"Help!"
"Danielle!"
A bright white light almost blinded me. I heard screams and explosions. "Kill them all!"
"No!" I yelled and I couldn't see anything. "Dani! Help!"
Someone is shaking me hard. I open my eyes and saw a young boy with a domino mask and has a raven hair. He is wearing a weird costume with a sign of R on the left pocket.
"Are you okay?" He asked. Who is this boy?
"Ah—" He clasped my mouth and we heard a truck approaching. He grabbed my arms and we leaped on the top of the rock.
We both looked and they are soldiers with guns. Finally, he let go. "What was that? And who the heck are you? Where am I?"
"Relax." He opened his holographic computer and typed something. "Those are Bialyan Republic Army Uniforms."
"So?" I asked, still coping up with the headache and the mouth clasping. I also noticed myself that I am wearing a silly costume like him. I have my own domino mask, knee length dark green combat boots, black skirt, sleeveless black and green shirt with dark green arms. What the heck am I wearing?
"Why am I wearing this? And what is this?" I asked, holding out my bag in my waist.
"Don't know." He says, still typing in his computer. "But what are the Bialyans doing in uh, Bialya?
I looked around and this is not the place where I remembered. We are in a desert and I'm stuck with this boy who wears a stupid costume like me.
"Maybe I've gone crazy. Super nuts." I say, rubbing my temples. "A dream that is."
"Better question, what am I doing in Bialya?" His eyes went big as he see in his holographic computer. "In September? What happened to March?"
I looked at him and can't believe that I listened to him. "So where in a place called Bialya and we can't remember anything that happened to us but we can remember a small details for the past months except this."
He nods. "Better radio Batman." Then he hesitates. "Or not."
"Why?" I asked.
"I remembered Batman said maintained radio silence at all times."
"Maybe this place is filled with something radar that can intercept radio signals."
"Maybe. Come on." He looked down and jumped. He landed and looked around. "No one's around."
I take a look and close my eyes. I opened it and I am on the ground with him. "Cool, I can still remember how to teleport."
He walked forward and found something. It's a black cloth with an S in it. "What is it?"
He handed me the cloth and it is familiar. My head starts to spin, and I could feel a strong pair of hands catching me.
"Are you sure this is the right way, Robin?" I say, running to catch up with him. Thankfully I can remember a few details in my life. My name is Polaris actually Dani and Mr. Domino mask here is Robin, the boy wonder. When I passed out, it gave me visions of our friends but not what were after.
Robin is running fast, still showing his holographic screen. "Wish I could remember why I put a gps marker here."
I catch up to him and he grabbed my arms and we hide. "Huh. Guessing that's why."
Since it's dark here in the desert and cold, I summoned my energy balls. But Robin swayed it, "Don't."
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. He takes a look and went to it. Great, he should have warned me.
I walked closer and appeared two bialyan soldiers saying something I can't make out. Rob winks and drops the smoke bomb.
I smirked and the men attacked us. A soldier appeared in front of me and I punched his face and grab his arm. More appeared and they shoot at me.
I stopped the bullets and telekinetically pushed them. A couple more appeared and I shoot them with my white energy balls.
But Robin knocked more than I did. Three men start shooting him and someone takes their guns. Since they are defenceless, I shoot some with my energy balls but someone did take them out.
"KF!" Robin says, giving high five to Kid Flash at least there is still someone that I remembered. Miss Martian appeared with Artemis.
"Polaris!" Megan says and hugged me.
"Hey, Rob. Memory loss?" Kid asks.
"6 months. Let's hogtie these creeps and compare notes." He suggested.
"I got that covered." My eyes glowed and I telekinetically tie them. Robin gives a final tie and we gather around.
Megan explained what happened to us and who are we. She explained that we are a team including a guy named Superboy.
"So we're a team?" Robin asks.
I crossed my arms and try to gather some info. "The 4 of us and Superboy."
Robin showed the cloth. "Then this must be his."
She takes it. "Yes! Did you see him?"
"I think we did." Artemis says, looking at Kid.
Kid rubs his chin. "Feral boy? Some teammate. He attacked us."
"Maybe he lost his memories too? Just like us." I say.
