I woke up with a headache and feeling sore all over my body. I tried to get up from my bed and I can't believe that it was the hard thing for me to do it today.
'I'm so dead if Uncle Barry found out about this.'
When my feet on the floor, my head started to throbbed badly and it's making my vision blurry.
'Ugh, this is not going to be as easy as I though.'
I dragged myself to the shower to cool myself as I started to feel hot.
'I am soooo lucky that its weekend so I don't have to go to school' I started to relax but just for a brief moment when I realised something terrible.
'Crap, that means more time with Uncle Barry and the team' I let out a heavy sighed and started figuring on how can I avoid my uncle and the team from finding out that I was sick.
'Damn it, I'm a speedster I couldn't get sick. I couldn't let them see me so weak and hopeless.'
Suddenly I heard a thin beep and knowing it was my com-link,I picked it up.
"Hey KF, do you want to come training or what?" Rob, being enthusiastic like always.
Shit.
"Um…What time is it?" I ask annoyed.
"10.50a.m…AND we will have training in about 10 minutes. Are you okay?…you sound exhausted."
'Shit. I can't let him know that I'm actually sick.'
" I'm fine. I stayed up late to finish my homework."
"Well…if you say so. BC is gonna gave you a big lecture about the important of time if you didn't get here quickly."
"Wow Rob thanks for the support. I'm so delighted" I heard his creepy cackled before the com was off.
I left a heavy sighed as my head started to ache.
'Ugh.. I really need to get a painkiller if I want to survive this.'
I look at the time and widened in horror as it was already 10.55.
I quickly change into my uniform and went to the nearest zeta-beam.
Kid Flash B-03
'Ugh the lights are really killing my head.'
I quickly erased the pain from my face and put up a goofy grin as Rob walked towards me.
"Dude…you were 5 minutes late. You're lucky the training was postponed until 11.30," he said with an annoying smirk.
"Dudeee… you don't know how freak out I am when I was late." I said with obvious relieved. And being the usual Robin he just cackled and disappeared.
"Hey..not funny." I was actually relieved though, it means I can have my sleep a little longer.
My vision started to blur and my headache has gotten worse. So, I sped up to my room and stumble into my bed.
I quickly started to fell asleep just for a brief moment when I heard Robin knocked my door.
"Hey KF, Canary's here right now so we can start training."
I groaned in annoyance as I watched the clock strike 11.20 a.m.
I sighed and take a deep breath before sped up to the training room.
As I was there my vision became blur because of my speed and my stomach were upside down.
'Ugh…note to self, never run if you don't want nausea. '
When my vision was back I gasped at the sight.
"Hey KF, what are you doing standing there? Cat got your tongue?" Rob said sarcastically with that annoying smirk.
I swallowed as the entire league(not exactly the entire league well you know what I mean)standing in front of me.
"Um…What are they doing here?"
"Today your mentor will watch you as you spar to observe and tell your weakness in your fighting skills." BC filled us in.
Shit.
'Uncle Barry will kill me if I don't play my cards right'.
"As I assumed that you were all here we'll start by pairing you with your partner."
Aqualad and Superboy.
Miss Martian and Artemis.
Kid Flash and Robin.
'I cursed quietly as BC finish pairing us. It just had to be him of all people isn't it.'
Aqualad and Superboy both hit with harder blows as they both have super a while Kaldur won and they both shake hands and went to their respective mentor. I smiled at the fact that Superman finally accepted Supey. Okey…Maybe with a little blackmail from The Big Bad Bats. But, hey…it works.
"Begin" I snapped back to reality as BC starting Miss M and Miss Snarky spar.
Artemis sprint forward beginning to attack her side but was blocked by Miss M. 'She was improving a lot.' Looking at Miss M, she improved too. Both of them spar a good fight until Artemis knocked Miss M to the ground.
Miss Martian: Failed
Suddenly my vision began to blur by the sound of the female voice. It really annoyed me because it gave me a massive headache.
I instictly clutched my forehead as it really hurt. My action caught Uncle Barry's attention as he went towards me and place his arm on my shoulder.
"You okay Kid?"I quickly put my usual grinned as I saw his worried expression.
"I'm fine…Never been better since I will kick robin ass today."
"Keep dreaming that KF you can never defeat me in a thousand years." He cackled and went to the middle.
"Are you sure? You don't look so good heck your face was really pale."
"Uncle B… I'm a ginger of course I look paler than anybody else."I whined as I really desperate to end this conversation.
Flash stare at me for a moment before letting out a defeating sigh.
"Fine….but if anything happened, no patrol for a week."
