Homecoming (Jane)
Robert Queen steps out of his cab in Gotham, right in front of Jane's building, hoping to God that Angela's information was correct. If it was...then Robert could fix the wrongs he'd left behind by leaving Jane alone in the first place. The guilt for that ate away at him, because he should have been there for her. He /knew/ she could defend herself, but against a monster like Ra's al Ghul?

He'd left her alone and she'd died. Never again.

He climbs the stairs to her building and lets himself into the apartment, hoping to catch her sleeping so that he could be the first person she saw when she woke up. He liked doing that for her. Maybe he'd even cook something for her.

He sets his bag down and gets to work cleaning up a bit.

	"Robert!" She's still in love with him. Seeing him go down hurts like hell. She also has no idea if moving is a smart idea. Or. If he even told her the truth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sir, the target is down. Repeat. The target is down." the leader says, checking Robert's pulse. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Less than a minute later, Roy Harper enters the apartment. He looks at the damage to the door and grimaces. He would have preferred that to /not/ happen, but reaching his goal was worth it.

Shado escaped him a couple of days ago, but getting the lead on Robert was worth losing her. He'd get her later.

"Good work, Jane. Trust me, you did the right thing here." Roy says.

"Take him out of here and get him prepped for transfer." Roy says to his men. They obey.

He hands Jane a very thick envelope.

"Like I said, I'm paying you for your work. Thank you." Roy nods.

	"Keep it. I fucked up," Jane buries her face in her hands. "I don't..." She betrayed Robert because she didn't trust him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He understood where she was coming from, in a way. A part of Roy felt like shit for putting Jane in this position; she was a nice girl and didn't deserve this.

But Merlyn had to be stopped. The old adage about omelets applied here.

He sets the money down on a nearby counter and turns to go, but stops before he reaches the door.

"I'll send someone to fix your door and change your locks.

You can't talk about what happened here, Jane. Especially not to Mia." Roy says.

Then he leaves.

	This is why they can't have nice things, right? Jane sniffs and gives up. She's going to pour herself a drink. Then seriously consider setting that money on fire. Or doing a Robin Hood by dropping it off in several needy Gotham churches. After she gets properly drunk. And she had stayed sober since going to Mia's. Tonight she gets seriously drunk.
