Artemis' POV
I put on my old costume, I was Tigress once again and I seemed vengeance. My hair was pulled up into a ponytail and as I looked in the mirror I saw a vision of a boy. He had red hair and beautiful green eyes that made me wonder who he is and what this vision means. His eyes... So green... So familiar almost like they felt like home...
"Hey, babe." those words didn't sound comforting though. They sounded cold, almost forced. I herd those words before, and they sounded like kisses given by snowflakes in the pale moonlight. This was too, weird. The boy, no, man with the green eyes was so real and Icicle Jr. felt like a game of pretend.
"Hi, what's the assignment?" my voice, roboticly spoke to him. My body stiff and my eyes watching his every move in my mirror.
"I don't bit, kitten, your safe with me." he whispered in my ear, his fingers running up and down my arm lightly. "You don't have to be afraid of me. You can stop trying to hunt me and just relax." he coolly spoke, chills run up my body. The frost was spreading and turning my ears blue, then my lips, then-
"STOP IT!!!" one voice cried
"GET AWAY FROM HER" an other, slowly the room was spinning and then black.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up, strapped down. Damn it felt like Gotham Knights all over again. What, why was I in Gotham? The bloody hell is going on here? My eyes darted around the room; computers and chairs in cubicles with samples of what looked like blood in viles on the desks, pens scattered, and post-it note all over the place.
"Well, look, the experiment has woken. What a sight." a male voice spoke in the dark. Another, more wimpy boy, shined a light in my eyes. I just kept my mouth shut and waited for their next move.
"Dr., she seems to be studying us. Why would the subject care of our moves?" the boy asked the doctor. He seemed not to understand humans, so these are not of Earth? Where the heck am I?
"Excellent observation Billy. For all we know she could be a creature of fear origin. Place the Cure in a needle and poke it into her for-arm." What the hell is Billy and Dr. Poke-Her doing with me? I'm not a first place science experiment if that's what they are after. "Don't worry dear, Billy is a professional, you are in good hands. Were here to help you." he smiled, I assume, they still keep their faces hidden.
"What do I need help with, sir?" whoa, first time I spoke and was polite? Bloody hell, I was just kidnapped by aliens and I called the lead doctor sir?
"Oh dear, they didn't tell you?" I shook me head- who was they? "Not even the Batman?" again my face showed no understanding.
"Dr., maybe she has no clue? Her brain shows no sign of understanding." Billy said as if he didn't just read my description of this horror. Kidnapped by aliens. Wait, would this have to do with the dreams of the boy with the red hair? Or other teens like me with powers and abilities?
"Ok, thank you. You can go, I want to tell her, alone." and with that Billy did a slight bow and left. The doctor waited until he was out of the room to undo the wraps.
"I'm sorry for this dear but I have to put this in your arm. It will help explain everything." I nodded and winced as the needle went into my arm. Slowly my mind cleared and formed memories that made my mind feel less empty. "Better?" the doctor asked.
"Much, but this just fills in a year and a half of my life- not tell why I know nothing of these powers?" I told him as he walked out of the dark and morphed into a green being... Martian Manhunter.
"Sorry for the scare, it's just safer if the spell allowed them to read your thoughts, Artemis." he told me with that quite voice.
"So, Billy was... Shazam?" he nodded. "And you wanted them to think that I was lost in space and that no one had told me of the powers?" once again he nodded. "But-" he cut me off.
"But we didn't, and you don't want them, am I right?" this time I nodded. He frowned. "Powers aren't that bad, they are only a burden if you don't know how to use them." that made me snap.
"No!!! Robin and I are the duo, the no powers club. I don't want them, I don't need them." at the time of my out burst I didn't see the computer set of fire. Only did I notice when Manhunter dropped a little to the ground. "I'm... I'm..."
"I know..." and with that he smiled and took care of my... incident.
"Wally would like to see her." the intercom came on with Batman's reluctant voice.
