Poking the wound or calming it while he was already in pain?
Either way, Jodin didn't want to hurt Bruce any more, but the glow made him sigh as he wet the cloth in the pot and started cleaning the wounds.
- You ... as a civilian, you have a lot of sex with people other than us. - Jodin asked while trying to keep his hands steady.
- When we're not together. - Said. - It's frequent? - Said.
Insecurity. - Bruce thought. - That was what was defining and showing in her eyes, even by drugs and neutralizing devices.
Bruce whistled, his fingers tightening on the Green Lantern cloak, and that he was lying down.
- It's not a question. - Said.
- Answer anyway. - Said Jodin.
- It's ... useful. - Bruce said, breathing through the pain.
Useful in that Bruce Wayne always had an excuse ready to drop out, if necessary, and that Bruce could use it sometimes to try to have a public life outside my circle of friends. - Bruce said.
The thought horrified her more than Jodin wanted to think, Bruce having sex because he thought it was necessary, not because he wanted to.
Well, it was no different in Jogun's circle of kings, there were many relationships and sometimes for exchange of benefits, exchange of favors, and all kinds of alliances among other planets.
When she looked up, it had a surprisingly irritated glow.
- Whatever you're thinking, stop. - Bruce said.
Jodin laughed despite himself.
They were a right match, the two.
The wound was starting to bleed again, and Jodin bit his lip.
Bruce started to shake, which was a good sign, but it made it much more difficult to clean the wound.
- I like ... - Bruce started, then cut when Jodin started to press the wound.
- Sex have always been pleasurable. - Said.
- You know, dear.
- And giving pleasure.
"Whenever it's available," he said.
- Good thing you don't go through mating cycles. - Said Jodin.
- Sometimes it's not good, when you don't want to. - Said.
- But ..., at those times there is no option. - Said Jodin.
With all the violence in his after-hours work, Jodin could see the appeal in that.
She resolved something, knowing that Bruce was not just being pressured into his playboy role.
- This is going to hurt. - Warned Jodin as he lifted the cloth and poured it over the alcohol.
Jodin grits his teeth as Bruce screams in pain.
She wanted to close her eyes against the sight of her best friend and lover in pain, but she had to watch, to make sure she wasn't hurting Bruce more than necessary.
She would see this in her nightmares for a long time, however.
She hated to cause Bruce pain.
She cleaned up the alcohol, because the last thing she wanted was to set Bruce on fire, and while trying to cauterize the wound.
- Put pressure on that. - Said Jodin, pushing down the wound while waiting for Bruce to obey.
Standing slowly this time, Jodin fought another wave of nausea and dizziness as he headed for the other supplies.
She was prepared for that, which helped.
Swallowing repeatedly to push the bile back down, she went over to where Bruce had piled the wood, looking for a piece of twig that would be big enough.
She tested a piece, and then held it up for Bruce to see.
Bruce's eyes were heavy-lidded, but he nodded, his mouth taking a dark line.
Jodin was the only one who had to take a minute to breathe and stabilize herself for what she was about to do.
Doing this with the eyes would have been much quicker and less painful for Bruce.
While Bruce wore his cloak, Jodin went back to his pile of blankets to find Bruce.
She was sure it was fireproof, and Bruce didn't stop him, because he used his song to get the batarang out of the fire.
- Wait. - When Bruce said while, when Jodin knelt again, blowing on the reddish metal.
- It is very hot. - Said.
Jodin nodded his appeal, holding the batarang in one hand while he reinforced Bruce's hand with the other.
She watched helplessly as the firelight illuminated every line of pain on Bruce's face in his sparkling dance.
- Now. - Bruce said, and Jodin nodded, placing the wood between Bruce's teeth.
Bruce screamed when Jodin pressed the metal.
Jodin concentrated on keeping his hand steady as she stood up and repeated the movement, wishing she had found a strong branch for herself while she ground her teeth together.
Short bursts.
Do not hold for too long.
Don't listen to Bruce's screams.
There would be enough nightmares of that later.
Go to the next part of the wound once a part has been closed.
Repeat.
Finally, she was running out.
