A Foiled Plot and Happy Ending

Dream Girl entered the room just as they broke apart. She saw Nightwing in his arms gazing into his eyes, her beautiful dark ginger hair fell to her shoulders haphazardly and her lips were parted but it only gave her an effortless beauty look. Dream Girl was well aware something had happened because the legionnaires were all whooping and hugging the couple. Lightning Lad was getting drunker with each passing minute until he stumbled over and sloppily kissed a stunned Nightwing in congratulations. The legionnaires roared with laughter and Nightwing gave him a hug.

"What's going on?" Dream Girl asked walking over to Cham. Cham gave her a mischievous look "well" he said drawing out the tension "Brainiac just announced he was going to marry Nightwing". Dream Girl paled "No! They…they can't" she angrily marched over to the couple who were accepting Cosmic Boy's blessings and wonderings as to whether they'll stay with the legion. Without thinking, she shoved Nightwing hard; sending the other girl flying-fortunately Cosmic Boy caught her before she had gotten hurt-reached up and pulled a stunned Brainiac Five down into a long, forceful kiss.

Brainiac was struggling to get away but didn't want to hurt the girl. Cosmic Boy however had no such qualms. He set a very shocked Nightwing onto the couch (all the female legionnaires quickly rushed to comfort her) marched over and pulled the unrelenting Dream Girl off of the struggling Brainiac and threw her in the ground. Chameleon Boy, Brainiac Five, Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Timber Wolf and Lightning Lad were glaring at her. "What. Do. You. Think. You're. Doing?" he asked through gritted teeth, having somehow sobered quickly.

Dream Girl looked up at them and the rest of the legionnaires who were glaring. She did the only thing that came to mind: Cry. Maybe they'd pity her and forgive her if she shed tears. She began crying but the legionnaires were unrelenting.

"I-I-I love him!" she sobbed trying a new attempt "I just had to kiss him before I lost my chance completely!" it was working on Nightwing who was looking at her sadly. Saturn Girl narrowed her eyes, "you're lying" she said "you were attempting to lure Brainy away from Nightwing with a kiss."

The legion gasped and Nightwing paled "I-I-is this true Nura?" she said heartbroken at the betrayal. Although she'd known about it, she hadn't actually believed it.

Dream Girl looked up surprise flitting across her face which was quickly replaced with false confusion "I-I don't…I don't know what you mean" she said through her tears. Saturn Girl's eyes narrowed "you forget…I read minds" she hissed.

Lightning Lad glared at her, "you are a con woman through and through Dream Girl" he hissed "first my parents, now Nightwing. You enjoy conning the innocent" he glanced at the hurt and betrayal on Nightwing's tear-stained face and the shock and anger on Brainiac's.

"I love him" Dream Girl murmured brokenly.

Something clicked in Nightwing as she looked at the blonde Naltorian lying on the ground. She felt her heart go out to the girl. Maybe she had tried to break up her relationship and okay, maybe she HAD kissed her fiancé, but she was just a girl hopelessly in love with a man who was already taken. The legionnaires were shouting at her, calling her names and glaring at her. She could feel the hatred directed towards the precog and she didn't like it.

"Stop!" she shouted as she flew towards the sobbing girl. She put her arms around her. "Stop, please, don't you see? She's just a girl in love. Okay, I admit, she went about it the wrong way and I didn't appreciate it but she's in love" Nightwing glared up at the legionnaires defiantly. Dream Girl looked at her in shock. This was the last person Nura had thought would fall for her tears. It made Nura rethink her actions; Nightwing was so selfless that she flew to the aid of the girl who kissed her fiancé. It isn't fair Nura thought bitterly.

Brainiac came over; favoring Nura with a dark look he took his fiancée by the hand and pulled her up, one arm wrapped possessively around her slender waist. He pulled her into a long kiss effectively marking her as his. Dream Girl glared at the couple and flew away into the night...

AN: Cliffhanger ending ;) who knows, if this gets good reviews maybe I'll continue.
