"Guys, come on, answer me," Emerald thought as she flew over the desert. It had been this quiet in her mind for hours. She sighed. "Alright, guys, very funny. I learned my lesson, never fly out of telepathic range again. Knock it off and say something." She hovered over the sand when there was still no answer. "Great, I hope they didn't leave without me."

She began to fly forward again her eyes searching the sand for any sign of her friends. Where could they be? None of them would have left her behind without saying anything. So why weren't they answering? Could something have happened to Miss Martian and all of the communication was out because of it? Ugh, why couldn't everyone have lantern rings like her and Hal? Then this would never happen. Or at least she'd be able to get a sense of what was happening.

The sun was coming over the horizon when the explosions began going off, leaving clouds of dust and smoke in the air. So much for the stealth portion of the mission. She glared up at the sky as if it was the source of her problems. What did those idiots think they were doing? First they cut off communication with her, then they starting blowing stuff up? Batman wasn't going to be happy with them, that is if they survived when she got her hands on them.

By the time she reached the area, it was nightfall and she was mostly following the sound of gunfire, hoping that her team would be the cause. Seriously, what kind of friends just stop talking to you without any explanation? She narrowed her eyes when she spotted four of them, and a Biaylan soldier sneaking up behind them with a gun. Just as he prepared to fire at Robin, she swooped down, a green hand grabbing the gun and breaking it before throwing him over the heads of her team and into a sand dune.

They looked up at her as she glared at them, "You four better have a good reason for cutting off communications and getting rid of our cover. This was a stealth mission! Now, start talking before I pummel you all to Oa!" Her suit turned a little red during the last sentence as her anger boiled over.

Robin was the first to speak, "Stealth mission? What are you talking about, Emerald?"

"Wait, you remember," Miss Martian asked in surprise, looking at her.

"Duh, I remember, what are all of you talking about," Emerald asked looking at them. "Where are Superboy and Aqualad, by the way?"

"Wait, who and who," Artemis asked, now Emerald was just confused. "Why are you mad at us?"

Robin looked at her, "Emerald, what's today?"

She rolled her eyes, "September 4th, why?"

"So you remember the past six months," he asked again.

"Yeah," she crossed her arms over her chest before it clicked. "Wait, are you guys saying that you don't remember the past six months?" They all nodded. "Not sure if that's a blessing or a curse."

"Why are we in Bialya," Robin asked.

"Batman's orders," Emerald replied. "There was a series of strange energy signatures coming from this desert. Batman sent us in to investigate. Radio silence was mandatory so Miss Martian's telepathy was used to help us remain in contact if we moved out of hearing distance or if an enemy was close by."

Robin smirked a little, "So we work for Batman?"

"How do you know we don't work for my mentor," KF asked while poking his chest, causing his suit to become its usual yellow color. He touched it again, "Whoa. This is so cool!"

Emerald rubbed her temples, "Wally, please stop activating and deactivating your stealth tech."

"Is he the only one with the stealth tech," Artemis asked as Robin seemed about ready to poke his own chest to see if his costume changed. Emerald nodded. "Alright, we need our memories back before we can help out Super-whatever."

"Superboy," Emerald replied, "and I don't know where Aqualad is and that's very troublesome."

Wally looked at her, "Kaldur's here too?"

"He's the leader of our team," Emerald replied. "Has been since Santa Prisca." She turned to Miss Martian. "You're the telepath, can you help get their memories back?"

Miss Martian nodded and placed her hands up to her temples, eyes glowing. Emerald looked around as the scenery changed. Miss Martian spoke, "I brought you into my mind to share what I've remembered so far. But I need everyone's help. Together, our broken memories can form a whole, if you open your minds to mine. And Emerald's memories will certainly help with bridging any gaps."

"You want to paw through our private thoughts," Artemis asked.

"I have no wish to intrude, but-" Megan began.

"You need to hack our minds to grok what happened to us," Robin interrupted. "Got it. Go."

Emerald looked at him, "Grok?" He shrugged. Before Wally could speak she smacked him upside the head, "Don't make a fool of yourself. You already did that when we went to the Tower of Fate."

Everyone looked at Artemis, "Last six months only, and only what you need."

Now everyone looked at Emerald, "What? You should all know that I'm willing to do anything to help out the team. What are friends for?"

