Walking back over, he stopped about half way from her when she said about her one mask still being in the bathroom sink. He looked at her. He wasn't about to let her try and go off and get it. In her state she looked as though she was about to fall over at any minute.
"Wait here, I'll get it," Dick said as he walked off again and headed for the bathroom. It wasn't that far from where they were. And within a few seconds he was in the doorway and turned on the light. And sure enough, there was her mask still sitting in the sink.
He reached over and grabbed it from the sink. Turning and heading back out to the livingroom, he went up to Selina. Holding out the mask to her, he said, "Here's your mask."
Returning back to her earlier comments, Dick thought about what she had said. He was going to help her to get a cab. "Yeah, I'll come down with you to make sure everything is alright. We don't want to chance anything else happening after what has already," he commented. "As for the Batcave, your right on that." He spoke adding to it that it pretty much had everything you could find when it come to having an injury that needed packing up.
"By the way it would probably be best to take the elevator down of course, unless you want to walk more than ten stories worth of stairs," he added.

Selina waited there, taking the mask as he returned it to her, flipping open her bag to stuff it inside. “Thanks,Dick. I really appreciate it. For all that has happened, I really owe you one. And if I may say, it's a good thing you turned out a bit different than Bruce. More like...Batman, if you know what I mean. Save for the voice. And the tough asshole part.” She paused, thinking on the two men she knew, and this hybrid of sorts she had come to know as Robin, then Nightwing, and now Dick.
Pushing away from the wall slowly she steadied herself, gearing up to head downstairs, despite the growing band of pain around her temples. “No, I'd rather not collapse in your elevator, or even worse, the stairs and have to explain away why I'm in the comissioner's daughter's jeans and your hoodie. I could come up with some sort of explanation, but I'd rather not the story be fabricated that I'm an escort on the side.”
She would follow him out the door of his flat, and to the elevator to finally be able to get home.

Dick listened to her as she spoke. Noticing that she was still a little dazed with all that had happened. It was easy for him to pick up on this of course giving her body language. "Yeah, definitely do not need anything like that breaking out. A story like that would cause a lot of problems," Dick replied to her.
He stopped before he went to open the door. "Though with this whole situation, the true situation and story would give Gotham a field day and the police an easier target," he said flatly. That was the last thing he needed. But he had to trust Selina. She knew his secret and he knew her's. So it was a stalemate.
It was just a matter of working it out and staying on each others good sides. And Dick was still going to keep an eye to make sure nothing would be used against him. The one thing when growing up under the cape of Batman, was that you were always a bit suspicions. But this was a bit different situation seeing as Selina was almost on the edge between vigilante and criminal most times. She never did something just for he fun of it or to hurt anyone. That was what set her apart from the other criminals.
Dick opened the door and led the way to the elevator. He went slow to keep near Selina, just in case she needed someone to catch her is her body couldn't take the dizziness any longer. He just hoped it wouldn't come to that. Once at the elevator, he hit the button for it to come.
"This has certainly been an interesting event," he said to Selina. He kept his voice low. There was no body about, but he wouldn't take the chance.

"Tell me about it. And I don't want the press to get whiff of this just as much as you don't. Or Batman. Or Bruce. I know all three of those parties on differing levels...and lets just say I want to keep those levels where they are. But, I do have to thank you again. Maybe I'll call in a day or two.. Just...try to keep Batman off my back for the next...few days at least. I'd rather him figure out who I am on his own, instead of you leaking it. The pride issues would never die, trust me."
Smirking, she leaned against the innards of the elevator as they rode down. She was injured badly enough she was going to need some sort of cover for herself as Selina. A good one that was plausable. She hated skiing, but..it might come handy if she was new at it. Once the elevator dinged, she was poised to grab a cab, having a feeling that he was going to make sure she was gone from his doorstep before he left her side. Call it an occupational hazard.

As she went on, the elevation continued down. Dick agreed with her on most of the subject. They were almost in the same line of work and it would be too much to have anything collide with anything at any time. At least she hadn't figured out anything about putting two and two together and figuring out who Batman was.
There was no way he was going to say anything about it. The less she knew the better for everyone. Especially for him and for Bruce. "Trust me, I won't. He'd have my head for this as well," Dick replied half jokingly.
"And I understand the situation with the media. They're like wolves for a good story to twist. That and being the ward of Bruce Wayne, I try to stay away from anything to do with the press," Dick commented. He didn't like being in the public's eye. It was hard enough being a vigilante, and with being a ward to the Wayne air, it was hard to get away from the media with them follow Bruce and his life all the time.
Once the elevator stopped, Dick stepped out. He'd follow her to the road and help call down a cab for her. She looked like she was about to follow over. He just hoped she could make it back on her own. If he had had time, he wouldn't have minded trying to get a hold of Alfred to drive her back. She wouldn't added it up. And he would have ensured her he wouldn't say anything about it. And with Alfred, he knew he could trust him with anything to begin with.

Selina laughed, trying not to move too much before they left the elevator. "Yeah, being the good ward of Bruce got you in tight with Batman. I think the proper choices were made for you there." It wasn't long before the cab was hailed, and she tentatively took a step forward, her hand slipping into her bag and removing a small slip of paper card, deftly making sure it was in the pocket of his jeans by the time she released her hug on him.
"I appreciate all the help. Give me a call in a few days, just to make sure I'm not dead..." She teased, raising a hand in departure, and winking once she was finally tucked into the cab. She was going straight home after this. He more than likely wasn't going to be following her, and last of all, he was right.
There was an awkward stalemate. She couldn't say anything, because he could then move. If she did anything, so could he. And so on. And right now, he had two men that were important parts of his life that needed to remain oblivious to what happened. Well, Bruce might congratulate his son, but Batman surely would have a conniption. And she hurt. So with her address stated to the cabbie, she leaned against the seat, waiting until she was home, and able to slip into a hot bath.

Dick was glad she wasn't putting two and two together. And he hoped it would stay that way. He wasn't going to breathe a word of this to anyone. Not even Barbara unless she some how found out about it. As for the rest of the Bat-family, they would have to find out for themselves.
Of course, things could be different if Bruce some how found out about all this. Though it wouldn't surprise him if he some how did find out. After all, the guy was Batman. And nothing every seemed to get pass him. Hopefully this would go unknown to anyone but Selina and himself.
Then when Selina turned to him, he was caught off guard by the sudden hug from the woman. Definitely not something that happened everyday between someone you fought with constantly. It was still awkward from him, this whole new situation. He felt her slip something into one of his pockets while she hugged him. He had noticed, you didn't do through years of training to miss that kind of small stuff.
If it had been a check, he would find away to return it to her. He wasn't going to take her money for helping her. It's what he did. He'd want someone to do the same for him if they were long good term. Catwoman in this case was between the lines.
"No problem. And I will," Dick replied to her as she got into the cab. "Take it easy." He watched as the cab pulled away. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the small card she had put in his pocket, At least now he had her number. And now to take care of his own problems.
