Sometime in the future
It's been a long and hard night of detective work for Thomas. A rash of killings has hit Gotham and the victims seem unconnected no matter what angle they've looked at. Was it the beginnings of a gang war or a random killer on the loose? So far interrogating the scum all over the city has been useless. They know nothing. Not in the way where they know something and aren't telling, but they genuinely don't know anything about the mystery killer or killers he's hunting. He's not sure if the possibility that this is an isolated individual should relieve him or not, after all, so far they've got no real evidence that it's even one killer or that these killings are related. But there's no such thing as coincidence for a detective.

Thomas decides to rest at one of the nearby satellite caves Batman has set up around Gotham over the years, it's cold and rainy and he's sick of hitting dead ends. This is one of the smaller ones, stocked with basic gear, a civilian change of clothes, first aid and some food. It also happens to be the one he's told the Fox about. Not that he'd admit to doing that if any of the others asked. But if she wanted to find him or needed help, he wanted her to have a safe spot to go. Maybe that's why he seems to gravitate towards this one whenever he can, it's not like he ever expects her there though.

He shakes out the rain from his cape as he enters and is about to peel of the mask when he sees the bleeding figure on the floor.

"I would have forced myself over to the kit no matter how bad it hurt had you been much longer," she points out softly. She takes his hand and puts it on her ribs guiding him to a fading scar on the side.

"I treated this myself two years ago. I got shot at." Then she shifts his and on-top the side of her hip. "Under my suit I have six faded out scars that I can't even see. Knife fight in the Middle East. Infiltration went bad. My mentor had to clock the guy out while I played distraction. He decided I needed to learn to stitch myself up so.... he guided my hand that night. Made sure I didn't hurt myself."

She looks sad for a moment. She misses the real Fox so much. "My point is.... I trust you. And I won't die. I promise you I'm not doing to die like that."

They really are too close. But she can't let him know that. And she can't let him know how much he effects her.

"Sometimes you won't be able to force yourself...trust me." Staying silent as she guides his hand over her scars, he listens to her stories and thinks of all of his that he won't tell. About the time he stepped in to save Dick, only to leave his left side open and be almost sliced in half. How one of his early Robin missions as a kid had him shot twice, once through the shoulder and another buried between ribs on his side. There's countless other knife fight scars and others from nasty falls but he stays silent. She's had training, that comforts him but sometimes your luck turns...

He doesn't say that he trusts her back, even though he might, he's still not sure. "...I'd like if you didn't die like that." Thomas tries to force some cheer into his voice now, "I expect you on a roof two weeks from now with that smile you have. I won't accept excuses."

If he trusted her she would call him a fool. He can't until she's free and clear of the men blackmailing her.

"I know but I can try."

Now that has her smirking up at him. "I should steal something interesting just so you'll frisk me," she purrs playfully up at him. Her eyes are twinkling in amusement at the idea.

"And if I'm not up there..." Her eyes wander over to where she sees a change of clothes. "You might just find me curled up in this bed wearing one of your shirts Robin."

That's an evil thing to say.

	"Hmm I'll have to do a thourough search then. And not let anything get away." He's smirking back and enjoying thinking of this scenario. The next comment has him pause and raise an eyebrow, "...you can take as many of them as you want. You don't even need to wear them...at all." Okay, she got him that time. Well played Foxy.

"How generous of you," Sarah teases him.

Then she shifts slightly feeling a little uncomfortable. "Robin. Could you undo the lacing connecting the top of my suit with the bottom? I can't rest like this and I don't want to pull these stitches."

Thankfully for the both of them she is in a bra that covers a great deal even while her torso is slick with sweat and streaks of blood.

What does Alfred say? Be a gentleman at all times. "Sure." He gingerly sets out to undo the lacing, being very careful not to aggravate her wounds. Once again he's grateful of all that practice he's had threading his arm through lasers and getting out of straitjackets in under a minute. Cause if not he might fumble a bit.

He's very careful to concentrate only on the parts he's undoing, innerAlfred would disapprove if he let himself look when she was so vulnerable. Stay the gentleman Thomas.

