Can someone else save the world occasionally?
In my dreams, I was back to fighting evil. I'm glad I'm so good at it, but it makes for a bad night's sleep.
I was in what looked like Kuwait. Everyone had moved into rows of brand new double-wide trailers. (Don't laugh, overseas we often live in them.) My squad? Coworkers? had moved into one and not gotten a bed for me. I started hunting through the buildings until I found that all there were left were the defective beds. I resigned myself to sleeping in one that was broken; it was better than the floor.
Then it turned out that we had a whole bunch of inexplicable orphans living with us, and they were getting sick. I discovered it was an evil witch poisoning them with a kind of snake venom. I changed realities and recruited Severus Snape to come back with me since a potions master was someone who'd have the skills to counter a poison our normal doctors could not. Snape put on the uniform of a British officer, but not being used to wearing any "muggle" clothes, much less a military uniform, he kept messing up. He was stopped as we walked across base because he'd forgotten to put pants on.
Nonetheless, the man knew his stuff. He found out very quickly what the venom was and concocted an antidote. The first orphan to have been poisoned had died, but he administered the antidote to the others. He also wasn't willing to give up hope on the dead child, because he'd only died a few minutes before and Snape thought he might be able to revive him.
At this point, the witch came out. She was a tall and attractive lady with long dark hair. I pulled out my mjollnir for courage and she smiled at it. "Yes, you have some of His blood in you," she told me.
