Dream or Memory?
Miss Martian was only seeing another's dream, that's what she told herself. This can't be a memory, it SHOULDN'T be a memory, but there she was, watching Dick and...Black Frost?
*Dream*
It started out with Dick, who looked angry, entering a room that looked like a cross between a garage and workshop, filled with computers and gadgets, all different shapes and sizes.
M'gann watched as the chair, sitting in front of the main computer, turned and revealed Black Frost. "What was THAT about?" She asked, raising her voice a little.
Dick didn't reply, he only moved farther into the room and collapsed on a couch, M'gann didn't notice it was there before.
Black Frost's face softened. "You okay?" She asked, softly.
Dick didn't reply. Miss Martian, being the concerned one, floated towards Dick. He looked horrible. He was sweating, shivering, and shaking, he looked sick to M'gann.
"I did tell you not to talk to him..." Black Frost commented, moving to Nightwing's side. Leaning over, she felt his forehead. Shaking her head, sad, she removed her hand.
"...you were right." M'gann's heart broke, hearing her friend so broken, and in pain.
Black Frost sighed, "I know. And I knew that I couldn't stop you from going to see him. I'm sorry for not trying to stop you, but you have to learn, they can't be reasoned with." She was stern, but M'gann could tell she was tired.
Dick smiled weakly, as he closed his blue eyes. Black Frost smiled, and laughed, softly. "I miss you, Dick..."
M'gann woke up, gasping for breath as Nightwing did the same...
Training was always entertaining for the team, it really becomes memorable when there is something going on, like M'gann seeing Dick's memory dream.
Training was normal enough, everyone with a partner, and some who just watched. Though, today's training only had Nightwing, Superboy, Beast Boy, Miss Martian, and Robin.
Training stopped when someone called out, "Dick!"
Everyone looked to Nightwing, slightly uneasy on who called his name.
"It sounds like they're in the main room." Connor stated, looking to Robin. Tim getting the idea, opened the video feed to see who was on the Watchtower. The video revealed no one, until a different voice sounded.
"Nightwing." Most tensed and got into a defensive stance.
Dick couldn't believe that he was here. Narrowing his eyes, he pushed past everyone, standing in between the team and the intruder. "Why are you here?" Nightwing demanded, prepared for a fight.
The intruder scoffed. "We came here because we need your help."
"We?" M'gann asked, having a feeling this had something to do with Dick's dream.
"Yeah, we-"
"Nightwing!"
Suddenly, Dick was on the ground with someone practically squeezing him to death. Dick looked down, confused on who tackled him to the ground. "Lucy...? How...?" He asked, trying to figure out how she's here.
She smiled down at him, before standing up, reaching out a hand to help him up. "It's a long story. Believe or not, everyone missed you. The place isn't the same without you." Lucy said, pulling Dick up from the ground.
"You weren't there when I was there." Dick pointed out.
Lucy raised an eyebrow. "Technically, I was. Don't you remember the many times we talked? Especially, when you needed someone to talk to, and no one was around?"
"Yes, the whole place knew about Nightwing's problems, now, can we explain why we came here?" The second intruder that no one knew the name of, said.
Lucy glared at him. "Fred!" She scolded.
"What?" Fred shrugged, causing Lucy to sigh.
"Why did you come here?" Beast Boy asked. "You said, you needed Nightwing's help, why?" Dick, Lucy, and Fred stared at him.
Nightwing looked back to Lucy. "Lucy? Why do you need my help?"
She looked nervous, and kept looking back to Fred, who only shrugged in reply.
Lucy looked back to Nightwing. "Black Frost went after them!" She looked close to tears.
"Who is 'them'?" Connor asked, after seeing Dick pale.
"She went by herself...?" He asked Lucy, quietly.
Lucy looked sad. "She was fine by herself before you came, she's fine now."
"She went after them? It took the both of us to stop them last time!" Dick Commented, with a slight raise of voice. He closed his eyes, calming down. "When did she leave?"
"A few days ago, we lost contact last night. We thought you would know where to find her." Fred replied.
Dick was trying really hard to stay calm, but the thoughts of what could happen to Frost keep him from staying calm. He tried breathing in and out, along with every other technique, but this all started because of him. And Frost might pay for his mistakes....
"Dick..." Lucy trailed off, noticing the signs. "You're unstable." Fred started cursing quietly, pulling a gun out just in case Dick attacked.
"Wait!" Tim intervened, moving in between Lucy and Dick. "What is going on?" He motioned to Fred's weapon. "Why did bring that out?" He asked, wanting to protect his brother.
"Dick?" Lucy asked, looking past Tim.
"You're right." Dick started. "That's why you two need to go back to the nest, while I go rescue Frost." He tried moving past Lucy, but she stopped him.
"Dick, I witnessed what happen to Frost when she was like this, I don't want it to happen again." She warned him.
He stared at Lucy. "Your death was an accident by a child. Frost was-"
"Just because you understand the story behind Black Frost and our family, doesn't mean you and Frost go off on your own! Don't think you have to do this on your own, I'm here. And I know that this team," Lucy gestures around the room. "will be willing to help too, because you and Frost can't do it alone. Not anymore." She stared into Dick's eyes, silently willing for him to understand, and to accept help.
Dick just stared back at her.
"Dick." M'gann started. He looked towards her. "At least, accept our help." She looked around, seeing the others, Superboy, Beast Boy, and Robin, nod. "We want to help." She stared at him, hoping for him to accept.
Dick only looked around, before replying.
1,038 words. Sorry for the late update and the cliffhanger, I actually did provide a better insight for this book, and the first book.
I want to thank Xx_Skylar_Blue_xX for the comment and the motivation, it took awhile because of college and volunteer work. I really hope you and all the other readers enjoy the first chapter.
See you all later!
