"Shh, we wouldn't want to wake him" the Joker said "We just want to kill him." He let out an evil laugh. The other members of the Injustice League gathered closer to Robin's bed, grinning equally as menacingly as the Joker. He pulled out a knife and held it briefly up to the light. It glinted, showing off its perfectly sharpened edge. He was about to lower it onto Robin's neck when he sat up, yelling for Zatanna, as he always did.

"Hush now, Robin. Zatanna won't be coming to save you... nobody will." Robin raised a feeble fist, but the villains just laughed it off. "Look around you, boy. You're in the hospital. No doubt you're too weak to punch even a doll." Robin lunged forward with his fist and caught the Joker square on the chin. He stumbled back a few paces.

"Nice try, but you'll have to do better than that to stop me." Robin suddenly realised he wasn't hiding his identity and made a grab for his sunglasses, but the Joker was quicker. He snapped the sunglasses in two."Not so fast. What do you have to hide now? We all know who you really are." The Joker leaned in close to Robin "It's time to say goodbye, Dick. Grayson." The Joker smiled as he leaned back and began to move the knife closer to Robin's throat.

"Not so fast" Kaldur's voice echoed around the room. Everyone looked towards the door and saw the team stood there, armed and ready for action. The Joker quickly threw the knife in the direction of the team, and everyone jumped to avoid it. Wally sped into the room and made a grab for Robin. He tried to get Robin out of the room, but Count Vertigo slowed him down with his vertigo effect and took Robin from Wally. Robin swung round in Count Vertigo's hold and kicked him in the face, causing him to let go and stumble back, clutching his face. Robin collapsed to the floor, obviously weak. The Joker saw this as his opportunity to kill him. He drew another knife and moved in on Robin. He let out his evil laugh as he raised the knife, ready to bring it down on Robin's neck. An arrow sent the knife flying from his hands, and as he turned to see who had shot the knife, Artemis kicked him in the stomach. She grabbed Robin and pulled him safely out of the room, sitting him against the wall.

"Stay there" she instructed, and Robin looked up at her and nodded. She gasped. Robin quickly realised why she had gasped and covered his eyes with his arm; but it was too late. She had seen him. She shook her head in disbelief and ran back into the room to rejoin the fight against the Injustice League.

The team had almost won already. Artemis half-heartedly shot net arrows at the defeated villains, sneaking quick glances at Robin over her shoulder. Soon the last member of the Injustice League had been brought down, and the team all looked to one another with satisfaction. Artemis was headed for the door when Wally spotted Robin sat outside of it, with no way of protecting his identity. He didn't realise that Artemis had already seen his face, and quickly he grabbed Robin's hoodie from the ground where it had been thrown during the fight and ran it over to him, throwing it over his head. Robin nodded discreetly in gratitude as he wrestled it on and pulled the hood over his head. He then pulled himself into standing position with the aid of the wall, keeping his head low.

"Thanks guys" he mumbled from under the hood.

"We weren't even planning on kicking butt today" Wally said cheerfully. Everyone on the team was grinning, except Artemis. She was looking down at her shoes.

"Hey Artemis, what's wrong?" M'gann asked, concerned that her friend was unhappy.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'll be fine." Artemis replied. She looked up and faked a smile, hoping the others would buy it.

"Fake" Wally coughed under his breath, and Conner elbowed him as a signal to shut up.

"Artemis, do we need to talk?" Robin said, concern and fear edging his voice.

"I think we do" Artemis replied, choking slightly on her words.
