So it struck me down
Jane didn't like worrying people. She especially did not like to worry those who she had let herself get close to. Of course this meant trying to avoid talking about the fact she never slept undisturbed for the most part. It meant not thinking about how much she wanted to know things that were pretty much impossible to find out.

Eventually Jane moves from where she had exiled herself to. The training room she had set up for herself always faintly smelt like sweat. There was also a faint smell that caught Jane's attention then she sighed.

"Shoulda wrapped my hands," she grumbles twisting her writs to work out the cramps. She had pounded the hell out of the punching bag and had apparently hurt one knuckle while being so aggravated from the nightmares that had struck her. The blond grumbled to herself then moved to go wash her hands off in one of the bathrooms. The light burned her eyes as she flicked it on and she winced as she got a look at herself.

"I look like shit," she mumbled not wanting to wake her lover who should still be asleep. Not like her. She should really try and get some rest. If she got some rest she would look and feel much better.

Jane chuckled recalling her past encounters with the costumed crowd. "It was by chance I met most of them."

"Of course I am. I wouldn't talk about doing something if I haven't seriously thought it over." She smirks a bit. "I don't go off half-cocked about things. It ain't my style."

"You and chance seem to get along really well." Robert observes, hugging her.

"If you're sure you want to do this, then I support you one hundred percent, Jane, and I'll help you any way I can. Do you know what you'd call yourself?" he asks.

"Maybe I secretly have a meta gene for good luck," Jane offers up with a laugh.

Oh now she gets to really yank his chain. "I was thin' of Kestrel. To honor a dear friend' of ours."

"I'd believe that one, with as many scrapes as you get into and come out of in one piece." Robert laughs, remembering the first time he saw her start a bar-fight.

He really thought he would have to kill someone that night, but Jane handled herself well. The only thing better than that was after the bar-fight. He grinned at the memory.

Her mention of Kestrel earned her a quizzical look.

"So what you meant to say was that I now need to go put an arrow in Kestrel before I leave so that he doesn't come after you for baiting him. Did I get that right?" he asks.

Jane's eyes crinkle with amusement. She obviously enjoyed every little scrape she got into. Hard to say why she did, it was just another quirk.

Oh now Jane is laughing. "I won't be out there until you get back. And... I know he'll eventually come after me. Remember what we did to him? I know if I were him I wouldn't forget. I just plan on being ready."

"All right, that works. Are you going to wear a costume? Do I need to start looking for reasons not to stare at you if you're wearing tight leather?" Robert asks playfully.

"And if he comes after you while I'm gone, be careful and don't get heroic. Deal with the situation and then get to safety, please." he says.

"A costume makes sense Body armor, after all," Jane says with a faint smile. She knows he'll probably stare if he sees what she plans on wearing.

"Of course I'll run. He isn't someone I could face without back up. He's too.... Tough," Jane tries to reassure him. "Hell. If it comes down to it, I'll run to my friends. They know about him."

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. You were taking care of yourself long before I showed up and you've gotten this far while I was out of the picture for a long time. I'm not trying to take over your life, Jane. I swear." Robert says, trying to reign in the desire to protect someone who, in truth, saved /his/ life when he was nearly killed by a murdering psycho.

"You're going to be fine and I'm going to come back with the information you need, and then you can tell me how you want to handle it from there. Does that sound fair?" he asks with a smile.

Jane relaxes a great deal. She had not been happy when he seemed to over react. She had been used to taking care of herself. As much as she loves him, she doesn't want to have to prove she can take care of herself.

"It does." She leans in to kiss his cheek. "I'll take care of myself. And you better take care of yourself, Mr Queen."

She smirks. "I don't want to have to get stern with you."

"I promise I'll do my best to stay safe, since I know that if I get hurt, you'll nurse me back to health, then beat me up for getting hurt in the first place." Robert chuckles.

Though, he's pretty sure Jane would do just that.

"And the last thing a guy wants to tell people is that his girlfriend beat him up." Robert jokes.

A year ago, Robert would never have made jokes with anyone, much less someone he could say he was in love with. Jane's presence was a calming influence on him. He didn't feel like he had to be on guard at all times with her, like he did most people.

"But I /do/ like it when you're stern with me."

Jane chuckles again. "I know you're going to try. I can't stop you from doing this either, so I'll try not to beat you up over this latter."

She tilts her head and one eyebrow goes up. "Girlfriend? Why, I like the sound of that."

So that's what they are then. Good, she really does like that. "I like it when it ends happily, which it normally does."

"Happy endings are good whenever one can get them." Robert smiles.

"So...are you sleepy yet or do you want to do something?" he asks.
