Police and Thieves

[felinely]

CHARACTERS: selina kyle and john blake
LOCATION: shuttle bay
WARNINGS: umm, Idk… spoilers for tdkr and maybe some general teasing towards the detective?
SUMMARY: John lost his wallet (aka: Brendan "creeper boy" Frye stole something from someone else) and John thinks Selina can help him.
NOTES: following this little text exchange


[ Sure, Selina knows she could have very well just ignored his text, and went on acting as if she didn't know John Blake was even aboard the ship with her. But the man did say he would owe her if she helped him, and she knows she honestly can’t pass up an opportunity like that (you'd be silly if you did).

Because like it or not, she was out of her element in space, and clearly was still lacking on the proper tools needed to fully understand it all (a girl can only stalk the network for so long before she realizes people aren't that much help). And sadly from the looks of it, the detective was making friends fast, which could only help her in the long run if she played her cards right. So in all honesty, it only made sense to her that she attempted to see just what the detective could offer her in the way of understanding. And if that meant perhaps offering her assistance in some form, well, she was going to do just that. (Just how much she was willing to offer though was still up for debate.)

So there she was, just before the scheduled time, sitting on a stray tool box in the shuttle bay, simply pretending to mind her own business as she waited for the detective to arrive. ]

[Blake sighs and runs a hand through his hair.] Yeah. But I need to know. Gordon should know.

So, anything you can give us, would be helpful. [His hands are tied. Maybe, back in Gotham, before Bane, a situation like this, he'd have the upper hand. Be able to offer her something of value in exchange for the information. But here and now, he's basically got nothing, and they both know it.

Nothing except who he is, and his position on the security team, anyway.]

[ again, her brow arched slightly as she watched him, silent debating on just what he and gordon might have already discussed while they were there. (enough she assumed - they were the cops, right?) ]

Well, I'm sure you and the Commissioner have a lot to talk about. [ she said with a small sigh, slipping off the bench as she did. ] Perhaps we will have to stay in contact though.

[ it wasn't much of a statement, she knew that. but it was enough for her to assume, he would see: she was willing to work with him in some small way. ]

But until then, I will gladly see what I can find about a missing wallet, Detective. [ her tone teasing and light as she again approached him with a sly smile on her face. ]

[Right, the wallet. The reason he asked her to meet him in the first place - he'd nearly forgotten in the light of her new information. Crane was the top priority, of course. Finding out what he'd been up to, if he had any accomplices while he was on board. But the wallet was a niggling annoyance in the back of his mind. He did want it to be resolved.]

I appreciate it, Ms. Kyle. Just - let me know if you find anything, about the wallet or about Crane. Or anything else of interest. I'll try to return the favor. [And he really means that - she's doing him a huge favor and he knows it. He won't forget.]
