The world was colourless. It was as if someone had bleached the world, leaving black, white and grey. Robin didn't notice; He didn't care. He was too focused on finding the source of the violent screeching echoing everywhere. He urged himself to greater speeds, throwing himself at the door. It shattered, wooden chunks flew everywhere. The boy wonder paused, taking in his surroundings.
He was in a lab type set up. There were about five other people. One was hovering above something strapped to a table. Another shriek was released as the man by the table made a slashing gesture. Robin caught a blur of red and yellow from the corner of his eye. He grabbed a birdarang from his utility belt and threw it, hitting two lab coats and knocking them unconscious. He hurled tiny marbles that released a cloud of smoke.
He disappeared into the cloud with a cackle, daring the others to find him. He sprung out at two of the lab coats. He grabbed ones shoulders and spun himself around, knocking the other unconscious. He then leaped off the other and sent him to dream land with a kick.
Robin slowly approached the lab table. The last lab coat was nowhere in sight. He looked down at the still form and a gasp made its way from the boy wonders mouth. The bright blur of red and yellow he had seen earlier, the only colour he had seen so far, was none other than Kid Flash.
"You imbecile," Robin berated the beaten and bloody form of his bro,
"Why are you here?" He sighed. "Never mind, Kid Idiot. You'll be okay now. I'm here." Kid Flash let out a slow whimper, a sound Robin had never heard him make before.
"Rob, is that you?" Robin almost cried when he heard how weak his friend sounded.
"Shh, I'm here now. Just relax." The little bird undid the straps binding the Speedster to the table. He hugged him gently to his chest, stroking his head and Murmuring sweet nothings to his friend. Suddenly, Kid Flash lurched violently; throwing his arms around the boy wonder protectively.
The red head gave a cry of pain. Robin turned to see a needle sticking out of his friends arm. Slowly, the little bird lowered the other boy to the table, turning to glare at the man who had thrown it. The lab coat's blood chilled as the small boy advanced, a wolfish grin finding its way across his face.
Robin lifted the man up by his collar, pulling back his fist and throwing a punch at the guy. Harder and harder, he pummeled the man's face in. He stopped and stood, panting slightly, grey blood dripping from his black glove. He turned to the table once more, advancing towards it.
"Rob. Are you there?" Kid Flash asked weakly. Robin's heart pounded in his throat.
"I-I'm here." He managed to get out from the lump in his throat.
"I-I don't think I'm a make it, bro." Robin's heart pounded faster. He stooped over the older boy.
"Don't talk like that, your gonna make it. You have to make it." Robin slowly slipped his hand into Kid Flash's, gently squeezing it in comfort. Kid Flash's breathing was very shallow.
"I-I'm sorry, bro. I really am. But… I love you." Kid Flash breathing slowed, then stopped. His hand slipped out of Robins, dropping lifelessly onto the table. Robin shook his head, tears spilling over from his mask.
"No. No, no, no, no, no. You can't go… You can't leave me. Your… You're my only source of color."
