Chapter 1: Oh Crap
Robin slowly opened his eyes. The bright lights above were harsh and he shielded his sensitive orbs from them. "Robin?"
Robin looked over to see Batman sitting beside his bed. It took him a minute to realize where he was and that a hand was gently smoothing his raven hair back. "What happened?" his voice was slightly slurred.
"You were captured by Psimon while on a mission."
Memories of the mission began coming back to the boy. It was a risky mission, Batman had told them this when he had assigned it to the team. It involved hacking into one of Psimon's secured testing facilities and making it out with files on his latest project. But it, of course, had gone all wrong. Half way through downloading the files Robin and Artemis (who had been guarding Robin) were struck with a gas bomb. That was the last thing that Robin remembered.
"How long?"
Though his question was vague Batman understood its meaning. "Twelve hours since you were captured, six since they found you two. Your EEG was off the charts but it looks like you'll be fine."
It was then that Robin heard a low groaning, the sound of someone trying to regain consciousness. He looked around the room and saw Artemis on a bed across the room but she wasn't showing any signs of waking up.
Robin was about to write it off as the medications in his system when he heard the groan again.
"H-hello?"
Startled he looked over to Artemis again but she was still out of it. "Did you just say something?"
Batman looked at his protégé with a worried expression. "No."
"Can anyone hear me?"
Robin was looking around frantically now. He was pretty sure that hearing voices was not a good thing. "Who said that?"
"I said that idiot." There was that voice again.
"Who are you?" Robin would have smacked himself if Batman had not been in the room, talking to yourself was definitely not good.
"Who do you think, dork? Wait is that me?"
Robin was confused now; he had been looking at Artemis to insure that it was not the blonde archer that was speaking when the voice in his head spoke again. "Artemis?" he asked uncertainly.
"Oh crap." There was a slight pause as Robin tried to process what was happening.
"Robin put your hands over your eyes."
"What?" Robin felt like his head was spinning, this was ridiculous.
"Just do it!"
Batman was looking at Robin with an odd expression. "Robin, are you ok?"
Batman's only answer was Robin slapping both of his hands over his masked eyes and peeking out from between his fingers. Suffice it to say Batman was now beyond worried. He got up and walked briskly out of the door in search of Miss Martian.
"Oh crap, not good."
"What?"
"I can see your hands over your eyes as if they were over my eyes."
"Oh crap." Robin could not believe this was happening.
At that moment Batman entered with M'gann close behind. The martian walked up to Robin and placed her hands on his temples "I need you to relax Robin." After a few seconds she pulled back from his mind and looked at Batman. "You were right."
A dark look passed across Batman's masked features. "Can you fix it?"
"I cannot but Uncle J'onn might be able to."
"What's going on?" Robin asked uncertainly as he looked from M'gann to his mentor.
"It appears that Artemis' consciousness is somehow stuck inside of your mind." Batman said with a matter-of-fact air about him.
Robin felt his jaw hang open slightly as he processed what Batman was saying.
"I could have told you that"
"How soon can Martian Manhunter get here?" Robin was anxious to get Artemis out of his head.
"He's on a covert mission, he should return shortly. Contact me if you need anything." With that Batman swept out of the room. Robin wasn't sure if he was going to attempt to contact J'onn or if he was going to go beat some crooks to a bloody pulp. But he strongly suspected that it was the latter.
"Maybe it would be best if you tried to sleep." M'gann offered as she left the room. Robin could vaguely hear KF demanding to be let in as the door swung closed behind her.
"This is so not happening!"
"Goodnight!" Robin growled, not in the mood to discuss this.
And Robin let his mind drift off to sleep, wondering what in the world he could have done to deserve sharing his mind with a girl.
A/N Apologies for any OOCness. I am still learning how to write these characters…
The second chapter is in the works but I am having some writer's block so I do not when it will be up…
I also am not as happy with this story as I have been with others…
