Bending Rules

The moment he determined he was well enough to attempt a short patrol without seriously hurting himself he took his chance to sneak out. Being stuck in that manor for so long was just too much. Besides, aside from making sure he didn't land badly on his left leg and didn't do too many back flips and swings through the skyline which (he found the hard way) was still too much for the wound just below his rib, he was doing pretty well. He'd even been good and stuck to using the motorbike for most of the patrol.
 
But as his luck would have it he ran across a group on their way to try and rob a bank. Of course, had these idiots been anything but the basest of amateurs it might have been interesting, but as it was he'd ended up ditching the bike to follow them and then camping out and watching from a nearby roof as they tried to get in. For over an hour. It should not have taken anywhere near that long to get past the whole thing let alone the first level of security. The feeling of freedom from confinement was the only thing that let him put up with it. He was sorely tempted to break in and get through the security for them. Just so he could have something to charge them with already. This was such a waste of his time.
 
When they finally got through (about time, he thinks), he decided to give them a few minutes head start before he broke in too. Through a different way. Just to make this interesting.
 
Finally he'd get to do some crimefighting. Although that these amateurs even considered themselves worthy of calling themselves thieves and attempting to break into this sort of bank (it was clear someone smarter had given them the appropriate instructions and equipment for this job) irked him.
 
They'd learn the hard way about amateurish stealing in Gotham.

"It wasn't a luck shot. The cape is made to draw gunfire away from me and make the cape the target instead. It's part of the reason we have them," he points out calmly.

He's not going to say he's sick of resting and being useless because he let some knife-wielding gangs get the jump on him when he should have been good enough to take them without getting that injured.

"And your face is bleeding!" She is trying to stop herself from totally breaking down. She's just very upset about this whole thing.

"And you're still stupid!"

"It's a scratch. They always bleed more and look worse if you get one above the eye," he calmly explains. She really seemed to be taking this whole thing badly.

"Foxy, calm down. I'm alright." He's glad they've left the bank so he can try talking this out. And it was hard enough patrolling, taking those guys down and chasing after her. His leg wasn't happy with him at all. And his side was complaining too.

"I am calm!"

No she isn't. She still wants to yell at him. He has her really upset right now. She doesn't want to have to tell him why she's so upset either.

He's stupid after all.

He just gives her a disbelieving and sceptical look. Right. This was calm.

She really does look hurt though, and it can't just be because he's skirting the rules and patrolling before he should. There was something else.

"You're going home," she decides.

"And I'm going home." And she's going to sulk at a pint of ice cream. Because she really didn't like being reminded of why she was here. In Gotham.

"No."

He reaches out to stop her from leaving and turns her to face him. "We need to talk Sarah." About whatever was bothering her so much. And he needs to give his leg a moment of rest. It really wasn't happy with him.

"No we don't." She twists away from him just.... glaring.

"I don't want to."

"Because that solves everything," he rolls his eyes. "Let's move out of here and find somewhere else to talk. Come on." He won't be taking no for an answer.

Oh not only is he stupid but he's a pushy jerk too. She's going to just give him a dirty look.

"Fine." She's not happy and if looks could kill? Well. Don't talk about that right away.

He'll be pushy since she's being stubborn. And taking this too personally. Have a bat-glare meets frown.

They make their way across rooftops, he pretends to let her lead but really he's kind of tired and his body is starting to ache.

She gets them to one of her places. One of the ones he has been to with her before. She could have led him to a closer one he knew she had but she didn't know he knew about it.

And she didn't feel like trusting him tonight.

He takes note of the choice of the farther location but doesn't say anything. She's still mad at him it seems.

And when they get there?

She ignores him. Just puts her belt and tools up. She won't even look his way right now.

He leans against some of her furniture, trying to look like he was doing it intentionally and not because he was tired.

She's totally playing the 'not looking' game If she doesn't look she won't have to talk.

Not going to work. He isn't going anywhere anytime soon. But he does need to get her attention. He has patrol to get back to.

Picking up a nearby lock set of hers, he starts going through it and examining each piece.

"Please be careful with those."

She won't look at him still. "They were my first set."

"They're good for a first set," he admits while examining them closely. His was a smaller set on a key ring, ones a small child could use easily.

Yes, he's waiting for her to look at him again.

She gives up and turns around to look at him. Her face is blank and she looks.... still upset.

He looks up from the lock picks and gives her a concerned look. "I'm not going to die Sarah." She seemed awfully concerned about that, which he does like that she cares about him enough to show that, he doesn't want her that upset.

Oh now that has her even more pissed off.

"That's not why I'm mad! Do you even get it? Fox got hurt on a job! That's why I'm being black mailed! And you're putting yourself t risk doing this!"

Now she is actually shouting at him.

[info]cantkeepmeout

That's why she was mad? He clearly doesn't think the situation translates well at all.

"I'm putting myself at risk fighting crime at all, I don't see your point. What I do is inherently risky. And what are you worried about? That me getting hurt will result in you being blackmailed? I don't see that happening," he almost growls.

"Being a thief is dangerous work too. Or did you happen to forget about me with that gunshot wound?" The look she gives him is icy.

"You have back up. I don't. Use the goddamn resources you have available to you! At least for five more days."

"I am well aware being a thief is dangerous," he almost hisses. He knew this better than he should admit to her. It was too close to secret ID territory.

"And what am I supposed to do? Sit on my ass being useless while crime goes on in Gotham and my 'back up' as you would call it has to go out there with one less person to cover this city? It's dangerous for everyone and I can't just take days off when I want to. So what, now I'm supposed to know they're going out without me to be backup and for every crime I don't stop someone else has to do it and increase their chances of getting hurt? Or if they don't stop it then whoever it is gets away with it? And for what? Because I wasn't-" He cuts himself off and just fumes. He can't admit the last part out loud, it'd be too much.
