I got impaled! It wasn't fun

Quinn spent the night at the mountain after going on a mission, she had brought sausage but they had to create a disguise so they gave him a collar that made it look like he had black fur. She collapsed on her bed with sausage on her back.

Gotham was eerily calm, Gotham was never calm! The sky was dark with sparkling stars splattered everywhere, the air was moist and dreadfully cold so much that there was ice forming everywhere and you could see your breath normally this would be ok but it was summer. In the sky a huge purple beam shot down and blew up the school, then another hit the bank. People screamed and ran from their homes, a huge structure could be seen through the clouds it was shaped like a hexagon and it slowly descended and landed on the Wayne tower.

Quinn woke up and grabbed sausage "it was just a dream! Right?" She asked, the dog tilted his head. She got up and changed into her black shorts and a white shirt and her mask. She made her way to the kitchen but her mind was still on her dream, she grabbed an apple
"Hey guys" she muttered as she saw the team but they looked equally shaken
"Did you have a dream of Gotham being attacked?" Robin asked and her head snapped up
"Yeah... I would say it was just a dream but after you know ...I'm not sure" she said and Robin nodded in agreement
"We all had the same dream... this really isn't good" Artemis muttered just then the justice league came through the zeta tubes
"Meeting!" Batman called and they all went to the briefing room sausage and wolf close behind, those two were fast friends.

"We all had the same dream and we are guessing you did too" superman said calmly the YJ sat down in their chairs and they all looked worried but they nodded
"But it's just a dream right?" Wally said but he knew the answer
"Nope" Phoenix said petting sausage "I had a dream that came true... that came true the next day, I don't know about this one though"
The heroes nodded and then Barry clapped his hands
"Now seen as we still haven't figured this out I just want to pause for a second and say
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHOENIX!" He cried and pulled out a board game
"No way trivial pursuits! I will destroy you on this!" She cried and Barry scoffed
"Ok my turn!" Victor/cyborg cried and pulled out a tool box
"Yes! It's the newest multipurpose screwdriver! Oh my god these are some of the best tools!" She squealed and hugged victor and Barry
"Yeah well my gift is awesome" Arthur said indignantly and he pulled out a book and Quinn flipped through the pages
"It's all Larry! Awww him on his first birthday and then his second!" She sighed and gave the Atlantean a hug Clark then handed her a cloak
"I know you like the Septimus Heap books and so I got you a cloak like they would have worn!" He said and Quinn grinned and placed it around her, it was dark red velvet material and it had a big hood
"Thanks! You know I'm never taking this off?" She said and Clark laughed and Diana came up and handed Quinn two knives "they're the best you can get, happy birthday kiddo" Quinn grinned and gave her a hug.
"And the best bow and arrow set in star city" Oscar said and Quinn loaded an arrow and hit a fly that had been buzzing around, and the arrow lodged its self in the wall behind
"Nice shot" Oscar complemented. And last but not least Martian Manhunter handed her a model of the human heart
"Noice!" She said grinning and disconnected the main artery.

"We need to figure this out" Batman said and the gift exchange stopped
"Yeah sorry batsy.... first we need to figure out who's sending these dreams" Phoenix said  collapsing in her seat playing with her new daggers everyone nodded in agreement
"Well is it magic or science?" Conner asked and Manhunter inhaled "well I think it was science... I can't find any traces of magic. I need to figure out where the signal is coming from, that will require someone to dream it"
Quinn exhaled and ran a hand through her hair.
"Ok do me and make it snappy I have to go home soon" she said and Manhunter nodded, she was taken the sofa and told she had to dream then wake up before they could enter her mind.

The JL and YJ sat on the other sofas or the floor, superman and black canary sat by Quinn ready for when she woke up.
"Ok I'm putting a movie on" KF declared and turned on 'Halloween' everyone watched the movie in silence when Quinn screamed in her sleep
"Wally turn down the volume! Canada could hear that scream" Artemis scolded
"I don't remember a scream being there" superboy frowned. The YJ turned to see the justice league fussing over Phoenix.
"Hey Phoenix, it's ok! calm down you're at the mountain" superman man said but she was still shaking and hyperventilating, her eyes were glazed over and she didn't seem to register anything, sausage was trying to snap her out of it but nothing worked.
"Phoenix!" Aquaman cried Robin rushed towards her and whispered
"Quinn wake up! You need to wake up" her eyes seemed to focus but she didn't stop shaking and her breathing was still rapid, she hugged the closest person to her which was Barry. He rocked her and tried to comfort her
"Hey! Shhhh it's ok you're fine. It was just a dream" he said and she cried into his shoulder. They stayed like that until she was asleep and cyborg grabbed her a pillow and blanket.
"What the hell was that?!" Artemis Exclaimed and green arrow shushed her before answering "She gets night terrors... tragic really" and the young justice sighed
"So do we... do we get j'onn to send her into the dream?" Flash asked
"She wanted to do it so... yeah" Batman said and Manhunter nodded placing his hands on her head and closed his eyes.


