Bialya
September 4, 00:30 EEST
"Jeez why does my head hurt so much? Did Wally spike my canteen with sleeping medicine? He's so dead." Mia softly moans and looks around her surrounding. Her eyes widen at the realization that she's tied up in the back of a Humvee and has two guards in the front. "Oh boy." She takes a deep breath and teleports out of the Humvee appearing behind some rocks 20 feet away. "At least they didn't tie my legs. Now how do I get rid of this rope?" she looks around "Ah ha." Mia walks over to a small rock with a sharpened point and cuts through her binds.
After a few minutes, she frees herself and went to start her search for her family. "Hold on guys, I'm coming." Mia had searched for hours on end and couldn't find anyone. She had to start walking because she used her powers so much that blood started coming out of her nose. After walking a few more miles, she had to take a break before she collapsed.
"Rest for five minutes then continue the search. Everyone's counting on you Mia, you have to find them." Mia slowly sat down underneath the shade of a large rock and when her butt touched the sand, she sighs in relief. "That's better" she mutters.
Suddenly she hears a Humvee coming in her direction and she groans. "If I run they'll see me and if I use my powers, I'll most likely pass out. Option 2 sounds much better than Option 1." Mia takes a deep breath and musters all of her willpower to teleport. She silently prayed that she would appear next to Robin.
Robin groggily walks and uses a rock to keep himself up. Soon he sees a cloud of dust coming his way and notices that it was a Humvee filled with soldiers. He hides so he wouldn't get caught and when the Humvee left, he takes the time to figure out what was going on.
"Those are Bialyan Republican Army uniforms. But what are Bialyans doing in, uh, Bialya?" he pulls up his holo-computer and saw that he was in Bialya "Ok. Better question- what am I doing in Bialya? In September? What happened to March? Better radio Batman."
Flashback
"Maintain radio silence at all times."
End of Flashback
"Or not." He jumps down from his spot and soon notices a piece of ripped black shirt with the S shield on it. Next thing he knew, he hears a soft thump behind him. Robin quickly turns around to see Mia but he doesn't remember who she is. Mia looks at Robin with a huge smile and lets out a sigh of relief.
"Thank god I found you Rob. Are you ok? Where are the others?"
Robin got into a fighting stance and Mia looks at him weirdly. "What is he doing?" she took a step forward and he took a step back.
"Rob, are you ok?"
"Who are you?"
Mia scoffs "Ha ha very funny Rob. Now quit joking around and help me find the others."
"I'm not going anywhere with you until you tell me who you are and why you're in Bialya."
Realization hits Mia like a ton of bricks. "He doesn't remember me or the Team. Oh no." She turns off the suit's stealth mode and takes off her cowl to reveal her soft facial features, doe-like eyes and chocolate wavy hair.
"R-rob it's m-me, Mia. Don't you remember?"
Robin analyzes Mia and narrows his eyes. She sighs and went to take something out of her belt but Robin quickly grabs her wrist.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" he threatens.
"I have something to show you. Maybe it'll help you remember."
Mia takes out her sketch book and hands it to him. He was hesitant to take it but the look on Mia's face meant that it wasn't dangerous. Robin looks at the pages that had folded corners and studies the drawings intensely. "I've seen this style of drawings before back at the mansion. All of the paintings Bruce buys belong to some art prodigy named Amelia Ramires" he looks back up at Mia "Is she Amelia Ramires? If so, why is she here in Bialya and why is she wearing a superhero suit?"
"Does anything ring a bell Rob?" she softly asks.
He doesn't answer and she hangs her head in defeat. "Please let him remember, please." As Mia lifts her head, her eyes went out of focus and she started seeing double. She tried to lift her hands but they felt like lead then her world turns sideways. Robin caught her just before she fell and had a look of worry upon his face.
"Why did I do that?" "Hey wake up" he tries shaking her but it didn't work. Suddenly he has flashbacks of him helping Mia a few times and the two of them hanging out. Robin looks down at Mia and softly whispers "Mia."
In a random shed in the middle of nowhere, Wally wakes up and takes in his surrounding. "Well this is great." He looks over to see Artemis but doesn't recognize her, so he tries to wake her up.
"Hey. You. Wake up."