Jodin almost wept with relief.
She put the batarang down, pulling her cloak closer to Bruce's shoulders.
She needed ... She needed bandages.
She took the piece of wood out of Bruce's mouth after the man gave him a wave, and then looked at where she had placed the rest of her supplies.
She dropped the bandages twice before she managed to compose herself, but she did.
The wound was covered.
She dared to look at Bruce's face, only to find that his eyes were closed, wet with tears still trailing down his cheeks.
- No! - Clark said, moving forward.
She tapped Bruce on the cheeks, shaking him as gently as possible.
Blood mixed with tears, and Jodin realized that it was his fingers that stained Bruce's skin.
Bruce, wake up! - No ... Bruce!
- Jodin. - And Bruce said hoarsely, winking at her with what looked like annoyance.
Tears of his own were making it harder for Jodin to see, because of course Bruce would be in a bad mood now.
- You need - there must be ... Blanket. - Said Jodin, for all his eloquence with words that abandoned him.
This time she carried Bruce in her arms, watch out for her right side.
He was lighter without the armor, but Jodin was still happy that it was just a short way to move Bruce out of the reach of the fire long enough to safely wrap the thermal blanket around him.
Body heat. Jodin shrugged out of most of his purple suit, she did not remember when and why were not q hen green uniform, shivering in the cold before slipping under the blanket with his friend.
She wrapped the cloak tighter around them, using Bruce as a pillow again.
Before she could stop herself, she pressed a kiss to Bruce's hair, just above his temple.
Adrenaline.
Fortunately, Bruce didn't notice or care.
- Stay awake. - Jodin begged, pulling Bruce close to his chest.
- Demanding. - Bruce said against her collarbone, snuggling against her breasts, and his voice has none of its usual power.
He looked younger like that, unable to hide the pain, and Jodin tightened his arms around him.
- Stay with me. - Said Jodin.
- You have your father and in the future a kingdom to rule. - He said.
Jodin was impressed by the words, the blow far worse than any psychic attack he had thrown at her.
And that she had already felt.
Bruce continued.
- You will all continue together if I go ...
- Alfred, Veronika ..., The League, Amasteus ... I just ... want to sleep.
"No." said Jodin. - Because Bruce Wayne never gave up.
Through it all, Batman never gave up.
Even in the days when Jodin was nothing but the spoiled daughter of the king ...
All that when she first saw him ...
Then she said ..., a moon full of stars ...
Even though she ... wanted to give in.
While Bruce continued.
He would be the last man standing, no matter what the cost, even his own life.
- We need you. - Said Jodin.
When she was pouring out her love for him.
- I need you. - You can't ... After all this, I won't let you go.
Gotham and the world need you.
Gotham had been a desperate attempt, when Jodin could feel he was failing to pass.
Gotham had a hook on Bruce that no one could reasonably have.
It was in Gotham's name that Bruce struggled to look at Jodin, sighing.
Meanwhile, with Jodin he stubbornly approached him.
- All right. - And he finally said.
Jodin couldn't say whether he wanted to cry or laugh at the admission.
When she was shivering from much more than the cold.
- Thanks. - She said, her voice cracking.
- Just a little more until your core temperature is high, I promise. - Said.
Bruce nodded, and Jodin leaned his head against Bruce's, taking in the faint smell of cologne.
She must have come straight from a compromise in her civilian identity.
Which didn't help when Jodin needed a topic to keep Bruce talking.
No more questions, because he felt he had already asked too much, but something ...
"I ..." Jodin said, took a breath to recover.
- I know it's not the same.
But I know how it feels, to feel like ... Like there's something wrong with you.
Bruce's breathing stopped for a moment, but before Jodin could worry.
And she could feel her friend forcing a deep breath.
Years when we met.
- When I was not a Green Lantern yet. - Said.
- I made friends when I met you. - Said.
- And I not only those who are my father's allies, but who like me. - Said.
- So I met you and the others and ...
They are alone in the crowd, too, now.
Maybe we can be alone together.
Bruce snorted, the sound brimming with exhaustion.