Quinn was in an alleyway in Gotham why? she didn't know, She tried to think about the last thing she remembered but nothing came to mind, all she knew was she was the daughter of the joker and Harley Quinn and that she hated them... that she was broken , worthless and unloved. Nobody wanted her, Nobody loved her, she was lost and damaged.
She stood up and dusted herself off, she wore blue ripped jeans and a black off the shoulder shirt. She walked to the edge of the filthy alley and stared out into the street. There were old, abandoned shops with aged paper covering the windows, there were rubbish bins knocked over with black sacks by them torn up and a racoon's backside hanging out. The night sky was the only peaceful thing there, the stars burned brightly around the moon. She walked down the street avoiding the dead rats and tried to remember something about her life after the war, after she ran away... but nothing. Her foot kicked a guitar in the street and she crouched down to examine it, smiling she picked it up and played a beautiful melody and started to sing, her lyrics were full of emotion they were her emotions and people opened their windows to listen to the heartbreaking song about the lack of love in the world. In her world.
There was a loud bang and the sound of screaming in the distance, Quinn jumped to her feet and ran in the direction of the chaos, Idiot! What the hell am I doing?! She thought to herself as she listened to her footfalls oddly she felt colder and she could see ice forming everywhere. She skidded to a stop and gasped, in front of her was a huge, hexagonal ship it shot a purple blast from one of the corners and it hit the school sending debris everywhere, Quinn span on her heel to see a huge rock hit the building behind her she felt a soaring pain in her stomach, she looked down to see a solid metal pole embedded in her stomach, the blood dripped onto her white trainers slowly turning them a crimson red. She swallowed and fingered the pole and pulled it out and she screamed from the pain, the blood came pouring out and she gripped her stomach slowing the bleeding. The ship shot another beam at the bank which was unfortunately close by, the force of the blast flung her backwards into a wall and she cried out, a rock hit her above the eye and blood blurred her vision. Quinn gasped for air but a huge slab of rock fell from above her and she was now on the floor with the stone on her injured stomach and now broken ribs.

The heroes jumped when Phoenix screamed in pain
"Another dream?" Superboy questioned
"No that was real pain... oh my god look at her stomach!" Cyborg exclaimed and pointed at her stomach that was clad in blood
"How she's in a dream!?" M'gann pondered and Manhunter shook his head
"I don't- this isn't normal! She's been injured badly, she was impaled by a metal pole that flew off a destroyed building" he muttered and there was a gasp.
"Do we get her out?!" Kid flash asked but Manhunter shook his head
"No I've almost got the signal, stopping it now would be a mistake" Batman sighed and grabbed her hand


Quinn wriggle under the debris, she pushed with all her might and more she eventually did it and gasped as the weight was off her, she stumbled to her feet and held a protective arm around her stomach. The ship shot more and more places, first the important things then the civilian homes. Quinn rushed to the ship in the sky she climbed onto a fire escape and pulled herself onto the roof, she cried out as she hit the floor (roof) and she gripped onto things to pull herself up. The ship was now spinning sending out more blast, one hit the Wayne manor and her heart dropped for some reason it gave her great sadness she didn't know why but it was like she had lost her brother all over again but more. Then a blast hit her building and it all collapsed beneath her and all she could feel was immense pain but she couldn't even scream.

"I got the signal! It's coming from... somewhere in the country side?! It's close though" Manhunter declared and the heroes jumped up
"Get her out! Before she gets hurt more" green arrow cried Manhunter nodded and removed his hands
"It will be slo-" he started but Phoenix's eyes snapped open and she screamed and tears ran down her face, she coughed and blood came out.
"Not another punctured lung that's three times now!" Flash cried before he joined the others in fussing.
"No! N-n-n-no!" Quinn cried trying to sit up but she yelped from the pain
"Hey you're ok... just injured" superman said "we need to take her to the infirmary"
Flash and Kid flash took an arm each and practically dragged her to the med bay, Manhunter pulled up her shirt slightly to reveal the puncture wound and it was a bloody mess
"My god she pulled it out!" Green arrow cried, Manhunter checked to see if there was any vital organs damaged then her stitches her up and bandaged her abdomen, he then checked her other wounds.
Manhunter walked out "she'll be fine, she's sleeping at the moment... when she wakes up I suggest you take her home and let her rest oh and get her some more clothes, ones she's wearing are covered in blood" he advised before leaving to clean up. The JL left, all of them worried Robin left to tell his brothers and Batman went to the kitchen where the YJ were
"Is she ok!!" M'gann asked and Batman nodded
"Yeah she'll be at home for a little while though" he explained before taking some peanut butter and oranges from the kitchen
"Uhh what are you making?" Aqualad asked confused
"It's Phoenix's favourite food mix... I know it's weird but she's like that" he explained a small smile on his face shocking the teens not knowing he could smile.
