This Wild Life

A groan passed his lips as Robin rolled over onto his stomach. He used his forearms in attempt to prop himself up. He took a deep breath but began to cough violently when bits of sand and dirt particles entered his lungs. The coughs ripped through his body, causing his already aching muscles to contract. With slight struggle, Robin was able to get to his feet. His gloved hand grasped the large rock beside him, trying to stable his legs. His masked eyes glanced up to look at the sky, maybe it could help tell him a few things about his where abouts. The sky was a pale blue, indicating that it was still day time. The rock shot into the sky, tall enough to cast a large shadow over the boy wonder. He put one of his hands to his head feeling the disorientation of his thoughts. God did he head hurt like a bitch. One foot in front of the other, Robin walked slowly around the rock. One of his hands still held onto the rock for support. He came to the edge of the rock and all he could see was sand. Miles and miles of sand. Where the hell was he? Suddenly his attention snapped to the side. The sound of a car engine caused the boy wonder to hide behind the rock. He skillfully peered around the side to see what was heading his way. The small dot on the horizon rapidly enlarged as it got closer. A Humvee containing multiple malacia drove past the black haired boys hiding spot. He furrowed his brow in confusion.

"Those are Bialyan Republican Army uniforms." He said to himself. As if second nature, Robin raised his arm and pulled up his hologram display screen. A map appeared with a bunch of red dots, the blink dot indicating where he was.

"What are bialyans doing in…." He paused taking another glance to confirm his assumption.

"Uh, Bialya? Ok." All of this was making his brain hurt. He glanced up to look at the vast landscape as if he was still trying to comprehend the information he had received.

"Better question, what the hell am I doing in Bialya?" He asked to know one in particular. What was going on? He glanced back down at the holograph, eyes widening in shock.

"In September? What happened to March?!" It took a few minutes before his shock wore off. He had to start thinking rationally. He thought through the possible options he had. It was obvious that he was alone, and wandering out in the Bialyian desert did not bode well. His right hand moved on it's own accord, moving its fingers up to activate the radio in his ear.

"Better radio Batman." He was about to do just that when something triggered a memory.

Maintain radio silence at all times

"Or not." He sighed dropping his hand in defeat. Robin groaned, running his gloved fingers through his already messy hair in frustration. He sighed, his back sliding against the rock wall as he sat down. He rested his elbows on his propped up legs, letting his hands dangle in the space between his knees. What was he supposed to do, just sit there? With another sigh, he brought his hologram up once once more to look at the map. His eyes glanced over the map, searching for any sign of something he may have marked before he had passed out. The only conclusion he came to was the seven dots that were scattered around the picture. The blinking one indicated his spot, but what did the others mean? He peered at each dot. Three of the dots were scattered and two other dots were right next to each other. They all seem far away from his position except one dot. Out of curiosity, he clicked on the single dot. It expanded, showing the closer shot of the landscape. He used his finger to drag the screen, moving it to see how close the dot was to his dot. His brow furrowed, before he looked back up at the area around him then glancing back down at the map. Apparently it was only a half mile away from him. He shifted his gaze back up to look ahead. In the distance, a pile of rocks stacked into the sky. Now why would he mark that? He exited the hologram and pushed his body to stand. Robin took a few steps and peered down over the edge to see how far the ground was. Deciding that it wasn't very far, Robin took two more steps before flipping off the rock. He landed in a crouched position, then stood to his full height. This was the only lead he had and as he ran he hoped that this wasn't some kind of fluke.

He took careful steps as he walked around the rock. His eyes were trained on the screen, conscious of his steps because he didn't want to trip or step on anything. With each step his blinking dot came closer to the other dot. His feet sunk into the sand with every movement of his body. He came to a stop when the blinking dot met the non blinking dot. His masked eyes looked up and he dropped his arms. Laying on the ground a foot away from him was a girl. Her body lay crumbled into the sand, back to the boy wonder. The sun peered down on her skin, sending a glare of light at the boy wonder. Her blonde hair was sprawled out around her head as if it was halo. His legs moved on his own accord, falling to his knees next to the unconscious female. What was she doing here in the middle of nowhere? His hand moved to grasp her arm gently and rolled her onto her back. His eyes roamed over her body for any injuries. The girl laid perfectly still showing no signs of life. Robin looked back up at her face, eyes subconsciously tracing her face. Something about this girl was familiar to him, as if she was someone important but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. As he peered at her face, his eyes stopped on something red that seemed misplaced in the girls blonde hair, standing out. His moved his fingers to gently brush the bangs from her face. He felt something warm and retracted his hand to find a sticky red liquid on his fingers. An animal impulse coursed through his veins and he felt oddly protective of the short girl. She was bleeding and it seemed like from a blow to the head. He carefully turned her head to see a gash by her temple.

