"You SHOT him?!" Was the first thing Red Arrow yelled as he burst into the hallway outside the Medical Bay. The entire Team was there, waiting to hear word about how Robin was doing. Canary had called Red Tornado, and now both of them and Flash were in there, fixing his shoulder.

Aqualad made sure to inform Batman of what was happening before joining his Team to wait. The Gotham Zeta's had apparently been more trouble than initially thought, because Batman and the Arrows had only just arrived.

"You freaking shot him?!" The seething archer repeated, glaring at Artemis.

"It's not like I aimed for him!" She yelled back. "If Kid Idiot didn't run into me-"

"Enough!" Batman bellowed, entering behind Roy. "You all did your duties, good job."

"But we hurt him," Miss Martian said.

"Sometimes injury is unavoidable when capturing a criminal," Batman said monotonically, walking past the group of teenagers into the Medical Bay. The Team exchanged uneasy glances as he and Green Arrow disappeared behind the double doors. Once they were gone, Red Arrow spoke up again.

"Look, he's not actually a criminal," he started.

"We understand that," Kaldur assured him. "Wally has told us what exactly is going on. We all agree with you. Robin would do no such thing. I know that."

Roy gave out a huff of relief. "Good. The last thing we need is even more people against him."

"Does the whole League believe he's evil?" Artemis asked.

"It seems like it," Wally responded. "Even Batman, although he seems to be in more of an angry denial type thing than actually upset."

"He seemed like normal Batman to me," Conner stated.

Wally shrugged tiredly. "You learn to read him a lot better when your best friend is Robin."

"You look exhausted, my friend," Kaldur said.

"We've been awake for about two or three days now," Red Arrow explained. "We're both running on a boat load of coffee and energy bars. I can't imagine how tired Robin must be."

"Probably better, now," Black Canary said from behind them. They hadn't even noticed the doors open. "He's resting at the moment, but you can still come see him if you'd like."

The Team followed her through the doors to the bed their youngest was currently on. He had thick bandages around his shoulder, and an IV in his hand. Other than that, he looked peaceful. What surprised them the most, however, was the fact that he wasn't wearing anything over his eyes. Not that they could tell who he was with his eyes closed, but it just made him look so much younger.

"I always forget that he's only thirteen," M'gann whispered. She glanced across the room, where Black Canary, Red Tornado, Batman, Flash, Green Arrow and Superman were talking. "How can they believe he did this on purpose?"

"I guess it's up to us to prove otherwise, as always," grumbled Artemis.

"How do we even begin to do that?" Wally sat down in a huff, his eyes not leaving his unconscious friend.

"M'gann said she contacted him, maybe that can help," Conner suggested.

"Hello Megan! That could totally help!" Megan exclaimed. Several of the Leaguers looked over at her strangely before continuing their conversation.

"You talked to him?" Red Arrow whispered, not wanting to draw any more attention to them.

"Well, not much," she said quietly. "It was strange. At first I couldn't sense him at all, like he wasn't here. It wasn't until he got hit by the arrow that he was suddenly there. He was struggling with something, but the only thing I could really make out was him asking me to shut him down. He was in a lot pain, so I listened."

"Struggling with something?" Wally asked, sitting up straighter. "Like mind control? 'Cause that's what we initially thought."

"It's not any kind that I've seen before," M'gann answered. "There was no other presence. It was only him. But there was something wrong. He was fighting something. I just don't know what."

Everyone stopped talking as Black Canary walked up.

"How are all of you faring?" she asked.

"I believe we are all more worried about Robin," Kaldur told her.

"Of course," she began. "Well, his shoulder should be perfectly fine. It will hurt for awhile, but nothing worse. However, the arrow did chip his bone pretty well. We're running some tests to make sure it doesn't get infected. They take some time to complete, though, so I suggest you all try to get some sleep. Robin will be out for awhile, so there's no need to worry about him."

"What are you going to do with him once he does wake up?" Artemis asked.

Canary sighed. "We don't know. Hopefully get some answers. We don't want to turn him in while his shoulder is still like that."

"So you still think he's evil, huh?" Roy said coldly.

"There is no other option," Batman growled, walking up behind Black Canary. "So I suggest you get used to it. Now, as Canary said, get some rest."

M'gann looked ready to tell the older hero everything they had discussed, but stopped herself after a quick look at Red Arrow. Slowly and silently, the Team filed out of the Medical Bay. Batman looked back to where Dick was laying.

"Why would he do this?" He asked more to himself than anyone.

"I'm so sorry, Bruce," Dinah said, equally as quiet. The Leaguers followed the Team out, having decided to get some sleep themselves. Only Superman stayed behind to keep first watch in case Dick woke up.

Dick slowly opened his eyes, not quite sure of anything except the fact that he was extremely tired. He blinked a few times as his vision adjusted to the bright lights of the... Medical Bay? How had he gotten here? Confused, Dick glanced around silently. He finally saw Flash over on the other side of the room. The boy wonder was about to call out to him when he remembered.

They think I went rogue, he realized. The thought struck him hard. Suddenly, a thousand thoughts seemed to race through his mind, but one in particular stood out.

I have to get out of here.

Based on the confrontation in the Batcave, Dick could tell that no one would believe his blackout story anymore, even if it was the truth. So where would he go?

M'gann... He thought. He realized he had a fuzzy memory that must have been during a blackout. His eyes widened as they recalled what had happened, but it only made him even more determined to prove himself innocent.

Glancing back to Flash, he could see that the older hero hadn't noticed he was awake yet. He was too busy with some science-looking stuff on the monitor to notice Dick slowly sit up, grimacing as his shoulder flared in pain. He winced as he pulled the IV out of his hand, then quietly stepped onto the floor. He looked down to see that he was only wearing a pair of gray sweatpants, but that just made it easier to stay silent.

Luckily, Flash was on the side of the room farthest from the door, and had his back to Dick. Glancing back one last time, the boy wonder vaguely wondered what the strange cells Flash was looking at were, before slipping out the door to go to M'gann's room.

"No way," Barry muttered to himself. He couldn't stop staring at the monitor, shocked yet extremely excited. He had been the fourth watch, and nearly a day had passed since Dick had fallen unconscious. He had finally finished the bone tests to check for infection, but the result was most definitely not what he had expected. It was even better.

Well, I guess it's actually pretty bad, he thought. But hey! Dick's not evil!

A smile overtook his face. "Hey! Robin's not evil!" He said out loud to the empty air. Turning around, he continued, "Hey Dick! You're not-" His smile fell from his face as he was met with an empty cot.

"-evil... Oh, crud."

What's that? You finally want to know what Flash found out? Deal.
