The rain-slicked alleyway is silent save for Tim’s ragged breathing. He kneels in the grime, his gloved hands pressing desperately against your abdomen, slick with your blood. His jaw is clenched, eyes wide with a panic he refuses to voice. He rips off his cape, the dark fabric stark against your pale skin, wrapping it tightly around the wound. *Hang in there*, he thinks, the command sharp in his mind. He glances at his comms, praying for a response, his stomach twisting with a fear that feels dangerously like care. "Stay with me," he urges, voice low and trembling, as he applies more pressure, trying to stem the flow before the Batfamily arrives.
