The last week had been nothing but not much eventful for Y/N, excluding the fact he had to run patrols on the Moon every so often to keep the Nightmares at bay with Supergirl who was a great help in containing the Nightmares with the help of Guardians also.

The Hive were desperate enough to start rituals to sacrifice Nightmares for unknown purposes at the Alters of Sorrow outside the Scarlet Keep currently, a purpose Eris vowed to find on whatever the Hive were really planning with the Nightmares itself, possibly on behalf of the Pyramid from her observation, she believed there is something more at play with the Nightmares.

But as of right now... Night had fallen upon the Last City, the city was mostly quieter during the night, markets were closed, shops were closed...

On that other part, the last week for Y/N during sleep was... Eventful if it were questioned from another towards himself, his Ghost or his lover. He had been waking up from Nightmare, to Nightmare every night, facing Nightmares of his past.

It was a horrible experience, to the point he went on without sleep for a few days, Guardians didn't need much sleep but Y/N's gotten into the habit of doing it, due to Kara wanting to cuddle with him in the bed. He was all very much Kara's teddy bear at this point on, one to feel warm and snuggle into.

Every so often he'd awake from a Nightmare, was either Kara shaking him gently to wake up, or him shooting out of bed and casting a Golden Gun to aim and shoot, which he had done a few nights ago, putting a medium-to-large sized hole through a wall, which still woke up Kara either way.

The Pyramid's influence had been the blame for his sudden Nightmares in his sleep, he recounted hearing a voice that sounded like a male's within his nightmares, different from facing the Nightmarish foes like Ghaul and The Fanatic, like they were the boogeyman of his dreams, feasting upon his fears to grow stronger, and seemed to find enjoyment in it.

But as he and Kara slept, her cuddling into the crook of his neck with one of her petite, but strong and muscular arms while wearing a smile on her face, since she was dreaming rather goodly, Y/N on the other hand... Was having a strange experience of a dream.

First... He was fighting the Nightmare of Ghaul once again, everything was going as it should again, but this time...

This time something rather strange happened...

A white orb of Light had appeared in the midst of the fight, before taking shape of a bird, flying over the battlefield before it burrowed itself into the Nightmare of Ghaul, what happened next was out of the ordinary...

 (A/N: Look, I know it's a Final Shape soundtrack but... It plays perfectly for this part, trust)

"Hello? (Hello?... Hello?...)" said a confused dreaming Guardian, his word taking form of a question, finding himself within an awe-dropping environment. His voice echoed back at him with the same greeting.

"...Okayyyy, (Okayyyy, Okayyyy) this is... (this is... this is...) Weird (Weird... Weird...)" he noted to himself, his words echoing like he stood in a cave... But he wasn't in a cave.

He was standing on a platform, made inherently out of... 

The Light.

"What is this place? (is this place? Is this place?)" he soon found himself on solid ground, on the platform made out of Light itself. Confused, he walked forward as a little orb spawned in front of him before falling down and creating another platform for him to walk on, a circular shaped platform.

He checked his surroundings and observed that this had to be some dream still, the entire environment looked beautiful, peaceful, un-bearing even, it was unlike anything he's ever seen before.

He checked for Glace's appearance but got nothing, calling out her name before calling out for Kara's... But got nothing. He however wished he had Glace or Kara with him in this... Odd dream, to see what he can see.

"Is this... (Is this... Is this...) Light? (Light? Light?)" he questioned as he knelt down, looking at the platform more closely after walking forward for a minute, it looked like... Roots, roots of a tree, pulsating with Light, he could feel the Light flowing around him, cultivating and blooming.

Whatever this place was... Or that bird that saved him, he was still in awe of the place he now stood within, or if it even is a place...

The Light flowed through him, he felt as if the Light was really pure and powerful here, he hadn't felt the Light up close since the tree he found on Paradise Island, which he began to put together.

These roots look almost identical to the same roots of the tree that he and Glace discovered on Paradise Island itself, but more bigger than the last, and were holding up this platforms made out of the Light itself.

"Is this... (Is this... Is this...) No (No. No)" he stopped himself from thinking too much about it. "This can't be the inside of the Traveler, it's just a -"

Before he could observe more, he heard something behind him fluttering like wings, turning around at that moment to see something on a distant platform, a conduit of Light, in form of a person who stood on the distant platform, the form of the person seemed to look like a female, judging from the figure alone.

