And NOW, for the moment you've all been waiting for...
Robin's POV
I woke up in…a car. Now, normally, this would be the ultimate fist cause of alarm in anyone-especially since I don't remember falling asleep in the car. But, I knew this car. It was Bruce's black Porsche.
By far this had to be my…3rd favorite car. First being my soon-to-be motorcycle-duh. Second, the Bat-mobile, because it was amazing in every sense of the word. So yeah. 3rd favorite.
I looked out the window and instead of the Gotham city lights flashing by, all I saw were open fields full of cows.
"Are you excited, Dick?"
I looked over to see Bruce maneuvering the car through the county roads. Since I had no idea what we were doing, I was slow to respond. "Uh…Yea. Defiantly!" I worked up my excited voice to cover my confusion.
Bruce chuckled at me, "I know we are going to see some people you haven't seen I a long time, so…well, just don't worry about it." He seemed satisfied to leave me with that cryptic comment.
"…well ok then." I responded slowly.
He laughed again and we drove in silence for awhile. We kept going until the fields halted to a black iron fence, a good four feet taller than I was. That's when I figured out where we were going.
I felt my face grow into a huge grin and started squirming in my seat in anticipation. Bruce must have sensed my growing excitement, because he smirked as we turned onto a winding drive. It was lined evenly with huge maple trees with red, orange, and yellow leaves gently falling onto the road.
We reached the big, black gate, the kind that has an initial on each door. The two initials were B and W.
I was practically bouncing in my seat as we approached the colossal mansion in front of us. Yes. We were at the Wayne Estates. And…hang on a second.
There were three people standing at the front door. They look familiar…holy crap! Are those-?
No.
No no no. That can't be them! It can't be…
Back in MedBay…
"Wally! Stop that." Roy smacked the Speedster in the back of the head.
"Ouch! What? It's the only entertaining thing in this place!" Roy had just stopped Wally from continually poking the poor sleeping boy's cheek.
"Well, no one did that to you when you slept." Roy glared at him.
Wally thought for a moment, "I would have." Barry rolled his eyes at his nephew, but said nothing. Roy continued to glare.
"What? I'm bored." Wally defensively told him.
"Go eat something." Roy instructed.
"OK." He responded without hesitation, and sped off leaving behind an awkward tension between Roy, Barry, and Bruce.
Roy shifted on his feet, uncomfortably. Which was weird for Roy, because he normally always knows just what to say. But this was not a normal situation. His little "brother" was…not waking up. "Batman?" the Dark Knight didn't show any signs of having heard him. Roy tried again, "Batman? Are you ok?" Again, no response.
This time Barry joined in, "Bruce, c'mon. Dick will wake up."
Bruce tensed before realizing Roy knew Robin's trued ID. "I know…but…I-I'm worried about him." Roy had never heard Batman sound so…vulnerable.
"Bruce. He will be ok. Just like the other kids were." Barry put his hand on his shoulder.
"I just feel li-"
"That was the most satisfying thing I ever ate, considering the dream I just had about all-you-can buffets." KF sped back into the room with Oreos in hand.
Barry, Bruce, and Roy all moved away from each other.
"Looks like I didn't miss anything." He eyed the sill sleeping Robin.
Roy glared. And now he would never know that Batman was going to say.
Robin's POV
I stared out my window and the people smiled and waved. I really couldn't move.
"Dick? What's wrong? Aren't you excited to see them?" Bruce asked.
"Them" were…well, they were…Jeez, I can't even fathom this.
I got out of the car and slowly faced the three. My mom and dad looked the same as always-dark hair, tan (like me), and same smiles. And the 3rd person there was someone I almost didn't recognize..."Jay?"
"Hey there. Long time no see." She grinned at me. The grin exactly like mine. Her eyes just like mine. Everything about her was. Exactly. Like. Me. Because…Jay is my sister. Twin sister. And she died too, just like my parents who were somehow miraculously standing in front of me.
"So…are you just doing to stare at us, or are you going to invite us in?" Jay teased me, grinning the same grin that now spread across my own face.
That's when it hit me- my parents and Jay were really here (and with Bruce!) and they were alive. That's when I gave that laugh that drove people crazy and rushed up to all of them and created a big Kodak-moment group hug. "Go on in guys!"
Back in MedBay…
Barry, Wally, and Roy were all asleep. Of course they were asleep; it was now 3:20 in the morning! Two hours since Wally had woken up.
Bruce was still protectively watching over his protégé…his son. He didn't know what the other kids had dreamed about (other the Wally with the food) and he was anxious to know what Dick was dreaming about. What if it was about his parents and twin?
He knew Dick never wanted to talk about them, because it always made him so depressed. This caused Bruce's anxiety to go almost into overdrive.
He sat there tensely watching the IV feed for awhile before looking at the sleeping faces of Roy and Wally. Two other people who cared for Dick almost as much as he did. Almost.
He shifted in his seat. "Come on, Dickie. Wake up."
Robin's POV
"Well, as it turns out, we all just ended up in comas. Why they didn't tell you this is beyond me." My mother informed me as she continuously stroked my hair like she did when I was younger. It felt nice.
"Yea…It is weird how they didn't tell me…after all those years…Oh well, why am I complaining? You're here now!"
"Yup." Jay told me.
