Damian

"Li'l D you don't have to this. You're stronger than them. Fight it off. I don't want to lose another brother." said Nigthtwing. He was lying on his back and Damian's sword was touching his chest. Red Hood, Red Robin, Batman and countless others Damian had killed in cold blood were sprawled across the building. Damian hadn't broken a sweat while killing others and his mother who stood a few steps behind had congratulated him. Now she wanted him to kill his father figure,his older brother,the one that was always there for him. She told him to finish Nightwing off. But Damian just couldn't bring himself to do it.  He knew it was wrong and he shouldn't do it but his mother's will overpowered his own and in one quick slash his brother was dead. Only when Damian looked at his hands covered in his brother's blood did he understand what he had done. And now there was nothing he could do about it.

Noo! Damian woke up with tears in his eyes. He was never one to show emotion but he had to check if his brother was okay. So he got up and ran as fast as he could to his room only to find him thrashing in his bed and repeating "Nu! Nu!" over and over. Damian tried to wake him up by calling his name but when it didn't work he did the only thing he could think of: he got a bottle of ice cold water and splashed it on his brothers face which immeadiately woke him up.

Dick

He was watching them fall all over again. The sickening crunch of bones hitting the ground and breaking, his parent's faces losing all of it's light. Just when Dick thought it had ended, he looked up at the trapeze to see his new family jumping to their deaths. He saw the whole Justce League,and the Team fall down. They could have used their powers but they didn't. He watched them all die. Then he watched as Alfred slowly made his way to the edge and jumped, not even sparing a glance at him. Jason and Tim went down the same way, they didn't even look at him. All he could do was watch. And then Bruce came, he was different, he actually looked at Dick and then said "This is all your fault" and he too jumped down. Last to walk to the edge was Damian. He was saying something but Dick couldn't hear it. He was too lost in his own world to care. And right when he thought he was breaking a cold splash woke him up from his nightmare.

When he looked at who had done it, he saw Damian standing close to him with a bottle that was now empty. Dick could se from the boy's eyes that something was wrong. They were filled with pain and Dick could see the boy needed some comfort even though he was too tough to admit it. So he wordlessly scooted to the edge of the bed to make space for him and Damian just climbed in and latched himself onto Dick's chest.

Jason

Jason opened his eyes to see a crazed clown staring at him with a crowbar in his hand. Jason newin his subconscious that this was a nightmare yet his mind couldn't comprehend that. He remembered everything Joker had done to him. All the pain came crashing back. And then just like that he was in his coffin. "No, no,no,no please. Not here,please" He begged to whoever was listening. He tried with all his might to get out but whatever he did, he simply couldn't open it, Jason felt his breathing accelerate, His thoughts became too much to handle and he went into a full blown panic attack. Just as he thought he was going to suffocate he heard soft footsteps coming from outside? 

Those footseps brought him back to reality and he got up and washed his face. He was still disoriented so he didn't notice the lamp and that resulted in a big crash. Jason hoped no one heard that.He was glad to see he wasn't in a coffin but at Wayne Manor.  He opened his door to see the source of the footsteps with a gun in his hand-it might be an intruder- only to see the demon spawn enter goldie's room. "Huh, so it's nightmare day after all" he thought. He knew he couldn't go back to sleep but he couldn't go to goldie's room now that demon spawn was there. Replacement's and Bruce's rooms were not options so in the end he decided to enter goldie's room. He hoped the demon was asleep. When he entered the room he had half a mind to go back but then he saw his brother signaling him to come in. So he did just that and lay down on the other side of the bed.

Tim

Tim saw his parents. They were telling him about how dissapointed they were in him. Tim didn't care much he knew he always had Bruce and his brothers and Alfred there to take him and he knew he could trust the Team as well  but just as he thought that the scenery changed and he was suddenly at Mount Justice. The Team were all yelling at him, "How could you?" "We trusted you!" Tim didn't understand what he had done so he just said sorry. But that jus tmade everyone madder. They were insulting him and yelling at him and just when he thought he couldn't take him the scene changed again, this time to Wayne Manor. The whole family was there. And they were all glaring at him like he had done something wrong. Then Bruce finally decided to speak and said, I can't believe you would do something like this. We all trusted you. Turns out we were wrong." And then he took a gun and killed everyone, finishing with himself. Tim couldn't believe it. He was left alone. Again. He didn't know what he had done but he still felt immensely guikty. Just then a loud crash was heard that immeadiateky woke him up.

Tim sat dazed on his bed for a few minutes and then decided to find where the sound came from. He quietly slipped out of his room to see Jason walk to Dick's room. Tim figured that Jason probably crashed something after he woke up. It was pretty rare that he and Jason had nightmares  at the same time. It was rare but it wasn't impossible. So he too made his way to Dick's room. When he entered he saw Damian and Jason on either sides of Dick. The bed was almost too crowded but one more probably wouldn't matter so hewent to the bed and immeadiately fell asleep.

Bruce woke up from one of his most common nightmares:All his sons were dead in front of him and he couldn't do anything. His mother and father were also there as well as Alfred. Bruce felt very lonely. The nightmare was too convincing so as soon as he woke up he went to Damian's, Tim's and Jason's rooms. He was one step behind of a full blown panic attack when he arrived at Dick's room. The sight he saw was more than enpugh to settle down his worries. All 4 of his sons were on Dick's bed sleeping peacefully.Just then Alfred  appeared out of nowhere and took a picture...