Artemis groans and starts waking up. When she saw Wally, she freaks out and backs away from him, hitting the back wall in the process.
"Hey, it's ok. It's ok. I won't hurt you. I'm one of the good guys. You know, Kid Flash."
"Seen Kid Flash on the news. He doesn't wear black."
Wally glances at his suit "A little unclear on that myself. What about you? Green Arrow fixation?"
Artemis looks down at her suit and was shocked. "Who put me in this?"
"Wow. I am not touching that with a 10 foot-uh- so, you know how to use that bow?" he feels a chill run up his spine "Why am I getting the feeling that someone's scolding me?"
"Yeah. My dad taught me. Dad. He must have done this. Another of his stupid tests."
"What kind of test?"
"He probably wants me to kill you" she said with a straight face.
Wally was shocked to say the least, suddenly they hear the whistle of an incoming missile so they ran out of the shed as fast as possible. When the missile destroyed the shed, the two of them got caught in the blast force and were thrown forward. They see Humvees filled with soldiers coming at them and they started to run away. As the soldier started shooting at the duo, Artemis jumps off to the side so she can shoot an arrow at the vehicle.
The Humvee flies over her and Wally and she hid behind a rock for cover so she can continue shooting arrows at the Bialyan soldiers. Wally lowers his goggles, grabs Artemis and runs while carrying her bridal style.
"Sorry. They've got bigger arrows" he reasons.
Tanks started firing missiles at them and Wally dodges each and every one of them.
"Thanks."
"Hey, I told you, good guy. Now, not to pry, but what's your name? Oh, and what's this about you killing me?"
M'gann's flying around having the time of her life at the moment because she doesn't remember a thing! "I'm actually on Earth! I've wanted this for so long…even if it's not exactly like TV. But why can't I remember how I got here?" she stops flying and begins to meditate "Concentrate. Remember."
Soon she remembers bits and pieces:
Superboy setting up a device telling her to be careful. Another memory of what happened just before the mission started.
"Careful, Superboy they're hot" she warns him as he picks up a cookie.
"Not as hot as you, babe" Wally eats a cookie.
"Thanks, Wally. That's, um, sweet."
"Mmm. Not as sweet as you, sugar."
"Oh for Pete's sake, will you stop that?!" Mia chides.
"Oh, grow up" Artemis states after smacking Wally in the back of the head.
"Ow!"
"Serves you right. Nice one Artemis" Mia high-fives her.
"Team, report to the Mission Room."
"I'm on a team! I have friends! And a Superboy who might be…I need to find him. Them." "Hello? Um, Team?" "Maybe they're just out of my range."
Robin took the time to take care of Mia for a bit until she woke up. As he was cleaning her face, he notices dry blood just above her lip and takes a closer look at it. "It's been dry for a few hours at most. But the question is why is she getting nosebleeds all of a sudden? Unless-" Mia starts to groan for a bit and soon opens her eyes to see Robin smiling at her.
"Rob?"
"The one and only" he gives her a cheeky grin.
"Oh thank god you're ok. Now let's go find the others."
"What others?"
"I'll explain on the way. Help me up."
Mia struggles a bit to get up but he gently pushes her back down. She looks at him with a frown.
"You're in no condition to be going anywhere."
She gives him a glare that's deadlier than the Batglare "Robin if you don't help me get up right this second, so help me God I'm sending you to the Andromeda Galaxy. Do I make myself clear?"
He nods and helps her back on her feet. Soon the duo started their trek to find the missing members of their team.
Meanwhile, Wally continues to run and stops after a few miles. He sets Artemis down then pants heavily.
"Sorry. Running on empty. Don't think I've eaten in a while" he checks his snack compartment "Damn it" "Been out here over 24 hours or my cupboards wouldn't be bare."
Next thing they knew, Superboy lands between them and scares them in the process. He smacks Wally off to the side and he goes after Artemis next. She does a few backflips away from him so she had time to notch an arrow and fire it at him. The arrow didn't work as Superboy continued to go after her. She fires a few more arrows at him but they weren't working.
"Oh great."
"Don't be like that Artemis. Look at the bright side" Mia states from a memory.
