Gotham

He kept running for three days and two nights straight he was tired dirty and thirsty and so far unshaven he had used his charm to get himself food only and even that was risky he knew but it had to be done

where he was now he was most certainly unsure but the Piper would not give in having espied the beauty upon the ledge he winked grinning rougishly and then remembers that he is most likely now a wanted man and so quickly dives into the dark ally adjacent knocking over a trash can as he does so it hits the ground with a horrid scraping noise

his heart pounds within his chest perhaps she'll forget he existed his brown hair formed a curtain around his face as he strove to control his breathing and hide the fear so close to surfacing within his azure eyes perhaps that was wishful thinking.

Black Rose stopped when she heard a noise and saw something or someone dash in hiding.
She carefully stepped down from the ledge and creeped to a corner to investigate, the black cat hot on her heels.

[i]What could that possibly be[/i]?

surely he was caught he knew it and so with all the charm he could muster in his bedraggled state he bowed and sang in lilting beritone " of rat of newt of snake and viper most milady call me the pied piper " with this he stepped from the shadows grasping her hand lightly he placed a fleeting kiss upon the back of her palm straightening from the bow he grins as his blue eyes reflect the early morning light

stand very still with a blank and very curious look on him face "Did i miss something..?"

Mg stands in ths shadows watching everyone. She notices that piper does not have that much energy, so she gave some to him so that he could charm anyone he needs to, to get away.

gesturing towards the ally in which they stand the piper grins cheekily " why dear lady if I had but known this was your ally..." his sweet beritone feigned shock "why dont be so modest milady for indeed you must be fit to rule far more then a mere trash can..." the piper let the rest trail off as he laughed melodically

though a few seconds later his face was a mask of stone and his blue eyes were dark as a stormy sea

"I beseech you please lady you must hide me those whom work for slade hunt me and for reasons I do not feel comfortable disclosing to you yet I need to break into the Titan's tower west so you must tell me where I am " he said quickly his strength all but gone he knelt before her if one were to look closely enough they would find he was indeed out cold .

just then the sounds of a non discript black vehicle pulling up were heard as two identically attired gentleman clad in dark suits and tinted glasses which concealed their eyes walked up behind black rose " excuse me miss the deep voice of the first boomed my name is agent smith we are looking for a mr Thomas James have you seen him?"

* whoa she's beautiful like a maxim model or somethin* Agent smith thought dazedly as his eyes glazed over with a desire which would remain unfulfilled

" uh hey partner you ok?" Agent soloman asked worriedly in his high tenor voice as he watched his superior act entirely unlike himself Agent smith turned to Agent solomon as they locked eyes for a second her trance broken " I wha yeah he isn't here sorry to bother you miss" Agent smith spoke in the tones of one just waking up " b but sir" agent solomon protested " I say we're gone you want I should demote you to beat cop" agent smith demanded of his subordinate

" n no sir" agent solomon stammered " I thought not..." agent smith replied smugly and so they returned to the car and peeled out down the street black rose had directed them to and they were gone quickly as they came.

"NO I didn't Wha the earth movin?" Thomas sleepily questioned as he rocked slightly back and fourth opening a bright blue eye and brushing his hair from his eyes he let out a jaw cracking yawn " this isn't my room oh yeah.... " he said as realization dawned turning to black rose he grinned " thank you m' dear I suppose you'll be needing an explaination but first how long was I out? " he inquiried slyly.
