Time had passed since the eldest found out. Then the third brother found out.
"Alright, Nightwing and I will go in from the front, Red Robin, Robin, you two go in from the back," Batman said. The four were standing on the rooftop of a nightclub. They were going to bring in a gang. Robin followed Red Robin as they jumped down to the back entrance of the nightclub. Silently, the two brothers slipped inside. The air was laden thick with cigarette smoke. One breath of it and Robin could feel his airways start to close. The painful tightness in his chest. He pursed his lips trying hard not to cough. If he coughed they would be in trouble. But he didn't know how long he would be able to hold out for. Getting his inhaler wasn't an option either.
Red Robin frowned slightly as he noticed Robin looked like he was in pain. The older brother typically wouldn't care what was wrong with the Mini bat but when Robin clutched his chest like that's what was causing him pain, he knew exactly what was wrong.
Red Robin dragged Robin into a broom closet and pulled the emergency inhaler from his belt. He didn't know if Robin had his own inhaler so his emergency one would do. Red Robin knelt down so he was on a more eye level with Robin. Robin couldn't exactly protest as Red Robin brought the inhaler up and helped him take a breath from it.
Afterwards Red Robin waited patiently for Robin to get back to normal breathing.
"You probably think less of me know," Robin muttered looking away.
"Hey, I don't think any different of you. Why would I?" Red Robin asked.
"Because I'm weak," Robin stated coldly.
Red Robin sighed, "I have minor asthma. I have a dry powder preventer inhaler that I use to keep my asthma down, but even so I keep an emergency relief inhaler in my belt just in case."
Robin looked at Red Robin surprised. Yes he knew Red Robin was weak and got sick frequently but he didn't realize they had a common weakness. Even if their cases were different, it was still similar.
"Just so you know, I keep my relief inhaler in the third pocket to the right," Robin said after a moment of silence.
Red Robin smiled faintly and nodded, "I'll remember that, just in case."
"Batman and Nightwing are probably wondering where we are," Robin said.
"We can just wait outside and tell them you had an asthma attack," Red Robin said.
"No!" Robin blurted, "I mean, I'd rather not," He wasn't ready to tell his father about his asthma.
"Okay, I get it if you don't want to tell them right away. We can tell them I had an asthma attack. They both already know about my asthma," Red Robin offered a solution.
Robin nodded and the two walked outside together.
The eldest brother figured out what had happened and discussed it with the third brother. The two decided to let the youngest take his time. They both missed the approving nod from the butler.
There we go. Another chapter done. As for why Tim has asthma, he is already weak and gets sick easily so it wouldn't be unlikely that he has minor asthma as well. The last two chapters have been with the bat brothers in costume. This next one will not be. And yes, I did Tim before Jason on purpose even though age wise Jason would go before Tim. Anyways, please review. Every review means a lot to me. Until next time.