"That was weird." She jumps out of the way when suddenly a missile hits Superboy and she got caught in the blast force. Superboy launches himself out of the crater and straight at the tank while Artemis woke up from her daze and saw the scene in front of her. He's going completely savage, destroying everything he sees and doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.
"Whose side is he on?" Artemis asks.
"Want to stick around and find out?"
The two watch Superboy tear apart a tank then Wally runs in the opposite direction with Artemis in his arms. As he runs down a hill, he trips over a rock causing the two of them to tumble down the hill. Two drones appear out of nowhere and starts firing at them.
"Get down!" Wally pushes Artemis to the ground in order to dodge the bullets.
Artemis notches an arrow and when she releases it, she suddenly hears M'gann's voice in her head.
"Don't worry, I'm almost there!"
"Did you just hear a girl talking in your head?"
"Girls are always on my mind. But they're not usually talking." Wally involuntarily flinches and rubs the back of his head "That's weird."
M'gann forces the two drones to crash into each other, destroying them in the process. She lands in front of the duo with a smile on her face.
"Well, J'onn, the costume looks familiar, but I'm not sure the new bod screams 'Manhunter'."
"You know my Uncle J'onn? Hello, Megan, of course you do. You're Kid Flash. Wally. And you're Artemis."
"Wait, wait, wait. Martian Manhunter's your uncle? Is that how you know my name?"
"Your name is really Wally?" Artemis asks.
"Ohh" Wally groans.
"It's ok. We're teammates. Friends. I made you cookies."
"You know her?" Artemis looks at Wally like Have you been cheating on me?
"I swear, beautiful, never seen her in my life. At least-"
"You both lost your memories too" M'gann looks over to see smoke rising in the distance "Come on. I'll fill you as we go. Robin, Superboy and Mia need our help."
"Of course. Robin and Super what now? And who?" Wally wonders.
Superboy is captured and struggles to get free.
"You must control his mind" a soldier states to the hooded figure.
"Doesn't seem to be much mind in there left to control" he raises his hand "But…be still."
Superboy stops struggling and passes out. The soldiers drag his body into a truck and left the area. Little did they know that behind some rocks was Kaldur unconscious.
Night falls on Mia and Robin as they continued their trek to find their teammates. They've been walking slow due to Mia overusing her powers and still hasn't recovered from it yet with her arm draped over Robin's shoulder. To fill the silence, Mia starts to softly sing.
"Hakuna Matata what a wonderful phrase. Hakuna Matata ain't no passion craze"~
"It means no worries for the rest of your days. It's our problem free, philosophy"~
"Hakuna Matata"~
Mia looks over at Robin with a smile on her face and he returns it. He looks back at his holo-computer stating "Wish I could remember why I put a GPS marker here."
"Oh because-"
They reached the device and Robin pulls Mia down for cover.
"Huh! Guessing that's why" he looks up to scan the area then looks at Mia "Stay here."
"Trust me, I will."
Mia took the time to relax while Robin went to look at the device. However when he reached it, four Bialyan soldiers popped out of the sand aiming their guns at Robin. They went after him and all he did was smile and drops a smoke pellet. Robin easily takes them out using the skills he learned from Batman and from his past. It was going well until the soldiers started firing at him and that's when Mia intervenes.
"Let's hope I can get this right." Mia takes a deep breath and concentrates on teleporting the bullets to another location away from them. She knew she was partially successful because she felt some of the bullets disappear. However doing this trick comes at a cost, she starts to get nosebleeds and nearly faints every time she teleports attacks and fast moving objects. If the object is not moving and small, she has no problem with it, if it was moving and large…well you get the idea.
The bullets seem to stop and Mia notices a black streak running in front of the soldiers grabbing their guns. "Wally" she sighs in relief.
"I'll hold that. Thanks!" Wally drops the guns and attacks the soldiers.
Two soldiers appeared behind Robin and were quickly taken out by M'gann. As the last of the soldiers were taken care of, Mia comes out of hiding and smiles brightly at her family. "They're ok." Taking a few steps, she felt faint but she pushes through as she meets up with the rest of them.
"K.F.! Man, it's good to see a familiar face."
"Robin!" Mia whines.
He looks over at her with a sheepish smile.
"Hey, Rob. Memory loss?" Wally asks.
"6 months. Let's hogtie these creeps and compare notes."
