   When I awoke the second time it was once again in a dark room. Streching slightly I flopped over on my right and my hand came into contact with something else. A muffled 'oof!' was heard and that was all it took. Leaping up I grabbed the nearest thing to me which looked like a clock and I began to flail around everywhere. "Ouch! Hey! Cut it out!"A female voice whined. Then the door burst open and lights were flipped on. Pain surged into my eyesockets as I was momentarily blinded. However once I adjusted to the light I looked around and saw a girl a few years older than me. Wavy blue hair was set in a bob cut style and metallic pink eyes were what my eyes immediately noticed. Apparently she wasn't much of a girly girl with her baggy cargo pants and tank top. She smiled at me when she noticed me staring, "Yo. what's up?"She asked while making a peace sign.

   My face went blank and I immediately wondered if everyone here was flamboyant or somewhat studpid. "Hey. Hey. Hey! Wakey wakey!" The girl said as she prodded my face and ripped me from my throught.

"What?"

"I dunno, you got all glassy eyed so I was bringin you back to reality."

"Hn..."

   This girl was gonna drive me up a wall. I knew it for certain. And if she didn't, I knew one of these days Spencer would. Looking over to the door I saw Flint and Hodge standing there looking alarmed. "Are you guys...alright?"Hodge asked. "We're girls! And yes we're fine!"The girl snapped as she turned to them. "We were more worried about Beckett than you Rhiannon! No one cares about you!"Flint retored.

"No one cares about you either, One-Eye!"

"Nice comeback Bluey, I'll never recover."

"Shut up you asshole! I just woke up! How can I insult you properly if I haven't had my beauty sleep?"

"You're gonna need alot more rest to get beautiful Sunshine."

"Come ere you!"

   I watched those two go at it with moot interest until they began to scrap on the floor right in front of me. As they got closer to me two strong arms yanked me out of the way. "Careful, you don't want to get in the middle of those two while they're at it. They'll take your arm off."Hodge whispered into my ears. I nodded and watched them, "Thanks for the tip, but I don't plan on staying."I said. Suddenly both Flint and Rhiannon stopped fighting and looked at me. "What?!"They both called. "I'm. Not. Staying." I said stressing each word. They just continued to stare, I was beginning to wonder if they were understanding me.

   "Let me go!"I roared as I was picked up by my hands and feet. "No!"Flint and Rhiannon called back childishly. "When I get my hands on you two you're dead!"I called. They both snicker and continue to take me down the hallways of HQ. I could tell by the route that we were going to  Spencer's office. "Yo Boss man!"Rhiannon called as she kicked the door open. What we saw was somewhat strange. Sitting there at his desk was Spencer, but he was upside down. "Yes?" He asked as he straightened himself. "Um... ok then. Beckett here said that she wants to leave the organization." Rhia said. "I was never apart of it!"I snapped. They ignored me however and that in itself was not a good thing. "Put her down."Spencer ordered. They released me and Spencer motioned for them to wait outside.

   I heard the door close and I looked at Spencer. "So can I leave?"I asked. Spencer shrugged as he turned back to the window and looked out over the city. "I just figured that you'd want to remember everything... but if you don't I understand."He sighed. I growled and narrowed my eyes. All he was doing was toying with me and this game was certainly getting old. "So if I did stay what would be the first step to getting my memories back? Assuming that what you told me was true."

"Well we would send you first to the remains of the place where you fought Slade."

"You're not telling me everything. So I will tell you this right now. Unless you are up front with me on this I can't help you so you better tell me everything."

"We also would like you to look for the Reactor Core. Since you were the one to throw it away in theory you should be able to locate it again."

   I nodded at Spencer. I was curious because of those flashbacks and that I had almost no recollection of them. What kind of person was I like? I also wanted to know why I have memories of a normal life that are at the same time of the battle with Slade. It seemed that if I really wanted answers I would have to go and get them myself. "Alright. I'll try but I make no promises." I finally agreed. Spencer's face lit up and he clapped like a delighted child, "Wonderful! I'll send you with Rhia, Flint, and Hodge immediately!" My face became blank at his eagerness. Did this man take happy pills or something in his coffee? I headded toward the door and was almost out, "And by the way Beckett. I know that when I was telling you about the Slade battle you were having flashbacks. So if I were you I'd not tell someone to be up front if you aren't."Spencer said with his back turned to me; his happy-go-lucky demeanor diminished. A shock went through my core and I shivered. This guy was scary when he wanted to be.

   When I exited his office there was Flint, Rhia, and Hodge all standing there with gear packed. "So I take it that you heard?"I asked. They nodded, "We'll be taking a train there so pack a backpack and meet us at Spencer's office in half and hour."Rhia said as she stalked off with her pack slung over her shoulder. "Um... What do I have to really pack? I don't have stuff remember?"I said. Rhia stopped walking and turned around. "I'll pack some of my clothes for you. Guess we'll be leaving in five minutes."She said as she sped off toward her room. I sighed and then sat down to wait.

   Spence stared at the sky with a scowl on his face. "What's wrong lover boy? Missing your not-girlfriend?"Villiers taunted. Spence snorted but knew better than to say anything. It had been only four days since those damn red heads swooped in and stole his precious Beckett. He was not happy about that, because of them he had trouble sleeping at night. Suddenly Villiers' hand savagely gripped his hair and yanked him to look at Villiers. "Answer me when I talk to you." Villiers spat. "Enough Villiers. Leave the poor guy alone." Keigo said as he appeared. He was quite different from all of him. His hair was a dark brown and his eyes hazel. A slight frame suggested that he wasn't much of a fighter. However he looked menacing with his two sickles strapped to his back. He wore a dark shirt without sleeves and dark pants. Strangely enough he was barefoot.

   Villiers snorted and tossed Spence down without a second thought. "Fine, but you had better watch your back. One of these days Monte won't favor you."He growled and then stalked off. "You alright?"Keigo asked as he helped Spence up. Spence nodded and then sat back in the window sil. Keigo sat next to him and studied Spence's face carefully. "What are you doing?" Spence asked.

"Studying your face."

"Why?"

"Dunno. Hey was it true that you were that Sandoval girls friend?"

"Uh... Yeah, again. Why ask?"

"No reason really. All I heard was that you betrayed her and slit her throat."

   Spence glared at Keigo. Keigo was lucky that he was still a minor or Spence would've beaten him outright at that moment. "W-what?" Keigo stuttered. Spence continued to glare until Keigo shied away. Once Spence was sure that the little annoyance was gone he went back to glaring at the sky. "Beckett..."

   "I hate trains..."I groaned. Yet again I was hovered over a bag puking my guts out. I don't even know what sets me off but it's just trains. Planes, cars, and boats never did this to me. "There, there. I'm sure that you'll get better as time goes on."Hodge said as he pat my back and held my hair. I groaned in arguement. If this continued on like it was I would be nothing but bones in two days. "My, my, my. What are we going to do with you?" Rhia muttered under her breath as she watched the scene unfold before her.
