‘GAME OVER’ to Robin?

It was another great, big, beautiful day as all days were, really, when you were as lucky as agent Copper. Being an agent was a massive honor. Few others had such a chance to serve good for countless years.

She was leafing through a stack of paper files (stuff so confidential that it wasn't worth the risk to put it on any computer that could possibly be hacked) when she noticed a stray photograph.

Curious, she picked it up to get a closer look. It was a blond man. There was nothing especially remarkable about his appearance, but something about him got her attention all the same. She then noticed more pictures: a redheaded, teenage boy with a robotic eye; a friendly-looking being with wings; a huge, muscular blond man; what she could've sworn was some kind of snake person...

Wait a minute... Who were these people?

"Ah, reminiscing over old cases. I gottcha." The guard made a pair of finger guns to which she smiled (more so to get him to move on and stop kissing up to superiors) and quickly went back to digging.

Unsatisfied with what she could find peering down at it, she picked the file out of the drawer and another photo came falling out. It was a wrench.

Suddenly, this felt so wrong. This all felt so wrong, but no matter how much she wracked her brain she couldn't figure out why.

Robin awoke in a cold sweat.

Even in her awake and alert state, she was having trouble piecing together what bothered her so much about what she had just seen. Tolo had mentioned the possibility of using some weird experimental thing on her, but it was stolen so they couldn't do that. That Captain's notes mentioned having something strange, and he wrote something about memories? Is that what that did? Is that what they did to dream her?

Then it finally clicked.

Dream her had been forced to forget everything including how to be a mechanic and then she put all her friends to death while believing she was helping them.
