A/N: Wow, guys. I wasn't even trying to make you cry this time. Cool. Anyways, thank you so much for everyone who followed me on Tumblr! You guys are so awesome! Also, I have a new story and it's also a de-aging one. It's called Hush Little Children and it would be awesome if you checked it out!
After the nightmare incident, the three women and Batman, who had only been there to check on Robin, left. Once again, Flash and Green Arrow were watching the kids. They wanted to get the kids' minds off the whole thing so they were trying to come up with ideas.
"Hey! I know!" Flash said, "How about we play Hide 'N Seek?"
"I don't know." Green Arrow said, "What about Robin?"
"He's a little baby!" Flash said, "There's no way he can get anywhere where we can't find him."
"I guess you're right." Green Arrow said.
"Of course I am!" Flash grinned and turned to the children, "Hey, kids! Want to play Hide 'N Seek?"
"Yeah!"
10 minutes later:
"He's a little baby!" Green Arrow mimicked, "There's no way he can get anywhere where we can't find him."
"I get it!" Flash said, "I messed up! Again!"
After the children had gone off to hide, Flash and Green Arrow had begun to count to 50. After that, M'gann was the first to be found hiding in a closet with Connor. Next, they had found Wally hiding in the pantry (no surprise there). Then, they had found Kaldur hiding in the pool (no surprise there either) and Zatanna under her bed in her room. Roy and Artemis were harder to find, but they finally found them when they heard arguing in the bioship about who was there first. And that left Robin.
"Where could he be?" Green Arrow asked.
"There can't be too many places." Flash said, "He may be Robin, but he's still a baby."
They ran off to continue looking for him.
3 hours later:
"Ok, where is the little brat?" Green Arrow was now royally pissed. And that's putting it lightly. He had been running back and forth in the Cave and he still hadn't found Robin.
Flash ran up behind him, huffing and snacking on some energy bars, "I checked everywhere! I even check a few of the vents!"
"All of them?" Green Arrow asked. Flash paused and looked sheepish.
"Well… not all of them. Some of them are really high off the ground and there's practically no way to get up there.
Green Arrow sighed, "We might as well check them."
The two rushed to the unchecked vents and began to look inside and around. It wasn't until the last vent that they found Robin, curled up on the ground, shivering and sleeping.
Flash gently picked him up and carried back to the entertainment room, where the other children were waiting in boredom.
"Fwash!" Wally whined. The two men shushed him and he quieted down when he saw Robin, "We awe hungwy!"
"Alright, well, what do you guys want for lunch?" Flash asked.
"Mac 'n cheese!" Wally exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Artemis, M'gann, and Zatanna said.
Green Arrow laughed, "Alright, come on!"
The kids followed the two heroes into the kitchen and sat down. Flash and Green Arrow moved around the kitchen as they made the food. Flash was still holding Robin. The food finished cooking and they handed it out.
Flash looked down at Robin, "Should we wake him up?"
"Nah," Green Arrow said, "he's sleeping. We'll just feed him later."
Suddenly, Robin coughed lightly and sniffled. Everyone in the room stiffened and stared at Robin. Flash, still tense, slowly brought his head down and felt Robin's forehead. He looked up at Green Arrow in fear.
"His head feels warm."
Green Arrow's eyes widened, and he immediately dashed off to the medicine cabinet in one of the bathrooms. He came back with a thermometer.
"Check his temperature!" he whispered. Flash nodded and did it. When the thermometer beeped, Flash checked it and paled.
"101.2 degrees." Flash whispered. Flash and Green Arrow looked at each other in horror and then started running around.
"Get blankets and pillows! I'll get him something to eat!" Flash yelled. Green Arrow nodded and ran off. He came back with a comically oversized pile of blankets and pillows and laid them on the couch. Flash scurried around the kitchen, trying to make something that would soothe Robin and hopefully make him better. The kids just watched as all of this happened.
Robin began to whine in his sleep as his fever and the noise that the men were making started to bother him.
"Oh man!" Flash cried, "What will we do when Batman finds out?"
"Hopefully, he won't." Green Arrow said, "He already checked on Robin today. Maybe he won't come until tomorrow."
"Are you kidding me?" Flash asked, "You heard him! He likes Robin this way! He'll probably come later today and kill us when he finds out Robin is sick!"
Green Arrow paled, "Alright, here's what we'll do. I'll go out and get him some medicine while you make him as comfortable as possible and watch the kids. Just don't take them outside again."
"Yeah," Flash laughed sheepishly, "I learned my lesson."
"Good. I'll be back as soon as I can."
Recognized: Green Arrow, 07
Robin coughed again and the children walked over, worried.
"Is he gonna be ok?" M'gann asked.
"Yeah. He is." Flash said, "He's just a little sick."
"Batman's gonna get you." Wally said as he grinned at Flash. Flash grimaced at him.
"And when he gets me I'll get you." Wally's eyes widened and he ran away.
"Way to scare your nephew, Flash." Roy said. Flash grinned at him.
"It's about time! I still have to get revenge on him for video-taping me when I was de-aged!"
A/N: So I've been watching Fullmetal Alchemist and daydreaming a lot lately so I hadn't had a lot of motivation to write this until I mentally slapped some sense into myself. But OMG! We are so close to 400 reviews, guys! That is so awesome! Do you think we can get it after this chapter? Please? Review!
Love,
