You guys will probably hate me for this, but this chapter is somewhat of a time skip. Everything that happened to Laura will be explained I promise you that.

Also today was my last day of school so yay for summer! ^-^ No more school drama and major BS! :) Also yay for a daily updating. I am highly busy this weekend so there might not be an update the next few days. I might have an update tomorrow since I'm free until the late afternoon so I'll shoot for Chapter 3 before then, but I make no such promises.

Warning: There is a tiny bit of swearing, mentions of psychological abuse, physical abuse, and light torture.

Laura's POV

I attempted to open my tightly shut eyes. My eyes felt very heavy for some odd reason. I tried to lift my arms to rub my eyes, but my arms wouldn't cooperate. I felt so sluggish and I didn't know why. Now that my mind was awake I could hear the steady beep of a heart monitor. My eyes instantly opened when I heard the beeping. I franticly looked around. I could see a TV hanging from the wall. I saw a few empty chairs around my bed. I looked down at myself and saw I was in a green hospital gown. I looked to my right and there was a window. It was still daylight out. What happened? How did I get here?

"Look girlie, I make the rules." A man spoke to me.

He came closer to where I was tied up and caressed the skin on my arms.

"Let me go!" I yelled while trembling in fear.

"Nobody is around to hear you girlie." The man said.

My inhibitor collar was still on so I couldn't use any of my powers to get out of this mess.

"What could you possibly gain for keeping me here?" I asked.

"Breaking you," He replied, "if your friends really cared about you, they would've been here to save your sorry ass already."

"That's not true!" I shouted.

"If it wasn't true then why hasn't anyone come and saved you?" He asked while stroking my face.

I winced at him touching my face like that. Was he right?

'No Lauren, you can't let yourself believe anything he says. He's trying to break you and make you feel like you're nothing.' The voice in my head said.

"Laura!" I heard someone squeal.

I saw the familiar faces of Megan and Zatanna standing in the doorway. Both of them came into the room and went by my bed. They were each in civvies -the only difference from that day was that Megan's skin was her normal green instead of Caucasian- I didn't know what to say. Oh, wait I did.

"You mind adjusting the bed up so I'm not stuck lying down?" I asked with a raspy voice.

It seemed my throat was sore, from what I wouldn't know. Megan grabbed the remote to the bed telepathically. Then the dome of the bed, where my head was, lifted up so I was sitting up instead of lying down. There was also a glass of water besides the bed. I picked it up and drank it enjoying the liquid in my throat.

"Thanks." I mumbled. "How long was I out for?" I managed to get out slowly.

Zatanna and Megan both looked at each other. I took that as an 'it was awhile' look.

"Yo where'd the girls go?" I heard a male voice ask.

I panicked. I felt my heart beat in my chest. It was getting harder for me to breathe. I felt like I was choking.

"Stop trying to escape, it's not going to happen." I heard his voice in my head say.

He lightly rubbed a knife down the side of my throat. It was soft enough not to make a cut, but my body was shaking as he did it.

I raised my hand and shot a ghost ray at where the sound came from. My powers are working? Now I can finally get my revenge on my captor.

"Laura!" I heard someone scream while feeling someone's hands on my shoulders.

I blinked and realized Zatanna had her hands on my shoulders while Megan was closing the door to the medical bay. I looked and saw there was a burn mark on the wall- well, whoops Bats will kill me for that one. I felt something warm and wet running down my face. There were a few tears going down my face but it wasn't a full out breakdown. –At least I tried not to make it that way.-

"Guys let me in!" I heard a voice scream from outside the door.

"Shut it Kid Idiot, she probably doesn't want to see anyone else!" I heard another voice whisper.

Then I heard their footsteps walk away from the room. After their conversation, I felt a dip in the bed and saw that Zatanna had sat right beside me on the bed. Then she put one of her arms around the back my shoulders and leaned me down to where my head was on her shoulder. She had her other arm in front of my chest just holding me. I looked to where Megan was and she looked at me with sadness in her eyes. She came over by the bed and sat on the chair to my left and grabbed one of my hands.

"How?" I asked before Zatanna shushed me.

"We'll explain everything soon enough," Megan started while gently squeezing my hand, "Uncle J'onn said that if we told you everything at once it would mess up your brain and make you unwell." She stated matter-of-factly. "Do you want me to open up the mind link so it would be easier for you to communicate with us?"

I shook my head for a 'yes'. Communicating with my voice has been hard on my throat.

'Link is up.' I heard Megan's voice in my head say.

I winced at the voice in my head. I was on so many missions before this, and I was used to her-and others- voices in my head. Why was I wincing now? I used the hand that was empty to rub my head.

"Are you okay?" Zatanna asked out loud when she felt my body flinch.

'No, I woke here and I'm confused and I don't know what to do and no one is telling me anything!' I thought-rambled.

I heard the heart machine beep faster as my heart felt like it was being forced out of my chest while my breath quickened.

"Laura, you need to calm down." Zatanna said while using the arm behind me to rub my back. "We promise we'll explain everything, but you need to worry about getting better first."

After she said that I attempted to calm down and started to breathe slower. I was assuming she was talking out loud because of my wincing. I was happy that it wasn't silent in here, that's what I always hated about the psychic conversations it was always too quiet for my liking.

'Can you two explain how long I was out?' I asked desperately looking up at Zatanna and then looking at Megan.

"I won't go into too much detail," Megan started off with a sigh, "but you were out for a week."

'That's not so bad.' I interrupted while attempting a shrug.

"You didn't let me finish," Megan said while closing her eyes and reopening them, "Although you were out for a week, you've been gone for a few months."

My face went from confused to a shocked look.

'A few months?' I asked angrily. 'I was with that fucking bastard for months?'

I closed my eyes and I still saw his covered face.

I was in that dark room handcuffed to the head of the bed. I was positioned that I was sitting up and my handed were in the air. It was an averaged sized room with a small bed, a drawer or two, and a chair. I couldn't remember the layout even if I wanted to. It was always too dark to see anything. The blinds were always down so no light would come through. I heard the door creak open and heavy footsteps coming my way. My entire body was shaking in terror. What would he do now? The footsteps came to the bed and then stopped. I felt a finger trail up my dirty and teared up clothing.

"Laura snap out of it!" I heard someone shout in panic.

I opened my eyes back up and saw a worried look on Megan's face. I felt my hand being squeezed tighter by Megan. I didn't want to look at Zatanna's because I knew it would be the same. Zatanna was still rubbing my back and whispering comforting things. I couldn't understand what she was saying. Was she using a comforting spell? I was relaxing more and more.

"Og otni a sselmaerd peels!" I heard Zatanna whisper before my vision went white.

So how's that for a chapter? Just to clarify things: No there was no romance or anything with how Zatanna or Megan were helping Laura. That was just girls comforting their friend, teammate, and someone who they consider a sister.

Now the reason I had Zatanna put Laura to sleep at the end was because she was close to having a panic attack from her memories of what happened to her. They didn't want her to hyperventilate. Zatanna and Megan both saw what Laura saw from the link and knew Laura wanted out of it. Zatanna put Laura in a 'dreamless' sleep so she wouldn't have any nightmares about that time.

If you didn't figure it out the two teens outside Laura's door were Artemis and Wally. Megan politely told them psychically to stay out of the room before she set up the link with Laura.
