Crisis on Earth-Prime (an Arrowverse novel)

Chapter 34: Collapsed

            I woke up from another nightmare, where I got the same scary visions and woke up in a cold sweat.

The Nazi swastika kept appearing, as well as the double bolted S's on various locations around Dubai. For a nanosecond I thought it was Earth-X because of the state that universe was in but I began to realize that it wasn't Earth-X but perhaps Earth-Prime, because all the people I cared about, my family, my friends, all were in that dream.

Dawoud was lying lifeless on the floor, bleeding profusely while I buried him while crying because I had just lost my little brother. Laurel was being tortured along with Fazza, and then there was another vision where I saw Fazza's evil doppelganger, looking at me with evil menacing eyes, telling me that I could not stop what was coming.

That was when I realized I needed to get up and do some research because these dreams did not feel like dreams at all. It was almost as if they were memories but memories I could not recall for myself. I had no recollection of anything that was happening, or what happened.

My Cry also awoke at the oddest time, and literally after Dawoud lost his.

I got up and went to the kitchen and saw my mom drinking some tea.

"You're up?"

"Yeah, couldn't sleep. Just thinking these Nazis are on their way here to invade is enough for me to stay awake."

"Where's Dawoud?"

"Working with Lyla Michaels and her husband John Diggle so that the suits for Superman and Supergirl are done faster. We only have a day before these warships reach the Emirates."

"I want you to go stay with Lois and Clark at their farm, in Smallville. I have a feeling things are going to get ugly and I don't want you getting caught in the middle."

"I wish I could but I can't. I can't leave you and your brother here, alone."

"But things can get ugly" I said.

"Yes, but I can't. I left you and your brother and even though it was for your protection, I can't do that again. Not after everything you both have been through, especially Dawoud."

"He misses his family on Earth-2 but I think as painful as that is for him, he has given up on ever trying to go back. He misses his aunt Martha."

"Well, I might have some news that might give him some comfort."

"What kind of news?"

"My sister, she's alive."

"Wait, our Martha?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"She was kidnapped by Lex and was holding her hostage when he found out Clark was Superman and had used a doppelganger of hers to make him and all of us believe she had died of a stroke. But that was not her."

"Where is she?"

"She's in Mexico, but since Lex is no longer a threat and he's been banished to the Phantom Zone and also no longer remembers Clark's identity, everyone is home free."

"For the moment. He might try and escape."

"Let's hope he doesn't."

After conversing with my mom, I breached myself to Central City, at S.T.A.R. Labs where Lyla and Caitlyn were working on Superman's and Supergirl's suits. I saw Dawoud working on the computer and then saw the tension that was as clear as day between him and Clark.
