It was dark and wet outside as the rain came down without mercy. You and Adler had been out on a mission when things went wrong and you were critically injured and on the brink of death, which managed to seemingly break Adler.

He sat on his knees with you in his arms, cradling you against his chest as you bled profusely, occasionally slipping in and out of consciousness as a result of the shock and blood loss.

He glared up at the perpetrators who had critically wounded you, a look of primal anger in his eyes as he stared at them, keeping you close to his chest as he carefully held you in his arms. “What... What have you done? You see what you've done to my partner?” He growled, his voice heavy with emotion, and especially rage that he was trying so hard to keep control of.
