Thank you all reviewers!

Robin and Superboy are sitting in the bioship with Wally, still completely still, close to them. "It's…eerie."

Robin glances up from his thoughts when Superboy speaks, looking puzzled.

"What's eerie?"

Superboy's head turns to look at Wally, something Robin notices that he has not done since he set the red head down nearly fifteen minutes ago.

"He's never that still even when he's asleep."

Robin understands Superboy's worry. There's nothing they can do for Wally except make him comfortable and pray the anti-venom Batman has made will work.

He knows he'll have to call Batman soon.

Batman will help and Batman will also mention that the mission was technically a success; they saved the hostages and recovered the data.

"It's almost impossible for a speedster to stop moving. Their bodies are always vibrating and the molecules can never be at rest. Batman told me it's why they're usually so energetic, their bodies give them so much adrenaline to keep them from falling apart from the stress of their powers…but Wally said it's not so much adrenaline as it's…a force…a speed force that surrounds speedsters. It protects their bodies in ways I don't think even they fully understand…I think it's the reason he's not dead right now."
It hits Robin then, more than likely because he's been pushing it from his mind, that Wally should be dead.

Ivy's kiss is fatal nine times out of ten, the poison working so fast that no one ever stands a chance.

Wally could explain it to him. Wally's great at science and even though Robin's practically a genius; there are some things he still has to learn.

"We're almost home." Superboy grunts out as he pushes himself to his feet. Aqualad is standing close to the controls and when he sees Superboy move; he approaches Robin, giving orders to M'gann as he walks.

"M'gann, contact Red Tornado. Tell him the mission was successful but we will require the med-bay." He then glances at Robin, "What happened?"

"Later." The boy responds, pulling out his personal com link, "We're close. I have to call Batman."

Aqualad nods and moves to help check Wally's vitals,

Robin moves himself to the very corner of the bioship, out of everyone's normal line of sight and clicks his com link on.

A voice answers not even a moment later, "What is it?"

"I need you to meet us at the cave. It's Wally…Ivy poisoned him."

"…I'll contact the Flash."

The link is severed before Robin can even respond but he's grateful for that. He doesn't know what else to say to Batman and what he really wants to say, he can't say in front of his other team mates.

"Robin?" M'gann appears shortly after the call ends and the Boy Wonder can't help but feel she was probably listening in. "Red Tornado wants to know if-"

She breaks off with a gasp and Robin can hear the sounds of surprise coming from Aqualad.

"He's seizing!"

Robins pushes M'gann roughly out of the way, muttering an apology that he knows he'll have to sweeten with cookies later.

"We have to get him to the cave! M'gann can you get this thing to go any faster?"
She nods and rushes off looking shaken, so much so that Superboy follows her.

"We're five minutes out from the cave." Aqualad tells Robin as he struggles to hold Wally still as best he can to keep the speedster from injuring himself further.

Robin clicks his teeth together in frustration because as he watches his best friend shake on the table he knows five minutes is far too long.

Even though Batman and Black Canary are two of the heroes besides Red Tornado that they consistently interact with, the Flash is always a team favorite. When he comes to the cave to pick up Wally he always spends time chatting to the other team members. He zips around, asking how their days were going and if Bats was being too hard on them. He's easy going and someone that makes it easy to see why Kid Flash would aspire to be just like him.

But none of them are prepared for a serious faced Flash. The one that stands next to Batman with the same look on his face as Superboy carries Kid Flash off of the bio ship.

"Thanks, I'll take him from here." Flash zips up to Superboy and relieves him of Wally before zipping off to the med bay.

The young heroes move to follow by Batman stops them with only a look.

"Rest up. We'll inform you on Kid Flash as necessary."

"But-"

"Rest. Up." He orders and turns to follow the Flash down to the med-bay.

"Flash is really worried…isn't he?" M'gann asks quietly to the group, "He didn't even say hello."

"Come." Aqualad places his arm around her shoulders and motions for Superboy to follow, "Let us do as Batman asked."

Robin doesn't follow them. He can't find the motivation to even do so but he can move in the direction of the med-bay and decides that is the best course of action for the time being.

Batman injects Wally with a syringe full of anti-venom and checks the monitors one more time before turning to face the ever pacing Flash.

"Try not to wear holes in the floor." He mutters.

"How can I not, Bats!" Flash forces himself to stop, glancing at his nephew with a pained look on his face, "You said Ivy's kiss is fatal…but he's…not dead."

"No. But it seems as if his body has been fighting off the venom. He's been dying slowly but his body has been repairing itself but with the toxin still in his system it was just an endless cycle."

"What the hell happened on that island…"

"I can explain."

The two adults turn in unison to face Robin, who stands in front of them, picking at his burnt costume.

"I thought I told you to get some rest."

"I can't." Robin responds and even with his mask on, Batman can tell his looking over at Wally.

"What happened?"

Robin launches into the story over the explosion, Ivy separating them and ends with finding Wally in the cave.

"What did she want with him?" Flash asks gently. During the story he had zipped off to get a chair for Robin and some water, both of which made the Boy Wonder extremely grateful.

"I…can fill that part in…"

"KF!" Robin leaps out of his chair and is by the red head's side at a speed that impresses the fastest man alive. "Dude, way to not die."

Wally cracks a weak grin, "What can I say? I'm talented."

Batman and Flash both appear in his line of vision and Wally closes his eyes to keep the room from spinning.

"She…was uh, impressed with my healing…wanted it for her plants."

"Did she take any blood from you?"

"Nah…banged me 'round a bit and then kissed me. Pretty sure you should call child services on her for that one…"

Flash's easy smile appears and he reaches out to smooth down Wally's hair, "You gave us a scare kid. You'll have to stay here for a few days but I'm glad you still got that sense of humor in ya."

Flash nods at Batman and the two leave the med-bay, more than likely going to get some Leaguers down to the island to take Ivy into custody. Wally coughs a bit after they leave and tries to sit up.

"Don't sit up. You're still recovering." Robin warns him and Wally laughs.

"You gonna change my bedpan?"

"Pft, as if. I'll leave that job for Superboy."

"Pretty sure you can't trick him into that, squirt."

"Hey! Idiot."

"Twerp."

"Goof."

"Goof? Seriously? Did Ivy's kiss send me back to the 1940's?" Wally coughs some more and goes quiet as Robin shifts his weight around on his feet.

"Hey…KF, thanks for earlier…with the building exploding. I should've caught that trip wire earlier."

"Dude…you're like…thirteen. You missed something, no big deal. It's why we got a team right? To look out for each other."

Robin feels something lift from his chest as Wally speaks and he knows he's lucky. Lucky that they're both alive, lucky that he has such a good friend and lucky that he probably won't get stuck changing Wally's bedpan.

"Yeah. You're right."

Wally's eyes brighten at Robin's words, "I'm so telling Aqualad you said that."

"…jerk."
