Case # 12: Video

[George is in his room. He looks slightly dazed and has a damp washcloth pressed against his head. There is a bruise blooming underneath it.]

I'm afraid I was...indisposed.

[George shuffles his feet and there is the sound of broken glass crunching.]

But I've managed to find my trousers now. Has something happened?
batmanschmatman: (Headache.)

[Dick looks like he just rolled out of bed and run a hand through his hair as he answers, wish musses it up more than it already was.] If I'm reading all this backlog stuff correctly, I think Sveta cursed us by accident and Cooper killed her before the ship could go down. Or something. I've been mostly asleep for the last forty eight plus hours, so I'm not exactly sure what happened.
batmanschmatman: (Unsure.)

[Dick doesn't even know how to respond to all this, so he's just sending over Sveta's original post, Howie's response, her second post, Cooper's, and Kay's.]

I'm sorry. I should have - I thought it was just a flood.

I told the Sergeant we wouldn't-...that I wouldn't let them-...

I've failed him.

No, you didn't. You didn't ask for something to knock you unconscious. If you could have been there, you would have. [Of course, he should be listening to his own pearls of wisdom, but Dick is an idiot when it comes to guilt.]

How's your head?
batmanschmatman: (Downtrodden.)

Believe me, I understand how you feel.

You should probably get it checked out.

Do you?

A young lady has offered.

Howie's my friend too. And if I'd been there, Barron wouldn't have gotten near him or Sveta.
batmanschmatman: (Studious.)

I don't know. I don't think so. I'm heading down later to see if I can help.

He's in the infirmary, then?
batmanschmatman: (Rocking these aviators.)

He should be, and he definitely doesn't seem like the kind of guy who'd break out of the infirmary before Martha said he could leave.

Under normal circumstances I would agree with you, but I can only hope you're right this time.
batmanschmatman: (& I've been doing just fine.)

[personal profile] batmanschmatman 2011-07-11 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Martha will keep an eye out for him. I know it's a lot to ask right now, but thinking positively's really the only thing we can do right now.

You are, right, of course. I will try.
batmanschmatman: (Comfort.)

It's Dick. You don't have to call me sir.

No problem. And I'll be fine, thanks.
