Jessa couldn't sleep. She was curled up on the couch, her eyes wide open. The girl was cuddled up against the arm of the couch. Jess waited for hours and hours until she began to drift off to sleep. She was trying to fight it, but it eventually conquered her. She began to dream soon after. She began to cry softly in her sleep, her nightmares torturing her.
"AHHH! PLEASE! PLEASE I PROMISE I'LL BE BETTER! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" she shrieked.
The girl flailed about and tumbled off the couch. She pulled her legs to her chest as she awoke. She woke in a cold sweat, her heart racing. A figure came out of the shadows and reached out a hand. She shrieked as the hand touched her shoulder.
"Hush child."
Jessamyn breathed out a sigh. It was just Black Canary. The blonde woman was staring at the younger girl with concern.
"Are you all right?" she asked. "I heard you screaming."
"Yes…" Jess said exhaling. "I was just having a nightmare."
The two heroines began to talk and didn't hear the intruder slip inside.
Megan could feel Jess's tension. In her sleep, Jess had been at her weakest. She could feel the terror, and she saw her dream. She saw a man hitting Jessamyn and Jess trying to fight back. Megan saw an intruder slip past her door way and she got up. She came out of the door, and ran into Superboy's room.
"Conner! Conner! There's someone here!" Megan said shaking the clone.
Conner sat up and shot up as a yell sounded out. Jess's head snapped up and she whispered, "Robin."
Conner and Megan ran out of the room and darted down the hall. They could hear the Boy Wonder yelling, and suddenly Wally's voice joined Robin's.
"WHO THE HELL—"
"Watch it—"
"Sorry Rob."
"WHERE IS SHE?"
Jess felt her stomach plummet as she ran over to Megan and Conner, Canary following behind.
"It's him! It's him! He's come back for me!" Jess cried.
Megan looked at Jess, and looked away. She flew away from them, slowly turning herself into Jessamyn. The Martian had disguised herself as Jess. Robin and Wally looked at her and screamed, "GET OUT OF HERE JESS!"
"It's not Jess…it's Megan."
"Megan?"
"What the hell are you doing? He'll attack you!"
Megan smiled as Jess. That was the point. The Martian was trying to drive his attention to her, and away from the boys and the actual Jessamyn. Soon, Megan, Wally, Robin, and the man were playing a deadly game of hide and go seek.
Canary had escorted Jess out, Aqualad and Artemis still trying to make sense of it all. Kaldur listened to Jess's frantic breathing. Jess stuck close to Artemis, who was gritting her teeth, wondering what was going on…
And who exactly was winning the hide and go seek game.