Robin could deal with that in a minute, he had to make sure that she was still alive. He leaned down and placed his ear to her chest. It was hard to hear due to her thick layer of clothing but he could faintly hear the steady beat of her heart. He leaned back up and moved his hands to grasp her face, to keep her head from lolling to the side. He hadn't been paying attention to the slight movement that her body had made after he had removed his head from her chest. Soon his masked eyes searched her face once more to see if there were any other signs of life. A soft groan left the girl's lips and her face scrunched up in discomfort before she cracked open her lids slowly. Robin looked at her in shock, not expecting to see her lavender orbs looking back at him. She sleepily gazed at him before her brain kicked into survival mode. She gasped and scrambled away from the boy, stopping when her back hit the wall. Robin soon recovered from his initial shock and placed his hands up to show he was no harm. He watched her form convulse in fear.

"Hey i'm not going to hurt you." He poke softly. He was now in a crouch and he moved slowly towards her. Seeing his movement caused the girl to try and scurry away from him, not going anywhere due to her already being against the wall.

"Stay back!" She urgently called, lifting her hand to keep him away from her. He did not cease in his movements, just slowed his pace. She shook her head, not wanting him to come any closer. In sheer panic she raise her other hand and clamped her eyes shut.

"I SAID STAY BACK

Robin almost didn't duck fast enough, his head nearly getting taken off by a swirling vortex. His eyes widened in astonishment, turning his head to watch the vortex disappear into the distance. He then whipped his head back to glance back at the girl. He watched her slowly open her eyes then widen them when she realized that she had not hit him with her powers. In pure panic she continued to shoot purple energy towards the boy wonder. Robin stumbled to his feet, dodging to the left to avoid one. This continued like a game or training session. The girl would shoot energy from her body and he would move to avoid getting hit. Robin was getting tired of this, it seemed as if the girl had no malicious intent. She was just scared and acting in self defense, but that didn't mean he wasn't frustrated with the situation. As if his prayers were answered, the blonde stopped with her assault. He stopped jumping, hands placed on his knees and his form hunched over to help him catch his breath. He looked up to meet her gaze. Something inside of him broke as he looked at her. He had come to the conclusion that he knew her. He didn't know how, where or when but he knew her. It was also evident that she knew him as well. Robin could see the regret in her eyes. She had managed to stand and he was taken back when she began to shed tears. The girl leaned her back against the rock, her hand coming up to attempt to wipe the tears away.

"Please… whoever you are you have to go." She spoke, her words but a mere whisper. Her eyes found his, pleading with him to run.

"Why would I do that?" He found himself asking her. She dropped her gaze to the side, moving her hands from her face to wrap around her body. She appeared to be falling apart at the seams. Robin found himself walking towards her, wanting nothing more but to comfort the girl. He came to a stop in front of her. He moved his glove clad fingers to grasp her chin lightly, turning her attention back to him.

"Why do you want me to run?" He asked, making sure that his tone was soft. The girl found herself tracing his features, analyzing him. There was something about him that made her feel safe, protected and cared for. If only she could remember who he was to her. She felt compelled to answer him.

