Ready, set, ow (Lindsey)
She and Dinah were going to look into getting members for a new League together. That made Zatanna feel good, especially considering her history with the League and Batman, but bygones were apparently bygones and she'll take whatever chance she can get! It did mean that she needed to get to know the City a bit better. She thought the best way to do that was to put Fred's theory of random teleportation to the test. Her working theory was that so long as she wasn't trying to get out of the City, was working with it the teleports shouldn't be that terrible.

The best laid plans of mice and mystics should be her new motto. Her teleport planted her right in the middle of a road, facing down an oncoming pickup truck. She only had enough time to gasp out a profanity before it connected with her, sending her sprawling and her hat flying off her head to land perfectly on the hood of the truck.

Happily, the City didn't stop him from finding the hospital. Lindsey stopped the truck in front of it and put it in park, and cut the engine. As usually seemed to be the case with hospitals, there were some orderlies near the door, waiting to help. They started to head toward the truck.

"Y'want me to go in there with you, or am I just the dick who hit ya with a truck?"

She tilted her head a little as she pondered that. On the one hand she had put him into a very awkward position and he was nice enough to take her to the hospital when he could have just called for an ambulance. He has done enough for the trouble she'd caused.

On the other, he really was kind of pretty.

She shrugged a shoulder slightly with a smile as the orderly opened the door. "I'd understand if you want to clear out. Continue with whatever plans I rudely interupted. But I wouldn't mind someone making sure the xray techs don't cop a feel."

Lindsey chuckled. He liked her. Whatever this place was and whatever role he had in it, which he still wasn't too sure of, he liked this woman. He could use a friendly face. Hell, right about now, he'd be glad to see Angel. But that was unlikely.

He nodded. "I'll check in on ya in a little bit."

He had to park the truck, after all. "I'll find ya. Coupla minutes."

Once she was out of the truck and safe with the orderlies, Lindsey pulled away from the front of the hospital, looking for somewhere to leave the car. He'd go in and make sure she was okay, and he'd get on with... whatever the fuck he was doing. He wasn't too sure what that was.

She was still at the nurses' station of the ER with one orderly filling out paperwork while another was touching her knee with both hands. Zee was giving him a dubious look with a wry smirk.

"Yes, I know I don't have any form of ID on me, but is that really going to keep you from fixing my leg?" She spied Lindsey and blew a lock of her hair out of her face. "You see what I have to work with here?"

Lindsey arched an eyebrow at the nurse at the station.

"Ma'am, d'you mind if I take a look at that?" he asked, gesturing to the form the nurse was talking about.

He scanned it, and flipped it over and read the other side. Insurance was always a nightmare, and, he was pretty sure, invented by demons, but there was nothing on this form that said someone could be denied medical help for not having proper i.d.

He handed the form back and gave the nurse a close-lipped smile.

"There's nothin' on that form that says you've got any grounds to deny this woman medical attention, not you or this hospital. Matter of fact, if you do deny her service, I'm confident there's a lawyer in this town'll slap you with a lawsuit faster'an you can say 'go on through those doors, miss.'"

He blinked and turned up the smile.

The nurse huffed. Zee blinked and stared then beamed a smile at the orderlies. "Oh snap. Girlfriend's got a pitbull on retainer." How and who she wasn't entirely certain but she thinks she could hazard a guess safely.

"Possible dislocation of the knee. The ankle might be fractured, but we won't know for sure until we get some images." The orderly at her knee was just as amused as she was but kept his smirk hidden. "How did this happen again?"

Zee turned that smile to him and answered immediately. "Skateboarding."

Lindsey scowled, just slightly, but the smile didn't fade. He'd perfected that at Wolfram and Hart.

Skateboarding. That was cute. He waited until the nurses got her a wheel chair to take her into X-ray, and stopped the one that was ready to wheel her off. He leaned over to Zee and arched an eyebrow. "Think you can take it from here? Think I scared 'em enough."

He fished in his pocket and pulled out one of the business cards he'd found in his drawer in his weird office with his weird assistant. There was an address and a phone number, but no firm name. The only words on them were LINDSEY MCDONALD, ATTORNEY AT LAW. He shook his head at the card before holding it out to her.

	Well, it looked like she'd be taking a taxi home to Shadowcrest, but she really wouldn't ask him to wait around. She'd caused him enough trouble and he was being a good sport about it. "Yeah. Thanks." She smiled as she took the card and saw that her guess had been right. Weird lawyer. He drove a pickup instead of a Benz. She liked that. "I owe you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I owe you. Lindsey shook his head. "Naw, nobody owes me anything," he said, giving her a smile and a wave. (Reply to this) (Parent)