He said nothing more in response. Jodin was supposed to say "alone" probably didn't justify one, but Bruce wasn't the only one who was tired and in pain.
- Are you okay? - Jodin asked, I don't know if he was asking if Bruce was awake or if he was okay with ...
Everything.
"You're asking ..." And Bruce said, struggling with the words, but pushing forward.
- You cauterized my wounds and are keeping me awake to keep me from dying. - Said.
Remembering what Bruce had done earlier in accusing her of being a maudlindin,
Jodin released Bruce for a moment to wag him in the nose.
He has a sleepy growl in response.
- That's not what I meant. - Said Jodin, deciding on the latter.
Jodin let it go.
It was probably enough of a response anyway, but Jodin herself was too tired to analyze Bruce's mental tricks.
She kept talking about her childhood and other things, waiting for Bruce to collect an answer from time to time, until finally Bruce wasn't shaking so much.
- I think you can sleep now. - Said Jodin, hoping she was right.
There was a slight buzz in response, and Jodin thought that Bruce had already decided that for himself.
She added a few more logs to the fire and left the water nearby, then wrapped around Bruce again.
- Good night, Bruce. - She said quietly, letting the stress fall from her own body enough to relax.
The dark knight was the first to wake up, thank goodness, he thought to himself and his tricks left him on the verge of death.
When he raised his hands towards Jodin's forehead and head and as quickly as he could he removed the neutralizing tiara.
Then she tossed it on the other side next to her purse hoping it wouldn't be seen, and that Jodin wouldn't add the two together or link one point to the other.
Then, when he went back to sleep, hoping that the green lantern could gather energy to use his powers to close the wound, and he went back to sleep hugging it.
It was the first thing on her mind when she woke up and found Bruce sweating when Jodin herself was still cold despite the blanket and covers.
Bruce was like a furnace, almost unbearably hot when Jodin touched him.
Jodin realized that he must have moved in sometime when they were sleeping.
Meanwhile, when she sat down and swallowed several times before carefully swallowing some water and seeing that her powers were returning ...
As she remembered that there were three moons, as far as she could remember she could use the ring and its powers as conductors and discharge energy like a plug and force Bruce to heal, but he would have to wait until nightfall.
Since the man who was close to the ceremony and using his powers as a priestess and princess of the powers of Zariel, would use the powers of the moon to help him recover using forces only on the moon, and especially on the full moon, and already that we have three moons, she would have to hope that the next night would be a full moon.
Using the moon's radiation as a conductor, it would make him recover.
At that time, she knew that few knew about this secret, that few knew, beyond the circle of intimate friendships, and she would have to keep him alive until night to put him right under the reflection of the moon.
Knowing that he would heal instantly, making him recover from any injuries, that was why he needed to stay outside.
That's right, she delayed recovery in addition to simply taking it and burning it.
Thankfully, when he goes through the moon's radiation process, he is left without scars, she just didn't know what three moons would do to him.
In the middle of that, Jodin cleaned the wounds, put more water and a cloth on his forehead.
That done, she pulled the blanket away from Bruce to find him deeply flushed.
Jodin put a hand to his forehead and bit out in surprise.
As soon as she could, Jodin checked the wound for infection, but it looked as clean as it could be under the circumstances, and using the ring, she closed the wound.
Jodin looked at the mouth of the cave, and almost hit his head still hitting one of the walls of the cave, clearly listening to his mother's voice.
Meanwhile, when she scolded him and Dad about using his psychic powers to warm up or using something hot to keep from catching a cold.
Bruce had gone without his cloak and was lying face down in the snow for a while, and God knows if this was the only time he fell on the way back from wherever he was.
Bruce's suit was hotter than normal, and unlike her, he didn't have the power to control the temperature, but it hasn't been built for this kind of weather yet.
Bruce was wavering away from the red light, a hoarse cry escaping his throat.
All of this happened, while Jodin was using his ring to carry more blankets and covering Bruce with the blanket while she used her ring to make the water boil.
Did the survival pack come with tea? A brief search came with no, and Jodin was going to add Theraflu to the list of needed supplies there.
