WHO: Cameron |
mobius_bound and River Tam |
deusexballerinaWHERE: Their apartment flat.
WHEN: Backdated to a few minutes after Jason Todd takes justice into his own hands re: Joker.
WARNINGS: N/A
SUMMARY: River can't control what she sees when she dreams, and tonight, her dreams are particularly bad. Hope Cameron hadn't planned on getting much sleep.
FORMAT: Quick!
[ Since coming to the City, River's sleep has been restless; too many thoughts, events, dreams for her to sleep as peacefully as she did on Serenity with only a dozen minds to contend with. Too few Simons... though since moving in with Cameron, her mind, and subsequently her sleep, had eased a little. On the good nights, she sleeps dreamlessly.
Tonight is not a good night. She sees red, hears laughing, then a voice-- low and menacing-- and then there is more red, only liquid and warm and gushing-- more laughter, screaming, screaming--
River wakes up screaming, with the madness and laughter and pain ringing in her ears. ]
