Team Year Three
A rock. That's all it takes to trip Kid Flash when he's running at his top speed.
Robin feels his heart freeze in his chest when he sees KF trip and fly over the edge of the cliff. He feels as though the air has thickened to mud around him. He can't breathe and it takes far longer to reach the cliff edge than it should. He knows what he'll find when he peers over the edge—KF's body on the jungle floor, broken and bleeding and just like them—but he can't help looking anyway. Maybe it's some sick, selfish need to know, but he looks over the edge and sees… nothing. No body on the jungle floor. No blood or broken bones. Nothing.
No, Robin realizes; not nothing. There's a dark shape moving about ten feet below the edge. It's impossible to tell what it is in the dim light from the setting sun, so Robin adjusts his mask to infrared and sees… KF! Somewhere in the back of his mind he realizes that KF must have grabbed ahold of one of the thick vines which hung over the cliff, but the rest of his mind only registers one thought: Not Dead.
A voice drifts up to him from below. "Uh, Rob? D'you think you could help me out? I'm kinda stuck here…"
Robin reaches out inside his mind and touches the link M'Gann leaves active nearly all the time now, contacting their leader. Kaldur, Wally's fallen over a cliff. He's okay, but I can't reach him. Think you could spare Supey for a few minutes?
Kaldur responds in the affirmative, and Robin can hear the faint thumps of Superboy's jumps heading their way. Robin leans back out over the cliff. "Help's on the way, KF," he calls. "Just don't let go."
A snort reaches Robin's ears. "Yeah, right. Thanks for the advice…"
