[CLOSED]
WHO: Dick, Artemis, and Wally
WHERE: Downtown Heropa.
WHEN: 7/12, nighttime.
WHAT: Robin's emotional turmoil culiminates in the world's stupidest injury. Stupid teenage dramatics to follow.
WARNINGS: References to a broken bone? And probably yelling.
[ It's 10:20 PM, and it's finally stopped raining that particular variety of Florida rain that's not so much like a drizzle as like the sky's just up and poured a bucket of water on your head. It's wet and it's too warm and there's still lightning flashing off in the distance, and Robin's just made the stupidest mistake of his career.
Okay, so no one realistically-fake-died, and nothing exploded. Which is a plus, considering his track record. But breaking a leg in a fall from a third story roof has to be — without any hyperbole — the most embarrassing thing he's done in his entire life.
He could make a lot of excuses: he's not used to the weather, the railing was slick, he hadn't checked his equipment, the terrain's unfamiliar, he's distracted and emotionally compromised. He doesn't have his team. Every single one is terrible, even if they're all true.
For several excruciating minutes, while he waits for the painkillers to work their magic, Robin debates his options. An ambulance would attract attention. He's pretty sure he couldn't hobble all the way to the hospital like this, even if there was one within the city limits. Maybe the ground will swallow him up right along with his shame and he won't have to admit that any of this ever happened.
It doesn't.
Out of reasonable options, he sends off a text with his coordinates to Artemis, who, logically, is the person on their team most likely to know how to deal with injuries:
SOS.
Achey breaky leg.
Please don't ask.
And moments later, a text to Wally with the same coordinates:
Need a ride to the hospital.
If you're not married to SB's couch now.
Faster is better.
It takes a minute for him to realize the gravity of his possible mistake. If they find a way to fight over this, too... well, maybe yelling makes bones knit faster. ]

Fine, fine, I'll let you. You don't have to beg me.

Yeah, this might have been a mistake, but it's a mistake he's gonna follow through to its vaguely embarrassing conclusion. So he takes Wally's arm. ]
Wow. You're too good to me.
no subject
Try not to OD on those pain pills they got you. Don't get too crazy just because the dragon's not awake. [Meaning of course Levi.]
no subject
Yeah, yeah. No wild parties. You know I hate pain meds anyway. Makes my head all... [ vague loopy hand gesture.
He takes the crutches, balancing again easily as he heads in the door. He wants to say thank you, or sorry, or what does this mean?, or let's forget this ever happened, or maybe all of the above. But he doesn't. ]
Go to bed, dude. You look terrible.

[Wally ducks into his room before anything else that idiotic can fall out of his mouth and he throws himself onto his bed with a groan. What does he do?
What does he do?
he likes me, he likes me
he likes me, he likes me]
