Operation: Threads of Connection

I Remember

Anya's POV: 

Everything came flashing through. 

My mother-though I don't remember her face, I could feel her, see her beauty both inside and out. 

"Wouldn't be nice if we could soar through the sky like that?" 

My mama knew tried to protect me from them. She sacrificed herself thinking it would be an end to the experiments. But how she was wrong. 

I remember the experiments. Painful, pityful, always my fault. The countless nights I spent crying wishing for my mama to be here. Wishing for all of it to end. 

I remember escaping. Going from orphange to orphange. 

Alone in the world. 

Hearing all these thoughts I could not control. 

I remember the day I met Loid Forger. At the time I didn't realize I was being used for a mission. All I wanted was someone that would make me feel safe. Secure. Would not be afriad of me. 

I remember the day we met Yor Briar. She was so strong. So kind. I saw a lot of my mother in her. 

I remember the day I met Becky. My true best friend. I accpet her flaws and she accepts mine. To me she's perfect the way she is, I truly wouldn't have survived school without her. 

and then. 

Damian. 

I remember the petty arguments we'd have in elementary school. I didn't realize it before, but in a way I was using him as well. It wasn't until we reached middle school I realized, he wasn't all that bad.

It took me a while, but I think I always felt a sense of trust. A sense of security around him. He always protected me. Always put me first before himself-and I took that for granted for many years. 

I remember his face when I told him I didn't know him. Heartbroken. Absolutely destoryed. 

And now as I stand before my family-My mama carrying my sibilings. My papa in utter distraught as he tries to think of the various scenarios to keep his family intact. 

The love of my life, in utter pain as Reed grows frustrated by the minute. 

I knew what I had to do. 

"I will go with you."
