Homecoming II: The Batcave

Sep 15, 2005 01:14

The jet makes its landing in the Cave precisely 2.9 hours after leaving Tibet. As the ramp lowers, the light briefly silhouettes the three young men who carry the broken Bruce Wayne between them as they did from Ra's al-Ghul's ruined fortress. Intubated, unconscious, the paraphernalia on and surrounding him is the stuff of TV hospital dramas ( Read more... )

"Welcome home."

_nightwing_ September 14 2005, 23:03:19 UTC

He reaches out to her, hand resting on her shoulder as they come within touching distance.

Hey.

oracle_watching September 14 2005, 23:05:21 UTC

"Hey. Still pregnant. Baby fine. Love you."

_nightwing_ September 14 2005, 23:14:27 UTC

His hand squeezes her shoulder as he leans in to kiss the top of her head.

Missed you, too.

"How is he, Dick?"

_nightwing_ September 14 2005, 23:13:17 UTC

He turns his head to look at him for a moment, checking the small monitors once more.

BP is ninety over sixty, pulse ox approximately eighty per cent and steady. Knee's been stablized. Collapsed lung, suctioned and reinflated, but he may need surgery. He's intubated, needs a CT scan, blood gas, I'm guessing two more units of crossmatched --

"Dick." Her tone is sharp. "How is he? And how, for that matter, are you? Will we need more than one bed?"

_nightwing_ September 14 2005, 23:19:51 UTC

He looks blankly back at her, as if mentally trying to shift gears; part of him resisting it.

He's...

He looks to Barbara, and across at Jason briefly.

I think he's okay.

Of course, he hasn't answered the second question.

Her timing is pretty good all things considered. Selina rides in on the motorcycle, sliding off of it, even as she's still coming to a stop. Slipping the helmet off, she hooks it on one of the handles and grabs the saddle bags she and hauls them toward him.

When she gets closer, she starts to pull out the statues, looking all around for places to put them and, at the moment, not looking toward Bruce.

He can see well enough that the rest is out of his hands. After placing Batman down, he makes a direct line to resupply and inventory as he does. He notices all those around him but seems to be thinking of something totally else.

oracle_watching September 15 2005, 00:03:59 UTC

"Hey." She waits for him to turn to her. "Welcome home, Jason."

last_joke_x September 15 2005, 00:07:50 UTC

He seems to just look at her for a moment as if unsure what to say. Home? Though he gives a curt nod after placing the last of equipment within. "Mask is on. Red or Red Robin." His stare is almost like that of a confused kitten or puppy but it breaks when he checks that everything he has is in place.

"You should probably take it off before you break out. Spirit gum gets nasty afer a while."

Tim flops in a nearby chair, grateful to be home, and watches Leslie as she works.

He can't help but maintain an eye on the monitors - he's been watching them for such a long time it's hard to stop now.

_nightwing_ September 15 2005, 01:02:23 UTC

Dick passes by, returning from his exchange with Jason, and ruffles Tim's hair as he does so.

Hey, kiddo.

_robin_ September 15 2005, 11:20:23 UTC

Hey bro. You ok?

He glances towards Oracle.

How's Barbara?

_nightwing_ September 15 2005, 19:55:47 UTC

She's okay. Go upstairs, take a shower and get some sleep already, before I knock you out. I'll let you know if anything changes.

He's not going to take an argument.