"He didn't know who we are." Artemis says. "I don't know who we are."
"I remember Batman ordering radio silence." Robin says. "Our team must be working for him."
I smirked. "Lucky Batman. He knows how to pick some team."
"How do you know we don't work for my mentor?" Kid touches his chest and his costume changed color yellow. "Whoa. This is so cool."
He kept on touching it which is kinda annoying. Robin and Artemis touches their symbols and their costume did not change. "We look ridiculous!" Artemis says and still Kid kept on touching.
"Quit touching yourself." Artemis scolded Kid and turns to Megan. "We need our memories back."
Wait, what? Then Megan's eyes turn white and we were in a weird place. And it has some videos with our faces in it.
We glanced at each other and Artemis shrugged. Megan appeared in front of us, "I brought you to my mind to share what I've remembered so far but I need your help."
She continued, "Together, our broken memories can form a whole, if you open your minds to mine."
I was about to object but Artemis beat me to it, "You want to paw our private thoughts?"
"I have no wish to intrude—" She held her hands in the air.
"-We need to hack into our minds to grok what happened to us." Robin continued. "Got it. Go."
"My brains all yours. Try not to let its brilliance overwhelm you." Kid says.
"Or underwhelm you." Robin said.
I don't want them to go through my mind. They will know about my broken memories and those voices that I heard earlier. I don't want that.
A hand stopped my thoughts. "It's okay, Dani." Robin said. He holds my hand.
"Last 6 months only." Artemis said. Megan nods and a hand holds my head.
A vision shows Batman briefing us with our mission. He explained mysterious sightings and Queen Bee. Then it changes where we make it to the desert in the Bialya. Some showed the Bialyans in their camp. Superboy was carrying something weird and we were linked telekinetically. Then it showed Aqualad giving orders to us.
We stopped. "Aqualad!"
Suddenly, Bialyan men appeared attacking us and some of them put some collar in my neck and it produces electricity.
"Ahh!" I yelled.
"Polaris!" I heard robin yelled and I was out.
I woke up with a lot of noises around me. I was in a camp with scientist and they are testing a sphere. It seems that the sphere is screaming and they seemed to be torturing it.
I try to move but I am trapped. My hands are handcuffed and also my feet. I looked around and saw Superboy yelling. He is also in the same condition as the sphere.
Two scientist approached, "She's awake. Test her with electric shocks to test her abilities." A bolt of sharp pain attacks my body and I yelled.
"Ahh!" They stopped and I breathed heavily. "Raise it to maximum level." I heard a scientist said and Superboy is screaming again.
"Drain the girl's energy." Someone said and I couldn't see anything. The sphere seemed to move and it reacts to what they have done to Superboy and me.
They typed something and I could feel my limbs go numb. "Stop!" Superboy said.
They inserted something in my arms and I could feel my energy is leaving my body. "No." I say weakly.
Things start to float around us. "What's happening?" I heard one of the scientist said. Thankfully they stopped.
The heart rate monitor beeps and the sphere's chains were broken. It went to Superboy and set him free. Superboy leaped out and he went to me, destroying the chains in my wrist and legs.
I fell on the ground but sphere got me. Superboy leaps and tries to attack someone that I cannot see. But he tumbled out.
A couple of Bialyans came in. "Protect her." Supes said to the sphere and it attacks them.
Since I'm too weak, I can't stand but I crawled just to get myself out of here. Two soldiers appeared in front of me and the sphere pushed them away.
"Thanks." I said. Superboy attacked some soldiers and I could feel megan needs help.
"She needs help." I say to him. He looks at her and went to her aid.
Suddenly the place got destroyed and Megan is in Superboy's arms. So sweet. I lay on the ground, breathing heavily.
I looked at them and they were about to kiss but the sphere interrupt them. "Dani!" Megan says and she went to me. "You're energy is drain."
"Its okay." I say and smile to them. "So you guys huh?"
They blushed and Superboy carried me. "We have to find the others." Megan said and he nod. "Guess he's coming with us."
Sphere eventually followed and we make our way to find the ship.
"I'll just sleep." I closed my eyes and letting my dream take over.
Don't forget to review! :)
