Uh... I think thats it... so here's chapter 9... btw, sorry the previous chapter was a bit confusing. I didn't bother checking it over cuz I was tired :P

FINAL CHAPTER:

His head was pounding, his arm killed, and he hurt all over. The first question that ran though his head was 'what the heck happened?'.

For a few seconds, he slowly recalled everything. He remembered how his friends and Batman had arrived at the old Arkham, to save him. Did they? The Team had been in that cage thing, and he had seen Batman get shot, which made no sense at all. His suit was bulletproof!

Robin forced his eyes opened, and then almost closed them again when the first thing he saw was a light right above his head. The first person he saw was a doctor at the end of the bed.

"It's good to see that you woke up." He said when he noticed he was awake, and Robin looked around. He was in a hospital. Duh...

Thank God...

"What... happened?" he asked. He sounded weak, in his opinion.

"You've been missing for nearly a year, and Batman found you in the old abandoned Arkham Asylum with the Joker." the doctor told him. "How are you feeling?"

"Like I got hit by a truck and then fell into an electric fence." Robin said after a minute, and the doctor cocked an eyebrow.

"That's descriptive. You have no serious injuries, and your ankle will take about 2 weeks to heal, and your arm should take 6." the doctor told him. "I'm Dr. Corey, by the way."

"Hey, Dr. Corey. How long do I have to be here?"

"A week at least." He told him. "Bruce and two of your friends are here-"

Robin was instantly alert. "What! Are they hurt?"

"Richard, they are all fine." he told him. "They just all brought you here. I have to go check on some other patients, so I'll see if your friends would like to come in."

Robin watched him leave, and then looked at the ceiling.

Millions of questions raced through his head, like where was the Joker and Harley?

He looked up to see Bruce, with Wally and Roy standing behind him. "Hey-" He could barely speak before Wally rushed over to him, smiling like an idiot.

"Dick! How're you feeling?" his best friend asked, and he grinned.

"Not very asterous, but alright." he said, and Bruce walked over to the other side of the bed and sat in one of the chairs. Roy walked in and stood at the end of the bed.

"Bruce... what happened to the Joker? And Harley?"Robin then asked his mentor.

"The Joker is back in Arkham-"

"He's going to break out by next week."

"-and he's under constant surveillance."

"I'll give it 2 months." Robin said. "Did anyone get hurt?"

Bruce shook his head. "Everyone's fine."

Relieved, he moved on to his next question. "Is it true you stopped-?" his voice trailed off, and then he waited for an answer.

He nodded. "Here isn't the place to talk about it. Later, alright?"

Robin nodded, just as the doctor returned.

"Any questions?" Dr. Corey asked Bruce right away.

"How long does he have to stay here, and how long until the poison's out of his system?" he asked.

"A week, and-"

"Poison? What poison?" Robin cut in, confused.

"We think it was made by the Joker. It doesn't look like it was made to kill." he assured him. "Just causes pain. It should be out of your system in about 12-18 hours. We're unsure about how much pain, but hopefully you'll be asleep."

"Can't you give him a pain killer or something?" Roy asked, now sitting on a chair in a corner.

"Normally I would, but we have no idea if it would be safe right now." Dr. Corey told him, and everyone understood. Knowing the Joker, a painkiller could either cause more pain or kill him.

"You're going to be fine." He said. "Someone will check in on you in a few hours. I recommend you all leave soon so Richard can get some sleep. He needs it." he then told them before leaving.

"He's right... I think you should get home, Wally; it's about 1 in the morning." Bruce said to the speedster. Wally looked at the clock in disbelief. He thought it would be closer to 5:00 AM.

"Alright... I'll be back tomorrow, kay?" Wally said, already starting towards the door.

"Cya." was all Robin could say before his best friend disappeared. About 30 minutes later, Roy left too, leaving only Bruce and his ward.

The room was quiet, except for the people walking around outside.

"Di-" Bruce was about to say something when he noticed that he was asleep. He then looked over to the door as a nurse entered the room.

"Er... will you tell him I'll be back as soon as I can?" Bruce asked her, and she nodded, before he walked out of the room and headed back to his manor.

1 week later... cuz I'm 2 lazy to really write anything for the week... the only interesting days would be Monday and Wednesday :P The JL know Robin/Dick is alive, and they had visited him in the hospital on Tuesday :)

"Recognized, Batman 02... Robin B01"

"Robin!" M'gann, surprisingly, was there before Wally. "You're alright!" she said, hugging the 14-year-old.

"Hey, Miss M!" he said, as the rest of the team, except Superboy, walked into the room, and Megan stepped away.

"Hey, Rob... we didn't think Batman would let you come for at least a few weeks." Wally said, eating some chips. He looked at his friend, and realized he was using crutches. He never thought he'd see the Boy Wonder using those.

"I was surprised too." Robin said, grinning at his mentor.

Surprisingly, Batman returned a smill smile back. It was odd enough to see Bruce Wayne smile, and since he was in his Batman outfit, it was just... weird.

"Well, I know you, and you would probably find a way to get here anyways." he pointed out.

"True."

"It is good to see you again." Kaldur said, just as a burning smell filled the air. Robin turned to M'gann.

"Are you making something that's burning?."

She gasped. "My brownies!" she exclaimed, before floating towards the kitchen.

"She's great with cookies... now all she has to do is learn how to not burn anything else." Artemis said.

"She'll figure it out.. where's Superboy?"

"Watching the TV." Wally said, and when Robin looked over, he could see the 'NO SIGNAL' on the TV, and grinned.

"Hasen't anyone showed him how to turn it on by now?"

