I have a better question for you. Who are you. How did you get here? And i don't mean here in this van, but here In Battery City. Why did you need a doctor in the first place?
Think about it.

*I am stunned that he has turned my question around on me, and it takes me a while to answer in a shaky, uncertain voice.*
"My name is Madisah Catherine Jones. I was born in Battery City; my parents were killed in a car accident, and so was my brother... I survived and fell into a coma.
The Doctor brought me back, restored my memory, and tutored me while I studied to become a doctor myself."
*the story sounds really good, but it doesn't seem real in my voice. And my name... my name sounds too artificial. Maybe if I just kept my first name... and part of the second... just the parts that I like...*
"Bullshit.
Your name WAS Madisah Catherine Jones, but you changed it after the big bomb attack that killed your family, but not you because you hid in the basement. You became a killjoy, and you saved me from BLI... we became a team, remember?
*I toss her a picture of me, her, and Mouse, taken with an instant camera that Mouse had rescued from a dumpster.*
You were captured by BLI after we went on a mission to find survivors in your old town... and they have probably brainwashed you. Please, Cat, make an effort. Remember who you are. Remember me."

*looks at blaze... that may have been too much too soon. If cat is doubting her history then maybe its ok, but if not then it could cause a panic...*
You remember all of that? The doctor, the coma, the parents dying in a car crash? Because I remember more and differently. I remember the fights, the struggles, the laughs, the Theatre for gods sake! And you saving my life in the underground post out in the zones!
They didn't restore your memories... they replaced them.

"Of course I remember everything!"
*or do I? My mind stumbles, trying desperately to find the memories it lost. Surely I remember my parents car... it was a white car, like the rest in Battery City... but why then is my mind insisting on the color blue?*
"You can't... you can't replace memories on people..." *I mumble, trying to sound convinced, but the truth is I'm not sure anymore. I do recall some sort of theatre, packed with those dangerously colorful people, but it can't be real... it feels too much like a dream to be real...*

Common Cat.... Mad. Ice. Cat.
think harder. of course its possibly to fake a memory, a perception, a mind, or an Identity. After all, we got into the hospital ward didn't we?
And the gun. If you were truly in a coma, where did you learn to fire? How did you know what spots to hit?
*takes off the outfit completely to show my killjoy outfit, in all its colors*
Color isn't bad.

*I cover my eyes and cower away from Poison, feeling a lot like a little girl being flashed on the street. I move backward until my back hits the van's wall, and crumble down unto the seat, sobbing dryly.*
"I don't like color... I don't want to feel... please, Doctor, make it go away..."
"Cat, there is no Doctor. Only you, me, Poison, and Mouse. It doesn't go away until you remember who you are."
*I slowly shed my BLI disguise, and put my red-sleeved arms around her. She tenses up, but doesn't fight back*
"I'm not Cat... I can't be Cat... Cat... Cat..."
*The more I say the word, the more it rings true. It's a faint ring, but it soon grows as loud as church bells chiming. I scream into Blaze's neck, wishing for the feeling to be gone.*

"Right on it..."
*I take the highway that leads to zone four. It looks abandoned, but I drive with my eyes wide open just in case.*
*I hold Cat close to me, feeling my body shake in time with her sobs. I'm doing my best not to cry, but seeing her like this makes me feel terrible... Her sobs subside quickly, though, and she falls into an uneasy sleep.*
"Poison... freshen my mind up a little... what happened in that theatre? I can't remember much..."

It was the center of all things at the time. Cat had just helped to save my life at an underground complex in the desert. I went too far underground searching for something by myself and I stumbled upon a much bigger lab than i expected.
Its where we all came together after the missions and we danced, we sang, we had fun. So many fond memories...

"Wow..."
*I look at Cat's sleeping figure, then at Poison. I can't help but feel jealous... they seem to share such a deep bond...*
"We'll get there in about an hour... you guys should sleep. I'll wake you up should anything happen."

Yeah... It was a hard time. We had our times, I'm sure you guys had yours too.
Shortly after though... everything went to hell. The Scarecrow units came after retro and we both ran till the end. I died and i haven't seen cat since I ran from the theatre that day.
*I look over at mouse*
aye aye. We should all get some rest.

"You died. Wow, that's something you don't hear everyday!"
*I feel a little sleepy now that Mouse mentions it, and I cuddle up to Cat. I'm asleep within minutes*
*I look at Blaze's and Cat's sleeping forms in the rearview mirror, and I lift my eyebrow at Poison*
"You alright, muffin? You seem a little down..."

*I Sit up and get into the passenger seat next to mouse*
yeah I'm fine. Its hard to sleep now a days. Being dead did that to me haha. Some of the medicines ya know... Shorter healing times, heightened reflexes... shortened sleeping time. Oh well. It's sad to see cat this way. She hardly remembers anything at all. And then there was the city... we got out too easy. Everyone was distracted by something. The others were heading our way and going into the city too. Including the ones who had just escaped!
Its all very curious.
How are you holding up?

*smirks at the thought of Poison being dead. It means I'm talking to a zombie... that's sort of wickedly amusing. I am intrigued as to why the escape was so easy, but I'm not complaining about it anytime soon. I prefer it if no guns are fired.*
"After all the work I put on getting them out of there too... *shakes head and sighs*... I'm doing well, sugar, but I must admit I hate being out in the open for so long... I miss my little Rat's Nest... and I miss Cat too... the old Cat. I hope that your theatre plan brings her back to us..."

Me too... me too. I think she's starting to get it back. She definitely has it in her, it hasn't been eliminated. I guess BL/ind can't do everything haha. I'm missing the desert already myself. And the others. We're not usually apart from each other for long. My sister sarah and my pet fox Nali are still out there somewhere too. I need to get a hold of them.

Yes, I'm still running - sort of. But it is lonely out here. Haven't seen anyone else for a while.
