You were with Dick and Damian in the tv room. Dick was making Damian watch Disney movies and you joined cause you just genuinely liked Disney. However, have way through the movie 'Up', you fell asleep with your head on Dick's shoulder and your legs on Damian's lap.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Laughter could be heard from all over. You knew this laughter. You started shaking.

"N-no no...go away!"

"You think you have a say in what I do....how pathetic." He grinned, literally, from ear to ear.

"What do you want!?" You tried to stay strong. This all felt so real.

"All I want...is for you to suffer little girl." He laughed evilly.

"Why, Joker?" You asked the psychopathic broccoli haired man.

"Cause it's fun to watch." He shrugged like it was nothing.

Suddenly, Jason appeared right behind Joker. He was tied to a chair, his head hanging and his hair covering his face.

"You really grew close to your family..,haven't you?" Joker teased.

"No! Jason! Let him go!" You hissed.

You heard coughing coming from the side and turned to see Dick chained to the wall. His feet hanging above the ground and his hands bound high up. His black hair covered his face just like Jason.

"Such a shame." The mad man continued speaking.

Something caught your eye when you saw Dick and you looked up. Bruce and Damian were hanging from the roof by a rope. They were just hanging there, no movement. Their faces bright red from all the blood rushing to their heads.

"You should have stayed away, (y/n)."

You risked glancing behind you and saw Tim strapped to a table. The table had a lot of cables though and once in a while you saw static coming from the wires.

"You should have stayed away." You looked back towards Joker and saw him with (don't kill me) a crowbar raised above his head. He was right in front of you now. Barely an inch between you two. You took a big step back in fright.

"Nighty night, little girl." Joker slammed the crowbar to the side of your head and you went flying. You flew through a window, breaking it. You fell down the side of the tall building, you could feel yourself falling. Just before you came in contact with the ground, you—-

~.~.~.~.~.~

You jerked from your spot, you felt light headed and scared but you looked around and saw you were in your bed.

You didn't like this dream.

This nightmare. 

*2 weeks later*

Every night you've had a nightmare. It always involved Joker and your family somehow. Some were where your family was teamed up with Joker and others were where they were brutally killed by Joker.

You would avoid sleep as much as possible. The boys noticed.

"Hey, why haven't you been sleeping lately?" Tim asked you one day during breakfast with the other kids, as he took a sip from his coffee.

"Not tired." You shrugged but you're body betrayed you as you found yourself suddenly fighting a huge yawn. (I actually yawned when I typed yawn 🙈).

"Not tired? You are a horrible liar, (L/n). You should work on that." Damian scoffed.

"What's up? What's the real reason you haven't been sleeping?" Dick asked, his voice laced with concern from his seat across from you.

Your shoulders slumped in defeat. You felt the fear creep up your spine as the memories of the nightmares resurfaced.

"I know that look." Jason said as he chewed his food. Tim looked disgusted by it. "You've been having nightmares every night, haven't you?"

"Maybe." Your voice cracked as you kept your stare on your plate of food.

"What are they about?" Tim asked. Tim put a comforting hand on your shoulder since he was sitting next to you.

So you told them all about the nightmares. When you mentioned the crowbar, Jason and Dick looked very uncomfortable and angry.

"If you have another nightmare...just come to us. Okay?" Dick said.

*Later that night*

You shot up into a sitting position in your bed as you panted, sweat layering your body. You were trying to calm your beating heart. This nightmare was the worst yet.

It was of you and Joker had kidnapped you. Joker had tortured you. When he was done and left the room, your brothers emerged from the shadows. They began calling you hurtful names and beating you. But that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was: you snapped. You had snapped and broke free from the chains and one by one you killed your family right before Joker shot you.

You took your blankets off of you and swung your legs to the side of the bed before getting up. You snuck out your room. One by one you went to your brothers' rooms but they weren't there. Finally, you went to Bruce's room but he wasn't there either. You checked his bedside clock.

2:06 AM.

Where were they? You decided to just go sleep in the lounge. You went back to your room and grabbed your blanket and pillows. You took them down stairs and made a little bed for yourself on the couch. You climbed in and soon enough you fell asleep though you were very worried about your family.

*one and a half hours later*

The batgang walked out from Bruce's office one after the other. They were all sore from tonight's patrol. As they rounded the corner that lead to the stairway, they heard whimpering. They shared a look before going into ninja mode and following the sound.

When they got closer they just saw it was you on the couch and they could tell that you were having another nightmare.

"Should we wake her up?" Tim asked.

"No, I feel that would be pointless." Damian said as he crossed his arms. He knew what these nightmares could be like sometimes.

"Let's just leave her." Jason yawned before walking to his room. Soon everyone else followed and went to their own rooms.

But not even 15 minuets later, Jason left his room with his bedding and set up a bed for himself on the floor by the couch you were sleeping on.

5 minuets after he had done that, Dick came with his blanket and set up a spot for him to sleep on the one seater couch.

Soon after Damian came down but he hadn't brought anything. When he got their Dick just told him to crawl in next to you. He wasn't gonna do it til Dick said that 'he'd be protecting her the most if he did'.

Tim came down soon enough too. He set up a spot near Jason but not too close.

Everyone was out like a light.

*the next morning*

The click of a camera could be heard but you didn't care. You held Damian tighter in your arms and smiled. You knew the boys were there, you had heard them while they came to sleep here with you. You hadn't had a nightmare afterwards.

You genuinely love these boys so much and you'd do anything for them.
