Partners [[Blake and Amelia]]

[Amelia Raven Blake]

"If you want to drop me off at Banner's then you'll have to go to Manhattan." she said, "And I'm not going to the hospital." Amelia looked at him, batting her eyelashes at him, trying to get him to allow her to go without seeing a doctor. She really didn't like hospitals.

[John Blake]

He smiled at her, opening her door and sliding her in, pulling her seat belt over her and buckled it in. He slipped out and shut her door, walking around back to his own. He had felt the urge to kiss her for some reason.
He slipped into the car. "Manhattan it is then." He smiled at her, turning the key in the ignition.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia gently rolled her eyes as he slid into the driver's seat. She glanced at him and arched a brow. "What if I said I didn't want to go back to Manhattan just yet?" She asked with a small smile.

[John Blake]

He looked at her, a smirk on his lips. "What did you have in mind?" He smirked at her as he pulled away from the crime scene, which they had solved rather quickly. Gordon had picked a good team, a very good team. He smiled at the thought.

"Shouldn't we go and report to Gordon before we do anything?" Amelia rolled her eyes, "I'm staying with Bruce Wayne, I'm pretty sure you know where his house is. It's probably the biggest in Gotham." She would have liked to stay in a hotel but her cousin had told her to come and stay with him, that he had plenty of spare rooms -which she didn't doubt- but she just would have liked a nice hotel room instead of Wayne Manor..she always thought she'd get lost in it.

[John Blake]

He smiled. "Nope, Tony is bringing back the crook, he reports." Blake smiled at her, he knew exactly where Wayne Manor was. He actually lived there quite often, but he couldn't while Amelia was there. He started to drive for his old friend's house...

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia nodded and looked out the window, staring at the landscape as it flew by. There was homeless people huddled together, looking for food or shelter. She sighed, Gotham hadn't changed. She looked down, only the glance right back up. She threw herself against the door, ripping up the lock. She leaped from the car, rolling and landing in a crouch. After shaking off slight dizziness she leaped to her feet and shot out after a fleeing man. Her legs pumped and her sapphire like eyes flickered to the alley. She turned and dove into the darkness, coming out into another street and swinging to the left, and turning down another dark alley. She ran straight into the man. She stumbled slightly and glared at him. She heard Gordon, who had been trying to catch him with a team of men shout out to her that this man was dangerous. She clenched her fists, "Then let's do this." She growled and cartwheeled to the right as a bang went off. She flipped and slammed her heels into his head...or at least tried to. He grabbed her ankle and twisted it. She screamed and as he let it go her body fell into the ground, the air being driven from her body. She gasped and sputtered as he pointed his gun at her. She kicked up her knee driving it up into his groin. He stumbled and she flipped onto her feet. She leaped to the side as he shot at her again. She was standing by a building...her first mistake. He came at her and she backed up thinking she had somewhere to flip onto. She backed straight into the wall, her body banging against it. She swallowed, and closed her eyes and looked away. A bang went off and her arm was yanked as she was pulled out of the way. She was shoved behind someone, stumbling slightly. Gordon was in front of her facing the man. She was grabbed from behind by another thug and he shoved her across the ground, kicking her in the stomach. She coughed trying to regain her breath, but as she did and was getting to her feet she heard a loud bang and a dull thud of knees hitting the pavement. Amelia whipped around. "Gordon!" the name slipped from her mouth in a scream. As he groaned and pressed a hand to his bleeding chest she leaped forward, being grabbed again and kicked by the first man with the gun. They threw her to the ground, a heap on the floor, with tears running down her cheeks. She crawled to his side and pulled the commissioner into her lap, pressing her bare palm against his chest. He'd been a father to her when she hadn't had anyone she wasn't about to let him die because of her stupid mistake.

