M'gann looked at her three unconscious teammates who were hooked up to machines monitoring their vitals. Each one of them had started to beat rapidly. M'gann eyed them with concern. Robin and Artemis walked into the room.
"What's the situation?" Asked Robin.
"A villain called Doctor Destiny has invaded the dreams of our teammates. I can't wake them up and their bodies seemed to be stressed out." Explained M'gann.
"So this Doctor Destiny guy invades dreams?" Asked Artemis.
"Yes." Said M'gann.
"I remember reading about this guy. He tried to kill several of the League members in their dreams. The Martian Manhunter fought Doctor Destiny in the dream world, while Batman tracked down his physical body and defeated him." Said Robin.
"Looks like were going to have to do something similar." Said Artemis.
"You guys do your search. I'll see what I can do on my end." Said M'gann as she sat down and her eyes started to glow green.
"Lets go." Said Robin as he and Armies left the room.
Robin went to one of the computers and started to look up Doctor Destiny's file.
"According to the prison records Doctor Destiny was be held up in a prison in Metropolis, until he managed to break out a month ago." Said Robin.
"Well it's a start." Said Armies.
They took a Zeta-Beam and left the mountain.
M'gann sent her conscious mind into Wally's subconscious. M'gann found Wally on his hands and knees a depressed look on his face.
"Wally?" Asked M'gann.
"I...failed. I wasn't fast enough. Queen Perdita is dead. The...team is dead. Artemis...is dead." Whispered Wally.
"Wally no one is dead. Whatever you saw wasn't real." Said M'gann as she tried to put a hand on Wally's shoulder, but her hand went right through him!
M'gann looked at her hand shocked.
"You can't do anything Martian. To him your just a ghost." Said Doctor Destiny as he appeared before M'gann.
"What did you do to him?" Demanded M'gann.
"I just showed him his a destiny, in where he failed to save Queen Perdita and then I showed all his beloved teammates get killed right before his eyes. His greatest fear is not being fast enough to save people." Said Doctor Destiny.
"You monster!" Screamed M'gann as she threw herself at the villain.
Doctor Destiny caught M'gann fist and the two of them struggled against one another. Doctor Destiny laughed as he hurled M'gann into the ground. He then raised his hand and a flaming circle appeared around the Martian.
"You honestly thought you could save your friends from me. This is my world! The only destiny for you and your friends is the one I deem for them!" Said Doctor Destiny as the flames drew closer to M'gann.
"Wally...listen to me. This is...all a dream created by this guy. Queen Perdita is alive because of you. The Team is still alive because of you. You've saved all of use on numerous occasions. Wally your speed is worthless." Said M'gann.
"Say what you like it's no use." Said Doctor Destiny.
But M'gann's word did reach Wally and they did have an effect on him. Wally looked over and saw the flames closing on M'gann.
"Not this time." Said Wally as he got to his feet and sped forward.
A gust of wind created by Wally extinguished the flames.
"What?! But how?!" Shouted Doctor Destiny.
Wally speed forward and delivered a powerful punch to the villain's face knocking him to the ground.
"I just needed a little reminding." Said Wally as he went over to M'gann and helped her up.
M'gann turned to Doctor Destiny and used her powers to probe his mind. She managed to get an image of a Star Labs sign from his mind before he pushed her out.
"Savory your little victory. This is far from over!" Snarled Doctor Destiny as he vanished.
"So what's the pan?" Asked Wally.
"I managed to get a hint of where his hiding in the real world. I'm going to tell Robin and Armies. Then were going to rescue the others." Said M'gann before she vanished from the dreamworld.
M'gann quickly grabbed her communicator and told Robin and Artemis, that Wally was safe and what she pulled from Doctor Destiny's mind.
"Alright that narrows down the search a little. You go help the others." Said Robin.
Robin and Artemis then start searching the old abandon Star Lab buildings.
M'gann returned to the dreamworld and grabbed Wally. The two of them then traveled to Connor's dream. They found themselves standing in the middle of a city. The buildings and streets were wrecked.
"Ok...this is creepy." Said Wally.
"Come on Connor has to be around here somewhere." Said M'gann.
Suddenly a building exploded and out walked Connor.
"Well that was easy." Said Wally.
Connor picked up a car and hurled it at them forcing the heroes to dodge out of the way.
"Connor why are you attacking us?" Cried M'gann.
Connor didn't answer as he hurled another car at them forcing them to dodge.
"Oh I'm afraid Connor is no longer in control of his body." Said Doctor Destiny's voice.
"Oh no. Connor's worst fear. Being used as a weapon." Said Wally.
"I know what I have to do." Said M'gann as she started to walk towards Connor.
Connor threw more cars at M'gann, but the Martian used her powers to deflect them away. In a matter of seconds she was right in front of Connor.
"Connor stop this. This isn't you. Your not a weapon your a person. You can think and care for others and I know you care about me and would never attack me." Said M'gann.
Connor swung a fist to strike at M'gann, but just when it looked like he was about strike, he stopped himself. M'gann touched his arm, making him lower it, and kissed him on the lips. After a few seconds they stopped kissing.
