Normal POV
Break line, just a while later…
(SORRY HAVEN'T UPLATE SOONER, LAPTOP CHARGER BROKE, ON A DEFF COMPUTER NOW)
Dick had fallen asleep, and Barbara left. The Team snuck back in. Wally went to get a snack from the vending machine.
"What's taking him so long?" Artemis snapped. "I bet he's cleaning it out empty,"
"He's just trying not to be caught," M'gann defended him. Dick started to snore.
"He really looks like a thirteen year old while he's sleeping you know?" Artemis noticed.
"Yeah, he does," Conner agreed. He frowned. He never thought Robin as a child. Dick was whole different person. Everyone was quite after that.
"Wally…" Dick whispered. The Team flinched.
"Dick?" Aqualad narrowed his eyes. "Are you awake?"
Dick turned. "Don't tell…"
M'gann touched his forehead. "No. He's just sleep talking. I wonder what's he's dreaming about," She backed away, afraid someone might think she'll aurally reach into his mind to find out.
Dick squeezed his eyes. "Don't tell anyone you know who I am…"
Artemis's eyes widen. "What is he talking about?"
Superboy shrugged his shoulders. "Don't ask us," Superboy barely remembered that he shouldn't say 'Ask Wally,' or 'Ask KidFlash,' which would expose his secret identity. He stopped himself in time.
Dick seems to relax more. "Team would be angry if…they found out…angry…you already knew…"
Artemis cocked her head. "We would be angry if he already knew what?
Dick breathing slowed down to a normal pace. "Can't tell them…can't tell you already knew who I was before this…"
It took a while. Well, a bit shorter than a while.
'He knew! That little creep knew!' Artemis thought harshly.
Superboy growled in the mind link.
'Calm down. We cannot be sure that-'
Artemis interrupted Aqualad. 'Oh come on! Do you honestly believe that?'
Aqualad didn't answer. 'I thought so,' Artemis thought.
M'gann tried to calm them down too. 'Come on guys. I'm sure that he had his reasons. They're best-'
'If memory serves,' Superboy injected. 'Batman specifically said not to tell anyone! That's what Wally told me,'
And of course, that is when Wally showed up, with a gondola bar in his hand.
"Hey guys. Is he still sleeping?"
Artemis and Superboy glared at Wally.
"Uh, did I miss something?"
'You knew his secret identity?' Artemis shouted in the mind link.
Wally's face dropped. He shook it off and thought 'What make you say that?'
Artemis replayed the scene that happened a moment ago.
'All man, Dick!' Wally complained.
'So you admit it!' Artemis pointed at Wally, not caring how strange it would look on the video.
'Guys! Why are you made at me? He told me. And besides, it's not like you guys don't have your secrets!' Wally argued.
Artemis flinched. 'Fine. I see your point. But I'm still mad.'
'Or jealous,' teased Wally.
'Of what? That he told you? I've only known him for a few months. I don't care,' Artemis was telling the truth.
'Well, I'm still not okay. How- Why did he tell you?' Superboy grinded his teeth.
'Because he's my best friend,'
The Team turned to look at Dick.
'If you want to have a physic conversation, try to keep it down next time,'
M'gann forgot to excluded Dick.
Superboy walked up to Dick.
'So you tell Wally your secret identity, but not us!'
'I told him before me made the team,'
'So why doesn't Aqualad know?'
'Because Wally is my best friend. I already went over this,'
Superboy clenched his fist. 'That's not a good enough answer!'
'Well,' Dick frowned. 'Not good,'
'This isn't time to joke!'
'Come on Conner. Can't you just forget about it?'
'No!'
'Why not?'
Superboy huffed. 'Because you shouldn't keep secrets from us! And if you did, you should make expectations!'
Dick looked angry. His heat meter accelerated.
'Dick. Calm down,' Aqualad went over and touched his shoulder. 'And Superboy. Do not question Dick's reasons and actions. It is done. Let it be forgotten,'
Superboy grumbled. 'Fine!'
Dick sighed. "Where's Barbara?"
"She left," M'gann answered. She looked at her feet. "She told me to tell you not to die,"
Dick laughed. "Yeah. I figured she say something like that,"
"She seems like a quite good friend of yours," Aqualad pushed himself into the conversation.
