Stick to the script Foxy
Robin decides to do one last sweep of the neighbourhood he's in before calling it a night. It's been pretty quiet, especially given that this isn't exactly one of the nicer neighbourhoods, and it's looking like he'll wrap up patrol early.

For fun he does a double flip to land on the next roof and is about to take off at a run to try and do the same for his next jump when he stops in his tracks, and stares at the bleeding figure on the rooftop for a long moment.

Was that?

No. Oh no.

And Robin takes off at a mad dash.

	She had been trying to get to one of her safe houses but it wasn't working out. Too much pain and blood to be able to get much further without doing more harm than good at this point. Moving herself was just dangerous at this point. So she had slowed down to try and recover. It wasn't working out at all for her. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	He's right beside her almost immediately. "Fox? What happened?!" He's already doing a catalogue of her njuries in his head and figuring out how bad they are. But it's hard to tell in the dark and with the uniform in the way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Got caught off guard," she licked her lower lip. "Didn't.... not as good as the other guy." She winces trying to push up so she can sit but the wound going through her is enough to stop that. Her whole side is protesting the move at this point. "I got shot. Think it exited. Not sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"First, stop moving. I need you still to check how bad it is." He moves her hands away so he can inspect the wound as best he can given the circumstances. "Bullet exited but you need help. I'm going to move you okay? Now answer the questions while we go: Who? Where were you? What was this about? And is there a chance they're nearby?"

He nees her awake and talking might keep her mind off it just a little. Quickly pulling out some gauze from his belt, he uses it to stop the bleeding as best he can. It's only temporary and he's well aware of it. Robin picks her up, she's rather light even with the uniform, to start making their way to somewhere he can give her the help she needs.

	"Some kind of high priced security," she groans in pain. "I was in a mark's flat. We're far enough off that the security shouldn't be giving chase." She can stay awake. The pain won't let her pass out just yet. "My leg. He hurt my leg pretty bad too. I might need stitches." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I put some gauze on that too. It'll hold till we can get you somewhere where I can do a better job. Just stay awake." There was no might about it, stitches for both her leg and her side were needed. But they'll get to that later. First...where to take her? He's been finding out some of her safehouses but none he knows of are nearby and even if she did tell him of one she might pass out before they got there and she could give him further instructions. The hospital was too far so...there was no way around it. The safehouse two blocks away would have to do.

"Security shot you? Which flat is this?" Because shoot on site mark for a mob thief? Well that meant all sorts of danger. Not just of what she might have been stealing, but what her employer hoped to achieve by hitting such a well secured place. Nothing good that's for sure.

	"Give you the details latter," she groaned. "Place is a freakin' deathtrap on top of that security guard. Way harder than I expected. Would have gotten in and out just fine if that guard hadn't seen me. He was good." She's unhappy and in pain. She also knows she's too far from her nearest safehouse to try directing him there. She knows this isn't good at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He asks only for the sake of covering all his bases, but unless she had one within a block or so it'd be useless. "Do you have a safehouse nearby?" He's moving at a steady run now, trying to not aggravate her wounds but he knows it doesn't help that much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No. This area's too flashy. Can't hide out well enough without dressing flashy when I'm out of uniform in this area," Sarah points out carefully. She's fighting to stay as focused as she can right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Okay we'll go somewhere else," he grunts. Right now he's running through all the problems with bringing her to a bat safehouse. And all the contingencies and all the things he'll need to do. But the priority is the get her patched up and not keep her bleeding out like this.

It's not long before they get there and he sneaks in. It's one of the smaller safehouses, mostly made for a breather or emergency situations. There's no computer or anyfiles he'll need to wipe so at least that's the silver lining.

Putting her down on the small bed in the corner he says very seriously, "Don't move." Then he'll be rushing over for the first aid kit and the supplies he'll need to stitch up her wounds.

	At least she isn't fighting him. She has to trust him right now. She sort of does based on the times they've run into each other. "Like I can," She grunts at him. She does though move her arm so she can start unhitching some of her straps so he'll be able to deal with her wounds properly. If he gets mad well, she'll just deal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

While getting the supplies Thomas silently hopes she doesn't later use the knowledge of this place against him. He'll have to shut it down, wipe the place, tell the others not to go here, and realize he just cost them all a safehouse that could've been life-saving one day. He doesn't think she'll sell him out, not her style and...well he doesn't trust her exactly but it just didn't seem like something she'd do. Professionals tended to have at least some sense of...oh god was he going to just go against the silly "Honour among thieves thing"? Great. But right now he needs to keep her from, quite frankly, bleeding to death here.

He goes back and notices she's undone some of her uniform, it makes his job easier at least. Pulling off his gloves and putting on the ones from the first aid kit he tells her, "Alright stay still. This'll hurt I'm sure you know."

	Well she won't betray him. Not if it can be helped and no one ever has to know he took her here to patch her up. With her that saying actually applies, she likes to think she can do the right thing when it comes to some stuff. "Yeah I know. I've given myself stitches before," she agrees. "I'll be good. Just don't blame me if I pass out right now, okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And what would you be doing?" The voice seems to appear out of nowhere and Thomas is standing behind her with a frown, in civies except for the mask and holding a bag with take-out boxes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Gah! Damn him and his ninja-like powers! Sarah flails because being startled threw her off balance and she was going to end up on her ass. How graceful of her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-02 03:22 am UTC (link)
	"No." She's not admitting how much her leg hurts from landing on her backside. Nor is she admitting she's embarrassed that she got caught like this. She's not admitting that she might have put herself in danger if she actually did leave. Especially with him glaring. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Riiight." He's just going to roll his eyes now. "Well I was wondering if you'd like dinner and company," he says while holding up the take out, "but since you were so intent on leaving..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-02 03:35 am UTC (link)
	"It's to be expected. But if you leave you're just going to end up ripping your stitches and bleeding out all over again." He offers her one of the boxes and gives her a wry smile, "And then all my work will have been for nothing now wouldn't it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We both know you'd be able to catch me. I'm not even going a quarter of my usual speed" she griped. "Neither have I. Left overs went over well," she admitted then shifted to try and look chipper or something instead of nearing grouchy. "Oh Robin. It's soooo good to see you. I've been very bored. And behaved myself as long as I could." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-02 04:09 am UTC (link)
	He just gives her a look, "Well now you're just teasing me here. But since you've behaved yourself so well so far, were you implying that now that I'm here you won't be so...well behaved?" Yeah he's going to tease back for that one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