"Nope... so, how long until you can start going on missions again?" Wally asked, and Robin's smile disappeared.

"Not sure. I have to wait a month before I can start training again, and then it should take another month or two until I'm ready to do missions again." He told him. It was obvious he missed training, and he couldn't wait to start it up again.

"Oh... sorry about your arm, by the way."

"Um, why?"

"I'm the one who caused the table to crash over."

"My arm is kinda my fault, too." Robin pointed out.

"Thats's-" he was cut off when Superman suddenly appeared on the holographic screen thing. (I don't feel like using proper names right now... 11:43 at night, I'm lucky I'm getting this done)

"Batman?" He asked, looking surprised. "I didn't think you would be here."

"I thought Robin might have wanted to see his friends."

"We still don't really know what happend-"

"I'll come up to the Watchtower and explain everything." he told Superman, before turning to Robin. "Stay here, I'll be back soon." he said, and just as he left, Superman disappeared.

"Well... wanna play a video game or something?" Wally asked, and Robin sighed.

"I don't think we can..." he said, and Wally remembered his arm.

"I've played video games with a broken arm before." he pointed out.

"That's not why... it's because I bet you anything they're gonna pop up again with a mission any minute now."

"Okay, no video games. What-" he was cut off again as Batman appeared on the screen.

"Told you." Robin said.

"Robin, since they're about to go on a mission, I want you to go back home." Bats told him.

"What? Why can't I wait here?" Robin asked, and Batman glared at him... not a glare he gave the others that was 'do-what-i-say-or-else', more like a 'just-go-so-I-won't-have-to-worry'.

Robin got the message, and rolled his eyes before he left.

(Idk what to do for a mission, so... I was just gonna have him leave as he was explaining it :P)

4 Months Later

Robin's Ankle, arm, and all bruises and infected cuts were healed for about 3 months now. Things were slowly working their way back to normal.

Robin trained every day, trying to re-build up the strength he lost from being tied to the stupid table in Arkham. After 2 months, he could do almost all the same things he used to do... it actually pleased him when he got frustrated and punched a hole in the wall in the training wall like he had the previous year. Something he couldn't do the last month when he had gotten angry.

"Hey, Bruce?" He called from the railing on the second floor down to his 'father' as he was about to enter the Batcave.

"What is it?"

"When can I re-join The Team?" he asked.

Bruce hesitated. "Dick, I'm not sure if-"

"Come on! I'm just as good as I was before! Can I please go back? I miss hanging out with them! And I haven't even seen them in forever since I've had to train every day."

"But-"

"You haven't even let me go back to school! Come on, Dad!" he said before he could stop himself, and after realizing what he said, he turned away.

They were quiet for about a minute before Bruce spoke up. "I have to take care of something in Arkham. I'll be back tonight."

"Is it the Joker?" he asked, stopping him.

Bruce frowned. "How did you know?"

"It's been nearly 4 months... he must have broken out by now. I wonder what took him so long." Robin said. "I'm gonna go change-"

"Dick, you'll want to change into this." Bruce said, tossing up a bag he had been holding. "The Team's going on a mission later today."

"What-" he looked in, and saw his Robin outfit. "Wait. So... I can go back?" He asked, and Bruce nodded.

"Yes!" Robin yelled victoriously before running to his room to change.

"Recognized Robin B01"

The minute he walked in, he could tell they were training, because Kid Flash was laying on the ground with Artemis standing over him, smiling.

"I really wish I was here to see that." Robin said as KF stood up.

"It only lasted 10 seconds, so it wasn't that exciting." Artemis said, smiling at the Boy Wonder.

"It wasn't only 10 seconds! At least 30!" Kid argued, glaring at her.

"Whatever, Baywatch."

"It is good to see you again." Aqualad said, walking over to them. "Red Tornado told us you were coming with us."

"Yep-"

"Finally! It's about time Bats let you on missions again." Kid said, before running out of the room, and returning a second later with half-a-bag of chips.

"So... what's the mission for today?" Robin asked eagerly.

"Nothing big... we're just going to some fancy party in Gotham." Artemis told him. "Batman thinks someone is going to attack, and he wants us to keep watch."

"Who?" Robin asked.

"No idea."

"We'll find out when we get there." Aqualad said. "Red Tornado said we should leave soon, just in case someone sneaks in before it starts."

"Why don't we just leave now?" Superboy asked.

"There's no reason we can't. We could just go now."

"Then let's go! Last one there is a rotten egg!" Kid said, disappearing.

Supeboy followed, in the direction of Miss M's bio-ship.

Aqualad watched them run off, before turning to Robin. "I'll explain everything to you along the way." he told him as Artemis and M'gann raced after them.

"Thanks. Now, since I don't feel like being a rotten egg..." Robin took off after his friends, with Aqualad right behind him, and both ran into the familiar bio-ship, and the Boy Wonder sat down in his seat, ready to go on a mission with his friends, for the first time in a year.

Now, things were back to normal.

Sorry for a crappy ending... I'll probably change it tomorrow if I get some bad reviews, I just have no idea what to do :P But hey, I may just add another chapter! :P

Ha, I JUST saw The Dark Knight :D It's awesome, and the Joker made me laugh with the 'I just want my phone call' thing... my friend said I was as crazy as he was, because when he was blowing up the hospital, I was laughing like a madman- er, woman? :)

AAAAANNNYYWAYS!

~Accused~

In 1 week, 10 people in Gotham were murdered. The latest were Liz and Henry, parents to Edmund and Stacey. The good part: They caught the murder on video. The bad part? It's Dick Grayson, and even some people on the JL and YJ think he did it!
