Chapter 1: Starry Eyes

When I first opened my eyes, I was blinded by the light from the sun as it heated my face. I covered my eyes, as someone whispered to me.

"There you go... Are you alright?" I couldn't make out why I was scared. Was it that this place was unfamiliar, the form before me was unfamiliar, or that I was unfamiliar?

I sat up, grabbing the form as if to confirm to myself that it was real. It was.

I looked up at him as he moved into the sun to shield my eyes. When my eyes adjusted, I could make out a face. It was smiling, but a mask covered his eyes. My hands still rested on his shoulders.

"Are you okay?" he repeated. "What's your name?"

"I-I'm fine, I..." I looked to the side. What was my name? I could remember numbers and letters, but they were all scrambled. I couldn't make out my name amidst the mass of information - even if it was so little. "I..."

"What's wrong?" the form asked, looming over me.

"I don't remember..." His eyes lit up in acknowledgment.

"Oh! A few kids from the Hive were here. They kind of made a mess of things." I looked around the room, observing all the rubble that lay on the floor.

"No, I didn't mean that," I whispered softly. He raised a masked eyebrow, the mask shifting to form to his face. "I don't remember my name. I don't remember anything..." His mouth fell open, looking down at me. He turned his head, looking behind him.

"Cyborg! Help me drive this guy to the hospital!" I clenched my hands on his shoulders. A terrifying sensation washed over me.

"No! No! Don't leave me! No!" I cried, tears starting to form in my eyes. He winced, shrugging my hands of him. I released him, pulling on the cloth on his arm instead. He stayed quiet as a large, robotic man walked over to us. I clenched my fingers around the cloth tighter, my lower lip starting to tremble.

"What's up, Robin?" he asked, cocking his head to the side a bit.

"We have to take him to the hospital. He really doesn't want to go," the boy, Robin, said. I shook my head in defiance, a slight pain coming to it.

"I don't want you to leave me..." I whispered, my eyes flicking to the side, away from the two. My head was starting to register the immense pain growing in it. I whined, softly, removing one of my hands to grab at it. Robin looked to Cyborg, shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head. Robin moved to pick me up, and I let go of him to wrap my arms around his neck. I bit my lip as Robin carried me outside to a car. It had the same blue metallic designs as half of Cyborg's body. He sat me on the hood and looked around. Three others showed up; a dark girl, a red-headed girl, and a green boy.

"Raven, are you taking the T-Car?" Robin asked. She gave a brisk nod, pulling up her hood and getting in the front seat. She buckled in, then popped her head out the window.

"Can we go now?" she asked, annoyed. Robin lifted me off the hood and put me in the backseat as Cyborg held the door open. Robin started to pull away and I grabbed for him, throwing my arms around his neck to stop him from leaving.

"N-no! Don't go!" I cried, my voice small and wispy. Robin gave me a small, sad smile before he slid out of my grasp.

"I have to. I'll meet you at the Tower. Cyborg, hook him up in the infirmary. Raven, see what you can find in his mind, will you? Be careful, Starry Eyes. Don't move around too much." Robin ordered, closing the door behind him. My heart fluttered at the nickname. Robin whispered to Cyborg before he turned and went over to talk to the red-head and the green boy. The ride home was accompanied by soft hip hop music playing in the background. There was a large T in the middle of an island. I was wondering how we'd get there, as the T-Car turned it's wheels horizontally and hovered over the water to the island. It landed on an empty space hidden between all the rocks, then came to a resting point. Cyborg got out and opened my door, ready to pick me up.

"I-I can walk..." I whispered, looking down. He shrugged, slowly helping me out anyway.

"Whatever you say, Starry Eyes," Cyborg said, watching me carefully as Raven and I followed him through the T to the infirmary. We walked into the dark room, and Cyborg patted a bed for me to sit on while he went over to some medical equipment. I pulled myself onto it, sitting on the edge. Raven stood before me, silent.

