Sorry for the wait here it IS...enjoy ... more coming soon.

He he. I'm so evil for making you wait.

Superman gently set Batman (with Robin sprawled in his arms) down in the main room of Mount Justice, were the kids did their training, debriefing and zeta teleporting, it was sort of like the kid's lobby, Superman glanced around the room, the holographic screen from the morning of Robin's kidnapping was still on, static pattering the large surface, they hadn't been here since…that morning. That beautiful, sunny…terrifying Fourth of July morning. Batman briskly walked to the medical bay Superman watched the dark cape swish around the corner and he unplugged the screen with a spark. He paced. Back and forth, back and forth, knowing that Batman would want to be alone with his son.

The zeta beams announced the rest of the League and the Young Justice team, Kid Flash zipped up to Superman and grabbed his cape.

"Whereishe where'sRob?" he said yanking repeatedly on the man of steel's cape.

"Batman took him to the Medical Bay, and WANTS to be LEFT ALONE" Superman said with a glare, Flash held his nephew back by the shoulders

"And was there any…improvement?" Martian Manhunter asked placing an arm around Megan,

"If you mean has he moved, talked or noticed that he was rescued yet…no" The heroes eyes dropped to the floor

"God Rob's so cocky and fun…to see him like that…how he was on the bed…" Green Arrow said, Red arrow threw his bow down and kicked it across the floor

"Damn it, Robin doesn't deserve that!" Roy's voice seemed to echo off the caves walls.

"The first time I meet him he was 9" Wonder Woman said sitting on the cold floor "the League and I were fighting a fire…Robin was standing close to the building and I, we, thought he was just some kid..." one by one the heroes stared sitting on the floor to face Wonder Woman slightly smiling

"This is dumb" Artemis said throwing herself onto the floor next to Aqualad.

"He was so cocky when Green Arrow asked him to back up, he really made Ollie angry" she laughed at the memory "suddenly Robin rushed inside the building with his little zip line thing, we were all freaked out when suddenly he came running out with a baby in his arms, The child's mother was sobbing as she took her baby from his arms but, when she tried to thank him…Robin just vanished…"

"Yeah he just does that" Conner mumbled

"Well I came up to him and told him that it was the bravest thing I'd ever seen and he took me hand and he…kissed it!" Dianna laughed, as the heroes chocked and snorted with humor "Green Arrow saw it and he flipped out! He was about to shove the kid when Batman showed up and said he was his partner" Wonder women flipped her hair "we couldn't believe that this 9 year old kid was the batman, the scary as hell, Batman's sidekick, he was the first sidekick…" Wonder Woman sighed "and the way Batman acted, I've never seen Batman so happy…that 9 year old kid did something impossible…he made the dark knight smile" The room was silent, suddenly Roy burst out laughing

"The first time I meet Robin was when he was the leader of the Teen Titans, he was so cool and chill as hell, he was sort of paranoid though…but anyways I looked up to that kid he was like my idol, but one day I meet him and…wow….he was just a cocky jerk. But as time went on we became friends and once he even let my team and I take over watching his city, I was helping this kid when he's like "hey Robin, I liked you old outfit better" I was crushed…I mean this kid thought I was Robin…he didn't k now who I was…" The heroes chuckled "but the more I though about it I was honored that the kid thought I was Robin" There was a thoughtful silence

"HA!" Flash snorted "The best memory, not the first time I meet him, but the best memory was when I challenged Robin to a Brawl n' Bot's game, well I stopped to get food from the cafeteria while he set up the game, he freaking RIGGED the game and made his bot have longer arms! HA, so he kept beating me…I was so pissed at that little brat, he was cheating me out of 50 buck and I had no idea!" The room roared with laughter

"That's totally something Robin would do!" Artemis said cracking up

"Our friend is indeed wise" Aqualad chuckled

"What did he do with the amount of money?" Red tornado asked monotone. Flash rolled his eyes

"He frickn' bought ice cream for the INTIRE Justice League except for me!" Black Canary screeched with laughed rolling onto her back

"THAT'S where he got the ice cream from!" she said with a roar of laugher, the heroes continued to share stories and enjoy the memories

"I glad to know you are all having such a good time" Batman's voice rang out from the back of the room; the heroes mouths snapped shut "just shut up, your disturbing Robin" They scrambled to their feet with a flurry of:

"How is he?"

"Shirt, I'm sorry we were just talking about Robin"

"Has he talked?"

"How are you doing?"

"Didn't mean to be so…"

"Is he alright?"

Filling the air. Batman glared at them

"Is the Riddler in jail now?" he asked with so much icy hatred in him voice he could have frozen the entire untied states with a single sentence. He received nods and squinted his eyes even tighter "did he say anything…any smirk, smart assed last remarks?"

"He….he just said that he had committed the greatest crime…he had stolen Boy Wonder's innocence- or purity… I can't remember which he said" Wonder Woman said looking away from his glare "How is he?" Batman seemed to melt, the entire brooding, tough guy act shrinking away like a second skin.

"I dressed his wounds…but he still hasn't moved or said anything…looked at me, uh….he hasn't done anything except for stare" the silence was so thick it could have been cut with a knife, "I don't know what wrong with him, I took a blood test but he's fine…the wounds will leave scars. EXPECIALLY the question mark" Batman slid off his cowl "I ju-just don't know what's going thorough his head…he's probably still scared as hell…and I were him…I would be too" Superman cupped Bruce's shoulder, "It's like he doesn't know who I am"

"Can we see him?" Batman glared at the large man and sneered

"What do you think?" he said his voice dripping with hatred and sarcasm

"You brought him here to be around his friends" Superman said letting go of his shoulder and backing away, he stood in front of the other heroes, young and old and threw his arms wide to beckon to them

"We ARE his friends Bruce" Batman's eyes traveled the group of heroes and nodded once

"5 minutes tops"

Robin felt…

Strange.

A new, harder bed underneath him.

Medical cot, his mind reasoned.

Robin saw an IV bag, his eyes traveling down the tube to his arm.

Robin felt the rough sheet over him.

Robin heard the clock

TICK-TICK-TICK

And the dipping of the IV.

He was cold.

He was hot.

And in a flash he was numb.

It came in waves, the sensations of feeling

One second he was numb, and then the sensation would rush him

Like a stampede of angry horses

Then it was gone,

Robin tried to move his hand,

His middle finger twitched

That was it.

He tried to move his head.

Nothing.

His tongue

He tried to call out

It came out a whimper

Well that was progress

He decided, since only an hour ago he could make no noise at all.

Robin closed his eyes

The sun felt hot.

Then gone as the sensation left,

He was like a robot, low on battery and dying

Those short determined bursts of energy to stay powered

But drained, the power lasting for only mere seconds before going back into reserve.

This is what hopelessness feels like his brain said

Shut up his conscience hollered back

Robin tried to cry

Robin failed.

Damn.

Crying had been so easy a day ago. Actually crying was all he could do a day ago

And Robin missed it.

More coming my readers.
