Chapter 25-Dreams...
*Oliver's POV*
After I had finally gotten ride of all the F.B.I guys on my tail I went over to Dani to give her a hand. Ivy and Jake had disappeared and everyone automatically went for Dani the magical griffin.
"Need some help?" I asked her
She roared in response and deflected another rocket. They had given up on bullets learning that we can just deflect them and started throwing grenades and shooting rocket launchers which we not much more effective.
There were only about fifty people left, the others had either already been dealt with or ran away screaming.
I raised about twenty-five of the people off the ground while Dani went down to the ground and smacked the rest away. I pushed those twenty five away from the city and did what I did with the rest of the F.B.I people.
I threw them in the water.
Simple.
Dani had just scared off the last of her twenty five and she turned to me still in griffin form. I landed and ran up to her. She did the same for me and transformed back into herself when she was a couple meters away. When she was in front of me she stopped. She let out a small laugh as she put her hand to my forehead and said
"You got a little something there"
I put my hand to where she pointed out only to bring it down and see my finger's have blood on them. I hadn't even realized I cut my forehead. But right now I didn't care. We lived. The enemy was gone and it was just me and Dani. She was smiling like a Cheshire and I had the feeling I was to. I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a tight hug, simply enjoying the feeling.
To add to the whole 'disney ending effect' I picked her up and she responded by flicking her legs up and I spun her around.
"You now how typical this ending is?" She asked when I finally put her down and we pulled away from the hug. I didn't let go of her though, I still had my arms around her waist and she had her's around my neck.
"What do you mean?"I asked
"The bad guy's gone, we all lived, and it's just you and me hugging. You can't tell me that doesn't sound like a Disney movie"She responded
"Yah, the only downside is we don't know if everyone lived."
"yah, but you can't think like that"
"You right"
"Aren't I always?"
"Shut up"
I leaned down to her hight and put my forehead against her's. There was nothing but air between us. I leaned down a little more when someone called our names.
The civilians where all hiding in the other end of the city so it wasn't one of them. I turned to see who it was only to see Jake running words us.
"I interrupted something here didn't I?" He asked. Dani had pulled completely away from me blushing.
"Yah now will you-" Dani cut me off.
"It's fine Jake. Where's Ivy?"
"Thats the problem"He responded
"What do you mean?"Dani asked
"I think she lost her power's"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We ran to where Jake said Ivy was hiding. Dani figured if we flew she either wouldn't care or would be infuriated.
We decided not to piss her off.
We ended up behind some nasty dumpster in some creepy alleyway with graffiti everywhere. It smelled disgusting but I pushed away my urge to gage so we could help Ivy.
"Hey" Dani said walking up to her, trying to be the supportive best friend.
"Hey" She responded and sniffled
"Ivy" Dani said softly. She sat down and hugged her friend.
"I'm fine." She assured "Really
"No your not" A new voice called. We looked over to see Anthony or should we say Naturea standing behind us. He walked over and kneeled beside Dani.
Ivy seemed to be inspecting his sunflower eyes.
"What do you want" Jake said his voice filled with rage.
"Jake don't be mad at him"I defended
"HE TRIED TO KILL US!"
"That wasn't Anthony and neither is this. Anthony, the real Anthony was blackmailed into doing that, Then he saved Sasha and that stupid tree and all of nature" I explained briefly Dani and Jake looked at me with confused looks while Ivy was still inspecting his eyes.
"Oliver's right"She mumbled "We don't have to be scared of him"
"Thank you!" I mumbled throwing my hands up.
"Can you give me my power's back?" Ivy asked
"Alas, I can't" Naturea said
You could practically see Ivy's heart sink to he ground.
"I am going to help you but not with power's. However first you must know about Sasha and Marko"Naturea continued
"What happened to them?"Jake asked
"You must see for yourself" Naturea waved his hand and the world around me dissolved, into another part go the city, right in front of the Freedom Tower.
A building had collapsed and the surrounding area was empty. In part of the rubble something was glowing with a mix of green and blue light. No one else seemed to notice the light right away so I walked over and called them to help me.
