Sick Day

Monday May 8th 1:36 pm; at Gotham Academy

"Richard, did you hear Joe got the chicken pox?" The boy beside him whispered.

"No, I didn't." Richard whispered back.

"And you had to sit by him." The boy laughed, "He just got all the things today."

Richard just got a heat flash and didn't want to say more.

3 day ago

Joe was drinking a cup of coke. He smirked at Richard as he was do just that. Richard was eating a lobster and had no drank. Joe smiled grow when he noticed Richard was starting get thirsty.

So Joe got another coke and a new cup. He put the rest of his coke in the new coke and some of the new coke in with it. He smirked and walked back to Richard.

"Hey Richard~. Do you want a drank? I bought it just for you, shorty~." He said in a weird way, you would think he was trying to flirt.

"Uh.. Sure, thanks." Richard took the cup of coke and drank it slowly.

Joe smirked evilly and Richard noticed it. He could tell he did something to the drink. He looked at his teeth. He smelled his breathe. He didn't know what he did.

"What did you do to the drink?" Richard was worried.

"Oh~.. I just made you drink after..." He smiled.

"After who?" Richard lend closer.

"Me~!" He then ran off.

2 days after the coke thing; at Gotham Academy

Richard had a another heat flash that wouldn't go. It was driving him crazy.

"Richard, are you ok?" Artemis asked him.

"Not really." Richard said in a small respond.

"Lets take you to the office." She said.

Artemis took him to the office. He had a tempter of over 100 degrees.

"This is bad for someone your size and age. I'll call your dad." The woman behind the desk said. She picked up the phone and dialed Bruce. "Hello, Mr. Wayne. Richard is sick... He running a fever of 106... Ok, I'll tell him that," She hung up and said, "Richard, your dad told me he is on his way."

'I bet he said more than that.' He thought, but kept it in his mind.

16 minutes latter

"Richard, baby! Daddy's here!" Bruce seem like his normal state, when it came to his baby bird.

"DAD! Don't say that!" Richard hissed.

Bruce pulled him into a huge bear hug. "It will be ok!"

Bruce took his now blushing bird to the car waiting outside for them. Alfred was the driver for it. (Like always.) Alfred asked if he was ok. He just huffed and said he had a fever and couldn't eat.

A day latter

His skin had red dots. His fever was still there. He hasn't eaten since Monday morning. He fells full, but at the same time not. He had the chicken pox.

"Ugnnn..." Was what escaped his lips. "Ugmnnn.."

"Master Richard. Here put this wet wash cloth on your head." Alfred said as he held out a wash cloth.

"Thanks..." He put it on his head and sighed.

It stopped the hurting he had in his head. Now only if the rest of his body would stop.

Bruce soon came up to the room. He talked with Alfred then left. Alfred then turned back to Richard.

"Master Richard. Master Bruce and I have to go out tonight. Master Wally will look after you." Alfred wait for it to sink in.

"Wally? Couldn't asked someone who isn't... What am I looking for? Oh! Talkative. My head really hurts." Richard heads hurts just thinking about it.

"Sorry Master Richard, but I have to go." Alfred left the room.

Richard sat alone in his room on his bed. He listen to the car drive away. Then one drive in the gate. He still remain on his bed, not wanting to get up.

"Hello? Richard...? Are you here?" Wally called for him.

"Wally.. Up in room.. Please don't come up.." Richard called back.

Wally walked in to the big living room and turned on the tv. (Really he was reading a love story, but shhh don't tell.) Richard soon fell asleep.

When Wally was done with the story (Which was Twilight), he decide to check on Richard. He hide his book in his book bag. Along with a whole bunch of other books. All love stories.

"Richard? Are you still ok?" Wally open the door.

Richard was sleeping on his bed and had on a wash cloth on his head. He was snoring softly. He had red dots all over. He was panting also. It was weird to see him in this state.

Wally walked over to the bird. The speedster gingerly touch the bird head. He pulled back with his super speed. Richard was burning. The touched made Richard open an eye. Then he open both eyes wide.

"Um.. Hello, Wally.. What are you doing in my room?" He sound like he was tried.

"I came to check on you. Is that a crime?" Wally joked.

"Ha.. Ha..." Richard still didn't show he was happy or sad. No emotions.

"Ok check. Richard do you want to play a game?" Wally pulled out his book-bag.

"Here! Let me see what you have." Richard pulled the bag out of Wally's hands.

"AH! Give it back!" Wally thoughts were on the books he was reading.

Richard sat there looking at the thing in the bag. 'Books? When does Wally read books?' Richard moved a book and saw the of it. 'Twilight? He reads romance novels?'

"Richard-please-don't-tell-anyone! My-mom-got-me-hocked-on-them!" Wally was in overdrive.

"Wally, it's ok.. A bit creepy, but ok." Richard said, which cool down Wally.

"I really like them and I'm on the 2nd time reading them." Wally said.

"Well.. Tell me about them.." Richard smirked.
