one muse who is usually antagonistic finds the other muse injured and ends up helping them - hear me out, Jim is always the one getting hurt, what if it’s Zee who needs rescuing this time?

╰❂╮The ambush was to be expected, or at least it certainly should have been, since the whole thing sounded like a set up. Zee stuck to remaining hidden from sight, he didn't want to have to get involved unless absolutely necessary, since none of them (least of all Gordon) knew he'd followed the squad cars to what was supposedly supposed to be a trade of goods... which was just another way for them to say prisoner exchange.
Things appeared to be going as smoothly as dealing with some of Gotham's top tier criminals went, until it seemed like one of the younger officers broke under the tension, causing a domino effect that plunged the whole situation into chaos. Silver eyes caught sight of the detective too caught up in exchanging fire to see the car heading for him, and the beast sprang into action. Moving as inhumanly quick and agile as his body would allow, Zee was able to grab Jim before the man could be run over, and drag them both into the nearest alley for cover.
"Are you to being hurt?" the beastly voice inquired, laced with pain between slightly more labored breathing than usual, while looking in Jim's direction without actually seeing him. Though he'd managed to dodge the vehicle with his precious cargo, he hadn't managed to rush through the firefight unscathed. The wound was not a mortal one in itself, but running in front of the car left the beast temporarily blinded by the overly bright headlights. Unable to see to plan an escape, he found himself on the other side of the coin and needing Jim to get them both out of there.
