"You're looking a bit better than the last time I saw you" Babs smiled as she saw her friend walking through the school gates. It had been nearly a month since the headaches had started and this was his first day back to school since the incident in English.

"Yeh, these new pills seem to be making them a little more bearable. And they seem to work well with the Aspirin so all in all, Bruce let me come back to school" Dick did seem a lot happier. Babs could see that he was still moving around a bit more carefully as his head was still tender, but at least he was moving around in the day light and not bed bound in his darkened room.

"So what's been going on while I've been away?"

"Not much to be honest. Betty's been chasing after one of the seniors again, some of the freshmen have started wearing Batman capes to school in protest against them not being allowed to Spring Formal…oh and Artemis has work out that you're Robin"

"She what?!" Dick stopped and stared at the red head "How?"

"Well I was talking to her the other day as BG, and she was saying how she found it strange that not only was Robin fainting and suffering from chronic headaches but her friend Dick Grayson from school was as well….and then it kind of…clicked" he stared at her in disbelief.

"So she doesn't know your identity?"
"No"

"Just mine?" Babs nodded and then bit her lip

"And she kind of has an idea about B's as well" Dick could feel his headache starting again, the stress of this new found information making his heart beat faster.

"He's going to kill me. You do realise this right" Babs could see he was freaking out so she pulled him aside into a quiet corner and sat him down.

"No he's not. This is hardly your fault. You're not well, it's not like you could help it!" Dick stood up and started pacing.

"What am I going to do?" Babs watched him not sure how to calm him down, how to reassure him that everything was going to be ok.

"Maybe Bruce won't even find out, she's your friend, it's not like she's going to tell anyone" he laughed, but it wasn't his usual (kinda creepy) cackle. This laugh held no humour.

"Not going to find out" he brought his face close to hers "He's the god damn Batman of course he's going to find out!"

"Hey Bird Boy" Dick actually yelped and jumped back from the voice that was behind him "Wo calm down I didn't mean to scare you" said Artemis, she tilted her head to the side to take the sight of her friend in.

"You're really aren't all together at the moment are you. How you feeling, you gave us quite a scare the other day" Dick laughed nervously

"Well you know, anything to get out of English"

"That's not what I meant and you know it" Dick groaned, there was no way of getting around this one.

"Artemis" he whined

"Chill Dick, it's not like I'm going to blab. I'll kick your ass for not telling me when you're feeling better" she winked at him "Speaking of which, when are you planning on dropping by?"

"Tonight, Bruce has a meeting with the top guns. So I get to chill with you guys"

"Alright I'll see you later".

She walked away from them and Babs looked over her friend, he had paled in the moments before Artemis' arrival, maybe stress was something that caused the headaches.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeh, it's not too bad, I'm not going to pass out don't worry" but she was still concerned, he was frowning and had his fingers pressing on the bridge of his nose.

"Maybe you should go and see the nurse, maybe if you take some pain killers before it gets too bad they might actually help" he nodded and let her lead him to the nurses office.

"Ah Mr Grayson, I see you're back. What can I do for you?"

"He needs paracetamol for his head ache" said Babs since Dick seemed to be pretty out of it again, the nurse nodded and headed over to her cabinet.
"Have you taken any other pain killers today?" she asked and Babs had to nudge Dick in the arm to get him to pay attention.

"Um yeh, this morning, but it was nearly 5 hours ago" the nurse nodded again

"I'm afraid I've only got ibuprofen" she handed him the pills and he took them gratefully.

"Remember to come back if your headache worsens" she looked at the young boy over her glasses, she had heard all about his fainting spell from the other students. Feeling faint in class was now known as pulling a Dick Grayson.

oOoOoOoOoOo

As the two teens started walking back to class Dick stopped.

"What's wrong?" asked Babs

"I don't feel right" he said, Babs frowned, the drugs should have kicked in, he should be feeling better not worse.

"Is it your head?" he shook his head and winced. His breathing had started to become rapid.

"Babs can you get internet on your phone?" she nodded "Can you….search…mixing aspirin with….ibuprofen" he was finding it hard to speak and he slouched down on the ground as she pulled her phone out and started typing.

"It says the if you've had more than 75mg of aspirin in a day then it advises you against taking ibuprofen due to a risk of them reacting badly and overdosing" he paled even more and started shaking.