	He really is doing a good job. She had a good reason to trust him. Once he is done she lets her lower back go back against the bed. Then she lets out a low sigh. That was better. "Thanks," she croaks softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No problem. Did you need anything else? Now or for the next few days. If you're going to be here for a few days you should ask now, I'll check up on you but I won't be here the whole time..." He makes a quick scan of the place, making sure there's nothing he needs to remove before he leaves. The extra utility belt and uniform are long gone, ever since he told her about the place, so this has become just a place to take a breather.

	"I wouldn't say no to a shirt," Sarah decides. "I can't stay like this the whole time I'm here." She also wants to clean off the drying blood before it becomes an issue latter. Cleaning blood that has already dried always bugs her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thomas leaves to go find a shirt and a glass of water, he had given her that morphine to take dry. Gently tossing her a shirt before handing over the water he teases, "Well you did say you'd like to be curled up here wearing one of my shirts..." He'll get her one more her size for the next time he comes to check up on her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

When she pulls it on the whole shirt just makes her look small. It nearly falls past her hips. She will do something about the blood latter she just doesn't want to be topless right now.

"It works for now." She shifts and chuckles. "I never realized how much bigger than me you were. It was never a big deal since my body armor probably almost evened us out as far as weight went."

No way. He's still so much bigger than her.

	Thomas chuckles at her almost swimming in his shirt. "It's mostly height. Besides, my armour seems a lot lighter than yours." Thank you obsessive Batman and lightweight armour. How else would he do all those flips? "You look better wearing my shirts than I do," he just smirks at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like knowing my insides are well protected. Too bad the armor didn't save me from that son of a bitch," she mutters darkly. It was probably crazy she could pull off similar moves in her armor but she had trained to do that. "Well to be fair.... I have nicer breasts," she points out cockily.

	He gently places his hand on her shoulder,"It's not a miracle worker. We all get caught off guard sometimes, don't dwell on it too much." That gets a smirk, "I've noticed. And I'm very willing to let you win in that category any day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She blinks because he just and pulled her back from the edge. Somehow. That leaves her blushing faintly up at him for a moment. She had never needed someone to rescue her from herself before. Now she's chuckling and smirking up at him. "Well good. It would be disturbing if you tried competing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2011-11-30 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, she's got him laughing. "I'm sure most women would lose to you. We should check to make sure this isn't an isolated incident though, you'll need to try on my other shirts too. Just to check." She'll get another of many smirks right back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Give my breasts that much thought have you?" She's trying to not look too entertained by that. "I'm sure you wouldn't mind watching me try them out," she purrs teasingly as she shifts slightly to get comfortable. She'll miss her bed while she's up here. This is very narrow for her tastes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2011-11-30 04:47 pm UTC (link)
	"You make it sound like I don't give the rest of you that much thought." Yeah the smirk is still there. "Well if you ever do, be sure to invite me for the show." He can see she's uncomfortable and he moves even more so that he's now barely perched on the very edge. The beds here aren't for comfort, but for the point past exhaustion where you don't care anymore. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well.... You do seem to get a lot of enjoyment out of chasing me." Now she winks at him. She sighs audibly and flops mindful of the stitches. "Sure. It's always fun to see how much I can distract you..... Though. It is really hard to get you to blush." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Why wouldn't I? You pull off that suit too well for me not to..."

He waits to be sure she hasn't ripped open the stitches before continuing, "Just because I don't blush doesn't mean you don't distract me. When you have to work with and fight against women in spandex you learn not to blush pretty quickly. I will admit to a weakness for gorgeous women who can pull off a leather suit..." The last part is accompanied with a wink

	"I was just pointing out you have a great deal of self control," Sarah is smiling again. The morphine is starting to make her feel drowsy. She knows sooner or latter she'll have to rest for a while. She doesn't really want to though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2011-11-30 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	Thomas is smiling back, "I was always told that was a good thing." He can see she's tired and needs rest so he gets up to leave. The blanket is rather thin and now stained with blood, so he takes his cape off and drapes it over her. "I'll come tomorrow with some stuff you might need. Good night Sarah." (Reply to this)(Parent)
