Author's Note: I know I should have gotten to this a while ago but I didn't. Also LAST CHAPTER! Bwahahahah. I own nothing.

10. Awakening

The rest of the league members arrived about five minutes after Batman made the call. They found Batman and the Flash in the hanger trying to wake up their respective partners. Black Canary rushed to Superboy as Aquaman and Green Arrow rushed to their protégés. J'hhon rushed to his niece gently lifting her into a sitting position. A few minutes later they were rewarded when Wally groaned and woke up coughing. The Flash ran off and came back milliseconds later with a bottle of water. He tipped it so Wally could take a drink. Wally sipped and coughed again. Green eyes opened and blinked hard before Wally looked around and saw the rest of the team laid out around him. He began babbling, talking at practically light speed.

"Wally slow down! You're gonna hurt yourself kiddo! Take a deep breath, what happened?" Wally took a deep breath and opened his mouth to explain but was cut off by a groan from the prone figure in Batman's arms. He craned his neck to see Robin face half covered in blood, whites of her mask slowly becoming more visible meaning that the eyes under them were opening. Wally began to vibrate and panic again. Barry didn't catch most of it but he caught three very scary words.

Dead, bloody, and Tornado.

Robin groaned again and twitched. All eyes were fixed on the youngest member of their superhero family, the room was silent except for Wally's constant babbling. The whites on Robins mask opened entirely and she blinked up at Batman.

"Batman?" The whites of her mask widened and she shot to her feet wobbling slightly but not caring.

"Where are they?" Wally shook his head, his voice finally slowing down to understandable levels.

"Gone." Robin was wobbling again and Batman caught her as she stumbled.

"Owww." Batman glanced at the Flash as the others went back to their attempts to revive the other teens while Superman carefully began to cut Wally free of the metal.

"Flash, med kit now." Barry nodded at Batman and raced off. He returned moments later with a white kit and a kitchen stool. Batman sat Robin down on the stool as Superboy started to come around. Robin would have rolled her eyes if her head didn't hurt so bad. Batman took hold of her arm and carefully injected a mild anesthetic from the med kit into her arm. Superboy looked around blinking carefully as M'ggan was helped to her feet by J'hhon. She glanced at Superboy and smiled as she saw he was alright. Robin flinched slightly as Batman cleaned the cut on the back of her head with disinfectant. He paused but continued after a moment. Kaldur was the next to awaken at the slight, nearly silent gasp of pain Robin gave as Batman began to stitch up the cut. He looked around, silver eyes slightly panicked.

Then he spotted the league members and smiled slightly as Aquaman helped him to his feet. They spoke in Atlantian as Aquaman hugged his apprentice. Wally almost fell forward as Superman finished cutting him loose. Barry caught him and sat him down next to Robin while he rushed off to find something for the young speedster to eat. Robin had stopped fussing about not needing stitches a while ago instead sitting watching her feet as Wally explained what had happened to the gathered adults. It only took a few minutes for him to explain the initial attack, it was what had happened after that none of them were clear on. Robin was still being stitched up and Batman glared at anyone who tried to question her while he was finishing the stitches. Artemis was still out cold.

"Ok but who were they?" Barry questioned as his nephew bit into his third protein bar. Wally shook his head, glancing at the burns on his arms and torso from where the metal had been heated and bent into place. The burns were healing faster now that he had protein in his system. Batman cut the thread and patted Robin on the shoulder. Robin nodded slightly and pulled up her holo computer. Half of the screen was graying and Robin sighed shutting off the computer and opening the back two compartments on her glove. Water dripped out of them and electricity sparked. Robin growled under her breath and yanked the glove off tossing it aside as Artemis groaned and sat up, Green Arrow supporting her as if they were really related. Robin almost laughed, for a team that was founded because of the League's lack of trust in them they had a hell of a lot of secrets from each other. Artemis sat up looking around desperately, scared.

"Wait where are the Reds?" Robin didn't turn as she spoke.

"They're gone. All three of them." The league looked around at each other, eyebrows raised as Robin began to explain what had happened to them. Green Arrows eyes widened when Robin recounted the lack of warning they had been given, attacked the second they entered the Mountain. Her explanation was short and to the point. Artemis sighed in relief as Robin glossed over her panicking. Artemis was forced to pick up the story from where Robin had blacked out. She glossed over her panic attack, sobbing in the vents as she watched her friends dying, and claimed she just fell down the vents into Wally's trophies room and found her arrow. She had made a plan from there. She had managed to shoot the arrow perfectly into the incomplete circuit, allowing the EMP to take down the Reds and free the others. She faltered as she explained how Robin hadn't been breathing, how Robin had been technically dead for a good two minutes while she did CPR.

Batman tensed, eyes on his partner as she looked anywhere but at him. He glared and laid a hand on her shoulder. She shrugged it off. He raised an eyebrow. She shook her head slightly. The rest of the room was staring at them at that point but neither detective was paying any attention to them. Artemis cleared her throat and Batman motioned for her to continue. She did so finishing the story with an explanation of Red Tornado's betrayal.

"And then I blacked out. I have no idea why Red would do that. It doesn't make sense." The team looked at each other except Robin who was glaring at the spot where the Reds had been.

They were gonna get to the bottom of this, whether the league liked it or not.
