Chapter 3
M'ganns' POV
I woke up on…Mars? Why was I on Mars? When I fell asleep wasn't I on…? Hello M'gann! Who cares? You've missed Mars!
I looked around at my planet. It had been a year since I'd been here and it hadn't changed a bit. Skies just as blue, sand just as red, Martians just as green. I wondered toward my former home and rushed to the door. The second I stepped in, I heard, "M'gann'!" and felt arms around me.
I recognized my mother's red hair (like mine) and returned the hug. "Hello Mother!" I shyly responded.
"M'gann, we have missed you here on Mars!"
"Really? Y-you have?" I was dumbfounded.
"Of course, M'gann! You are my eldest daughter! When J'onn took you to Earth I was…devastated." My mother looked as though she were about to burst in to tears-I'm sure I did too.
"Oh mother! It's ok! I'm here now!"
She hugged me again. "Yes. You are here now."
Back in MedBay…
The heroes were getting restless. It had been five hours since Aqualad had woken up, and so far, none of the other protégés had moved. Kaldur and Conner left MedBay as did Aquaman and Canary.
The boys still didn't want to share their wonderful dreams. They wanted to keep them for themselves. Plus, some of the parts of the dreams were just too personal to share.
Batman, Flash, Green Arrow, and Martian Man Hunter still sat in MedBay all anxiously waiting and praying that their hero would be the next to wake.
"Come on, kid," Flash said. "Wake up for Uncle Barry."
"…"
Flash sighed.
"Robin. Can you hear me at all? Come on, Robin." Batman said in a hushed tone to his bird.
"M'gann? Get M'gann, wake up." Martian Man Hunter said to his niece.
"Come on, Arty! How will I explain your sleeping beauty-ness to your mom?" Arrow complained to Artemis.
None of the protégés stirred at the words from their mentors. With a collective sigh of resignation, the Senior Hero's' sat back and…waited.
M'ganns' POV
"M'gann. Come help me with the garden." Mother said. Wait. The garden? My mother never wanted anyone anywhere near her garden.
And yet…she wanted me to go with her now. I didn't waste any time flying after her. When I got there, she was already watering her plants. "M'gann, could you please water the daisies? They look a little thirsty."
They looked fine to me, but still, I wasted no time watering the delicate, white things. I returned to my mother's side as she watered the violets. I knew she was very particular about her violets. They have always been her favorites. If any of them even showed a sign of wilting, she would go ballistic.
I watched as she arranged them in a flawless way before hesitantly asking, "Mother, why did you want my help with the garden? I mean, out of all my sisters, why me?" I paused. "Not that I'm not thrilled to help! I'm just curious." I quickly added.
She finished patting down the red dirt. "M'gann. You are my oldest daughter. And I have missed you. Working in the garden is one of my favorite things to do and I just thought it would be nice to share it with you." She turned back to the flowers, moving on to the daffodils.
I was blissfully happy. The garden was absolutely gorgeous, of course. My mother wouldn't settle for anything less. The colors were so vibrant, almost glowing. Reds, yellows, oranges, whites, and, of course, violets stood out against the red sand of my planet. It was the most beautiful place I had ever seen. I have had dreams about places-
Back in MedBay…
M'ganns' eyes opened slowly. Unwilling, she sat up. "Uncle J'onn?" She asked.
"M'gann! You are awake!" Miss M sat there. Then her eyes filled with tears. "M'gann! What's wrong?" Her uncle gently asked as he moved to her side.
"It…it was so beautiful!" the young Martian replied as the tears dripped down her face.
Martian Man Hunter hesitated for just a moment before pulling her into a very rare hug. M'gann accepted without question. They sat there for a minute before Batman asked as gently as a Dark Knight can, "How did you wake up, M'gann?"
"I…I don't know. I just saw the garden and I thought of how beautiful it was..." the tears weren't coming as rapidly now.
"Did you think the word dream?" Green Arrow asked the fragile, green girl.
"Yes." She responded quietly.
"So that's three for three. It looks like dream is the word." Flash said. Silence answered him. "So…in theory…they could sleep forever. Until they think dream? There is nothing we can do." The three heroes looked down at their protégés; concern radiating off of the.
They only stirred when Superboy, Canary, Aqualad, and Aquaman walked back onto the room. "M'gann! You're awake now!" Superboy exclaimed, a small smile on his face. The girl got up and threw her arms around him, tears falling once again. Connor was shocked for a moment before hugging her tightly in return
"She didn't want to wake up either." Came the voice of the elder Martian.
"How will the others wake up?" Miss M asked tearfully as she pulled away from Connor, but still standing quite close.
"So far, with you three, we've had to wait for you to think the word dream."
"When?" Kaldur asked.
"We'll have to wait and see." Arrow informed him.
Not knowing what else to do, the three young heroes left the room. Canary, Aquaman and J'onn followed soon after, because they simple couldn't stay in the room with the sleeping protégés and their mentors.
The mentors tensely sitting with worry all over their faces. They all three knew what could go wrong. They could never think dream. They could sleep forever. Unless, dream wasn't what woke them up. Then, so much more could go wrong. And the heroes hated more than anything not knowing what could happen. Hated it.