"I don't want them to make me kill you like the others." She felt like a monster. Robin could only look at her, pity in gaze. She moved her gaze once more, not feeling worthy of eye contact, or in a sense mask contact. The blonde had expected him to recoil from her in disgust but instead let out a quiet squeak when she found her body squished against Robin's chest. Robin had tangled his fingers into her hair before pulling her to him. His other hand wrapped around her waist, trapping her against him. He didn't know what compelled him to hug the girl but he knew she need it, need someone to be there for her. The blonde's eyes had widened, not expecting this to happen, but she soon relaxed her stiff muscles. She found herself burying her face into his neck, enjoying the comfort the stranger was giving her. Robin buried nose into her hair, mind running a mile a minute. Nothing about this girl made sense. Who put her here? Why was she here? Who was forcing her to hurt people with her power? And the biggest question of all, who was she?

"I'm going to help you." Robin found himself saying. She didn't speak, only nodding her head before cuddling deeper into the embrace. After a minute or two, they broke the embrace but not putting much distance between them.

"My names Robin, and if I'm going to help the damsel in distress I'm going to need to know what her name is." Robin spoke, a teasing smirk plastered on his lips. The blonde let out a small laugh, shaking her head. Of course she seemed like a damsel in distress. Her hair was a mess and tear stains were running down the plains of her face.

"You know if you don't answer me i'm just going to come up with a nickname for you." Robin spoke, crossing his arms and placing one hand at his chin in a thinking pose. The girl looked at him with a puzzled face.

"And that name would be?" She inquired, raising an eyebrow. She watched as he analysed her.

"I'm gonna go with….. Blondie." He words were meet with an unladylike like snort and a gentle shove. He gave a small laugh as he looked at her small smile.

"What? No good?" He asked. The girl rolled her eyes, continuing to smile at his antics.

"What do you suggest then?" He pressed, raising an eyebrow.

"My name is McKenna." She replied. Robin's smirk dropped to a genuine smile. The black haired boy stuck out his hand, which in return McKenna placed her small hand in his.

"McKenna"

"Robin"

"Can you please tell me what we are doing?" Kenna asked, momentarily stopping to glare at the setting sun before glancing at her companion. Robin had stopped and pulled up his hologram map. He glanced up to meet her gaze, then jerked his head, indicating for her to come stand by him. Her feet sunk into the sand as she made her way to Robin. She stopped right next to the boy wonder, looking over his shoulder at the map.

"Well I found you by following the dots. So seeing as there are other dots maybe we can something." He said, pointing at the two dots clumped together. Kenna raised her eyebrow, raising her hand to point at the rapidly moving dot.

"Is that dot supposed to be moving that fast." She questioned, eyes following the rapidly moving dot. It seemed to be moving towards the cluster dots that the two teenagers had been moving towards.

Get down! Don't worry, I'm almost there!

Kenna jumped away from Robin, frantically looking around for the person who said that. She snapped her gaze to Robin to see if that voice was just in her head. She received her answer by the bewildered look Robin was looking at her.

"DID YOU HEAR THAT VOICE IN YOUR HEAD?" They shouted simultaneously at each other, pointing at each other. What was going on? Kenna dropped her hand and looked at the ground, mind sifting through her thoughts.

"Hey!" She called, trying to catch her companion's attention. Robin looked at her, a puzzled expression evident on his face.

"Do you think that maybe we were on some kind of team?" Robin sighed, furring his eyebrows. The concept did not seem that strange.

"I mean, we don't remember what has happened in the past six months. We may be on some team or something. It's obvious that we know each other pretty well. I may not remember who you are but I have this feeling like you are someone important to me!" She reasoned, moving her hands in gestures as she spoke. Robin said no words, not totally agreeing or disagreeing with her theory. It would explain why he felt so close to her. When Kenna got no response from the black haired boy, she took quick steps towards him.

"Bring up the map." She told him, coming to a halt next to him. Robin did as he was told, his fingers activating the hologram. The map popped up, dots still in the same place. Robin watched as her small fingers pointed towards the cluster of dots that now had three dots instead of two.

"You said that you found me by going to the closest dot. So maybe each individual dot is a team mate." She reasoned, looking at him for any kind of reaction.

"Come on dude, you have to give me something! This whole poker face you have going on doesn't help." Kenna complained, lightly slapping Robin's shoulder. Robin recoiled and glanced at the blonde.

"What do you want from me Blondie?" He complained in return. His words received another slap.

