Work Text:
Cyborg: Robin, are you sure you should be working out outside? It’s pretty hot, why do you think I'm in the shade? I don’t wanna overheat and get shut down.
Robin: Evil doesn’t hide in the shade, We need to be prepared for anything.
Cyborg: And I'm pretty sure evil doesn't want to heat stroke as well.
Robin: I'm pretty sure you are just worrying about nothing, I can handle this‘Sarcastic’I'm a “big boy” now.
He did the quote on quote gesture when he said “big boy”, cyborg just sighs and shakes his head at his leader.
robin:’Scoffs’and i'm not a little kid who needs to be reminded by his parents that he needs to take care of himself, Because I am perfectly capable of doing that.
Cyborg: Well you need to take a break because overworking yourself is not a good thing.
Robin: And letting evil win isn't a good thing either.
Cyborg: Come inside for a small break at least, I'm not going to let you work yourself to death just because you didn’t take care of yourself, I won't let that happen to you, and what am I going to tell the others? Especially your siblings?!
Robin: They'll be ok.
Cyborg: No they won’t because they’ll go after ME for not keeping an eye on you!
Robin: I mean……you could always rebuild yourself if they end up tearing you apart.
Cyborg: Does it look like I want to find out what they'll do to me? I don't even want to think about the damage at all, I'm already getting nightmares just thinking about it, Especially from Tim or Damien!
Robin:’laughs but starts to cough’
Cyborg: Are you drinking anything at all? You know you need to drink something or else you'll start to feel dehydrated, How long have you been out here anyway?
Robin: Only for like………Maybe an hour or two, or three.
Cyborg: Robin!
Robin: What?
Cyborg: I swear, I'm going to drag your sorry butt into an ice bath if I have to if you get a head stroke!
Robin: Come on cyborg, I can take care of-..........
He stayed silent for a while, and Cyborg got worried about him.
Cyborg: robin? Are you ok? You seem to be awfully quiet now, is something wrong?
Robin: i-i……..
Then he falls to the ground with a big thud and becomes unconscious, cyborg gasped and picked robin up, taking his temperature using his robotic technology to check robin’s temperature.
Cyborg: robin, why do you keep doing this to yourself?
He takes Robin inside and gets an ice bath ready, he had put some ice packets on robin to make sure it didn’t get too bad before the ice bath was ready for him.
Robin: c-cyborg…….
Cyborg: Hey, don’t worry, I got this under control so you don’t have to worry about anything else but yourself, even though I know that’s a tough task for you.
Robin: I-i heard that…….not true…..not true at all.
Cyborg: yes it is and you know it.
Robin:’tries to stick his tongue out but fails, he groans’
Cyborg:’puts robin in the ice bath’
Robin: I hope you're aware t-thhat I'm going to n-need a new pair of clothes b-because mine are going to be f-f-freezing c-cold.
Cyborg: it’s better than becoming a baked potato.
Robin: don’t say that or star will think I'm an actual baked potato and try to eat me or something, I don't want to know how that will end.
Cyborg: Neither do i, that girl will basically eat anything, Even the burnt pancakes raven made that one die, And she ate them with mustard.
Robin lets out a weak laugh remembering the incident.
Robin: ya……
Cyborg:’soaks a cloth in cold water and puts it on robin’s forehead’this should help you get your temperature down, good thing we have more than one bathroom, in case someone needs to use it but you’re still in the tub, i’ll tell the others that you’re in here so-
Robin: sorry.
Cyborg: huh?
Robin: I'm sorry I didn't listen to you, I didn't mean to cause so much pain, I just wanted to become stronger so I could protect everyone, Because I failed everyone so many times and you got hurt because of it, I don't want that to happen, I'm scared of something bad happening if I'm not strong enough to save any of you.
Cyborg: Robin, You're a human being, you know that you have your own limits, That doesn't mean you push yourself past your limits to the point where you pass out.
Robin was about to say something but Cyborg stopped him.
Cyborg: And don't even try to say anything because you know it's true, It doesn't make you a bad leader at all, But you need to be aware that you can't save all of us, I don't want to be harsh but it's true, Sometimes we get stuck in situations where we can't be saved at the same time.
Robin: I know and that's what I hate……i’m the leader, yet I can't even protect my own team.
He sighs and leans close to cyborg.
Robin: I'm just worried that I'm going to lose one of you, I care about all of you and I won't forgive myself if something bad happen, I don't know how I would live if one of you died and…..I couldn't do anything about it, That's something I'm terrified about, But I'm going to fail all of you in all feel alone.
Cyborg:’hugs robin’
Robin: I don't want to be alone, Because it's terrifying to be alone…..where no one is around you, Where you’re just by yourself, with no one by your side at all.
Cyborg: robin……
Robin: I think about these moments a lot because I'm worried that one day, They're going to come true, And I won't be able to do anything about it.
Cyborg:’pats his head gently’hey, don’t worry, i’m not going anywhere, i promise.
Robin:’smiles and closes his eyes’thanks cyborg……you’re a really good friend.
Cyborg:’smiles’you’re welcome.
