Wally stretched as he walked down the empty halls of Mount Justice, Batman had taken Robin home a few moments ago. It was now some where around one in the morning and he was in need of a bed. Coming to his door he typed in his code and the door slid open, entering his room he ignored his light and started removing his shirt. When the door was closed he rubbed his now bare stomach and walked to his bed.

As he sat down he kicked off his shoes and rolled under the blankets, his body freezing as he came in to contact with a soft form. Reaching out he tapped his bed side lamp and winced as the room lit up. Looking beside him he watched as Artemis slowly opened her eyes with a soft curse.

"Artie?", he used his nickname for her as he looked down at her. When her eyes adjusted she looked up at him and rolled her eyes before sitting up.

"You weren't supposed to come back to the mountain", she grumbled as she stretched but made no move to get off his bed.

"Yeah well I didn't have the energy to get to Star so I came back here to crash, wait I thought you went home?", she lifted her knees and hugged them to her chest.

"I didn't feel like dealing with my mom, so I came back", she didn't look at him and Wally narrowed his eyes.

"Then crash in your and M'gann's room", she turned un-enthusiastic eyes on him and shook her head.

"She talks in her sleep like you wont believe, the couches aren't comfortable, and Robin's room creeps me out. Last logical choice, here.", he processed her words and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Ok but problem with your logic….Im here now", she stretched up and Wally couldn't help but watch as her tang-top rose up her body a few inches. As she settled she laid back against the pillows and he turned to look down at her.

"Stay on your side of the bed and I wont shoot you", she shrugged and Wally almost let his mouth drop open. What had she just said?

"You cant be serious?".

"Dead, good night Wally", she turned away from him and snuggled down into the blankets. Wally shook off his shock and laid back against his pillow, he had planned to kick off his jeans but now decided he definitely liked them on. Reaching over he tapped off the light and tried desperately to imagine himself alone in his bed so he could fall asleep.

"Night Artie", he whispered but he could already hear her soft breathing, she had fallen back asleep.

…...

Dick entered the parlor of the manor slowly, his body numbed with pain meds so he was able to get around a little better. He was now in a pair of black baggy sweat pants and a white beater, his favorite lounge clothes. The manor felt so comforting as he walked through each room, it was familiar to his senses. When he was back at the base of the stairs he heard someone coming down and he looked up, it was Alfred.

"Can I get you anything Master Dick?".

"No thank you Al Im fine", he started up the stairs and watched as Alfred vanished down the stairs as he headed for the kitchen. Half way up the steps Dick paused and held his side, the meds were wearing off. Taking deep breaths he leaned heavily against the banister, gripping it like a life line. His body was so unresponsive and weak, it angered him and made him frustrated. The sudden feeling of a hand on his shoulder sent him into a panic as he spun around and threw a punch before falling back on the steps.

"Get away!", he screamed as he scrambled up a few steps, but the sight of Bruce's worried face made him stop. He was shaking violently and he couldn't stop it, his mind and body responded how it had to, to survive.

"Easy bud it's me", he nodded to show Bruce he understood.

"Im sorry", he whispered as he slowly stood.

"Its fi-hey listen I had Alfred set something up for us in the viewing room, come on", he continued up the stairs and Dick followed. When they reached the viewing room Bruce pushed open the door and Dick went inside. The huge flat screen was currently hooked up to Dick's gamer and two controllers sat on the arms of the recliners. He looked at Bruce and walked over to the chairs to see a table set up between them with sodas, candy, pizza, and various games on it.

"What's this?".

"Father son time", Dick looked at him with slight shock but a smirk crossed his face as he looked back at the screen. Walking to one of the recliners he sat down carefully and watched as Bruce sat down and grabbed a controller eyeing it carefully.

"You are so going down", Dick laughed lightly.

"Just tell me how to work this thing?"

"I shall teach you well student", they both laughed lightly as they settled in to play.

…...

Bruce laid a sleeping Dick into his bed carefully and tucked him in, they had played for hours and Bruce wasn't going to lie, he was beat. The energy it took to play a first person shooter game astounded him. As he left Dick's room he turned back briefly to look upon his son, it was a relief and a heavy weight to have him back.

The road to his recovery would take a while and the team would be without their Robin. But Bruce was going to do everything in his power to make the boy safe and whole again. And to start he was going to ring Joker's neck till he no longer drew air.

Walking down the hall he stopped at the sound of a scream, his adrenaline was moving him before his brain had reason to act. Shouldering open the door he skidded to a stop at the sight of Dick's room covered in blood and the boys mutilated body in his bed. The sound of the Joker's insane laughter filled the room and Bruce screamed.

Jerking awake Bruce looked around wildly before assessing he was moments ago in a dream fuelled by hours of violent video games, sugar, and current events. Looking over to the chair beside him he found Dick curled up in a blanket and sleeping soundly. Taking a deep breath Bruce reclined in his chair and rubbed his face. Apparently Dick was not the only one who was having a hard time.