With the soldiers tied up, M'gann and Mia explains everything that's happened to them and they got the gist of it.
"So we're a team?" Robin asks.
"Got that right" Mia answers.
"The 5 of us and Superboy" M'gann responds.
"This doesn't feel right. Who are we missing?" Mia felt her eyes widen "Oh no."
"Then this must be his" Robin give M'gann the torn shirt.
"Yes! Did you see him?" M'gann asks.
"I think we did" Artemis answers.
"Feral boy? Some teammate. He attacked us" Wally states.
"He didn't know who we are. I don't know who we are" Artemis exclaims.
"I remember Batman ordering radio silence. Our team must work for him" Robin concludes.
"How do you know we don't work for my mentor?" Wally asks.
"Because Flash wouldn't send us on a covert mission where we have to use stealth tech" Mia answers.
Wally taps his emblem and realizes that his suit changes color. "Whoa. This is so cool!"
Artemis, Robin and M'gann did the same thing but their suits didn't change at all, while Mia's did but she didn't want to show.
"We look ridiculous" Artemis exclaims.
"Quit touching yourself!" Artemis and Mia scolds Wally.
Artemis looks at Mia in surprise and she gives her a cheeky grin. Mia's signature cheeky grin causes Artemis to have a flashback and her eyes widened.
"Mia?" she whispers.
Mia nods and Artemis hugs her. The two continue to hug until Wally started to complain.
"Is this really the time to have a chick flick moment?"
Mia lets out an irritated sigh and looks over at Wally. "Oh for Pete's sake Wally. Just let us have this moment, it's the least you can do after being such a pain sometimes."
"Mia!" he involuntarily yells out. He pauses for a minute "Whoa. Where did that come from?"
"We need our memories back" Artemis concludes.
M'gann has been quiet the entire time then thought of an idea. "To help Superboy" and she allows them to enter her mind.
All four looked around and saw fragments of different memories around them.
"I've brought you into my mind to share what I've remembered so far. But I need your help. Together, our broken memories can form a whole, if you open your minds to mine."
"You want to paw through our private thoughts?" Artemis asks.
"I have no wish to intrude. But-"
"We need to hack our minds to grok what happened to us. Got it. Go" Robin states.
"My brain's all yours. Try not to let its brilliance overwhelm you" Wally flirts.
"Or underwhelm you. Hey, why isn't anyone ever just whelmed?" Robin wonders.
Mia snickers "And there's the Robin I know and love. Hey, small problem with that plan" M'gann looks at her "Um…no one can read my mind. You've tried it and J'onn has tried it but nothing happened. Also I have all of my memories and I don't know why. So I don't know how you're going to read my mind but give it a try."
Wally moves closer to Artemis and holds her hand in reassurance.
"Last 6 months only, and only what you need" Artemis states.
M'gann nods then four blue stretchy hands touched each of their heads. Instantly, they started to remember.
Flashback
"The Watchtower detected an immense power surge in the Bialyan desert. Spectral analysis reveals elements non-terrestrial in origin. Find out what happened at the site, what landed there. Bialya is a rogue state ruled by Queen Bee, and not a member of the League's U.N. charter. All communications are subject to interception. Maintain radio silence at all times" Batman orders "You'll land in Qurac on Bialya's border, 2 clicks from the hot zone."
"All clear" Robin states.
"The Bialyan's control the site" Artemis concludes as she and Robin see a tent set up and soldiers guarding it.
"Set up here" someone orders.
"Geez Supey, you sure have been working out haven't you?" Mia retorts.
He gives her a playful glare and she sticks her tongue out at him.
"We'll be up and running in no time" Robin states.
"Jackpot! The site's lousy with zeta beam radiation" Wally exclaims.
"Detecting non-terrestrial trace elements from the tent" Robin observes.
"I'll check it out in camouflage mode" M'gann offers.
"I'll help too. I'll be in and out before they notice" Mia offers too.
"Good idea. Go."
"Careful" Superboy told M'gann.
"And maintain telepathic contact" Kaldur orders.
"I will, Aqualad" M'gann confirms.
End of Flashback
Those who lost their memories shouted "Aqualad!" while Mia had a glaze look over her eyes and remained silent.
"Where is he? What happened next?" Robin asks.
