-I've been going out to spend the day with friends lately, so I've had trouble writing this week-


"Hey Rob." Wally walked through the living room, seeing Dick perched on the back of the couch. Dick didn't respond. "Rob?"

"Robin?" M'gann called from the kitchen.

Robin burried his head in some decorative pillows.

"He's asleep." Conner stated. "Has been for a while."

They carried on, quieter, so as not to wake him. Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound, and Robin sat bolt upright with a gasp. His hand flew to his comm. 

"Bats?" He asked sleepily. "No, I wasn't. No, I wasn't!... Yep, I'm coming... okay." He stumbled up and stretched. "Oh, hey Walls."

"Hey, what was that?" Wally asked.

"Batman needs me." He hastily explained, yawning.

"You look tired." M'gann observed.

"Ehh." He streched. "I have to go." He turned, and hurried out.

"That was weird." Conner stated. "I've never seen him sleep."

"Yeah." Wally shrugged. "He hates sleeping in front of people, Bats is always pestering him not to show weakness."

ROBIN-B01

The boy stumbled through the zetabeam, and let out all the air in his lungs. He hurried to the sofa and threw himself down.

"How was the crime?" Wally asked.

"Good. Crime was bad. But now, I am good." He rested his eyes closed and sighed again. Another heavy buzz in his ear. Dick sat upright again, his back aching, and answered the call. "Yeah? No, I'm okay... No, I'm coming..."

"Is that Batman again?" Wally asked.

Dick held up a finger to quiet him. "Ugh! When will this be over? Yea, yeah, I KNOW! I know... I'm on route." He stood up, not having rested more than ten seconds. "Later, guys."

"Again?" Conner asked. "You just got back."

"I just... need to do this." He hurried out, leaving them robin-less once more.

BATMAN- 01

"GUYS! ROB'S BACK!"

The boy stumbled back in, raising his arms dramatically to the roaring cheers of his teammates.

"I'm back!" He forced a grin.

"How was the crime that time?" 

"Worse." He admitted, lowering his arms in defeat.

Batman cut off their joking, as always. "Team, you have a new mission."

"Awesome," Wally slung an arm around Dick's waist. "But, shouldn't Rob take this one easy? He just had two back-to-back missions."

Bruce looked at his son. "He can handle it."

"Right, yeah." Dick jerked awake, and put his hand over Wally's, which was on his hip. "I can do this."

"Okay..." His redhead agreed.

Their mission was simple; a stay at a safe distence and watch for a deal involving illegal shipments involving the new super-serum. It seemed like it wouldn't pressure Robin too much, so hopefully it'd be fine.
