She had gotten away, but barely. She really needed to get help, but Steph could hardly move, let alone find help. Luckily, when she ran away from Black Mask, she found a Robin's Nest. Unfortunately, she only had enough energy to break in and walk in and lean against the door jamb for a bit. She didn't even remember falling and hitting the ground before she blacked out.

When Steph woke up, she knew she was in a hospital, or more likely, Leslie's Clinic. There was noise everywhere, so she was sure no one would be around to her groan in pain. “Steph...?” a voice said softly beside her bed.

Steph turned her head and saw Tim sitting there, in his Robin suit, concern and worry etched into his tired features. “Tim...” she murmured, giving me a weak smile. “You found me...”

Tim gave her his own weak smile, still worried as he brushing her matted hair from her forehead. “My communicator told me someone had broken into my Robin's Nest. You must have been standing there for a while. You fell into my arms once I got there...” he said quietly, his hand still in her hair.

“That's why I didn't hit the floor...” she muttered as she felt sleepy. “You caught me... Thanks, Tim.”

“You're welcome, Steph,” he answered as he pet her hair, and it lulled her into sleep, but she felt Tim kiss her forehead before she slipped completely into a calm slumber.
