Cat: She's back.
FudoTwin17: Yeah. I just feel really upset. Along with my allergies, the shows really were canceled. I started crying and saying inappropriate things at bad times, and I hate things like that. The thing is that I was secretly hoping to do the in-school performance anyway, but we didn't. And we had to take down the set today. I started crying while I was doing it. I was so upset. It's just that we put so much work into the show for it to only be messed up. As well as that, I had a lead role and the people at the high school (I'm going there next year) who had leads last year now play the parts of the house and the soldiers in the Wizard of Oz. Some don't have one line. It's just so upsetting. I don't know if I'll ever get a part so big and I don't want to sit realizing that the biggest flood in sixty years in my town ruined my day. It just hurts. Okay, I've ranted enough. I love you all for being there. Thank you. I don't own Young Justice. Once again, this fic is dedicated to Fighter1357. Thank you for everything.
Allergies
"Uh! It's so not-not-" Wally paused trying to think of a word that would help him explain his messy feelings.
"Whelming?" Robin suggested from behind him.
The entire team had assembled in the kitchen as Megan had called them for cookies. To be nice and supportive of her Earthen hobby, they had all come to try her food. Besides, she had been getting better since her first batch of burnt cookies. As well as that, if they didn't eat them, Wally would. Therefore, no harm, no foul.
"Yes! It's not whelming!" Wally complained. "We haven't had a mission in FOREVER!"
"That's okay." Zatanna replied, sitting down next to Robin. "If they don't give us one soon, we'll just make ourselves one. Besides, from what I've seen, you people attract trouble like moths to a flame."
"Sad, but true." Kaldur agreed, hovering over Robin.
Artemis shrugged, leaning on the wall next to the boy wonder.
Conner just stood on Wally's side, wondering if he should sit or something. It wasn't like he was tired or anything.
Then Megan flitted over with a pair of kitten oven mitts and a tray full of cookies. A smile spread across her face. "Oh, good! You're all here!" She set the tray in front of them, letting a delicious smell fill the air. They had been baked to a warm, tan perfection.
Leaning in, Wally started to drool. "Babe, you rock my world."
Conner gave an unnoticeable glare in Wally's direction.
"Hey! Don't eat them all before we even touch 'em!" Artemis exclaimed, snatching a cookie from Wally's hand. She pulled up a chair next to Robin, chewing on a small bite from the cookie. However, it wasn't long before the cookie was gone.
Robin took his gingerly with everyone else. He nibbled on it, but found that it was amazing. He'd never had such an amazing cookie in his life! It wasn't long until he had another one in his hand. "Thanks, Megan. These are asterous."
Megan smiled. "Thank you, Robin."
He nibbled on it, ignoring the itching of his throat. Zatanna leaned up against Robin slightly, seeing whether or not he would pull away. He didn't.
"So, how have your days been?" Kaldur asked.
Megan smiled. "I had the best time! I went to cheerleading practice and it was amazing! I made a new friend. Her name is Emily."
Conner nodded. "It was fine."
Wally smirked, leaning back as if he were a cool kid, but failing as he had three cookies in his hand and one in his mouth. "I dumbfounded another girl with my wonderfulness."
Robin rolled his eyes under the mask. "Yeah, right. You probably just scared her so badly that she couldn't speak." Before Wally could respond, Artemis burst into laughter. In a moment, everyone (but Wally) had joined in. Robin rubbed his throat uncomfortably.
"Oh? Well if I'm so bad, why don't you tell us about your day at school?" Wally dared the other boy.
Robin simply looked at him. "It was fine. No details. Bats would have my head."
Artemis rolled her eyes. "Well, I got a date to our school dance." Her eyes flitted to Wally, who had choked on his cookie at the sentence.
"What? Who?" Wally demanded, forgetting entirely about the cookies in his hand.
She smirked. "Why? You jealous?" Her dark eyes glittered mysteriously.
Wally's eyes widened. He leaned back and went back to eating. "No way. Why on earth would I be jealous of some poor guy who probably got forced to going to the dance with you, farty-Arty?"
Before said girl could march over and choke the living life out of the speedster, Zatanna spoke up. "I had a good day. I got out of doing the running the rest of my PE class were doing, too." She smiled, fondly thinking of the boys drenched in sweat.
Robin started coughing, slightly. He, however, easily sat back up and acted as if it had never happened. Zatanna glanced back worriedly.
"I spent my day in Atlantis with my king." Kaldur said.
"Cool." Artemis said. "What's it like underwater?"
"You know." Wally retorted, showing off the chewed cookie in his mouth. "It's underwatery."
Robin's hand went up to scratch the side of his mouth after he took another bite of his cookie. His mouth felt dry even as he spoke. "Underwatery? How imaginative." To Wally's dismay, Zatanna and Artemis both let out slight bits of laughter.
That's when Wally noticed it, while he was glaring at Robin. His hand was at his throat and the side of his mouth was slightly red.
Wally blinked. "Dude, are you wearing lipstick?"
"What?" Robin asked, setting down the cookie to stare at Wally incredulously.
