Chapter 15- Testing Fate

After Dick's unauthorized field trip with Roy and Wally he was burdened by overwhelming exhaustion and unsteadiness. They were barley able to make it through the door of Dick's stay room before he just about passed out, Roy and Wally having to support most of the acrobats insubstantial weight. They barley got to the bed before they were startled by the unknown presence of Bruce Wayne.

"And where exactly have you been?" he greeted with a cold voice, sending a wave of chills to spike through Wally and Roy. Dick just readjusted so he could slowly be eased onto the bed before answering.

"Out" he said with both determination and tiredness in his voice.

"Dick, you know you're not supposed to leave that bed let alone the hospital." Bruce seethed between clenched teeth "I was worried sick about you!"

There was a moment of silence and tension that passed between the two before Bruce spoke again.

"Wally, Roy, you are excused." Bruce said with anger coloring his tone.

Roy and Wally exchanged glances with Dick before being given a nod and a small smile from the bird. Bat-speak for It's okay.

Roy and Wally immediately understood and both gave looks of sadness and understanding before leaving the room quietly.

Bruce took a deep breath and rubbed his face from exhaustion and stress, recomposing himself "What am I going to do with you?" Bruce asked tiredly

"Lock me up?" Dick answered sarcastically staring at a spot of the floor.

"Dick this is serious, you could have been hurt!" Bruce "You could have died!"

"Died? Died?! If you haven't noticed I'm already dying!" Dick yelled bitterly, his attention snapping up to meet Bruce's glare.

"Dick. It's…"

"No, you're not allowed to tell me it's going to be okay, you're not allowed to make me stay in this place rotting in some bed anymore!" Dick yelled his breath coming in short gasps. "I'm sick of this, I want to go home and go on patrol and see the team and help Alfred bake. I don't want to be here anymore Bruce. I just want everything to be normal again" Dick's voice waivered as he continued to vent his frustrations and soon tears were running down his face.

By the time Dick stopped speaking he was dangerously close to hyperventilating, his lungs feeling like they were ready to burst. He stared up at Bruce with shock, his mouth opening in a silent plea before the world tilted and Dick found himself on the floor after sliding from the edge of the bed gasping for the air he desperately needed. He faintly heard the clash of trays and medical supplies clanging to the floor and a felt slight pain in his left wrist.

He could hear Bruce's voice screaming his name but it was drowned in all the confusion and pain. His stomach and lungs cramped violently and he fell sideways grasping for the ripping pain in his abdomen.

Soon nurses and hospital personnel were surrounding him screaming stats and rushing for supplies. It was all a dizzying blur that made his stomach churn resulting in him rolling to the side and retching his stomach contents. Puke and vomit he was used to but the thick crimson color that accompanied it was an unwelcoming sight and soon the bustling around him increased ten fold. His head hurt, his stomach hurt, his lungs hurt, his everything hurt. It felt like everything was on fire and all he wanted was for it to end.

Soon his wish was granted when one of the nurses wiped the inside of his elbow and injected what he figured was a sedative. His world greyed out and the last thing he saw was Bruce's horror stricken face before everything faded to black.
