The alarm by his bed was blaring at him, and he slapped the off button. His body felt like lead as if he had been using energy instead of resting. Robin struggled up to a sitting position and felt completely drained. After struggling out of bed and into clean clothes he made his way to school. The day seemed to drag its feet. All he could think of was his dream and the girl named Bard. Finally the bell rang and Robin made his way to the hideout via boom tube.

He sat at a desk and plugged in the flash drive with his three files on it. Pulling up Alexandra's file he scanned it again. It was just her and her parents and yet he was sure she was somehow connected to all of this. He wasn't sure how long he was staring at the file when Wally came into the room, a half eaten sandwich in his hands.

"Hey, Rob," he said through a mouthful of food then paused and looked at the picture on the screen. "Why you looking at Alex?"

Robin whirled around and stared at Wally. The shock of hearing him say he knew Alexandra momentarily stunned him. Momentarily.

"You know her?"

Wally looked confused.

"Not as well as you do."

Now was Robin's turn to be confused. He didn't know her, did he?

"No, I don't."

Wally narrowed his eyes at Robin.

"Rob, I met her at your house. Her and her older sister."

Robin blinked. Was Wally pulling his leg. The look on his friend's face told him no, he wasn't. Then Robin realized something even more important in Wally's words.

"She doesn't have an older sister." Robin whirled back to the computer his fingers flying over the keyboard. He pulled up the family records. Nothing there suggested there was another child. "KF, There is no record of a second child. No birth certificate, no medical bills, nothing."

Wally shrugged and took another big bite of his sandwich.

"All I know is, she has an older sister." He paused to swallow his mouthful of food "I actually thought there was something between you and the older sister."

That made Robin glance back at his friend. Wally was looking at him curiously.

"I don't remember her at all," He rubbed the back of his head. "I think I need to pay Alexandra a visit."

Wally watched him with great concern.

"Want me to come with?"

Robin considered him for a moment then nodded; probably better that he take back up just in case.

"That may be a good idea, but let's go civilian."

Both Robin and Kid Flash hung up their capes and suits for jeans, t-shirts, and jackets. They met at the zeta tubes right after changing.

"You have the address?"

Robin nodded and pulled the GPS on his watch pointing to a house in an average neighborhood. They traveled back to Gotham and made their way to the location on the map. The house was a plain two story building. It was in good condition and obviously well cared for. The grass was cut and the flowers along the path up to the front door were well tended to. They walked up to the small front porch and rang the doorbell. Footsteps echoed from inside the house and the door opened. A woman stood there. She was tall, and had thick coppery hair streaked with some gray; she had it tied back in a lose braid. The woman wore a simple light purple cotton shirt and faded blue jeans.

"Yes, can I help you boys?" There was no flash of recognition in her eyes like Robin expected, but she also didn't seem nervous like she was hiding something.

"Yes, we are friends of Alex's. Is she around?"

The woman smiled and nodded stepping back to let them enter. When they entered they saw the house was decorated tastefully in neutral colors and nice wood furniture. Pictures hung on the on the walls going upstairs and on the fire place mantel. In them they saw only Alexandra, and her parents. Robin noted several spots that at one point had pictures, but they had since been removed. Alexandra's mother led them into a cozy kitchen area that had back door leading out to fenced in yard area.

"She's in her studio." The woman indicated the large shed at the back of the well-kept garden. Both boys nodded their thanks and followed the flagstone path that wound up to the make shift studio. Robin knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Wally just shrugged and motioned for him to go on. When they open the door there was a strong smell of paint wafted outward at them. Both heroes stared opened mouth at the all the art that filled the small space. Floor to ceiling the room was covered with different art pieces. Each piece was more beautiful than the last. There were lots of exotic landscapes painted in both water color and acrylic paints. Then they noticed the sketch books strewn across the floor, all of them filled with detailed drawings of women in brilliant costumes, doing daring deeds, or using some kind of power. Then they noticed the floor. It was cement and covered with a giant mural done in chalk of two young girls. This one had been carefully sealed so it would remain a permanent work of art. Robin studied the two girl's; one was clearly Alexandra, the other could only be her sister.

