Batmans P.O.V
I woke up feeling safe and warm in Kals arms. I felt cleaner and as I wrapped my arms back around Kal my movements felt less strained and my skin less sticky, all my sores ached less and my hair felt less knotted.
I looked at the clock and realised I'd slept through a whole day and it was now beginning to be the night of the next. One of Kals supersuits lay burnt on a chair next to the bed, and another clean one lay prepeared next to my comm, so he knew when something happened I supposed.
Footsteps suddenly echoed outside "Dick?! I asked, and I shocked myself by how weak my voice sounded from lack of use.
"Dad!?!" Dick yelled and he quickly ran into the room. He jumped onto the beds edge, jumped over me and Kal and sat down next to me. "Don't worry, me and Batgirl have been patroling and as far as the public knows Bruce Wayne is on holiday." Dick reassured, I turned around and sat up against the wall and he hugged me. I smiled, he really was my son.
"Vertigo!" I remembered "I needed to get him because his eye was making kids sick and he could hurt you." I said to myself,
"Superman's been dealing with him with the help of Green Arrow- he feels really bad about giving you all that extra work because of the law suits by the way." Dick said,
"You're okay?" I asked,
"I'm fine," I checked his pulse just to make sure "Wait. I should be asking you this!" Dick said, he pulled out his comm
"Hi, this is Jhonathan with wigs-for-work, how may I help you?" Barbra asked "You're not on speaker." she said
"He's awake!" Dick yelled
"Batman Is Awa- awsome, yeah he's awsome, I agree, my DAD knows him." Batgirl said and I realised Commissioner Gordon must be home. "DAAAAD! Can I go over to a friends house?!" she called.
"It's late Barb." Commissioner Gordon said back as he walked into the room and the sound of getting shoved under a pillow was heard.
"Pleeease." she begged "Batman wouldn't let me get hurt, he patroles Gotham!" I could practically see her face face light up as she said that
"He's out of town." Commissioner Gordon said
"I can take care of myself! Olympic maybe remember!" Barbra reminded.
"Okay fine," a sigh was heard "Just stay safe and avoid shadows." Commissioner Gordon said
"I thought it was Batman who was attracted to them!" Batgirl called but the sound of wind rushing by and foot steps running was already heard "I'll be there in a second Robin!" she addressed the phone.Wait a minute Dick called me dad. I couldn't stop myself from grinning
"What?" he asked
"You called me dad!" I said, Dick paused
"I didn't realise I did, honstly I didn't know if you'd like it so I don't." he explained
"It's fine." I reassured him, I didn't know how to explain how proud and happy I felt when he called me it.
"Not even going to give me the 'it's Batman in costume' speach?" Dick asked
"I don't mind." I said, his eyes went wide.Batgirl came skidding into the room and she also hugged me, she hadn't even bothered changing from her civillian clothing. I froze and she quickly pulled away
"Sorry." she said, "Are you okay?" there was obvious concern in her voice
"Fine." I said, Kal sat up and rubbed his eyes before looking pretty much normal.
"Your sleeping or at least staying in bed today, tommorow you're off patrol- no, crime fighting entirely. Then you can go back." he said
"Yeah! We'll take care of it!" Dick said enthusiastically. I remember what J'onn said 'trust your partners, their your team' and I relaxed against the bed head, letting my muscles melt and stopping paying so much attention.
"Okay." I said, they all looked at me.
"Really?" Kal asked
"No fight?" Dick asked
"No 'I'm fine'." Barbra said in a gruffer than needed voice
"I trust you." I said honestly.
"That's a first." Robin said, it broke the moment and I glared at him....
I sat in front of the various computers. As much as I hated to admit it I had been exausted, the sleep felt nice and not swinging around Gotham ever two hours or so was a nice temporary change, I'm sure I'd get stir-crazy eventually. Arrow was searching Vertigos new base and I was there to help analyse things or check files.
Green Arrows P.O.V
I hoped Batman was okay, I felt bad about betraying his trust already and when I heard he passed out from sleep deprivation I felt horrible and made sure to cover in Metropolis when I could- I douted Batman wanted me anywhere near his city and almost every hero in the Justice League had been covering Metropolis when there was nothing going on in their respective citys, but I made sure to put in the extra hours. I really hoped he forgave me and/or was just cranky from lack of sleep when he yelled but the man was imposible to read.
"It's all quite." I said to break the silence, the sound of papers shuffling came through the comm.
"He likes filling his buildings with traps, esspecially ones that require balance, precision or a clear head." Batman informed
"I know, I figured that out the hard way." I joked "Y'know, sometimes I really wish I had superpowers, imagine being invulnerable like Superman or having the ring like Hal." I fantasised, I got no reply and assumed he was ignoring me. "Are you really mad?" I finally adressed the elephant in the room. No reply. "Batman?" I asked, I heard him mummer something and as the comm got used to the quite it picked up on his rhythmic breathing. I smiled. "Sleep well." I said and I was about to end the call when
"He isn't mad, he's just tired and doesn't know how to explain what he's feeling." Supermans voice came through "He really does value you as a friend."
"Thanks." I said
