Here is the much requested sequel to the Miss Freeze Chronicles. Okay, so
it wasn't much requested. Warning: This chapter might be a wee bit
disturbing for young readers.
Disclaimer: X-Men are not mine, but Andrew is!
Chapter One
Dream Haunting
What the professor failed to mention about Andrew Joyner was the fact that his powers were not limited to killing when he invaded dreams. If he wanted, he could have to believe you were married to the person of your dreams, or that you had aced that math quiz you've been sweating about. And now that he had Kurt's holowatch, he could impersonate anyone he wanted while disturbing dreams. It was this petty mischief that Nightmare wanted to play on the X-Men students tonight.
He mentally scanned the Institute to make sure everyone was asleep. There were to people still roaming the halls, a burly Canadian thinking about Danger Room sessions, and a young man with an appetite.
"No matter," Andrew told himself. "Neither of their abilities can hinder my work tonight."
Andrew mentally flittered through the minds of the sleeping X-Men.
"This should be fun," he told himself as he floated into the dreams of one Scott Summers.
In his dream, Scott and Jean were sitting in a row boat on a beautiful lake, talking about the future.
"How many kids do you want to have when you're married?" Dream Scott asked as he pulled gently at the oars.
"Oh, I don't know," Dream Jean mused, twiddling her red locks around her fingers. "Maybe three."
"Wow. That many?"
"Mmhmmm."
"With Duncan Mathews?" Dream Scott asked slyly.
"I don't think so," Dream Jean sniffed. "I might not have met my man yet."
A tall, handsome young man appeared along the bank. Andrew Joyner with the holowatch.
"Who's that?" Dream Scott asked suspisciously.
"Whoa," Dream Jean whispered as the tall stranger stripped to his waist and waded out into the dream lake. The stranger waved to Dream Jean, causing her to blush.
"Maybe thats him," she said wistfully as she climbed out of the boat and slid into the shallow water.
"Jean, no!" Dream Scott warned as Dream Jean waded through the water and threw herself into the stranger's arms.
The tall stranger smirked and walked onto the bank, Dream Jean hanging on him like a schoolgirl.
"No!" Scott cried, waking up just as the stranger in the dream kissed Dream Jean.
Scott looked around his room.
"It was just a dream," he muttered before he went back to sleep.
Nightmare snickered to himself as he looked for another victim. The boy he had impersonated in Scott's dream was on the football team at Bayville High. Now Scott would try to do everything in his power to keep Jean away from that boy.
Nightmare floated down to the dreams of Katherine Pryde.
Dream Kitty was skipping down the halls of the Bayville Mall, a thousand dollars in her wallet and a smile on her face. As she skipped up to one of her favorite clothing stores, she saw a muscular young man blocking her way.
"Like, can you please move?" Dream Kitty asked the boy. "I like, want to shop here."
The massive youth didn't move.
"Like, come on!" Dream Kitty fussed. "Get out of my way!"
The man moved this time, he wrapped his enormous hands around Kitty's thin waist and heaved her over his shoulder and started walking away.
"Like, put me down you beast!" Dream Kitty screamed, kicking at her captor. "I was like, so on a shopping high! Heeellp!"
The man didn't speak, but kept walking till he was out of the mall and headed down the street.
"Like, where are we going?" Dream Kitty hollered. "Like, put me down now!"
The giant was walking towards the Brotherhood house now.
"No! Stop!" Kitty screamed as the Brotherhood boys surrounded her laughing and jeering at her predicament.
The giant dumped her on the ground in front of her tormentors and they began throwing mud and rocks at her.
Dream Kitty tried to phase throw the missiles but still managed to get hit more than once.
"Like, stop it!" she screamed.
The dream Brotherhood boys laughed and mocked her.
"Like, stop it!"
"Like, like, like, like, like," the dream Toad snickered, dancing around her.
Kitty woke up screaming. She glanced furtively around her room. The Brotherhood weren't here.
Kitty breathed a sigh of relief and laid back down on her bed. She sat up immediately as a sharp pain shot through her left shoulder.
"What the?" she muttered as she felt her sore shoulder. She had been struck there in her dream but that didn't mean it really happened did it?
Kitty sucked in her breath as her shoulder throbbed under her touch, blood soaking her finger tips. She gasped and crawled out of her bed and ran down the hall towards the bathroom to wash her wound.
Andrew smiled to himself. "That should be enough for one night," he thought as he drew his mind out of the mansion and back into his body where it sat on the warehouse floor.
Scary? I warned you!
Author's Note: What Nightmare did to Scott was kind of just to tease him, but what he did to Kitty was more to scare her.
