another short update...but still...an update

Wonder Woman fell to her knees besides Batman, worry plainly seen on her beautiful face, she looked up at J'onn who stood shock still in the door way.

"What happened?" she asked fear consuming her voice

"As Megan said…I do not know" J'onn bent down next to Batman and placed a hand on the Dark Knight's temple

"Holly crap on a stick!" Kid Flash blurted "he's dead isn't he?" J'onn shook his head and rose

"Mentally and physically exhausted and…to put it in your terms-" the Martian rephrased at KF's puzzled look "he's tired and totally stressed out"

"Ohhhh" Kid Flash understanding slowly tapped his temple

"Damn, and I bet he wanted to find a stick and poke the hell out of dead Batman" Artemis jabbed Kid Flash in the ribs with her elbow as she jibbed "didn't you?"

"All Batman needs is rest" J'onn explained levitating the limp crusader to a waiting chair out side the door "I suggest you get the medical you require from the lab to attend to Flash's wound…I will be using the operation room for the next several hours" Superman ordered Black canary to help Aquaman carry in the immobilized Flash

"What do you mean…"operating room" why?" Green Arrow asked putting his hands on his hips.

BLAM!

The medical bay door slammed open striking J'onn, he flung forward into superman's outstretched arms, the heroes stood in shock at Robin who was standing in the door way, in a loose hospital gown that came to his shins, he was completely disheveled and looked dazed.

"J'onn" he croaked "you have to operate now…it's worse…I don't think I have long…unless you do it now" Robin wavered placing a hand to his forehead and weakly falling into Megan's arm's who besides, J'onn and Batman was the only one who knew of his blood clot.

"He's going to need a lot of blood for this…what's his type?" J'onn asked easing himself from Superman's arms and checking Robin's pupils

"O negative" they're heads snapped back to Batman, Bruce pushed himself from the seat "I hate to say this but we can only use a small amount of anesthetic…it's going to hurt like shit…and he's going to be screaming his head off…if the pain doesn't kill him, the amount of time we have to do this operation will, and so will the anesthetic, the coma that may occur after the operation, there are so many things stacked against Robin's survival…I hate to say this but…"

"So don't" Flashes voice echoed from down the hall, the man limped in with the help of Aquaman and Black canary, Batman's face flooded with hope as he came to a realization

"Barry…you're a forensic scientist…can you…make an anesthetic…a light one that still puts him to sleep but is a lighter dose than heavy anesthetic?" Barry frowned and shook his head, the heroes eyes flickered to Robin. The boy's eyes where half closed and he was limp in Megan's arms

"No enough time" Barry said "it's impossible…sorry Bat's" Black Canary retrieved some stitching and gauze from the room and started on Barry's injury

"Bruce" Robin mumbled, Batman pushed through the crowd to his son

"Yes, Richard?"

"Llllauughhingg gasss" Robin's words slurred and his eye's drooped, Batman leaned in as the boy grew weaker, his words barley audible

"What?" Batman shot his son a puzzled look, the group of heroes grew deathly quiet to see what the young hero would say

"Annntttiidoottteee…Llllauughhingg gasss…natural annnessstthhetticcc" Robin dropped limp

"SHIT! You're a genius Robin" Batman dug in his utility belt until he found a small capsule, he attached it to a syringe and slipped it into Robin's neck "there's not much…" he mumbled

"What is going on here?" Roy bellowed "I am confused beyond shitless!" J'onn levitated Robin into the medical room behind his setting him on an operating table "someone tell me or all hell is breaking loose!"

"Robin has a blood clot" Megan squeaked holding Conner's hand to her stomach

"But my sister" Aqualad said "that is fatal, is it not?"

"It wouldn't have been if we KNEW it was a blood clot…not sleep paralysis and selective Mutism!" Batman glared at Black Canary

"All the signs were appropriate to suggest he had those…"

"Just shut the f***ing hell up…I don't care about this crap! If Rob really is dying then why the hell are we standing here like bitches?" Roy threw his bow onto the ground and instantly silencing Black Canary.

Silence followed.

"Damn…I just ran a full diagnostic on every one in this room and none of you have O negative" Green Lantern said his ring glowing

"Perhaps I can change my blood again…" Megan suggested

"Wouldn't be wise…Robin's blood is very peculiar one miss-cell and Robin has a severe reaction…ultimately killing him" J'onn said from the room "we need someone who is an exact mach…suggestions?"

More silence followed. There was a soft call for Batman from inside the room. Batman rushed to his son's side.

"Robin?" he brushed back the boy's hair lovingly, the heroes followed him in, each sending him looks of condolence

"O negggitive…" Robin slurred Batman's heart soared

"Yes…do you know someone?"

"Only oneee"

"Who?"

"The Riddler"
