[Oh, Valentine's day. Joker never was much of a fan for the saccharine Hallmark card of a holiday, but this year was looking up.

He had been very careful to text Maggie all the right things - the "how are you's" and the "what are you doing?" and the "how'd things work out with that guy" - and it all led up to the one text bemoaning his lack of plans for February 14th. It turned out (surprise surprise) that Tommy still hadn't made up with his fiery-tempered kangaroo boo, and that she was available.

"How about a drink at this place I'm sitting this weekend?" he had asked. The answer was an affirmative yes. Hah.

The place he had picked out was in the upper district of Gotham, a nice, ritzy little thing that the occupants had mysteriously left without a note - well, besides the one saying that "Joseph Kerr" would be watching the place. He had given her the address over the phone and was now putting the finishing touches on what was supposedly a "casual" meeting between two single people on the day condom sales went up the highest they ever would for the year.

Heh.]

[Maggie nods, looking thoughtful as she leans forward.]

Yeah, guess you're right. There's only so much that can be done, I guess, when you're got a psychopath running rampant in your city.

[Maggie shrugs, she wont pretend to know about Gotham or its politics, let alone just what is going on with Bruce and Batman. Hell, she hadn't even known the place was REAL until a few short weeks ago. She watched him make refills, and nods. She could understand not wanting to badmouth your city, no matter how much D.C. annoyed her, she still liked the place. Mostly.]

Oh...him. Well...I'm not sure. Things are always super tense between us, we tend to fight more than we talk to each other. [She leans back, eyes flickering to the TV for a moment before moving back to him.] I'm not sure whats happening, or going to happen with him.

[She takes it from him with a murmured 'thank you', then settled back and took a sip. Just as good as the first one.]

I guess it's just...complicated. He's a complicated person. I guess I am too, though. We've both got such nasty tempers it makes it impossible to tell.

[She meets his eyes as he looks at her, blushes, then looks into the depths of her drink.]

I think it's that you just dont bring it out of me like he does. [Maggie says dryly, raising her eyes back up to meet his.] He seems to really bring out the 'best in me'.

And I suppose you're right, it'll go how I want it, eventually. Then again, I don't even know how I want it, so there we go.

[Maggie stares at him in surprise.] You know that song? Bonnie Tyler? [She smiles]

It's a nice idea, but you're right, finding an alternative is probably the best thing to do.

I know what you mean. I'm the same. [It's cute the way he seems embarrassed, and she thinks it's quite adorable he knows the song at all.]

Oh....well...I'd say someone who is a nice, considerate, boy next door. [She eyes him pointedly, but doesn't say anything remarkably forward.] You know. Someone you don't mind taking home to your family. [If you had one, anyway.]

Let's hope. [She watches him curiously, then sets an empty glass down.] Sometimes our...'alternatives' are right in front of us, yeah?

[Maggie chews hesitantly on her bottom lip, then offers him a tiny smile. The two (strong) drinks she's had are beginning to slightly affect her, the room was beginning to spin a bit, and her cheeks were considerably pinker than before. She scoots a little closer to him, pushing her hair out of her face.]

When you least expect it, even.

[Maggie's dazed look isn't faked like his, and she willingly returns that kiss, environment around her quickly forgotten. Someone else's house? Pffft. Whatever! She edges closer to him, still careful of...whatever boundaries might be in place.]

[She doesn't mind the grab, it's actually encouraged. She quickly realizes that he's not going to randomly shove her away, and she turns to face him directly, running her fingers lightly up his arms.]

[Maggie doesn't really notice, lucky for both of them, really. She wraps her arms around his neck, a happy little noise escaping from her lips at his hand on her leg. Nice.]
