?

Oh he's following. Using his momentum, instead of scaling the building he makes the grappling gun release at the height of his swing. Launched into the air he goes into a double somersault, landing gracefully and closing some of the distance. The smile is still there as he dives off the building after her.

She's likely not as heavy as him even with her body armor bulking her up so as they fall it's likely he is closer. She tries to vector away from him and spins as she lands of the roof of a building. Her eyes look wide due to the lack of face grease in the gaps left by her mask.

And she is panting a little because they had been moving fast. She does though laugh and run again preparing to get away.

He has a chance to get her though as this roof is a near perfect ambush spot for a one on one fight.

His landing is much smoother and he just smirks at her, knowing that he's almost got her. Time to stop the chase.

Robin throws out one of his remaining smoke bombs in front of her as she nears the end of the roof and attempts to jump to the next.

The smoke engulfs the rooftop and he dives in after her, already having mapped out the area in his head and having been here before (at least in his universe).

The smoke disorientates her as she had just taken a deep breath when it went off. She had been coughing and stumbling when he hits her.

She yelps and lands on the roof effectively pinned under him as her arms are trapped under her body. She doesn't like this so right away she starts wiggling and pulling away.

He's got her pinned for the moment but it won't last long. He whips out some signature batcuffs (picking them is hard, he's tried) and begins tying he arms up with rope. "So..they must have offered a nice salary to send you to a mob party that they know is likely to get hit. Does the job come with health benefits?"

Once done his hands trail down to where he saw she had strapped her prize. One movement and he's ripped it out of the strap. "Thank you for your cooperation miss."

Her torso is covered with straps over her armor. Usually to hold different tools. The one he had pulled away to get the file was a little closer to her waist so she could protect it from falling better.

"Let's just say it's worth it." Her expression is guarded and blank. She shifts and looks down at the handcuffs. They look hard but she thinks she can get rid of them it's the rope that has her nervous.

"It's not like you can turn me over to the police. I'd escape. The cells in Gotham are laughable, you know."

"I hope it's worth it, because I certainly won't be making this easy for you."

He's got her torso wrapped now, trapping her arms to her sides, if she's good she can get out of it. It'll take time but it's not impossible. "I'm aware...so let's make a deal. You tell me who hired you, I want a name, and instead of letting the police haul you off while I guard you...I'll leave you tied up here. If you can get out before the police get my call and get up here well...I guess we'll meet again. I'm after the mob, not you. So what do you say?"

She shifts under him so she's on her back. This is mostly so she can watch him for her own sense of safety. She is also working on the handcuffs even as he's speaking.

"Like I said... it's worth it." She wasn't about to admit it.

Now her expression flickers and she looks pale for a moment. "I can't tell you that."

He's on top of her, his weight pinning her legs down to prevent her from moving too much, but he lets her shift, knowing full well she's working on those cuffs now.

"Okay...family name then or what they want with this." He waves the package in front of her and leans in. "One time deal I'm making here. Take it."

"Aw.... but isn't there something else you might want instead," she teases with a brief shit eating grin passing over her features. She's flirting she can't help it. For her this is just another tool as a thief.

She relents a little. "To mess with a weapons shipment. A war is about to break out between three rival Families. The first shot has been fired already tonight."

She tilts her head starting at him with her green eyes almost seeing through him for a moment. "Thank you..... For being a Cape. I wouldn't have been able to save anyone. Frank wouldn't have allowed it. He was my Leash. To keep me on task. They don't like that I'm a Professional With Principles..... But I get the job done. I don't usually get caught."

Tonight is all business but he plays along a little and looks her up and down. "Tempting...but maybe another night. If you get out in time that is." The last part is accompanied by a mischevious wink.

Her intel doesn't suprise him, but he hadn't known about the weapons shipment. That's not good. They need to head this off before war escalates.

As he gets off her and stands over her he smiles a little. "No problem. I can respect someone with principles. As for the getting caught part? Well 'usually' is about right now isn't it? Well I hope I run into you again. Get working on those cuffs." He winks and steps to the side.

"Oh trust me.... I'll be around. If you ask nice I might return your handcuffs too." Now she can't help but smirk. Robin is fascinating.

She blinks after him then chuckles. She will wait until she thinks he won't directly see her. The cuffs are just about to come undone after that the rope will be child's play.

He can't help but be fascinated by her too. He can't quite figure out why she's not going to give up her employer's name. She seems the freelance type but...well he looks forward to seeing her again.

He sees her wriggle out of the corner of his eye and smiles. She's fast. Good. A swoosh of his cape later and he's done a bat disappearance into the night.
