"I'm fine, my wrist is sprained though" she looked down, trying not to show her eyes "Bruce what's in this cave?"

*A beat, as Bruce wondered just how much she'd seen down here. He had to resist the urge to glance at the waterfall*
"I'm glad to see you're all right--I fell down here once, as a kid."
*He glanced over her wrist again before meeting her gaze*
"This cave? Bats, mostly, and an underground water system."

Jess looked up and smiled "Bats huh?" she held her wrist straight, any movement caused pain to fly up through her neck "I love Bats, except when they get close, then those flying rats can take a hike."
She heard a squeel from above and looked up to see hundreds of bats sleeping "Beautiful, I mean is there anything behind the waterfall?" She tried to hide the fact that she was slightly wet.

*Inspite of the circumstances, he had to chuckle at her bat comment*
"Not even Batman could get close?"
*This time, he COULD quickly look at the falls, and did, before going back to Jess again*
"Probably more bats." *He said, nonchalantly.
It wasn't until then that he notice her clothes were damp.*
What have you been up to, Jess?

She shivered a bit "This place is mighty damp isn't it? When I fell I sort of rolled a bit, the falls splashes all over the place" she said as is she had read his mind.

*There it was again. That eerie ability to sense what one was going to say. If Bruce hadn't been so practical, he could swear that she'd been reading his mind. As it was, he was worried that she had seen more than water or rocks*
"Yes. Let's get out of here and get that wrist taken care of."
*They could talk more later. Now was not the time for this.
It took a bit of finangling with the rope, but he figured out a way for it to support both him and her as he climbed up, without jarring her injury too much*
"Ready?"

Jess bit her lip and nodded as they began their acent out of the well, she hated climbing as well as heights, looking down through the well or looking up, it wasn't doing her any good, so she closed her eyes and held on tight.

*It was a bit harder with a second person, but eventually Bruce was able to get them both out of there and safely on stable ground. Seeing her with her eyes squeezed shut, Bruce rubbed her shoulder reassuringly*
"Safe and sound, Jess."

Jess tapped the ground with her foot before opening one eye and sighing "As they say, no one is without fear" he unlatched her from him and she stepped back "I guess we should probably get to the infirmary unless Alfred can fix sprained wrists."

*Now that they were in full daylight again, he could see that she truly wasn't injured other than her wrist*
"No, I'm afraid that Alfred doesn't have the expertise on that front."

"Well shucks" she usually snapped with her hand that was sprained, but decided that was a bad idea "to the infirmary then?"

*Bruce nodded* "We'll take the Jag--it's the fastest car. "

**BACK FROM INFIRMARY**
*Feeling a bit protective, Bruce led Jess back into the house. At their entrance, Alfred came rushing up to them*
"Miss Jess! Are you all right, my dear?"

Jess smiled softly "Yes, thank you, I just had a spill down the well, that's all" she moved in to the house and blinked "I think before lunch I'm going to lay down for a bit, if that's all right with you Bruce?"

"Go ahead Jess, you'll need it. But if it's all right, how about I escort you upstairs?"
