------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Her voice was scared and confused as tears welled up in the deep blue abyss of her eyes.

"You don't remember me," I managed to choke out.

"No I-I don't know, I don't remember," her legs curled up and she looked like a small animal rather than her normal tigress like self. My heart clenched as her words meet my ears.

"What do you remember Charlie," I said roughly a tear slipping from my eyes but I quickly wiped it away. Looking up at me she looked truly broken down probably mirroring my face.

"I didn't even know my name till you just said it," when the words left her lips I was already out of the room looking for a doctor and our friends. Tracking down the closest doctor I demanded they come to her room to examine her and fix the problem. They quickly complied after seeing the glare on my face.

"Dick!" I heard my name being shouted down the hall. Turning I saw Wally and Conner running towards me pulling me a little farther back from the shaken doctor.

"She's awake," I said gruffly. Bright smiles took over their faces but both turned confused.

"Why are you not with her right now," Wally asked. Leaning back against the wall I let my head roll back resting on it as I tried to control my down spiral of emotions.

"She doesn't remember anything, not even herself, not even us." Horror stricken they both stepped away like they had been burned.

They looked ready to say something when the doctors who had scurried away a moment ago began to inch back. "she asked to speak to you" one hesitated like he wanted to say more but stopped. Raising an eyebrow I waited for them to just spit it out. Sighing he continued "she found her wedding rings and wants to meet her husband. She assumed it was you."

Taking in the information I walked back towards the room that she was in and slowly opened the door as not to surprise her. Connor and Wally inched after me into the room but stayed at the thresh hold of the door so they didn't overwhelm her.
Looking at the bed I got worried when I saw it was empty until I noticed the bathroom door was opened steeping towards it I saw her looking into the mirror turning from side to side studying herself. "I know that you're watching me." She said surprising me.

"Well at least your senses didn't go away with your memories," I muttered under my breath. A slight smirk spread over her mouth as she lightly shook her head turning to face me.

"I also heard that," letting out a soft chuckle I smiled at her softly. Realizing after a second that we were staring at each other for a little longer than normal she blushed and dropped her gaze making me frown. We used to be able to just stare into each other in the eyes for hours this was foreign to me.

"I found these next to my bed... I'm right when I say there mine correct." She twirled them around her finger before looking up at me.

"Ya, there yours," I looked down at my own before I clinched my fist. She must have noticed because her eyes widened. She took slow cautions steps forward towards me before taking my clenched fist. Slowly undoing it she placed hers against mine comparing them. The detailed wedding bands were almost identical showing the connection.

"I'm so sorry," she whispered.

"It's not your fault you don't remember things, I should have been there to protect you," a hand placed over my mouth surprised me into being quiet.

"you can't always protect someone, I may not know a lot at the moment or how I even got to be like this but what I do know is that the feeling in my gut tells me to trust you." Smiling under her hand I softly took her hand off of my mouth but not before kissing her hand lightly. Another round of light blush covered her cheeks. Quickly she pulled her hand away and put it behind her back shyly. Frowning I stepped back not wanting to overwhelm her. A cough coming from the door way brought us out of our moment. There standing at the door was Bruce, his hair was disheveled a bit and he was wearing one of his normal business suits but he looked out of place. Feeling a slight pressure on my side I noticed it was Charlie hiding slightly behind me and tucking herself in a bit.

"Char this is Bruce Wayne, he's your dad," nodding into my side she slowly stepped out tentatively walking over she stood in front of him with her head tilted to the side a bit. Wrapping her arms around his waist she surprised them. Bruce quickly reacted and slung his arms around her tightening them. After a moment she pulled away before gabbing both of our hands in her much smaller ones.

"I don't know either of you but I'd love to,"

"You know you have the weirdest reactions to things," I said with a slight laugh. "Memories present or not you never where normal," she smiled and walked out of the slightly cramped bathroom and plopped down on her bed.

"What was I like?" she said softly, picking at the hospital gown absentmindedly. "What did I do for a living or for fun?"

"You were an overly committed cheerleader and softball player who sucked at school but you model part time and have a degree in business." A voice said from the hall way revealing Artemis. "You were also my best friend; sometimes when you weren't being overly embarrassing in public id consider you my sister." She leaned against the door with a quirky smile. "Oh and I'm Artemis,"

"It's nice to meet you... well again I guess," her laughter was contagious. Turning her eyes to me she spoke again, " is there more people here to meet,"

"Yes but you don't have to meet them now if you're tired we can leave and let you sleep,"

"No! Don't leave...I don't want to be alone, plus I might as well get all the introductions out now." She tried to reassure us but we all gave each other questioning looks before nodding.

"Ok but I warn you a lot of people are about to crowd this tiny room and none of them know you don't have your memories so it might take me a minute to get them."

"Why don't I tell them," she stated "I need to stretch my legs and change into something that doesn't flash my ass to anyone who walks behind me," nodding I threw her some clothes which she caught reflexively.

We all left her to change which only took a minute before she popped back out of the room and began to walk out and going to the right.

"uuh Charlie..." she stopped and turned and gave me a questioning look.

"Other way," nodding she ran in the other direction leaving us to lightly laugh behind her.

"Even without her memories she still acts like herself," I said with a slight smile on my face. "She never ceases to surprise me," following after her we caught up quickly. She was standing in front of the waiting room a nervous look on her face. Turning her head to us she got a determined look. Surprising us she laced her fingers in mine and pushed the door open.