Robin and Kid Flash's gaze traveled to the back of the studio. There was a shelf of note books, journals, and binders that spanned the entire width of the room. Under the shelf was a desk and an easel with a stool in front of it; a half finished painting sitting on the easel. It depicted Robin and Wally staring open mouthed in the very room they now stood in. Unease slithered through Robin as he caught glimpses of some darker pieces of art work.

But no Alexandra.

A sudden snarl of rage had both boys eyes flash up at the ceiling as a wild haired woman dropped down from the rafters. She pinned Robin to the floor and her hands wrapped around his throat and squeezed with enough force to cut off his air supply. Kid Flash dragged her off Robin who got to his feet gasping and coughing. The girl who attacked him bore a striking resemblance to Alexandra, but her hair was the color of a Raven's wings and her eyes glowed purple. Robin noted she looked exactly like a painting hanging near the easel. Though around the woman in the painting was also lightning, water, air, fire, and earth. The girl didn't struggle in Wally's grasp only stood there glaring at Robin with such venomous rage.

Robin remembered what Bard had said about being able to change her body with the different people she became. Briefly he wondered if Alexandra could be Bard. After a moment he discarded that thought. Bard had showed him nothing but kindness, where Alexandra seemed to being making an actual effort to kill him.

"Alexandra," Robin held up his hands to show her he was unarmed and meant her no harm. "I want to talk to you about your sister."

"Don't," she snapped at him. "You don't deserve to speak of her! You left her! She died because of you! You have no right to speak of her, to me, or to anyone!" Lightning crackled dangerously around her and Wally, but Alexandra's eyes were fixed solely on Robin. Electricity danced ever closer to Robin without harming Wally or herself.

"What do you mean?" His heart did an odd flip.

Her anger seemed to jump up another notch, insanity flickered in her cold gaze as she shrieked, "I saw it! You left her there! Like a piece of garbage!" With each of her accusations Robin felt his heart sink and shatter. "You let them take her from us! She cared for you! She loved you!" Alexandra's whole body shook with sobs as she spat the words at him. She sank to her knees and copper gold washed through raven colored hair; the color turning back to her normal color. "She died for you, and you, you have the nerve to come here? After all this time?" Her whole body shook as she sobbed the last few words. "You let them make you forget her."

Wally glanced between Alexandra and Robin who was wiping tears from his face.

"What do you mean they made him forget her," asked Wally dragging Alexandra up to her feet. Her face was red and blotchy from her tears.

"Everyone forgot my sister. Even him," she snarled at Wally. "I know she existed, but everyone else doesn't remember or doesn't want to. Like him." Alexandra turned and aimed a vicious kick to Robin's ribs sending him doubling over in pain. Wally picked her up with one arm and dragged her away from Robin making sure to keep his body between Robin and Alexandra. She was crying and looking down at the painting of her and her sister.

"You okay Rob?"

Robin coughed and waved him off. He walked up to Alexandra and knelt down in front of her so he could keep eye contact with her.

"Who made me forget," Robin demanded.

Alexandra sniffed and wailed, "The ones who killed her!" She began rocking herself back and forth. Robin hugged her tightly, needing to give her some form of comfort. Looking around he realized something was not right here. He took notice of all the artwork and one thing stood out to him; Alexandra was a steady natured person who wouldn't have attacked him like she had. The fact that she was actively avoiding hurting Wally was proof of that, but the pain she was in was affecting her interactions with him.

"We will find them. I swear."

All Alexandra did was rock back and forth, her whole body shuddering from sobs she was trying to hold in.

"But we need your help, will you help us?"

Wally glanced between the two of them, and mouthed, Miss M?

Robin nodded over the girl's head. Wally stepped out of the room and called for Miss Martian and the bioship. Robin moved Alexandra to the stool beside her easel.
