I have a confession... I was watching Batman while I wrote this. Not all of it, but a lot of it... I'm so sorry. Hehe... anyway, it's been a while... that's my bad, but it's not forever! I hope y'all enjoy and please leave me a good review! Feedback is huge. Please enjoy.

There was deep breathing behind me, and I was barely conscious. I wasn't sure where I was but I did know I felt heat of a body behind me... holding me. It was a tight grip, and when I opened my eyes I realized I was no longer at home. My eyes widened in fear, and my heart began to race.

"Wake up." I heard his voice behind me, and my stomach began to swirl with anxiety.

"Zimmy!" I heard another voice, and I looked up quickly. It was Laszlo! I felt my stomach drop when I realized what was happening to him. He was tied to the wall, and blind folded. I couldn't see those eyes, all that I could see was the fear on his face. The blood coming from his mouth and ears looks fresh, and when I realized there was blood coming from his blindfold as well, the panic inside me blew up.

"Laszlo!" I screamed.

"Shut up." I heard from behind me.

"Please! Let us go!" I cried out, as I felt his grip around my body tighten.

"Ahh!" I heard Laszlo scream out in pain. My eyes shot up to him again, hoping he was still with me.

"Laszlo! Don't give up! Please!" I begged him, fearing what would happen to me if I were left alone with the man behind me.

Then I heard something else, so I looked over. Shocked to see Spiderman standing there, watching. His mask was half way on, so I could only see his mouth. He wasn't making any expression, it was plain, and I didn't recognize him. I felt slight hope when I saw him there.

"Spiderman! Help us!" I yelled, hoping he'd hear me. But he did nothing... he just turned his head slightly seeming confused, and unsure. It was hard to tell because I couldn't see all of his face. I wasn't even sure he could see us!

"Spiderman!" I screamed again.

"Shut up, slut." I heard him from behind me again as I felt a hand snake into my shirt. Why wasn't he doing anything!?

Finally I saw his mouth move, but I couldn't hear anything. What was he saying? Why couldn't I hear him!? I watched him as close as I could as his mouth continued to move the same way over and over. Then I finally realized he was saying my name... He was mouthing my name!

"Spiderman!" I yelled again. "Please help!"

"I like when you scream. It's kind of sexy..." The voice behind me grinded out.

"Zimmy! Help!" Laszlo yelled out again. "Help me!" He begged... he wasn't begging the man behind me, he was begging me... why? I couldn't do anything! Why wasn't he begging Spiderman? He could save us all! I couldn't help us!

"Spiderman!?" I screamed, but nothing came out as I continued to watch Spiderman mouth my name. As the hand in my shirt began to squeeze my breast, I yelled out in pain. It hurt, and he was beginning to suffocate me. I couldn't breathe, so all I could do was watch Spiderman's mouth. Now I realized he wasn't mouthing my name anymore… I couldn't read his lips… what was he saying now?

I watched hard, trying to ignore the fear and pain from the man behind me… he wouldn't stop, and it was impossible to ignore…

"Ahh!" I heard Laszlo again, but I tried my best to keep my eyes on Spiderman. What was he saying!?

Then it hit me. He was saying. 'Who are you?' His head turned to the side, as he continued to mouth the words 'Who are you?'… Over and over… he didn't recognize me… He had forgotten me. He wasn't going to help me, he had forgotten… and the man behind me, I'd never forget him… Now I could never help Laszlo. I cried out in fear and disbelief, I couldn't do this all alone!

When I sat up in my bed, I heard my cat screech in panic. She jumped off the bed, and when I realized that I was screaming too, I finally stopped myself and held my throat. My body was sweaty, and my muscles ached with tension… I was breathing hard, my room was dark, but it only took me a second to realize I was home… that was a nightmare… I was okay.

"Oh my god." I sighed out, and watched my cat perch herself on the window seal across the room. She glared at me in annoyance as she lifted her paw to clean, now used to my random screams during the night; she'd only need a minute before coming back.

"Pokey. I'm sorry honey…" I whispered and pat my bed. "Come here." I sniffled loudly as my own shaky voice made me angry. When was I going to get over this? This is why I didn't sleep… was I ever going to be able to sleep normal again? I swallowed then stared for a moment... worried about my future… I don't think I'd ever be the same.

