Geez, in the last chapter there was supposed to be a break between Karma to the hospital room and Kadeem asking his question. For some reason the website didn't like that and crammed them together, and wouldn't let me change anything. ANYWHO!

Shout Outs:

Jimmy Candlestick: YOU ARE AWESOME! First to review for chapter 1 and I love messing around with Monkey- its fun. Plus who doesn't love to write about memory loss? And if I was Kurt, I'd be very aloof 'Yeah I was….yeah…hm' Glad you enjoyed it.

Everyone else…where'd you go I MISS YOU GUYS?! By the way, I turned on the anonymous review in case you can't sign in or whatever (ha, I say it like Markie does…)

P.S. Chapter 2 is a little rocky since I have to tie things together, so wear a seat belt!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Acceleracers series but a girl can dream

CHAPTER 2

"The boys are not going to like this, neither will Doctor Tezla," Lani watched as the mysterious driver with amnesia fell back into a deep slumber.

"Speaking of the good doctor, where is he?" Karma asked as a mechanical whirl produced behind them. Gig was hovering between them, his orange and blue metallic paint shining from the dimly lit lights above. He looked back and forth between the two human drivers and their surprised and worried faces.

"Is everything alright? Where is the Drone?" Gig asked. They groaned—how were they going to explain this one cleanly?

"Gig weren't you with us when we opened the car?" Lani asked confused, remembering that the mechanical assistance was with them at the time, for he had commented on the speed of the Wheel. (A/N: I almost forgot that Gig was there XD).

"I rushed to the lab to explain to Doctor Tezla the situation; he would like to know what was done with the Drone." Gig commanded as Lani rubbed her forehead. One way or the other, this would not end well for the mysterious driver. Either she was going to be mauled and tested by Doctor Tezla, or just plain mauled by the drivers.

"It wasn't a Drone, Gig," Gig remained utterly silent, "it was a human driver behind the wheel."

"I must notify Doctor Tezla immediately then." Gig started to rush off as Lani grabbed the metal body of the machine.

"Hold it, Gig, there is something else you need to know. The driver has amnesia; she can't remember her name let alone what's happening in the realms." Lani told the robot, which shook his head and hovered away.

"Damage control…?" Karma asked as she pointed behind her to the conference entry. Lani sighed with a heavy breath and shook her head. Coming to work for Doctor Tezla did not sound hard at first. All she had to do was radio with the drivers, let them know any further developments, and keep the cars in working condition. Drama like this was not supposed to happen, but when you're racing in alternate dimensions with robots built for driving, something like this was bound to happen.

"Let's go break the news to them," Lani gave a small ghost of a smile, "let's hope they haven't torn each other apart yet."

"I'm more worried about Wylde and Kurt…" Karma stated, knowing fully well that the Metal Maniac Wylde hated the Teku Wylde with a passion like no other. The female drivers walked back in silence, wrapped up in their own thoughts and worries at the moment. Once they made their way across the cat walk the women froze when they heard shouting and loud bangs. Rushing to the room, the doors opened quickly with a hiss as Lani and Karma gasped. Taro was holding Wylde's arms from behind as Monkey pushed him away from the table. Vert was doing the same thing with Kurt as Kadeem held him back. Wylde tried to push Monkey away, causing Taro to tighten his hold on him, but the guy could only take so much.

"What is going on in here?! Karma and I are gone for half an hour and you two are tearing each other to pieces!" Lani screamed as the guys settled down somewhat.

"Markie attacked Kurt after they had an argument over…ideas…"Vert hesitantly explained as the two Wylde brothers brushed themselves off and glared icily at each other. Lani huffed at the two—why couldn't brothers ever get along?

"How is the driver?" Kadeem asked as all eyes turned eagerly to the two women who gave each other worried looks. Well, here went everything...

"She's awake," The boys nodded their head eagerly and were about to walk out the door in the same direction as the infirmary, "but she has amnesia…" They froze and stared at Lani with wide eyes and open jaws.

"Are you kidding me…?" Taro said in shock that reflected the entire room (A/N: He said it like when he was stuck in the Water Realm for the second time).

"She asked me and Lani if we knew what her name was, I doubt that she can remember anything about the Drones then either." Karma explained as the drivers groaned.

"Well that's just great…" Kurt huffed as he threw himself back in the nearest leather chair he could find. The drivers followed his lead and sat down as well, each team still on their respected sides.

"True, but it means that someone went to a lot of trouble to make her loose her memory over a race…" Kadeem thought as the idea was left hanging in the air. If the driver had come of her own free will, why was her car going so fast? On one hand, it could be that she was trying to escape, and in the process hit the wall so hard she lost her memory. On another hand, she could be a spy, sent to watch the drivers in the realms by the Drones. If her amnesia was true, than Kadeem was right—a driver wouldn't need to go flying that hard out of a portal to escape. Someone wanted her to crash, either killing her or hitting her hard enough to forget. If that was the case, if she was running from the Drones, she was a victim and not a traitor. But only theories could be thrown around until they knew for certain.