"Yeah, well you can say she's my best friend,"
'Hey! Where does that me?' Wally scowled in the mind link.
'You're Robin's best friend,'
'Dude!'
"So what about your other friends?" Artemis asked. "Why aren't they here?"
Dick snapped his mouth shut.
"Well?"
"In a way…" Dick trailed off. "she's my only friend,"
"Really?" Artemis's voice seems to be in laughter.
"Well, I'm not really Mr. Popular," Dick told them.
"You're Bruce Wayne's s- ward. How aren't you popular?" Wally was quick his small, yet big mistake.
"Isn't it obvious?" Dick smirked a bit, but it was a little sad.
"Uh, no," Artemis was curious how a billionaire kid wasn't popular.
"Well, first of all, there are plenty of rich kids there. Secondly, I'm thirteen in the sophomore class. Being that big of a brain is considered nerdy. Third of all, I hang around the scholarships kids. Not that they're all outcasts. Just most of them,"
Artemis rolled her eyes at this.
"And lastly of my nearly friendless life is really simple. You sure you can't guess?" Dick tried to give them one more chance.
"No, no, no! For the last time no. We can't guess!" Wally groaned.
Dick sighed. "It was really easy. I'm not born into it. Remember?"
There was stillness in the air.
"Oh," Wally regretted asking.
Artemis looked away. She was sad but glad that she wasn't the only one with family problems.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Dick called. The Team got ready for whoever was behind the door, although Superboy was a little slow.
A doctor came in. "Stand down. I come in peace," He had his hands in the air.
Aqualad looked at M'gann, who nodded. The Team let go of their fighting stance.
"Well, Dick. You made an excellent healing progress. Mr. Alfred Pennyworth is here to take you home now. He is in the waiting room,"
"Awesome! I can finally go home! No offense,"
"None taken,"
After a few hours later, when Dick tried to refuse a wheelchair or crutches (and succeed, despite the doctor's distress), they were able to leave the hospital.
Dick had no trouble walking (much), and Alfred drove the limo back to the Wayne Manor, along with Artemis inside.
The rest of the Team followed by running, flying, or by being levitated.
They got inside the mansion and had a scuffle when Dick refused to get in bed ( and failed, much to Alfred's delight).
"I don't to be in bed," Dick grumbled as he got into bed. "It's only four,"
"Well, Master Dick. Rest will help the healing better. So why don't you rest up!"
"Yes, Alfred,"
Artemis laughed as soon as Alfred left.
"What's so funny?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"Don't use my words against me,"
Artemis snickered. "He's the butler, and he's giving YOU orders. You don't find that ironic?"
Dick shrugged. "I guess. I think Alfred as part of the family. I think it's vice visa,"
Artemis smiled and then frowned. She looked out, wondering if Superboy will hear.
"So. Is there any other reason you spilled the beans on Wally?"
"I thought you weren't jealous," Dick used a playful voice on the last word.
"I'm not. I just want to know," Artemis wasn't jealous. But she a=was annoyed that people accused of her being jealous.
"Well, he's my best friend. And I really trust him,"
"So you don't trust your other friends?"
"No, I do. I guess it's just that I trust Wally more. No offense,"
Artemis grinned. "Sorry. I'm not as soft as the doctor,"
Dick laughed. "Yeah, I figured not," He sighed and seem to be lost in thought as he frowned grimly.
"Hey, Boy Wonder! What's wrong?" Artemis waved her hand in front of his face.
"Well first of, Superboy hates me,"
"Superboy doesn't hate you, you idiot! He's just mad at you!"
"Sure," Dick said sarcastically. "And second of, I'm kinda scared,"
"Of what? The assassin? You don't think we'll protect you?" Artemis pretended to be offended.
Dick laughed again. "Nah,"
"Then what?"
"Bruce's reaction when he finds out I told Wally my secret ID,"
~RobinIsAwesome~
His reaction will come later. Maybe. I don't know.
Who else is shocked and angry at Failsafe's ending?
Just me?
I was like, IT WAS A DREAM! OH COME ON!
Of course I knew it was a dream. They would never kill batman.
Well, not yet anyway. I saw a scene with Batman in it, and we haven't seen it yet.
Can't wait for the next episode. No school for me on Tuesday 9 for those reading this on 11/6/11)
