A.N. Sorry to of kept you all waiting for an update but I have a good reason. I have been sick with food poisoning (thanks to my sisters cooking) for almost all of winter vacation. Let me tell you it is like your own body is torturing you with bloating, vomiting (from both ends) stomach cramps, nausea, something I wouldn't wish on anyone. Sorry to rant off there for a while. Anywho, I hope you enjoy the chapter.
It hurts daddy ch10
Mount Justice
It's been three days since Robin came back to stay at Mount Justice. Three days since he's last been awake, and everyone was worried. The first day he didn't wake up, they chalked it up to both the mental and physical exhaustion the poor boy must have went through from escaping the hospital and just getting to the cave.
The second day when Black Canary came in to try to get him to eat some soup he didn't stir. So she left the bowl by his bed for him to eat when he did wake up, but when she Wally came in hours later and the food was untouched, he called in the others. They all thought that maybe Robin just didn't have an appetite and that he was still tired.
The third day came and that's when the reality of something being wrong hit them. After watching the surveillance videos of the infirmary, they discovered in the whole of Robin being there, he only woke up once the second night for a few minutes when Batman came to check on Robin.
The video showed the older man enter the room in silence and a stealth that contrasted with his large frame. He walked up to the boy's bed. His arm came out from beneath his cape, something in his hand. He gently placed the object right next to the boys head, revealing it to be an old stuffed elephant that looked worn but well loved. This made the boy in the bed to stir slightly and sleepily opened his eyelids.
Upon seeing the old stuffed friend a lazy smile crossed his face and he reached for the elephant sighing "Peanut", bringing it close to his chest and blinkingly looked up. He smiled at the looming figure with glassy eyes. Batman gave a euphoric smile back. A small smile, but a smile none the less and brought his hand up to cares the cheek of the boy who was struggling to keep his eye lids from closing.
"Are you an angel?" yawned the little bird in awed wonder, before finally surrendered to the exhaustion and slept again. "He doesn't recognize Batman" exclaimed Aqualad in disbelief. This shocked the team as they watched Batman's hurt expression before the man took the covers and tenderly tucked it around the slumbering boy.
"This isn't right" mumbled Wally "Something is defiantly wrong. We have to do something." He determined to the team. Everyone looked to each other and in silence all agreed that something had to be done indeed. But what?
A.N. Short but sweet. Don't worry I'll make my next chapter longer and this time I'll have the team go into Robin's head to figure out how to bring their baby bird back.
