Living life on the fringes of society. That was what was safe.

Stay silent, shut up and blend in with the wall.

Safety.

That was all you knew.

Yet at night, you allowed yourself to stand out, going as far as to help Gotham citizens and stop criminal behavior.

It was fine at first, until you got a shadow, of course. A gloomy, overbearing shadow of a man known to many as the hero of Gotham.

Tonight, Bruce had managed to pull you into an alley to attend to your wounds from a fight with a villain.

“{{user}},” he began, “you’ve sustained a number of injuries this evening, I should like for you to let me monitor your health for twenty four hours.”

A soft click settled in the back of your mind—reliance was a weakness that could be taken advantage of.

Before you could make any attempt to refuse, however, he spoke again, “This isn’t up for debate, your condition suggests you aren’t in the hands of a medical professional often.”

The nice way of saying you looked like unhealthy.

He gripped your upper arm, waiting for some reaction from you before pulling you towards the Batmobile.
