The first thing Robin noticed when he regained consciousness was that he could not see, at first he thought it was dark, but then he noticed he could not see at all. The lack of sight is followed up a pounding headache as he sat up pushing aside a large piece of rubble that landed on him. Reaching up he felt for his mask and was relieved to find that it was still there.
“Hey Robin are you alright? You were right next to the explosion.” Kid Flash’s voice told Robin that the older boy was approaching. “Dude your head is bleeding.” Robin could hear KF’s voice right next to him. “Can you stand?” Robin tried to nod but that made his already aching head pound with pain. “You stay here I’ll get help.” Then there was a moment of silence, Kid Flash did not walk away. “Rob? Robin what’s wrong?” Robin could feel the air move around his face. His friend must have been waving his hand in front of it.
“Huh? Oh right. I can’t see.” Robin replied.
“What?!” Kid Flash exclaimed. Robin sighed inwardly; he knew KF would start freaking out. “What do you mean you can’t see?! Are you like… Blind?”
“When I came to again I can’t see.” Robin said reaching out towards KF’s voice to try and calm the older boy down, his hand landed on what felt like KF’s knee and Robin patted it reassuringly. “I don’t know how, but it’s okay. How are the others?”
“You are blind and you are worried about the others?!” Wally said still frantic.
“Shut up. I am blind not dead.” Robin said slowly getting up.
“Kid Flash, Robin. Are you two okay?” Aqualad’s voice and footsteps were followed by three other sets of footsteps much to Robin’s relief.
“We are fine.” Robin replied. “Are you guys okay?”
“Yeah.” Megan was the one who replied.
“What do you mean we are fine?” KF exclaimed. “Robin is blind.”
Back at Mount Justice the teens waited anxiously as Batman checked over Robin in the infirmary. Robin had been the closest to the explosion at the time and the boy must have been flung at least six feet into a concrete wall. What disturbed Wally the most though was how calm the boy seemed to be even when he found out he was blind. A few moments later the dynamic duo came out, Robin in his civilian clothes with shades on and Batman, well, still Batman.
“Robin is suffering from temporary blindness.” Batman announced. “When he hit his head there is swelling that is pressing against the vision center of his brain causing the blindness. His vision should return once the swelling goes down.”
“See? No big deal.” Robin said cheerfully, but everyone frowned at the boy.
“Robin will remain here at Mount Justice. I trust all of you to take care of him until his sight returns.” Batman instructed.
“I can take care of myself just fine.” Robin protested with a pout.
“Don’t worry Batman, we will take good care of him.” Megan said taking Robin by the arm, Artemis took the other arm and before the boy could protest they began leading Robin towards his room. “Come on Robin. Let’s get you tucked in bed.” Wally fought the urge to laugh at the situation.
“On top of the blindness he also has a concussion.” Batman said addressing the boys. “If he starts having severe headaches, dizziness or vomiting, contact me right away.” The boys nodded. “Effective immediately the team will be taken off active duty until Robin recovers.” Wally didn’t want to be off of missions, but it made sense it would be dangerous to bring a blind kid on a mission.