Her entire body was constructed of Light flowing all around her body, concealing her entirely, but there was a pair of wings on her back, and a clothing choice of a gown with what appeared to be a cape that draped down from behind her arms, and long hair that draped down behind her back.

Once his eyes set upon this... Mysterious woman, he began to cautiously walk toward her, a platform spawned in front of him with the orb dropping like a water droplet hitting the ground, splashing to create a platform made out of the mysterious roots of Light that flowed and bloomed.

"Uh... (Uh... Uh...) Hello? (Hello? Hello?)" he said toward the mysterious woman, while he kept walking toward her, with each platform taking form from the orb that splashed down like a droplet of water from a tap.

His voice echoed once again, but was heard by the strange woman, she turned around to face the Guardian that called out to her, but her face was concealed by this Light flowing energy that flowed all over herself.

The sound around him began to dim down, the echo of his footsteps weren't as prominent anymore but the sound of the Light surrounding him still ringed around him like a glimmering and mystical atmosphere, giving him unwanted goosebumps. The sound was angelic and beautiful, it was something he couldn't even wrap his head around much.

(A/N: The sound around you is pretty much the exact same from the soundtrack given up top for this part.)

"Okay... That's... Kinda creepy" he said to himself, no angelic echo repeating his words anymore, seeing the woman's face was faceless, but a soft giggle from the woman that physically looked like an angel. 

A notable shield like glyph was also seen on her gown, right where her chest is, but it was blank, which made him narrow his eyes.

"I can't show my true form -" 

(??? Portrayed/Voiced by Elle Fanning)  

"But... I will reveal myself completely in the physical world when the time is right, when we eventually meet physically" the woman spoke angelically and with a friendly demeanor, who just giggled at his observation of her. "But I am not your enemy, and I wish not be, I want to help Guardians in any way I can, showing visions, guidance, or anything else to help".

"Wait... Visions? Guidance?" he questioned as he stepped more forward, a platform spawned from an orb splashing into thin air in front of him to spawn it in with roots keeping it up. "That's... What the Traveler has done... Are you?".

"No" she answered vaguely. "I am not the Traveler, but I am an Angel of Light, given a purpose by the Traveler in a way... Before that, I was once called the Earthborn Angel. There are a few that are like me, but I now speak with you, through a miracle itself to even communicate with the Guardian that is very important, along with the Kara Zor-El that lives on the newly reborn reality of New Earth, separate from Earth-One"

Y/N raised his eyebrow at the woman's words, from hearing the name of what she was once called as 'the Earthborn Angel', that they were a few like her as an 'Angel of Light'. There was a lot for him to prosper at this moment.

Her identity was still much unknown, he had a lot of questions for this... Angel of Light of sorts, and what did she mean by Earth-One.

"Earth... One?" he questioned. "You're speaking like there's... Other realities out there like... Like mine and Kara's?" he fired out another question, he had too many to even count, one of them being on who really is this Angel of Light. 

'Does she have a name?'

Suddenly, the entire environment began to dissipate, with the woman chuckling to herself the next as she knew what was happening.

"What's happening?!".

"Seems we're out of time" she looked upon the environment herself, still faceless to him as she looked back at the Guardian. "I look forward to speaking with you again" she bowed a little before straightening herself up again. "But rest assured... If you were to succumb another nightmare? I will be there to assist, there is a dark presence coming, both of your worlds are in mortal danger of this... Threat".

"What? No... Wait!"

(Soundtrack ends here)

Y/N's eyes bolted right open, finding himself in the bed as a gasp of air left his mouth, his breathing, feeling a tight arm around him as light snores are what he hears behind him, calming him down almost immediately.

He felt a little tickle on his neck, a tickle that came from Kara's golden hair as she cutely snores away in the bed, with her arm tightly around his waist, Y/N found himself in his now shared home with his girlfriend. Awake from his nightmare turned strange induced dream.

The Angel was all he could think of, at first... He thought it was Kara, considering he calls her 'Angel' but it clearly wasn't her but someone else entirely.

The woman did seem familiar however, he remembered once seeing her in a vision or two from the Traveler, even Glace had mentioned of a woman in a gown once.

'Guess I'll worry about it later' he said in his head as Kara's little snores was enough to get him to smile a little. 'If only I could turn around'.

Closing his eyes... He went back to sleep, wanting to worry about his... Odd dream when he and Kara are awake together...

