Never meant to be?

The watchtower

Roy always wanted to go to the watchtower. But not when his boyfriend was nearly dead. He tried to stay calm but every emotion that a human could have Roy was going through. When Dinah came out of the room 2 full hours later, Roy was about 15 seconds away from tears.

"How is he?" Robin asked before Roy could.

"All of his ribs are broken and his chest was literally cut opened." Dinah said slowly.

"Will he make it?" Roy demanded.

"It doesn't look good for him. The doctor don't think that he'll.." Dinah started to say but she didn't get to finish.

"Don't say that." Roy said over her.

Roy." Dinah says slowly.

Roy didn't say anything. He walked into the room and shut the door quietly. His heart shattered to see Kaldur connected to wires. He sat down in the chair and slowly took Kaldur's hand.

"Kal. It's me Roy. The damn doctors say that you won't make it. I need you to make Kal. I need you here. I know that I sound like a selfish bastard but I need you. Please." Roy begged as tears started to swell in his eyes.

He put his head down as he cried. His tears made a small puddle on the sheets. He felt a hand on his back but he brushed it off.

"Roy I'm sorry." Batman said.

"I should have been there with him. I should have been able to protect him. I know that he doesn't need that shit but, god Oliver said this would happen." Roy said angrily.

"Said what?" Batman asked.

"I would only hurt him. I know that I didn't cause this but still." Roy said.

"You have always been protective of Kaldur. I remember when you and Kaldur met. Oliver took you two to the carnival in town. I took Robin and Barry took Wally with you guys. You always kept Kaldur in your sight. You would also look sad when he left. You always loved him, didn't you." Batman explained.

"I never stopped loving him." Roy said as he rubbed the back of Kaldur's hand.

"Good. Don't let Oliver stupidity change that. Kaldur will wake up soon. He is just as stubborn as you are." Batman says as he left the room.

Roy took a deep breath as he kissed Kaldur's hand. Roy stood up, placed a kiss on Kaldur's forehead and left the room to get some air and to calm down.

A few hours later Kaldur's eyes opened. He sat up slowly to lessen the pain in his chest. He took the IV cords out of him and got out of bed. He stood up and looked at his bandaged up chest in the mirror. He found a shirt on the chair that wasn't covered in blood and put it on. He also found a pair of sweats on the chair. He put the pants on and left the room. As he used the wall to hold himself up, the made his way to the main room. He saw the team along with his king looking worried. He walked further into the room and Megan looked at him.

"Kaldur!" Megan shouted as she floated quickly to Kaldur.

The others turned their head at Megan outburst. They ran to Kaldur and took turns hugging him.

"Are you alright my son?" Arthur asked.

"Yes my king." Kaldur said in a rasp voice from just waking up. "Where is Roy?" He asked.

Before anyone could answer Dinah came in the room in a rush.

"Roy is in the abounded building in Maine. He said something about the 'Spear's drug lords' or something like that." She explained quickly.

Kaldur knew exactly what she was talking about. Roy and Kaldur were talking about the Spear's drug trade through Star and Maine. Kaldur limped back to his room and got dressed in his now cleaned uniform.

"What are you doing?" Conner asked.

"I am going after him." Kaldur said simply.

"Not in your condition." Dinah said.

"I know where the abound warehouse is. I also know exactly who we are dealing with. I am going." Kaldur said as he walked to the zeta beam.

"Are you coming or not?" Kaldur asked as he typed in the coordinate.

Against their better judgement, they follow Kaldur.
