A/N: Hello, everybody! And welcome to what I like to call "Dark Legends Tales"! Now what is this, you may ask? Well, it's basically a series of one shots set within the Dark Legends Verse where we see more smaller scale adventures from people like Andy Barclay, John Constantine, Gibb Smith, Alice Pierce, Buffy and the Scooby Gang, and many others outside of the main stories, like "Dark Legends: Preludes and Nocturnes". And yes, don't worry, I will wrap up that story very soon. But I've been dying to write this filler fic for a while now, so I just couldn't wait any longer! And more of this will come after "Preludes and Nocturnes" is finished.

Now here, expect a couple of chapters of just the characters of this series in their downtime, some humorous chapters, some really dark and heavy chapters, and some smaller scale supernatural battles. And they won't be released in chronological order at all, or at least very rarely, I'll be doing two-parter chapters. One chapter might be set during one of PotCFan101's stories before "Andy and Nica: Dark Legends"/"Dark Legends: Enter Gibb", like say "Child's Play 8: Soul of Chucky" or "Constantine Vs Freddy", and then the very next one might take place just before "Preludes and Nocturnes". And this was inspired by Aragorn II Elessar's "When Heroes live their lives" story for his old "Heroes" fanfic series, so thanks very much to him.

With that said, this first chapter in particular was actually something that's been on my mind ever since I've first read Potsey's first "Dark Legends" story, even before coming up with the idea of "Enter Gibb".

For the timeline, this will be set in-between Chapters 13 and 14 of PotCFan101's "Andy and Nica: Dark Legends". Enjoy.

Star City, 2017

Nica Pierce, alongside her niece Alice, stayed at Oliver Queen's place while her husband Andy Barclay stayed on the Waverider with the Legends of Tomorrow, after a little tussle with watching over Amaya Jiwe's granddaughter, Kuasa when Andy was stuck in time with John Constantine and Sara Lance. You see, for the past week, she had been experiencing some horrible nightmares, ones which involved the doll with the soul of a serial killer, Chucky. It was weird to her. She had thought she'd be rid of Chucky after his defeat two months ago... but apparently not, because Andy guessed that perhaps, she might be suffering from survival's guilt after Chucky had murdered her family four years ago, which he definitely couldn't blame her. So Andy thought it would be best if Oliver helped him in trying to give her personal therapy.

And so, while Pierce waited for her husband to get back, she decided to take a little nap. And little did she know that the dream she would experience this time around will be far worse than anything she had ever experienced before…

Pierce Residence, 1994 (Dream)

"Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday, Dear Nica! Happy Birthday to you!"

6 year old Nica Pierce blew out the candles and the family cheered.

"Happy Birthday, lovely." Nica's mother, Sarah Pierce said.

"Thank you so much, Mommy." Nica said.

Barb Pierce, Nica's older sister, gave her a gift. Nica opened it and then gave a face of disappointment.

"Another Dr. Seuss book, Barb? I'm getting kinda too old for these."

"Hey, it was the only thing I could've thought of to get you." Barb retorted. "The least you can do is be grateful I got you anything at all, crip."

"Barb, be nice!" Sarah said.

Just then Nica noticed a rather large present, wheeling over to check it out.

"Hmm, I wonder what's in here?" she asked.

She opened up the present and found… a red haired, blue eyed doll with freckles on its face, wearing a multi-colored sweater and blue overalls with the words "Good Guy" on the center… Huh?

"Okay, interesting."

The doll blinked two times before saying the words: "Hi I'm Chucky. Wanna Play?"

"That is the ugliest doll I have ever seen." Barb said. "I wonder who sent it?"

"Huh, it doesn't say." Sarah said, checking the package.

"Well, I think he actually looks kinda cute." Nica said.

"Alright, if you say so. I won't judge." Barb muttered.

"I'm getting sleepy." Nica yawned.

"Barb, wheel your sister to bed." Sarah ordered.

Barb nodded and did as instructed and with that, tucked her little sister to bed before heading back to the living room.

Now Playing: Curse of Chucky Main Theme

It was nighttime at the Pierce residence, and little Nica had been asleep for 2 hours. While she was sleeping, her mother and sister had been busy cleaning up all of the decorations of her sixth birthday, and are now heading to bed themselves. But suddenly, a huge sound of thunder was heard as lightning struck outside the house.

That was enough to wake Nica up. She then looked at her new doll named Chucky, which for some reason was laying on the ground when it was literally just in the bed with her.

Pierce shrugged as she crawled out of bed and walked her way downstairs. Wait… walked? How exactly did she suddenly gain the ability to walk when she's been a paraplegic since birth? That was to be answered later as Nica made her way into the kitchen and grabbed a butcher knife that her mother used to cut her cake.

