Oyuka P.O.V. I awaoke with a pounding pain in my forehead. When I tried to sit up, I found myself tied to a makeshift bed in some kind of warehouse. Terry, where- "Ah!" I couldn't use my psy! "Oh, shit," I mumbled. I was still clothed, at least. No pain except for the wrecking ball inside my head. Hell, I had a whole freaking demolition crew up there!

"You're awake."

A Joker with green hair, the one who looked the most like the original, walked into my "room".

"Mister J{1}."

"Exactly. We wanted to make you comfortable, but we couldn't risk you using those pesky powers of yours." He gently touched the bandage on my forehead.

"Why are you holding me? And how in the cornbread hell do you know about my powers?" My mind was racing. When I didn't show up at Wayne's, he'd call again. Then Terry would know I was missing. I had a tracer, if the Jokerz hadn't removed it. Pu could follow it and find me!

"All in good time, chibi neko{2}." With a laugh, he left me in the dark again. I was in shock. Chibi neko had been my mom's nickname for me. Even my dad never called me that. Then how did they know? My mind clicked through the possible reasons, that they had found her before she died, that she had joined them,--no! There must have been some other reason! Mother would never--

"Slaggit!" My phone rang, slicing the silence. I struggled, using as much of my power as I could, I removed the cuff on my left arm and answered it. "'Lo?"

"Oyuka? Where are you?"

"Wayne! The Jokerz have me! I'm in some sorta warehouse."

"Where?"

"I'm wearing a tracer. Pu can pick it up."

"Alright." I heard footsteps behind the door and quickly hung up. I put my hand back where it had been, and watched the Jokerz walk in.

"Well, you ready to meet someone?" I stayed silent. "Well, too bad. Here she is!" A woman walked out from behind the others. She had long black hair and dark brown, almond-shaped eyes. She wore a satiny blue kimono with a yellow butterfly design. A green sash was wrapped around the middle, tied into a bow in the back. Her hair was tied into a bow on top of her head with lauqer chopsticks stuck through it. I knew her so well, though she was a stranger. It was my mother.