"Where's Robin?" I asked, looking down at my feet. I didn't know I was wearing boots. "And why is everyone calling me 'Starry Eyes'?" Cyborg chuckled a little. He stuck a few wires on my temples as he spoke.

"Robin's probably riding the R-cycle back here. He might already be here, as far as I know," Cyborg explained, attaching more wires to various parts of my body. He turned on the monitor behind me. "As for your nickname, it'll probably stick until Raven plucks your real name out of your head. It's because you have complete heterochromia. In English; your left eye's blue, your right eye's green." His eyes scanned the screen behind me, looking over my health. Just then, Robin walked in.

"Is he okay?" Robin asked, walking over to stand beside Raven. Cyborg hummed a little bit, squinting his eyes to look deeper. I started fiddling with my fingers, intertwining and separating them repeatedly. Why didn't Robin look at me?

"From what I can see, there's nothing wrong with him except for the head trauma that he has. That's what's causing his amnesia. He shouldn't move very much, and rest all he can. There's not much we can do for him, except give him a place to stay that doesn't involve being constantly cooped up." Cyborg replied, shrugging his shoulders. I smiled. I didn't mind the idea of being cooped up, as long as I was near Robin. He looked to Raven. She held up a hand to silence him before leaning down to look me in the eyes. I stared back into her purple gaze.

"Azarath metrion zinthos," she whispered. Suddenly, my mind went dark. I was overloaded with the numbers and letters again, before some of the letters formed words, and numbers formed dates and times. Three letters pulled themselves from the wreckage, just before Raven pulled out.

"Find anything?" Robin asked, putting his hand on her shoulder. She nodded, narrowing her eyes.

"I found enough. He's called 'Hex,' and there's a reason he was in the building where you found him," she said, her voice growing unstable. She reached into my jacket pocket and pulled out a yellow, circular... thing, with an antennae on it. Robin froze, snatching the thing from Raven to get a closer look. He frowned deeply, looking from the thing to me. I furrowed my brow.

"What is it? What does it mean?" I asked, uneasiness settling in. I shifted my weight from right to left, hugging myself.

"It's a Hive Transmitter. It means you were there because you were helping the Hive students to rob that building," he said, shoving the transmitter in my face. "It means you're the bad guy!" His voice raised as he spoke, stressed. I shrunk beneath his angry gaze, small whimpers escaping my mouth as I fought back tears. I shook my head, and Cyborg put a comforting hand on my shoulder. A bit of hair fell into my eyes. Raven looked at Robin.

"Should we send him to them?" she asked. I popped up, straightening my back. I grabbed Robin's arm and looked up at him.

"I don't wanna go! I don't wanna be bad! I wanna be good, like you. Please don't send me there..." I cried, though I wasn't sure if I could trust my voice. It came out weak and frail, like my entire body seemed to be. I looked up at him as a single, stray tear managed to fall from my eyes. I hid my face with my wrist, wiping the tear away.

"You heard the man, Rob. Besides, who knows if he was under some sort of mind control? They'd probably just send him out into the field again. I could make sure he gets proper care. Besides," Cyborg started taking off the wires from my body as he spoke. "I think we need someone to help around the tower. There's a smell that doesn't seem to go away. Maybe Hex can clean up a bit while we're out?" Robin looked at Cyborg, questioning if he was being serious or not. When so signs of laughter showed through, Robin nodded.

"It's too early for me to make a clear decision. We wait. I'll give you a week, Hex." Robin said, shaking me off and turning to leave. My chest snapped in half. 'Hex'? What happened to 'Starry Eyes'? Before I knew what I was doing, I hopped off the table and ran towards Robin, only to be blocked by Raven. I whined, spinning on my toes to get past her, then threw my arms around Robin. He stopped and looked down at me. His gaze was angry, I knew. But he noticed me! He knew it was me!

"Th-thank you, so much," I said, nuzzling his shoulder. I felt his gloved hand on my head, and my chest melted back together. I felt warm, and everything was sweet.
