Thanks!

(Warnings this story will contain bad language, Sex and some risky situations.)

Also A Disclaimer: I do not own The DC Universe, Young Justice nor the characters (I will say that Robin and Kid Flash deserves to be together even though it seems like the show goes a different route with their relationship.)


"Twenty-five seconds and counting." Robin pounced in his head sweat dipping down his face and onto his neck. "Man-Hunter take Miss Martian and go!"

"No! We won't leave you!" Me'Gann screamed back at Robin who watched as she gripped onto her uncle's arm tighter.

"That's an order! we'll follow as soon as we blow those doors!" Robin yelled in his head his drive of being strong like Batman was waning thin.

As he watched as his only way of escaping density shifted through the floor, that's when he started thinking about the older boy beside him.

'I have to at least tell him if…"

"Rob? How much time do we have?" Robin heard Kid Flash say. Robin still debating with himself, pushed the button to his holographic computer to reveal their fate.

"fifteen seconds." Robin muttered, as he looked up at Kid Flash even though his face was blank with the fate that they had been given his green eyes showed fear, as Robin watched Kid Flash give him a slight nod.

'He'll never know, this would be my only chance.'

In that instant Robin made up his mind, as he stepped closer to Wally who was about to pull on his goggles when Robin shot his hand out to stop him. Robin watched as Wally looked down to finally notice how close the two were.

"Rob…?"

With Robin's other hand he lifted it to his mask never taking his eyes off of Wally's. Wally now looking like his eyes were about to be popped out of his head grew even buggier. Robin smiled a bit as he closed his eyes and ripped the mask off.

'It's now or never…"

"Robin…?"

"Eight Seconds."

Robin stated checking the time that was left, and he looked up at Wally, Wally who was now looking at this new kind of boy wonder was absolutely memorized by the boy's eyes it was the bluest color he had ever seen. He was pretty sure it didn't exist in a crayon box.

"Wally…"

The younger boy whom Wally had been friends with for so long, the younger boy whom was like a little brother to him was now getting closer those dusty rose colored lips were parting. He jumped a bit when he felt Robin's gloved hands on his clad shoulders he knew what was coming but he didn't stop it.. He didn't want to… They were a breath away both boys lip's were quivering in accupation for both waiting for the other to take the last step. Wally decided that he would and leaned in to touch Robin's lips with his. He was surrounded by heat that he knew wasn't just from the fire circling around them, Robin's lips were intoxicating and his last thought before he was blown away was;

'I can't believe he never told me…'


He awoke with a jolt. A strangled cry escaped his overly dry throat as he opened his eyes a light that was so blinding made him close them, as he started to breathe heavily. He was laying on what felt like metal that was left in a freezer as a icy shiver wrecked through his young body.

'I'm not dead? Am I in heaven then? What's going on? Shouldn't I still be enduring a fiery death?'

"Robin?"

He knew that voice. That was the voice who gave him a family when his was lost. The one that held him when he was younger when he cried after he had a nightmare. The one that let him become "Robin the Boy Wonder", but the voice he was hearing now was only when Bruce was Batman.

'Isn't this the after life? Shouldn't Bruce be calling me Dick?'

Robin turned his head to the direction of the voice and once again opened his eyes. A tinted view of the Dark Knight filled his vision.

"Sit up."

He did so his body protesting in every possible way making him gasp out in pain. Red Tornado was standing beside Batman offering Robin a glass of what he assumed was water. He took it gingerly as he put it to his lips and began to down it feeling how the ice cold water trickled down his throat flowed down his esophagus and into his stomach making him quenched, but it left him shivering, but he was sure that the coldness wasn't the only factor as to why he was shivering. He opened his mouth about to say something when he heard a high pitched voice to the right of him.

"You're all alive!"

Robin turned his head to see Me'Gann's smiling face and his other teammates who just like him had a Justice League member by there side. He looked at Wally who was clutching his head in pain as Captain Marvel tried helping him up.

