Chapter 35 - 35. Memories

(POV Josh)

'Where am I?'

After being put down I seemed to wake up like I did when I was in my new body thankfully that hadn't happened again and this time I think I might be in my brain.

It was a euphoria of colors of different hues of lights blessing my eyes.

But something did take my attention was the images of people. Fighting, hanging out, and goofing off with each other. The weird part I was in them yet I don't remember.

"Are these My Memories?"

"They are."

At first, I was crazy but when I looked to the source of the voice I saw nothing I began thinking my life was getting even more complicated than before.

"Right here."

I looked up finding something I could only describe as a demon. A pure white creature stood over me with nothing facially seen except for a smile that was branded across its face.

The weirdest part was that this smile would've been a frown if he stood upright. The teeth shown seemed Sharklike and a long tongue seemed to pop out with every word it spoke.

"What are you?"

I asked as I stared at this creature of untold horror.

"Oh? You can just call me the Upside-Down man. Pleasure to meet ya."

(POV General)

Miss Martian currently found herself in a situation where she needed to solve what would be the missing six months worth of memories she seemed to have lost.

Currently, to remedy her problem M'gann was levitating in a meditation-like posture focusing her psychic abilities to herself.

Inside her mind, M'gann like Josh earlier found herself inside a euphoria of colors and the same sequence of memories in picture-like form.

M'gann still meditating inside her mind focused on her memories and then from the outside world. M'gann's eyes flew a white light as she reintroduced herself to her past.

Through the picture-like frame of each memory, M'gann expresses emotions she hadn't thought she'd enjoy.

Finding memories of her teammates and her time with SuperBoy.

"I'm on a team!"

M'gann happily cheered as she remembered most of her memories but a patch was still missing.

"I could likely fix my memory with the help of everyone else."

M'gann broke her posture and took flight throughout the desert in search of her teammates through her Psychic link.

Artemis and Kid safely hid themselves away thanks to the cover of the raging SuperBoy ripping the tanks up like unwanted toys.

Through the raging Artemis pulled Kid Flash away from the distraction trying to get away from the attack.

SuperBoy on the other hand was ripping anything and everything he could grab until one Bialyaian solider threw a rope over SuperBoy's right arm.

Following their fellow soldiers' lead more and more soldiers were throwing their ropes struggling to keep the SuperBoy in place until Psimon came.

the man from before whose dark hood revealed a brain covered by a clear shell and white stripes across it connecting to his skin.

"Can't you do something!?"

One of the lead scientists who was out trying to find the source of a signal he found traveled with some soldiers unknown to him that'd he'd run into three Superpowered teens.

"It's difficult due to the mind being all most nothing. But…"

Psimon dragged on his last sentence and raised his right hand to SuperBoy in a similar way to how he handled Shift and spoke psychically into SuperBoy's mind.

"Psimon says Still."

At the command of Psimon SuperBoy's raging roars stopped nothing but silence was soon heard and no fighting back like before happened.

The soldiers thought on their feet tying the SuperBoy quickly before Psimon's control wavered capturing the SuperBoy.

Psimon simply scoffed at the sight of the SuperBoy and walked to the Jeep both he and the head scientist used to travel this far giving a command.

"Let's return now."

The soldiers swiftly lifted the SuperBoy placing him inside the Jeep next to Psimon in case he gets out of control again.

Soon nightfall came and SuperBoy was brought to the lab Shift was inside.

On the outside was a huge tent while inside told a different story. Herds of scientists were observing two irregularities one being Shift and his watch and the other. A steel Sphere that rolled around inside its cage being electrocuted with each movement.

SuperBoy to the sight of this retained absolute calmness and was walked to another contraption like Shift's and was strapped to it.

Psimon saw no need to continue the charade and released SuperBoy's mind.

SuperBoy woke up as if it were a dream finding only for it to turn into a nightmare with the screaming of Shift to his right and the pain he'd soon feel from the doctors controlling the table in front of him.

"Bring it to dial three."

One Scientist who came to observe the SuperBoy spoke first while another simply nodded turning the dial and incurring SuperBoy's screams.

Shift who was still sleeping erupted in screams of pain at first but over time the pain became natural and so it slowly felt normal.

While this was happening both Artemis and Kid were running away until Kid couldn't run anymore placing Artemis down and checking his right arm compartment for a snack only to be disappointed by it being empty.

"We've been here for over twenty-four hours?"

Kid sounded both sure of himself as well as confused. The compartment he had opened was his snack bar essentially giving him the ability to feed his endless metabolism which if not carefully given could prove life-threatening.

Artemis was going to ask him what he meant but was stopped by the sounds of gunfire coming from above them.

"Get down!!"

Kid acted brashly pushing Artemis and himself down into the sand dodging the furring turrets from the planes.

Once the planes passed them Artemis began firing arrows at them as Kid ran away with her slowing down with each step.

-I'm almost there. Wait just a moment longer.-

A voice echoed inside Artemis's head and in doing so ruined her shot missing the plane entirely. But that's not what bothered her.

"Did you just hear a girl inside your head?"

Kid confused by Artemis question simply spoke with his usual quips saying.

"Girls are always on my mind. But they aren't usually talking."

Kid was distracted for that briefest moment and was taken as Kid had somehow twice in one day trip over the rocks in the sand dropping Artemis.

As they hit the ground the planes continued their onslaught of gunfire until both planes were suddenly hit together creating a huge explosion.

Artemis and Kid looked to the sky confused at the sight of a green-skinned woman flying towards them after destroying the planes.

After standing Kid had a better look at M'gann and said with worry.

"Look J'ohnn I don't see the Manhunter vibes from this outfit if you catch my drift?"

"Oh, you know about my Uncle. Ah Hello Megan, it's because you're Kid Flash, Wally and you're Artemis."

M'gann to focused on the fact of her Uncle and finding her teammates couldn't see the confusion and conflicted emotions coming off their faces.

"Wait. Wait. Martian Manhunter's your Uncle?"

"Your name is Wally?"

Artemis was the first to act asking a question to Kid who just groaned about it until M'gann spoke.

"It's okay we're on a team. I'll fill you in as we go."

Both parties still looked confused but followed M'gann wanting to know answers.
