Young Justice
Never thought
Soon I realized how late it had gotten. The bioship was only half done with repairs and I could already tell that it was around midnight if not later. Connor had found us food which we ate and saved some for Wally we had woke him up but the smell of it made him sick.
"This isn't good, he won't eat and he's basically just puking up nothing." I exclaimed rubbing Wally's back to help calm him down a little more.
"I'm…fine." He had to space his words out because he was gasping for breath moving.
"Here I have an I.V. drip for him." Robin put the tube into his vein on his arm causing him to groan. "It will help him sleep."
Kid flash was asleep within minutes as he lay there by the fire I couldn't help but stare. It's been about three months since I joined the team and Wally had grown on me. He was a few inches taller than he was a filled out a little more in the shoulders giving him a more manly appearance, but he still acted like a kid most the time.
"Are you sure the toxins will not kill him." Kaldur asked causing me to look towards him from where I was absent mindedly stroking Wally's his hair.
"Each of her knives are made for a normal human and three would kill a normal human one would only slow them down long enough to get away, however Wally's body temperature is much higher so the toxins should burn right out of his system as if her were a normal human and only had one dose. Of course that could still take two or three days."
We all sat silently taking in the information. My father made me take a class on different poisons, antidotes, sedatives anything that could slow or kill an enemy of course I never used them. Much.
"He's sweating that's a good sign." Robin said looking at his best friend from across the fire.
Taking a new piece of Boy wonders cape I put water on it and wiped at Wally's face cleaning off the sweat and dirt that was there. His breathing was labored and his eyebrows squeezed together every now and again in what my guess was pain.
"I don't understand. Cheshire is your sister why throw those knives knowing they would kill." Kaldur asked looking over at me.
"Simple she saw how Kid idiot here tried to protect us all when we were in trouble, I was the closest to him she knew he was faster than the knives." I looked at him when he shifted slightly groaning. "She also knows how speedsters work she's smart in that way observant, she really they were meant for him, to slow him down."
Everyone eventually went into the bioship leaving Wally and I outside only because the fire would hurt the bioship and Wally needed it to help heat his body. He coughed in my lap blood dripping out of his mouth the poison was taking effect. He groaned again.
"Baywatch; you okay?" I asked softly running my fingers through his hair again.
"I feel like I'm burning." He whispered his face making a grimace his eyes opening to look up at me as he placed his hand on his stomach "I'm also starving." His stomach gurgled in response.
"Do you have anything in your compartments to eat?" I immediately opened the compartment on his wrist glad to see a few snacks he always has with him. "Here I'll break pieces so you can ear."
He nodded his head and then I feed him pieces of the bar until he said he couldn't eat anymore when there was only half the bar left.
"I'm still hungry but if I eat more now I think I'll be sick again." His face turned pale at the thought. "Damn it hurts."
"The poison gives you a fever your body is fighting it though causing you to feel like you're on fire. The feeling of the pain is probably what's making you sick."
"Thanks again beautiful." He smirked at me.
"Ye-yeah no problem, anytime Kid flirt." I told him smiling back blushing. I wiped his face again with the water hoping to distract myself and him with the action. When I looked back he seemed to be asleep so I started running my fingers through his hair again.
"That feels nice, makes me sleepy" he trailed off into a yawn then frowned when I'm sure the deep breath caused him pain.
"You should be fine in the latest three days."
He whispered something but I couldn't hear him so I leaned closer when he said it again I leaned in again only to be shocked when he lifted his face to meet mine, his lips where soft and gentle on mine. They radiated warmth and when he reached his hand up to intertwine it with my hair I practically melted into him at the feeling.
"I've been waiting to do that." He lay back down on my lap laughing slightly at my shocked face.
"But you hate me." I whispered back running my fingers through his hair again smiling despite myself my hair was flipped over my shoulder and he was playing with the ends of it.
"No I just like seeing you fired up. You're my Spitfire." He whispered.
I made a confused face but he closed his eyes "Go to sleep Kid Kisser." He smiled at my new name and I pecked his lips quickly and watched him sleep until I feel asleep to my head lying on his chest my back hunched over.