[John Blake]

As Amelia jumped from the car, he slammed on the brakes and jumped out after her, wincing as his foot tangled in the seat belt. He untangled himself, muttering a string or curses as he ran, limping towards where Amelia had gone.
He saw her jump onto the roof, after the man, Gordon following her. He tried to keep up, but as he climbed halfway down the wall, he slipped back down.
At the sound of gunshots, he climbed it again, making it to the top this time. He saw a bleeding Gordon in Amelia's arms. Rage flashed through him as the man aimed a gun at Amelia and the downed commissioner.
With a cry he psalter forward, using the Robin's moves as he slammed his fists into the man, using his acrobatics to get away, he winced as a fist slammed his jaw, but he didn't stop as he kicked out the man's feet, kneeling on his back as he cuffs d the bastard.
A kick to the back sent Blake stumbeling forward. He turned around, a gun barrel in his face. He swallowed hard as it clicked. He rolled a hard left, the bullet grazing his cheek. He winced as he rolled to his feet, slamming the man back with his fists and tackeling him down to the ground, wrestle ling with the armed man...

[Amelia Raven Blake]

"Gordon, please....hang on." she begged, tears pouring down her face. She pressed harder against the wound, blood seeping through her fingers. "You can't die because of my stupid mistake..." she murmured, as his unfocused eyes tried to meet hers. "Amelia...." his voice was pained and he stuttered, having a hard time getting her name out. She pressed a gentle finger to his lips, hushing him. "Shh, don't speak, there will be time for that, later." Her tears came quicker and harder then ever when he stuttered out that he didn't know if there was going to be a later. "No, no, no, no, no! Don't say that!"

[John Blake]

He winced in pain as a bullet slammed into his side, but he refused to stop wresteling with the man. He grit his teeth as he finally subdued the man, getting another two gunshot wounds. He had abgrazed cheek and a grazed forehead. A shot stomach and anoter through hip. He slammed a wire wrapped cuff onto the man's wristes and crawled over to Amelia and Gordon...

Amelia pressed her hand against his chest, willing it to stop bleeding, but the red liquid just continued to spill through her fingers. "Gordon please! I lost my real father, I can't loose you too..." Tears spilled down her face as she looked at Blake, "Blake! You're hurt...." She exclaimed, her eyes on the bullet to his stomach. "Please tell me someone has a charged phone!" This was a horrible time to have left her charger at SHIELD.

[John Blake]

Blake winced as he pulled out his phone handing it to her. "I'm fine." He muttered, his eyes on Gordon. His old friend was hurt bad, he took his hands away from his own bleeding wounds and pressed them down over Amelia's, adding more pressure to his chest. He pushed down as hard as he could, which was still hard, Eben in his weakened state...

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia took the phone and dialed the number, ordering for the medics and the ambulance at the intersection of the streets were they were. She hung up after giving the instructions and handing Blake the phone. Gordon softly told her that she was worth saving and Amelia's tears came faster, he thought he was going to die. "Gordon, stop...I need you to live...I need you to hang on the medics will be here soon..." He apologized gently as his eyes began to close. "No!" she yelped, pressing her pointer and middle finger to the side of his neck, checking for a pulse, it was there but it was faint. "Dammit Gordon, hold on!"

[John Blake]

He took the phone and slipped it into his pocket. When Gideon's eyes closed, he lost it. He slid his arms under the commissioner and it took a great effort to lift him, the strain sending more blood rolling from hos two deep wounds.
He walked towards the edge of the building and looked down. There was no easy way to do it... He gently slid down, wincing as the hot wall tore at his back. He left a crimson streak on the wall, but his adrenalin was to high to let his pain come through. He jogged to the road, Gordon in his arms as he stood, waiting for the amnulence, his adrenalin still pumping...

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia instantly followed him, leaping down and easily landing on her feet. She came to Blake's side and gently cradled the commissioner's head in her hands as a trickle of blood came from his mouth. The tears poured nonstop down her face as her thumb gently brushed it away. The wailing sirens stopped in front of them, blaring and threatening to break her ear drums, but she didn't care. Gordon was taken from Blake's arms and Amelia took a step forward to enter the ambulance with the man who was the father she never had but the doors were slammed and the ambulance shot off the screaming sirens echoing throughout the city. Her knees wobbled and she slipped to the ground, her head falling into her hands as she cried, her shoulders shaking. This is all my fault... she thought.
