He holds her close, smelling the death on her, the coppery tang of too much blood spilled - her blood - and knows this time, they’re lucky.
Some time in the future, they might not be, and Roy knows that, too, but for now, he is only too aware that her heart is beating in her chest - labored, yes, she’s lost so much blood - but still beating, and it will continue to beat, and she will live.
“Don’t die on me,” she whispers in his ear, and Roy squeezes his sightless eyes tightly closed.
“No. Never,” he promises, hoping he doesn’t lie.
