"KF...help me out of this bed, will you?" Robin asked, his voice being slightly muffled by the oxygen mask covering his nose and mouth.

The speedster moved over to gingerly help his friend swing his legs over the side of the bed and stand up.

The ill bird wobbled a bit and grabbed onto Wally's arm for support, partly because of his weak limbs and partly because the stinging pain in his gut was still there.

Wally securely wrapped an arm around the thirteen year old's waist to help steady him on his feet.

Once Robin was no longer swaying, he reached up to remove the mask from his face. As soon as his pale hand touched the curved plastic, Kid Flash grabbed hold of his arm, stopping him. "Keep it on, Rob."

The corners of the acrobat's  lips tilted down into a small frown as he let his hand weakly drop back to his sick. "Okay..."

His voice cracked and sounded a bit hoarse right then. He cleared his throat.

M'gann was quick to try to help. She flew over to a water dispenser standing in the corner of the med-bay, and grabbed a plastic cup from the stack next to it. "Do you want some water, Robin?"

The Boy Wonder rubbed at his throat before turning to look at the martian. "No thanks, Miss M...where did that water dispenser come from?"

The green skinned girl turned to look at the water container. "Oh! Well I saw it when I went out shopping last weekend, and thought the med-bay might need it...That way, there will be water available nearby for when one of us get hurt and have to stay here."

"Oh..." Robin blinked lightly before giving her a friendly smile. "That's actually a really good idea."

M'gann beamed in delight at the praise from her youngest teammate. "Are you sure you don't want any?"

"No, I'm fine, but thanks."

She nodded lightly and moved to set the plastic cup down, before floating back over to her place next to Superboy.

"Wanna head to the living room, Rob?" Wally asked.

The acrobat only smiled, looking around and noticing the absence of a certain archer. "Where did Roy go...?"
