Kid Flash scooped the smaller boy up bridal style. This was the first time he carried anyone while running, and transporting someone injured made it harder. Kid didn't want to go fast and hurt Robin.
Kid Flash avoided every obstacle on his way to find a safe place to take Robin. He knew he had to stay ground level since he did not want to chance dropping Robin while running up a building. Robin was starting to struggle in Kid's arms.
"Dude stop or you'll get hurt," Wally said going into what he thought was an abandoned building. The speedster stopped and gently lowered Robin to the floor while keeping the boy's head supported, by using the crook of his elbow to cradle it. That was when Wally noticed Robin's mask was torn. The white part of the mask that kept his eyes hidden was ripped. When Robin opened his eyes, he could see the color of them. Would that really help is secret identity? Robing knew who he was; it was only fair he knew too. Wally lifted the mask from Robin's face. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't resist. Maybe he should put it back on…how'd it stay on anyway?
Robin moaned, his eyes began to shift and then flickered open slowly showing blue eyes. He looked up to see he was not in the bank. He started to panic and tried to fight Kid.
"Robin! You're okay!" Kid said, "you scared me! What happen back there? You froze…are you okay?"
Robin looked around assessing the situation, avoiding Kid's questions. The first thing he noticed was his lack of mask. Slowly he reached his hand up to touch his face where his signature black mask would usually sit.
"My mask…what happened…who saw me?" Robin said panicked. He was in Gotham and something finding out who he was, could make people figure out Batman's secret.
"Only me," Wally said gently trying to calm Robin, "Don't worry. Your mask was falling off your face," he showed Robin the remains of the black mask. "So I took it off, so it would not fall off when if I had to run with you again."
Robin nodded, showing he understood what Kid said then he went to slip the mask into his utility belt, but missed and it fell onto the ground beside him. "ow…" the Boy Wonder rubbed his head, it hurt to do so.
"Yeah you might not want to do that," Kid said, "you whacked your head pretty hard. I hope you don't mind, but I'm using your cape to help stop the bleeding."
"That's fine…" Robin said as he touched the back of his head again, this time trying to adjust his cape to feel the cut. Then he tried looking around again, "Where are we?" He asked hoping Kid noticed where they went.
"Dunno some abandoned building," Kid said casually, "looks like it used to be a joke shop-"
Robin shot up, only to feel lightheaded and fall back into Wally's arms.
"Dude, not a good-" Kid said trying to hold a struggling Robin back.
"Get us out!" Robin said still trying to move on his own. He also tried to grab his broken mask, but had no luck since it was gone from his belt.
"Whoa, whoa, okay, okay…" Kid Flash said quickly picking Robin back up again, before the younger boy would protest. Kid Flash raced off. He could tell Robin was really bothered by this place. "Where should we go?"
"Anywhere….just fast!" Robin said trying to operate the computer on his arm, only to find it broken. 'Damn' he cursed mentally closing his eyes. He was getting dizzy again.
"Where'd they go?" Flash asked Batman after securing the bank and catching the would be robbers.
"I can't trace Robin," Batman said darkly, "the blast must have broken his GPS tracker."
"Where would he go?" Flash asked.
"Let's start with the roof we left them on," Batman said using his grappling hook to fly away as Flash ran over the rooftop they left their sidekicks. Unfortunately for the scarlet speedster and the Dark Night, Wally didn't think that way.
Once the two heroes arrived they saw no sign of the young protégés.
"Robin could be unconscious…." Batman said his voice trailed a little, "what do you think Wally would do?"
"In a strange city he doesn't know, while carrying Robin?" Flash paused for a moment, "not a clue, " he sighed, "I knew this was a bad idea."
"Bad idea or not," Batman said, "it will not help the boys now. Let's fan out and look for them." With that he left even more the speedster. What Barry did know was the cape crusader was mentally cursing his idea that got them into this situation.
"Rob…we need a place to go…I'm running low on fuel…" Kid Flash said panting. Right now they were in an ally it was the closest place he could find.
Robin opened one eye. He was growing weaker form the loss of blood. "Wayne Manor…" he mumbled
"Wait….like BRUCE Wayne?" Kid asked. Robin nodded. It was not hard for Wally to find Wayne Manor. There were not many stately Manors in Gotham.
Wally looked around. Now what? Front door? Why would Robin pick here? He really didn't care why Robin picked this place. He just needed to re-fuel. Things would be way worse if he and Robin were passed out on the side of a road. Wally looked down to see Robin's eyes close, "Robin?" he said hoping for answer, but none came. Kid pulled his own mask off his face and made his way to the front door.
Once at the front door Wally knocked awkwardly while still holding Robin.
"Oh blast," Alfred said while needlessly dusting a vase, "who could that be at this hour?" He placed his feather duster down and went to answer the door. Hoping the late night guest would be easily swayed to leave.
"Good Evening-" Alfred said opening the door, but stopped.
"Help… he's heavy…." Wally said weakly. He felt his knees buckle.
"Master Dick," the butler said taking the young ward from the arms of the young boy he didn't quite know. "Come in," he invited the boy in as he turned inside.
"His name is Dick?" Wally mumbled following Alfred to a large room that had an over sized sectional couch and TV, amongst other things.
Alfred laid Dick down. He removed the cape from the back of his head.
Then checked the boy over for any other injuries. He found some other cuts, scrapes, and bruises, but nothing was as bad as the injury to the back of his head. While checking over Dick he looked over at the young speedster, he noticed the lightning bolt symbol on the boy's chest, that's when he realized it.
"Mr. West," Alfred said addressing a confused Wally. "Stay with him for a moment while I get the first aid kit."
"Okay…" Wally said nervously pacing back and forth. He had to clue what was going on. He was at a billionaire's mansion. Apparently Robin…Dick…lived here. He had a butler!
When Alfred was out of earshot he pulled his phone from his pocket. He dialed the number he knew too well.
"Master Bruce," Alfred greeted before billionaire could speak, "Are you alright?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"I have Master Dick here-"
"He's at the manor?" Bruce said.
"Yes sir, with young Mr. Allen. I need to-"
"We will be right there!" Bruce said hanging up the phone. He turned to Flash, "he went home."
Alfred took the first aid kit from the bathroom and headed back to the two teen super heroes.
"Mr. West do you need anything?" Alfred asked when he came back, "are you injured as well?"
"Me? I'm fine…just need…hungry…" Wally never stopped moving, despite not feeling well himself.
While cleaning the wound on Dick's head, Alfred directed Wally to the kitchen.
"Oh Master Dick you certainly take after Master Bruce now don't you?" Alfred said shaking his head.
Wally made his way to the large kitchen and opened the door to find a very well stocked with anything you could imagine and them some. If his new friend hadn't been badly hurt he would have been more excited, but Wally still could not contain the smile on his face as he picked out what he wanted to eat.
Bruce and Barry quickly arrived at the manor. Once inside Bruce raced to find Dick. When he found him be was bandaged up and tucked in under a blanket while Alfred was cleaning up blooded clothes and other supplies.
"Dick," Bruce said slipping his cowl off and kneeling down next to his young ward.
