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.

She woke up to that and her alarm going off. The alert had woken her up since it was attached to a device she keeps close at hand.

"Shit. Robin?"

She's running to hide side to see what the hell is going on. There is blood everywhere.

He barely even registers her entrance, all his concentration is going into trying not to stab himself more while stitching the deepest wound.

"Stop," she's at his side feeling sick to her stomach. "You're loosing too much blood this way. Let me."

She might puke she's so scared. She's never seen someone hurt this badly before. Not even herself.

It finally hits him that she's right beside him. He blinks for a few moments, trying to remember why she'd be here at all. Oh...this was her safehouse. Right.

"Hey Foxy," he manages weakly. "Just needed some of your supplies, hope you don't mind..." He looks back down, it's getting hard to see straight. What was he even doing again? Stitching, right. He should continue.

"No. Not at all," she takes the needle from him.

"Hold still," she says seriously. "Wouldn't want you waste them by doing a bad job. You numb the area yet?"

With what little strength he has, he pushes himself away from the wall, so he's not propped up and bleeding out so quickly, and almost collapses the rest of the way to the floor.

"Not sure," he finally answers. He really couldn't tell at this point. It was all such a blur and the blinding pain was messing with his head, not to mention losing blood from various wounds wasn't helping either.

So she grabs the bottles and sprays the numbing fluid on his wounds just in case.

"Come on, hero. Don't pass out on me," she orders.

"You gotta stick around. Keep me out of trouble," she orders him sounding.... Well. She's scared but he might not understand that right now.

He hisses in pain but manages to stay conscious.

"Don't know...you're trouble all on your own," he smiles weakly, too hurt to fuss about her taking over with the stitching.

"Not my fault," she says trying to sound innocent as she gets to work. He had started out okay but she's better.

He won't even scar if she does this right.

"I was raised by a master thief and I'm set in my ways. Only thing that makes me real trouble is needing you to.... help me rescue myself. So to speak."

She's probably better when it comes to stitching than he is at his best, and given that he's far from that right now, it's a good thing she took over.

In his delirious state, the meaning of her words doesn't quite register. If he remembers this later then he'll realize what she's saying, but as it is now he's oblivious.

"Didn't want you to be blackmailed," he mumbles, trying to keep talking to stay awake.

"Yes but I don't want anyone getting hurt because of me.... especially people I care about," she says seriously.

And yes she is better. She made her uniform and she's done so much with her tools. It's because she's good.

She hates she is putting him back together. This isn't supposed to happen.

"We'll get him out of there don't worry," he mumbles a bit. Though part of him wonders if he counts in that category. If he was in better shape he'd realize it fully.

He tries to be at least somewhat helpful. "Do the one on my left thigh after this one. That's the next deepest. The rest are more shallow." His vision is swimming and he's fighting to stay conscious, it's getting harder though. He's starting to realize he won't be able to drag himself back to the cave.

Before he even opens his eyes, Thomas registers that he's in an unfamiliar place. Which, given his night-time activities, wasn't an unfamiliar situation. But it's difficult to go through the usual precautions and protocol for the situation when feeling light-headed and where everything ached. And he hadn't even moved anything yet.

What had happened? Last he remembered there was a gang fight that turned violent and...oh. He'd come to her safehouse. For a moment he looks wide-eyed and instantly feels to check if his mask is still there. It was. And nobody had tampered with it. That was...reassuring.

He glances around the room from his position on the bed, surveying his surroundings.

He's in her bedroom. He might notice that there's lots of medical supplies laying around. And a big book because she had been making sure she had done everything right.

And there she is in a chair fast asleep. She had been keeping an eye on him.

Glancing over at her, he's rather touched. She'd stayed and made sure he was okay, hadn't touched his mask, and hadn't given him over to the mob, despite what a good bargaining chip he'd make. She could've probably gotten her freedom by handing him over. But she hadn't.

Carefully propping himself up on an elbow, he has to clench his teeth to keep from making any noise as he ends up pulling stitches accidentally. He doesn't want to wake her while he tries to get out of bed.

She twitches in her sleep. Sleeping like that can't be good. The bad part is when her elbow comes crashing down on a table she's next to.

She cusses vividly as she jerks away. It takes her a minute then she actually smiles. "You're awake."

Oh that makes her feel better.

He freezes, halfway through getting out of bed. He won't mention he had planned to sneak out. She wouldn't take that well.

"Sleep walking," he corrects lightly. Yes, he's trying to compensate for the fact that she'd seen him...well she'd seen him in not his best condition.

"You should get back in bed," she comments as she tries to work out a kink in her shoulder. Her back hurts too.

She won't be happy if he tries leaving too soon.

"I need to get back. They're probably worried." Now that he thinks about it...he has no idea how long he's been out.

Carefully standing up, but using the bed as support, he finds he's still shaky on his legs and can't put much weight on his left. She had managed to get his boots off, which he's sure must have taken a while.

"They'd be more worried if they saw you now," she points out.

"You need to rest," she points out. "You're not well right now.....If I have to I'll hide your uniform."

She looks dead serious.

"Well, no word all night and I didn't come back so..." He really is just guessing at how long he's been here.

"I'm well enough to-argh!" He put too much weight on that left leg and lost his balance. But between that and being lightheaded? Not a good combination. On reflex he reaches out to catch himself but in the process stretches too far and pulls stitches in the wound in his abdomen and crumples in a ball to the floor.

"Son of a.... Do you want to give me a heart attack?"

She is at his side pretty quickly. She wants to be sure he hasn't seriously hurt himself. The stitches don't look very happy when she checks them. That makes her want to glare at him.

"You can't go right now. Your leg is pretty messed up. There's no way you can put any weight on it," she says gently. "You need a day or two, Robin. Even then I still think you shouldn't try going."

He's still curled into a ball and holds a hand up to indicate he needs a moment.

Once he's recovered enough to speak again, he shoots her a stubborn look, "I can't just stay here either."

"Why not? You can't move on that leg and I can't carry you," she points out.