Jake did most of the work but eventually we got enough rubble away to see the lifeless body's of Marko and Sasha. I didn't want to look but at the same time, I couldn't pull my eyes away. Both girls had gasped when we first saw them and Dani fell to her knees covering her mouth. Sobbing while tears rolled down her face like crazy.
Ivy had her eyes covered and cried into Jake's shirt destroyed.
Jake held onto Ivy like she might disappear if he let go and cried into her shoulder.
I didn't cry. I didn't move. I could barely breath
The two were positioned like they were hugging. Marko was holding Sasha by the waist and she was completely turning into him. Her head was resting on his chest and turned around facing the ground while both her hands sat beside each other a little underneath her head on his chest. Marko, on the other hand, had his back completely on the ground and there was a gash on his leg I assumed was the reason they were crushed in the first place. Marko had a metal pole from the foundation of the building going straight through the left side of his ribcage making some of the bones stick out of his skin. (Sasha was on his right)
"I'm so sorry" A voice called from somewhere in from of us. There standing on the rubble was Naturea. "But this is for the best."
I wanted to open my mouth and yell. Our friends dying was for the best?! But that isn't what he meant. He waved his hand and out shot what looked like roses. To me they were black, and everyone else had their respected colour. The roses wrapped around the two lifeless body's and pulled them into the earth with a blinding flash.
None of us could say anything. We were all too heart broken, too shaken up, too... upset...
"I'm sorry" He said again and waved his hand. This time four vines appeared and each one went to a different person. This was the first time I saw the flower's in different colours...
and they were beautiful...
The orange ones went to Dani, The red one's at Jake and the purple at Ivy pulling the two of them apart, and the black ones at me... I felt the vines crawl up my legs and wrap themselves around me eventually making it to my face...
Making me black out into the smell of roses...

*Dani's POV*
I woke up on the bus heading to the museum not remembering falling asleep in the first place. Ivy fell asleep beside me too. She looked like she just woke up and was as confused as I was.
I don't remember falling asleep.
"Hey" I said looking at Ivy
"Hey"she responded back
"Did you fall asleep?" I asked
"Yah but I don't remember falling asleep in the first place. Also I had the weirdest dream"
"Me too. It was something about Superhero's and get this, You, Oliver, Jake White, Marko Banks, and Sasha Dallas were in it"
"SAME!!!" She said a little loudly
"Your joking?"
"No way! We all had these magical power's and we saved New York city, and there was something about flower's and tree's"
"You have got to be sh*tting me"
"What?"
'"Thats exactly what happened to me in my dream!!"
"Dani this is weird"
"Uh oh"
"What's wrong? What's Uh Oh?"
"Look's like you've got a stalker on your tail" I said and pointed to where Jake White was sitting starring a her shamelessly.
Ivy blushed
"Why are you blushing?" I asked not going to let her go if she doesn't answer
"In my dream....well Jake kissed me"She explained
As I was about to annoy the crap out of her and scream the bus came to a halt and Mme.Fitz told us to partner up and she explained the rules. The museum was actually kinda nice. The main reason we came here was for a flower exhibit and Ivy and I didn't even get to see it.
We were late then they wouldn't let us in to see it and the security guy was a d*ck so yah.
Now it was time for lunch and we were sitting at a table for four.
"Mind if we join you?" Oliver asked walking up up to our table. Jake was with him and he wouldn't look at Ivy without blushing.
"Yah sure" I responded
"Won't Grace get pissed?" Ivy asked
"Nah I broke up with her after we got off the bus" Jake said
"What? Why?" I said then realized I was being a snoop "Or don't answer if you don't want to"
"It's fine." He started "I feel asleep on the bus and had the craziest dream. Actually you guy's were in it." He continued to explain his dream and told us that at some point Oliver slept with his Grace and it felt so real, and so true he broke up with her. The worst part was she was in the corner making out with some random guy, who was wearing a uniform so I guessed he worked here.
"Sorry" Ivy said and reached her hand out to grab his. The two looked like they already shared some connection.
Weird
"You know you literally described my dream" Oliver said "Except the roses were black"
"Same! Except Purple roses" Ivy said not moving her hand away from Jakes, He didn't move either, you could tell by the smile's on both their face's that neither of them minded.
