Lucy/Malik Treatment After Desaad

Malik07/12/2018
winces and hisses like a goddamn baby.  "Nngh... brave don't mean you ain' scared.  Just means you don't freeze or give up.  It ain' brave to jump in front of a gun when you bulletproof, you know?"  Malik will also obediently lift his arms when asked.
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
"The good news is, I don't think you have anything serious, but you have bruises on top of your bruises. You should take it easy for a few days." She feels along his ribs.
Malik07/12/2018
Malik groans in dulled pain.  Yep, it's boymuscle.  "Yeah.  I don't think I could even get in a set like this."  A moment, taking a deep breath, before looking up to Lucy.  "How're you feeling?  After... that?  No side effects?"
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
Lucy holds up her hand. It's still shaking. "I-I'm all jittery. Like when you have too many cups of coffee. And all my joints hurt."
Malik07/12/2018
Malik winces a bit.  Yikes.  "You think you're gonna be okay?  Was like, some kinda steroid..."
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
Lucy hesitates for a few moments too long. "I'll be fine."
Malik07/12/2018
"..."  Malik doesn't believe Lucy, but he lets it go, for now.  Instead, he groans, slowly moving to stand.  "You drink tea?"  He asks, moving over to one of the cupboards in the kitchen.
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
"Oh, um..." she blushes. "You don't have to go to that kind of trouble for me. You're hurt."
Malik07/12/2018
"'s nothin'."  Malik says, moving to open up one of the cupboards, and shuffle into the back.  A secret stash?  Out comes... a little brown pouch.  Malik shifts around in it for a bit before taking out what looks like a dried flower, then puts it back away.  "Dad said his moms used to make Albizia flower tea for qi stagnation."  He says, wincing as he grabs a mug.
Water from sink!  Mug in microwave!
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
"Are you going to keep doing dangerous things?" Lucy looks down at her feet. They're sort of blurry because she lost her glasses in the melee. "You could get really hurt. What if someone had gotten shot?"
Malik07/12/2018
"... yeah, probably."  Malik says, watching the mug rotate in the microwave.  "I was thinking... how come Robin's doin' all this shit by himself?" A look around, to make sure they're the only ones up, before he continues.  "Batman's busy.  Really busy.  And now he's got the Justice League, which makes him even more busy."