I had forgotten how alike my sister and I were. Not only do we look almost exactly alike, but we also have that same crazy laugh and same thought process and all of that. Plus, we have the same amazing acrobatic skills-naturally.
"So, Dick…how rusty are you?" She asked with a spark in her eye.
"How rusty?"
"Yes, you know, with the acrobatic skills." I raised my eyebrows at her.
"That sounds like a challenge."
She cackled at me, "Oh, it is."
I grinned in response and replied deviously, "Then you are so on."
Back in MedBay…
It had been 2 days since Wally had woken up.
Bruce, Wally, and Roy had hardly left Rob's side the whole time. The other team members had come to keep them company for a while before leaving, because they couldn't stand the anxiety coming from the three. Only Barry could stay for an extended amount of time and even he had a limit to their worry.
The questions that had simply been nagging them before were now threatening to eat them alive.
He won't think dream. He's going to sleep forever. We're never going to talk to him again. Never see the smile. Never hear the laugh.
These were what they all believed. And all they felt was agony, because of it.
Robin's POV
We were now in the working out spot of the mansion. Complete with the balance beams, punching bags, and, what Jay and I were here for, a trapeze.
"Jeez. You keep all of this in a house?" Dad was wide eyed as he took in the room.
"Well, he is Bruce Wayne." Jay smiled at dad.
"That's true." Dad mused.
I laughed. Again. Well, what can I say? I'm in a good mood, to say the least. "Alright. You wanna warm up first, sis?" I grinned.
"Ah! You just wanna see what you're up against." She smirked as she stretched.
"No," I responded lightly, "I just want to make sure that you know I didn't beat you without giving you a chance to warm up first."
"Oh, sibling love," mom said to Bruce, "Isn't it wonderful?" Bruce cracked a smile at that comment.
Jay rolled her eyes at me. "Whatever you say, Richard." She smiles before lurching herself up to the bars above.
"Now, don't strain yourself, Jasmine." I retaliated.
The adults laughed at us. See? This is why I had missed them all so much.
I watched Jay as she flipped through the air, always looking like she was about to hit the ground before expertly grabbing the bar before lurching back into the air. She did so many perfect flips and spins that I almost didn't notice when she was coming to the finale. She balanced herself carefully atop the bars before leaping off and doing a somersault in the air before landing on her feet directly in front of me.
"Jealous?" She asked, only slightly breathless.
I smiled and said. "Jealous? Please. I could do that in my sleep."
"Uh huh. Well, I'm about to own this competition." Jay said smugly.
"Right Jay. You could only win in your wildest dreams-"
Back in MedBay…
Robin laid there for a minute without opening his eyes and listed to the words around him.
"Batman, he'll wake up soon."
"It's been 3 days."
"I know, but…i-it won't be much longer now."
"That's what I thought after Wally woke up. But no, here it is almost four days later and he hasn't moved." Robin listened to this conversation between Bruce and Barry.
"Don't worry, Batman…" this was Wally talking way softer than Robin thought possible.
"Robin will wake up soon. He has to." Wait. Roy? Wow. Everyone was here.
But the thing Robin couldn't fathom was how worried they all sounded…then his dream flooded into his mind and he felt a pang in his chest as he thought of his parents and…Jay.
Robin opened his sapphire eyes, still covered (after four days, apparently) by his typical sunglasses. He looked and saw Bruce, Barry, Wally, and Roy all standing around him with bags under their eyes and worry all over their faces.
Robin sat up and stretched as best he could while still sitting down.
"Dick!" yelled four people in unison. Bruce rushed to him and pulled him into a hug.
"Hey, Bruce! And…Barry, and Wally, and…Roy!" said the young hacker cheerily.
"Hang on…you're…happy?"
Robin cocked is head, "Uhm…yeah? I mean, I just had a good dream and all so I'm in a good mood." He smiled up at his fatherly figure.
Barry quickly took out the IV feed and the boy jumped out of bed.
"Hang on. You're okay with waking up? What the heck?" Wally asked in exasperation.
Robin cackled and punched him in the arm, jokingly, "Yeah! It was a good dream-better than most I've had that had a similar…subject." He frowned a bit.
Bruce, of course, knew exactly what he must have dreamed about and stepped forward to comfort him, but Wally interrupted, "Ouch! Jeez. Why does everyone like hitting me?" he asked as he rubbed absently at his bicep.
"You sure you're ok?" Roy asked, his concern plain. He worried that Robin was only pretending to be fine when he was secretly hurting.
"Yup. I'm fine!" he grinned up at Roy, "And glad to see you."
Roy gave a rare smile and started to say something when Wally interrupted…again. He punched Robin in the arm, "Hey!" Robin glared.
"Retaliation."
Robin launched himself at the speedster.
Bruce and Barry just shook their heads at the tow and Roy said with a sigh, "That's what I get for having brothers like you tow."
The boys paused in their fight, on the floor. Robin had Wally in a headlock. "Hear that, KF? He said we're his brothers!"
"Yup! And that means you're stuck with us!" Wally informed Roy.
"Really? I'm stuck with you two losers?"
Wally and Robin exchanged a glance (which was awkward for Wally) and innocently responded in unison, "Yup. Pretty much."
AN: So? What do you all think? I am pretty proud of this chapter and I really hope that you all enjoyed it.
Stay tuned for a happily ever after chapter. I will try to post that on Wednesday (which is my birthday! whoo go 15!) So don't forget about it!
Love y'all!