"I don't know! That's the last thing I-we remember" M'gann responds.
Wally and Artemis quickly let go of their hands.
"We landed 24 hours ago. If Kaldur'ahm's been wandering the desert that long, well, that's not good for a guy will gills" Wally states.
"Now that I know to look for him…" Robin checks Kaldur's GPS location "He's close! But he's not moving."
As they went to find Kaldur, Artemis was the first to notice that Mia wasn't with them. She turns back and finds her in the exact same spot with the same glaze look. "Mia?" she touches her shoulder and Mia collapses. "Mia!" Artemis grabs one of her arms, placing it over her shoulders and half walk/carried Mia to where the rest are. When she arrived, Wally notices them with concern written all over his face.
"What happened?!"
"I don't know! She wasn't with us so I turned back and found her in a zombie like state. When I touched her shoulder, she just collapsed."
Wally grabs Mia's other arm and places it over his shoulders so she can have better support. Soon Kaldur starts muttering in Atlantian and no one is understanding what he's saying.
"I can't restore his memories in this condition" M'gann states.
"He needs immediate rehydration. Call the bioship" Robin orders.
"It's out of range but you can get him there fast" M'gann tells Wally.
"He's too heavy, and I'm too low on fuel. Right now, I couldn't even carry her or Mia."
Artemis scoffs "You are so lucky that Mia didn't hear you say that."
"Why not just levitate him back? And Mia?" Wally asks.
"I can't. I have to find Superboy. 6 months ago, he didn't exist. He has no memories-just animal impulse. I'm the only one who can help him" M'gann reasons.
"Superboy's indestructible. Just ask those tanks. It's Aqualad and Blink who need your help. Like, now" Wally states.
"No! Superboy's in pain! We can't wait!" M'gann flies away to rescue Superboy.
"We still don't know what erased our memories! It could happen again!" Robin yells.
He looks over to Artemis and Wally with a determined look. Robin takes Mia from them and places her on his back.
"Make a stretcher for Aqualad, I got Blink."
"Rob, are you sure?" Wally asks.
"No doubt about it."
Wally nods then starts making the makeshift stretcher with Artemis' help. Robin shifts Mia a little bit to make it easier to carry her. When the makeshift stretcher was finished, the trio took their passed out teammates to the bioship.
M'gann flies towards the tent, where Superboy is being held in, in camouflage mode and walks in successfully. She sees a handful of scientists, armed guards, a large mechanical sphere trapped and Superboy being electrocuted. After knocking down a few scientists, M'gann turns off the machine quickly but she didn't notice the hooded figure behind her.
"Well" she gasps "Someone's certainly a glutton for punishment. Psimon says…forget."
M'gann winces in pain and opens her eyes to see that she's in her head with various objects from different memories jumbled together. Suddenly Psimon's voice spoke "That's it. Forget like before" then she remembers what happened.
Flashback
"We're in" M'gann states as she walks in the tent in camouflage mode. Mia quietly appears in a corner of the tent.
"Good, but tread carefully. Camouflage is not invisible" Kaldur warns.
"Don't you worry about us Aqualad. We got this" Mia proudly states as she maneuvers over getting a closer look.
"They're testing something. To make someone in pain."
"Well that's just rude" Mia comments.
"Hello? Can you hear me?"
"I can…and an open mind is a dangerous thing" a male voice spoke.
"Someone's hacked our link!"
"Uh oh" Mia states.
"Psimon can't see you. Psimon can't catch you. But Psimon can make you all forget!"
"Yeah….good luck with that bud" Mia retorts.
Soon everyone but Mia cries in pain and go in separate directions while back in the tent, a soldier finds Mia and knocks her out.
End of Flashback
M'gann opens her eyes again to see white streaks eating away the memories she recently recovered.
"No. I won't let it happened again."
Psimon's head appears in her mind "No really your call, little girl" and shoots a mental bolt at her.
The trio trudged forward as they make their way to the bioship with Mia on Robin's back and Kaldur on a stretcher being pulled by Artemis and Wally. Soon they hear some trucks coming.
"Quick, over there" Robin orders and they hid behind a large rock with enough space for them to hide. Kaldur starts groaning and speaking in Atlantian. Artemis places her hand on his head to soothe him "Ssh. Kaldur'ahm, quiet now."