"Lipstick. Are you?" He repeated.
Robin frowned. "No." He just stood when he started coughing again and had to lean on the table for support. However, instead of stopping immediately, he collapsed onto his knees, throat burning.
"Robin!" Zatanna exclaimed, getting on her knees beside him.
Robin looked up at Megan, coughing. Between coughs, he managed to get out a small question. "Wha-What did . . . . What are in th-the cookie-s?"
Megan, shaking from head to toe, frowned. "I-I-Chocolate, sugar, uh, p-peanuts-"
"Peanuts!" Robin's eyes widened behind the sunglasses before he fell onto his back and pulled up his sweatshirt to reveal his belt. His hands were shaking too hard to grab what he needed though. The entire team assembled worriedly beside him.
"Zatann-na, third belt-lef-left-" Then he started coughing too hard for them to understand. Fearfully, Zatanna fumbled with the pocket, trying to open it.
"He's not breathing!" Kaldur exclaimed, opening his friends mouth as if to give him more open room or ability to breathe. The entire team was shocked to see swelling and how red it was, in some spots bleeding from his bad coughing fits.
Zatanna pulled out a EpiPen. Immediately, she understood. After uncapping it, she stabbed it into his leg through his skinny jeans. She flinched at the rough feel of pulling it out of his leg. After a moment, waiting for some recognition that he was breathing, the boy groaned, turning his head. The team sighed in relief. Conner picked him up, leaving the rest of the team behind as he headed toward the infirmary.
. . .
When Robin opened his eyes, Megan was sitting right next to him. Blinking, he looked around. He was in the infirmary (even if he could hardly remember what had happened, he'd been in there enough times to recognize it) and he had four blankets pulled up to his chin. He had a feeling that was Conner's fault.
His eyes went to the resident Martian. She was slumped over on his bed.
But why? Usually when he got hurt, Wally or Zee were the ones by his bedside. He supposed they left to sleep or something. But that didn't answer the question.
She let out a little moan, blinking and looking up at him as he repositioned himself so that he wasn't crushed under the blankets. Seeing him, she blinked. Wondering if she had mentally died or zoned out, he waved. "Hi."
Then her eyes teared up and she launched herself at him. He could feel her hiccups and sobs on his shoulder. "I-I'm so-sorr-y! I-I shoul-d have st-noticed! I'm-" At that point her sobs were too horrible to understand what she was saying.
He frowned, knowing he couldn't get out of the hug if he wanted to. Okay, what happened? He had a rough time in Gotham, but that couldn't have been it since she was acting so badly. It must have been here. He had been in the kitchen. Everyone was there to taste her cookies-
His eyes widened, realizing what happened. He wrapped his arms around her, stroking her hair soothingly. "It's okay, Megan. You couldn't have known."
"Bu-But-"
"No buts." He said moving her so that he could look her in the eye through his sunglasses. "You didn't know. It's not your fault." She looked like she was going to burst into another volley of tears. He couldn't have that. "Besides, secretly I like peanut butter. Those were the best cookies I've ever had." Really, he loved Alfred, but the peanut butter was too amazing. "It's okay. But other than that whole ordeal, I really think that your cooking has improved."
She laughed, whipping away her tears the best she could. She didn't want to cry, but it was so hard not to. She had caused the entire problem.
Seeing Megan's doubt, Robin rubbed her shoulder. "You know, you weren't the first to make that mistake."
Megan looked at him in confusion. "What?"
Realizing he had caught her attention, he began to tell her the stories. "You see, Batman and I had just been getting adjusted to each other and he had brought me a protein bar. It was full of nuts, peanuts included. He freaked out." He smiled to himself. "And then, my second year as Robin, Flash and Hawkman were watching me for Batman and Flash made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I didn't realize it was peanut butter until I was a third of the way into the sandwich! Flash got beat up by the Batman about a week later in training." This time Megan laughed. "Then, my third year as Robin, I was at a party and they were serving brownies with peanuts in them. That didn't end so well." He smirked. It was rather ironic that a circus kid with a stuffed elephant named Peanut was allergic to peanuts. "Oh, and just last year-" He caught himself. "Never mind. Too scary for you. You don't want to hear it."
"Yes, we do!" Said a very excited voice from the doorway. He watched as the rest of the team, including Kid Flash who had said that, filed in and sat around him.
"Um, not a good story, guys." Robin disagreed.
"We're heroes." Artemis pointed out. "I'm sure we can handle it."
Conner nodded in agreement.
Zatanna touched his arm encouragingly.
Robin looked around at the team uncomfortably.
Kaldur saw his face. "If Robin does-"
"Fine." Robin interrupted. "But you can't interrupt and you have to promise never to mention it. Ever."
Kaldur blinked. "Robin, you do not if you don't want to-"
"It's okay, Kal. Besides, I know you want to know too." Robin smirked. They were quiet, waiting for the story. "Okay. It starts like this . . . ."
FudoTwin17: And I end it. If you review, I'll give you the story next time I update this story. Honestly, though, now that I've written this, I'm all giddy. It's creepy. Okay, bye guys. Review.