[Earth-201499 | Earth, The Last City | Supergirl's Perspective]

Today continued as it normally would, except from the fact Y/N mentioned he had a very odd dream last night. However...both Y/N and I went back up to the Moon to continue working on holding back the Nightmares alongside Guardians that were patrolling the Moon also, completing various tasks to assist the Vanguard on keeping the City safe from anything that threatened it, especially with the Moon being top-priority for patrols again from what Y/N had told me of what happened before the Red War.

Reports were still coming in of Last City residents suffering strange form of nightmares, even multiple nightmares within a row which began to concern the nurses and doctors that helped keep the citizens healthy and their wellbeing in check, even some Guardians began to suffer nightmares also, which Y/N was one of the Guardians to have been reported on suffering this effect, I had to convince him to tell them, as it was very serious.

All blame went toward the Pyramid on the Moon as originally thought, Nightmares began spewing and spawning from the Pyramid itself, which has now effected certain parts of the Solar System or "Sol" they called it here. Titan, Io, Mercury, Mars, Nessus and Earth had reported sightings of Phantoms and Nightmares within Lost Sectors according to Hunter Vanguard Scouts.

Despite the usual patrols on the Moon we've been doing the last week, both of us decided to go investigate strange Hive activity within the Catacombs, where we both escaped from with the Cryptoglyph in hand, where the Pyramid tried to inflict itself into Glace's shell like it would do much later when the time had come to enter the Pyramid to find what was inside according to Y/N himself.

I still can't imagine what he went through, he... Still won't talk much about it, only that he faced Ghaul, The Fanatic and Crota one by one. Not only that, Glace was possessed by the Pyramid.

I knew it was a bad idea for him to go alone, but we didn't have time to make something for me to pass the warding safely.

But in that fashion of going back into the Catacombs, I discovered something that could be eye-dropping for both the Space Cowboy and his long trusting Ghost, a damaged... Mark? Something those Titans were around their waist, a lot of them wear different ones like ones that hang out from the front and back...

Ones that hang from the back and ones that hang from the sides... And back at times, but I got the idea...

I still think capes are cool, go Hunters! If only my boyfriend wore a cape, but it's his preference, not gonna force him into wearing one, ain't like that.

Well... Glace knew who the Mark belonged to, the Guardian named Vell Tarlowe, she knew of him, she's seen him but hasn't interacted with him from what she remembers.

Vell was renown as a Pilgrim Guard, he helped lots of refugees through hostile environments, kept them from being slaughtered and was successful in doing so in his experience. Vell was looked upon by many, he...

He kinda sounds like my cousin in a way when it's put like that...

I guess he does, he only fought battles he had to fight, reminds me of Kal in a way. I miss you Kal, I really do... I hope I get to see you soon...

But on the other note, Glace suggested we'd find the missing fragments of his Mark, since it was damaged, just like Sai's necklace last week, Eris would be glad to see the Mark in her possession as a note of refuge, now that we know how to rid of the Phantoms that haunt her.

But things took a little weird turn when Y/N finally told me the details he could remember of his... Odd dream he had last night, knowing he'd tell me later eventually.

And... Wow. It's... A lot to take in.

I don't know who this... Angel of Light is, but she claims to be a friend, someone who's been helping the whole time. But... Why communicate all of a sudden?

Y/N and Glace mentioned that the Traveler sometimes does this now and then, bestows visions on Guardians, but no other Guardian has reported about any visions or guidance from the Traveler at all, at least from what they recount.

Only Y/N and Glace had visions, it started from the Red War... Until now. Which is concerning to me, though it shouldn't, I do worry if its gonna effect him or his Ghost. He claimed I was being too worried, and that it wouldn't do anything bad like effect him or Glace negatively, but I kinda doubt it, I should still be worried about it, just in case...

He thought I would get jealous over this too, like I understood where he came from but... Why would I get jealous? If a woman ever tried to flirt with him, they'd be getting the cold shoulder from me and I'd make it obvious that he's mine and mine alone.

It's... Already happened once or twice back on my Earth with some girls our age...

"So... What else did this Angel say?" I stood over his shoulder, looking down at the progress he was making on repairing the Mark.

"She didn't really reveal much, but..." his 'but' sounded uneasy. "She let me off with a warning before I woke up".

"What warning?"

Y/N sensed my ever lasting concerned tone. Rao, if he compares me to Kal again, I swear to Krypton...

"She mentioned that a dark presence was coming, and that both our worlds are in mortal danger" Y/N revealed to me. Hmm, a classic 'the world is under threat' type of situation but... What does she mean by that I wonder?