"I had…aspirin..this..morning"

"But that was nearly 5 hours ago, how much did you take? It says under 75 mg you should be fine" when he looked up at her she knew it was bad, Dick very rarely looked scared but right now he looked like he was on the verge of tears but then he closed his eyes like he was going to sleep.

"Dick!" Babs shot forward and took hold of his shoulders "You need to tell me, how much did you have this morning!"

His eyes opened slightly but his head was rolling as though he was really dizzy "600mg" he breathed.

"I'm calling an ambulance!"

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

Bruce stared intently at his coffee as he pretended to listen to Clark ramble on about what he was going to do about Louis and how could he ever accept Connor as his son. It was the same rambles they had every Thursday when they had coffee in the small coffee shop just outside of Gotham.

They were currently at the part about how maybe he should tell Louis about his secret identity, it was something that was often coming up and Bruce had learnt to just let the Boy Scouts train of thought run to the end of its course.

After a while he managed the tune out the aliens' voice and started looking through his emails on his i-phone. That's when the text came through.

"Are you even listening to me?" Bruce looked up to see the other man had stopped talking without him noticing and was now staring at him.

"Sorry Clark, Alfred just text me, I've got to ring him, something's going on at home" he stood and left the booth.

"Alfred what's wrong?" he said down the phone when he reached the outdoors

"I'm glad I reached you so quickly Master Bruce. Master Dick has been taken to the hospital by an ambulance, according to Miss Gordon he got his drugs mixed up and has over dosed".

"He is alright?"

"I've spoken with the doctor briefly; they've given him some counter drugs and are monitoring him. But they would not go into any more details since I am not his guardian".

"I'll be right there"

"Something wrong?" Bruce turned to see Clark was standing next to him "You sounded distressed"

"Dick's in the hospital" he said "Alfred said something about him taking a wrong mix of drugs"

"Which hospital?" said Clark frowning.

"Gotham Royal"

"Come on, I'll get you there faster than a car".

oOoOoOoOoOo

Black Canary was pacing around the cave. Young Justice watched her with concerned faces, they had been told a few hours ago by Superman that Robin was in hospital but they hadn't heard any news since then.

"I'm sure he's fine, Bats would have said if it was serious" said Green Arrow

"Yeh cause that's so like Batman" they all glared at Red Arrow, in all honestly it was unnerving having him in the cave at all, he was only ever here when something serious was going down.

"Recognising Batman 01, recognising Robin B-01"

Everyone jumped up at the announcement to see Batman stride in with Robin behind him looking slightly less sure about himself.

"Robin are you alright?" said Kid Flash racing over, but Batman steered his ward away from the speeder and to the sofa when the boy sat.

"He's fine" said Batman then turned to Robin "Stay here, go to sleep and no funny business" Robin nodded.

Batman then turned to face Aqualad "Make sure he gets some sleep".

Then he turned and led the other heroes out of the room.

Young Justice crowded round their youngest member all talking at once.

"Guys!" said Robin, sounding exasperated "I really don't want to talk about it" the team understood and left him to get some sleep but Artemis approached once she was sure the others wouldn't over hear.

"Babs told me what happened. Are you sure you're alright?" Robin nodded but then shook his head and even though he wore sunglasses, Artemis could tell he was close to tears.

"I don't know what's happening to me. I'm meant to be Robin the Boy Wonder but I almost kill myself by taking 2 incompatible drugs. Since when am I that stupid and weak?"

"That was hardly your fault, the nurse should have known to ask more question, especially since she knew you were already sick" she could tell this fact hadn't comforted him and he looked exhausted. So she stayed quiet and instead did something that she will admit was completely out of character for her. Taking hold of Robin's shoulders she pulled him down and let him fall asleep on her lap.

oOoOoOoOoOo

"I think we need to talk about the elephant in the room Batman" everyone nodded at Diana's comment.

"And what would that be?" asked the Dark Knight, though he already knew what they were referring too.

"What happening with Dick?" Batman sighed

"The overdoes wasn't too severe, but they were concerned about his level of consciousness. The overdose set off another migraine and since then he's been having trouble staying awake."

"What does that mean?" asked Flash

"They're sending him for brain scans; they're worried he might have a tumour".