That of the aliens did not catch a cold, but that does not mean that all of them could not, Bruce was still human, and he could only use his powers over the moons and only in a few moments, in full moons.
She let the water cool down a little before helping Bruce to drink.
It was a quick process with the ring and its psychic powers, and Jodin debated about getting Bruce to eat something too.
Trying to wake him up still didn't work, and Jodin's bottom lip was starting to bleed a little when she worried.
Shaking off his reverie, Jodin forced himself to eat some of the rations while she used her powers and was given a cloth to wipe the sweat that Bruce had worked on.
Bruce was getting worse as Jodin watched, squirming and moaning through feverish nightmares.
Jodin wanted to slide back under the covers and hold him again, but even weakened by the wound and fever, Bruce was a dangerous man.
Knowing that even with his powers, Jodin was ...
Useless. Vulnerable. Unable to use any of the things that made her one of the greatest prodigies on her planet, and the daughter of the king, and if her father saw her now, he would be ashamed.
And m that time , she wondered how she got a ring of lanterns-Green, it seemed that sometimes she thought that Bruce and his father cheated or paid, which could be part of it ...
Why she has more freedom to act without giving satisfaction to the guardians.
Knowing this, with such low insecurity and self-confidence. - She was too insecure.
This was how she had so little low esteem, she had crises like these of inferiority, and being the only descendant of the royal household, it was her duty to remain strong and to succeed her father.
Show confidence, authority and leadership, in commanding armies and a kingdom ..., as she often saw her father do, who took her in battles and conquests.
It was funny, considering how many times she wished she didn't have those powers when she was younger.
The thing that turned it into one of the greatest desires and lusts and being trained early on to itself to defend itself if one if its security can not m doing this.
Even with that, which he can't do, and forcing her to have confidence, and that it came to an end when he needed it most.
Being involved in intrigues and murder plans from an early age took its toll, behind the fact that she was trained.
To be such , as a future queen, still she always wanted to have her own conquests and adventures.
Taking a deep breath, Jodin forced himself to think about what he could do and not how much his hand hurt when punching the cave wall, and creating craters ...
And just because she couldn't do it the easy way anymore, it doesn't mean she was ...
Weak...
There had to be something she could do.
Bruce was always prepared.
They had enough firewood, and Jodin had recovered his powers, and she melted a little more snow to fill her water.
She helped Bruce to drink more during a calm period, as she considered.
Their supplies proved to be a seizure in cold medicine, but ...
Bruce's utility belt!
Praying that Bruce had left a neutralizer of his race at home, Jodin carefully tried to open the bags.
The belt didn't try to electrocute her as an intruder, so Jodin counted it as a blessing that Bruce had left Veronica's changes to the security system in place.
Unfortunately, there were many things there that Jodin could only guess.
There was even a small can of something labeled Shark Repellent Spray.
With that, which he did, to which Jodin could not say whether he was serious or whether Batman had bumped into the King shark recently.
Then she found a small device that didn't look like anything Bruce had done.
It looked familiar, but Jodin couldn't tell where.
Bruce took it somewhere and forgot? It didn't sound like Bruce.
She ran her fingers over the smooth surface, trying to discover its origin through her headache.
She turned it over and recognized the brand as that of the Clotharian Empire.
How did others work with headaches disturbing their thoughts?
Biting a sigh of frustration, Jodin turned again.
Bruce took it because it must have been important.
Part of it felt woven, and the other metal.
She found a prank on the fabric and tried to lift it.
It looked suspicious like a communicator's microphone.
Jodin almost dropped the device.
Turning it on and giving your position would take you at the end of a long lecture from a very angry Bruce.
Unfortunately, while Jodin was proficient with technology and had significantly better technology on his father King Jogun's planet, than most of humanity or some other nearby planet.
Even though it would take more than your skill level to make sure you were going to the nearest empire and not Clothar.
That was ...
Damn , he shouldn't have missed communication classes with other races ...
It was more Bruce's area of expertise, or his senators'.
Jodin put the device aside, continuing his search.
Finally, she found some Advil, thankful that Bruce's favorite painkiller could help with the fever.
