(M'gann's POV) (Angel's mind)
When I dove into Angel's mind the normal doors seemed to unlock as I approached them. Going through the doors I saw many of the open ones that showed scenes from parts of her life. Then other doors were completely shut with chains over them.
"Her locked up memories," I said to no one in particular.
"Angel where are you?" I shouted continuously. Finally, after looking for a while one door started to glow, I decided to investigate and as I walked in the door, I saw a girl…no I saw two girls and both looked like Angel. Though one looked very different from the one we knew. The different one had red eyes and black wings with a leather jacket and a black tank. Then she had black jeans and high heels. It was opposite from the other who I knew to be the Angel I knew. She had a white draped flowing top whose sleeves were draped with white lining followed by white jeans. Finally, with fingerless gloves and white boots. Then there were her wings which were a white-bluish color the only thing that they had in common was that they both looked sad. Eventually the Angel look-alike faded leaving just one of them and myself in the room.
"Who was that?" I asked.
"Me, another half of myself, one I don't know yet exists. However, we should be one," she said and then faded away.
"Angel," I said searching for her. Then a gust of wind sent me flying outside of the door and into another door. I found Angel starring at a scene with a family.
"Papa! Papa! I did it!" said a little girl.
"Is that you Ange" I asked watching the scene.
She nodded, "It's a memory that I recently got back"
"*%&^- my sweet girl you'll become such a great gymnast, I can see your name in lights," said the overly excited father.
"I didn't catch the name," I said.
"Precautions were taken to make it almost impossible to attain my real name," she said sternly.
"Honey, you are such a doting father. It's so adorable," said Ange's Mother
"Oh Angelique, don't you know that I always dot over the two loves of my life," said her father.
The scene then stopped.
"What happened?" I asked.
"That's all I can remember, I've only obtained bits and pieces of my memory. But I am also remembering terrible times more vividly." Said Angel fading. Again I was pushed out of the old door and into the new door.
Angel was not there but the scene started.
"*%&^- my darling you need to have more fun and lighten up, or else you'll never enjoy life," said the Joker. I noticed that the younger version of Angel was carrying weights on her feet. 25lb weights were seen on each leg.
The other Angel then appeared.
"Why are you here?" I inquired.
"I'm also Angel, I'm the side that can handle such events, and a side that will be shown one day," said the Red Angel emotionless. I turned and continued watching the scene.
"PATHETIC! *%&^ you need to learn to deal with such trivial pain," said Joker as he repeatedly hit Angel with a crowbar.
"As long as I stay myself you won't break me. you bastard," Angel shouted
"Hey there's the feistiness I like to hear," he said and with the scene ended.
Again, I was pulled from the door but this time I was pulled to one particular door.
"I stood up and stared at this door, it was different from the rest of the doors that I had seen. It was a dark red color and I smelled lead from the other side of the door. I stood there but finally decided to reach for the door knob, only to be stopped by a hand grabbing mine gently.
"You can't go in there M'gann," said the White Ange.
"What? Why?" I asked confused by why she suddenly wanted me to stop.
"Because that door is super sad, we don't want to see it anymore," said the Black Ange.
"Why? What is behind that door?" I asked, I knew this was the door that was keeping Ange in a coma.
"That door shows how we lost our life, our innocence, and would lead to today's events," said the Black Ange.
"We don't want to keep watching it over and over," said the White Ange.
"Ange don't you want to come see your friends again," she said gently placing a hand on each girls shoulder.
They nodded
(I forget she is younger than I am, because she acts so much older. I forget she's only 14.)
"Ange why does this scare you so bad?" I asked them both.
"Go into the room-" said the Red one
"And see for yourself, what memory we keep repeating. Then," said the white one
"tell me why I don't cry, yet cry. Don't feel anything and then feel everything," said the black one.
Then they both faded and the door opened wide open and then I stepped in.
As I stepped in the first thing I did was step into something red, and realized quickly what I stepped in. Blood. I watched the memory Ange kept reliving. My heart was breaking for her. The death of her mother and the confusion she must of felt running down the hall with her father. The death of her father. I started to cry for her sake. Finally, the memory ended and the two Angels appeared. Each one was crying out of one eye yet neither were showing emotion. I finally understood. As I stepped closer both Angel's disappeared and the real Angel in her civilian's clothes was standing there.
"It's okay to feel helpless and mad. Be mad that they left you all alone and that you had to go through everything. It's okay that you still don't remember them, it is okay," was all I could say as I wrapped her up in a hug.
"Joker did all of this," was all she said and then she continued, "as much as I am mad at my parents for leaving me alone. I hate Joker and I want nothing more than to-to-to," Ange was shivering in rage and pain.
"Kill him?" I finished she nodded and then burst into tears and collapsed onto the floor.
"You aren't capable of killing him, you're too strong for that. You've been through so much and yet you keep on trying. Now you've gained a traumatizing memory, of course you would shut down," I said gently and she continued to cry. We sat there for a while until her hiccups slowly left and silence filled the air.
"We should return home soon, you've got two people worried sick about you," I said helping her to her feet.
"Who?" she asked
"Robin hasn't left your side since he found you, and even Conner refused to leave," I said
She blushed so bad that even her ears were turning red.
"So you and Robin kiss yet?" barely containing myself.
She nodded continuously.
"No no no no no no, I couldn't possibly, at least not until I'm sure of some things," she said twirling her fingers embarrassed.
She composed herself and then continued, "But I'm surprised at Conner a bit, I mean there is no attraction between us, I mean you two are together." She said and this time I was the one to go red.
She giggled, "I thought it was obvious you two were dating."
"We are, but I think he has learned to be protective of his best friend," I said stating the obvious. She nodded with a smile. "He became mine as well,"
"Hello Megan, Well should we get going, the team is going be worried. So why don't you and I walk out of here together," I said
Ange suddenly faded to my surprise and the other two appeared.
"This is only one trial she has faced," said the white one
"She will soon go through harder trials," said the black one.
"Also you have seen me," said the white one
"But not me in the physical world, for she is not fully aware of my yet," explained the black one.
"Try to avoid speaking about us, if possible to her," said the white one
"But do not try to hide it if she asks," said the black one. Then a light enveloped the three of us and I was sent back to my body.
Maya's POV (Real World)
I woke up and found myself unsure of where I was, so I felt for my glasses to find them on my face. I sighed in relief and then opened my eyes to find 3 people standing over me.
Robin, Conner, and Kald'r
"You are awake," said Kald'r relieved
"After M'gann came back you slept for another 3 days, so we got worried," said Conner explaining what happened.
"I'll have to thank her when I see her, and I also have to thank you Robin, for getting me," I said looking at him.
"I will always find you," he said serious yet gentle,
I blushed a bit, then composed myself.
"So, is everyone going to stand at the door?" I said hearing breathing behind the door.
Suddenly the door burst open and everyone came in.
Wally, Artemis, M'gann, Wolf, and Zatanna sat near the wall all embarrassed a bit. I even noticed Roy behind them. I smiled my friends were here at least.
