Chapter 21 Robin's POV- Healing and Birds

When I wake up I'm in the Bat Cave, laying on the couch. I don't remember much. I try to lift my head up, but my head starts pounding. So I resort to just listening.

"Get out and never come back!" I hear Batman shout.

I can't let anyone leave me here alone with Batman, so I call out.

"N-No D-Don't leave." I say weakly.

"What is it?" She says as she wraps her hand around my head.

"I-I need you to stay here, I can't be here by myself with Batman."

"Ok," she says, "first let's get your uniform back on."

Wait, what...

I'm wearing clothes... But some familiar thing isn't there. I move my hand slowly to my face and feel around my eyes.

I don't have my mask on anymore.

I gasp when I feel her sliding another mask onto my face.

"Ok, let's try to get you up." She says sweetly.

I try to lift my head up, but I'm greeted with more pain and a voice,

'Don't, don't get up, take it slower than usual.' The voice says.

I relax and take a few deep breaths and try again, this time I'm able to sit up, but I have to be assisted. I take heavy deep breaths.

Then I try to stand up, with no avail, I have to have some help. I finally get up and practice walking, I can't go far without help. And on more than one occasion, I stumble and fall right on Batman. I apologize several times before the Wolf can come back and help me up. About ten minutes later and several stumbles, I finally make it to the dining room. I sit down at the table as Wonder Wolf heats up some food, yum.

When it's done she brings it over. What I see shrinks my insides, it's one Hot Pocket. Just one. I was stuck inside of a building for a few weeks with barely anything to eat and when I return home suffering from malnutrition, all I have to eat is one Hot Pocket. I look at her the look at the food.

"You're going to need to cook a whole lot more than this."

I grab the yummy pizza flavored goodness and practically shove the whole thing down.

Ten Hot Pockets later and one exhausted chef, I'm finally done. I stand up and have a weird feeling that someone is standing behind me, so I spin around, but oddly enough nothing is there. When I turn back around the Wolf is staring at me .

"What? I thought I heard something." I say.

"You need some training." She says.

"Unh, ha, ya!" She screams and comes at me. for some reason, I'm slower than what speed I used to fight at.

She slaps me twice and punches me, I fall to the ground in defeat, then I have that odd feeling again except something happens and I can't remember why I'm in a training room fighting.

"Why am I in here?" I ask

"What do you mean? You're training." She says.

I walk past her and out of the room. She's following close behind.

"Hey-" she starts

"Shhh."

I walk forward a few steps and stumble, when I turn the corner I see Batman and he's right there waiting for me. I look up at him and before I stop could myself, I spit in his eye and try to grab his mask.

I don't know why I even tried, I already know who he is underneath the mask. He grabs my wrist and wipes the spit out of his eyes and proceeds to pick me up. While walking Wonder Wolf is trailing close behind. She looks confused. I know I'm confused too.

He carries me then takes me to a room and lays me on a table, I struggle. Bad memories flow into my brain from when I was ten. He straps me down a gets a needle and draws some blood. He puts the vial in a freezer and waits. Then he unbuckled me and tells me to sit and wait. He walks out of the room and leaves me alone with the Wolf.

I cough awkwardly and slowly stand up. I can see Batman on the other side of the glass, while he does some tests. Finally he pours a drop of my blood into a sample scanner machine.

He looks at the printed results and looks up at me, he looks worried. He gives a signal to Wonder Wolf and she nods back, she pulls out her shield and is getting ready to hit me in the head. I get a sudden bolt of adrenaline and grab her wrist and twist it, while I punch her in the guy and she stumbles back and coughs up just a bit of blood. She looks at me with fury and kicks me, but that doesn't stop me for long.

I run at her and right when I'm about grab her neck to choke the life out of her, I feel a pair of hands wrap around my throat to a pressure point and I pass out.
