Fractured

Part 4

The bay doors opened and we were greeted with a pissed off Black Canary. She had her arms folded and was tapping her foot impatiently. She shook her head as we gathered and then pinched the bridge of her nose while exhaling heavily. She took a minute to compose herself and then took a deep breath and began.

"Your orders were simple. Get in. Get out. Stealth only." She was slow and deliberate with her words, but you could hear the anger she was trying to suppress. "Batman is off patrolling right now, but I'm sure he has a ton to say about your performance." She looked around at the team, "Does anyone want to tell me what the hell happened?"

I sheepishly started to raise my hand. "It was my fault! I didn't check before I went down." I looked to my left and saw that Miss M was butting in trying to save my ass. "No it wasn't her fault. She's just trying to cover for me. We were in the air vent and I saw the containers, so I went in first. I didn't see anyone so I jumped down and well Cheshire was waiting..." my voice trailed off and I had looked down. I had subconsciously started to cradle my wrist. I let my arm fall to my side and looked up. "Robin, I expected more from you. I'm sure Batman will address you. As for the rest of you," She turned to face the team. "You have early morning training starting at 0530. Do NOT to be late." She turned and walked off.

"Robin come to medbay so I can switch the gauze on your wound." I put a hand on Kaldur's shoulder, "Thanks buddy, but I better get to the Batcave... Batman is already pissed." I turned and limped. I gritted my teeth and tried to walk as normal as I could. The last thing I wanted Batman to know is that I not only failed a mission but got hurt in the process.

I sat in a chair and was trying to switch out the gauze for my puncture wound. I didn't want to be bleeding on the floor while Batman was lecturing me. I peeled back the existing gauze and threw it away. I put a new gauze on and wrapped it a bit then stood up. I put my cape a little more over my shoulders so It covered me like a cocoon. This way it covered my injured thigh, and I could cradled my wrist without Batman noticing. 

Enter Batman 02

Oh here we go...
