#prayforparis......remembered and never forgotten

____________________________________________________________________________________

It would be another two weeks until Kaldur was called back into therapy. This time, the following members of the League along with: his king and queen, his mother, Tula, and Garth, were asked to attend as well. He looked around the room in curiosity until he saw his king motioning him to sit in the chair next to him. He took his seat and stared at Canary, who was sitting in front of him.

"Kaldur, we want to try something different today. We want to put you under hypothesize," she explained.

"Is this safe?" Kaldur asked slightly nervous.

"Yes. We will be monitoring you the entire time. Okay," Batman answered.

"Okay, let's just get this over with," Kaldur said as he could feel a headache coming.

J'onzz placed his hand on his temple and focused. Kaldur was soon put to sleep and J'onzz sat down in Canary's chair when she got up.

"Kaldur, I want you to relax. Keep your mind at ease and focus on my voice. Am I understood?" J'onzz explained.

"Yes," Kaldur said sleeply.

"Now, take me back to a time when you were happy. Tell me about it," He ordered softly.

Kaldur thought for about a good ten minutes. This was honestly disturbing to a few members of the League. He smiled softly before a low hum escaped from his lips. His hands started to glow lightly as his posture started to become relaxed.

"Momma," Kaldur whispered happily with the smallest smile starting to form upon his lips.

Shalina slightly frowned sadly at Kaldur's words while Mera smiled since he only called her 'momma'.

"What about her?" J'onzz asked curiously.

"She is singing to me. I love her singing voice. I-momm,." Kaldur said with a small smile that changed to an angry look.

"What is happening? Talk to me," J'onzz ordered.

"Let her go. It's not her fault!" Kaldur muttered angrily.

"Who? Who has her?" J'onzz asked.

"Father, please do not harm her!" Kaldur ordered firmly as he tried to move in his chair.

"Kaldur, I need you to calm down. I want you to take me out of this memory. Relax," J'onzz said.

Kaldur calmed his breathing and relaxed in the chair.

"Good. Now Kaldur, think back to the morning you were taken," He said trying to keep his voice soothing.

"I woke up around 5:30. I didn't sleep much the night before," Kaldur said.

"Why not?" J'onzz asked.

"Newlyweds on the floor above me," Kaldur explained with a small chuckle.

Arthur grinned at Kaldur's chuckle. He hasn't heard Kaldur smile or even grin in mouths.

"What did you do when you got up?" J'onzz asked.

"I got dressed and went to check on my neighbor. Then I went out on my run. I was going to call my mother, but I told myself that I would when I arrived at the cave," Kaldur explained as his fingers went to his neck.

"Why are you touching your neck. Did something happen?" He asked.

"My locket. I would kiss it before I left anywhere. It would be for good luck for the day," Kaldur said softly.

All three of his parents smiled happily, with tears swelling in Mera's and Shalina's eyes.

"Where were you running to?" J'onzz asked.

"The beach. It is not that far away from my apartment. It was a nice way for me to unwind in the morning before training," Kaldur said as his body soon began to fully relaxed.

"What happened while you were running?" J'onzz asked.

"I was running down the alley. I felt a presence behind me. I tried to go to the street, thinking it would get frightened of being in the public eye," Kaldur explained as his breathing became labored.

"What happened next?" J'onzz asked keeping his voice even.

"He knocked me out and pushed me in the van. I think it was white. I am not sure. I remember being tied up and drugged. I felt a sharp pain in my neck. The inside was cold and it smelled awful. Like it has not been cleaned in months. But it was somewhat organized and clean looking. When I woke up my weapons were taken from me. My clothes were torn, I was chained to the wall," Kaldur said as his posture straightened and his voice became meek and fearful.

"It's okay. You are in the Watchtower. You are safe." J'onzz said as he tried to sooth him.

Kaldur's arm lit up and the glass and pitcher of water began to boil. Kaldur's hands began to open and close, making a fist. He turned his hand as if he was trying to avoid something.

"No! Please stop!" Kaldur shouted fearfully.

Superman and Aquaman had to put their hands on his shoulders to keep him in place.

"Kaldur, I want you to listen to my voice. I am going to count backwards from ten. When I reach one you will open your eyes and wake up," J'onzz explained firmly.

"Wait!" Kaldur shouted as an image of his attacked started to form.

"Ten," J'onzz said.

"It can not be," Kaldur said in shock.

"Nine, Eight,"

"No. Why?" Kaldur muttered in shock.

"Seven. Six. Five,"

"Why me? I don't understand," Kaldur said as his body trembled.

"Four. Three. Two. One." J'onzz snapped his fingers and Kaldur's eyes open.

Kaldur struggled to take in deep breaths and nearly collapsed in his chair. His mother and Queen came to his side and tried to talk to him. They asked him what he saw and if he was okay several times but all Kaldur did was sit there in a silent shock state.

"Kaldur, what did you see?" Canary asked.

"I thought I saw my attacked. I was pulled out too quickly. May I be excused?" Kalsur said in shock.

"Yes but," Batman said as Kaldur shot up out of his chair and left the room.

Kaldur ran to his room and locked the door. He picked up his phone and called Amanda.

"Kaldur, why are you..." She started to say but didn't finish.

"Listen to me very carefully. Stop working on my case. Now," Kaldur ordered bluntly.

"Why would you want that?" She asked in slight surprise.

"Please Amanda, you have to listen to me. If you work on my case I promised you, you will get hurt. Promise this to me, Amanda," Kaldur explained in a protective voice.

"Okay. You better know what you're doing," Amanda said as she hung up.

Kaldur got on his laptop that Robin gave him as a welcome home present and looked up the name, Wade Eiling.
