Hi everyone, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you all have a really great 2014 and I wish you all the best of luck with whatever you want to accomplish this year!

Here's the next chapter, and to clear things up, I am not going to explain any further about why the villagers are afraid of the Team. I don't want the readers to know anything more than the Team do about this – it's up to your imagination – a bit of mystery for you. But if you want to hear my own original ideas of that back story, then go ahead and ask for it in a review and I'll let you know when I reply in the next chapter :)

Also, to everyone who has checked out BlueJayRobin's story, thanks a lot! She's new to this, but I think she's off to a good start so thanks for the support! :D

The Agent Of Fire: Ah, you're thinking ahead! I was going to explain that in this chapter so read on! Don't worry about not reviewing for the last chapter, I don't mind when you review! But honestly, I don't mind if it only says 'good job', because then at least I know I'm doing a good job! Hahaha, Happy New Year! I hope you have a good one ;)

Yuu101cutie: I've done this chapter in the view of the other three as requested :D But yeah, your first question has been answered above, and as for the medical supplies. I think that M'Gann would have some, but the thing is, what's the point in medical supplies if no one knows how to use them? The Team get themselves into heaps of trouble all the time! But they're learning, and they're going to make mistakes! I hope you enjoy this next chapter and thank you so much for showing some support on BlueJayRobin's new story! I know she'll appreciate it, and I appreciate it too! So thanks and a Happy New Year to you! :D

MergirlZ: Thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate you taking the time to tell me what you like about my writing! I hope you enjoy the rest of the story, and Happy New Year! :)

Foniko: BECAUSE I ENJOY MAKING THINGS DIFFICULT! I lie, I don't enjoy making things difficult for the Team, or giving the readers heart attacks – but I really love reviews like yours. They make me laugh so much, I just saw 'HERMIGAWD' and burst out laughing! Thanks for entertaining me and thanks for reviewing! Happy New Year! :D

To the chapter!

As the opening of the Bio-ship closed behind Aqualad, Superboy and Miss Martian, Wally couldn't help but feel nervous. What if something happened to them? He knew that they were all three of them capable heroes, so maybe it was just the snow storm that was putting him on edge? It did look scary out there after all, it was still day time, but the sheer amount of snow that had been falling had given it the appearance of night time. Either way, Wally wasn't sure whether they were the ones he should be more scared for. Even as he thought about the other half of his Team, Robin was laying down on the floor where Connor had carefully placed him and was completely still.

Artemis was kneeling next to the young teenager; she once again placed her palm on Robin's forehead and winced inwardly at the heat of it. It was obvious that Robin had a fever, and it made sense that he should be ill after everything he had been through recently. But what Artemis didn't know was what she needed to know the most: how to make him better. Just by looking at Wally's face, the archer knew that he was feeling just as guilty as she was. Robin wouldn't even be in this position right now – and M'Gann, Connor and Kaldur wouldn't be risking themselves – if they had only paid attention five months ago.

First aid was a skill that the Young Justice team needed to know, not just wounds and injuries but illnesses and fatal diseases too. Robin wasn't present during this session; he was away on Gotham business with Batman. But he didn't need to be present because Batman had long since made Robin the master of all remedies and patch-ups. Black Canary had been left with the arduous task of rallying the remaining teenagers together to teach them first aid. Canary had always enjoyed teaching the Team, she found it genuinely rewarding, but even she knew that trying to get them to pay attention to a demonstration-based class would be difficult at best.

Artemis distinctly remembered paying close attention during the CPR, wounds and breakages part of first aid – she had even taken notes and practised wrapping M'Gann up like a mummy in sterilised bandages. But as soon as the talk had turned to disease and had gotten more technical, the attention had been lost. But it wasn't only her attention that seemed strained, everyone else's had clearly wandered too. Now each and every one of them was regretting it, the only person on their Team who would know what to do about this situation was lying on the floor desperately trying to keep his grip on his consciousness.

"Robin, can you hear me?" Artemis asked, turning her attention back to Robin. Wally looked down at the pale form on the ground and realised that his mouth was slowly turning up into a smirk. Even though Wally was happy to see that smile, it didn't quite look right on the white face that had deep red blotches on both cheeks. After a moment or two of struggling to move his head to see Artemis' face, Robin nodded weakly.

