A/N: Sorry for the long wait. Thank you very much for reading my story, & PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW!

~M'gann-POV~

"M'gann!" I heard someone calling my name, but I couldn't tell who it was. My brain was so full of thoughts and feelings I was having sensory overload. After a few moments my mind began to clear somewhat and I realised it was my Uncle J'onn calling me. How could I forget him? "M'gann, wake up!".

I finally completely woke-up with a deep gasp of breath. I quickly sit up and look around, and I almost can't believe what I'm seeing. All around me is my team, and I knew if I couldn't feel their minds I would've thought all of this was a dream.

"You're all alive!" I shout as I begin to feel tears make their way down my face. The others are in various states of sitting and standing with most of them making some type of groaning noise.

"J'onn, what happened?" Batman said loudly, and it was the closest I had ever heard him come to yelling since I've met him.

"The exercise…" Uncle J'onn begins to say slowly, "It all went wrong."

"Exercise?" Robin questions, and I can all of a sudden feel confusion and dawning comprehension that I know are not my own rush upon me. I try to put my mental shields up, yet I can still feel. This is worrying, but I decide to leave this alone for now until I understand what Uncle J'onn is talking about.

Batman looks at Robin and his expression softens as he says, "Try to remember." I decide to follow his advice and I begin to search my memories. He continues to speak as what happened starts to come back to me.

"What you experienced was a training exercise," Batman says, "Man-Hunter psychically linked the six of you in an artificial reality. You knew this going in. What you didn't know was that it was a train for failure exercise. No matter what the team accomplished the scenario was designed to grow worse. Still, you were aware nothing was real. Including the deaths of the entire Justice League."

"That is why you hardly grieved," Uncle J'onn continues, "Even when Wolf was disintegrated before your very eyes. But all of that changed when Artemis consciously Miss Martian knew it was not real, her subconscious mind could not make that distinction. She forgot it was only an exercise, and her subconscious took control making all of you forget too."

"I-I'm so sorry," I said brokenly as a fresh wave of tears went down my face. Even as all of my friends looked at me I could feel that none of them blamed me, but that just made me cry even more.

"This isn't her fault!" Superboy yells. "Why didn't you just stop the exercise!"

"We tried," Uncle J'onn said, "But M'gann had a psychic death-grip on the scenario. Even Artemis, who should have awakened upon her death, was so convinced she had passed she slipped into a coma." At those words I began crying in earnest. Even as I sobbed Uncle J'onn continued speaking "I realized I would have to wrestle control from Miss Martian from within, but upon entering that reality I was overcome by your collective emotion. There was…too much...noise to think clearly, to remember why I was their." He said, searching for the write words.

"The deaths of Aqualad and Superboy helped," he continued, "But only when the Mothership exploded and Robin and Kid Flash were silenced did my mind clear enough for me to remember my true purpose. To shock M'gann out of the exercise, before your coma's became permanent. My apologizes, I had no idea a training exercise could be so dangerous. So damaging."

Anguish, anguish like I had never felt was my only emotion. All I could do was cry, and sob, and repeat. As I continued crying I could feel my team, my family, come closer and wrap their arms around me ina group hug. This just made my pain worse, thinking about how close I had come to losing them, and it was all my own fault.

Even as I melted into my teams collective embrace I heard Uncle J'onn speaking to Batman in a whisper so low I doubt anyone besides me and Superboy can hear them. "As bad as all that?" Batman asked.

` "Perhaps worse," Uncle J'onn replied.

"Yet this is not what troubles you," Red Tornado stated.

"Make no mistake," Uncle J'onn says, "My niece is untrained and cannot be held responsible for this, for our, debacle, but in terms of raw power she has the strongest telepathic mind of anyone I have ever encountered by far. And that is before we take into whatever that disturbance was into account."

"What disturbance?" Superboy asks. The other four members of our team look at him in confusion as I finally begin to settle down from my sobbing even as tears continue to flow down my face. Our mentors look at him in slight shock. "I have super-hearing, remember?"

Batman sighs before speaking, "Shortly before you awoke there was, for lack of a better term, a disturbance. All six of you began to float above your pedestals and began speaking as one."

"I don't remember that," Robin says, pausing for a moment, looking at each of us. We all shook our head no, none of us remembered this either. Robin then continued, "What did we say?"

"You said you 'We are fire, and life incarnate'," Uncle J'onn says, "You said 'Now and forever we are phoenix' before falling onto your tables and passing out once more. Shortly after that you once again awoke, as yourselves this time."

"What does that even mean?" Artemis asks, sounding annoyed.

"We don't know," Black Canary says, "But don't worry. We'll figure it out."
