Babysitting Richard Grayson (Part Three)

-thank you to @DCr3ativ3Abomination for the request, and to all the others who wanted a part three. Leave requests in the comments or DM me-

It was Artemis' fault, kind of. She was uncomfortable watching Richard at night, sure, but she could've tapped out with ANYONE who wasn't Wally. Wally was still burnt out from doing nightshift the previous night; he was hardly in Dick's room for five minutes before falling asleep on the foot of the bed.

So, Basically, No one was watching the kid they WERE ORDERED TO PROTECT. Sure, it didn't seem like a big deal, at first...

There was a storm raging outside, with flashes of lighting and crashing of thunder. It was hard to sleep for everyone except Artemis and Dick; Gotham kids were used to rain like this. To them, it was almost soothing, like white noise.

There was a deafening smashing sound from upstairs, jerking the youths from their slumber. This was followed by a shreik, the sound of someone falling over, and Wally calling for back up.

If the kid hadn't contorted slightly in his sleep, persumable to be closer to Kid Flash, then the brick would've him him square in the temple, fracturing his skull (at least).

They set up a mind link immediately. They didn't realize they'd aded Robin, and Dick couldn't exactly do anything besides try to silence his mind. In costume or not, his mind would sound the same. Kaldur ordered M'gann to take Dick into a side room and lock the door while the others went out and searched for the culprit.

A brick through the window, it seemed like a basic move; undoubtedly a small time criminal trying to collect the bounty. So, they seperated.

-

Wally: I'm going  left.

Conner: You mean that you're going east.

Wally: LEFT.

Kaldur: If  you see ANYTHING, let us know immidiately. Ms. Martian?

M'gann: The door is locked.

Dick:.............

Artemis: I think I see -FUCK!

Conner: What?

Wally: ARTEMIS?

Kaldur: Where are you.

Artemis: The garden, FUCKING HURRY!

-

Dick sat crosslegged in a side-room, more like a closet, really, and tried to stay quiet. M'gann was trying not to look scared, but he could hear her yelling over the mindlink. No one could manage to tell her what was happening.

"It's okay, you're safe." She insisted quietly, as sounds roared throught the wall. 

"I know." He tried not to make a sound over the link.

"You're okay, I just NEED to help the team with this. Okay?" He nodded, and M'gann squeezed his shoulder and hurried out the door. "Lock it." 

He didn't, watching her leave.

-

M'gann: Are you okay? I'm coming!

Wally: NO! Don't come down!

Conner: There are more that we thought, stay up there with the kid!

M'gann: Why? What's happening?

-

The mindlink got a little scratchy, as M'gann started started using her telekinesis, but from what Dick could hear, it was mostly just cursing and grunts of pain.
