I've returned from the dead! :P Sorry for not updating for soo long. I had other stories that needed updating and unfortunately, I have a busy life.. O.O

Anyways, thank you for everyone's favs, alerts and especially the reviews! They really bring a smile to my face. :) So if you want me to smile more, please review more! Haha. Well thats enough about me, on to the story!

After Black Canary checked them over, she left the room to inform the Justice league that their protégés were now awake. The team stretched their bodies, which were sore from their awkward sleeping positions, before going off to do their own thing while waiting for their mentors to return.

It was weird how everything suddenly went back to normal, as if their time in the dreamland never happened at all. Megan was looking through one of her cookbooks while Conner watched her from across the counter. Wally raided the fridge, his body was famished from all those hours of sleeping. Kaldur left the room, deciding to spend some time in the pool, and Artemis and Robin sat on the couch watching the news.

When Black Canary returned, she was surprised to say the least, to see the group of teens so relaxed. She thought that maybe she'd had to have another counseling session with them after today's events, but it looked like it was unnecessary.

"I see everything is alright." She said at the team, minus Kaldur. "I was thinking something bad may have happened while you guys where asleep, but I guess I was wrong."

"Well, a lot of things did happen. But in the end, it wasn't all that bad." Replied Megan.

"What do you mean?"

They were interrupted by the robotic sound from the zeta tubes, announcing their mentor's arrival with a bright flash of light. There was a gust of wind and suddenly Wally was yelping through a mouth full of donuts from the surprise hug from his uncle.

Flash let Wally down and ruffled his hair. "Good to see you alright, kiddo! Looks like you haven't lost your appetite."

Wally rolled his eyes, but smiled cheerily at his uncle. "Hey Uncle Barry."

-Kaldur comes back in at this point-

One by one the rest of the heroes entered the room. Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Green arrow, Martian Manhunter went to their partner's side. Yes, even Superman was a little concerned for Conner.

"You guys have got a lot of explaining to do." Green arrow said, standing next to Artemis.

"Of course. Should we head to the mission room?" asked Kaldur.

Batman nodded. "Yes. We have some information we'd like to share with you as well."

The 2 teams made their way to the mission room, with Red tornado, Black Canary and Zatara sitting in on the meeting as well.

"Let's begin with what happened after our conversation was interrupted." Batman began.

"Kaldur and I heard some noises and shouts coming from the living room and ran to investigate." Explained Robin. "When we arrived, we found the rest of the team already asleep, with the amulet left by that new villain, Knightmare, glowing strangely on the floor. Before we could even do anything, the amulet started glowing brighter and the next thing we knew, we suddenly woke up in an empty white room. So not asterous."

"Wait, white room? What are you kids talking about?" Superman joined the conversation.

"It seems that the amulet somehow pulled us into a dreaming state. I could feel all of our minds come together, and we ended up sharing the same dream." Megan answered.

"And what exactly were these dreams about?" asked Aquaman curiously. The rest of the mentors stared at their partners, eager to find out as well.

"It's a pretty long story. But to cut it short, we figured out we were dreaming about our memories." Said Wally. "Bad memories."

"May I ask, exactly what memories?" J'onn asked politely, not wanting pry.

Conner was about to speak, but looked at his teammates first. They nodded, saying it was alright to tell them.

"Aside from me, since I have no earlier memories other than being inside the pod, we were all forced to relive a bad memory from everyone's life. We were only allowed to wake up after we watched each person's memory."

"My memory was that of my father, Black manta, when I was beaten by him and left to die, before my King saved me." Said Kaldur. Aquaman set a comforting hand on Kaldur's shoulder.

"I'm actually a white martian, and my memory was of getting bullied by the other green martian children due to my race." Said Megan. J'onn came up to her and gave her a hug.

"Mine was of my parents." Flash's eyes widened. "It was before, you know. Before you helped them, him, Uncle B. The time when I got beaten up." said Wally. Flash gripped onto his shoulder, beaming a sad smile and nodded.

"Well, my memory was about my sister and my dad. It was when my sister, Cheshire, left me alone to my dad, Sportsmaster." Said Artemis. The heroes frowned, while Batman remained as stoic as ever, and Green arrow nodded in understanding.

"And mine. My memory was my parent's deaths. The day they died by falling from the trapeze." Said Robin. This time Batman actually twitched. He sent Robin a look of concern only a member of the bat family could decipher, and Robin smiled back. Reassuring him that he was alright.

The room was silent for a moment, till Batman started speaking and brought up a few photos onto the holographic screen.
"After the team, fell asleep, we had Zatara chant a locating spell and managed to pin point the location that let out a similar aura to that of the amulet." He pulled up a picture of the man with his helmet off. "We eventually found this man, had J'onn read his mind, to discover that he was being controlled by Klarion. We have yet to deduce the reason for Klarion for causing all this."

Wally let out an exasperated sigh. "With Klarion, it could be anything. Doing things like this is like a game to him. He does this all for 'fun'."

"Heh heh heh, how right you are. I was getting tired of waiting for you all to wake up!" Both teams turned towards the voice only to be blasted backwards by an unknown force.

Klarion emerged from the shadows with Teekl by his side, smirking at the group of heroes who were pulling themselves off the ground and moving into a fighting stance.

"Now's when the real fun begins!"

I'm actually too lazy to re-read this, so if there were a lot of mistakes, I'm really sorry. I'll come back and edit it later.

PLEASE REVIEW! Thanks~
