Chapter 2

Kid Flash POV

I remember a time when I saw Robin smile for the first time. I know that he actually does smile a lot, but those are normally just smirks or small forced smiles. But when I first saw him truly smile, I felt like there was nothing else that really mattered.

It was when Robin went to school with me together; he honestly didn't need to take school because of him being already knowledgeable, but he goes for the sake of his identity. Even if he doesn't say it out loud, I know he also goes because he wants to be with his friends.

We were in the break room during lunch and it was just me, Artemis and Robin. We were just casually talking about how classes are and random drama stuff until I accidentally pushed my chair too far back and knocked over. I landed square on my back and just kind of laid there for a moment. There was a short opening of silence until I could just hear Robin from the side bursting out laughing. I looked up from my position on the floor and stared in awe. All I could see was Robin with his iconic sunglasses and his mouth curved into a smile and laughing; he was genuinely laughing. And it wasn't that he was laughing at me, but he was laughing because it brought him joy. I could even see Artemis in the corner of my peripheral vision just staring a Robin in shock.

After the initial outburst, he had calmed down and was just slightly giggling. He looks me square in the eye and smile like there was no tomorrow. I felt embarrassed and I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks. I was blushing.

Not wanting for him to see my blushing tried to look away, but his smile was just like the sun that was awakening from a dark and dreary night. It was beautiful; he was beautiful. I wanted to tell him how he looked. But I knew that I would just be turned down. I know Robin a bit better than others, and I know when a guy has sights for a person. And that person wasn't me; it was Barbra Gordon, Batgirl.

I knew Barbra, not personally, but I know that he and a lot of people are on the same side so I just know her as acquaintances. I could see the looks that Robin has when he looks at her. I wanted so badly to go up to him and tell him that she wouldn't be worth it, but I knew that it would just break the friendship between us. After all, I know what can happen to a guy if you tear their only one from them.

I knew that my dream would be an empty one, but if it meant that my friend could have possible happiness, then it would be worth it. After all, we were just friends.

I knew that with the recent events, I will never see that smile anymore, or his laughter. I knew that I probably destroyed the relationship between us and anything else that was with that. No more missions, no more friendship, no more smiles, and no more Robin. I had sadly come to a realization that all the things that made me happy were from him, and now that he wouldn't be there any longer, I won't have anything that would keep me happy. I look at the double doors in front of me and feel the coldness seeping in. I knew that I had to.

Robin POV

I was awakened with the feeling of dull pain. It wasn't recent either. It felt old and far, but still there. In a panic, I snapped open my eyes and sat up. Big mistake. The far and dull pain suddenly became a crippling feeling of searing, white agony down my spine and all the way down to the bottom of my abdomen then suddenly cutting off at the hips. I doubled over in hopes of reliving any of the pain that had come over me, only to feel even more of it from my ribs. I open my eyes not realizing that I had closed them, and looked around. I could see Bruce next to me and lifting a hand to place it on my leveled back, but then stopped and pulled it back. After the pain had subsided back to the dull soreness, I slowly sat upright and looked at him.

I was in shock. I know who Batman is. He is my mentor, my guardian, and probably the person who understands me most in the world, but this wasn't him. The Batman that I knew didn't have bags under his eyes, he didn't look like he remembered his parent's violent death, and he certainly didn't have streams of dried tears running down his face. I was about to question his unnatural appearance, but he beat me to it.

"Hello Dick." His voice was rough and husky, but more so than normal. He was clearly doing something to strain his voice, and for someone like him, that was a lot. He placed a hand on my shoulder and gave me a half-hearted smile.

"W-what happened?" I was taken back by the sound of my voice. This wasn't mine. I tried to cough to remove anything that may have been interrupting me from speaking, but my through hurt too much to do so. So instead I had given him the motion of wanting a piece of paper and a pencil. He handed me a note pad and a pencil along with a glass of water. I had graciously taken it and drank the water.

'What happened? Why am I in the infirmary?' I finished writing and passed him the note pad. He read it for a moment and set it down.

"Dick, you were in an accident." My eyes widened. What? I was about to right more, but he grabbed my hand that reached for the note pad and held it. "I need you to listen Dick, this wasn't you fault, and it defiantly wasn't anyone's on the team, so I need you to say calm." I nodded. "Okay. I will start from the beginning so you understand."