Was she referring to the Pyramids? The ones that destroyed Krypton? Is that the dark presence she was warning Y/N about?

"A dark presence? Is she mentioning the Pyramids?".

"...Maybe..." he answered after clearly thinking for a moment. I still watched him continue, getting lost in my thoughts. "Heat vision, if you mind"

It's all crazy to me, first he's having a nightmare, fighting a Nightmare, then the next thing? He's in this environment he can't exactly describe, he assumed it might've been the Traveler but he wasn't entirely sure.

"Babe? You okay?" Oh Rao, did he say something earlier? I felt him shake me a little, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, y-yeah, sorry Baby, I was lost in thought there".

"It's alright, I could tell" he softly chuckled. "Could you use your heat vision on this bit, please?" he asked me politely as I smile and fire a pair of two red beams of heat out of my eyes and onto the Mark, cauterizing a line that sewn the piece onto the Mark together. "Thanks".

It's a nice feeling when I feel his lips plant a kiss on my cheek, as much as I love being kissed on the lips, cheek kisses are pretty cute...

Haha, I still think back on the night I kissed his cheek on Paradise Island for the first time as a token of saying thank you, before I and Kal flew off the island after I was brought back from... Apokolips. Back when everything was nothing but crazy turns and having undiagnosed Kryptonite Poisoning.

"Haven't heard from Praedyth in the last few days, any word from him?" I then bring to Y/N's attention, as much as I would like to check on him, I'd hate to disturb that Warlock from what he's working on.

I've still yet to hear any updates on any new transmissions or something the Sol Consensus has picked up from my Earth, Praedyth recently gave us an update on the portal's building process and that tests would start very soon.

But currently, he's knee-deep in about the Sol Divisive's recent activities as it's brought worry to the Vanguard, especially with growing Vex activity on the Moon.

"Nothing yet so far, Praedyth's busy regardless. Kinda reminds me of Osiris in a way" yay, another someone I've yet to meet. "I'm sure you'll meet him eventually, whenever he does come out from the Infinite Forest that is" he placed down another fragment onto the Mark and laid it out. "Heat vision, please".

Once again, I shoot out my heat vision to connect the fragment of Vell's Mark onto his... Mark, funny to use that in one sentence...

"Thank you, Angel" he stood up once again and kissed me on the cheek. Rao, he's such a goof ball 

"I... Think that should do it. What do you think Glace?" Y/N turned to his Ghost who observed the Mark, giving it a long look as I rest my hands on his shoulder.

"It's just about it. Looks exactly the same as it did once. Eris will be happy to see this returned to her".

"Alright then, shall we?" the Mark disappeared out of his hands, assuming it went into his little pocket dimension inventory which I'd really kill to get one of those.

Glace soon disappears and my boyfriend's eyes fall upon me, which I smile at him for. "Want me to fly us there I take it?".

He rolls his eyes toward me. "No, I want to outfly you with my ship" I can sense the sarcasm coming from him, which sounds like music to my ears, I couldn't even control myself from giggling at his expression.

He maybe fast on the draw, but he's not fast at other things... Or his ship isn't faster than me at least, I mean... I outflew my cousin at least a few times from when we've raced around the Earth and space.

"Yes, you can take us there" he said his real answer to me finally after I giggled. Allowing me to sweep him from his feet before I take him out the house, he wears that little smile on his face as I do so which in turn, makes me smile.

I suppose he likes to be in my arms, and being carried... Though for a while he wouldn't even admit it...nothing wrong with that.

I stand outside, and look up to the air after giving him a little wink after closing the door with his foot, it was kinda cute, not gonna lie.

Wait... What was that saying Kal used to say?

Oh... Yeah!

"Up, Up and Away!"

"Oh Traveler, that saying is so cheesy..." Exclaimed a cringing Y/N. Making me giggle as we flew higher and higher.

Maybe if I say it every so often, he'll begin to like it...

[Earth-201499 | The Moon| Enduring Abyss, Refuge] 

Eris Morn once again looked out toward the Pyramid that laid dormant ahead, the ship responsible for the Nightmares and Phantoms that now haunt the entirety of Sol itself, judging from the reports she's been hearing.

The former Guardian, now but a Hive Tainted Witch had expressed worry if Phantoms were to ever haunt the City next, though Guardians are doing everything they can to contain the Nightmares from spreading to the City, Eris had also worried for the future to come and that preparations must be put into place for what's to come.

