Some time passed and the trio made their way back to the Batcave after busting up the buy set to take place this evening. As the trio entered Bruce's inner sanctum, he did not look pleased and with Alfred being around the older hero for so long, he knew what that look meant and took this opportunity to fetch first aid to treat Wicz's wound.
"You stopped the buy from going down but we have a potentially larger problem."
‘Oh crud!’ Wicz’s expression faltered for all of a moment before he broke eye contact, lips tightening and gaze firmly locked on the floor as he waits for Alfred tend his wound. “Does this have to do with me? Because if it is, I-I’m sorry I ruined the mission for you,” he uttered before he could think better of it, his free hand unclenched listlessly as if worst case scenario from the nail that injured him came true and the feeling of disappointment consumes him whole.

"Let me guess...There's another seller? Maybe another supply?" Chris said as he thought of scenarios.

Carrie placed her hand on Wicz's shoulder. "This could have happened to any one of us. Don't blame yourself." She glared at Bruce as if daring him to contradict her. "I'm sure whatever the bigger problem is it's not because of you."

"Fix your eyes." Bruce quickly shot down her defiance as he was in no mood to entertain her in-house heroics.
"Wicz, you got sloppy. As you left the scene, you scraped against a sharp item causing you to bleed. If the GCPD...or someone else notices, it won't take long for your identity to be exposed, compromising our entire operation."

Feeling the immense pressure by Bruce's gaze, Wicz averts his eyes away from his mentor since he’s not a fan of eye-to-eye contact. “I appreciate your comfort, Carrie. I-I really do.” The Red Ranger spoke sincerely, his fingers fiddling uncontrollably. “But Bruce’s right. I d-did this. I never meant for this to happen and now I'll take full responsibility for it.... so no worries."

Chris just shook his head. He knew Bruce was right but this tough love shit was for the birds. All he could do was shake his head cause he knew if he'd answer Bruce was just gonna brutalize him.

"So you never made a mistake in all the years you've been Batman?" Carrie said not willing to back down.

"We're not talking about me. The sooner you get past your urge to constantly challenge me, the better off you'll be."
Bruce turned back to Wicz, fully focused on the task at hand. Turning back to the large computer, Bruce monitored the police in the area who fortunately didn't notice Wicz's blood but saw that some of the blood went missing during his brief conversation with the team.
"Young Masters, I've prepared a snack upstairs for your nourishment." Alfred always had a knack for having an ear out, especially when it involved Bruce scolding one of his young teammates. He came back down to the Batcave with the announcement as a way to get the trio out of Bruce's warpath and allow them to compose themselves.

As Chris made his way upstairs, he looked at Alfred. "I don't know how you put up with him." Chris said as he made his way to the kitchen where the snacks that Alfred made were located.

Despite getting an earful from Bruce, Wicz silently admitted he needs that. To him, Bruce has his reasons to be strict and he knows he’s doing his best even after his comrades’ verbal insolence, which frankly makes him feel embarrassed for being in a mix. Swallowing a sob, the Red Ranger’s eyes gazed at the computer, watching the cops occupied with the crooks while not seeing the inflicted nail. He blinks his eyes, smirked briefly in relief as Alfred arrives announcing their snack time.
With the others heading upstairs to eat, Wicz took one last glance at Bruce, wondering what went wrong with everything at the moment, before leaving with the others. After entering in the kitchen to sit in his seat, he saw the first aid kit laid out for him to treat his cut. Grabbing the cotton balls, the oxygen peroxide, and the gauze, Wicz begins to tend his wound.

Carrie stood there for a few moments as the others headed upstairs. With one last glare at Bruce she went to join the others. When she got upstairs she saw Wicz treating his wound. "Here let me get that," she said. She took the cotton balls and the oxygen peroxide and got to work.

Wicz was busy dabbing the wound with oxygen peroxide-filled cotton ball that he heard Carrie offering him to help. Knowing that she needed distraction from earlier, the Red Ranger lets her take care of him as he collects his thoughts. The later end of the day is by far full of complete and utter stress. As much as he's anxious, he's also irritated. He couldn't help but blurt out, “Oy vey. Guys, can you just… cut Mr. Wayne some slack.”

Chris was about to take a bite from his sandwich when he heard Wicz say “Oy vey. Guys, can you just… cut Mr. Wayne some slack.”. Chris turned around and looked at Wicz. "Slack? You want us to cut him some slack? The guy thinks he's perfect. Like he's some sort of God. Wicz, you give him too much credit. We are human. We make mistakes. That's what makes us human. Ain't no body on this earth, including Wayne perfect. We just strive to do the best we can with what we are given. And if Wayne can't take that then that's his problem. That's how I was raised." Chris said as he finally bit into his sandwich.

Chris said as he finally bit into his sandwich.
Wicz couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Chris's response. “Mr. Wayne is new to this mentoring thing as much as we are as Rangers. He has his reasons to act strict and not because he's perfect according to you." He explained rationally without stuttering his words. "I get that putting up with him is never easy for all of us. I get it. But he's not always like that."

Carrie tensed up at what Wicz said but kept gently treating his wound. "Look I get that he's new to mentoring us but this is also our first time out. He could at least cut you some slack."
