Chapter 22: The Last of days at the Begining

Emily Belisle

"I'm not going to make you forget about your kids, Maxine." My voice comes out shaky and she takes my hand in hers.

"Emily... Please, I can't let Luthor know about them, he'd kill them and make me watch." I don't know what to do, this is insane, worse than that rumor about the "cure".

"Maxine, you know what will happen if I make you forget... You'll forget me... Then I'd have no one..." Anger and loss builds up inside my chest, I don't want to be forgotten.

"You won't be alone, though, you don't have to choose that, but please do make the choice to save my children." Her children that are barely a day old, I have the lives of them in my hands.

I sigh.

"Ok, I'll make you forget your children who'll grow up without you or their father." I cast a glare at the vigilante in the corner, Nightwing. He's pretty hot, I have no idea how she got him, but he wants to go back to his dimension. Coward.

"Don't try to guilt me into changing my mind, come on, E.Belisle." The nickname slips out of her lips. I only allow her to call me it because she's my friend.

"Sorry, but not really." I'm really upset, the laugh that comes from her makes me smirk. Then it disappears, we'll never be able to do this again. She has to pick up a job at Stark Labs as a microbiologist, and secretly infiltrate his system. All the while, I'll be at the institute, where no one remembers my name. Except for the one I gave myself.

Emnisia.

"Maxine, I don't want you to forget me." She looks me in the eyes and I know that nothing I say will move her.

"Hey, I know a little girl at the institute who would be happy to remember you." I raise my eyebrows.

"Who?"

"Her name's Blayke​." What?

"Wait-"

"Hurry up, we have to do it today." I look at her again with a frown.

"Hold on, I need to say goodbye." A deep voice says from the corner, making me jump. I forgot about him...

He walks over to the side of the hospital bed and they embrace in a deep kiss.

"Oh my gosh, you guys are so gross." I say and interrupt them.

"I'll see you again, I promise." He says to get in regret.

"Shouldn't we make your boyfriend forget too?" I say, I dislike him very much, no matter how good looking he is. She bites her lip.

"It would be the best for Sam and Elanor." She whispers to him and he nods and touches his forehead to hers.

"I'll do it with you." His words strike me.

"Ok, let's get this over with." I say, I walk over to both of them and touch their arms, releasing the hormones that erase memories.

The blank look in her eyes unsettles me, she's gone I guess.

But Blayke's not.
