Side effects

The side effects

**This is my first Young Justice story so let me know what you guys think?  just my take of some of the unanswered storylines during this episode..**

     Batman was dead.
Along with the entire Justice league and half of the young justice league..
and if he didn't blow up this alien ship, everyone else he cared for would join them soon.
Wally and M'gann were all that was left of his small league.
They raced through the halls of the ship fighting off as many alien robots as they could while trying to make there escape before the bombs He'd unloaded took the whole place up in smoke.
He was the leader it was his job to save the earth now, he just had to save the team first..
The  main doors slammed closed as the bombs reached ten seconds to activate. 
He glanced around the metal dome but there was no other way out, no way left to save the all too few friends he still had.
He was team leader..they trusted him..
...5 seconds.
There had to be another way out.
..4 seconds.
He yelled at M'gann to leave through the walls, but she refused to leave them behind.
He was going to be the reason the last of earth's heroes died.
..3 seconds...
Batman would have found a way by now..
..2 seconds. .
it was all going to be his fault.
1.. Red flames erupted from the ship, surrounding them.

  Robin awoke and bolted upright.
he clenched his hands on his sheets as he gasped for air. Taking a rasping breath before glancing at his surroundings.
the window was open with the curtains blowing in the night wind, the portrait of Bruce's parents was hanging on the far wall.

He wasn't dead. His team wasn't dead.
He was home..It was all a dream..another dream. ..of the exercise gone wrong..
he placed his head in his hands as light creaked in through his door followed by Alfred holding a tray with a glass of water ontop of it's silver dome.

"Feeling alright Master dick?"

He nodded, his voice still to tight to speak.

Alfreds room was located next door, and unfortunately for Alfred he was a sleep talker..or in some extreme cases sleep screamer..meaning he was woken by Richard's nightmares the past three nights as well.

Alfred handed him the glass and he accepted it gratefully, the cold glass against his palms helped wake him back to reality  if only  a little.

"Was it the same nightmare as before?" he asked

"Yeah.." Robin replyed after taking a drink "Funny how it always seems so real, even after the forth run."

"Perhaps we should inform Master Bruce of the issue?"

"He knows, we all know. Martian said it could be a side effect for awhile.."

"Seems a long while."

"yeah, No kidding.."

"Perhaps you could ask if the others are still have these..side effects tomorrow? perhaps they should be gone soon."

"Sure, maybe."

Alfred stood by his bed until he had finished his water and handed him back the empty glass,

He was grateful for Alfred, though he always felt terrible for waking him, Talking to Alfred helped him snap back to reality,  though he wouldn't be able to go back sleep.

Alfred left the door open as he made his exit, knowing Dick wouldn't be far behind him. The only thing that could clear his head after the nightmares was training.

He stood and headed to get changed glancing at his watch as he walked. 4 a.m. .well at least he got three hours of sleep..last night he'd only gotten two.
