Just A Dream (book 1)

A Day of Tranquil Terror

"Breakfast is served." Alfred said as the last tray was set on the dinning room table. the kitchen staff had made eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and orange juice. Everyone had cone down to eat except for one. Myra had just stepped out if the shower when there was a knock on her door. quickly she threw on a pair of jeans and a tee shirt. She ran over to the door. "Yes?" She said pulling the door open.

A tall figure stands, leaned against the doorway. "May I come in?" Robin asked, his voice strange, more aggressive than usual. "Um, yeah." She said stepping back and motioning him in. He walked stiffly into her room and sat on the bed. He looked amazing in jeans and his wife beater. "Robin?" Myra asked in a voice that sent shivers down Robin's back.

"Are you okay? Because you are really starting to scare me." Myra asked while putting her damp hair in a messy bun. He stood up and walked over to the vanity where Myra was standing. "Dude, you are scaring me, what the hell is going on?!" Robin grabbed her arm and started towards the window. "We need to talk." His voice was rough. "Um, you know we could use the doooo...... ah!" Before she could finish Robin had jumped out the window dragging Myra with him.

They landed and Myra didn't even have time to get balanced before Robin started running. He led them into the garage before he let go of her arm. "What the hell Robin?! Are you trying to kill me!" She yelled before leaning up against the door. She just about caught her breath when a helmet was pushed into her. "Hey!That hurt!" She yelled rubbing her stomach. "Get on." Robin was already on his motorcycle before Myra could even object. She put on her helmet and hopped on behind Robin. The next thing she knew, they were on the streets of gotham city. They drove around everywhere, until they came to a stop infront of an old building.

"Robin what are we doing here?" Myra asked following him inside. Robin led her up three flights of stairs. "Robin, please." He finally came to a stop on the last floor. Robin stopped dead in his tracks and quickly turned around to meet the close gaze of Myra. "Tell me that you have been wondering the same question." He said with all seriousness. Myra threw up her arms. "What? That should I be a good friend and take you to the mental house?! Because you are acting like a maniac right now!" Myra wasn't paying attention to Robin who was now right in her face.

His breath sent shivers down her back. He was so close that Myra could see every little hair that was trying to grow on his face. "What did you say to me? I will not be treated on the same level as the Joker, Myra. You have had that worried look on your face too. And it is asking why the Hell Jinx was here." His breath smelt of mint, probably his toothpaste. "Of course I wondered that. But, you shouldn't. This is my territory and you are on vacation. Try to enjoy it." Myra leaned forward and placed a light kiss on Robin's cheek.

"Myra, please. Just seeing you brings back so many bad things and they are all my fault. I love you but, I don't want to put you in more danger than you already are." Robin fought back his urge to kiss her back, but before he could respond, something broke the window.

"Robin! Get down!" A cloud of smoke filled the room. Three dark figures walk around the two, who were laying on the floor next to eachother. Myra looked out of the corner of her eye and saw one of the men start to swing a crowbar at Robin. "Robin look out!" Myra yelled and jumped infront of him, taking the blow herself. Blood dripped down her forehead, but before any of the men could even think about reaching for her, Robin started attacking one end and Myra took the other. More men came barreling through the windows and doors. Robin and Myra stand back to back to back, ready to face as many of them that came.

They were surrounded, Myra knew she couldn't hold anyone off very long without powers, so she transformed. Now beside Robin stood a form of Raven. "Watch it guys, Boss said that she was a changer." One of the men warned the others. "Who are you working for?" Robin asked in a yelling manner. The man that warned the rest stepped forward. He was wearing a stylish suit, "Wouldn't you like to know." With that he pulled a gun out. Myra changed back into ger normal form.

"You are to come with me Miss Mirror." He laughed at his joke. Myra was about to talk but Robin beat her to it. He stepped infront of her. "You will have to defeat me first." All of the men attacked at once, hearding them into a corner. Robin and Myra had almost defeated the last of them, but before they could, CRACK! The sound of a gun going off. Robin looked around trying to see what was going on but before he found hope, all of the color in his face was lost when he say Myra laying on the ground with a bullet wound to the shoulder. "Not much of a fight you put up boy." The man said and before Robin could react, a crowbar smashed over his head. His last view was of the men dragging Myra's hurt body out of the room, then all turnes black.
