He had ignored Alfred's advice and had gone out again. Black Mask had wounded him severely, but he wasn't going to let that man know; he wanted to remain a presence, do what he could for this city.
Even if it killed him?
Hopefully it wouldn't come to that...
He had already taken down two muggers and left them for the police, but he was racked with pain. He couldn't keep going.

Kate strolled through the alleys, trying to find anyone that might need her help. She knew that she should be sleeping for her 8 AM meeting with some guy from her father's company, but she couldn't sleep. So, she decided to go out for a bit of a run. Over rooftops. While dress as a bat.

Bruce pulled himself onto the rooftop and laid himself down, groaning. He was sure his wound had reopened by now. Shit, he had to get this taken care of, and rest...

As Kate watched she saw a black blotch on the edge of the roof. She hurried over, seeing that whoever it was was injured. "Are you okay?" Kate called over in her fake southern belle tone voice.

He grabbed a Batarang and turned, ready to loose it. Oh...it was that woman again...

Kate walked over to him and stopped when she saw the batarang. It was him again. "You okay?"

"I'm fine," he growled.

"I'm a soldier" Kate pointed out as she walked over, stepping in front of him. "I know when someone is injured. Let me guess, you got stabbed in the stomach?"

"...shot," he muttered, coming up, using the piece of wall he leaned on for support.

"It doesn't matter," he told he, "It's been a week since. It's healing."

"So you decided to risk letting it open again" Kate said, forcing herself to emulate her captain. She was a soldier, he was a civilian. "Where si the wound? How much does that suit weigh?"

"It'll be fine," he told her, "It's none of your concern."

"And what happens if I let you go, hm? Given what the papers say, you'll stand up, and run after the first mugger you see. And what if your wound gets up and you get sloppy." Kate's tone had become judgmental and authoritative - but she was speaking in her real voice. "And then some knucklehead will hit you with a lucky punch and leave you on your ass. And he'll become the man who killed the Batman. And then the Black Mask and the Joker and Cluemaster will run wild. So answer the question!"

"I've done my work for tonight," he said, "I don't plan on overexerting myself."
