Confusion and Fear
I remember running. I could breathe at all hardly, and the sand kept me from moving fast enough. The moon was high and full in the sky. Where I was running, I don't know, what had happened, I had no idea. I just had to figure out how the hell I got in this stupid desert, and how I was supposed to get out! I stopped for a moment and sat on a large boulder. I looked down at what I was wearing. Where the hell did this outfit come from? Where was I? Flashes of my father came to mind. I couldn't remember how I got in this stupid place, but I could remember him? I lay back across the boulder and looked at the stars. I guess there was nothing to do but wait till morning. Why did the desert have to be so weird? It was frickin cold at night, and then during the day it was hotter than a frickin jalapeno! The sun rose a couple of hours later. With it rose the heat. The outfit had me sweating before the sun was above the horizon.
I jumped up almost immediately after feeling the full force of the heat. Guess it was time to move on. I walked for a while, trying to remember. A scene, or a flash, or maybe an emotion, and it hit me then. Rage, I remember being exceedingly angry. About what I have no idea. I walked to a gorge and found a small house at the bottom. I climbed down as quickly and cautiously as I dared. Maybe someone did live out here. My hopes were short lived though. The windows in the house were covered in dust. It looked like no one had lived here for ages. I brushed away the dust and peeked in. A figure stopped me cold. Someone was in there! I tapped the glass to see if they moved. Nothing, I ran around the house and found the front door wide open. I ran in and bent down next to the figure. She was in a costume almost like mine, but hers was green. A large "A" across the chest, and a green mask covering her face. Her long blonde hair in a high pony tale. I grabbed her shoulders and shook her gently.
"Are you ok? Come on wake up." She groaned and her eyes fluttered. She looked at me with a glazed expression.
"Who…who are you?" she asked. I sighed in relief. She was at least able to speak.
"I'm Mia, Mia Cassidy. It's ok I'm not going to hurt you or anything. What's your name?" she sat up slowly the glazed look slowly slipping away.
"Artemis. Where the hell am I?" she looked around the little house in now apparent shock.
"Actually," I said softly, "I was hoping you could tell me. I was also wondering why you're wearing a costume kind of like mine, and also why I'm in this costume." She looked me up and down, eyes now fully alert. She looked at herself as well.
"Ugh, my dad always tried to get me into this crap. You I'm not really sure. You kinda look like Anna Fortune, ever heard of her?" The name was slightly familiar, but I couldn't place it. I looked back at Artemis.
"You look like a girl version of the Green Arrow." She nodded a little sadly. An explosion suddenly erupted outside the little house. A female scream with it, we both instinctively jumped up. We had to see what it was. Outside a large tank was firing shells at a green girl. She wasn't in green, she was green. Her skin gave off a leafy green shade. She came flying past us and into the air.
"What the hell was that!" Artemis screamed. I ran toward the girl instead of away. She had landed a few feet away from us. Artemis on my tail we skidded to a stop. The girl was already up, and beginning to fly again, when she noticed the both of us.
"Artemis, Siren! You guys are ok!" she yelled. A shell came screaming across the sky, and Artemis fell forward. I grabbed her, and dragged her to her feet.
"That's not my name, it's Mia! How do you know Artemis?" The girl looked at the tank menacingly, and grabbed Artemis and I by the arm.
"Come this way." she shouted over another shell firing. We ran for about fifteen minutes maybe, but the heat made it feel like a lifetime. We took shelter under a clifftop, and the green girl hugged us both.
"Oh guys I've missed you so much, what happened?" we stared at her blankly, until she got the message.
"Hello Meghan! You guys don't remember me! Sorry, caught up in the moment. I can fix it though! You just have to let me into your minds." She reached her hand out to me, and I hesitated.
"Will you see everything in my mind?" I didn't want her seeing what my parents had done.
"Not everything, just what you don't remember! You may not realize it, but six months of your memory has been wiped away." Six months? That seemed impossible! I couldn't forget that much, could I? my hesitation now gone I reached for her hand, but Artemis still hesitated.
"Just three months? No more?" Meghan nodded eagerly, and Artemis took her hand. I closed my eyes and my head began to throb. It all came back. The school threat, my training, Wally. It all came back to me in the blink of an eye. Also with it came my rage at Artemis, and my curiosity at Wally's answer. I felt my heart swell and ache at his green eyes. I really did like him, but I had a feeling he didn't feel the same. I would always be the Siren. Serene, beautifully demonic, and alone.
"Great," Meghan smiled widely, "Now we only have to find the others. The whole process hadn't been too hard. Memories were restored, along with problems, and we were back on the ship. Meghan had gone all badass on the evil doctor, and saved the day with Superboy's help (they are so a couple) and we contacted Batman on a success. We arrived back at Mount Justice late that evening. Batman wasn't the only one waiting for us. My grandma stood at the hangar edge waiting for me. Great tones of explaining and so little time to explain it, and already another mission. This one a double, just Wally, and I. Dear God Bruce had a death wish.

Mount Justice Bridge 2:45 a.m./ The Flash
Barry looked Bruce in the eye as he asked the question.
"You're setting them up, aren't you?" Bruce sighed and pulled the mask off his face. He was only sending them, because they worked well together. He then stated it as such. Barry didn't say anymore, but he had a mischievous glint to them. For poor Mia, this was going to be a long mission.
Love it! I want you to LOVE IT! Haha try to update soon as possible, again super short, I'll try for a seven pager later. XD