Robin places Mia leaning up against the rock and quickly looks over to count how many soldiers there were.
"We can't risk a firefight with Aqualad and Blink KOed like this" Robin states.
"It's not just them. I'm way out of juice" Wally comments.
"And I'm almost out of arrows" Artemis adds.
The duo looked around noticing that Robin disappeared.
"Ugh. I forgot how much I hate it when he does the ninja thing" Wally states then looks at Artemis, realizing something "Hey, you never said why your dad would want you to KTTTK! me."
"I got confused by some old movie I saw the other night. About a ninja girl whose ninja dad ordered her to kill her ninja boyfriend cause he was from a rival ninja clan" Artemis lied through her teeth. "Thank god Mia didn't hear this or I'll never hear the end of it."
"So, I'm your ninja boyfriend, huh?" a smug look formed on his face.
"Hey, amnesia, remember? Completely forgot how truly annoying you are."
"Oh, like you're the goddess of congeniality."
"Yeesh. Get a room. Blink would completely agree with me if she was awake" Robin states.
"Dude, where were you?"
"Breaking radio silence."
They hear a recording of Robin's laugh and saw smoke coming from a few meters behind them.
"That's our cue. Move!" Robin orders.
They made a run for it. Robin glances at Mia with concern. "Just hang in there Mia, we're almost at the bioship."
M'gann's struggling against Psimon's power.
"You have potential, but you're too raw, too untrained. And not at all in my league."
He fires another blast at her.
Back in the real world, M'gann and Psimon are locked in a psychic battle while one of the scientist waves his hand in front of Psimon's face but got no reaction.
"Hey, Mr. Psimon, are you all right?" he asks.
Soon objects started to float around and Superboy wakes up. He notices M'gann's form in camouflage mode, so he switches to infrared and could properly see M'gann. Superboy growls causing the EKG to beep and the sphere starts to spin like it was alive. The sphere spun so fast that it broke out of its confinement and breaks Superboy free. Superboy jumps towards Psimon to punch him but he hits a force field and is thrown back to M'gann. He touches her knee and his mind joins the battle.
M'gann looks happily at him. "You're here!"
Psimon laughs "You sound so relieved. Is that mindless creature supposed to save your mind?"
M'gann takes Superboy's head into her hands "No. I save his."
Soon Superboy remembers everything from being freed by Kaldur, Wally, Robin and Mia to pretty much up to now. Then a peculiar memory pops up at the end: M'gann was cleaning him up while blabbering like an idiot.
"So sorry. I should have paid more attention. It was too much at once. Too much at once. Heh. Hello, Megan. That's so me. I…"
After saving his mind, Superboy smiles at her.
"Kick his butt" and leaves.
"By all means. Kick my psychic butt" Psimon taunts.
The trio made it to the bioship and they set Mia and Kaldur onto examination tables. Robin sets up an IV drip for Kaldur while Wally does a standard check up on Mia. As he checks her pulse, he notices something odd. Wally places his ear on her chest to hear her heartbeat and his eyes widened. "No no no Mia, don't you die on us" he thought as he started CPR.
After the first set, he listens again and heard no heartbeat. "Damn it Mia, you can't do this to us. You're finally going to have a family. Uncle Barry and Aunt Iris are going to adopt you, we finally get to be related. Mia, don't leave us." Soon he hears her heartbeat and lets out a sigh of relief. Wally looks at her and brushes away her hair as a small smile forms on his face.
Superboy hears guns aiming at him and when he turned around, the sphere knocked the soldiers away.
"Uh, thanks?" he sounded so unsure.
More soldiers came in and he went to work.
Back in the psychic realm, M'gann's doing her best to take down Psimon but she's having a hard time doing so. After a few blocks, M'gann manages to punch him in the face. He makes himself bigger and shoots a mental blast at her which she dodges and multiplies herself. She hits him with a psychic blast but Psimon's just too powerful.
Superboy's easily taking down the soldiers then a tornado forms in the middle of the tent. Everything and everyone that were caught in the tornado were blown away and Superboy jumps in. When he reaches the eye of the tornado, he grabs her hand.
"M'gann!"
M'gann sees that Superboy was back and holding her hand.