"What I want is for you to actually tell me if my theory makes sense or if i'm being retarded!" She cried, flailing her arms. Robin looked at the girl in amusement. She was entertaining when severely frustrated

"We still have to find the dots but your theory doesn't suck that much." He recoiled from another slap. He whipped his head around to glare at the blonde.

"Woman will you stop hitting me!" He demanded. Kenna just rolled her eyes, taking a hold of one of the boy wonder's hands. She gently tugged him in the direction they had originally been walking.

"Let's go. I am over the copious amount of sand." Her legs began moving, slightly sinking into the sand. Robin followed the girl without any complaint.

"You know we are in desert. There is bound to be a lot of sand." Robin smirked, sarcasm evident in his tone. He had caught up to walk next to the girl, no longer being dragged. He gave a small chuckle when he heard her mock his words. She turned her head to look at him with a pointed look.

"Deserts don't always have to have sand, genius! The largest desert on earth is Antarctica and it doesn't have an ounce of sand." She replied, sarcasm in her own tone. Robin just snickered at the girl, definitely enjoying the banter between them. The two continued walking towards their destination, totally unaware that their fingers were still interlaced.

Kenna could hear her heart beat echo in her ear. Her lungs burned as if she had been running for days and her legs hurt like hell, but she continued to pump them. She had to keep telling herself to keep up with Robin. The sun had set hours ago and the companions were finally coming up on their destination. They came over a large hill to see a giant box in the middle of a small valley of sand. Kenna let out a yelp when she was pulled behind a small dune of sand. Robin had slide to hide behind it and pulled the blonde down with him. He peered over the top, furring his brow in thought. He ducked his head down once more, turning to the blonde.

"I'm going to go check it out, stay here." He spoke softly, quickly turning his attention to stand. Kenna gave a slight jump, latching onto the sleeve of his uniform before he could leave her.

"Are you crazy? Don't go down there by yourself!" She pleaded with him, her eyes wide with alarm. Robin grabbed her hand and unlatched it from his sleeve. He looked at her big lavender eyes. What a peculiar color.

"McKenna, I will be fine. I'm not going to be alone because you will be scoping out the area. Everything will be fine, okay Blondie?" He reasoned. Kenna sucked her bottom lip in, sinking her teeth into the pink flesh. She could only nod her head in understanding. His fingers slipped from her grasp and he vaulted over the dune and landed into the sand pit. Kenna placed her hands on top of her hiding place, worriedly peering over the top. Robin walked closer to the contraption, his body low to the ground in a crouch. Kenna continued to gnaw on her lip, alarm bells ringing in her head. This situation had her on edge and something was going to go wrong. As if fate had heard her, the second Robin was in the vicinity of the box, a large group of malicia popped out of the sand like daisy's. Kenna's muscles tensed as the men moved closer in to Robin's position. What was she to do? She had to do something! Her brain was running a million miles an hour, trying to come up with the best way to approach the situation. Her eyes followed the boy wonders movements, watching as he stuck out an arm and dropped a smoke pellet. Oh great now she couldn't even see a way to help! Good going boy wonder! Shaking her head, Kenna moved to jump over the dune to go help her companion but she stopped when a blur came over the opposite hill and disappear in the pile of smoke. She rapidly moved her eyes to try and catch a glimpse of Robin in the settling smoke. Her heart caught in her throat when the sound of gun shots echoed through the air. Her fist clenched as the smoke finally dissipated. She could now see the battle area.

A large amount of soldiers still stood. Robin was in the midst of fighting two guys at once. Around him where other unconscious bodies that he had knocked out in the smoke. The blur had taken on a long line of guys with guns that had been standing behind Robin. In a second all their guns were a pile and the guys were laying on their backs out cold. Kenna blinked rapidly, trying to comprehend what just occurred. She switched gaze to Robin as he pivoted around in a fighting stance. Two men with guns approached with guns. The black haired boy was about to attack when the men were sent flying back. What? Kenna's eyes moved quickly searching for the reason for what just occurred. In the air, a green girl appeared out of nowhere, floating in the air as if she was was camouflaged. Her eyes followed the last guy, he was running away from the scene in fear. A green arrow crossed into her vision, speeding towards the runaway soldier. The tip of the arrow separated and in a split second the man was tangled in a rope. He collapsed to the ground. Kenna turned her head to glance at where the arrow had come from. A blonde girl stood on top of another hill, a bow in her grasp. She lowered it before making her way down to stand by the others. Robin walked up to the person that Kenna assumed was the blur. They grabbed each others hand in some kind of bro shake. She was close enough to hear what they were saying.

