John drove down to the cave and got suited up. The new one Fox had created for him was perfect. It was a snug fit but he was still able to move around.

The reason why John was suiting up tonight was because he'd heard a rumor about something going down in the city, so he thought he'd check it out. It could be nothing, but he wanted to be on the safe side. It was something about dreamshare. John couldn't find much other than it was a military training program but got shut down after losing its funding.

"Like I said, I'm worried about you." He remembered that she had a gun, but still.

[inyourdreams]

"I know," she said. "But there's no reason to. I'm not even going to leave the room. How much trouble could I possibly get in to?"

[gcpd]

A lot, he wanted to say. "Okay I won't pester you anymore."

[inyourdreams]

"Thank you," she said and leaned in to kiss him again. "Your concern is cute though. It's nice to know someone cares."

[gcpd]

"Of course I care. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't?"

[inyourdreams]

She smiled before putting her head back on his shoulder.

[gcpd]

He wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

[inyourdreams]

She nestled into his side a little more.

"Did you talk to them last night about maybe working less hours at the warehouse?" she asked.

[gcpd]

He nodded. "I get a couple more nights off."

[inyourdreams]

"Really? That's great," she said with a smile before pressing a kiss to the corner of his mouth.

[gcpd]

He smiled a little. "More time with you."

[inyourdreams]

"Sounds good to me," she said.

[gcpd]

A moment later there was a knock and John went to get it. He came back with two bowls of oatmeal and fruit.

[inyourdreams]

She eyed the other bowl.

"I thought I told you I wasn't hungry," she said.

[gcpd]

"Who said it was for you?" He sat down before digging in.

[inyourdreams]

She laughed and watched him eat before looking back at the TV.

[gcpd]

He smiled and ate quickly. When he finished, he set the bowls down int he hallway before going to grab his jacket from the bedroom. "I'll see you later, okay?"

[inyourdreams]

"Okay," she said. "Good luck today."

[gcpd]

He leaned down and kissed her, lingering for a moment before walking out.

[inyourdreams]

She watched him go before reaching for the clicker and settling in for a boring day of daytime TV.

[gcpd]

With the lack of sleep and the adrenaline rush last night, John could barely keep his eyes open. The job was easy enough. He sat behind a desk and checked people in.

[inyourdreams]

She got a text on her alternate cell phone from the Forger. The team made bail and were on the run. The Extractor was able to get the information to their employer so everyone was square. No one gave her up to the police, saying that the women who drugged the Mark was a working girl they paid to do it. No one else but the Batman knew differently.

She breathed a sigh of relief that she wouldn't have to skip town. Especially since she could barely walk.

[gcpd]

At around seven in the evening, he finally made it back to the hotel suite.

[inyourdreams]

By then, Ari was bored and restless. She'd sat herself at the desk with her ankle propped up, working on the library plans until she couldn't see. She'd hopped around the suite, tidying everything up. She'd had the hotel bring her some crutches and ordered Chinese food. By 7pm she was back on the couch and had resorted to organizing her iTunes.

When she heard the door open, she perked up.

"Hey baby," she said with a smile when he came in, looking tired.

[gcpd]

"Hey." He smiled tiredly. He knew hed have to get some sleep at the cave. John went over and kissed her. "I'm gonna sleep."
