Happy Birthday Foxy
 In the ungodly hours of the morning, when even most vigilantes would be calling it a night, a silent alarm goes off. Except for once instead of any tell-tale signs of robbery there's a trail of blood and discarded clothing. First the cape. Then gloves. Crushed utility belt. And finally the tunic that gives it all away.

 
He's a crumpled figure on the floor,  surrounded by bits of a first aid kit that he's managed to knock off the shelf before collapsing, and propped up against the wall in what is both the most convenient and inconvenient position. It's the only way he can see the stab wound, one of many, just below his ribs in order to stitch it. But it's also the position he's bleeding out the fastest in.
 
The blood loss, blurry vision and shaky hands are making this worse, and he's completely oblivious to his surroundings at the moment.

Not that it mattered much at this point.

"I didn't mean to." Why was he apologizing so much to her? And why did he feel like he needed to?

Because she's scary? No. She's really not scary. Just upset that he was hurt.

Which she hates that she's reacting like this. "At least you're sitting down.... do you need something for the pain?"

He really doesn't like her upset at him.

He leans back and looks at the ceiling. "Maybe. I can live with it though." No reason to bother her more, and he thinks he should've handled the knife fight situation better. Being outnumbered was no excuse, it happened all the time.

"Which means I should probably get something for you."

Stubborn Bats.

He closes his eyes a bit to block out the pain. "I didn't say that."

Stubborn indeed.

He was still trying to figure out how he was going to get home.

"You're in pain," she points out.

"It's not doing you any good." She fetches him a bottle of something strong and a few other odds and ends.

"You should probably eat too. Want some soup?"

He reluctantly accepts, although he is grateful, and takes what she gives him. If he was going to be able to convince her he needed to get back then he'd need what he could get.

"I don't think I can eat." He really doesn't feel well enough to, sitting up by itself was enough pain. He didn't want to lose any food in front of her either.

"By the way, where's my uniform?"

She gives him a glance. She's still worried.

"All right."

That has her pause slightly. "The bathroom. I rinsed it off. Too much blood."

"The tunic will need to be replaced entirely anyway," he shrugs. Although the red certainly hid bloodstains well. It's one of those uniforms where it's hard to tell if one was injured in.

"Yeah but I'm sure you wouldn't want to feel itchy if you had to wear it for some reason," she points out with a shrug of her own.

"Right. I need to get it back on to go back," he says looking over at her, gauging her reaction.

"I'll kick your ass if you tear the stitches again," she says after a moment.

"I still need to check them again."

"Well I'm down to one piece of clothing here, I'm sure you could tell if I tore them," he rolls his eyes.

Now she just blushes. "I'm trying not to stare."

He chuckles a little at that, "Even in my mummified state?"

"There's still.... Gaps."

That just gets him a sheepish look.

Have an amused Robin. "Didn't know you were looking that closely," he manages to tease.

"You were out cold at the time. I took advantage of you," she deadpans.

"I would say it was hot but I would prefer you conscious the next time I take advantage of you."

"Shame. I'd prefer to have remembered all that in vivid detail. Guess I'll have to make do with fantasies until you decide again to take advantage of kitten-saving heroes."

"Well if you're good I may offer you a sponge bath before we get you to one of your safe houses," she teases with a wink. "If you'd like I'd even put on a nurse costume I think I have here.... or are you more of a maid kind of person? I can even do accents."

He just blinks at her for a moment, clearly very occupied with that mental image. Then sighs, "I'm really not in the best shape to deal with your teasing am I?"

"Nope. I could have you at my mercy," she says seriously.

"You're just lucky I'm nice.... I could get away with so much right now."

"I'm at the mercy of the foxy thief. I see that now. I'm sure you have some unrealistic demands for me that you'll try and get away with," he tries to tease back.

"Unrealistic for a Bat maybe," she says with a dry chuckle. "But that's okay. I can work with that."

"Should I be worried?" He tries to hide a wince as the chair rubs against one of his stitches wrong.