When she crushed the pills for Bruce, she debated trying one for herself.
Bruce would have an attack, she knew, but Jodin didn't think his body was totally different from a human, more similar to a Martian, but quite distant, but it would be to do the same effect or kill for good.
In the end, she decided against it, though more because Bruce may need the medicine later than his own potential poisoning.
Jodin got Bruce to drink at Advil, and then waited to see the effect.
She nibbled on the rations, looking out.
It would be freezing, but they needed to eat something else.
Putting more wood on the fire, she looked at Bruce's suit.
It would be hotter than Jodin's, even with the cut on the side.
It wouldn't be comfortable with all the dried blood, but an inner voice that sounded more like Batman than Jodin wanted to admit snarling at him for practicality.
With a sigh, she fought for the suit, remembering some of the tricks that Alfred had done to make it not so tight.
Bruce was far from being a small man, but his shoulders weren't the easiest thing to do.
Without his powers or the special scissors that Alfred used, he wouldn't be able to make the right cuts to fully fit, but he would have to.
Finally, she pulled on the hood, and looked back at Bruce.
Bruce was still shaking under the blanket, his breathing shallow and hissing in a way that worried Jodin more than the fever.
- I'll be back soon. - And said Jodin softly.
It was harder to leave than he thought it would be, but doing nothing would make things worse.
Bruce was not giving up, so neither did Jodin.
And hile this, Jodin was grateful for their renewed powers and not having to wear jackets, or grateful to live in a planet with a worse winter than this.
Now that she could control her own temperature, and she didn't always need to wear her ring, her own powers were enough for now.
For that reason, that was it while walking through the trees , then she flew, using her tele-kinetic powers where she levitated the trees and cut them symmetrically.
They looked like some kind of pine tree, gray needles reaching the white dwarf and perishing the end of time in a storm that ravaged the world, after all it was quite possible that the world would end tomorrow.
When Jodin, flew around seeing with his vision they found something other than fruit, but few things were found in an eternal winter.
There was very little by means of berries or nuts on the bottom brush, leaving the uninterrupted snow reflecting the miserable sunlight back to her, amid her recognition and harvest, hoping not to be seen and not to have to wait long in one unnecessary struggle.
Finding no other useful plants, Jodin turned back, but a thought struck him.
Bruce had run for the Clotharians, so maybe ...
Bruce was going to hate him for that.
Returning to where he found Bruce, Jodin did not look at the blackened snow that held the dried blood.
The path that Bruce had stumbled on was still clear, which meant that Bruce had been badly hurt to hide his tracks.
Jodin breathed, a breath of air crystallizing before her.
If she hadn't woken up and found Bruce ...
Shaking his head, Jodin followed the trail, shivering not from the cold, but from the pure line of dark stains that stained the surface of the snow.
It was perhaps a twenty-minute walk between flights and levitations as the crisp air burned in her lungs, but finally she came across a burnt-out mess from a clearing.
There were no bodies, but she knew that the signs of a fight were spectacular enough to know that it had been spectacular.
There must have been at least thirty armed mercenaries here, and Jodin started to compose a very angry lecture in his head about Batman's hypocrisy about recklessness.
There was no ship to be found, but a lot of equipment was hastily abandoned.
Bruce must have deployed scare tactics to scare them, and it seemed effective if he wasn't counted on being stabbed and almost frozen to death.
Bruce probably wouldn't, but Jodin did.
The equipment was probably for tracking.
Which was not very useful for a sick teammate.
There was one that was blinking, and Jodin looked at him carefully.
It is not a distress signal, but it was transmitting something.
Not to Clothar, so J odin might say, so she assumed it was the work Bruce and left him.
The snow started softly when Jodin looked around, and she knew it would be a bad idea to stay much longer.
The ship had been here long enough to start settling in, probably waiting until they were sure that Jodin's powers were gone.
There was an animal pen that looked destroyed, whatever it was a long time ago.
She was about to turn and go back when a small movement to the right caught her eye.
There was a strange-looking beast, small but fat.
