I heard a banging noise but I couldn't open my eyes to see what it was. The noise got louder. Hope filled my chest, maybe Dick finally came for me. A gush of wind ripped past me. Something told me I needed to open my eyes. I focused my strength into opening them. I felt a pull at my eyelashes and they finally opened. The first thing I realised is that i'm am sooo hungry. The second thing was that I could remember. I could picture my circus days in my mind. I don't know how or why but I could. The banging noise had stopped but I saw someone standing my the door trying to unlock it. I focused on looking at the colors the person was wearing. Yellow and Red. Then I looked to the hair, a bright red/orange.

"Wally?" I tried to say but it came out sounding like a strangled whine. He unlocked the door and two figures walked in the room. I recognised one as Artemis but the other ones outfit did not trigger a memory in my mind.

The three ran over to me and the one I couldn't recognise started picking the locks on my chains. The unidentified person mumbled to himself and I couldn't help but feel like I know him. I took my attention off of him and focused on Wally and Artemis. I swallowed hard and tried to speak again.

"Well if It isn't Mustard and Relish?" I joked. My voice was weak and raspy. The two sent me a forced grin.

"Where's Ketchup?" I asked praying that nothing bad had happened to Dick. I glanced around again double checking that I hadn't missed the small boy in red and black.

The chains gave way and Wally stepped forward and caught me. I looked up at him. He was definitely older than when I had last seen him and stronger too.

Artemis wrapped a blanket over me and the man in black and blue stepped up to look at me. His face gave an expression of relief.

" I'm afraid the name Ketchup does not apply to the costume anymore." His voice was low but smooth, comforting.

"W-what?" I asked confused.

The man looked around the room and peeled off his mask. Those eyes... the man was Dick, He came for me!

"DIDI!" I yelled as loud as my body would allow me. Oh my god. He looks so much older I just.... How long was I here? Wally handed me over to Dick and he held me bridal style and I clung to his chest.

"It's going to be okay Sonya." He soothed as we walked down the halls of the dreary building. I looked up at him as we walked.

"Dick..." He looked down at me with pure concern. " I remember." He stopped walking.

"What?"
"I remember." I repeated.

"You do?"

"Every flip and turn." I grinned. Dick look like realization had slapped him in the face.

"Dick...?"

"That's why Harley left the Joker!" He started walking again

"What..?"

"She got mad and left the Joker but before she left she gave you your memories. ....What would make her mad enough to leave? Even the Batman couldn't figure it out." I went silent. Then Dick looked down at me again. I felt a silent tear run down my face.

"Soni? ... What happened to your dress?" I felt hot tears as the 'events' flashed before my eyes. Dick had a look of pure horror written across his face.

"He didn't..." Dick didnt get to finish because by then I was using all the strength I could muster to grip on to him and I was sobbing into his chest. Dick held me tighter and I felt a drop of liquid on my forehead. All you could here was their footsteps and as Dick layed me down in the back seat of the Batmobile he kissed my forehead and muttered something as he climbed into the front seat.

"... I should have been there." and with the start of the engine I drifted off to sleep feeling safe for the first time in a long time.

Im sorry that these chapters are regularly short. They should start to get longer soon.
