Friday: Normal POV
Batman stood in the middle of the debriefing room, a deep scowl etched deeply into his face. His cape hid most of his body, covering it in cloud of darkness. M'gann, Conner, Artemis, Roy, and Wally all stood at attention before him, their eyes brimming with hope.
"So what did you find?" M'gann asked as she floated a few feet above the ground, bobbing up and down. It was making Conner twitch, as he tried to focus on Batman, next to the Martian.
"Nothing" Was the Bat's cold reply
"What? You're not going to tell us? That's not fair! He's our teammate, our friend." Wally cried, throwing his arms up.
"No, I mean we found nothing. I got every scientist and doctor in the league to help but the data proved unhelpful." His voice was still an emotionless flat mass of cold.
"Well then, what do we do?" Artemis asked, taking a step forward.
"The league will do more research. You will help Robin in any way you can while we wait."
"Wait? That's the big plan? Your son's life is in danger. He almost killed himself two times in five days! And he attacked Artemis on Wednesday and then Conner yesterday!" Roy spoke up, his eyebrows knit together as his eyes narrowed down to a fierce glare. Batman opened his mouth to talk but Wally stopped him.
"He's scared you know? Actually scared."
At this Artemis's fists clenched. This was the first time since she had met Robin that he was actually scared. He was always so calm and collected. Even when he watched all his friends die during that disaster of a training exercise. Wally's voice brought her back to earth.
"He has no idea what is going on. All he knows is that he wakes up in a hospital bed covered in bandages every morning and can't remember most of the day that passed. And-" Batman stopped him with a growl.
"Robin has been attacking you? I thought I told you to keep me updated!" The whole room took in a breath as Batman's anger lashed out like a fiery whip. It hit their bare flesh at the most painful points.
"We…errr…didn't want to worry or distract you. We wanted you to find a cure." M'gann said timidly.
"The best help I can be if finding a cure. That is my place." Batman finally agreed. That was strange, Batman never backed down like that. "And you will remember your places." His voice became harsh and accusing, proving that Roy and Wally had hit a nerve. This was very, very, very bad news for them.

Meanwhile: Kaldur's POV
He was weak and pale, covered in bandages and barely able to stand up. He should not have been a threat to me, yet here I was, jumping out of the way as a knife whizzed past my ear to land in the wall behind me. I let out a gasp as a syringe came out of nowhere to land right at my feet.
"Robin, please, I only wish to help you!" I called out to him, looking around the hospital room. There was nowhere for him to hide! Yet the boy had somehow escaped my sight.
"Robin?" The room was silent now. No more weapons attempted to pierce me, no more cackling filled my ears, and no more dark shadows bordered my vision as the only hint to Robin's location.
"K-Kaldur?" A whisper stroked my ears. I jumped and turned to find Robin next to me. He blinked a few times, his blue orbs tear filled and regretful. I lunged forward as his knees buckled. Carrying him over to his bed like an infant I tensed as tears leaked out of his eyes.
"Oh god, I'm so sorry. I didn't…I never meant….I couldn't stop….you have-"
"It is okay Robin." I soothed as he fell from my arms and into the bed. I wiped away the tears gently. "I know you did not mean to attack me." I frowned as he trembled under the thin blanket. This had been a common situation ever since Wednesday. But normally the boy would have passed out immediately after coming out of the violent state of mind, then awaken without any memory of what had previously happened. But he was still awake with the memory fresh in his mind. Did that mean things were getting better or worse?

Saturday: Normal POV
Wally let out a groan, jumping from the couch. Robin's head turned towards him as if expecting something. The acrobat was curled up on a large chair under a thin blanket. If it were any other circumstances then Wally would have thought him adorable. He looked so small and cute just laying there.
"Okay, we need to get out!" Wally cried.
"What? Are you crazy? Last time you left Robin set his arm on fire and almost gave me and M'gann a heart attack!" Roy argued. Robin tried to ignore that.
"Okay, then let's bring Robin with us."
"Are you kidding? He's crazy. He could attack anyone at any moment or just randomly black out." Artemis spat. She had been leaning on the doorway listening to the conversation. Robin couldn't ignore that. He was about to shoot her a hurt glare, which was all he could to at that moment with Roy and Wally turned on her.
"Don't talk to him like he's not here. And he isn't crazy! He is just a little sick. And maybe it would be good for him to get out." Wally glared at the blonde harshly.
"Yeah Artemis, don't talk about Robin like he isn't in the room. And I agree with Wally….mostly." Robin rolled his eyes. Artemis wasn't the only one talking about him like he wasn't there. Talk about irony.
"Come on! Let's take him to the park. There's one in central city that is barely used this time of year. And the first sign of trouble I will speed him out of there."
"No way. He isn't even strong enough to go out anyway." Artemis spat
"He is so!" Roy argued, just for the sake of it. Green Arrow's new favorite archer was really getting on his nerves.
"Guys?" Wally tried to interrupt.
"Is not!"
"Is so."
"Guys"
"Is not!"
"Is so."
"Guys"
"Is not!"
"Is so."
"Guys!"
"What?" They both asked simultaneously.
"Why don't we just ask him?" Wally offered, walking over to Robin. The Boy Wonder had been watching the fight with slight amusement on his face.
"Yeah, sure I'm up for it." He said with a smirk, forgetting momentarily about his…issue. Suddenly it was all normal again as Wally cheered, Artemis glared and slapped her forehead, and Roy had on a –I'm-happy-and-smug-but-too-cool-to-show-it-smile on his face.
