[A/N: okay, i didn't think "Blanket" would become that popular, since it has, i'll start this and see how it goes...]
(Robin/Kid Flash) When we least expect it, things can change. For Robin/Richard and Kid Flash/Wally, things stay the same. All of a sudden, Robin is robbed of his only weapon, his best friend. Without backup from Batman on most of his missions, Robin begins to attack his allies. Was it Cadmus? Or someone more sinister?
-Mount Justice-
"Batman, I got here as fast as I could!"
"Black Canary, send out the young. We've got our hands filled to the brim, we need Cadmus off our backs right now."
"Got it."
-Happy Harbor-
Robin jumped off of Aqualad, who was holding down one of the many G-Gnomes that had tried the Justice League.
He landed and threw several explosives all around before he jumped out of the way. The explosion shook the paved roads and Robin laughed. "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! I haven't even started warming up yet!"
"Do not get cocky, Robin," Aqualad said.
"I know, I'm trying to get them to think I am." He grinned and jumped down to land beside the temporary leader. "Since we're five strong, what should we do?"
"Outta the way!"
The two looked behind to see Kid Flash. He was holding a train of G-Gnomes. They jumped aside and the line of G-Gnomes were colliding with dozens of other G-Gnomes.
He did a fist-pump. "Take that!" He noticed Robin give him the Batman-look. "What? Okay, so I kinda ran into them, still, gotta admit, that was funny."
Robin raised his hand. "High-fives all 'round!" He tackled Kid Flash out of the way of a G-Gnome who looked furious. "Then again, do that later." He took off, drawing their attention. "God forsaken, there's so many of them!"
"Just keep them distracted! The Justice League just needs time to get Brainiac away from Cadmus' G-Gnomes!" Aqualad yelled over the sounds of combat.
Robin agreed and saw the Justice League about five feet away from the edge of G-Gnomes fighting off the new, android-like Brainiac. He made a little whistle. "That may be harder than it sounds, leader!"
Aqualad agreed. "We do not have a choice right now!" He made a mace and threw it into his weight. It smacked a few more G-Gnomes away.
Not far away, Superboy was struggling to get the G-Gnomes off of him, with little success. He finally reached over his head and grabbed the one on his back, trying to pull it off. "Does that mean we have to be nice and not hurt them?" he yelled as he yanked it off him.
"No, it does not."
Superboy smirked. "Good, I was holding back just for that." He flew into the air, knocking away the G-Gnomes. "Miss Martian!"
"Help would be nice!" She was struggling to keep the G-Gnomes off her. It was as if they were after just her, because when she threw off one wave, another came from another direction. She squeaked when one of them got her around the neck. "Get it off!"
Superboy, without really thinking things through, charged down to her. He reached out and aimed and-
WHAM!
"Ow!" Robin yelled when the pieces of asphalt hit him in the back and knocked him over a bus stop's bench. He sat up and rubbed his lower back. "Hey, they're retreating."
"Brainiac's retreating, too," Kid Flash commented. "Think we should help clean up?"
The Flash just appeared and smiled. "Help would be nice right 'bout now."
Robin hopped over the bus stop and walked up to his friend. "Well, let's go, the street's not gonna clean itself."
"I know." He smiled at Robin. When nobody was paying attention, he added; "Richard."
Robin elbowed him int he ribs. "Whatever, KF, let's just do what we came here to do."
-Robin-
He was leaning on the sink, his sweat dripping into the basin. He couldn't breath, he felt like his body was starting to collapse in on itself. He felt his heart thud loudly against his chest and he felt the bile coming back up. He turned and put it into the toilet, rather than the sink.
Slowly, he raised himself off the floor. The moon shone across his sweat-soaked face. He could see his face in the reflection of the mirror. He was pale and sweaty and, possibly, sick.
His hand came up to his face and he felt the dark capture him.
He felt the sting of many things embedding into his neck, right into his spine. He fell against the wall, creating the loudest bang he'd ever felt. He thrashed about, knocking over the shelf with all of his towels and objects. He grabbed his head, covering his ears.
With a great inhale, he let out a cry of excruciating agony. His head was pounding, his stomach was churning, his heart was thundering against his ribs, and he was having uncontrollable, loud bangs in his ears, like someone was shooting a rifle beside him. He stumbled into the shower curtain, ripping it down. As he tried to get back up, a hand touched his shoulder.
"Robin?" Batman asked, quiet as ever. He knelt beside Robin.
Robin threw his head back and let out another croak before he turned over and vomited into the tub. He heaved and tried to get a hold of himself. He could feel the pin-prickles of tiny needles coming into his spine again and he threw his hand out.
It made contact with Batman's head, but Robin didn't turn around, more bile was coming up.
Batman decided to knock out Robin with a sedative. When he injected it, Robin's body went limp right away. That made Batman raise an eyebrow. Robin had more resistance than that...
