Phantom Justice

Injuries

Batman ran to the landed Bio-Ship and Red Arrow behind him.

"He's in here" Robin called over.

And the two men stopped to see Miss Martian picking the boy up with her powers, and she followed them to the medical wing.

"Will he be okay?" M'gann asked timidly.

As she set the boy up in a bed and Red Arrow set up an IV for him. And Batman put a oxygen mask over his face.

"We don't know, you need to stay out here and wait though," Batman said told the teens.

The teens waited in the living room not bothering to change out of their costumes. They didn't do anything just waited.

Five hours passed and none of them knew if the stranger was safe or not.

"What if we're... too late?" Conner ask sadly.

"He'll be fine, he'll live." Artemis said sternly.

"What about his family. I'm sure they're worried sick about him, who knows how long he's been missing," M'gann said with a tear running down her cheek.

"We'll ask him questions when he's better." Robin said with his head in his gloved hands.

"Or if he's not completely terrified of us." Artemis mumbled and everyone looked at her confused.

"Before he blacked out he looked at me completely mortified like I would hurt him." she explained.

"Who knows how long those guys had him in there." Wally whispered sadly.

Roy and Batman wrapped up the boys chest so his ribs could completely heal. The kid was beat up pretty bad.

First thing they did was remove the muzzle. He had a mild concussion, broken wrist, many many bruises and cuts and burn marks everywhere.

They couldn't get the collar off and Batman would hack the system and get it off once the boys other wounds where taken care of.

But what disturbed the adults the most was the large Y shape cut on his chest to his abdominal. It's been reopened many times and is fresh from the same day.

But most of his chest and stomach was wrapped in bandages with his back having whip slashes as well.

Batman suspected the boy has been in the facility for at least five years with how many wounds there was.

And some of the torture methods he didn't even think was possible. It was very hard to see such a young boy like this.

They finished and batman started to try to hack the system, but the boy started to wake up.

'No... No no no no! I escaped! I should be dead!' Phantom screamed in his mind.

He whimpered in pain as he felt it everywhere.

'Please don't do anymore, just let me die!' He started to try to move but cried out in pain making both of the adults jump in surprise.

"Hey kid, don't move," Roy pushed him gently back down.

"N-no," he whimpered squeezing his eyes closed as his breathing was speeding up.

"Kid deep breaths, calm down," Roy tried again.

"He's having a panic attack," Batman walked up and the boy had tears starting to roll down his face.

'Oh god no!' He yelled in his head.

"I'm batman, I'm not going to hurt you, the safe." the dark knight said gently and the boy started to shake in fear.

'They're lieing! I'm going to get hurt again soon. An agents going to come through those doors and drag me again!' He sobbed in his head.