"K.F.! Man, it's good to see a familiar face." Robin cheered. Evidently he knew who this person was. The ginger boy grin in return. He crossed his arm over his chest in a relaxed stance.

"Hey, Rob. Memory loss?" He asked. That peeked the young girls interest. Were they experiencing memory loss like her and Robin?

"Six months! Let's hogtie these creeps and compare notes." He cried, flailing his arms in frustration. Movement caught Kenna's eye and she snapped her gaze up. Behind the small group, one of the men that had knocked down was struggling to get to his feet. The man had made it completely to his feet and was ready to cock his gun. The blonde frantically scrambled to the top of the hill. At the sound, the small group had turned in the direction of sound. The man brought the gun up and got ready to aim. All of a sudden he was suspended in air, trapped within a large ball of purple and black energy. Robin spun quickly to see Kenna flick her wrist. Having a feeling that she was the reason that the man was trapped in the giant orb. He pivoted just in time to see the orb burst, flinging the man to the side. He landed with a thud, his body rolling across the plains of sand. Kenna lowered her arm and carefully slide down the hill, eyes peering down to concentrate on her movement. She stuck her arms out for balance and she came to a halt at the bottom of the hill. She glanced up from the ground to see people staring at her in awe. Kenna had gave an annoyed yet puzzled look to the boy wonder. If his eyebrow were any higher they would disappear into the mop that was his shaggy hair. A hand came up to to rest on the dip of her hip as she began to talk.

"Don't give me that look! I shot vortexes at your head like four hours ago and that's what has you surprised?!" She asked, flailing the unoccupied hand. Robin blinked multiple times before shrugging, not really knowing how to answer the blonde. She rolled her eyes and sighed, dropping the hand from her hip.

"MCKENNA!" She let out a loud squeak when she was all but tackled by an unknown mass. She stiffened in the embrace not truly understanding what was going on. Her eye were wide like saucers, not entirely comfortable with someone invaded her bubble. She looked at Robin, pleading with her eyes for him to help. Apparently she was being hugged by the green skinned girl and all Robin could do was smirk. He just crossed his arms and gave the blonde a smug expression. Kenna was let go but the girl still had a hold of her shoulders.

"Kenna i'm so happy to see you!" The older girl happily cheered, not paying attention to the deer in the headlight look. It eventually dawned on her and she took one of her hands and face palmed.

"Hello Megan, of course you're weirded out! You don't know who I am. We are on a team! You and I are friends, practically sisters. We bake lots of cookies together!" The green skinned girl spoke, very rapidly. Kenna didn't say a word, just glanced over at Robin for help. What the hell was going on?

"Um, not to be rude but are you sure that you're talking about me and not someone else?" She inquired. The girl vigorously nodded her head in response. Kenna drew her lips into a thin line, raising an eyebrow.

"Not that I don't believe you but that doesn't sound like me. Like at all." She spoke, shaking her head in denial.

"Yeah because when it comes to other people, you're not the most social person." Robin taunted, enjoying how the waves of annoyance radiated from her being.

"Can it bird boy!" She quipped, launching the insult over her shoulder without looking at him. Kid Flash, glanced between the blonde and his best friend.

"So this team thing?" He cleared his throat, drawing attention away from the banter. As if someone had put a coin in her slot, the green skinned teen freed Kenna from her grasp before spinning to face the others.

"The five of us and Superboy." Super-what now? Kenna's eyes followed Robin's movements. The boy wonder peered down at his belt, fingers fishing through one of the bigger pouches. He soon pulled black fabric before handing it to the red haired girl.

"Then this must be his." Kenna only got a glimpse of the fabric but was able to make out the red Superman symbol, or at least part of it.

"Yes! Did you see him?" Her hopeful tone held something that Kenna couldn't quite being able to pinpoint it. If she wasn't mistaken, it seemed as if the martian was concerned for this Superboy like he was her boyfriend or something. She shook her head, trying to ride her mind of the thoughts.