I was still. The air in the room had gotten eerily silent. I didn't want to believe it; I couldn't. I was in a coma for about a week, and that was honestly normal for me because of my job, but I wasn't ready for the initial news.

I was paralyzed from the waist down.

Bruce had told me that there was a possibility that it would not be permanent, but as of right now, there was no way to fix it. It was first that I was in denial, but then, the truth of the situation had crashed down. I needed to see the team; I needed to see my friend, I needed Wally.

I asked Bruce to bring in the team. He said that he would and that the others would be happy to see me. I was relived. I was able to be in an environment that would allow me to relax and quite possibly help me recover faster.

I was relieved to see everyone here with me.

Megan was the first one to come see me. She was careful to not touch me, which kind of disappointed me. But none the less, she cheered me up with her usual talk about how she missed me and how things were going on in the cave. I was appreciative of her informing me and updating me on the recent events that have happened while I was out. But I felt sadness creep in on the sides of my head when she mentioned that Wally was taking this the worst. Overall however, she told me that things are relatively well and that also my condition was improving. While she was talking, I could see the other walk in and greet me and tell me how much they are happy to see me awake. I was happy to see them all… all but Wally. I asked Aqualad why it was that he was not here, but he just told me that he wasn't here.

I wasn't an idiot. I Robin, Boy Wonder, could tell when someone was lying. The air around me had become somewhat sinister and I asked in a firm voice to Aqualad again.

"Where is Wally?" He looked surprised at my mood change. He sighed and looked at me straight in the eyes. Everyone had become quiet at this point.

"Kid flash is not able to be here as of this moment. He is still deep in depression of what it is that he believes to be his fault and will not allow himself to see you." I was taken back with how bluntly he had put it, but didn't show it. Knowing Wally, if I didn't stop this now, he would only get worse.

"I want you to get him for me." Aqualad looked like he was going to protest, but cut him off. "I don't care what it is that you have to do, but I need to see him now."

"No, I am sorry Robin, but Aqualad is right, you need to rest and you shouldn't be stressed about Wally. He will come see you when he is ready." I look over to the person that had said that. To my surprise, it was actually Captain Marvel. He looked a little grim, but had his normal aura of light around him.

"Look I know that you guys are worried for me okay, and I get it. But you don't understand, I need to see him." I could still see the looks on all of their faces and was starting to get annoyed. "Listen, It's either you come and bring him here, or I will personally drag myself across the entire place to look for him and talk to him." They were silent. Fine.

I pulled my legs to the side and began to slide off the bed. I could, or rather couldn't feel the floor beneath me, and it felt so alien, but I pushed on and landed on the floor. I could feel two arms reach under my arm pits and try to haul me up. I turned around the best I could and tried to punch that person hard in the face. Only for it to be stropped by Bruce. "Robin…" He started. No, I wasn't going to let him.

I full out twisted by body as hard as I could and tried to roll out of his grip. When I found out that I couldn't, I flailed as violently as I could.

"YOU GUYS DON'T UNDERSTAND, I NEED TO SEE HIM RIGHT NOW!" I would feel myself being dragged onto the bed and two pairs of arms holding me down, one on each arm.

"Robin!" It was Bruce, "You need to calm down, if you don't, I will sedate you!" No, I didn't want to be sedated, that would mean I would have to sleep it off, and then I won't be able to see Wally. That mean the longer I don't get to talk to him, the more he will blame himself. I stopped my struggles and calmed. I was still angry and wanted to leave, but I knew it won't get my anywhere. Then finally Bruce spoke.

"Miss Martian, I want you to go get Kid Flash." Finally. I could see that she nodded and density shifted downwards into the lower floor. I sat back and heard majority of the team leave as well as some others who had entered the room like Red Tornado, and Black Canary. Right now, it was just me and Bruce. I sat back and closed my eyes. I wasn't going to rest, but I was going to take a break. The outburst had tired me and had brought back the pain in my ribs, but had slowly began to dissipate. Now it was just a matter of waiting.

I hope you enjoyed it. Please Review!
