DOCTOR, NIGHTWING, ROBIN, ASTRID, SUPERBOY AND ANNA'S POV
"Any minute now..." the doctor said, watching Astrid as she was roused from her comatose state.
"I'll have to ask her a few questions when she wakes regarding her health, but after that you can ask your questions," the doctor continued. Nightwing nodded, Anna stood nervously, rocking back and forth on her heels, Connor stood stoically, one hand on his girlfriend's shoulder, and Robin just say in the chair by Astrids bed.
"Whaa...?" Astrid groaned, as her eyes flickered open.
"Hello Astrid, how're you feeling?" The doctor asked kindly.
"Woozy," Astrid mumbled, rubbing her forehead, "what happened?"
"Youve been comatose for a week. What's the last thing you remember?" The doctor checked her vital signs, finding them running smoothly.
"I remember taking a photo of Q- Do you know identities?" Astrid cut herself off.
"Everyone's but Nightwing, Batgirl, Batman, and Robin," the doctor nodded.
"Of Quanta and Jaime, then nothing," Astrid shook her head. Robin bit his lip. She didn't remember the mistletoe.
"Alright, I'm keeping you here for the day, you can leave tomorrow morning. Eat lots of sugar, get your energy levels up. Nightwing, nothing too strenuous," the doctor advised before leaving the infirmary with the test results.
"Hey Astrid," Nightwing started, "do you know what happened to you?"
"I know flashes," Astrid started, "Quanta and Jaime, then a black until the rings, then pain as the dimension ripped apart," a tear fell from Astrids green eye, "the cave. No room to breath. Closing in. No light. Sounds. Fear. Too small," by this point Astrid was hyperventilating.
"Astrid calm down!" Anna shouted at her sister. Astrid nodded, her breathing slowed.
"I thought you were dead," Astrid sobbed into her sisters shoulder.
"You're OK, we're all OK," Anna soothed. Connor and Nightwing shared a look, and left the sisters and Robin alone.
When Astrid was done crying, she picked her head up.
"So what did I miss?" She asked brightly, as though she hadn't been crying a second ago.
"Bella's high on medical drugs and giving everyone names from Harry Potter, tell you later, Grace has a fever, I've started dating Connor," Anna smiled brightly, before sending a covert look towards Robin, telling him he had to explain to Astrid the mistletoe incident.
"I'll leave you to talk to Robin," Anna left the room, closing the door behind her.
"What is it Tim?" Astrid asked. Robin shot a quick look around for any listening devices or cameras, and when he found none, he removed his mask.
"Don't call me that," he hissed, "someone could hear."
"Bat paranoia," Astrid rolled her eyes. "Really though Tim, what is it?" She lightly touched his arm. "What am I missing?"
"On the day you left," Tim took a deep breath, "Quanta and Anna hung mistletoe above us."
Astrids eyes widened in understanding, and took Tim's hand.
"Tim..." Tim looked away, avoiding eye contact.
"Tim," she said again, this time in a stronger tone if voice. He looked back at her.
"I don't know if you thought it was just a mistletoe kiss or..." He really didn't want to continue on, "or if you feel the same way I do."
Astrid cocked her head to the side, searching the blue of his eyes. When she found the sincerity there, her hand slipped to the back of his neck. She pulled him down, and kissed him. Tim smiled.
IMPULSE AND BATMANS POV
"How is Astrid doing?" The Dark Knight growled at Bart, as they stood in the mission room
"Great. Waking up from her coma today," Bart nodded.
"Grace?"
"Getting better."
"How are Anna, Lydia and Quanta dealing with this?"
"Pretty well. They got better when we found Grace," Bart leant against the wall, pulling an energy bar out of his pocket and taking a bite out of it.
"And Bella?" Batman scowled at Barts laid back behaviour.
At that moment, said girl walked in.
"Mr Ron Invisible Unicorn Man! Voldemort!" Bella skipped it the room, a crazy smile of her face. Bart sighed, even he was getting annoyed by her behaviour.
"Voldie!" She hugged Batman, and he growled in the back if his throat.
"That's it. We're putting her in a water tube," he started leading her out the room towards the infirmary.
"Water tube?" Bart asked, easily catching up with the Gotham hero.
"We find
"We're not sure it would work. It's our plan B, we use it on Aquamans serious injuries," Batman explained, pushing open the door to the infirmary. Robin sat by Astrids bed, mask back on as they chatted.
"Hey Batman," they chorused. Batman nodded.
"Trevor! You're awake! Hi Neville," Bella cast a glance to Robin, who smiled slightly.
"I guess this is what you meant by Harry Potter names, Neville," Astrid laughed. Batman and Bart pushed Bella gently into a tube, before filling it to the brim with water. Bella yawned, something in the water making her sleepy, and closed her eyes.
"She'll get out when fully hydrated," Batman said, before dropping out the room.
"Hey Astrid!" Barry grinned, "want some Whizzies?" He held up a bag of the snack.
