Cliffhanger (if only slightly), sorry in advance!
~~
In the morning, every bad thought I had had last night was gone. It disappeared just as a large storm appeared in the city. Of course, storms were nothing new, even during the Summer, so no one was shocked, or even surprised really. In fact, it happened so often, that not a single person was even inconvenienced by this storm! Why do I even mention this storm if it doesn't mean much, do you ask? Well, because Bruce made me go on patrol alone while it was happening! Dick was out earlier, while I had slept next to Damian, but he caught some sickness because of the rain, and now I was stuck out here in the rain for another four hours! So, why not bring you guys with me on what is surely going to be a boring adventure! (Notice the sarcasm, because nothing is ever boring in this line of work).

I had gotten through about an hour, and nothing happened. At. All. I was so bored! I mean, sure, it was occasionally fun to run around on the rooftops, but usually I had someone with me to race with, or at least talk to, but now everyone was at home asleep or busy, so I couldn't talk to them, and there was no one doing anything! Ugh, villains, man, I swear! They're either so active that it's irritating and you want to kill them, or they're so inactive that you want to kill yourself! Just kidding, I've been there, and I've done that! Well, not literally of course. Do you guys see what boredom does to me?! Am I ever actually this bad? Jeez, I hope not, this is awful!
Wait, bad guy, ten o'clock!
I spun to look at whoever was running away from my idle figure, only to see them running, not away from me, but straight at me! The person (who I didn't recognize, at least not with the thick pouring rain everywhere!) jumped at me, so I ducked, and then spun to catch them, since I was right on the edge of the roof, and they basically just jumped to their death! The person however, had expected that from me, and they grabbed my ankle and pulled me down with them. Of course. I didn't bother to see who it was, but I grabbed my grapple gun and aimed at a light post, which was still on, since it was so dark out. The person grabbed my arm, and then grabbed the gun, which slightly worried me, but I (hopefully) knew what I was doing. I tried to throw the person off of me, but then I saw the sword coming at my face, so I had to do some Spider-Man move to dodge it. How long was this fall? Why was I still falling?? I nearly slapped myself when I remembered this was a dream. Of course I would still be falling, the morons in the real world probably thought this would be funny to watch! I grabbed the person's sword, then wrenched it out of their grasp, and chucked it behind me. I decided that now was the best time to see who I was up against, but I completely froze when I did. How? Why? This shouldn't have been possible. Maybe it was the rain in my eyes making e see things? I knew that was just wishful thinking though, when the person's cruel laugh met my ears.
"Surprised? You shouldn't be. I told you I would come back, and now you will pay for what you did to me. Have a nice fall!" He said, and then his body caught onto a light post, and I had hit the ground a second later.
Unfortunately, I didn't black out. I could see him jump down from the post, and stand over me.
"Oh yes, Emery, you will pay." He repeated, and then he pulled the sword off of my back (that didn't stab me because of the sheath, but I had forgotten about it during our long fall), and then aimed at my chest. If I was going to pay, why was he about to kill me? My question went unanswered, as, right as he was about to thrust the sword into me, he was kicked away, and he took my sword with him.
"Atia, are you ok?" Dick's voice said from next to me, the opposite side of where my savior disappeared.
I tried to speak, but nothing escaped my parted lips. Why couldn't I speak? Why was I having trouble breathing?? Oh, right, I fell off of a giant building, and landed on my back. Please tell me that won't have any long term effects on me, I mean, this is a dream, I shouldn't be effected.... Right?

Yes, I am going to be very cruel and end this here, and not let you know who 'he' is! Although, it should be kind of obvious, but I won't give anything away! I was going to say this book won't be as long as the first one, but I think that's a lie. I wanted to make Em wake up in this chapter, but there are so many things I actually want to do, that I don't think I can possibly contain myself to one upload a week! I may just have to change my upload schedule, but we will see how far ahead I get in the prewriting, I'm already ready for two weeks, once I finish typing this note, so I may just upload twice! Idk yet, I'll tell you guys all about it later! So, guess what I missed last week! That's right, my updates! So, since it is currently 12:02 on Sunday (for some reason I thought that meant it was Monday), I am going to grace you all with one upload a day early! I'm still not sure about the Wednesday updates, but if I do decide to do them, I will update twice on this coming Wednesday. Ahenyways, I love you all, don't stop dreaming, don't change for anyone, and I'll see you in the next chapter! BYIE!!!