"What happened in there?" Robin heard Batman's voice get darker he pried his gaze off of Wally and towards his mentor.

"The exercise.. It all went wrong." Man-Hunter said weakly his hand on his head.

"Exercise… Wha?-"

Robin watched as Batman took his gaze off of the sickly looking Man-Hunter and onto him as Batman said

"Try to remember…"

Robin closed his eyes and tried but all he could think about was Wally…

"What you experienced was a training exercise Man-Hunter psyched re-linked the six of you into a artificial reality, you all knew this going in. What you didn't know was that it was a trained for failure exercise no matter what the team accomplished the sinarerieo was designed to grow worse. Still you were aware of nothing was real including the deaths of the entire Justice League…"

'It is true. It's all coming back now, oh man… Wally is going to kill me.'

"That is why you hardly grieved. Even when Wolf discritcated before your eyes, But all that changed when Artemis died…"

Robin looked over at Wally whose eyes trailed toward Artemis a look of concerned etched in that freckled face that made something in Robin want to lash out on her, but he held his ground he didn't want to admit it but he was jealous. Of course Wally wasn't interested in him. What did he compare to Artemis and Megan or any girl for that matter? Wally was a huge flirt with the girls. He knew this, but in that moment he thought it was going to be the last time he would ever see Wally and hadn't Wally leaned in to kiss him?

"Though consciously Miss Martian knew it was not real her subconscious mind could not make that distinction she had forgotten that it was real, making the rest of you forget as well…"

The whole team looked over at Me'Gann whom looked about to cry as she spoke her voice cracking.

"I'm- I'm so sorry"

"This isn't her fault!" Superboy yelled out looking over at Batman and Man-Hunter as Robin looked down at his hands thinking.

'No, but she may have had took a part in me losing one of my best friends.'

"Why didn't you stop the exercise?" He heard Superboy ask.

"We tried but Me'Gann had a death grip on the false reality… I knew I had to go in and do something but when I arrived there was so much… noise I couldn't think, when Aqualad and Superboy died my mind became a bit clearly but only when Kid Flash and Robin was silenced was my mind clear and I remembered my propose. I needed to shock Me'Gann out of the exercise before your commas became permanent… I fully apologize I had no idea a training exercise could be this dangerous. So damaging…"

Robin looked up to see that Wally had his face in his hands. 'He hasn't looked at me at all since we've woken up.' Wally must've finally sensed someone's eyes on him because he looked up at Robin whose face turn a pinkish hue at the moment back in the mother-ship took place in his head. Robin's face grew hotter as he looked down at his hands again.

'I might not have died, but I surely I will now… Wals is seriously going hate me if he doesn't right now…'

"Robin?" he jumped at the sound of his name. Not knowing how long he had sat there, as he just wanted to wallow in his despair of a now ruined life. He looked up seeing Batman tower over him, turning on his blank mask that his mentor taught him not so long ago.

"You alright?" The Dark Knight asked as Robin watched him kneel down to be the same eye level as he was. Robin nodded not really trusting his voice at the moment.

"It's about time to go on patrol you coming?"

Robin shook his head, as he looked down at his hands once more. He knew he would be too traumatized to do much tonight. He saw Batman looked to the side probably checking to see if anyone else was in the room then he said.

"We'll talk about this later Chum.' and just like that Batman was gone leaving Robin alone or though he thought.

"Rob?"

'Third time is the charm' thought Robin as he jumped again that day, it was something close like a whisper as he felt a familiar warm and scent as he looked upward to see Wally sitting next to him. Wally was looking at him about to say something but he seemed not be able to…

"I'm sorry…"

and just like that he was gone leaving a boy named Dick Grayson in a shocked stage that not a lot of thirteen year olds could handle, there was one thing that Batman didn't prepare him and he out a silent cry as tears spilled from his beauteous eyes down his porcelain like cheeks…
