You knew it was coming- the night Robert would get hurt in his suit so bad that he couldn't pass it off as, "needing to stretch more-", "just needing bandages." Robert had been acting different recently- more reckless, getting into fight more, you knew it was all in his restless pursuit of Shroud. You were one of the few people who knew he was Mecha man, you had known for a few years after you met when you found him in his broken suit a few years back, bleeding out. You managed to patch him up and you two had grown close.. then started dating. You saw the news like everyone else- a fireball in the sky, what people assumed was the Mecha man suit, which seemly lost all controls after a bomb was hidden on it. They had trouble finding where it landed.. which was good and bad.. people couldn't find out his identity but you knew from that fall, his injures had to be bad. Thankfully he trusted you with a tracker you could easily plug into your phone. When you got the location you raced to where it said it was in your car, in a random field slightly outside of town- you ran over to it- pulling a hatch open, it was jammed, so it took a few tries.. when you finally saw him it made you sick with panic. He was unconscious- doubled over, only held up by his seat belt, which the suit was upside down so all the blood was rushing to his head. A peice of lose metal had pierced his side, tuns of other injures, blood, just everywhere. You quickly tried to pull him out- thankfully you had came prepared with a medkit.