"Thanks." Said Connor.
"Your welcome." Said M'gann.
"So the savage beast has been tamed, how boring." Said Doctor Destiny's voice.
"Why don't you come out of hiding and I'll she you how savage I can be!" Challenged Connor.
"Oh don't worry I'll face you all soon enough." Said Doctor Destiny.
"Now we have to rescue Aqualad." Said M'gann.
The group teleported away to Aqulad's dream.
In the real world Robin and Armies had just finished searching a couple of abandon Star Lab buildings.
"Well his not hiding in the one." Said Armies as she let out a small yawn and quickly shook her head.
"Ok there's only one more lab in downtown." Said Robin.
"Oh you children are coming in for a visit? That's good you are in need of a checkup after all. Why don't you sit down and rest." Said Doctor Destiny's voice.
The heroes turned to see an image of Doctor Destiny grinning at them from a window.
"Were coming for you Destiny and when were done its you whose going to need a doctor." Said Artemis as she shot an arrow at the window destroying the image.
"Lets go." Said Robin.
The two of them headed for downtown.
M'gann, Connor, and Wally found themselves underwater, but for some reason they could still breath.
"Um...how are we breathing?" Asked Wally.
"This is a dream. This water isn't real." Explained M'gann.
"Ok." Said Wally.
They looked forward and saw Aqualad floating ahead of them with a large shark that had a skull like face.
"You failed hero. Your kingdom and friends are no more. Why don't you surrender and die?" Said the shark in Doctor Destiny's voice.
Aquualad didn't respond.
"I'll just take that as a yes." Said Doctor Destiny as he lunged forward with his mouth wide open.
Connor came in from the side and punched the shark in the face sending it flying away from Aqualad. M'gann went over to Aqualad's side, while Wally went to go help Connor fight Doctor Destiny.
"M'gann?" Asked Aqualad confused.
"It's us Kaldur'ahm. What ever you saw wasn't real. It was a dream created by a villain called Doctor Destiny." Said M'gann.
Aqualad slowly started to stand up.
Doctor Destiny faced Connor and Wally, he changed from a shark to an enormous octopus and started to swat at the heroes with his massive tentacles.
"You can't beat me! I am the master here!" Declared Doctor Destiny.
Suddenly Aqualad came flying in and slammed his fist into Doctor Destiny's head knocking the giant octopus to the ground.
"This is my dream and your not welcomed." Said Aqualad as he glared down at the villain.
Doctor Destiny transformed into his normal form and glared at the heroes. Then he closed his eyes for a second and glared back at the heroes.
"I have some other heroes to deal with right now. I'll just leave for the moment." Said Doctor Destiny has he vanished.
"Did we win?" Asked Wally.
Suddenly several copies of Doctor Destiny popped up and surrounded the heroes.
"It appears not." Said Aqualad.
"Well at least there's something for me to hit." Said Connor as he cracked his knuckles.
The heroes charged forward and started to fight the copies.
In the real world Robin and Artemis were entering the Star Lab building Doctor Destiny was in. Doctor Destiny was in his uniform complete with a skull mask crouched in the shadows with a dart gun and a syringe.
"You two shouldn't really have come here. You see the closer I am to someone the more influence I have over their minds." Called Doctor Destiny as the environment changed from a building, to a jungle, a ocean, and then a desert.
Both heroes were slightly disturbed by the display of power. Then Robin closed his eyes and the scene turned back to normal. Artemis looked around still seeing the environment rapidly change from one environment to another.
"Armies just close your eyes and relax. This isn't real. We need to stop the guy and save the team." Said Robin.
Artemis closed her eyes and the environment was back to normal.
"Impressive. But I'm not beaten yet." Said Doctor Destiny.
The two heroes continued deeper into the building. They were passing some crates, when suddenly Doctor Destiny jumped up from behind a crate and fired a dart gun at them. Robin and Artemis leaped to the side to avoid be hit. Robin threw a birdarang at Doctor Destiny and knocked the dart gun out of his hands. The villain retreated into the shadows. Robin and Armies went after him. Doctor Destiny shot out from the right and tackled Robin trying to stab him with a syringe.
"You going to take a long rest!" Snarled Doctor Destiny as he struggled to bring the needle down.
"No you are!" Shouted as she kicked Doctor Destiny off of Robin.
Doctor Destiny hit a crate with a thud and let out a gasp of pain. The syringe was sticking out of his side. Doctor Destiny starred at it in shock before falling into unconsciousness.
"It's over." Said Robin as he got up and looked at the unconscious villain.
In the dreamworld the Doctor Destiny copes vanished.
"Looks like Robin and Artemis beat him." Said M'gann.
"So we just return to our dream or something?" Asked Wally.
"Yes." Said M'gann before she vanished.
The other three heroes vanished and returned to their own dreams.
In the real world Doctor Destiny was being handed over to the authorities and Robin and Artemis were going to a nearby Zeta-Beam to return to their homes.
The End.
