White reflected off lenses of Robins mask from the glare of the computer monitor while his gloved hands moved across the keyboard effortlessly. His eyes flicked between the keyboard and screen every so often to check his coding.
"Come on baby, come on. Be a good little computer and let me in."
Access Denied
"Oh, come on!" Hissing the young superhero smacked the desk in frustration, his friends where counting on him. He had to get the door opened or else they were screwed six ways from Sunday. Robin pinched the bridge of his nose trying to scour through his memories for the right script, were was BG when you needed her? Sighing, the Boy Wonder looked back at the script running across the computer screen trying to look for any discrepancies in his work.
'Robin how's it coming?'
Miss Martians voice floated through his mind causing him to look to the side where he knew behind the door the rest of his team was waiting for him. 'Working as fast as I can, just a few more minutes.'
'Please hurry, KF doesn't look good.'
Robin flinched at that. He'd seen the speedster take a sai to the side of the head from Cheshire before they could retreat. Deciding against trying to hack the computer system he went for an easier route. He started typing a new code into the system as quickly as he could. 'Just a few more seconds, I almost got-'
"Access denied, Bat Brat."
Robin gasped in surprise, it felt like he had been punched in his back; the air escaped from his lungs in agony. It took a few seconds for his body to react to the searing-burning pain that started from his right shoulder and spread quickly through-out his body. Robin opened his mouth to shout, scream, yell-something but was cut off as a hand quickly silenced him.
'Robin?' Miss Martian questioned in worry.
"Shh, shh." Sportsmaster. He should have known if Cheshire were here than hemust have been lurking somewhere as well. So stupid. The hand on his mouth pushed him gently back against the man's chest as Sportsmaster helped guide him to the floor when his knees finally gave way.
Robin could taste the coppery tang of blood in the back of his throat and was worried that the (after a quick glance down) spear he'd been stabbed with had punctured a lung.
"Sorry, kiddo, but take it as a compliment that you warrant a death by my hands." Suddenly the spear was pulled from his body and the hand around his mouth fell away. With nothing to support him Robin fell to his side; a silent scream tore from him as the shock of hitting the ground aggravated his injury.
Robin coughed, ignoring the pain that the action sent coursing through his body and slowly reached his hand up, eyes tearing at the pull on his wound to hit the enter button on the keyboard. In an instant red lights began flashing, the water sprinklers kicked on, and an automatic voice resounded from the overhead speakers indicating a fire in the facility and that all personnel were to proceed to the designated emergency exits.
Blood stained teeth grinned up at Sportsmaster who narrowed his eyes and raised his spear again but decided against it as the door to the side of them opened and an angry looking Superboy came charging out.
"Well played." The blond villain gave Robin a nod before retreating from the room.
"Robin? Uhm, oh God. Oh god, that's a lot of blood." Robin tried to focus on Artemis while she hovered over him, her eyes wide with panic and uncertainty. "Kaldur!"
He tried to tell them it wasn't that bad, not near as bad as the time Two Face had beaten him with the baseball bat but when hands suddenly pushed down on his chest wound the world around him spiraled a brilliant white and then plunged into a blissful darkness.

He blinked his eyes open to the site of brilliant lights flashing over head and a muddle of people shouting orders, he tried to call for Batman but instead coughed. An action that sent his chest flaring into a hot mess of pain and agony.
"It's going to be alright son." A shadow appeared above him. A hand, warm, soft, and reassuring gently nestled on his forehead before his eyes slipped shut once again.

The next time he woke he was pleasantly numb, even if it felt like his head was full of an ungodly amount of cotton balls. He could hear someone beside him, feel his hand being held tightly between theirs, could feel the warmth of the persons breath, and brush of their lips on his fingers from words being whispered but couldn't hear what was being said.
He sighed in content before drifting off to sleep.

The final time he awoke it was like falling head first from a freight train; he jolted awake, adrenaline pounding through his veins, his body tense and ready.
"Dick?"
At his name Dick turned and gasped for breath-moving hurt.
"It's okay chum." Blue eyes widened at the gruff voice of his mentor.
"Bruce." Tears prickled at the edges of Dicks vision at the site of his adoptive father, not Batman, sitting beside him. He was glad, he didn't think he could handle being the stoic Boy Wonder just then.
Bruce brought his hand up to settle against Dicks forehead and the boy nuzzled against it, appreciating the warmth it brought. "Swear you're going to make me grey before I'm forty."
Dick grinned before looking around the room trying to distinguish where he was. Bruce seemed to understand and answered.
"You're in the Med Bay at the Watchtower."
Dick nodded.
"How you're feeling?"
"Like... was...shish kabobed."
Bruce narrowed his eyes. "Not even remotely funny."
Dick huffed a laugh before moving his left hand to rest against the bandage on his chest. "Lil.. lil funny."
"You're lung collapsed, Dick. Good Lord, I just..." Bruce rubbed a hand over his eyes. "New Rule, I'm wrapping you in bubble wrap before every mission. If it hadn't been for M'gann contacting J'onn. I don't.."
Grimacing at the tightness from moving his arm, Dick rested his hand on Bruce's. "S'okay. M'good. Pain.. mmnnhhpmh, painkillers are awesome."
Bruce couldn't help it, he chuckled, and grinned like an idiot. After the stress of endless days of worry and waiting for signs of improvement and just wanting to see his kids beautiful baby blues again, all the tension he'd been harboring let itself out.
Dick looked at Bruce like he had been exposed to Joker's laughing gas. "You sure... you 'kay?"
Taking a deep breath Bruce leaned his forehead against Dicks thigh. "Yeah, Chum. I'm just glad you're okay. Get some rest, you're going to need it. Your teams been trying to bust down the door to get in here."
At the mention of his team, Dick asked. "KF, okay?"
"He's fine, Dick. Got his bell rung pretty badly but he's fine. Everyone else is as well. Get some rest, alright?"
Dick nodded already half asleep.
Bruce smiled down at his partner and thanked a god he didn't believe in that he'd been spared losing his son.
A/N: Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed it!

I did not fully comprehend the meaning of "beyond my expectations" until this piece of love came into my life.
And holy sensitivity, Batman! The ending is so cute!! I don't think there will ever be too much Daddy-Bats on this meme (or in general.)
But really. Thank you. This honestly made my day year lifetime.

Thank you for prompting that awesome picture! :D

And thank you for making the ending happy! I can only handle so much angst. xD
'He tried to tell them it wasn't that bad, not near as bad as the time Two Face had beaten him with the baseball bat' Oh. Oh you poor thing. D:

I have to have happy endings because I'm weird like that, lol. As much as I like angst and hurt/comfort I like everything to be all honky dory in the end! xD
I know >_< , sadly I think that's my favorite part of the comics though. Because it showed Robin that the hero business wasn't a game that his actions had consequences, and also because he got beat nearly to death by Two Face and then we actually got to see some worried papa!bats.
Erm, anyways, thank you for commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

I was really excited when one of my commenters on DA linked this to me. I was hoping for a little story to go along with this picture. This was just wonderful! Loved the Robin/ Sportsmaster dialogue.
Contrary to what I draw usually... I like for Rob to make a getaway.

I'm happy you liked it! Glad you liked the Sportsmaster/Robin bit because I know very little of him from comics canon and the show hasn't shown much of him, lol, so I wasn't sure how it would come out. I actually want to go back and rewrite and expand this some but school is so freaking lame right now that I dont have time. X\
Also, also, I love your drawings on DA. I just started going through them after I saw this prompt. And they are awesome!
And I should really stop talking, lol. I tend to be a bit ranty. x3