"So…what do we do with her?" Taro finally voiced the last important question that they could ask, given the circumstances. They all looked from one team member, to another, and back.

"The least she could do is help us if she really is innocent…" Vert said as agreement was thrown around the room.

"And if she isn't?" Kurt countered.

"Then we keep an eye on her…" Taro pointed out.

"I suppose she could stay with Doctor Tezla and me in the control room. That way we could keep an eye on her and help us," Lani suggested and snapped her fingers, "Speaking of which, Doctor Tezla is with the driver right now, I'll go help explain the situation. We're about to have another guest with us…" Lani sprinted out of the room as silence was taken once again.

"To bad she can't remember how to drive." Monkey thought out loud as the drivers look at him strangely. Right, like an amnesiac would remember how to drive a car, when she couldn't remember her own name…

"Doctor Tezla?" Lani called out as she entered the infirmary room, and gasped in surprise. Doctor Tezla was sitting in one of the plastic chairs next to the driver's bed, with his hands folded across his lap and his eyes blocked by his purple visors. The driver was propped up in the bed, hands folded across her lap as well, the bandages around her head removed. Her hazel eyes were open and alert to her surroundings.

"How are you feeling?" Lani asked as the driver shrugged.

"As good as a person with partial amnesia is I suppose. My head doesn't hurt anymore so Doctor Tezla here helped me remove them," Lani looked worried, "relax, I'm fine. They were making my head itch anyway."

"Partial amnesia—so you remember something then?" Lani eagerly asked, hoping to give the drivers some sort of good news.

"Not really…" The girl sighed as Doctor Tezla cleared his throat.

"She remembers feelings, Lani: sounds, tastes, maybe a few things she knows she likes and dislikes unconsciously." Tezla explained as the driver interrupted him.

"Kind of like I know I hate blueberries, but I love strawberries, just tiny unimportant things like that." She practically hissed and rolled her eyes at the last piece of the sentence.

"Things like her family, her friends, school, more specific memories she can't remember."

"Including my name…" She mimicked the doctor and groaned loudly.

'Why did I have to get AMNESIA?' She thought bitterly.

"I was also just discussing here with our mysterious guest what we were doing. Care to help me explain Lani?" Doctor Tezla stared at her above his glasses, looking surprised and somewhat bemused by the driver's presence.

"Okay what have you said so far?" Lani asked, sitting on the opposite side of her.

"All he said was that you and the girl I met earlier—Karma, you guys were racers." She explained as Lani groaned. Of course he left out the part with the Wheel of Power and the Drones, the things she couldn't explain clearly.

"That's true, but we're unique drivers, we…," Lani gulped, "we race in different dimensions." The girl blinked her eyes for a few moments, nodding slowly and carefully…

And then burst out laughing.

"Nice, playing a joke on the girl who has amnesia. Okay, okay, that was funny, but seriously. I may have amnesia but I'm not stupid, that seems a little far fetched to me." The driver's laughter died down as she saw Lani and Tezla kept a straight face through the entire thing.

"Wait…," She looked between the two of them, "you guys are serious. Did I wake up in the mental ward or something?" She practically yelled.

"No, you're in our headquarters. (A/N: Eh, close enough…) Let me explain…" Tezla said as he turned on one of the screens connecting to the control room. The Wheel of Power appeared on screen, circling in a slow manner as the symbols glittered in an imaginary light.

"This is called the Wheel of Power, made entirely of raw energy—enough to power North America. It was created by the Accelerons, beings who created the Wheel along with advanced technology. They created Highway 35, the alternate dimension where the Wheel is stored. With us?" Tezla asked seeing her blank look at the screen.

"Highway 35 holds the Wheel, the Wheel was created by advanced beings with power called Accelerons, and I think I'm okay right now." She muttered as Tezla turned to the next slide. The screen went to blank fuzz as a caption of a Drone appeared. It seemed to miss the camera until it turned around and stared long and hard. His invisible green eyes suddenly shot up behind a neon green visor and advanced toward the camera. With a robotic growl, the screen went to white fuzz again, but not before Tezla made a still image of the Drone on the TV.

"That's a Drone, robots built for driving who wish to take over the world. There leader is Gelorum." Tezla said as she rubbed her head.

"And they…" She hesitated, almost wanting to the find the answer herself.

"The Drones stole the Wheel of Power in order to access other realms, which are where we come in. Our mission is to stop the Drones from taking over the world." Tezla finished.

"And these realms, they're important because…?" She motioned with her hands to move along.

"We're not sure, but we think they allow the Drones to get stronger with each one they go into." Lani piped up, and watched as the driver's eyes turned between a glare and a hard icy stare.

"So where do I come into this picture?" She asked coldly, not understanding how she got there in the first place, but then again she had amnesia—it was understandable.

"We believe you came from one of the realms in a car, you were the driver and, well," Lani moved across the room and picked up the Drone uniform, "we found you wearing this." She placed the now cold cloth in the girl's lap, as she studied the material carefully. She took in all the details, from the neon green colors of the joints to the dark green symbol on the chest covered in blood.

