(Date: Monday - Time: 9:30- Location: Mount Justice)
It had been a week and a day. Since they had been told that Robin would live. Since they had been told that their little brother was paralyzed. Since they had been told that their little bird would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Despite Batman's promise that they would see Robin soon, they were all doubting that would ever happen.
That morning found Aqualad sitting in the living room, reading a book about Atlantis sorcery. He was getting better at it; learning simple tricks in his spare time. It wasn't the same as missions, which even Batman didn't have the heart to give them. Not without Robin. Maybe not ever without Robin.
Red Arrow and Artemis were training, each trying to outdo the other. Kid Flash hadn't been to the Mountain for three days. No one bothered asking where he was, or when, if ever, he would be back. M'gann and Superboy were somewhere in the Kitchen, baking cookies. Or cake. Or pie. Or whatever M'gann had decided to bake today.

Suddenly, it was like the mountain was filled with elephants. Robin and Kid Flash both smiled as the five other heroes arrived. Suddenly they stopped short, hovering around the two 'brothers'. All ten eyes were glued to Robin. More specifically; Robin's wheelchair.
"Errr hi," Robin mumbled, weakly smiling at them. Silence.
"Guys?" Kid Flash asked, shooting them all glares behind Robin's back.
"Robin!" M'gann finally squealed, flying over to give him a tight hug. Superboy followed, smiling just a little. Red Arrow, Artemis, and then Aqualad all greeted him in turn.
"Well, let's celebrate," Kid Flash cried, throwing up him hands. And just like that, it was like everything was normal. And perfect. At least for now…
(Date: Thursday - Time: 7:20- Location: Mount Justice)
It'd been six months since Robin had first come to the Mountain paralyzed. And two months since they'd seen him. The team were to their limits with worry. Why wouldn't the league tell them anything? Was he in trouble? Was he hurt? Did something happen? Did he just decide to give up on the Team since he couldn't be a hero anymore?
Kid Flash was burning a hole in the floor with his pacing. Literally. And for once, Artemis didn't yell at him for it. The rest of the team just watched him, each wishing that someone would tell them anything.

"ROBIN!" Kid Flash yelled, speeding over to the two new arrivals. The rest of the team laughed, half in relief, and half at the sounds of Kid Flash tackling the younger hero. Red Arrow was the first to reach the others, grinning.
"Ok, KF get off Robin before you-…Robin?"
"Yup?"
"You're walking."
"Yup."
"By yourself."
"Yup."
"You're not paralyzed anymore…"
"I'll be in the all clear after a few more months of therapy." Robing was about to say more, but he was tackled by Kid Flash again, who was laughing like a lunatic with happiness. The two were quickly joined my Red Arrow, who was also laughing like a lunatic.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Artemis snapped as the rest of the team finally made it into the entrance.
"Robin can walk, Robin can walk," The three chanted hysterically. A few seconds of silence, and then a scream of excitement. It was safe to say that the teens threw the best party both The Justice League and The Team had ever had.