I grinned and went to the middle to spar with Rob. We both went into a fighting stance and I sprinted forward as I heard BC starting the duel. I sprinted forward and try to kick his side when he suddenly flip and push me forward causing me to stumble but i manage to catch myself. He lands a direct hit on my chest after I turn causing me to gasp for air. I quickly darted forward to land a quick blow when Rob fake punched causing me to block my face as he suddenly trip my leg.
Kid Flash: Failed
The nausea came back and the fact that Robin tripped me made it worse. He held his hand and I accepted his help knowing the fact that I may not be able to get up by myself.
"Hey… you okay dude? You were way slower than you use to." Robin starred at me with a slight worried in his eyes.
"Seriously, dude…. How am I supposed to be okay when you give me a huge bump on my head. You practically ruined my handsome face and now all the girls will hate you for ruining the wall-man."
(What do you think I have nausea and terrible headache and you just have to make me fall making my head wanted to explode! So… yeah I'm very okay)
Rob just rolled his eyes and punched my shoulder.
"Owww… do you really need to do that?" I rubbed my shoulder with cleared annoyance as he smirk and disappeared to his mentor. My whole body hurt and the fact that he just punched me just make it worse.
"You doing great today kid," Flash said as he ruffled my hair. The touch made my head spinning and I quickly shoved Flash's hand as if to look cool and not because I almost passed out with the slightest touch.
"Uncle B… it's embarrassing and it make me look like a kid" I whined and faked pouted as he chuckled at my childish behaviour.
Suddenly my stomach felt like it just turn upside down.
"Sorry got to go to the loo." I sped up just in time to empty my contents in the toilet. As I finished I slumped to the wall while taking a shaky breath. The bitter taste still in my mouth as I tried to prevent the darkness took its toll on me. I grabbed the counter to support myself and flushed the toilet. I looked myself in the mirror and noticed that my face became paler and the bagged under my eyes became more obvious.
Shit.
'This can't get any worse can it?'
I tried to walk but stumble to the door when I took my first step.
'Great just great I can't even walk without falling my face first on the floor.' I took a deep breath and tried focusing to at least reach my bed before I passed out in the middle of my room. I was so relieved that I made it to my room's bathroom, or else they will get suspicious. I walked slowly as running will only make my headache worse and I feel like I'm in heaven when I fall to my bed. I barely made it but I pull myself up just in time.
I happily let the darkness took me to the dreamland.
"Hey Robin…have you seen Kid Flash? Last time I saw him he went to the bathroom," Flash approached the Dynamic Duo as they stand in a corner blend in with the shadow.
"I think he went to his room, he passed me when he went there." Robin cackled as Batman clearly annoyed when the speedster interrupt their conversation.
Flash just gave a goofy grin when he received the Bat Glare. Mission annoying the Big Bad Bat accomplished.
"Well… thanks kiddo I'll go see him now." Before Flash could turn, Robin asked him "Do you think he's ok? He's kind a bit off today."
"What do you mean Robin?" Batman asked with his usual monotone voice.
"Well, when we were sparring I realised that he was way slower than he used to be and then when I helped him up, he looks really pale and it look like he was ready to passed out any moment for a brief second but covered it up immediately with his sarcasm." Robin finished explained and Barry let out a sighed.
"Yeah… that's actually the thing I want to talk to him. He said he wanted to go the loo after he frowned while he talked to me."
"…Flash, can speedsters get sick?" Robin asked curious.
"Well yeah, we can get sick but usually it will go away as quickly as it came. Our metabolism is higher than any normal human so that when we get sick our antibody will produce an immune immediately. That's why painkillers and knocked out pills didn't hold us up for long. You have to give a high dose for us to knock us out. That will also include alcohol. I have to drink almost 100 cans of beer and 50 bottles of wines to get drunk." Flash made a horror expression as if he was he was having a terrible flashback.
"Woah… you actually have been drunk before? Why did you drink all of those?" Robin was slightly amused when The Flash finished explaining.
"I had my time…it's really bothered me because I have to sleep on the sofa the whole month and had to face with Iris Glare that day. So, I really don't want to talk about it." Flash just grinned sheepishly and rub his neck obviously embarrassed.
"Anyway… I assumed that Kid Flash will tell us if something wrong happen and it is best if we should give him some space." Batman finished without showing any expression.
"yeah… I think it is the best we could do." Flash finish with a long sighed.
Hey everyone I hope that you like this story and please leave a comment so that I can fix anything that went wrong. This is actually my second fiction and I really looking forward to finish it. I'm really sorry for my grammar as English is NOT my first language. I really love story about Wally getting sick or being abused especially with Barry or Bruce. I just love the hurt/comfort plus angst.
I hope you can also read my first fanfiction: SAVE WALLY
I will update soon.
