Alive...barely.
(Back-dated to June 1st)

Time flows away from him too quickly then speeds away from him as he pulls himself out of the murky waters of Keystone City, clutching the wound in his gut. He can feel it burning already and wonders how long it will be before the fever and hallucinations start. Cheshire used a poison like this on him once, during his training. He'd been sick for three days, all the while trying to keep hired killers off his back.

Compared to that, this should be a walk in the park. Stumbling away from the scene of his fight with Merlyn's daughter, Robert Queen fights to put one foot in front of the other. Coming upon a passerby as he stumbles down the streets of Keystone, he manages to steal said person's cellular phone as he doesn't have one.

It takes him a couple of tries to dial the number in question and he leaves a voice-mail when he realizes she's not available.

"It's Robert. I need you. I'll....be there in two days..." he groans, before hanging up.

Two days later, there is a knock on Jane's door. If she answers, Robert Queen, aka Jake King, promptly falls through her front door, pale, feverish and in very bad shape.

She nodded.

"If I knew where I came from....I suppose I might feel the same way." It has started to matter less and less to Jane though lately. She smiles at him though. The first actual one that was full of honesty the others before had been more restrained.

"Please do. You might find out more about where you came from that way. And would that be such a bad thing?"

	Despite his anger, Robert smiles back at Jane. "I have no money to pay you with, but...if you have information regarding Oliver Queen and his family, I will find a way to trade you for it." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jane finds it hard not to blush. She has no idea what he would trade. Then she starts to get it. "I can help you get in touch with one of his former charges. If you....give me your word to stay calm. I don't have a whole lot of people I can honestly say I'm friends with." That would explain a hell of a lot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Robert thinks about it a moment. He doesn't want to ruin anything for Jane, but he needs the information. He takes a deep breath. "Well, I'm not in the right condition to meet someone just now, but I accept your offer. I'd also like it if we can have dinner. I..really missed your cooking." he says.

	"I can do that," she mutters softly. Then fidgets slightly. "Soup though. For you. Solid food might not be such a good idea while you're fighting an infection. I make a very awesome soup." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe I could get a shower in, too?" he asks softly. "If you're not busy, we could save water and...you know." he says. "Then, I'll try the soup." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She tries not to chuckle. "You do realize that's one way to not save water?" Oh now she's actually blushing. She is giving that some serious thought. He should be recovering, not doing anything to strain himself. "Don't strain yourself. I'd feel bad if you agitated your injury," Jane says firmly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Robert takes her hand and draws it her fingers to his lips. "Compared to the water we'd use showering separately, I think we'd save. I hear there are studies." he grins. "And I promise that I won't hurt myself. I'll let you know at the first sign of discomfort, Jane." he says, kissing each of her fingers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She raises an eyebrow but is obviously quite amused by him. Otherwise he wouldn't have her hand still. "Well, Mr King." Calling him Mr Queen would just be weird. "Let's go test that theory then." She will help him up since she is certain he still needs it to at least stand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thought you'd never ask." he says, letting her help him up to go test a theory about water conservation. (Reply to this)(Parent)