"Me too. Minus My roses where Orange. This is so weird"
"Yah it is" Oliver said looking at me with his piercing blue eyes. Ivy and Jake starred into each other's eyes and Oliver and I did the same. That dream felt way too real.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jake, Oliver, Ivy and I grew really close over that one conversation. You would've thought we'd known each other for years.
This was a week after, the four of us were in Mme.Fitz's class and when she walked in she had a sad look on her face.
"Class I have some bad news" She said making everyone grow quiet. You could hear a pin drop as we waited for her to tell us.
"You may notice two empty desks." She pointed to the two desks at the back of the class room sitting side by side.
"Those used to belong to Marko Banks and Sasha Dallas. Unfortunately the day we went on our trip the two decided to cut school and go to the quarry to go cliff jumping. They didn't make it back"
No one said a word.
ever since my stupid dream I've felt some weird connection to everyone who was in it, Marko and Sasha included. So hearing this news, well lets just say I wasn't crying of sympathy for anyone but Marko and Sasha. Ivy had the same reaction. She reached over to grabs Jake's hand for support. He was sitting beside her and over the past week the two have started going out. They were actually really cute together.
Oliver saw the tears in my eyes and he put his hand on my back supportively. He was also sitting beside me.
"The school will be putting a shrine up for them in the cafeteria, make sure to visit." Mme Fitz announced "I realize that after hearing news like that it may be hard to continue with they but, the show must go on"She picked up a piece of chalk and started writing who knows what on the board.
I wasn't paying attention and I didn't want to.
Before I knew it, it was the end of class and I was packing up my stuff to leave. Oliver 'casually' left a white lined piece of paper on my desk.
Meet 8:00 at HQ
I didn't know what he wanted but I was curious to know so I simply put the note in my pocket and walked out of the classroom.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8:00 was here before I knew it and I was sitting a table at HQ waiting for Oliver. I saw his car pull up in the parking lot. He spotted me and he simply opened the door put one foot out and gestured for me to 'come here'.
I did as he asked and walked out of the building before getting into his car a comfortable silence settling between us. I didn't want to ask where we were going cause Oliver wouldn't tell me unless his life depended on it.
When his car finally stopped we were at the edge of the woods. He parked his car and got out as I followed.
"Why are we here?" I asked him killing the silence.
"You'll see" He responded
We walked along the path up to a certain point, then we ditched the path and went through the woods until we were at a cave entrance that was covered in a moss curtain and a bridge leading into it.
Why was this so familiar?
"Dani?" Oliver asked me
I hummed in response
"In the dream everyone had, how come you and I weren't a thing?"
"What do you mean?"I asked him
"Jake and Ivy kissed, Marko and Sasha made out, why didn't anything... I don't know more romantic happen between us?"
"I honestly don't know. But I remember closer the end of the dream we almost had a moment. I'm pretty sure it was spoiled by Jake Right?"
"Yah"
"Remind me to thank him"I joked
"for what?"
"He save me from kissing me you"
Oliver took a step closer to me.
"Why would that be such a bad thing?"
"Cause It's you. You've probably only kissed a mirror before"
"Come on" He put his hands around my waist and said "You know you want to"
"Why would I?"
"So that the story ended like a disney movie. Minus Marko and Sasha dying"
"Yeah that kinda killed it"
"But the story's not over yet" I put my arms round his neck knowing exactly what he wanted.
"Well then we should end it soon so I can go back to only worrying about finals"
"fine" He said moving face so we were inches apart."Let's finish the story" With that he closed the space between us and for a few minutes I didn't want the story to end.
When we pulled away he grabbed my hand and led me over the bridge.
"Now for the other reason we're here" He opened the moss curtain and led me inside a place I didn't think existed.
The dome from the dream.
And there in all it's glory stood the so called magical tree of nature.
The only difference between the dome now and the dream was the pit was now no where to be found.
"Oliver this is Amazing! Do you know what all of this means?!" I yelled
"What does it mean?"
"It means that all of that, the dream, the flowers, the power's, the colours. It wasn't... It wasn't..."
I turned to face him and he had a confused look on his face.
"It wasn't what Dani?"He asked
"It means it wasn't all just a dream! It means that maybe we are Just Your Normal Everyday Superhero's!!!"
