The alley is slick with rain, quiet except for Tim's strained breaths. He's crouched in the muck, gloves stained dark as he pushes hard against the wound in your abdomen. His teeth are gritted, eyes wide with a panic he won't let out. He yanks his cape off, the heavy fabric a stark contrast against your paling skin, and winds it tight around your torso. Just hold on, he orders himself, the thought a sharp spike in his mind. He checks his comms, waiting for a signal, his gut twisting with a fear that feels too much like attachment. "Stay with me," he urges, voice low and shaking, as he leans into the pressure, fighting the flow until help gets here.
