Dedication: This is dedicated to Ally, my archive YOU RULE! AOL Lacks COFFEE!

In which Tim gets sick, Dick has the Flu, and Cass is ticked off at both.

Cough "Ow!" Hack! Hack! Hack! "Ugh! I Cough don't want to go to school today. "Augh" Tim Drake muttered as he shut off his alarm and crawled out of bed. Cough! Cough! "Augh!" Hack! Hack! Tim had to pause because it is really hard to get ready for class when you are dying from coughing to hard. Suddenly, the world starting turning and the boy sank to his knees. Unable to stop the overwhelming nausea, Tim heaved. Blood mixed with last nights Pot Roast, as the boy continued to cough violently, barley being able to breath. Tim's senses picked up the noiseless entrance of Cassandra Cain as the new Batgirl came through his bedroom window.

Seeing his condition and reading his unspoken plea for help, Cass immediately did the only thing she could, she screamed at him, "STUPID TIM! BREATH THROUGH NOSE! DEEP! NOT MOUTH! BREATHING THROUGH MOUTH MAKES YOU COUGH MORE!"

Even though Tim was close to passing out he obeyed. When he was done coughing, Tim gasped for air. "Thanks Cass" His ragged voice rasped. Batgirl wiped his face and said "Change shirt. STINKY"

As Tim changed his clothes, Cass informed him that the reason she was visiting was because Dick was in the Hospital. "I though he HATED being in the hospital! Is he hurt?" Tim asked Cass shook her head, "No. Sick, Babs says he collapsed on roof last night, has high fever, very weak.Doctors.. have little hope…no cure yet". Tim coughed, the relazation was plain to Cass whose one of many talents included reading body language, Tim was worried. The young boy wonder shook with both exhaustion and fear. "They…they don't have a cure?" asked Tim. Batgirl shook her head. "So they're just going to let this disease…KILL DICK?" Tim yelled. Cass nodded, "They…say he not fighting, Is for the best…. best to let him go then to let him stay and suffer."

Tim was so upset that he began coughing violently. "What!" he cried Cough "What do they mean" Hack "he isn't fighting?" Cough Cough Cough "Dick never gives up!" Cough Hack. Cass smacked him in the back of the head, "Stupid Tim! The disease eating Dick, doctors know Dick suffering and finding cure takes time…time Dick not have. The longer it takes to find a cure the longer Dick suffers".

Tim hung his head in defeat. "I still don't believe Dick gave up." SMACK "Ow!" Tim yelled "Cass! What" Cough "was that for?!" Cough. Batgirl growled in annoyance and frustration, "Stupid Tim! So clueless! Dick not give up! Doctors give up on Dick!

Cough Hack Wheeze "Oh. Well I'm going to be late for class… " Tim started

WHACK! "YOU SICK!!! YOU NOT GOING TO SCHOOL!" Cass screamed. Tim rubbed his cheek "I guess Oracle took care of Wheeze my call for absence?" Cough Cough Hack Cough. Batgirl nodded and Tim sighed with relief and collapsed on his bed. Cass went to the ktitchen to brew some coffee shaking her head at Tims lack of intelligence. Maybe caffine would get the third Robin's mind jogging again. Looking at her friend laying spread eagle on his bed, his body heaving from coughing. "Poor Tim, poor stupid clueless, sick, helpless Tim" Cass smiled. "Yes, he needs Coffee".