My thoughts were interrupted as Pokey jumped up on the bed next to me. I jerked out of my thoughts as she climbed into my lap. I smiled and began to pet her. She always knew how to calm me down… "I'm sorry Pokey. I'll stop someday…" I whispered and she began to purr. She was a good cat.

I glanced at the clock, and it was only five in the morning… I went to sleep at twelve, so I got maybe four or five hours of sleep… that was actually better than usual, so I was satisfied. At least I could go to work… if this happened on the weekend, I just had to be alone… during the week I could at least go to the office early, and not be entirely alone. Then I remember that today was Monday, which meant the new interns were coming in! I smiled to myself, excited to finally get to help people who were like me! It would be a fun and new experience… I actually couldn't wait! I'm not the new kid on the block anymore, and this was definitely something that could distract me.

"This is going to be a good day, Pokey." I said as I continued to pet her.

Once I finally arrived to work, very early I might add, I got to my office and was pleased that it was so quiet. It was around six thirty, so I was probably one of the first ones here. I knew Jim was here, cause he always get here before everyone. I was excited to see him, but the most excited to start helping the new interns.

I walked to Jim's office and smiled as I saw him sitting at his desk. I peaked my head in and when I realized he was on the phone I waited before speaking.

"Okay. I understand." He said quietly. I don't think he had noticed me yet. His face was serious, and when his hand went up to his mouth, I noticed that he looked stressed. He bit his fingernail as he listened carefully; he nodded a couple times as his brow furrowed. "So what does that mean for her?"

I frowned. Maybe I shouldn't be listening to this… he never made a face like that… he always looked happy and relaxed. Never stressed or upset… so I felt as though I was intruding in on something. I sank back and leaned against the wall next to his office door. Thankfully he hadn't seen me, but as I sat here and waited I continued to eavesdrop on his conversation.

"Is she in pain…?" He asked so hesitantly. "Okay." His voice shook a little, and so did my heart as I reached up and held my chest. Was he okay? I heard him sniff, and my eyes filled with tears. I wasn't used to him being anything except supportive and strong… so even hearing his voice tremble like that, made my heart ache.

"Yeah. Go ahead." He breathed out loudly and then sniffed again, obviously trying not to cry. There was a silence, and I wondered if he had hung up… I held my breath as I stared at the empty office building… was I so selfish that I hadn't realized he was going through something? Was he having a hard time? He just always acted like everything was okay…

"Hi Mom…" His voice was weak, but he was attempting to sound positive.

I closed my eyes, now realizing this wasn't for me. I forced myself to walk off, back to my office. I felt as though I just intruded on something very personal… even though he had invited me into his life, he'd never mentioned his family. So it wasn't my place to eavesdrop. Why was I so rude?

"Jeez…" I sighed out, and forced myself to sit at my desk and start working. I'd let him come talk to me, I didn't want to intrude more than I already had. But maybe this time I'll actually talk about his dinner invitation.

After some time passed, I finally forced my thoughts onto my work. I got lots done, and by the time it was seven thirty I started hearing more people arrive to work.

"Beep-beep!" I head Lex's obnoxious voice at my office door.

I sighed out as I turned to face him, forcing a polite smile. "Hey."

"New interns today, huh?" He smiled, and I could tell it was completely faked. He was jealous… and that made me grin.

"Yeah." I said confidently, feeling proud that I was picked, and not him. "It'll be fun." I tried to act like I didn't care as much as I really did.

He raised his eyebrows, and nodded. "Yeah. You lucky duck." He laughed as he looked down, obviously trying to restrain his jealously. The worst part about all of this was I actually felt sort of bad for him… I knew he was an obnoxious ass hole, who thought he should get everything in life… but at the same time, when you entitle yourself to so much, obviously you're going to be disappointed and ashamed when you don't get what you thought was so rightfully yours. He was probably pretty pissed at either himself, or me… or Jim. Or all three. Who knew. And even though I'd never give up my position, I could still feel bad for him for being so upset about his predicament.

"Well, good luck, Zim." He smiled, and left without looking me in the eyes.

Man, everyone was off today… maybe it wasn't going to be a good day after all… it was Monday, and Mondays always sucked.

