ENTER from Gotham.
The shadow soon reached the enterance of a much larger complex, and quickly made it's way up the side of the wall as high as it could go. Roxy had no idea where she was, and after...well, she was not taking any chances this time. Once high enough, she slid halfway out of the shadow and braced herself against the wall a bit to look down at her surroundings. Definately took her someplace big. She soon found the man she had followed collapsed on the ground. She frowned a bit as she looked down at him. Lost too much blood. Had to have. After another second, she sighed and slipped back into her shadow. A moment later, she rose out of one that was on the ground beside the man. The shadow then moved out and around the man, letting him sink into it. Both she and the shadow moved to a large table not far away, and the shadow moved to the top of it and spread out to cover the entire thing. Bat man soon rose out of it, now lying on his back.

Batman, who was by that point semi-conscious at best, had NO idea what was going on, but he wasn't really in a position to do anything about that. Everything had gone very dark... and now he was... on the table...? What? Wow, he was really loosing it.

Taking note that there was seemingly no reaction from the man, Roxanne assumed that he was out and moved to address his arm. She wasn't a doctor or anything, but she could stitch him up and fix anything that was broken. Sapphire would have been able to do more for him, since she used her ability to heal others a lot more than she did. She had much more practice with her venom strands. She moved the ripped part of his costume back a bit so that she'd have better access to the wound, and placed her fingers over it. Very thin black 'thread' moved from her fingertips and into him, weaving about and closing anything that was open. She wasn't sure she could do anything about the blood. Someone else would have to...well wait...there was something she could do, but she honestly prefered not to. At all.

Batman tensed a bit as she closed his wound... Wait... She? Trying to focus his blurring eyes, he looked at her face. "You...You're that... Spider...girl... Joker... had..." She looked better. Good. Of course, it was kind of impossible not to look better than she'd looked the last time he'd seen her.

Surprised, Shadow suddenly stopped (done anyway) and blinked before looking at him. "How did you know..." she started, then remembered what Warp had said when she was still half out of it before. He hadn't saved her...someone else had. And the man did look a bit familair, like she had only glanced...oh.

"I... nn..." Without finishing whatever he'd been trying to say, his head fell limply to one side. Apparently he'd finally passed out.

Roxanne paused and stared at him a moment. Was he the one that saved her? If that was the case, then she definately owed him. She looked at him another second, then sighed and moved away. So, was he alright then? Could she leave to find her other? Or should she stay with him to make sure he's alright? Was there more that should be done? Ergh...she wasn't use to doctoring this kind of stuff. She wasn't sure what to do with blood loss....but she knew someone who specialized in it.
I imagine your watching, so is there anything I can do? Is there anything you can do?
I'm not sure there's anything you can do. But I can replenish his supply enough that you don't have to worry about it being lethal.
I really don't feel comfortable with you comming here.
Then I'll just use you.
I like that even less.
Then what do you want to do?
Shadow glanced back at the man a moment. Then, sighing, walked back to him.
No funny business.
I'm trying to be good, remember? He's hardly worth risking my new powers on.
A moment or two later, a Reaper rose out of Roxanne's Shadow. He passed her and moved towards the Bat, placing a hand on his now closed shoulder. Roxanne kept her eyes on him intently.
"Relax. He has no powers, and I have no reason to try anything." he said as he began one of his lesser used abilities. Somewhat of a transfusion ability that created the man's blood to double. Once there was enough that death was hardly a worry, he moved his hand away and stepped back from the boy. "Satisfied?"
Shadow looked at him a moment, then back to Reaper. "If you really helped, then yes. You'd better leave now though."
"I have no reason to stick around here either." he replied, then grinned a bit. "And you're right about him being the one that saved you. I hardly think this would count as paying him back. At least compared to what you were about to endure." he said, then slid into a shadow and vanished.
Shadow grimmaced and looked away. Right. And she was going to pay Joker back for everything.

Right about then, a door opened, and a back-lit figure started down the stairs into the cave. Quite suddenly, it stopped dead, obviously taking in the scene. After another moment, the voice of an older British man murmured, "Oh, my."

// ack, I forgot to check this. //
Startled, Shadow suddenly spun to face whoever else was in the room. She paused and stared up at the figure, a bit unsure of what to do. Technically she was the intruder here...so did she leave, or did she stay to explain things?

The man stared for another moment, then stepped away from the light of the doorway, revealing an older, painfully neat gentleman with a mustache and a butler's uniform. His eyes flicked to Roxie's face with a mildly surprised, questioning expression, and then settled on the still form of Batman. They widened. "Goodness!" Immediately, he rushed over to the boy's side and pulled up the edge of his mask in order to better get a feel for his pulse. After a moment, he relaxed and turned to Roxie. "I assume that thanks are in order, so I will impart them on the behalf of the... indisposed." He paused. "Might I ask your name, Madam?"

Roxanne stood there and blinked a moment. A butler? They had a butler for this place? She jumped a bit when he came rushing over, and stepped back a bit. She blinked again after he spoke. "I'm...um, Shadow Spider." she replied, then glanced down at Batman. "You, you can call me Roxanne though."

The butler bowed slightly. "Delighted to make your acquaintance, Miss Roxanne, and again, thank you for your assistance." His calm eyes flicked over her somewhat battered features. "Is there anything I can help you with in return?" The poor thing looked...

Roxanne put a hand over one of her cheeks, the one that was still probably bruised from Joker's gun, and looked away. "Oh, no. I'm alright." she replied, then looked down at her costume. The cuts would be easy to stitch up. Although...the acid burn...heck, she might as well say she needed a new costume. "Actually..." she said quietly, almost embarassed to ask for something. "You wouldn't happen to have any spare black costumes, would you? I really just need a new top. The lettings I can stitch up."

The man smiled. "My dear, I believe I can safely say that there is nowhere in the entire WORLD better suited for providing you with a black top," he replied lightly. Moving over to the training area, he pulled out one of Cassandra's spare tops, folded it up (mostly out of habit), and brought it back over to her.

Roxanne smiled and took the top. "Thank you." she replied, then kind of hugged it against her as she glanced back at Terry. "Will he be alright now?"
