Recap: After being chased and shot, Robin falls unconscious and wakes up in a mysterious room. She escapes and literally runs into a huge, scary man.

The large man growled menacingly. I backed up slowly, still in shock, and the movement caused white spots to dance around my vision. I winced and faltered, waiting for them to disappear, and immediately the man's whole demeanor changed. "Are you alright?" He asked. I assumed he had a scary affectation just for me, as his posture slumped, and his face took on a worried look. Then, he caught sight of my arms. And hands. His eyes widened slightly, and he knelt down and scooped me up in his arms. I struggled halfheartedly, but gave up as I realized I was caught in his iron grip. And probably couldn't get out. My training didn't account for me with a hurt body. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my shoulder, and I fell unconscious. Well... actually, I fainted. But falling unconscious sounds much better right?

When I came to, my first thought was, Wow, I've been fainting a lot. I pried my eyelids open and looked around. After I determined nothing nearby posed a threat, I tried to sit up. The motion brought tears to my eyes, and I bit my lip to keep from screaming in pain. I slowly stood, and blood rushed to my head. I crumbled to the ground, not able to hold myself up.

John POV
From the loud thump in the infirmary, I assumed the girl was awake. Mary heard too. She sighed and stood. Then, she proceeded to open the door. I walked in next, looming over her. I looked around and saw the girl slumped forward on the ground. Her head shot up, and she looked at us wearily, knowing she couldn't win. Mary sighed. She started slowly advancing forward, and, trying to get away from them, the girl stumbled backwards and landed on her butt. Mary stopped, "We aren't going to hurt you," she said softly. The girl still conttinued scooting back. Then, I saw her glance at me, then relax slightly. Mary nodded her head at me, and I walked over and picked the girl up. I gently set her into bed, and Mary gave me a look. I got the point and hastily left the room.
After giving the girl some tea, Mary came out. I looked at her beseechingly. "She ignored half the things I said," she huffed. "I don't know how long I can keep her if she's always like that." I sighed, knowing that she probably is always like that. "I'll take her," I say. Startled, my eyes widened. When did I decide that? I didn't even mean to say that! Oh whatever, I thought. I'll probably get used to her. Mary gave me a weird look, but agreed. I don't know why, but I smiled. I grinned like a maniac. For the first time in years. For no apparent reason. I sighed. I seriously need to get over this.

I fixed all the chapters after I realized I forgot some stuff.