I just sighed as I turned back to my computer. Regardless if it was going to be a good day or not, I was working towards becoming a better person, and so far so good. I was getting more and more back to myself everyday… and today was going to be a day that marked a new beginning in my life. Being in charge of all the new interns was big… and I was proud of myself.

"Hey!" I heard Jim knock on my door.

I felt my heart sink, but forced the biggest smile for him as I turned around. "Hey."

"You excited for today?" He grinned.

I stared, looking for some sort of sign from him. Was he okay? I couldn't tell that there was anything different about him… he must be really good at hiding his feelings.

"Yeah." I smiled. "When are they getting here?"

"Around eight thirty, so I'm gonna get the conference room set up for ya."

"Okay." I smiled. "I'm kind of nervous."

He laughed. "Oh, you'll do great, Zim. Don't even worry!" He waved his hand.

"You think?" I felt my confidence grow along with my smile.

"Heck yes! You're one of my friendliest workers, plus you're skilled at what you do, and you know what you're talking about. I picked the best." He grinned. "And you're cute and young." He winked. "They'll be able to relate to you, and not feel completely lost."

I laughed. "Thanks, Jim. That means a lot." Then I looked down, letting my shyness takeover like normal.

"It's all true."

I pressed my lips together as the silence made me slightly uncomfortable… I looked up to him and smiled, feeling even more awkward when I caught him staring at me. I opened my mouth, ready to bring up dinner. But he spoke before I could.

"Oh." He jerked up straighter. "I gotta get your roster for you." He hit himself gently on the head. "Be right back." He pointed as he quickly walked off.

I sighed out quietly… did he really mean all of those things he said? Or was he just saying them because he liked me? I knew I was good at what I did, and that I was going to do great, but I wanted him to really believe it. I think he did, but lately I doubted all praise I got from people… probably just because I wasn't myself since the bank. That small doubt was irritating, and I couldn't wait until it went away.

"Alright. Here ya go. You've got about fifteen, so hopefully they aren't a bunch of ass holes." He chuckled as he handed me the roster.

I took it and nodded. "Okay. Cool… I hope they're nice." I swallowed.

"You'll do great." He smiled confidently. "Oh, and I'm having Lex help you set up. I don't want him to pout himself to death." He rolled his eyes like he didn't have a choice.

I totally understood, I'm sure he was irritated by Lex's attitude. "I get it, I wouldn't want him to do that either." I joked.

"Well, you know where I'll be if ya need me." He pat the frame of my doorway, and then was gone. He didn't look in my eyes as much as he normally did... that's really the only sign I could see that showed he was distracted. Maybe I'll ask him about dinner later...

Regardless, I was excited. These people were going to be looking to me, and even though they were mostly my age, or younger… I was going to be their teacher, their caretaker while they were here for these six months… and it was going to be great! I took in a deep breath as I stood; I walked to the conference room and saw Lex in there already setting up the cookies and coffee. I watched him for a moment, annoyed that he was even here, but glad that I wouldn't be completely alone with all these interns.

"Thank you, Lex." I smiled.

"Yup." He smiled to me, quickly, of course. Still not able to face me.

I rolled my eyes as I walked to the front of the room, and saw all the papers and documents we were going to be covering. There was a small table and chair with all the stacks of paper separated nicely, and I knew Lex had done that as well. At least he was a perfectionist like me, so it wasn't half bad that he was helping me. I sat down at my chair and sipped my coffee as I read all the named of the roster. I wondered what each person looked like, what they were like, and if they were going to be cool.

"You got a lot?" He looked over, unable to control his curiosity.

I nodded. "Fifteen!"

"Dang. That's almost as big as our group was." He smiled, obviously reminiscing.

"Yeah. It's cause this place is the coolest."

"True."

The rare moments he was like this were nice… it's why I still talked to him, because behind all his cockyness and ass-holey attitude, he was still a normal fun guy to be around… he just couldn't have too much stuff handed to him, or he got stupid. Which was too bad, we'd probably get along pretty well outside of work.

"You excited?" He smirked as he rested his back against the wall.

I blinked in surprise. Maybe he was trying to get over himself?

"Yeah. I am."

