Don't own YJ
Thank you all reviewers!
Wally's body is dying just as quickly as he is being repaired. The utter pain of having something repaired, broken, repaired and broken again is leaving the teen nearly comatose.
He wants to sob but he can't even find the strength to breathe. He knows he would already be dead if his body wasn't trying so hard to fix him but he almost wishes it would just stop. He knows that even if he lives he'll be completely drained, barely able to function, which is more than likely Ivy's goal.
"G-god!" He curses, feeling his mouth fill up with blood. He spits it out but it only goes so far and he's forced to practically lay in it.
This is not how he wants to die and it's definitely not how he wants to live.
Superboy is one super leap in front of Robin as the younger teen pumps his legs to keep pace with the clone.
"He's not screaming anymore."
Robin lets out a curse that has Superboy turning on his heel, "What does that mean?"
"I'll tell you later."
"Not a very nice thing to say about someone, is it?"
"Ivy!"
A vine sweeps Superboy off his feet but Robin is fast enough to dodge the vine aimed for him. He digs into his belt for his batarangs but instead of throwing them this time, he keeps them with him, striking violently at any vine that gets too close.
"Boy Wonder, you never play fair but then again, neither do I." Ivy laughs as her vines pull back to her and some spring up from the ground Robin and Superboy are on. The whole thing is shaking and Robin can feel the ground under him leave his feet and knows that he's now falling.
"Robin!" Superboy's voice cuts through the sound of destruction and his large hand wraps around Robin's wrist and he pulls the younger teen to his chest, using his body to shield him from the avalanche of rocks dropping on them.
Ivy stands there, observing her work with a smirk. She waits until the dusts settles before walking away, confidant that no one will bother her now.
"Come my pets, I'll feed you before I go and check on our little friend."
She walks away and the area becomes quiet.
When Robin opens his eyes he finds himself staring at the symbol on Superboy's chest.
"I really, really hate her." Superboy growls out, his arms on each side of Robin and his back is the only thing keeping the Boy Wonder from being crushed. "Brace yourself."
With a primal yell he heaves himself backwards, forcing the rocks off of them with pure strength that Robin feels a twinge of jealousy at. He shakes his head and easily slips out from under Superboy to get himself to safety.
"Should we go after her?" Superboy asks as he casually tosses a rock back down into the pit.
"No. We can get her later, we need to find Wally."
Robin takes off quickly in the opposite direction of Ivy. Superboy follows him easily as they make their way to a cave.
"He should be in here."
They enter the cave cautiously, half expecting Ivy to spring another trap. "Wally?"
"Around the corner." Superboy announces and Robin takes the corner at a good speed.
"Wally!" Robin yells out as he sees his friend's body. He notices the blood from Wally's mouth and the fact that Wally's barely breathing first.
"Ivy must have poisoned him. We have to get him to the bioship as quickly as possible."
Superboy nods and kneels down to scoop up Wally into his arms, "Hop on my back."
Robin pulls a face but he's fairly certain that Superboy won't leave without him and complies. His grip is light until Superboy takes his first leap and he's forced to hold on for dear life.
"Contact M'gann. I think we're in range now." Superboy calls up to Robin. Robin nods and calls out to M'gann telepathically.
'M'gann, it's Robin.'
'Robin! You're okay! Is Wally alright? What about Superboy?'
Robin winces at how loud her thoughts come in but he understands that she's probably relieved.
'Wally needs medical attention. Superboy and I are bringing him to the rendezvous point.'
'Affirmative. Aqualad and I will be there in twenty minutes.'
'See you then.'
When Superboy and Robin arrive at the location, there is still time before the bioship is due to arrive and Robin has Superboy set down Wally so he could check him over in the better light.
"He looks like a mess." Superboy states but Robin can see the worried look on his face.
"Batman has something to help counteract Ivy's poison but it usually has to be give a few moments after infection…"
"Wally's tough. He'll make it."
Robin looks up and sees the bioship speeding towards them and hopes silently that Superboy is right.