It had yellow scales and small feathers on its tail, and a long, thick neck that was low to the ground.
Jodin recognized him as an ordinary domesticated cattle that she had been researching before the mission.
So there were not just giant lizards and kidnappers.
When next, Jodin was checking whether she and her green lantern ally, and her father's spy, Johnanth could eat him or whether they would have to stock up on provisions.
The computer system in his kingdom labeled the animal as safe for humans and Kryptonians to eat and their alien races in general.
He also said that the beast was a little less intelligent than a dog.
jodin approached slowly, letting him smell it before approaching.
It did not startle, which proved that it was used for humanoid forms.
He weighed his options.
The batarangs were sharp, but small, and she didn't have the strength to cut a thick neck cleanly at the moment, not without a suitable tool like an ax.
Although reptile, it didn't look so different from a dog if she was remembering the right notes.
With a sigh, Jodin approached and with a twinkling movement of her wrist with a wave of psychic lightning, she caught the lizard by its hind legs ...
The alien woman remembered the field training when she was thrown into one of the soldiers' training camps and that put her childhood survival of just over twelve years.
The training of her people, mainly due to the fact that she was one of the people's warriors, was practically torture, if we take into account how they were in other plants .
To which she was forced to survive and resist training and look for her own food and to kill her own food.
The Army began training early, after all, she came from a warrior race, that it included what Bruce called alien rabbits only the size of elk from the earth, and came from small villages.
Periodically, an average of every six months since she started walking, Jodin remembered that she was sent to train, when she was sent to beast fighters that invaded the small towns of her father's kingdom, and she got what she learned in good use.
She pulled down on her neck, then quickly twisted upward, hearing the little crack that told her that she had done it right.
Fortunately, it was quick, and she started flying back to the cave to see if Bruce was already up.
Bruce did not wake up, although he was not sleeping soundly.
Jodin hung the lizard outside to release the blood, and started to get more water, and started to unravel it.
She had enough to boil the meat, so she came back and used her telekinetic powers like a knife to cut the skin and prepare the meal.
It was strangely comforting, finally doing something useful and not just sitting helplessly watching Bruce struggle to breathe.
She cleaned the meat to the best of her ability, then tossed it into the pan.
It was almost over when Bruce started coughing violently.
- Calm. - Said Jodin, remembering how Bruce had stabilized him not long before.
She helped Bruce to sit up, which seemed to have drained the little energy Bruce had while resting his head against Jodin's shoulder.
Her pale skin stood out against the green uniform Jodin still wore, and while he was breathing heavily.
When he started coughing again, Jodin held him tight, murmuring a few words with no sense of encouragement.
Finally, the cough was over.
- Bruce. - Said Jodin, rubbing his friend's back.
- How are you feeling? - He asked.
The glow she received was faint, but more vocal than any word Bruce could have said.
Jodin smiled in return, flooding him even though they were still far away from the forest.
She hugged Bruce tighter, needing to reassure herself that Bruce was still warm and struggling.
Bruce mumbled something about overly concerned octopuses, but Jodin ignored it.
- You should try to eat something. - Said Jodin, instead taking a bowl from his supplies and pouring some of the soup inside.
And spoons must have been considered unnecessary by Bruce, because there were none, but it wouldn't be that hard to drink.
She had to keep her own hands from shaking as she helped Bruce to eat.
Batman was the only normal human, if we do not take into account the times of the full moon ..., or in the future with the ceremony .
And on the team, but he was so good that it was easy to forget.
See your lover and friend, so weakened by the disease.
That was something that Jodin could not defeat even if he had his powers or not ...
That was what made the helpless fear hold your heart.
Bruce grimaced as he tried the soup, walking away.
- What is it? He asked, coughing again.
- A Clotharian clover. - Said Jodin, thinking it was better than saying a lizard.
Narrowing his eyes, Bruce tried to spy on the soup.
Jodin helped to hold lower.
- Lizard? Bruce asked.
- Yes. - He said.
Bruce sighed, which was interrupted by a cough and followed by a hiss
- Bruce. - Said Jodin,
- Let me eat. - Bruce ordered.
