Robins P.O.V


I woke up tried as usual, but for some reason felt worse. Probably because all the nights were adding up and the battle with the Joker and Harley yesterday. I was also hungry. Which reminded me that I had to go to the Watchtower every morning from now one. Great...


This was going to be awkward...


~~~


I sat there eating the plate of eggs and bacon Wonder Woman had handed me. Luckily I was almost done and could leave soon. I kept seeing all the looks the Leaguers were giving me. They felt bad, and they were bad at hiding it too.


I looked down at my plate and noticed I was done eating. I made my way towards the zeta beam, but felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked behind me and saw Wonder Woman and The Flash.


"Robin, can we talk?" Wonder Woman said.


"Sure... Why?" I asked them.


"We talked to Bruce the other day, and he said he hasn't built any secret emergency rooms." Flash said looking saddened for me. My eyes widened at what he said. Really, they had asked him about that!?


"So where are you staying?" Wonder Woman said serious. I looked down unsure of what to say.


"Look none of the other leaguers know about this, and they don't have to." Wonder Woman continued. I sighed and then said," It's this underground room I found a long time ago." They looked shocked yet impressed at my answer.


"You can stay with me and Wally if you want..." Flash offered.


"No! I'm fine! Really..." I said not wanting to feel weak and vulnerable. I had already felt that way when they offered me food.


"Then I want to see this place." Wonder Woman said heading towards the zeta beams. What was she going to say when all she saw was a concrete room?! Man, she would not let me stay in there, but knowing her there was no way out... I just had to face the facts...


Kid Flash's P.O.V.


(A few hours before)


I quickly grabbed the small mattress and stuffed it in the room. I threw a small blanket and two pillows over it and placed some water bottles near the bed. What else? What else?! Think Wally! Think! Maybe a dresser with some civvies (civilian clothing)? Sure why not? I quickly added that and ran out of the small hideout. I hope Robin didn't think to much about it when he sees this... I just hope he's happy, but it doesn't feel like enough. I need to do something bigger... Better. I had to find a way to help Bruce out of jail... But would a teenager like me wouldn't be good enough to get a man out of prison... I had to try though...


Robins P.O.V.


I slowly made my way towards my secret hideout. I was nervous at what they were going to say. Of course they wouldn't let me stay here anymore. I stopped right in front of the hideout and looked at them. They gave me a strange look as a turned back around and reached for the panel hiding it. I lifted it and jumped in.


I heard the two leaguers jump in behind me, but I was too shocked to care. The small room had some water bottles, a mattress with pillows and a blanket, even a dresser! I looked at the leaguers in confusion as they examined the place.


"So how did you find this place?" The Flash asked running around.


"I found it a long time ago when I was out on a mission." I said still fazed by all the new furniture. Who put all of this stuff here, and who knew I was staying here?!


"I guess if you're fine here then you can stay, but if you need help just ask us. Don't worry about feeling vulnerable, you still are only 13 Dick." Wonder Woman said heading towards the exit. I followed as we made out way back to the zeta tube.


I was happy at what this person did supplying me with water and all, but who was it, and why?
