Thank you so much all of you for giving me my first story with over 100 reviews! So, not much to say I guess. Um, Okay so this weekend I rented The Dark Knight so I guess that's something.
I don't own YJ, I mean seriously if I did, it probably would have blood in it.

|Wayne Memorial Hospital
"What?" Artemis asked in rage. How could his father not be here? Didn't he care? Why would he leave his son like this when he had been missing for almost twenty four hours? He had been held hostage by three of Gotham's most dangerous criminals! And what does he do? Not show up! What kind of heartless father wouldn't come and see his son?
"We have yet to be able to get in contact with Mr. Wayne. And he needs to get here quick. Richard isn't looking to well."
"Can-can we see him?" M'Gann asked. Though she didn't know the kid he was still only thirteen still just a child. And what scared her more is that Robin was that age. What if it had been Robin instead of this Dick Grayson kid? If only she knew.
Lesley sighed, "I guess, he's unconscious but, you can go in I guess."
Lesley led the team down the hall towards a room. She opened the door and led them in. Dick was lying on a bed. Stark white sheets covered his bare chest. A tub was down his throat and bandages covered his chest and arms, along with around his head. He was pale almost ghost like, his skin almost matching the sheets. His messy hair was damp, and his cheeks were red, showing signs of a fever, possibly from infection or just because of blood loss.
M'Gann gasped as she saw him; he looked so small, so fragile. Artemis couldn't believe that this was the boy that had taken a picture of her the first day of school; he looked so different laying there covered up in bandages. Conner and Kaldur didn't know what to think at the sight of the small boy they had saved. Joker had been planning to kill him and it looked like Joker was intending to finish the job. The boy looked like he had been hit by a train. And if he were awake they were pretty sure he would feel like one hit him too.
"How could one man… just one simple man, do this to someone so innocent?" M'Gann asked.
Lesley sighed again, standing in the door way as she watched the team's reactions. "Joker has done many… horrid things in the past. Like when he first became Joker. He killed what seemed like thousands. He turned people against each other and even took down the white knight of Gotham. He turned the whole city against Batman, for a crime he never committed."
The team turned towards the doctor in shock. "How is Batman a hero now then?" M'Gann asked.
"He says he never was, and never will be a hero. He's a silent guardian, as commissioner Gordon calls him, that comes in our time of need. He's the Dark Knight, not the White. And when the city finally saw that he wasn't against them, they realized what he was. Soon enough the first partner came, I believe you know him as Robin. He was the Boy Wonder to some, to others; he's the Dark Prince of Gotham."
The team thought about the name that some had giving their friend. He didn't seem Dark, why would they call him that? Artemis quickly asked why about the name, Lesley hesitated. She was trying not to give away the secret of her knowing who Batman and Robin really were.
"Well, Robin, he's not as cheery as some believe." The team was shocked at this, "He's more of, how should I say? Double personality? That sounds right. It depends who he's around. I've seen him bright and happy, but also dark and gloomy like his mentor. He strikes fear into any Gotham villain just as well as Batman can. He's serious about his work, and would do anything, even give his own life, to protect those who are innocent. Same with Batman."
"Then why weren't they there for him?" Conner snapped. "They weren't here to help him! And now look at him! He's laying here on his death bed! Waiting for a father that doesn't even decide to show up! He's dying and that rich scumbag doesn't even care!"
"Superboy, you know why Batman wasn't there!" Artemis snapped back, trying to defend her friend and her friends mentor. "We also know why Robin's not here! Batman was going after the supposed bombs! If he had taken the chance and gone after the kid Joker could have blown up the city! No one knew if the bombs were real! And Robin's out of commission from his last fight with Joker!"
Lesley had had enough of the arguing even if Dick probably wouldn't wake up. "Okay that is enough! You will not be fighting around the young man that I like to think of as my grandson! Now go out and go talk to your other friend!" She said pointing towards the door.
The team had shocked expressions on their faces, but left in shame of knowing they had done wrong. They walked back down the hall way and into Wally's room, the boy was in a baggy T shirt and sweat pants, he was hooked up to a few IVs but nothing more. He also had his KidFlash cowl on.
"Hey guys!" he said cheerfully. Only now noticing their sad expressions, "Uh, who died?"
"Wally," M'Gann said after closing the door. "I have felt a connection with you and this Dick Grayson kid. Do you know him?"
Wally sighed, knowing there was no way of getting out of this one. "He's my friend outside of KidFlash, I've known him for years." It wasn't a lie.
"Wally," Artemis said softly. "If Dick doesn't get a blood transfusion in a little while, he's going to die. His father is the only known donor, and no one knows where he is."
Wally's expression dropped. "He'll come, he always comes." He mumbled softly.

"Bruce!" Lesley yelled through the phone. "Get your butt down here right now!"
"I'm on my way Lesley, what's the problem? Is Dick okay?" Bruce asked worriedly from the other line.
"Bruce, he's not looking too good, you need to get down here fast. He needs a blood transfusion."
"Did you call anyone yet? Is anyone even trying to help him?" Bruce asked worriedly, knowing about Dick's rare blood type.
"We called Star; they were the only hospital close enough that actually had his blood type. Their on the way here but… Bruce… Dick might not last that long. You need to get down here fast."
"I'm coming as fast as I can. Oh, and Lesley?" Bruce asked.
"Yes Bruce?" she asked curiously.
"Keep him alive until I get there."
"I'll do my best Bruce."

The team and Wally were in the hall, waiting for Flash to come check Wally out of the hospital. They hadn't been sitting there long. Mostly they were just staring out the rain covered windows. Did the son ever even come out in Gotham? They guessed it didn't matter. They had had a successful mission, so they guessed that was something. Even if the kid was no on his death bed. But it's not like they could do really anything. None of them were his blood type. They couldn't do anything for him anyway, even if they wanted to.
That's when the doors of the hospital burst open. The team looked at a well muscular man, he was also pretty handsome. His black hair and suit were soaked form being in the rain and he was wearing what looked like a really expensive business suit. He ran up to the check in desk, immediately catching the attention of the young woman behind it, who had been reading a magazine not too long ago.
"M-Mr. Wayne! What are you doing he-?"
"Dick Grayson, what room?" He asked quickly, cutting her off.
"Room E-10, why do-?"
Once again he cut her off with a small 'thank you' and took off down the hall. The team and the lady at the desk stared down the hall in shock. Well, looks like Artemis would have to take back what she said about Bruce Wayne being a heartless father.
Bruce sped down the hall; he stopped at the door and walked in.
"Lesley-" Bruce cut himself off at the sight of his son. Lesley was standing not too far off, checking over the boy. "Oh my gosh."
"Bruce, oh thank goodness you're here!" Lesley ran over and led him away.
Me: Wally is all good and Bruce has come to save the day. Join us next wing on Luate!
Robin: You sound so weird... What are you even doing?
Me: Um, Not sure.
Robin: Review!