Nica then snuck her way out of the kitchen and went back upstairs. As she made it back up, she walked towards Barb's bedroom door, as she noticed that it was open. Nica saw her older sister saying a bedtime prayer, and then slowly tiptoed her way into her bedroom, creeping up on her. But then, as she got closer, Barb opened her eyes and saw her from behind.

"Nica, what the heck are you doing in my room?" Barb asked, before noticing her little sister was holding a butcher knife… and not in a wheelchair.

"And… How are you walking?"

Nica stepped closer.

"Why do you have Mom's butcher knife?"

Nica then finished stepping closer to Barb, making her all the more nervous.

"What is going on?!"

Nica howled a roar making Barb scream in terror as she stabbed Barb in the chest, repeatedly before… she gave out and died.

Nica stared at her sister's dead corpse, forming an unusual smirk on her face, almost… evil-like…

"Sisters…" Pierce said in a tone very unlike her usual self. "They make the worst fucking friends in the world."

She then laughed maniacally before stepping out of her sister's bedroom.

As Nica made her way out of Barb's room, she could hear the shower running in the bathroom across the hall. She then decided to slowly step into the bathroom.

"Nica, is that you?" Sarah's voice said from behind the curtains. "I thought we already had our talk about stepping into people's privacy."

Nica then stepped closer to the tub… And closer… And even closer…

Until…

She pulled the curtains away revealing her mother inside, wet and naked!

Sarah then screamed in absolute horror, covering her bare breasts as her daughter repeatedly stabbed her naked body, laughing maniacally while doing so, and then finished by slashing her throat, causing her blood to spew all over the bathroom with some of it even getting onto Nica's face.

Nica then suddenly fell to the ground, and as she wiped the blood off of her face, she started noticing the carnage.

"M-Mommy?" Nica said in a scared tone as she looked at her mother's dead body. And then she turned to Barb's bedroom from across and saw that she was dead as well.

"Barb?"

Nica then noticed that she was holding a bloodied up butcher knife and quickly let go of it. As she then looked at herself in the mirror, it hit her…

She was the one who murdered her family. For some reason, something snapped within her that made go on a full murder spree. Perhaps it had something to do with that new doll of hers?

Thinking about all of this made her scream in absolute terror as an evil and maniacal laugh echoed in her mind-

"Auntie Nica! Wake up! It's just a dream!"

Nica then snapped her eyes awake, gasping for air as she noticed that she was still in her spare bedroom with Alice and Constantine standing by her side.

"Bloody Hell, Nica." Constantine said. "Gave us a fucking heart attack there. Now c'mon, Oliver called us in for something."

As the two walked out of the room, Pierce then started forming tears in her eyes.

"Oh my God… they're getting even worse…"

A/N: And there we go with this first chapter! Now, as I've said in the beginning, the idea of this chapter is one that's been on my mind even before I've decided to write "Dark Legends: Enter Gibb". In fact, I've actually started writing this in my documents... in December of 2021! So basically, this idea came up the moment I first read "Andy and Nica: Dark Legends", which was around the time Season 1 of the "Chucky" TV show had wrapped up.

Now as much as I love that original story, one of my few nitpicks about it was that after a certain point, Potsey didn't explore much into all the nightmares that Nica was suffering through thanks to the Akumu. Now I get it, there was a bigger problem at that time with Damien Darhk, so he couldn't focus too much on that subplot, but I still would've appreciated some more nightmare sequences out of Nica. That's why in Chapter 7 of "Enter Gibb", I had Nica basically dream of her last scene from "Chucky" Season 1, where Tiffany cut all her limbs off. Of course, I didn't actually show that bit, because it would've been almost beat-for-beat how it played out in the show... and that scene still traumatizes me even to this day! And Season 2 didn't make it much better.

So, I've always wondered what other nightmares Nica would've had at this point in the story. And the thing that instantly came to my mind was her being possessed by Chucky as a child and then killing her mother and sister. This whole sequence was heavily inspired by Glen's nightmare sequence at the beginning of "Seed of Chucky", which besides the "pissing your pants" bullshit is one of the only good things about that movie. And then the whole ending where Nica briefly came back into consciousness was pulled from all the bits from the show when she often break free of Chucky's possession. Now at the time when this story was written by Potsey, the show wasn't a thing yet, so we didn't know if that was really possible based on what we've seen at the end of "Cult of Chucky", so it makes sense that it would only occur in a nightmare here. I am still very confused though on how just seeing blood is somehow an on-and-off switch for Chucky-possessed people, because doesn't that defeat the purpose of him killing people in a human body to begin with? But, that's a tangent for another day.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this first chapter of this fluff fic. And whenever I finish "Preludes and Nocturnes", I will coming out with more chapters. Till then, see ya!
