Oliver's pov

After a day full of missions, we were pooped. We had gone to ten different missions in the last 24 hours. A fire, a bank robbery, a collapsing building, a METEOR... All in one day, what are the odds?

We were watching some comedy movies and just relaxing, when Skylar decided to head to bed. It was 9:30.

Half an hour later, Bree turned our movie off, causing all three boys to protest

" HEY!"

Hands on her hips, she spoke "It's ten o'clock. Time for young boys like you to go to bed."

Kaz and I looked at each other "We're not little kids, Bree."

Giving us a stop-talking-and-go look, Chase spoke "We're going, Bree." And with that, he dragged us to our room, Bree close behind. Before she entered, though, I asked "What's wrong, Chase?"

He sighed " When she gets into Mama Bree mode it's yes ma'am or else. Bottom line. Obey, it's better."

Shrugging, we got in our beds and he climbed into his capsule after Bree hugged and kissed him goodnight. Kaz and I thought she was going to leave, but she was adamant in tucking us in as well. After we fell asleep she went to bed.

-Oliver's nightmare -

Kaz, Sky and I were hot on my mothers' trail, to imprison her in Mighty Max. We had her cornered, and she smirked in my direction

"Ollie, join me. Join me and rule the world with me!"

Shaking my head, I replied "No, Mom. I'm sorry."

Then, before I could react, she did something I'll never be able to forget. She killed Kaz and Skylar right before my eyes and there was nothing I could do about it.
- end of nightmare -

I woke up screaming, surprisingly not waking up Chase and Kaz. At least I knew Kaz was alive...

Next thing I knew, Bree super sped in, asking "I heard you scream. What's wrong?"

Unable to answer, I broke down sobbing, the bionic girl quick to comfort me. She asked, perplexed

" Oliver, what happened?"

Recomposing through shaky breaths, I managed to gulp out "I had a nightmare about the day Kaz, Sky and I imprisoned my mom. In the nightmare, when I refused to join her, she... K-k-killed them. And I couldn't do anything!"

As soon as I said that, I burst into tears again. She began rocking me on her lap and singing softly until my sobs died down. She then spoke " Kaz is right here and he's fine, and Skylar's ok too, in the girls room."

A disturbingly loud sound echoed through the penthouse and I smiled "Yup, I hear her snoring." We laughed slightly and she kissed my forehead " What brought this nightmare, do you think? Were you thinking of your mom recently?"

Embarrassed, I explained "We were at a sporting goods store and I saw a life jacket. It brought back a couple of memories..." She knew which memories I was referring to and stifled a giggle, tousling my hair and kidding my forehead one more time before going back to her room. I slept peacefully for the rest of the night.

---- time skip -----

It was the next night, and us boys had been ordered to go to bed even earlier than last night. It wasn't even 9:00! But, as usual, Mama Bree was quite convincing, so we obeyed; fearing the alternative.

After the usual tucking in, which involved her snuggling with us, kissing our foreheads and hugging us until we couldn't breathe, she left and we drifted off to sleep, which for me would be the second night of nightmares in a row.

A few minutes later, I woke up screaming my head off. I had started to calm myself down, when Bree came in

"Your mom again?" But I didn't reply, intently and fearfully watching my closet, waiting for a demented beheaded creature to come out of it to eat me.

Bree's pov

Noticing his behavior, I got angry, crossing my arms and eyeing him suspiciously, with my famous "mom eyes"

"Now young man, I told you not to watch the movie Beheaded before you went to bed!"

He replied quickly "I didn't watch it, Bree."

Using my vocal manipulation app, I imitated the monster's voice "Sweet dreams, little boy..."

Not to my surprise, he screamed and jumped a few feet. Smirking as he glared at me, I taunted, voice back to normal "You were saying?"

Sighing, he surrendered " Ok, fine. I watched it, I regret it. NOW what?!"

Smiling, she replied "I'd put you in time-out, but the nightmare was punishment enough, apparently. So, I'll do you a favor and check your closet for beheaded creatures, and stay with you until you fall asleep, and it'll be our little secret. Sound good?"

Smiling, I nodded. She peeked inside my closet, shutting it shortly after, a teasing grin on her face "There was one, but I stuffed yours and Kaz's shoes in his face and he died instantly."

We both laughed, and she tucked me in again, leaving shortly, pressing a kiss on my forehead after I fell asleep.
