Chapter 4) Broken Man

Wally awoke from his light nap when he heard a soft moan and the gentle rustle of the thick blanket. He watched for a few minutes as the younger boy's eyelids fluttered and awareness started to present itself. He looked fine. Wally sighed in relief when Robin started to become aware of his surroundings, a smile growing on his face.

The smile faltered when a confused look crossed his friend's face. He leaned over and turned on the bedside lamp. He lightly shook the younger's arm.

"Robin? You awake, buddy?" Wally withheld a laugh as he pulled away from the ginger.

Wally's smile fell completely when Robin bolted upright in bed a few moments later. Blue eyes franticly searched throughout the room. No recognition could be seen in his eyes. Wally grabbed Robin's upper arm and leaned into the younger's side before speaking in a calming voice.

"Hey, calm down. You're fine. You're safe in the mountain's infirmary. Don't struggle against me Rob. You're okay."

Robin's breathing quickened and his pulse accelerated beneath Wally's fingers. Robin started struggling against Wally's hold on him. Wally grabbed his other arm and turned the boy to face him. He searched Robin's eyes. His eyes darted around everywhere, noticing nothing. He noticed the clouded glaze they held and yelled for Batman at once.

The younger boy started struggling more. He feared for his friend's safety and got up on the bed with him. He straddled the boy's waist and pinned him to the bed. When Robin sensed his presence he started trashing his feet, trying to free them from the blankets confinement. After getting kneed in the stomach for the fifth time, Wally was starting to get pissed. He held Robin's arms closer to the mattress, forcing the boy to limit his movements. As soon as the blankets were free of the bed, he pinned the boy's feet with his own and successfully stopped their evil kneeing.

When Robin realized his imprisoned lower appendages, his upper body started to up their attacks on Wally. The boy's breathing and pulse increased again. Wally saw an unfamiliar expression cross his friend's face.

Nothing could prepare him for what happened next. Never in all the years had he known the young dare devil had that crossed his face. Not when he had broken bones. Not even when he had accidently seen the boy under the influence of fear toxin. Nothing had ever happened where this expression crossed the boy's face. He screamed. Not a blood-curdling one, or one of pain. This one was of pure fear and dread of what could happen to him.

Seconds after the scream started Wally heard Batman rush into the room. With one of his gloved hands he forced the boy flat onto the bed and stuck him with a needle. Robin's eyes glazed more and the screaming dulled to nothing as the boy lost consciousness. Batman pulled away from his partner after he was sure the he was out cold. Wally let go of his arms and quickly got off of the boy after getting a glare from the bat.

"What did you stick him with?" Wally questioned, not really knowing if he wanted to know the answer or not. Robin looked eerily calm. Batman disposed of the syringe in the hazardous waste trash can before responding.

"It's a simple sedative that should last until his hearing at least can right itself." Batman turned to leave when his hand rested on the door Wally called out.

"Wait, this is my fault. I don't know how much help I can be, but please . . . let me make this up to him. I got to at least try to fix this. Please, let me be in charge of Robin." Wally's voice trembled in fear. Batman said nothing and left the room. Wally's whole demeanor sagged in both relief and disappointment.

"Stupid Wally, why would Bats let you watch his partner when you're the one who is responsible for the injuries in the first place? Stupid." Wally continued to degrade himself as he watched to younger sleep again.

Batman stood outside the door listening to Wally talk to himself for a few minutes before leaving. He could have the idiot ginger watch Dick, but that would require him to know their civilian identities and that was unacceptable. He stopped outside of Robin's room. Why did Wally know the code to his ward's room? He didn't remember giving Dick permission to give him the pass code. His eyes narrowed. How much of the truth had Dick secretly disclosed to the ginger? Maybe having a second set of eyes on him wouldn't hurt. Dick did have a tendency to vanish from Alfred and his sights without warning and doing things that are dangerous. Had the new chandelier arrived yet? Batman sighed, that boy was determined to destroy every single one in the mansion. If he really wanted to swing from the ceiling there were bars in the gym. Unfortunately Dick only seemed to have eyes for the hanging lights. Batman shook his head. Dick was going to be the death of him one way or another.

"I'm going to have to have a talk with Alfred when I get home," he thought. He made his way to the Zeta beams on his way home. He knew that it would be hours before any trace of consciousness would grace his ward. He had time to make the proper preparations.