She worried that more of these Pyramids were coming, now that the ship is now activated and awake, consistently haunting Guardians and City-Folk alike, now that the news had gotten out of a dark presence that has awoken on the Moon... Earth's doorstep.

Just as she lost herself in thought, she noticed the Phantom of Vell Tarlowe was missing, until she heard whispering behind her, an echo of Vell's voice.

"We shouldn't have come here! My-My Ghost! They're... We need to retreat!!"

 She turned around to see Vell Tarlowe struggling, waving his arms and hands as telling his fireteam to retreat, one that Eris witnessed happen as the next thing?

"Go! Get out of here!! Get-Argh!!"

A Darkblade Knight's axe. Alak-Hul's axe swung in the air before it rained down onto Vell as Eris looked in haunting shock. Just like Eris saw what happened to Vell when he died that day, Alak-Hul, the Darkblade ended his life after Thralls consumed his Ghost's Light.

"No! No, Vell! Not again..." Eris dropped onto her knees again, pain in her voice as she witnessed Vell getting killed before her very eyes once again, at least the Phantom of Vell that showed a memory from Eris's mind.

The slam of the axe and Eris's pleads of horror was enough to make Y/N and Supergirl rush up the stairs during their arrival, their eyes laid upon the axe that was burrowed onto the Phantom of Vell Tarlowe. 

"Shit" Y/N whispered to himself while approaching Eris quickly. Once again, Kara went to check on Eris before she shrugged Kara's hand off her politely, just like last time.

No words were said however, Eris quietly mourned for Vell as Kara stood over with a saddened expression, she felt bad for Eris, losing her Fireteam in the worst possible way...

Y/N understood the heavy burden of losing a Fireteam, Eris lost hers way before he lost his, most of his friends were gone, only a few remained...

Eris... Eris didn't have much friends left...

"Eris..." Y/N knelt down to her level as the Darkblade's axe soon disappeared with Glace making herself known next. "Supergirl found this during our investigation in the Catacombs again, recent Hive activity was spiking around the area".

"It's Vell Tarlowe's mark" Glace then spoke up, presenting it to Eris as she carefully accepted the Mark of Vell Tarlowe. "We believe you should have this".

"I... I..." Eris seemed to stumble on her words. "I can't believe it... Vell..." Eris stood up, examining the Mark for herself, recognizable to her the day he died. "He forged a link for every life he rescued... One of these... Is for me" she exclaimed, the Phantom of Vell Tarlowe soon floated up and then... Vanished in a whispering "thank you" to Eris, only she could hear it. "Thank you for bringing this back" she looked at the trio before looking out to the Pyramid again.

"You're welcome" Supergirl smiled in tenderness behind it. "We're just trying to help a friend" she said with her heart.

The trio hadn't seen it, but Eris slightly smiled to herself for a moment hearing Kara mention the word "friend" about her. Something she hasn't really had in a long time.

"I did not want to ask Vell to join our Fireteam - I knew he would say yes" Eris decided to give a form of info on Vell Tarlowe, to hide the smile she secretly gave out. "But he found out...and volunteered".

"I heard he was part of the Pilgrim Guard" Kara then spoke up. "He led refugees through enemy territory and fought battles he only had to fight".

"That is true" Eris answered a few seconds after the Girl of Steel spoke. "He was subtle... For a Titan...  Perhaps too subtle, when it mattered" she turned around to face the trio once more. "More work is yet to be done, there is something I must discuss, regarding the attention of Toland's presence here".

"Ah, was wondering when Toland's presence would be properly discussed" Y/N expressed interest, knowing Toland has been watching him and Supergirl on the Moon recently, stalking the both of them even.

"We'll discuss it at the Sanctuary, I will await you there" Eris nodded before vanishing out of sight with a light shimmer, and soon... The three remaining Phantoms that haunted her soon followed and vanished, leaving the trio alone, as they nodded at each other...

________________________________________________________________________________

To be continued...

A/N: Bit of a shorter chapter this time around, it's not short, short but you get what I mean... On the other note, you'll be seeing chapter lengths like these now and then, but for important arcs like the New Krypton arc (Yes, New Krypton arc will be in this story later on down the line) will probably have very long chapter lengths, since it's also a Supergirl arc as well, which is very important to her character in this story.

Hope you've been enjoying this story so far, from all the character's ups and downs, growth and etc. From cute moments, to questionable moments...

And of course... A new mysterious character has been revealed in this chapter... I wonder who it could be??
