Running all the way back to scull rock, we all huddle together nervously underneath the boulder for protection as we pray that the demobats can't find us here.
My hand unconsciously interlocks with Eddie's again, finding myself a tiny bit calmer as I lean into with his familiar warmth.
It feels like we've been waiting for at least an hour, shaking and holding our breaths until the sound of screeching high above us becomes less and less loud.
"Okay, that was close." Robin exclaims as we watch the demobats retreat into the distance.
"Yeah, too close..." Steve sighs in relief as he stands, trying to walk but then stumbles woozily.
"Oh, shit..." He mutters out as he braces himself onto the rock wall, looking dazed and exhausted.
"Steve?" Nancy asks softly, finally noticing how bad his wounds have gotten.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." He tries to reassure her, but stumbles and almost collapses as he tries to keep upright.
"No, no, no you're not! You're losing blood. Come on, sit." Nancy orders and he slides down onto the ground with a groan, his head thrown back against the wall as he winces in pain.
"Here, I have a first aid kit in my bag." I reluctantly let got of Eddie's hand to take off my backpack and open it quickly, rummaging around for what I need and then throwing the kit towards Nancy.
She catches it easily and gets to work disinfecting his wounds and bandaging him up.
I walk away as Robins starts to talk to Steve about rabies again and start to notice an increasing sting in my right leg as I walk.
Looking down, I find my sheer black tights ripped at the knees and blood dripping out of a nasty scrape. I must've gotten banged up when going through the gate and didn't even notice because of all the adrenaline pumping through my system.
"Aren't you gunna step in there too?" Eddie appears next to me with his arms crossed a moment later, motioning over to Nancy playing nurse.
"Nah, I think she has it covered." I tell him with a shrug. Blood and stuff like that always made me a bit queasy. Plus I don't want to interrupt her and Steve's moment.
"Doesn't that bother you though? The way he's looking at her like that?" He comments as we both watch Steve give Nancy googly eyes while she wraps his stomach in cloth.
"No? Steve and Nancy have history so that's normal. why would you think that?" I tell him honestly, giving him a weird look at his odd question and he flusters slightly, scratching the back of his head.
"I just-I thought you and Steve had a thing going on..." Eddie tries to explain and a dumbfounded laugh escapes my mouth.
"As if! Steve is like my brother, that would just be weird." I snort at the assumption, kinda amused that he thought me and Steve could ever be a thing. Yuck.
