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.

Jane was still working on her own hair. It's still slightly tangled from the shower but she looks up and smirks.

"For science of course. Plenty of people could benefit from our knowledge."

"You know, people could benefit from a lot of the things we've seen, you and I." Robert says.

"However, I'd like to keep my scientific findings about you to myself. I mean, why give the competition inside information?" he smiles.

Jane wasn't blushing. Too busy trying to dry her hair for that. But she did smirk widely.

"Well, given I like my secrets I think I can live with that."

"Well, good." he says, kissing her shoulder, then beginning to pace the floor.

"How well would you say your friend knows Oliver Queen, out of curiosity?" he asks.

"Very well," Jane says after a moment. She knows Mia would be able to tell Robert something. A heck of a lot more than she can.

"All right. Does this person live in Gotham or do I need to go Star City?" he asks.

"Star City," she ops onto her bed curling up on one side. She is watching him now trying to decide what to do next. There is a great deal she still needs to work out.

Like talking to Mia.

"Since this is your friend, I'll wait until you're comfortable with introducing us." he says, taking a seat, as pacing has sapped some of his energy. Well, the rest of his energy.

"I was headed to Star City at some point anyway, so I guess this is as good a reason to go as my last one." Robert says.

"I'll need to talk to her." That was true. She needed to figure out how to say to her friend.

"Your last one? Well, that sounds ominous," Jane teases looking up at him. She had no idea what his plans had been. But now that she thought about it, he was probably out to ruin Oliver Queen in more ways than one.

"I was going to confront him after I blew up one of his warehouses and ask him why he abandoned me. I don't even know why I care so much, Jane. I shouldn't, but I do." Robert says.

"But I'll stay my hand until after I talk to your friend, if I do." he says.
