Thanks for not giving up on me despite work, school and life. You are all amazing.

Kaldur had felt dehydrated before. He had been left in the desert to die with no memory. He had been trapped in a cage made of fire with M'gann by two psychotic robot sibblings. He had even just had long days where he desperately needed a drink.

This took the cake.

He was on fire.

He could feel his skin burning and dying and trying to heal back because there was water somewhere, but where? He had to find it!

He had grabbed Artemis and had put her to sleep to stop him from hurting him. They were just inside the safe zone, but suddenly bright light eliminated the room and had set them both on fire. He started to roll her and try to roll himself at the same time.

"KALDUR STOP. COME OVER HERE." Batman yelled to him. "Robin, get Flash here. NOW."

"Artemis! I need water." His voice came out mangled and raspy.

"HE'S AFTER ME!" Wally screamed. "BARRY HELP! HE'S GOING TO GET ME!

"GUYS. Over here!" Robin called.

Kaldur dragged himself across the ground and pulled Artemis behind him with one hand towards Batman and Green Arrow. "Help. I need help. Artemis is on fire."

"No, no she's not! She's fine. You're hallucinating."

"No! It's wrong! I need water." He called to Green Arrow as he picked up Artemis and carried her towards the medical bay. The fire died as Green Arrow picked her up.

He looked down at himself and frantically swung his arms up and down his torso. Batman ran to him and started dragging him at top speed down the hall. The fire started to catch Batman's cape and costume.

"NO. It's me. Let me go!" Kaldur yelled. He tried to throw himself back to the floor. Batman squeezed hold and kept walking-

-just as Kid Flash ran past with Barry chasing him, smacking into the two team leaders.

The two young heroes scrambled to their feet. Wally jumped to his feet and ran towards the exit of the cave. Kaldur started to run to the pool before Batman jumped on his back, flipped Kaldur on his front and started efficiently walking towards the med-bay.

Once Kaldur was finally released onto the bed, he jumped a foot and grabbed the glass of water and splashed himself with the water. "MORE!"

"Kaldur, drink this." Batman yelled holding out a glass. Kaldur grabbed it and splashed his face, half of it landing in his mouth.

"Don't touch me Batman. I'm not-" Kaldur dropped to the floor.

Batman sighed. "Well, at least we know how to deal with this for next time."

Dick jumped on Hal's back as the galactic space police officer flew out the entrance of the Cave.

"Dick, you have three seconds-"

"Hal keep going! "

"No way. Go back to Batman." He went close enough to the ground.

"I know what he's going through. Running isn't going to do it. We have to outthink him."

"We know that. We're going to coral him."

"How? He's wearing yellow!" Dick yelled.

"Trust me."

Barry was a blur against Wally. Wally had zipped onto the water, with Barry following close behind.

"ANY TIME G.L.!" Barry shouted, the two young men running faster and faster.

"Dick, get off!" Hal yelled.

"Okay!" Dick smiled and jumped off dropping on top of Wally. The two boys dropped into the ocean.

"Dick?" Barry asked.

"Okay, ready!" Dick and Wally were on the surface of the water.

Barry held Wally still and handed Dick back the tranquilizer gun as Hal constructed a light prismed box to form around the three superheroes. Dick slid the dart into his best friends arm.

"Night buddy. I'll buy you donuts later." Barry ruffled his hair. He turned to Robin dead in the eye. "Richard, that was not called for. Good intentioned or not that was unnecessary risk."

"You just know Batman and Wally would have the same conversation."

Hal groaned. "So, Buzz Kill was Buzz Killed by a buzzard."

"ROBIN!" Dick groaned.
