(Not Quite) Hell on Wheels (open)
Huntress opened the throttle on her bike and increased her speed. The men on bikes ahead of her had been pulling away, but she wasn't going to let them get away. They were part of a gang who were pushing drugs to middle-school kids and Maria wasn't about to let them go anywhere but to the land of pain and jail. Preferably in that order.

She had been following them for a few days to learn their supply and distribution routes so she could bring down the whole gang and not just two little fishes. Tonight they were heading toward Metropolis to meet up with a fellow member who dealt in Metropolis. She gunned the throttle and closed the gap between them.

Huntress pulled up along side of one and grabbed her crossbow. She aimed and fire, the small arrow going into the front tire of the bike. The front tire deflated and the bike flipped, the back going up over the front. The man on it went flying off and hit the ground hard. He wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Huntress kept after the guy on the other bike and pulled up along side of him. She took aim, but he swerved toward her and she had to swerve to avoid him hitting her. She straightened out and half stood up, putting her weight on her hands. She put her right knee on the seat and kicked out with her left foot at the man on the other bike.

He wobbled a bit before losing control. His bike started to skid and the rear wheel hit hers. Not good. So not good. Her bike started to skid and there was only one thing left to do. Huntress jumped from the skidding bike and went flying through the air. She tried to adjust her position to make a somewhat reasonable landing, but she had been driving too fast for that. She hit the ground hard and with some bone breakage.

"Ow. Double ow." There wasn't a part of her body that didn't hurt and she was going to lie here and enjoy the nice hard ground for a bit.

"My bandages need to be changed and I can't exactly do that one myself. As much as I try to be independent, I'm not above asking for help when I need it."

Which would mean... but he did promise anything... and of course, it makes sense...

He blushes darker than any time previous tonight. "Sure... I can do that."

"Why Mr. Kent, I do believe you have ventured into the crimson shade of blushing."

She patted his cheek.

"It could be worse. I could have asked you to help me with a shower."

He blinks. If anything, he blushes darker. "I..."

Deep breath. "You... can handle that, right?" Good to make sure.

"I don't even know what that shade of red would be called," she said with a smirk. "I washed up when I woke up. I'm fine in that front."

"Ok, with your ribs I wasn't sure how you were able to wash your ba..." he's not helping his cause here. At all.

"Yeah, I can help with the bandages."

"Well if you want to give me a sponge bath, I'm not going to object." She gave him a wink and opened the door to her room.

"Only if you nee..." she has him utterly flustered now. Instincts and automatic reaction for trying to be helpful conflicting with being easily embarrassed.

"I mean..."

Deep breath, only slight reduction in blushing. "You did handle that ok, right?"

Maria turned around and patted him on the cheek before kissing it. "You're adorable. Completely and utterly adorable."

"I don't need to bathe via shower or sponge. C'mon and let's get these bandages done."

She stepped further into the room and carefully started removing the borrowed shirt. She didn't want to rip it and wounded ribs and arm made it difficult to maneuver.

Ok, he can do this. Really. He takes a deep breath and steps forward, quite close, helping her with removing the t-shirt and trying not to blush too hard.

The pain in her chest keeps her from focusing on the closeness too much. "You could close your eyes if it would help," she suggested. "Or think of as changing the clothes on one of your sister's Barbie dolls."

They got the tee shirt off and Maria kept her arms up as much as she could without too much pain.

"Thanks... I'll manage though. I shouldn't try and change bandages with my eyes closed. You... might want to wash up a little though, after running around with these on for a day and some." He shouldn't have said anything, but figures she'd probably be happier that way in the long run.

He manages not to fumble anything as he unwraps her.

"Yeah you may just have to feel your way around if you did that," Maria teased. "I will go in the bathroom and wash up. Then you can put clean ones on."

He finishes what he's doing and gets an eyeful, but makes a dutiful attempt not to look more than needed to finish with the bandages... fumbling a bit only when she mentions feeling his way around.

"... ok..."

Maria smiled and disappeared into the bathroom. She came back out about ten minutes later.

"All nice and fresh. Ready to get into some bondage?" she teased.

He's had a few moments to recover his wits, and figured she'd find some kind of flip comment. At least she hasn't removed any more clothes in the process of washing up.

Still, there's a bit of hesitation as she emerges again, and he tries, resolutely, to keep his eyes above shoulder height when talking to her.

"If I'm going to tie you down, we're going to need more bandages." he finally manages.

Okay she wasn't expecting that kind of comeback, but it did mean the boy was loosening up a bit. Always a good sign.

"I promise I won't put up a struggle," she said as she raised her arms a bit and sucked in a breath from the pain.

That did... interesting things.

Eyes up, really.

Another deep breath, and he sets to starting to apply the bandages... this is much trickier, considering he has to be more 'hands on', leading to some fumbling, entirely accidental feeling up - which leads to blushing and more fumbling... before it eventually starts to resemble what it should.

He knows how to do this, that much eventually becomes clear... she's just both very distracting, and has him flustered.

The blushing and the fumbling was adorable. Maria was so not used to guys who were so shy around women. "I hope our next time out will prove to be just as interesting. Though I'm not sure what comes next after coping a feel."

That gets him fumbling again, but he recovers, managing to get everything into place.

"You're incorrigible... you're also wrapped. Not too tight, is it?"

"I try," she said with a wide grin. She took a deep breath and moved her arms around a little bit. "Nope. Perfect. Thank you."

"Good." he replies, moving around to the back to finish securing the bandages... and, after all the time spent composing himself, and the teasing, decides to be impetuous, since she's not likely expecting any such thing. He'll be more embarrassed about it tomorrow than she will - but she did ask what comes after feeling up... so, while down low to finish securing the last, he gooses her.

"Oooh!" she squealed and jumped. Totally didn't expect that from him. "There's that mischievous side again. I like it."

He can't help but grin. Just a little. "Oops."

"Yeah ooops." Maria grinned. "Thank you. I appreciate everything that you've done for me."
