Young Justice - Robin's Sick Day

Home

   Wally takes me to the bathroom and starts to clean me up with a wet cloth.  ".........." I don't speak, I'm afraid I'll puke again. Once he's done, he kisses me on my forehead. He places his hand on my cheek to hold my head.

   "Ya feeling alright, Rob?" KF asks.

   "I feel a little bit better" I mumble.

   "Hmmm. Only a little? Where does it hurt?"

   "Umm" I hold my stomach. "Here"

   "I'll make sure to put an ice pack on it when we get to your *ahem* MANSION" He says it just loud enough to be funny, and not loud enough for the others to hear.

   I laugh, and that takes the pain off my mind. "KF, continue being funny, it helps distract me from the pain"

   "Man, I was born for this day!" He then tells me jokes the rest of the ride. Most of them are superhero jokes about Batman or Superman.

   We hear a knock on the door. "We are here" Our atlantic friend says.

   "Come on, Rob" My boyfriend softly grabs my hand. He leads me out the ship, and towards Black Canary. I guess it's because Batman's nowhere to be seen. "Black Canary, I can't find Batman, so I'm telling you." He gestures to me. "I'm taking Rob to his home"

   She sees the paleness of my skin, and the way I'm holding my stomach. She responds, "Please do, he looks horrible"

   We then zeta-beam to Wayne Manor, or rather the Batcave, that's where the zeta-beam is. The first thing I see is Alfred dusting.

   "Master Richard? Wallace? What are you doing here?" He asks.

   "Rob's sick. So I'm gonna take care of him" Wally responds.

   "Oh dear. I'm ever so sorry Master Richard, it is my fault for letting you leave while ill" He apologizes and does a slight bow.

   I cough and say, "It's okay, Alfred. It's my fault. *cough* I just couldn't stand doing nothing all day, being all alone"

   "Well, if you need anything, come get me"

   "Alright, thanks Alfred" Wally quickly says.

   He rushes me out of the Batcave, and into my room. He takes off my Robin suit, leaving me in my underwear. I'm so sick, I don't even care, or blush. He goes to my dresser, and grabs some clothes. But before he can put them on me, I crawl into my bed, and under the covers.

   "I guess you're too hot for clothes- I mean" He facepalms and sighs. "You know I didn't mean it that way" I softly hum and nuzzle my face into a pillow. I sleepily nod. "Alright, I'll let you sleep" He says quietly, then kisses my head.

   Almost instantly, I fall asleep.

*********-------Wally's Pov-------********

   As Dick sleeps, I put away his Robin suit. I get a damp washcloth to lessen his fever, and get a bucket, in case he vomits. I put the bucket by his bed. I then place the washcloth on his forehead when he rolls onto his back. I take off my Kid Flash suit and put it away in the drawer he set aside for me. I put on a t-shirt and jeans.

   He looks calm and peaceful while asleep. Unfortunately, it doesn't last. He squeezes his eyes shut, like the sun's in his eyes. He groans in a high pitch, and rolls onto his side, with his back facing me. He clutches his stomach.

   "Dick?" I ask, almost whispering. I can't tell if he's asleep or not.

   "W-Wally" He whimpers in response.

   I quickly go to the side he's facing. His face is contorted in pain, and his skin is almost green. Oh. He's gonna puke. I grab the bucket, and put it in front of his face just in time. He barfs and the sound he makes almost makes me throw up. I rub his back in circles. He pants, then pukes again.

   He coughs, swallows, then makes a face of disgust and says, "I'm so not looking forward to Bruce coming home"

   "Richard!?" Bruce shouts. I can hear the worry in his voice. Or something, I can't tell, I'm too terrified.

   "Speak of the devil. I should go" I speedily say. I then begin to make a dash for the window, but Dick grabs my wrist.

   "No" He says. "I want you to take care of me, not Bruce!"

   His eyes plead for me to stay. "A-Alright. I'll stay"

   Bruce opens the door. My heart stops. 'How do I tell The Batman, that I'm taking care of his sick son, and he's not? HOW?!'

   His face turns from worry to anger in a millisecond. "Wally, what are you doing here" He asks, no it's an order.

   "U-Umm" I nervously clear my throat. Dick looks up at me with puppy dog eyes. "OK. Umm. Bruce. I'm here because- because I'm going to take care of Dick!" I say with the most confidence I've ever had.

   We engage in a staring battle. Dick squeezes my hand and Bruce notices. Finally, he says, "Alright" I look at him in astonishment. "But if anything morbidly awful happens. You will tell me, you will get punished for it" With that, he leaves.

   I look at Dick in amazement, he reciprocates the emotion. He says, "Wally that was amazing! I've never seen anyone have such confidence in front of Bruce, especially when they're against him! He's a great Dad, but terrifying!"

   "I'm pretty sure I peed my pants" I respond. "But, it was worth it for you"

   He laughs. "Thank you so much, I know I've been annoying"

   I laugh. "You haven't, and I'll do it all again for you"