"Me too…" He looked away. "You'll do a good job, even if you're a little slow." He winked to me.

I felt slightly offended, but the fact he complimented me just made my brain confused, so I didn't respond. I just stared at him like an idiot.

He smirked again, as he looked down at his watch. "I'll be back before they get here." Then he walked out quickly.

So, I waited. And by the time it was eight or eight fifteen my first intern arrived! She was a larger girl, black, and had the most amazing afro. She looked extremely shy as she poked her head into our tiny room. I perked up and smiled to her.

"Hello!" I stood, way too excited to greet my first.

She barely smiled as she looked around the room. "This where the interns go?"

"Yup! Come on in! You're the first one here." I walked closer to her, as she finally entered the room. "There are some cookies and coffee here if you'd like some, and you can sit where ever you'd like."

She finally smiled fully, and nodded. "Okay, thank you."

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Zimmy." I put my hand out.

"Oh, right." She laughed as she shook my hand. "I'm Amy, nice to meet you Zimmy."

I grinned, and handed her a stack of papers. "Here is what we will be covering this week. It's kind of a lot, but I bet you guys will be fine." I laughed as I walked back over to my little table.

She nodded with a sarcastic smile. "Sure."

"You excited?" I asked.

"Are you?" She asked back.

I laughed again, now feeling a little silly. "Yeah, honestly I'm pretty nervous as well."

"I couldn't tell." She gave me a look. I think she wasn't sure how to treat me yet, but I was glad she seemed comfortable enough to say her opinion.

"Sorry. This is my first big job with interns. I was an intern here too, not too long ago and I guess I just want you guy's experience to be amazing like mine was." I beamed.

She stared at me for a moment, then barely smiled again as she chuckled. "Well, that's a relief. I think this will be fun."

"Me too." I felt good… this was going to be great.

It was eight thirty now, and the entire room was almost full. I had greeted as many people as I was able to, but once they all started to show up together it was difficult to get my words out. I was just pleased to see that most of these people looked to be normal and seemed ready to learn. Lex had just come back into the room with his coffee, and mine... which I thought to be a little weird, but I just decided he must be sucking up to me for a particular reason. I'd find out what it was eventually.

"You're missing a few." He leaned over my shoulder, as I rearranged the cookies on the coffee table.

"I know, I'll give them a few more minutes." These interns sure were messy.

"It's already eight thirty-five."

I rolled my eyes and tried not to get irritated. "Yeah, I know Lex. I'm sure they're just running a little late."

"You know... you're super pretty when you act authoritative."

And that was the side of him that I couldn't stand... I thought I already gave him enough signals that I wasn't interested? Yet he still thinks there is a chance he can get into my pants?

I sighed out feeling slight anger now, and to my surprise my heart began to race. I felt light headed, and when he leaned closer to my ear my anxiety rose to its peak.

"It's kind of sexy." He whispered.

I felt sick to my stomach as I stepped away from him as quickly as possible. "What did you say?" I felt myself sway, then I looked up to him and we made eye-contact. He looked slightly surprised, and the furry building up inside me was strange... I was definitely ready to give him a piece of my mind. I had enough of him acting like he owned all the women here.

"Excuse me, is this were the interns go?"

I kept eye-contact with Lex for a moment, the panic inside my stomach was about to overflow, and I felt myself becoming overheated... but thankfully I held it down. I was kind of getting the hang of handling these little episodes I kept having.

I sighed out shakily as I finally turned around to greet the late intern; forcing a smile on my expression. "Yes! You're in the right place."

He was standing in the doorway... and was gaping at me like some kind of idiot. Did he hear me? But then... I looked through those thick rimmed glasses, and met a pair of eyes that I had seen before. They were so soft and kind...

My eyes widened along with his, and as I felt my body begin to give out on me, and all that I could manage was a scream. The pressure inside me was already about to burst, but seeing the eyes of Spiderman, just made it pop. I'm hallucinating now?

"Zimmy!?" Lex leaned in close, sounding panicked and confused. I held my mouth as my eyes filled with tears, and my body fell. My knees took the impact, and as the familiar pain flew through my body I couldn't force myself to stay awake. Everything went black as I stared at him... just standing there.
