'You aren't strong enough kitten.You will never be strong enough. You won't win this war.' A voice hissed around me. It showed me all of my friends standing tall and ready for battle. Natasha, Clint, Tony, Bruce, Maria, Phil, Nick, and Steve.
'Because of you they all fell. Natasha didn't have enough time to train on her own and she was caught off guard.' The voice says showing me a image of Natasha being stabbed from behind. I heard her echoed cries of pain.
'Clint was in shock from watching Natasha fall.' It continues showing me Clint being shot and the light drain out of his eyes.
'Tony was in his lab trying to track you down. He was drunk and grieving.' A photo of Tony being shot as well his brandy falling from his hand.
'Bruce couldn't get angry he was grieving you as well.' Bruce's throat was slit.
'Maria, Phil and Nick were captured and tortured until they died horrifically.' Images of their bruised and battered bodies lay slumped on the ground.
'And your beloved Steve. He laid himself in the line of fire and begged to be killed.' The voice cackled as I tore myself from the dream.
Sitting up in the bed I felt sweat running down my back and my forehead.
"Vistianna! It's okay. You're safe. It was just a nightmare." Dick says holding me to his chest as I tremble. "Do you want to talk about it?" He asks me as he runs his fingers through my hair.
"Nope." I chuckle dryly. "What time is it?" I ask him as I clear my throat.
"About seven o'clock. About time to get up anyways. Come on go hit the shower and maybe we can go and spar?" He suggests with a smirk.
"Sounds like a splendid idea!" I say excitedly. Leaping from the bed I hurry into the shower.
As I shower I remember one of my regular songs on my favorites playlist. Nightingale by Demi Lovato
I can't sleep tonight
Wide awake and so confused
Everything's in line
But I am bruised
I need a voice to echo
I need a light to take me home
I kinda need a hero
Is it you?
I never see the forest for the trees
I could really use your melody
Baby I'm a little blind
I think it's time for you to find me
Can you be my nightingale?
Sing to me
I know you're there
You could be my sanity
But bring me peace
Sing me to sleep
Say you'll be my nightingale
Somebody speak to me
Cause I'm feeling like hell
Need you to answer me
I'm overwhelmed
I need a voice to echo
I need a light to take me home
I need a star to follow
I don't know
I never see the forest for the trees
I could really use your melody
Baby I'm a little blind
I think it's time for you to find me
Can you be my nightingale?
Sing to me
I know you're there
You could be my sanity
But bring me peace
Sing me to sleep
Say you'll be my nightingale
I don't know what I'd do without you
Your words are like a whisper cutting through
As long as you are with me here tonight
I'm good
Can you be my nightingale?
Feels so close
I know you're there
Oh, nightingale
You sing to me
I know you're there
'Cause baby you're my sanity
You bring me peace
Sing me to sleep
Say you'll be my nightingale