Ding!  Microwave's done.  Malik takes the mug out and puts the flower in to steep.  "And if he ain' here, shit'll get worse again.  I remember nights when it was nonstop sirens, you know."(edited)
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
"I don't really know what it was like," Lucy admits. "I do know that if I don't want you to get hurt again."
"I just..." She realizes something. "...wait isn't Damian back yet?"
Malik07/12/2018
"Huh?"  A blink.  "He probably got picked up.  He's got his own butler, too."  Malik is too dazed to assume that Lucy STILL doesn't know who Robin is.
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
"We should check on him. I knew I should have made sure he was with us... He's only a little kid."
Malik07/12/2018
Malik nods.  "You got your phone?"  Wait, DOES Malik have his number?  Well, no matter, he has Willow's, and Willow probably does.
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
Lucy feels her pockets then realizes where she had to put it in this outfit, pulling her phone out of her bra.
Malik07/12/2018
Malik tastefully averts his eyes.
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
She hands Malik her phone. It's still warm!
Malik07/12/2018
takes the phone, awkwardly texting either Damian, or, lacking his number, Willow.  It's got her perfume smell too...
The jist is 'u ok?'
Dead Princess07/12/2018
There's a beep from the shadows.
Damian steps out, "I'm fine."
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
Lucy jumps a little
"Damian! You're okay!"
"I was so worried!"
Dead Princess07/12/2018
"You did terribly tonight." He says to both of them, though mostly to Malik.
Malik07/12/2018
Malik looks over, nodding.  "Yeah... I know.  You want some tea?"  Lucy's should be done, and it's offered to her.
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
Lucy takes the cup. Holding onto something helps with the shakes.
Dead Princess07/12/2018
"You shouldn't be treating his wounds in the common room either. What if somebody sees you?" Damian tts and crosses his arms, "Starting tomorrow I'm training all of you myself."
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
"Damian, you need to stop sneaking out. Even Malik got hurt tonight. If Robin and that nice Bane man hadn't been there, we would have been in a lot of trouble."
Dead Princess07/12/2018
"Bane is NOT a nice man and I'M Robin, you imbecile!"
Malik07/12/2018
"... aight."  Malik agrees, despite being told he should take it easy.  "An-"  At Lucy's lecturing, he gives her that 'what' look.
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
Lucy gasps
"You're Robin?!"
Dead Princess07/12/2018
Damian moves towards Lucy and begins to check her pulse, then he shines a light in her eyes, "How do you feel? Do you have the shakes? Are you warm? How are your muscles?"
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
"I-I've been sore and sort of shaky..." She's definitely got the shakes.
Dead Princess07/12/2018
"Ngh.... Go see Doctor Quinzel in the morning. She'll be able to help you out."
Malik07/12/2018
"Is that the nurse?"
Dead Princess07/12/2018
"School Psychologist."
Malik07/12/2018
"That's a thing?  Damn."  Malik starts making Damian microwave tea too.
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
"I-I don't want to bother anyone." She sips at the tea.
Dead Princess07/12/2018
"You're bothering me by not doing it."
"Don't give me extra work, I'm already busy."
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
"I'm sure I'll be fine once I sleep off these nerves."
Malik07/12/2018
Damien's getting chamomile.
Dead Princess07/12/2018
Damian looks angry now.
"You talk to her, Malik. I'm going back out."
Malik07/12/2018
"Ey, yo, where we meetin' for training?"  Chamomile microwaved, Malik walks over and just kinda puts it in Damian's hands.
Dead Princess07/12/2018
Damian hands it to Lucy, "Tomorrow after classes finish. We might as well meet in Willow's club room since nobody goes there."
Malik07/12/2018
"Aight.  You coming back to the room tonight?"  Malik asks.
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
Lucy is trying to hold two mugs now!
Dead Princess07/12/2018
"Unlikely. I have to investigate the return of Blackmask."
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
"Be careful, please?"
Dead Princess07/12/2018
"Tt." He starts to walk back into the shadows but sighs and looks back, "Thanks."
Malik07/12/2018
"Night, man."  A wave.  Perhaps if Damian weren't uh... Damian, he'd be more in aw of the man known as Robin, but it's been a few days and all.

A look back to Lucy, taking the mug from her.
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
"I can't believe he's really Robin!" She whispers
Malik07/12/2018
"I guess we ain' gotta worry about helpin' him out."  A little playful grin, before he takes a sip, eyeing Lucy up and down.  "You really should go see the doc."
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
She smiles weakly. "Maybe in the morning if it doesn't get better. I, um... I don't want to get in trouble for anything."
Malik07/12/2018
"Just give her the coffee story."  Malik reaches out, patting Lucy's... whatever doesn't seem inappropriate to touch that his hand can reach.  "You ain' botherin' nobody by gettin' care."
"Unless you think I'm bein' a bother by askin' you to patch me up?"
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
She blushes. "O-of course not! I'm happy to help!" She looks around. "Actually, I was thinking about becoming a doctor. Mom says I'm not smart enough, so I've been studying as much as I can to make up for it."
Malik07/12/2018
Malik smiles a bit.  "No kiddin'?  I think you can do it, especially if you keep studying hard."  Malik looks at himself, before taking a sip.  "I guess if thinks keep going like this, I'll be your practice dummy."
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
Lucy giggles a little. "Hopefully it won't come to that. Maybe he has some kind of secret that'll keep you from getting hurt..." She puts her palm on Malik's chest.
Malik07/12/2018
.... Tha-thump.  Tha-thump.  Tha-thump.  Tha-thump.  Okay, NOW Malik's blushing, looking away a bit.  "Just... uh, I just gotta get better.  It's... uh, it's all training."
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
She smiles more genuinely. "You've got a strong heart."
Malik07/12/2018
Malik briefly looks to Lucy's heart or whatever's in the way, then back to her eyes.  "Yeah - you do, too."  He returns.  Double meanings for everyone.
Lisa Snart07/12/2018
"I'll do the training with Damian too, so I won't be a burden if there's trouble again. As long as I can take care of myself other people won't have to worry about me."
Malik07/12/2018
"Sounds good."  Malik says, giving her a grin.  "I'm guessin' it ain't gonna be easy, but let's do our best, yeah?"
