Broken- Slade and Robin

A familiar face

Robin's POV
I groaned slightly as I opened my eyes groggily, I was suddenly uncomfortably aware of the immense pain that was coursing through the open welts scattered across my back...
I suddenly tensed as I heard footsteps coming in my direction, my eyes were wide, pupils dilated, I let out what I can only describe as a strangled sob as the huge metal doors were thrown open dramatically, I squeezed my eyes (which were hidden behind a domino mask) shut tightly as the footsteps drew nearer.

I opened my eyes slowly as I heard a familiar voice gasp in horror
"Rob?! Is that really you?!" Kid Flash asked, taking in my disheveled, bloody appearance.
"K-k-KF?" I croaked hoarsely.
He scooped me up bridal style, and I winced slightly as his gloved hands made contact with the flogging scars that littered my back.
"My God Rob, what has this monster done to you?" Wally whispered softly, as I buried my head into his chest.

I must have dozed off, because my eyes shot open to the unmistakable voice of Artemis Crock
"Hey Baywatch! What took you so- ... oh my god... it can't be," She gasped.
I looked around, slightly dazed Kid Flash had carefully set me down on a seat in the bio ship.

"Robin..." I heard her voice crack "Is that really you?" Asked Artemis, her grey eyes rested on me.
"The one and only..." I spluttered, coughing up some blood and then proceeding to flash her a half-hearted smile.

"But I don't understand... you died! We saw you die! You were trapped in a bank with a bomb, you couldn't have escaped!" She stuttered, confusion etched on her face.

I groaned in response, my ribs ached with unbearable pain and my breathing was laboured, I tried to answer the concerned calls of Wally and Artemis but my body betrayed me, I suddenly vomited blood all across my lap before fading back into the cold, unforgiving darkness...

Kid Flash's POV

I sped towards a small closet in the bioship, and quickly scurried back to Artemis and Robin with an armful of cleaning products.
Artemis had wiped Robin's pants clean of the blood vomit, and was running her fingers soothingly through his raven locks.
I speedily cleaned the floor of all Rob's bloody puke, before turning my attention back to Rob himself,  he looked awful, his usually lightly tanned face had paled significantly, and although his eyes were covered by his signature Domino mask, I could tell that they were framed by heavy bags. That wasn't even the worst of it though, he wasn't wearing a shirt when I brought him in, so his torso was exposed, revealing purple bruises scattered across his chest and stomach, his back was terrible, it could hardly be called a back anymore, it was violently mutilated, deep crimson welts decorated it, some of which even looked infected, he clearly hadn't been given any medical treatment during his time with deathstroke.
I looked up at Artemis, her eyes were laced with concern, she met my gaze, a forlorn expression fixed upon her face.
"He looks like he's running a fever..." she announced, breaking the silence, she gently picked him up and handed him to me as she darted off to get some ice to bring down his fever, I looked down at the Robin in my arms, he was considerably lighter than since I'd last seen him before his 'death'.
He stirred slightly, but I stroked his head gently and whispered
"Go back to sleep, Rob"