Bruce didn't try to speak for the rest of the meal, probably preferring to get it over with.
He was released again when he was finished, and Jodin gave him another Advil to help with the fever, which he gratefully drank.
Jodin tried the soup himself, then almost spit it out as it hit his taste buds.
- You're right. That's disgusting. - She said, forcing the meal down.
- Princesses are not good cooks. - Bruce said.
- Playboys don't either. - She said defending herself.
The look that Bruce gave him essentially translated into
- I'm always right. - And that Jodin let go for now, considering that the man was sick.
Putting the soup aside for later, Jodin held the alien communicator device.
- Is that safe to use? - He asked.
- There was no time. - Bruce said, coughing.
This time, he seemed more frustrated with himself than anything.
There was movement under the blanket, until Bruce forced his hand out.
- I ... - Tried.
He was picking up the device, Jodin realized.
- It can wait. - Said Jodin, pulling the blanket up again.
- Go back to sleep. - Said.
Bruce seemed ready to argue, but his eyes were already closing.
- I need ... - It said.
- Sleep. - Jodin repeated, remembering how big Bruce's fingers felt in his hair.
He decided to see if it worked both ways, fingers sliding through the sweaty hair on Bruce's forehead.
Bruce fell asleep again in a few minutes.
Bruce was getting worse.
Jodin could only wrap himself more around Bruce's body, leaving his thoughts free to run in circles around what little he could do.
There was no more Advil, and Bruce's breathing got worse every time the fever came back.
He hadn't woken up yesterday, and Jodin wasn't sure how much more Bruce could take.
There was no full moon last night and the moons did not appear.
She looked at the communication device.
It hadn't been rewired, and the Clotharians could probably hear every word once she called.
Sitting, Jodin looked at the man in her arms.
The fever brought a burn on his face that stood out even wrapped in the purple of his people that had the symbol of his family.
Each breath sounded like it was Heracles' work.
She was so close to losing this.
Could she go back to how she was before?
To live without this irritating man who managed to enter Jodin's life and become his best friend and lover despite everything?
No. Jodin couldn't even think of not having Bruce there.
Wiping away the tears that overwhelmed him, she hugged Bruce again.
- I am really sorry. - And she whispered, smoothing Bruce's hair before replacing the hood and resetting the traps embedded in it.
Even if it means being captured, I can't lose you.
It is the only chance you have to survive this.
Jodin picked up the communication device, considering his options.
There was no guarantee that the Clotharians would help Bruce, unless Bruce was the only hostage they could take.
Jodin quickly shrugged on the Batsuit and put on the hood.
There was no way a direct exchange would work, but Jodin didn't need to be around Bruce when they were found.
At that time, it was when she was caught ...
Again, he was passing by, when he was going to spend the next night, when by a miracle of despair , then, towards the sky, there was a light above his head , a light in the middle of the night .
That was the image, so intense that it scared her to think until they were discovered, and when she saw ...
It was the three moons above their heads ...
It was when Jodin remembered the powers of recovery that came from the triple moon of his people in times of war that they chose in the name of the forge of the gods and the ancient gods that ate the dying worlds.
Thinking about the possibility, if Bruce were to turn less badly, they would be going off the planet ...
Then Jodin took a sheet and put it on her shoulder, and she went towards Bruce and undressed him in the next moment, when she took him in her lap and headed towards the snow, she was having a blizzard, but if everything went well , he would recover.
Jodin made the next move, when she put it on and placed the sheet under it, after which she used her telekinetic powers and left them right under the reflection of the three moons.
Jodin recited the old words, the prayers, then, in which she said the prayers and made the song of her people of the forced bonding ceremony , she recited and prayed and invoked the power of the triple force.
At that time, still unconscious, Bruce gasped, and then he started to breathe faster, panting the wind whipping more and more intensely, when she thought it was a bad idea, he gasped.
For an instant, he lost his breath, and stopped breathing, when Jodin, despaired, but that moment passed as it came, then he pulled the light energy of the moons in one air, appearing a huge wave of energy moving away with intense wave driving away with everything and he writhed in the blue light of the moon.
