SuperCorp Chronicles

Chapter 118

When Supergirl, Dreamer and the newly renamed Riptide arrived at the scene, they found a woman who looked familiar to Dreamer and even wearing a similar to hers but the inverse of it. It switched out the blue/silver color scheme for a red/black color scheme, since in the areas were Dreamer's suit was blue, the woman's outfit was red and silver was black. She was even wearing a mask identical to the one Dreamer wore, only hers was red.

"I only want the Dreamer. The rest of you have no business here." the woman said.

"Wrong, you trash my city, you deal with me." Supergirl said, only to be sent flying back by a blast of what Dreamer could've sworn was a red version of dream energy.

"And I don't care. I want the Dreamer." the woman said.

"Well, here I am. What do you want? Who are you?" Dreamer asked as she got in an attack position.

"I'm everything you are, except exactly the opposite and twice as strong. I am Nightmare and I'm going to give you one you'll never wake up from." Nightmare introduced herself before she blasted Dreamer, who managed to counter it with a blast of her own dream energy, their red and blue energy blasts clashing together, but while Nightmare was strong, she was still inexperienced, while Dreamer had been training for years and managed to overpower her opponent.

"I thought the Nightmare was just that. A scary story used to tell Naltorian kids to make them behave." Dreamer said.

"Oh no, I am quite real, though you're going to wish I wasn't." Nightmare snarled as she attempted to blast Dreamer again, only for her to conjure up a dream energy shield while Riptide went on the offensive and used his water bearers and the pack he kept on his back to send a torrent of water at Nightmare as the same time Supergirl returned from the attack and also blasted Nightmare with her heat vision, forcing her back.

Recognizing that she was clearly outmatched, since while Dreamer was one thing, Nightmare knew she stood no chance against the combined might of her, Supergirl and an Atlantean, Nightmare sighed.

"This isn't over Dreamer. Next time, it will be just us. And you'll never see me coming." Nightmare said as she conjured up a portal of red dream energy.

"What is that?" Supergirl asked.

"It looks like a portal to the dream realm. Maybe I can follow her." Dreamer said, but Supergirl stopped her as the portal closed after Nightmare jumped through it.

"Don't. We don't know enough about this Nightmare yet and you've never attempted to access the Dream Realm like that before and trust me, now is not the right time to start messing around with a power you've never used. Especially since Nightmare seems to have some kind of proficiency with it." Supergirl said and Dreamer nodded, knowing her team leader was right.

"There was something familiar about Nightmare though, I just can't place it." Dreamer said.

"We'll figure it out. But this does make it even more important that we complete Sasha's training as quickly as possible for when she comes back, since we both know she will be back." Supergirl said.

"I'll make it one of my top priorities. Though she does have a life and so do I." Dreamer said.

"And I'd be happy to assist in training Sasha in any way I can." Riptide said.

"We'll see." Dreamer said, still in overprotective sister mode.

"Whoa, down girl." Supergirl said with a chuckle.

Short chapter, but this is all for the Dreamer Arc, but don't worry, Nightmare will return. I just want to move the focus to other places for now. The next Arc will travel to Palermo City to see what Alex and Felicity have been up to. Hope you like it.
