Young Justice - Robin's Sick Day

Wayne Manor

   I wake up in my bed. I'm sweaty and cold. My head is throbbing. I curl up in my blankets and shiver. I'm so not feeling the aster.

   'How am I cold, but my skin is hot?' I think to myself.

   I groan and hold my stomach. I reach out, and grab my phone to check the time. It takes a minute for me to comprehend what my phone says.

   '8:50. 8:50. 8:50. 8:51. 8:51- 8:51!!! SHIT, BRUCE IS GONNA BE MAD I'M NOT UP!!'

   I put my head up, feel nauseous, and gag. I put my head down, and clench a hand over my mouth.

   I hear knocking at my door.

   "Master Richard, Master Bruce would like to speak with you in the Batcave" Alfred says. He then leaves my room door.

   "Mnnhhh..." I whimper.

   I try to get up again. I sit on the side of my bed. I still feel nauseous, but I can get up. So I do. I stand up. I go over to my dresser, and put on actual clothes instead of pjs.

   I enter my bathroom, and brush my teeth. I sneeze, and toothpaste goes all over the mirror. I clean up, and finish brushing my teeth.

   I exit my room, and walk down the hall towards the Batcave. I pass the kitchen, and smell breakfast.

   "Would you like something to eat?" Alfred asks me.

   I almost gag at the sight and scent of food. "I'm good" I reply.

   I enter the Batcave, and walk up to Batman.

   He looks serious for a moment, but when he sees me he looks as worried as he can in his Batman suit. "Richard are you feeling alright?" Batman asks me. He puts his hand to my forehead, and removes it quickly.

   "N-No" I respond. "I don't- I don't feel so good" I mentally cringe at how cliché that sounds. My stomach churns, and I slightly gag.

   "You're not going to Mount Justice" He says. "Stay home with Alfred today"

   I nod my head, and go back up to my room. Batman follows me upstairs, and talks to Alfred, probably about me staying home for today.

   I gag, and saliva fills my mouth as I clutch a hand over it. I feel the puke rising in my stomach. I sprint to my room, and vomit in my bathroom, all over the floor. The putrid smell of my puke makes me hurl again, this time I made it in the toilet. I have a really bad stomach ache along with my nausea. It makes the nausea worse.

   'I wish Wally was here'

****-Meanwhile at Mount Justice-**** **********Third Person Pov**********

   "Batman - 02"

   Kid Flash runs up to Batman. "HeyBatmanwhere'sRobinisheokhe'sneverlate" He says really fast.

   Artemis hits him upside the head. "Say it like a human being, doofus!" She exclaims.

   "Fine" He takes a deep breath, and makes sure to speak as slowly as he can.... Which isn't slow.... "Hey Batman. Where is Robin, is he ok? He's never late"

   "It is not your place to ask that" Batman replies in his usual monotone voice. He then walks to the other side of the cave, towards Flash, who's super impatient.

   "Finally you're here! I thought I was late!" Flash exclaims.

   "But- ugh. It kinda is, I'm his boyfriend!" Kid Flash replies, talking to Artemis.

   "Maybe he's sour about his sidekick getting more action than him" Artemis responds.

   He laughs. "Maybe, but if Robin was okay, Batman would've just said he's fine"

   "True, I'm getting worried"

   "Obviously, I already am"

   Artemis and Kid Flash walk back to the living area.

   "Guys, do you know anything about why Robin's not here?" M'gann asks.

   "Nope" Kid Flash responds. "I mean, I asked Batman but he said it wasn't my place to ask that. I'm worried about Robin because he didn't say anything like "Robin's ok" or "You don't need to worry Kid Flash, your boyfriend's doing fine" He could've told me any information" He angrily sits down on the couch by Aqualad.

   "He's probably alright, but I do not know for sure" Aqualad says.

**********----Robin's Pov----**********

   I haven't thrown up for 3 hours, and to Alfred's knowledge, I haven't thrown up at all. I want to get out of here and go on a mission, sure I don't feel amazing, but it's hard being cooped up in a room that smells like vomit. I tried to mask the smell by spraying febreze, but it only lasted an hour.

   I get up from my bed, I took a quick nap. I exit my room and walk to Alfred, who's cleaning dishes in the kitchen.

   "Hey Alfred?" I ask.

   He turns toward me. "Yes, Master Richard?" He replies.

   "I was thinking that maybe I could go to Mount Justice?" He looks at me skeptically. "I haven't vomited at all!" I lie.

   He puts his hand to my forehead. "You still have a little bit of a fever"

   "Please!?"

   He sighs. "Alright, but if you get get sick, you're coming back. Alright?"

   "Yes, I got it! Thank you!"

   I run into the Batcave and change into my Robin suit. I then go through the zeta beam to Mount Justice.
