I'm (Not) Okay!

~ 4 ~

I wake up with people sitting round me. The light was dim through my sunglasses. I'm on a soft surface. The room is white and I don't like everyone staring at me. I know it isn't but I can't help but feel they are giving me looks of disappointment. In my mind I imagine those saying things to me.
"Weak human" from Megan and Conner.
"Pathetic" from Artemis and Kadar
"Why don't you just die if your this pathetic and weak?" from Wally.

Everyone looks avert to the door when it opens and batman walks through. He nods to everyone as he walks to the end of my bed. Everyone exits the door except Wally. He scoffs and mimes "Bat brat" to me.

When the door closes batman removes his cowl and I remove my glasses.
"Dick," he says giving me a worried look. "What's going on?" I have to lie to him. If he knows about how weak I am being now... the look he'll give me... the stare.
"I just haven't been sleeping well this week." Lie but my eyes are covered as tears prick the sides of my eyes.
"Ok," he says. "What did you tell the team?"
"I told them joker poisoned me with some drug." I say as he nods.
"Good cover up" he says as he slips his cowl back on. I learn from the best I think as I give him a small smile.
"I'll just be a few minutes," he says standing up "Then we can go home. I nod then sink into my pillows.
"Don't let anyone in." I say before he reaches the door.
"I won't." Batman exits the room and tears stream down my face as I fall into a fitful sleep

...

Pitch black, all around me is pitch black. Then four figures walk out the shadows and into four sets of spotlights. There was one spotlight left in the middle. The figures are wearing cloaks with long hoods to cover their faces.

One figure stepped forward and removed their hood. Artemis? I couldn't speak.

"I thought that not being the only human on the team was great. That with batman's protégé we humans would outweigh the others. I guess I was wrong. You're a disappointment. Do you see what you've done? You've made us look weak, I now look weak because of you, because you can't act tough anymore. No wonder batman's so protective of you, you can't handle yourself." She finished as Megan stepped forward.

"Humans, I thought they were better than this, stronger than this. I guess not. At first you acted so tough like a leader, but I guess even the strongest people become weak." She finished and Conner stepped forward.

"I thought you were supposed to be experienced, faced off against the biggest criminals in the world. Maybe it was all the bat, maybe you're not as big as you make out." He finishes and Aqualad steps out.

"I relied on your experience to help on the missions we were on. No wonder why they all failed. I trusted your expertise to get the mission done but I guess trusting a thirteen year old kid can't happen anymore." He finished and they all spoke out as one.

"You're just a pathetic human"

Wally stepped out of the shadows. "Well, well, well, look what the bat dragged in. I shouldn't waste my time explaining how pathetic you are but I'm going to do it anyway. You were supposed to be my best pal but I don't need a weakling of a human to slow me down. I have powers, you don't. You may be fast but not as fast as me. Pathetic human."

Each said one last word.
"Pathetic"
"Human"
"un-experienced"
"Juvenile"

Wally was the last to speak and by this time tears streamed down my face.

"Why won't you die, rob? No one wants you here"
