AN: Yeah, I stumbled upon this story and decided to update for no real reason (even though at the moment I'd rather write a BB crossover with The Ring...). ^^ Just kidding. Not about The Ring, but about no reason for updating. I went through the old reveiws and felt bad that people who wanted me to continue weren't getting their ever so simple request.
Chapter 10
"Terry, when someone knows something like you're being Batman, you don't let them out of your sight."
"Again, tell me how did Tim Drake become Robin?"
Terry smirked in satisfaction when his employer's voice didn't come over the intercom. Night had fallen over Gotham, leaving Terry to search with more freedom as Batman. He crept through the delapidated area, not wanting to alarm the more than slightly edgy residents of the neighborhood, if it could even be called that.
In spite of any concern he may have felt for Linda who had been gone for hours now, he was more inclined to beat the daylights out of her for pulling such a dumb stunt, especially considering how Max had felt about "losing" her.
'Besides,' he reminded himself, ' if she's lived here her whole life why worry?'
As fate would often have it, just as he thought this to himself flashing red and blue lights came into veiw.
"Geez, she looks pretty bad... What you think Morgan?"
"That she's lucky she was only stabbed once, the other guy got seventeen."
Two paramedics worked quietly, removing the girl, who let out occasional rasping breaths. They'd already removed the corpse since police had already documented and photographed everything they could.
The girl let out another painful breath, this time it seemed mingled with a cry of pain, sending shivers down the two paramedics spines.
"Gonna have to hurry with this one..." Morgan murmerd.
"Shit... Bruce, I've found her."
"Terry, whats wrong?" Bruce demanded, picking up on the strained tone in the younger man's voice.
Terry waited for a moment before responding, waiting to be positive that something had happened to Linda. "Paramedics are here, they're taking her to an ambulance..."
Bruce pursed his lips. "How does she look?"
Terry sighed and responded, "she looks dead or near to it, but she's not in a body bag. At least thats some good news."
Bruce didn't bother to tell Terry that if that were the case they woudn't have to worry about their secret, knowing how revolting the thought was to both of them.
"Should I continue my rounds or-"
"Continue. You told the hospital she works for me, I'll be contacted."
Terry returned to the Batmobile, watching the city with hawk eyes.
The lights stung.
Why would anyone create a light so bright and then sitck it in someone's face?
Linda squinted her eyes as she glanced about, her mind to foggy to understand what was happening. According to the clock on the wall it was nearly noon...
No, how could that be right? It was barely sunset when she got home...
Before the events of the previous day could come back to her she slipped back to sleep.
Terry nervously watched the clock, as did Max, neither of them listening to the drawl of their health teacher. Even with being annoyed with Linda they wanted to know that she was alright. After all, whats the fun in telling someone they're a pain in the ass when they happen to be hospitalized?

Yeah, that was short, but I am feeling sick...