"He's too strong."
"You're strong, and I'm stubborn. Together."
"Together" she looks at Psimon with determination "Get…out….of my head."
The combined forces of the duo was more than enough to overpower Psimon.
Psimon loses the battle and gets swept up by the tornado. Said tornado, blows the tent and equipment away while the couple were still in the eye of it. When M'gann faints and Superboy catches her was when the tornado disappears. The two were about to kiss but were interrupted when the sphere rolled over to them.
"Can I keep it?" Superboy asks like a kid finding a lost puppy.
Qurac
September 5, 02:32 EEST
"Hey, everybody. I've got Superboy. He's back to normal, and we're on our way."
Kaldur suddenly wakes up "Who are you, and how did you get inside my head?"
"Hello, Megan. Aqualad's memories! I knew I forgot something."
"Aw, man. Me, too. I didn't get a souvenir from the mission" Wally complains.
"Don't worry. Got the souvenir thing covered."
When M'gann and Superboy arrived with the sphere, they got strapped in and headed to the Cave quickly.
In an undisclosed location, Psimon has a meeting with the Light.
"The Martian girl escaped with both the sphere and the Superboy."
"That hardly matters. What matters is the successful test of our new partner's delivery system" a woman states. A video of the delivery system shows. "More tech will come, tech that will put the sphere, and perhaps the even the Superboy, to shame."
Mount Justice
September 5, 06:30 EDT
On the way to the Cave, Robin notifies Batman to get Manhunter to evaluate Mia's psyche. When they got there, she was immediately transferred to the Med Bay where Manhunter will do his best to help her. The others were told to wait outside and they hated it, especially Wally. Everyone had grim looks upon their faces while Wally looked like he was going to punch someone. He bounces his leg impatiently looking irritated.
"What's taking them so long?!"
"Wally, it's a delicate process when reading someone's mind. Uncle J'onn is doing his best" M'gann calmly states.
"How's he going to read her mind if neither of you can actually read it?!"
"Wally that is enough. Go calm your mind and we will notify you shall they finish" Kaldur suggests.
Wally lets out a huff and storms off. Artemis watches him leave then looks over to the others in confusion.
"What's his deal?"
Kaldur sighs "It seems that Wally has formed a familial bond with Mia. She was there with us at the beginning and I believe seeing her like this...pains him."
"Have you ever noticed how they act around each other?" Robin asks.
"Sure. They fight more than Wally and I do" Artemis states.
"You'd think they hate each other but they don't. If Mia was a redhead and had green eyes, she could practically be his twin. They treat each other like they're family and that's why he's worried."
Artemis looks down and a frown appears. After what felt like hours, the doors finally opened to reveal Batman, Manhunter, and Canary walking out to speak to them. Wally zooms in and practically demands "How is she?!"
Kaldur pulls him back a little to allow Manhunter to explain.
"She will be fine. Apparently her mind is guarded by various mental barriers which explains why M'gann and I could not read her mind."
"Do you know who did it?" Robin asks.
"I do not but whoever this person is, seems to be a very powerful telepath."
"Is she awake?" M'gann wonders.
"For now she must rest. Her mind has been through too much from the mission and it seems as though the barriers are repairing themselves in order to continue protecting her mind. She shall wake when the time comes."
"Can we see her?" Artemis asks.
This time Canary answers "For a few minutes then she needs to rest."
They walked in to see Mia sleeping peacefully. All of them just stood around watching her and had a psychic conversation.
"We were able to remember Mia and yet nothing else. Why is that?" Robin wonders.
"Maybe it's because Mia has such a large influence on us that we could never truly forget about her" M'gann suggests.
"If she's supposed to be fine then why did her heart stop back in Qurac?" Wally demanded.
"It could've been from the stress her mind went through causing her heart to stop" Artemis says. (A/N: I don't know any medical conditions...so just let it go XD)
They were silent after Artemis' statement and soon started to leave. The only one who didn't leave just yet was Wally and he was having a hard time leaving. He squeezes her hand and turned to leave but stopped when he felt her hand squeeze his hand back. Looking back, Wally smiles at the gesture and thought that she was waking up but she was still sleeping. "Come on Mia, you got this" he whispers then places a kiss on her head and leaves her room.