Miss Martian nodded and four hands reached out to touch theirs. Emerald was already prepared; she had closed off certain sections of her memories to guide the team a bit more in what they needed. She witnessed once more the mission briefing Batman had given them and the moments before everyone had stopped talking. Robin had picked up a brief anomaly on the outskirts of the desert and she went to go check it out. Unfortunately, with Miss Martian going into camouflage mode and approaching the tent where the object was located, she had moved out of range.

"What happened next," Robin asked when they all snapped out of it.

"I-I don't know, that's the last thing I-we remember," Miss Martian replied.

Emerald sighed, "We landed 24 hours ago and if Aqualad's been wandering the desert, it's very possible that he's unconscious somewhere."

Robin pulled up his gauntlet, "Now that I know to look for him…He's close, but he's not moving."

"Let's not waste any time," Emerald stated automatically creating a platform under everyone's feet and flying in that direction. He was lying down on the sand between some rocks. When Emerald held him gently, he began to speak in Atlantian. "Oh, Aqualad, I'm sorry you weren't found sooner."

"I can't restore his memories in this condition," Miss Martian stated.

"He needs immediate rehydration," Robin stated. "Call the bioship."

She looked at them, "It's out of range, but you can get him there fast."

Wally looked at her, "He's too heavy and I'm too low on fuel. Right now, I couldn't even carry her."

Emerald looked at her cousin as he pointed at Artemis, "It looks like you're barely standing as is. My ring's too low on juice at the moment, thanks to all the flying around I had to do." She looked down. "Miss Martian, we'll get Aqualad to the bioship. You go find Superboy. If you guys truly did forget the past six months, then all he has is animal impulse. You're the only one who can help him."

"But Superboy's indestructible, just ask the tanks he blew up," Wally stated pointing behind him. "Aqualad needs Megan's help now."

She stood, "Just because he's indestructible doesn't mean that he can't be hurt. Judging by the fact that there hasn't been any more clouds of smoke or dust, that means he's probably been captured."

Before anyone could argue, Miss Martian began to fly away and Robin looked at Emerald, "We don't know what erased our memories."

"You just need to have faith, Robin," she replied, grabbing one of Aqualad's arms and pulling it over her shoulder as her ring flashed, letting her know it was getting low. "Come on, I know where the bioship is. We can get Wally some more food and I can power up my ring, we can help Aqualad, and then we can help Miss Martian and Superboy."

Everyone nodded and they began to move out.

Emerald felt like passing out as she moved along with Aqualad, she had used a small bit of her ring's power to create a small thing so she was rolling Aqualad along to make it easier on herself. All she wanted to do was curl up and sleep. She stumbled along as Robin directed her behind a rock with the others as some soldiers passed by.

"We can't risk a firefight with Aqualad KO'd like this," Robin stated as he looked over at their friend.

"He's not the only one," Kid Flash stated. "I'm way out of juice, Artemis is almost out of arrow's, and Emerald looks like she's about to pass out."

"I'm fine," she waved it off.

He shook his head, "No you're not. You didn't sleep at all while we lost our memories did you?" She didn't reply. "Thought so." He turned as Robin disappeared. "Ugh. I forgot how much I hate it when he does the ninja thing." Emerald sighed as she tuned out the rest of their conversation. Her head perked up as she spotted Robin coming back and breaking up the little spat. "Dude, where were you?"

"Breaking radio silence," Robin smirked. Laughter echoed out and after a little bit, there was an explosion and a cloud of smoke went up. "That's our cue. Move!"

Emerald sleepily stumbled to her feet, dragging Aqualad with. When would this night be over?

Emerald sat sleepily in one of the chairs inside the bioship. When they had gotten to the bioship, her ring was completely drained, Robin and Wally were pulling Aqualad along, and Artemis was helping her walk. She jumped slightly when Miss Martian spoke, "Hey, everybody. I've got Superboy. He's back to normal and we're on our way."

"You should take offense, Superboy," Emerald mentally yawned. "Normal is an insult."

Superboy chuckled, "Glad to see you're still the same."

Aqualad gasped and sat up, "Who are you and how did you get inside my head?"

Emerald chuckled and fell asleep in the chair with a smile on her face. The team was all back together.
