read and review*** *so sorry for updating late (really really late), i have had two camps and only just got home - Thank God for the 4th of July- a break!*

Chapter 9

Mt. Justice

last time- he heard Batman

"Robin? Robin? It's me Batman, I'm here."

and he knew he couldn't leave

not yet

Robin's breathing was level

his heart rate normal

his brain functioning

no signs of anything being wrong

The Justice League had run every test. But Robin was still non-responsive

Batman hadn't left his son's side since he was alerted that his son was awake.

None of the Superheros had gone vary far from their Robin.

They were all so worried.

(inside Ben's[Robin/Dick] mind)

'i should leave'

'i have to leave'

'the rules...'

.

.

.

'screw the rules, i want to stay with them, they're my family, i was truly happy in this charade, i just won't say anything'

'i'll leave when they make me, and i'll deal with the consequences then.

The metallic clanking stopped.

The machine made creaking and wooshing noises as the figure inside was moved out.

Robin was lying on the MRI machine, dressed in white hospital scrubs; pants and shirt, his small feet were covered by gray socks from the infirmary.

Robin had been awake for four days, it had been a week (i know it might not make sense) since they found him in the showers.

The Justice League still hadn't been able to get through to Robin.

.

.

.

Robin's MRI was complete, but the results were normal.

Batman was scanning the data, hoping to find something he might have missed, so to explain what was wrong with his son.

Young Justice were waiting outside of the MRI room, waiting for Robin to come out, like they had done with all the other tests, they always waited and when nothing was found the wheeled him back to his room in the infirmary.

.

.

.

Once Robin(Ben) was back in his temporary room, he looked at his friend's faces.

Kaldur was in the left corner of the room, a novel was lying on his lap, but he wasn't reading, his eyes were closed, and he looked tired.

M'Gann and was lying on a small cot off to his right, she was still healing from her trip into his mind.

Ben internally flinched at the thought of J'hon and her trying to pry into his foreign and heavily protected mind.

Conner was leaning against the door, his arms were crossed in front of his chest, he was glaring at the floor

Artemis was sitting cross-legged next to Kaldur's chair, she was polishing her bow.

Wally was slouched in a chair just beside his bed, his eyes were open, but his head kept drooping.

.

Ben sighed, he had made his choice, he was going to "wake up" and continue being Robin- The Boy Wonder- and he was going to pretend to be human.

Truthfully he had been for the past years, his body had transformed itself and hid his identity in his mind, but now after Emily had revealed the truth to him, his body had reversed the transformation, he was no longer human, he was an Angelus Tenebris.

.

.

Cautiously he opened his mouth and cleared his throat, then asked "what's going on?"

sorry

for everything

love ya

I'm fragile, but review!
