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.

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.

"Maybe," she teases then glances at him.

"I really should clean and change the bandages for you. Seriously. Just t make sure the stitches are okay.... Huntress can keep an eye on you once we move you, yeah?"

"I've got the bike parked some blocks away. It's closer and there's a comm on it, I'll be good if I get there." He's not looking forward to explaining this.

"We can go after sundown," she decides for them.

"You can use the time now to rest. You need it."

He looks like he's about to argue but thinks better of it. He'd need her help after all.

"...I'll need my uniform back."

"It's in the bathroom. Do you want it now?"

She can be reasonable.

"Preferably," he admits. It was nothing to do with her, just procedure and his own paranoia about it. Especially the utility belt.

"Hold on."

Sarah goes to fetch his uniform. She was glad that the cape seemed to be mostly okay. Most of this just was no longer really functional.

His cape has a few slashes in it, but besides his boots, it's one of the few parts of his uniform that can be used again after this. The tunic, gloves and pants will need to be replaced. Not to mention the utility belt is beyond repair.

"You had a hell of a fight," Sarah informs him as she sets the uniform down.

She is glad he made it out of there.

"I took out a lot of them," he grumbles defensively even though he's pissed at himself.

"Good." She brushes a hand against one of his arms.

"After I took a power nap I was tempted to go hit someone for you," she admits somewhat shyly.

"And get yourself hurt? No." He's very firm on that point. He'll fight his own battles, nobody else needs to be involved. But he's feeling a little dizzy now and rest his head against his hand while trying to lounge more comfortably in the chair.

"I know better. You're better at fighting."

Sh gently pushes a hand against him. "Lean back. I'm going to put the foot rest up for you. I need you to relax for me, Robin."

"Why's that?" He mumbles sleepily and closes his eyes.

"Because it will help you have energy for when we have to go later," she says logically.

"And I know being hurt makes it harder to have any kind of energy." She thinks he's sort of cute but won't tell him that so he doesn't fight her.

"I guess," he mumbles while sitting up and inspecting his stitches for the first time. "You're good at this," he admits while poking some gently.

"I do a lot of sewing," she admits freely.

"I add pockets to dresses when I can and I make my uniform,"she admits to him. Now she has his feet up.

"Better. You feel comfortable now?"

"Guess that's not a talent you pick up to use on people," he says while doing some more experimental poking. "You make your uniform? I'm impressed Foxy.

It's an odd situation to him, having her take care of him, and he's out of his element. "...Thanks."

"Well I know a lot of first aide. You can't always see a doctor," she points out.

"Some places it's just better if you don't."

She glances at him and smiles shyly. "You're welcome."

He's had Alfred around most of his life, doctors weren't needed unless it was really bad. And even then they had connections. If all else failed, make sure they kept the mask on if you had to rush someone to the ER.

"That's true but...I ah...appreciate your help," he admits rather shyly while looking away.
