B's Note: Second installment in the Bad Sun Au drabbles.

[R&R/Constructive Criticism is welcome but not required]

Lucci had to leave her alone for a few nights, while it was to keep her safe he wouldn't openly admit that he missed her. He had to make sure they weren't being followed so he surveyed the neighboring buildings. Lucci heard whispers of the underground resistance and society, but he kept it from Robin. He knew she didn't like being around people who talked about her powers, but she had a good reason. The government has gone as far as to put a price on her head, so he had to be more alert than he already was when they were together.

He was gone three days and three nights, and asked her to stay inside. It was safer for her if she stayed in the apartment. A small protest, but Lucci stressed that he wouldn't be far and she only needed to call his name if she needed him. Of course she sulked, they'd only been back together for about four months and relocated more than ten times. He liked staying three steps ahead of the government, ahead of Spandam. That bastard wanted her more than anyone in the world, and Lucci knew that if that lavender haired man got her that she'd be tortured.

While he staked out, Robin tried to busy herself from boredom. There wasn't much to do that didn't involve pack and repack, which she had done five times now. She fell back onto the mattress, three days was too much, and then it hit her. He was gone more than the set time, this realization made her mildly panic.

The what-if's set in as she paced the apartment, trying to recall when he left. Three weeks, too long in her opinion, and she promised to not go look for him. Robin would keep her word, but her nerves were frazzled as she moved to sit by the window. She had on one of his button-ups over her undergarments, the sound of the door being unlocked made her tense up. The woman didn't realize she had been holding her breath until a voice broke through the silence.

"Robin."

She slowly came out of hiding to see him, tired and mildly injured he leaned on the wall. Panic must have been clear on her face, because he pulled her to his chest. "Sorry I was gone so long." She wrapped her arms carefully around his chest, moving to his side after the hug. Moving him towards the bathroom so she could check over the injures, Lucci leaned more toward the bed. "Lucci, no. At least let me check the injuries." Chuckling, he allowed himself to be half-carried half-dragged to the bathroom and sat on the counter. Watching her, after she tugged his shirt off, "You're pale." He commented, never taking his eyes off her as she cleaned one of the bigger cuts. "I was worried about you." It was all she said on the matter and carried on tending to her leopard friend.

Once she'd finished patching him up, he picked her up and carried her back to the mattress. Setting her down gently, she waited until he laid beside her to curl up against his side. An arm draped over her waist protectively.

"Welcome home, Lucci."