"I think we saw him." The new voice drew Kenna's attention. Her eyes shifted to the archer, who up until this point had not said a single word. The archer directed her words towards the speedster. Kid flash rubbed his chin in thought, his brow furrowed.

"Feral boy? Some teammate, he attacked us." If they were supposed to be team mates,why would he attack them. The thought made the young girls brain hurt. Whatever or whoever caused them to lose their memory deserved to get a shoved up their ass.

"He didn't know who we are. I don't know who we are!" The older blonde restored back to the ginger. Kenna looked back and forth between the blonde and ginger. Something was going on between those two as well. Was every one dating each other or something?

"I remember Batman ordering radio silence. Our team must work for him." Robin broke the banter. Kid Flash snorted, moving his finger to the center of his chest to indicate himself.

"How do you know we don't work for my mentor?" He asked, then something happened. As the lightning bolt was some kind pressure point, Kid Flash's uniform turned from black to a fluorescent yellow and red.

"Woah! This is sick." He continued to press the symbol, switching between colors. Kenna furrowed her brow, staring in utter disbelief. And to make everything better, the other teenagers pressed their symbols in attempt to change to stealth mode. That theory fell through. Archer girl turned to glare at the ginger and placed her hands on her hips.

"Quit touching yourself!"

Kenna faced palmed, shaking her head in defeat. She just had to be on a team full of crazy people. She sighed, bringing head to look up at her surroundings. In shock, Kenna moved her head around to see that she was no longer out in the desert, but enclosed in a purple bubble. Running scenes, like a movie appeared on the walls. Scenes of the team at different points in time. She looked to right to see Robin, Kid Flash and the archer girl. Where the hell where they? The martian then appeared in front of them, hood up. She wrung her hands nervously, scared of the repercussions of what she was about to ask.

"I brought you into my mind to share what I've remembered so far, but I need your help." She tentatively asked. Kenna looked at the girl, her stance tense and apprehensive. Whatever was about to occur wasn't going to end well.

"Together, our broken memories can form a whole, If you open your minds to mine." The question hung in the air, burying Kenna under it's wait.

"You want to paw through our private thoughts?" The archers words only made things worse. Kenna's heart was in her throat, her lungs constricting painfully. Go through her thoughts, her memories? Was was she going to do? They couldn't know. They couldn't know about the things she had done, the people she had killed, the blood on her hands. She was a monster, someone who didn't deserve friends or people who cared for her. She deserved to die alone and that was a fact that she was well aware of. But if she could do anything to hold onto these people just a little bit longer, she was going to do whatever it took.

"A-are you sure there isn't another way?" She asked, trying to rid her voice of any desperation. The martian shook her head, confirming the blondes fear. Kenna sucked her bottom lip between her teeth, biting down hard enough to taste the metallic tang of her blood.

"I have no wish to intrude." The martian tried to reassure but Kenna only sunk her teeth in deeper. The young girl stared holes into the ground, counting and concentrating on her breathing. She could feel a panic attack rearing its head. They were going to find out everything. they were gonna…

Kenna snapped her head up, catching the supportive gaze of the boy wonder. She then felt something lace with her fingers. Peering down once more, Kenna could see Robin weave his fingers between hers, giving her hand a gently but reassuring squeeze.

"The last six months only, and only what you need." She faintly heard before her world went black.

Sweet fancy Moses her brain hurt. She just had six months of memory force fed into her brain all at once. The slight tug of her hand cause Kenna to glance down. Currently her fingers were laced with Robin's. Puzzlement crossed her mind, momentarily forgetting what had happened before the little memory lesson. Her eyes then looked up to meet his masked eyes. Something felt different, but she pushed that thought away. She moved her attention to the other, finding it funny that the odd couple seemed to be having a moment. Artemis and Wally had been holding hands but awkwardly pulled apart. Taking a hint, Kenna gave Robin's hand a squeeze before somewhat reluctantly dropping it. She crossed her arms and tried to think of were Kaldur could have ended up.

