The mission was a simple one. All they had to do was infiltrate the research base, grab the vital piece to the device that was being out together, and get out without too much trouble. Kid Flash had mentioned that they could get it done within an hour and then they could go back to enjoying their day off.
The team had gathered in the bioship and Miss Martian flew them off to their destination. During their flight, a plan was devised. Aqualad, Robin and Artemis would be lookouts within the building. Kid Flash, Superboy and Zatanna would be lookouts for outside the building. Miss Martian, with her ability to turn invisible would be the one to grab the piece of technology they were after.
From the moment they landed to each getting into position, everything had gone their way. It was the moment that Miss Martian had turned invisible and started making her way towards the device that it had gone wrong. It happened so fast, it was like a blur in their minds.
Miss Martian turned visible as she was thrown harshly towards the nearest wall. Close to the device stood Psimon, a wig and white lab coat at his feet. With the mind link still up, thankfully, Aqualad quickly told the three outside that backup was needed. Psimon was a foe that you didn't take lightly.
The minute the fight started was the minute things only got worst.
As the supposed scientists pulled out weapons, it was clear to the young heroes that this had simply been a trap for them. It was either that or the villains were getting smarter.
Miss Martian was Psimon's man foe in this fight, though that didn't stop Zatanna from sending a useful spell at the telekinetic man. The rest of the team was dealing with both the security guards and the armed scientists.
And then, it happened.
Out of the corner of his eye, Robin saw one of the security guards aiming to attack Zatanna. With quick thinking, Robin pulled out a few batarangs, throwing them at the guard as he moved to step in front of Zatanna. However, at the same moment that Robin had stepped in front of her, Zatanna had been aiming a spell at Psimon. Unable to stop, the spell hit Robin, knocking him into Psimon.
Miss Martian was pulled out her mental state when Robin was knocked into Psimon. Between Zatanna and Miss Martian, both Robin and Psimon had been knocked unconscious.
It wasn't much longer before the rest of the team finished the fight. All the guards and scientist had been tied up courtesy of Kid Flash. Precaution had gone into tying up Psimon, courtesy of Miss Martian. Once they were sure the area was secure, Robin had been carried to the bioship and Aqualad had contacted the League to let them know what happened.

It had been a few hours since the team had arrived back at Mount Justice and Robin still hadn't awoken. When the League had arrived at the scene, Batman had gone right over to his protégée once he heard what had happened. The overprotective Bat hadn't even let Robin out of his sight, let alone out of his reach, since then.
The injuries that Robin had received during the mission were not enough to keep him unconscious for this long. Not even Zatanna's spell was meant to keep someone unconscious. It was a mystery and one that did not sit well with Batman.
When the sixth hour rolled around, Robin showed signs of waking up. With a groan, the young hero opened his eyes only to quickly close them due to the sudden brightness. After a moment, Robin opened his eyes again, allowing then to adjust to the light in the room. Placing a hand on his head, another groan escaped his lips.
"How are you feeling Robin?" That was the first question the Batman wanted to get out of the way.
At the sound of Batman's voice, Robin pulled his hand away from his head. Slowly, the young hero glanced over at his mentor, only to look away and mutter something about dreaming.
Hearing part of the muttering, Batman stood up from his seat, placing a hand on Robin's forehead. The young hero tensed up at the small action, causing the dark knight to frown. "You don't have a fever..." Batman said, as if trying to figure out why Robin would think he was dreaming.
Robin quickly sat up, only to lay back down rather quickly with a groan escaping his lips. "My head hurts…" The young hero groaned out.
"That should be expected from what Zatanna and Miss Martian told me…" Batman replied. At least now he knew that his protégée had a headache. An injury to the head could easily explain why Robin had been unconscious for a while.
"Yup, I'm dreaming." Robin said, this time not muttering.
The frown on Batman's face grew, the only reason he could come up for why Robin though he was dream was a head injury. "Robin, look at me, you are not dreaming, this is real." The dark knight spoke each and every word clearly, making sure that the young hero would hear what he had to say.
When Batman spoke, Robin had given the hero his full attention. Only a second after Batman had finished, did the young hero let out a snort. "If this was real I wouldn't be talking to you and you wouldn't be talking to me. This could only happen in a dream where I am Robin." The boy wonder said, giving a slight nod of his head as he sat up in the bed.
"This is real and you are Robin." Batman responded with a small growl.
Narrowing his eyes just slightly, Robin huffed and looked at his arms. The young hero pinched his skin before giving a slight twist. Letting go of his skin, his eyes widened and he looked back to his mentor. No one ever felt pain in a dream and he felt pain, both with his head and pinching his arm. "…Y-you are r-real… T-this is real… I'm in the presence of Batman…" Robin said, obviously in shock.
Before Batman could even say a word, the team of young heroes entered the infirmary room. All of them seemed to have the same ideas as each asked in their own way how Robin was feeling and how good it was to see Robin awake after what happened.
With wide eyes, the boy wonder looked like a deer caught in headlights. It was obvious to Batman that with all of the younger heroes in the room, Robin was feeling overwhelmed. The team had entered the room all at once and assaulted the boy wonder with questions, though it was out of worry.
"Robin, are you feeling alright?" Zatanna asked once the other quieted down. She still felt bad about her spell hitting the boy wonder and blamed herself for why he had been unconscious for so long.
Slowly Robin shook his head. "No. No, I'm not. I'm also not Robin…"
A look of confusion appeared on each face of the young heroes. Batman simply frowned at the words spoken by his partner.
