"Why do I have to watch Dick and Wally?" Roy asked clearly irritated.

"Because." Oliver said pulling up to Wayne Manor. Roy got out of the car and slowly made his way inside. He was greeted by 11-year-old Wally who was jumping up and down with excitement. Dick was just sitting on the couch with a mix of irritation and slight nervousness in his expression. He nodded to acknowledge Roy's presence.

"So we will be back tomorrow afternoon. Dick has a cold but it isn't too bad, don't let Wally have sugar, there's dinner in the fridge, and Dick knows were the movies are." Bruce said as he came down from the stairs.

"Can you at least tell us where you guys are going that is making me watch the two of them?" Roy asked

"We have a mission across the sea." Barry said randomly appearing.

"We better get heading." Oliver said following the others to the bat cave. Dick jumped up and grabbed Bruce's arm.

"Don't go!" He whined.

"Don't worry Dick. It's only going to be for a night." Bruce said trying to reassure his son.

"Why don't you go and sit back down. You don't want to get sicker, do you?" Bruce said trying to get Dick off him as nicely as possible. Dick frowned and sat back down, Bruce turned to Roy again.

"Sorry about that. It's the first time I've had to leave Dick over night with a babysitter and again he has a cold so he may be a little nervous." Bruce said then resumed walking to the bat cave.

'Oh great, I'm left for the night babysitting a monkey and a sick nervous wreck.' Roy thought to himself.

"THIS IS GONNA BE SO AWESOME!" Wally cheered.

"So what do you guys want to do?" Roy asked.

"Can we play something, or eat, or-." Wally was cut off by Roy randomly jumping up.

"Where's Dick?" Roy asked looking around the room.

"I don't know." Wally said halfheartedly.

"Ugh, we have to find him!" Roy said running out of the room.

"Maybe he's in his room or the bathroom or the library or-." Wally said as they walked down the hallway, checking all those places. Roy was just about to give up all hope and just take a beating from Bruce.

"Or the bat cave." Wally said finishing his list.

"That's it!" Roy said running to the old grandfather clock that got them to the bat cave. He ran so fast that he nearly missed the 9-year-old sitting on a chair in front of the fireplace.

"FOUND HIM!" Wally called over to Roy.

"Dick, what are you doing here?" Roy asked crouching down to Dick's level.

"This is where Bruce reads to me when I can't sleep." Dick said sounding very depressed.

"Oh come on, he's only been gone for 15 minutes." Roy said, but still he felt bad for him. Dick just sighed.

"Well this is awkward, can we eat now?" Wally asked.

"Fine." Roy said.

Roy had gotten down the frozen pizza that Bruce had left them when Wally gave a small protest.

"I don't like pepperoni." He said angrily.

"Then pick it off." Roy said sitting down. He was just about to eat when Dick tapped on him.

"Yes?" He asked.

"I don't feel good again." Dick said with a cough. Roy sighed.

"Well go sit on the couch for now; I'll be there in a minute." Roy said. Dick nodded and did as he was told. After about 5 minutes Roy was just about to clear the table when Wally came running in the room.

"There's something wrong with Dick." He said sounding worried. Roy dropped what he was doing and ran out of the room. Sure enough, Dick was sitting on the couch coughing like there was no tomorrow. He trembled violently, going almost completely red. He seemed very scared.

"You're ok, you're ok." Roy said soothingly as he went to Dick's side. He picked up the small child and rubbed his back trying to calm him down.

After Dick had calmed down a little, Roy thought it would be best to get him some medicine.

"Wally, watch him for a second, I'm going to go get some medicine." Roy said getting up.

He reached into the medicine cabinet and found a note on one of the bottles. It read:

Roy,

I gave Dick medicine around 3pm so he can get more around 9pm. If his symptoms come back give him 1tsp of this and take his temperature. If it's at 100, call me.

-Bruce

Roy turned and grabbed the thermometer as well. He walked back in to the room and did what the note said. It took a minute for the thermometer ring but once it did it read 100.2. Roy wrapped Dick in another blanket then walked to the phone.

"Is Di gonna be ok?" Wally asked still a little shook up.

"Yes, Bruce just wanted me to call." Roy answered. After a few rings Bruce picked up.

"Is everything ok?" Bruce asked.

"Yeah it's just Dick had a coughing fit and his temperature was 100.2, I gave him medicine. Is there anything else you want me to do?" Roy said.

"Just make sure he gets some rest and call me in you need anything else." Bruce said before hanging up. Roy turned and walked back into the living room. Dick was now asleep.

Roy had just settled next to Dick when Wally jumped up.

"Can we play tag!" He asked

"No, and talk quieter, you'll wake Dick up!" Roy said as loud as he dared. But Wally wasn't going to take no for an answer. He got next to Dick's ear and was getting ready to yell when Roy thought of something.

"How about a movie?" He asked quickly. Wally thought over this and agreed. Roy had just put in the movie to find Wally fast asleep as well. Sitting back down, Roy followed the other boys lead and fell asleep as well.