"We landed 24 hours ago. If Kaldur'ahm's been wandering the desert that long, well, that's not good for a guy with gills." Wally said, rubbing the back of his neck to get through his awkward phase. Kenna bit her lip in anxiety. She was definitely worried about Kaldur. As if knowing that she was distressed Robin took a step closer to her. His presence made her at ease but only slightly.

"Do you think he is close by?" She asked out in the open. M'gann looked at the girl and nodded, placing her fingers on her temple.

"Now that I know to look for him. He's close! But he's not moving." Her tone sounded pained. Kenna grimaced, trying to control her feelings. She needed to focus on finding him. While she was trapped in thought, the team had already started moving. She blinked rapidly, regaining her concentration. Her feet pounded the sand in a light jog as she made her way towards the team. They had to find Kaldur and they had to find him before time ran out.

Jibberish. All the words went in one ear and out the other's. They had found Kaldur, which was a plus but he seemed to be so dehydrated and delirious that he was speaking in his native tongue. Of course no one hear was fluent in atlantean speak. Kenna had to keep herself from groaning. Things were not going well tonight. Kaldur was sick, M'gann had just ditched them to go find Superboy and now they were trudging across the desert… AGAIN! She just wanted to go home. Wally and Artemis were dragging Kaldur on some kind of stretcher while Robin lead them, nose buried in his hologram map. Kenna walked behind them, eyes tracing the indents stretcher was making in the sand. Kenna unwrapped her arms from her waist, one hand going up to run through her bangs. Her ears perked up, swinging her head around towards the noise. Her feet came to a stop, slightly burying in the sand. It sounded like a truck or something. She wasn't the only one to stop.

"Quick, over there!" Kenna heard Robin's voice first, then she felt a tug at her wrist. She stumbled, tripping over her own feet but she was able to keep pace with the team. Artemis had grabbed her wrist and had yet to let go of it. She relinquished it once they had hide behind a large rock. Once they were safely behind the rock, a squad of humvees rolled past. Kenna snapped her gaze to the team leader, hearing more of his mumbling. She lowered to her knees, placing a dainty hand upon his forehead. She just wanted him better.

"Shh, Kaldur. Everything will be alright." She gently whispered, trying to sooth his state. Honestly she didn't know if her words were to convince him or if they were for her.

"We can't risk a firefight with Aqualad KO'd like this. It's not just him. I'm way out of juice." Wally said, grabbing everyone's attention. Artemis' hand pulled at her quiver as she responded.

"And i'm almost out of arrows!" Kenna could feel her heart plummeted to her stomach. She was under too much stress as it is.

"What about you Kenna?" Wally asked, drawing the blondes attention towards him. He watched her grab a strand of hair, absentmindedly twirling the lock between her fingers.

"I don't think I am in the best mindset to be able to maintain my powers. If we are in a life or death situation then I am going to do everything I can to protect you guy's but I don't know how much longer I can go on like this. I'm sorry guy's." Guilt was eating away at her. She was so useless at this point.

"It's okay McKenna. It's understandable that you feel run down." Artemis tried to console the young girl, knowing that she's beating herself up.

"Yeah it's good cupcake, right Rob….?" Wally said as he turned to ask Robin something but paused when he couldn't catch a glimpse of the young detective. The two females turned to the direction of the missing boy wonder. Wally groaned, running a hand down his tired face.

"I forgot how much I hate it when he does the ninja thing…" he spoke the words then paused, whipping his head around to stare at the blonde next to him. Artemis raised an eyebrow, not fully understand why he was looking at her like that. Totally forgetting Kenna's presence, Wally brought up an old decision he had had with the archer that had occurred when they had been alone.

"Hey, you never said why your dad would want you to kttk! Me." Wally asked, using his hand to make the universal slit throat motion. Kenna pursed her lips, eyebrows furrowing in confusion. Artemis also seemed to disregard the younger girls presents as well.

" I got confused by some old movie I saw the other a ninja girl whose ninja dad ordered her to kill her ninja boyfriend because he was from a rival ninja clan." Kenna blinked rapidly, trying to follow the obvious lie. These two had so much sexual tension circling around them.

