"Come on", said Nosedive instinctively, "Let's go find out what's going on".

"Lets not", said Thrash, "Those people are getting mugged we'd be idiots to go there. Let's just call the police instead."

"There wouldn't be enough time", said Mookie shortly, "Come on, what goes around comes around, so if we're heroic now then maybe some mystic guardian will help me clean up the mess in the store."

Nosedive tossed and turned in his sleep. "No", he groaned. However the memory continued.

Mugger- "Do you like booze kid?"

Nosedive- "Man leave me alone, come on quit it."

Mugger- "I like beer."

~**~

WildWing was still awake for it was only ten thirty; Nosedive had called it quits early for today, saying he was tired.

"You guys hear that", asked WildWing lowering the volume on the T.V.

"Is that Nosedive", asked Canard.

"Sounds like he's in pain or something", said Duke, "But that can't be him can it?"

~**~

Mugger-"Do you like booze kid? You never answered me".

Nosedive- "NO! Leave my friends alone!"

Mugger- "Try some".

Nosedive started to moan more loudly, causing WildWing and the others to get up.

~**~

It was the worst part, the man forced fed Nosedive the liquor, quick shots of it continued in his dream. Then he saw darkness but the voices continued and then he dreamt of the horror of those gathering men feasting their beliefs opun him.

Nosedive started screaming in fear, and tossed in his sheets violently.

"Nosedive", called out WildWing entering the room, "Everything okay?"

He found his brother screaming in terror, and tossing aggressively back and forth in the bed. WildWing rushed over to Nosedive.

"Nosedive wake up!"

More screaming, this time it was louder and bloodcurdling. It scared the living daylights out of WildWing, what could his little brother possibly be dreaming of that was terrifying him so much?

"NOSEDIVE".

WildWing reached over to his brother and shook him, "Nosedive wake up!"

The others stared in astonishment and apprehension.

"He's not waking up", cried WildWing.

"Shake him harder", said Duke getting worried.

"Nosedive", cried WildWing once more, "Nosedive wake up!"

He shook his brother once more, but this time it was not gently it was more severe.

"Nosedive", screamed WildWing, "Wake up!"

Finally Nosedive woke up, drenched in sweat, worried beyond all belief. He took in quick short heavy breaths. The light had not been turned on, causing Nosedive to scream loudly. From Nosedive's point of view it was like he was blind once again.

Nosedive keeping his eyes shut, as if he was protecting them from the bottle. Nosedive screamed yet again, and started wrestling with his sheets.

He fell out of his bed because of it, and then backed up against the wall, swinging his hands in the air wildly. WildWing ran up to his brother trying to harness him, but was forced to duck for Nosedive would not be reasoned with and continued to scream and punching imaginary targets.

Grin this time stepped in and held the teenager's arms preventing any further damage.

Nosedive in response slumped down the floor, completely collapsing, but still screaming. Grin however still had a tight grasp on his arms.

WildWing ran over to the two struggling, as Canard turned on the light.

"NOSEDIVE", screamed WildWing.

WildWing rushed over to his brother and embraced him. Nosedive fought back, but WildWing was stronger now, and expected the throws. Nosedive pounded on his brother, (of course unknowingly that his victim was his brother), but WildWing responded by holding him tighter strangling his arms causing him to stop. Despite the lights being turned on, Nosedive's eyes were shut.

"Nosedive", said WildWing, "Calm down, open your eyes! It's me Dive."

Nosedive was too upset to listen so instead he started to cry hysterically in agony.

WildWing fed up with his brother's misery took his thumbs and pressed his brother's eyes, causing Nosedive to blink and then realize his surroundings.

WildWing helped his brother sit up.

"Bad dream?"

Nosedive nodded and continued the same breathing pattern, as he curled his legs up.

"You want to talk about it?"

Nosedive shook his head no.

"Well I think maybe you should."

Again Nosedive shook his head no.

"Nosedive maybe I, we can help."

Once again Nosedive shook his head.

"What were you dreaming about than?"

Once more there was silence from the teenager.

The others sat down on the opposing bed, as WildWing tried to reason with his brother.

"What were you dreaming about Nosedive", asked WildWing only this time more strictly.

Nosedive looked away and remained silent.

"Dive", said WildWing gently placing a hand on his brother's shoulder, "Talk to me."

Instead of confessing his nightmare, Nosedive started to silently cry, but nonetheless he was crying and tears started to cascade down his face.

"Aw Dive", said WildWing sliding over to his brother's spot on the floor.

He scooped his younger sibling up and rocked him gently. Nosedive in return put his head into his brother's chest and started to cry louder.

"Nosedive", said WildWing, "I can't help you if you don't tell me what's going on."

The more WildWing talked the more upset Nosedive seemed.

"Dive you're scaring me", said WildWing, "What's going on?"

The others stared in the awkward silence.

Nosedive once more shook his head, unable to speak.

"Does this have anything to do with you getting mugged", swallowed WildWing softly.

This time Nosedive nodded his head, and started to cry loudly.

WildWing drew his brother closer.

"Okay okay, It's okay Nosedive you just cry it out. But know that nothing is going to happen to you, especially with me right here."

"It was so real", whispered Nosedive finally. "It was like it was happening again."

WildWing glanced at the others for reassurance on what to do. However they shrugged their shoulders in sympathy and uncertainty.

"You want to go back to sleep", asked WildWing.

"NO!"

"Why don't we all go inside in the living room and watch some re-runs on T.V.", suggested Tanya.

"Okay", said WildWing, "That sounds like a good idea." Then towards Nosedive, "That okay with you Dive?"

Nosedive nodded.

"Good", said Duke, "I'll get us some drinks, hot coco right kid?"

Again Nosedive nodded.

"I'll get some snacks", offered Mallory.

Duke and Mallory headed out the door. Grin followed.

"Come on Dive", said WildWing, "Let's go."

Nosedive nodded and got off his brother's lap but stumbled onto the floor grasping his head.

"What's wrong", asked WildWing.

"Nosedive you okay", asked Canard.

"Yeah", muttered Nosedive lying to them, "Just lost my balance."

"Oh okay", sighed WildWing in relief. "Need some help?"

He offered his brother a hand up, which Nosedive took.

The three walked out toward the living room.

But Nosedive didn't "just lose his balance"; he lost his sight for a moment and then replaced it with a mugger. But Nosedive thinking he his head was playing tricks on him thought nothing more it. Blew it off as a memory from the dream.

If only he hadn't.
