AN: WOW. SO. Re-watching these episodes has made me realize what a beating Superboy and Kaldur get on these missions. Unfortunately (for me) Robin and KF? Not so much. Their injuries might seem far-fetched, but I hardly believe they would make it out of such a fight unscathed, so I took the liberty of expanding on some minor incidents. Let me know what you think! :) I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING.

Season 1, Episode 4: "Drop Zone"

Robin
Santa Prisca
July 22, 22:03 ECT

"I know you hate getting your hands dirty!" Robin taunted.

"True," Kobra said defiantly, shrugging off his cloak, "but sometimes even a god must stoop to conquer."

Robin sprang forward.

He jumped when he was within arm's reach of Kobra and brought his knee up to land a kick in his face. Kobra blocked this effortlessly, and Robin dropped, undeterred, to the ground. He landed deftly and swung his leg out to knock Kobra off his feet, but Kobra simply raised his foot.

Robin sprung back up, aiming another kick at his face- but Kobra stopped him in his tracks.

It felt like kicking a brick wall, and Robin heard rather than felt a distinct crack when Kobra closed his fingers around his ankle. He arched his back, and Kobra kicked him away. He landed neatly, trying to ignore the stab of pain in his ankle.

"What's wrong, boy?" Kobra jeered, "You look disconcerted."

Robin narrowed his eyes, and biting back the pain, he lunged at Kobra once more.

Dick Grayson
Gotham City
July 24, 16:29 EDT

Dick Grayson sat on the sofa in the family room of Wayne Manor, aimlessly flipping through the hundreds of channels available on the HD-TV. His foot was elevated on several pillows, and a bag of ice was propped on top of his red and swollen ankle. He paused briefly on a news report of the weather,

"And we've got sunny skies ahead for today in Gotham! The rest of the week will follow with a high of-"

"There's nothing to watch!" Dick moaned, tossing the remote aside.

Just then, his cell phone rang. Glancing at it, he saw Barbara's name pop up on the screen. He quickly grabbed it and answered the call,

"Hey, Barb! What's up?"

"Hi, Dick. Want to come over for dinner? My dad's ordering pizza."

Dick glanced at his swollen ankle,

"I can't. I'm housebound."

"Why?"

"I, uh, twisted my ankle."

There was a moment of silence at the end of the line, and then Barbara sighed,

"What did you do this time?"

Dick chuckled sheepishly,

"I was walking home yesterday and I took a shortcut through the old alleyway in downtown Gotham – you know, the one with the out of order telephone booth?"

"Yeah…" Barbara said slowly.

"Well, the sidewalk there is all cracked and lopsided, and it was getting dark so I couldn't really see, and I tripped on a broken piece of the sidewalk and my ankle twisted when I fell."

For a few seconds the line was quiet, and then Barbara sighed,

"Really?"

"Really."

"Oh, Dick." Barbara groaned.

"It's fine, though! Alfred think's I'll be back on my feet in a few days."

"You're really something else, you know that?" Barbara sighed.

Dick's eyes flickered to the TV screen as the news changed to a report of the recent incident in Santa Prisca.

"And Gotham's very own Boy Wonder was on the scene-"

A picture of Robin in uniform flashed on the screen and Dick grinned,

"Yeah, I know. I really am…"

Kid Flash
Santa Prisca
July 22, 21:03 ECT

"Yeah, yeah, just as soon as I find Rob."

Kid Flash raced forward, but the soft terrain made it difficult for him to keep friction. He slipped and landed hard, the momentum from his fall propelling him forward. He tumbled down a hill and through the undergrowth. As he scraped through bushes and thorns, he made a mental note to thank the Justice League for designing his Kevlar suit to protect his skin from acquiring road rash.

"Aahh!"

He suddenly burst from the undergrowth and landed on all fours in the middle of a clearing. Rubbing his head, he looked up and found himself face to face with Bane.

"So much for the stealthy…" he said nervously.

Bane narrowed his eyes and raised his gun, littering the ground around Kid Flash with bullets. He quickly did a backflip and sprinted in the opposite direction, but as he ran he felt the pounding of bullets as they hammered into his back before ricocheting off the Kevlar.

As he dodged behind a tree, Kid Flash made another mental note to thank the Justice League for developing his bulletproof Kevlar suit.

Wally West
Central City
July 24, 16:35 CDT

Wally West stood in his room, staring at his bare back in the mirror over his dresser. His skin was decorated with over a dozen quarter-sized bruises, ranging in color from light purple to almost black. One particularly nasty welt was situated directly over his shoulder blade, and he felt it throb whenever he moved his arm.

His phone suddenly vibrated and he glanced at the caller ID before grinning and picking up,

"What's up, Boy Wonder?"

"How many times do I have to tell you not to say that when we're off-duty?!" Came Dick Grayson's annoyed voice from the other end.

Wally chortled,

"Yeah, yeah… what's up?"

"Can you catch a zeta to Gotham? I'm bored out of my brains here, and Alfred won't let me leave the couch."

Wally laughed as he shrugged on a t-shirt,

"Can't you just ninja your way past him?"

Dick guffawed,

"This is the guy who raised the Batman, he knows all the tricks… Come on, we've got a fully stocked fridge!"

Wally sighed,

"I wish I could, dude, but I can't."

"Why not?"

"My back's covered in welts and my mom won't let me out of the house until I have an excuse."

"No one's gonna see your back!"

"Chyea, try telling that to her."

Dick sighed impatiently,

"So then make up some cover story and get over here! Alfred's making pizza for dinner."

Wally ran a hand down the side of his face,

"What kind of cover story?! I look like I have chicken pox on steroids!"

Dick laughed,

"When that happened to me last summer I told people that I went paintballing. They seemed to buy it."

Wally was silent as he mulled this over,

"That could work…"

"Great! So run to the zeta tubes and get here A-S-A-P!"

"On my way!"

Wally hung up and quickly grabbed his sneakers before running down the stairs,

"Mom!" he called from the doorway, "I'm going out!"

AN: Only one more episode until the arrival of Artemis! Don't forget to review! :)
