When Wally woke it was dark, his head was throbbing where he assumed it had connected with the pavement and something… someone was laying on his stomach. Groaning, he started to push himself up into a sitting position, glancing down at Artemis. Frowning, he shook her shoulder, "Hey, wake up."
Artemis gave an annoyed and slightly pained moan that frankly he didn't blame her for, wrinkling up her nose as she blinked up at him. After a second her brain seemed to register what her eyes were seeing and she scrambled out of his lap, "What the hell, Wally!"
"What the hell, Wally? You were the one cuddling up to me!" He shot back, jumping to his feet, a move he immediately regretted as his head throbbed.
"How long have we been laying here?" She wondered aloud, ignoring him in favor of examining their surroundings. "It's dark."
"Can't be that long, my head hasn't healed yet." He pointed out, rubbing the offending spot, "Where are Rob and Miss M?"
Frowning, Artemis activated her coms link, "Artemis to Robin, come in. I'm just getting static, you?"
He checked his own coms, getting nothing but crackling in return, "Same. What is going on?"
"That girl!" Artemis remembered, "She was using magic! Maybe she took them or… or maybe she sent us somewhere?"
"What, like two hours in the future? Real scary." He scoffed dismissively.
"I don't know, maybe?" She rolled her eyes, giving the damp alley a once over. "Hey, when was the last time it rained?"
Wally thought for a minute, "Uh, it's been, like, a week, why?"
"The ground is wet."
"Great, so it rained while we were out. Good job, Batman."
"We're dry."
He paused, she was right, beyond the damp patches where his uniform had touched the ground, his clothes and hair were dry. He was about to comment when a red and black shadow caught his eye moving across the rooftop above.
"Robin!" He announced, zipping up to the roof, ignoring Artemis' cries of "wait for me", and cut the younger boy off, "Hey, Rob, what happened? Did you catch the…"
He trailed off, taking in the boy in front of him. He was wearing a Robin costume, alright, but with a pretty serious looking design update and the face underneath was definitely not Dick Grayson. Behind him, Artemis pulled herself up onto the roof, scowling, "Thanks for waiting for me, Kid Jerk… whoa."
The boy in the Robin suit had looked shocked to see Wally, but with the addition of Artemis, he now looked downright confused. "What the hell…"
"You can say that again!" Artemis crossed her arms, "Who the heck are you?"
"Artemis, it's Robin. I thought you retired that costume after…" The boy side eyed Wally and something seemed to dawn on him. He tapped his coms set, "Robin to Miss Martian, … Hey, Miss Martian, you are not going to believe who I just found in Happy Harbour."