"Um guy's… Do I even want to know?" She tentatively asked. She jumped back slightly when both teens turned to her with intensive glares.

"No!" They said at the same time. They then turned back to each other, arguing as if they were in there own little love bubble.

"So, I'm not your ninja boyfriend, huh?" Wally asked, a smug expression on his face. Artemis glowered at him, staring into his soul.

"Hey, amnesia, remember? Completely forgot how truly annoying you are." Artemis growled back. Kenna contemplated the blondes words. She was right about that. Wally's smug expression was wiped away and replaced with a sour expression.

"Oh, like you're the goddess of congeniality." The ginger quipped back.

"Yeesh. Get a room." Robin said, appearing out of nowhere. They all turned to peer at the detective. Kenna placed a hand on her hip, giving the boy a questioning glance.

"Dude where did you go?" She asked. Robin looked at the blonde and couldn't help the large smirk that pulled at his lips.

"Breaking radio silence." Kenna titled her head in confusion before she heard it. Somewhere close by she could hear what sounded like multiple cackles. When she finally understand what was going on gave a chuckle in disbelief.

"You didn't.." She began to say but paused, waiting for the boy wonders reaction.

"Oh Blondie, but I did." His smirk seemed to grow and all of a sudden the ground shook, large amounts of gas filling the air.

"That's our cue. Move!" Robin commanded, quickly standing and running in the opposite direction that they had been going. Kenna stumbled to her feet and followed the boy wonder, Artemis and Wally right behind her. Now they had one more task at hand. Finding the bioship.

She had never been so happy to sit in a chair in her life. Kenna found herself curling into her seat on the bioship. They were waiting for M'gann and Superboy to return. Currently Artemis and Wally were in the med bay, checking on Kaldur while Robin and Kenna were hanging in the control area. All Kenna wanted to do was go home and sleep, recharge her internal battery. She was drained and it was taking a toll on her mental state. She had momentarily closed her eyes, trying to will herself to sleep.

"You Kenna, we are going to have to talk about what happened at Cadmus sometime." Kenna took a deep breath before speaking. She was glad that Robin's chair was behind hers.

"Can we just not?" She pathetically asked, opening her eyes stare at the fabric of her pants.

"McKenna, this isn't just something you can ignore. Whatever happened when you were there is still haunting you." She could hear the frustration in his tone. It was understandable, he had found out something that he shouldn't have. He had nailed everything. Kenna closed her eyes once more, a bitter expression taking over her face.

"Please? Can we not talk about this now? Please?" She pleaded, her tone more broken than she had wanted it to sound. She didn't have the mental stability to talk about this right now. Robin didn't say a word but Kenna could hear him huff and the chair slightly creak. She could imagine him slouching in his chair, his arms crossed and frown etched on his face.

"I just want to keep you guy's from hating me a little while longer." Kenna whispered to herself, wrapping her arms around her curled legs. What she didn't know was the fact that Robin had heard her last words. He gazed at the back of her chair in concern. He concentrated on the chair, unaware that his teammates had shuffled into the room and had gone to sit in their chairs.

Kenna buried her face into her knees, no worrying if her teammates would pick up on her mod. She figured that they would think she was sleep. She didn't want to admit it but this mission had shaken her to the core. The past she had been running away from was resurfacing. And to be honest she was afraid that it was going consume her being. Yeah, nothing more fun than living a nightmare.

Author's Note: Oh my God you guys are the greatest people ever! Over fifty follows?! Seriously when I saw that, I cried a little and them jumped for joy. I ended up scaring the crap out of my dog Steve. But anyway's, I just wanted to say you guys are the greatest ever. I hope you liked this chapter and I'm super sorry that it took so long. I was debating forever on how much I wanted to reveal about what happened to Kenna when she was taken to Cadmus. And yes I know that I was hinting at Robin and Kenna but they wont be getting anywhere close to that kind of relationship for a long time. Sorry to disappoint but I hope there was enough fluff for you guys. So next chapter should be up sooner, I promise. The next chapter is not following and episode per say. All i'm going to say is Kenna gets to go to school! Okay this author's note is freaking long and i'm sorry i'm rambling. Okay few things. You guy's are awesome, I love each and every one of you.
