Artemis falls asleep and heads off to dreamland.
"Where am I?" Artemis says as she has smoke around her legs.
"Babe," a familiar voice comes from behind her.
"Wally?" Artemis turns around.
"Why did you let me do it?" Wally appears in front of her.
"Do what?"
"Why did you let me die? You should have stopped me, if you stopped me we would still be together."
"No, it was your choice, you know I would have killed you myself if you lived," Artemis argues.
"Why didn't you stop me?" Wally repeats.
"No," Artemis says as other Wallys start appearing around her.
"Dick, Artemis is having a nightmare," Freda's voice comes through his room as red lights blink.
Dick jumps up and rushes into Artemis' room where the lights turn on automatically.
"Artemis!" Dick says.
"That's not true!" Artemis screams.
"Artemis!" Dick repeats.
"No!" Artemis sits up.
"It's okay, it was just a dream," Dick says walking over to her.
"He asked why I let him do it?" Artemis starts crying.
"It was just a dream," Dick repeats.
"He asked why I let him die," Artemis continues.
"It was just a nightmare, the real Wally wouldn't say that, he wouldn't make you feel guilty. You know it was his choice," Dick puts his arm around her frightened body.
"Where's Brucely? He usually comes after a nightmare," Artemis asks.
"My assistant took him to the vet, we will see him tomorrow," Dick says.
"Here is some lavender, it is shown to help calm you down and sleep better," Freda says as the bedside table drawer opens up.
"How smart is your apartment?"
"Same tech as Mount Justice," Dick says.
"Will you stay with me, until I fall asleep?" Artemis asks taking some lavender out of the drawer and closing it.
"Of course, Freda, extra bed," Dick says.
Artemis puts the piece of lavender under her pillow and lays down.
"Try to get some sleep, I'll be right here," Dick says sitting on the bed that came out of the wall.
Artemis smiles and closes her eyes.
"Freda, light off," Dick says as he lays down.