"Connor, Kaldur and Megan went to get you help." Wally said, trying to fill the silence. Once again Robin's only reply was a nod, but he seemed to be trying to work up to speaking. Artemis signalled for Wally to sit down, after all he had been pacing around the ship without stopping and Artemis knew that it would eventually begin to annoy her: and probably sooner rather than later. Wally felt awkward staying as still as he was after placing himself on the other side of Robin, but as he looked down at the young acrobat in front of him and looked up to see Artemis' frightened expression he knew that the situation was far too serious to worry about his own discomfort.

"Are they – going to be – alright?" Robin finally managed to ask in broken words, taking in raspy breaths in between. The Team's youngest watched Wally for an answer. Wally had been about to moan at Robin for worrying about them rather than himself, but Artemis held a hand up and instead turned Robin's head to face her and nodded at him kindly. Robin somehow managed another smile and Artemis felt proud of herself for putting Robin's mind at rest.

"Don't worry about them, Robin, they volunteered to go. All three of them can handle the cold weather out there." Artemis soothed. Robin relaxed for a moment, which was good under his circumstances. At least his Team was being logical, but the fact that they even needed to go for help told Robin that they had no idea what they were doing. Canary had told the Boy Wonder a while back that she had taught them everything that they needed to know, including basic procedure when looking after someone with Robin's symptoms. Robin knew that he had influenza, but his teammates didn't seem to recognise that. Still, the flu could be fatal if he wasn't taken care of soon, so at least they were doing the right thing without even really realising it.

Robin was about to tell the others outright that he had the flu, just so that they could know and maybe try to wrack their memories in search of their knowledge on the virus. But instead the young teenager felt a horrible stabbing, hot pain in his stomach that forced him to haul himself onto his hands and knees and empty his stomach onto the floor of the Bio-ship. Artemis and Wally jumped back in shock and disgust, Artemis had to turn away to avoid vomiting herself. Meanwhile, the speedster saw Robin's arms and legs shaking under the difficulty of holding himself up and rushed over to relieve his efforts. As soon as Robin felt Wally's arms wrap themselves around his torso he let go of himself and let his best friend catch him.

"Let's move you somewhere else. Are you going to throw up again, Rob?" Wally asked quietly. Robin didn't respond; he didn't even move his head. Pressing his lips together in a hard line, Wally heaved Robin over so that he could study his face for any sign of consciousness. But this time, there was none. With a blanket of panic swallowing Wally up, the speedster looked to the only other person there for comfort, "Stop freaking out over there and help me, blondie!" Maybe that wasn't the best phrase to convey fear.

Artemis turned around with a whirl, looking a little bit green, and frowned at Wally, "I am not freaking out!" She insisted aggressively. Shortly after seeing that Wally wasn't trying to annoy her, she fixed her eyes on the kid in his arms instead. He wasn't moving, his whole face was red, and his expression was twisted into one of pain. Artemis silently cursed herself for forgetting about what was more important here. She rushed over to Wally and helped him to place Robin down on the ground. The archer removed Robin's cape and folded it up so that his head wouldn't have to rest on the hard ground of the Bio-ship.

It baffled both Wally and Artemis at how quickly Robin had gone from conscious and speaking, to unconscious. Looking at his watch, Wally was shocked at how much time had passed, surely M'Gann, Connor and Kaldur should have made it back – it had been a full hour. But seeing the look on Artemis' face, the speedster could tell that any more bad news and the girl in green might spontaneously combust. It made him feel oddly vulnerable to see someone so strong looking so helpless. He watched the ninja's face pityingly, and tried desperately to think of what he should do: what Black Canary had tried to teach him to do.

"Does M'Gann have a first aid kit on this thing? Maybe if we looked through it we could find something to help him. I mean we're just sitting here doing nothing." Wally ranted, angered by his own ignorance. Artemis didn't reply to him and that only made him even angrier. Didn't she at least have the decency to talk to him, or comfort him? Hell, he'd even take an argument right now. But then his blood ran cold as Artemis' voice spoke in a whisper through the uncomfortable quiet, "Is he breathing?"

Three miles east of the Bio-ship:

"Why can't you just set up a mind-link again?" Superboy shouted over the loud howling of the wind towards M'Gann. He had said that he could handle the cold, but he had thought they would only be gone quarter to a half hour. It had definitely been longer that and he was officially beginning to feel his human side, he was beginning to get cold. Really cold. Not that he would tell either of his companions, they didn't need any more stress than they were already dealing with. In a group, the three of them had been walking in a straight line for a while now and they were all completely exhausted and irritated at both themselves and everything else.