"So I must be a driver then, maybe I help you…wait," She studied the colors and snapped her head up toward the screen again. The Drone was paused on screen in black and green…black…and green, "you think I'M a Drone! But that's impossible you said that they were robots!" She screamed as she looked at both of them bewildered.

"Unless…" Tezla said and stared directly at the girl's face.

"Unless…what?" Lani gulped and waited for the outrageous scream to ensue.

"Unless…we think…we think you were a spy for the Drones as a human driver…"

"So…you think I drive for them…as a spy…as a traitor…," The girl laughed bitterly and sighed sharply, "funny thing is…is that I can actually believe that…"

"What?!" Lani cried as she watched the driver brush her bangs out of her eyes.

"Well…I have no idea where I'm from, who I am, what I do…I'm wearing Drone colors…and I come out of nowhere! If I had some common sense, I'd think I was a Drone too…and I hate myself…" She gripped the clothes tighter until her knuckles were white, staring at the clothes so hard they would have burned under the gaze if they could.

"We're not entirely sure that that's true though…you could have been a spy on the Drones, not for them…" Lani tried to reassure the girl as she shut her eyes and craned her neck further. She threw the uniform on the floor and turned sharply to Tezla's eyes.

"I want to help…," They looked at her shocked, "I don't care…if I'm a human, or a Drone, or whatever the hell I am. I want to help make up for any mistakes I made." She stood taller against the back board of the bed and gave them a hard look.

"What do you propose we do?" Tezla asked a somewhat secretive smile on his face. The ominous doctor had a feeling this was coming, and perhaps with time, her memories would return giving them an advantage against the Drones.

"I want to drive…" Lani huffed amused at the thought.

"But you—"

"Can't remember, I know, doesn't mean I can't try." The girl barked back as Tezla slowly stood.

"Perhaps it's like riding a bicycle—something you don't forget, maybe she trained her subconscious on how."

"And if the Drones hired me to drive for them I had to be pretty damn good in the first place," She pointed to him in agreement as Lani still looked unsure, "Lani at least let me try. I can't stand the thought of being some kind of…hired mercenary driver for a bunch of junk put together. And from the look on your face…you don't want to believe it either." Lani looked at the girl in wonder—for a person with amnesia, she had a lot of guts left. Plus, she had a way with words; she could have been a poet at one time in her life. "Look…I may remember very little, but I'm not going to sit around and play the damsel in distress." She swung her legs over the side of the bed and jumped up. That was until she started to wobble from side to side, throwing her arms out to steady herself.

"See you can barely stand." Lani pointed to her legs.

"Nah, that's just the drugs in my system, although," She grabbed the sleeve of her hospital gown and looked disgusted, "I can't exactly race in this…" Lani rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Here," she tossed her the duffel bag that sat on the floor of the beside. The girl caught it with some form of ease, one hand clutching the bottom, the other the handles, "this is yours I believe." The driver smiled as she unzipped the bag and folded it open. Lucky her, there was a set of clothes sitting on the very top. Pulling those out and zipping the bag back up, she rushed inside the bathroom to change.

"You're not going to see what else is in there?" Lani yelled though the door.

"Later, right now my priority is to help you stop the Drones…hell, maybe with my return I'll scare the crap out of them…" She yelled back as the door hissed open again. Lani couldn't help but smirk at the girl's choice of clothing; she could have fit in with the Metal Maniacs if she wanted to. She was wearing a pure white spaghetti strapped top and black fingerless gloves up to her wrists. Her pants were consistent with a fake type of leather, a silver chain dangling from one of the belt loops to her right pocket. The pants stopped just above her knees, tight against her skin and muscles. Her shoes were white Converses that reached a little above her ankles. She had pulled her hair back into a ponytail, bangs falling across her forehead.

"C'mon…I'll show you to the conference room…there's someone you need to meet." Lani gestured to the door, and she followed closely behind somewhat terrified. She threw the duffel bag onto the bed as she left, pushing it to the back of her mind for now. She fidgeted with her hands as Lani watched her somewhat amused—so much for the confidence from earlier.

"You can use one of the test cars when were done, maybe the doctor is right and it's like riding a bike." Lani said as the girl shrugged nervously. Crossing the cat walk in silence, Lani leaned against the railing.

"Ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be…" The girl shoved her hands into her back pockets and gulped. The doors to the room hissed open and the girl gaped and pivoted to face Lani.

"I thought you said some ONE, not some PEOPLE!"

…

Kay, you can take your seat belt off, the damage is done for now.

This was the most boring chapter to write and the most confusing so far. Maybe not the best, but it's only the chip of the iceberg so far! (Sniffs) ah, drama!

I can't wait to write everyone's reactions when they meet her for the first time.

I'd be like the driver myself, thinking I was drone if I woke up with those colors on… The last sentence was the BEST to write for me, I could just imagine myself saying that (if Lani didn't tell ME I was meeting all the drivers…actually I'd probably faint)

And she WILL have a name; they aren't to call her 'the mysterious driver' forever… I just have to think of it! Laughs