"I keep trying! There are only three reasons that I wouldn't be able to connect with them," M'Gann shouted back, covering her eyes from the still heavily falling snow. The Martian had long since taken off her cape because it had been moving around in the wind so violently that she had almost been strangled by it a few times. Looking between Aqualad and Superboy's faces, M'Gann concluded, "The first is that we're out of my telepathic range, the second is that there's something wrong with the Bio-ship and it's interfering with my abilities and the third is, well, they're dead."

"They're not dead!" Superboy growled. He refused to allow that one to be a possibility. Well, Robin had looked really bad when they had left an hour ago. No – Artemis and Kid Flash were taking care of him. Superboy shook his head and then asked another question that had been on his mind for a long time, "Why are we walking? We could be walking further and further away from the Bio-ship."

"We are walking because I was hoping to get some perspective from higher ground," Aqualad informed Superboy. The Kryptonian looked up at his leader as if he was insane, but Aqualad grabbed his shoulders and turned him around. Aqualad watched as his two teammates looked around at where he had been leading them, he thought he saw one of them smile through the snow. The other, Superboy, had begun to shiver. Connor had not noticed that the three of them had been walking up a slight slope that whole time that they were walking, and from where they now were they could see everything. Aqualad smirked at Superboy when they had regained eye contact and he said, "See? Perspective."

Superboy smiled and nodded at Kaldur, the guy was clearly more tactical than he had originally given him credit for. Superboy nodded and just as they were about to continue walking, M'Gann shouted over to roaring winds again with that same smile fixed on her face, "I don't see any of that perspective that you were talking about Kaldur, but I do see my Bio-ship!"

Back at the Bio-ship:

Wally put his cheek just next to Robin's mouth and waited to feel any hint of a breath against his face, or maybe hear it. But he didn't. The moment that he had heard Artemis ask whether his best friend was breathing, he had immediately gotten focused. The speedster forgot that he didn't know anything about medicine and disease, and he forgot that Artemis was trying to speak to him. Instead, he thought logically.

Wally opened up Robin's mouth and checked his airways to see whether they were clear, then he checked the kid's pulse too. Robin's airways were undisturbed and his pulse was there, if way too fast. Then Wally sat back and saw that the pained expression on the acrobat's face had deepened and he decided to try something different. Kid Flash turned Robin onto his side and then put two of his fingers just beneath his nose and waited again. To his complete and utter relief, he felt two warm breaths land on him before he was satisfied enough and took his hands away.

Wally leant away from the small body in front of him and shut his eyes, letting out a long sigh. That may have been one of the most terrifying experiences that he had been graced with for years, and Artemis hadn't done anything to help him. That made no sense, after the incident with the Reds the archer had been acting all high and mighty because she had fired a shot to activate the electromagnetic pulse emitter – that he had told Robin how to make – and disabled them for a while. She had even received a rare compliment from the Dark Knight's protégé for 'getting traught'. But just then she had frozen.

"What's wrong with you? If someone isn't breathing you don't just sit back and wait for someone else to deal with it!" Wally burst out after basking in relief for a while. Artemis looked up sharply at Wally, but it wasn't her usual irritated expression, this expression was one of hurt and guilt. The speedster barely noticed though, instead he kept going, "Canary said that you knew what you were doing when it came to first aid! She said you would know what to do! I had no idea what I was doing just then, but you knew how to save him and you just sat there. How – How could you? We could've lost Robin."

The two young heroes just sat and stared at each other tensely for a moment or two. Kid Flash kept a constant eye on Robin, making sure that his chest was still moving and he was still living. Even as he continued to stare down Artemis, Wally was continually thinking of what would be better to do. Find something in the Bio-ship to try and help Robin? Or wait for the others to get back with a doctor? Where were the others anyway? Wally found himself completely torn between the two choices; if he tried to help Robin himself something could so easily go wrong. But if they waited for the doctor, then Robin might not hold out until said doctor arrived.

Wally's head was brought crashing down from the clouds when he heard Artemis whimper something to him. He hadn't been paying attention to her, but Artemis had started to cry. She was the most annoying, abusive person on the Team: but when he looked at her crumbling to pieces in front of him, he felt his heart crumbling with her.

"I'm so useless," Artemis whimpered, "I thought I was over this. I knew what to do, I knew that it was Robin, my friend, but I just couldn't move."

Thanks for reading, and a Happy New Year to everyone!
