[b][u]Nightmare from Ireland[/u][/b]
[i]Dreams of Sarah Grey[/i]
She stood alone, in the Dojo Woods. Words echoed from a mysterious memory she had but couldn't figure out where it was from.
[i]"Everybody's sorry fer somethin, but yer still selfish enough ta do it in the first place."[/i]
"Who's saying that?" She asked.
She slowly turned around. Sarah saw someone behind her. A Hunter, no less. A Hunter, with the hood of his cloak up.
The armor was unrecognizable to her. Literally. It was like what his armor was supposed to be was erased from her mind.
"Who are you?" She demanded, her right hand reaching for her Dark-Drinker, the sword that rested strapped to her back.
"Ya don't... remember me love?" The Hunter asked, an Irish accent was prominent.
He pulled down the hood of his cloak. The Hunter had short, wavy, dark brown hair, and brown eyes. He had two red stripe tattoos running down his left cheek.
Surely, Sarah would remember someone who would stand out like that in a crowd... right? Yet, she still didn't recognize him.
The Hunter spoke again, "Sarah, love? Where's yer ring." He was looking at her right hand. He reached for it, taking her hand, looking at it. Her hand was bare, without glove. She pulled her hand away.
"Why would I have a ring?" She demanded, "I'm not engaged. Or married. Or even dating. I've been single for years!"
"Ya don't remember...?" He asked, "Yer married... ta me. Don't ya remember, Lady Warlock?" The Hunter had called her that, and those words felt.... familiar.
Sarah's hand reached for the Dark-Drinker, again, "What do you mean?! It's been just me and Lunar. And recently Seraph, but that's aside from the point. I don't love you. I don't even [i]know[/i] you! Get away from me!"
"Sarah..." the Hunter begged, weakly.
Her hand wrapped around her sword's handle. Pulling it off her back. She swung it once, and the Dark-Drinker decapitated the Hunter.[spoiler]Stabbed in the heart with the Feels-Lighter.™ Bad spirit Dojo James. Bad Spirit Dojo James. I'll call Ghostbusters on you again.[/spoiler]

[i]02:54, Dojo Woods, and Coincedently Near where Zavala's Shallow, Unmarked Grave Is.[/i]
The Warlock awoke, sweating. She was breathing heavily.
Lunar appeared, calming her down, "Easy, easy, Sarah. It was just a nightmare."
"Lunar?" She asked, sitting up.
"Yeah?" The Ghost asked.
"For a Ghost that sounds like Nolan North, you know how to calm people down. Thanks."
"Want Seraph to lull you back to sleep again?" He asked.
"No, but I do want to speak to her, Seraph!"
The whitish-grey code replica of the Warlock appeared at her left shoulder, "Yes, Miss Grey?"
"I told you to drop the formalities, geez. I thought your patronizing subroutines were offline. Anyway, have you found any similarities between the memories and the nightmare?" Sarah asked.
"Just your impulsiveness. Nothing else. That Hunter isn't showing up in any of our memories. More information may be needed," Seraph replied.
"Nothing in any of my memories, either," Lunar said.
"This probably isn't a missing piece," Sarah said.
"It could be," Seraph suggested.
"Seraph, it probably isn't," the Guardian argued.
Seraph muttered something, "Tá do stubbornness ag clashing le do instincts arís."
"What?" Sarah asked.
"Nothing...." Seraph replied.

"Goodnight, Lunar...." Bedlam trailed off falling asleep. ~~~~Hours later~~~~ He slowly blinked his eyes open early in the morning with a groan. "F*ck sleeping on a floor...."
-
The Titan light clone was still standing over him. It was still guarding her. Lunar was lying next to the bed on the ground, in some sort of rest mode.
-
Bedlam slowly stood up, cracking his back loudly as he stretched. "Why didn't I just sleep in the same bed? Not like I'd have touched her or anything..." He glanced over to see if Sarah was awake at all.
-
She was still asleep. The light clone sat down next to her. It set down its sword. And its circular shield. It was a rather peculiar light fragment. It somehow took off its helmet, kissing her forehead. Its voice was unfamiliar to Bedlam, and it lacked an accent of any kind. It spoke two words, "I'm sorry." Then, it was gone.
-
Bedlam watched with curiousity before sitting down on the bed where it sat a second ago. "Weird....Hey, Sarah? Wakey wakey, beautiful. Can't sleep forever." He lightly shook her shoulder with a smile.
-
She started to wake, stretching. "Good mornimg."
-
"Good morning to you too, sleepy head. Did you sleep well? Wonderful dreams of pleasure?" He chuckled.
-
"I guess," she said, rubbing her eyes.
-
"Not a morning person? That's fine. Hey, what are you thinking for breakfast? You have a favorite? I like chocolate chip pancakes." He seemed to be full of energy despite just waking up.
-
"The best kind of pancakes," she replied.
-
"Ah, so you have great taste in food as well!" Bedlam laughed as he vanished for a second before reappearing with a plate of fresh chocolate chip pancakes. "Lucky for you I'm capable creating them real fast. Here, breakfast in bed."
-
"Thank you!" She replied. Out of the air, a the molecules stsrted to change and form a fork and bottle of chocolate syrup. [spoiler]Damn, I love her telekinesis.[/spoiler]
-
Bedlam looked at what she did with surprise. "Looks like someone else has the laziest powers ever too. Nice." He handed over the plate to her before going and getting his own, returning back to his spot on the bed once more to eat.
-
She sat up, a tray appearing, as he set her plate on it. She covered in chocolate syrup and chowed down.
-
Bedlam did the exact same as Sarah, eating the pancakes on his lap with a smile. "I always get told this is unhealthy, but I really don't care. Tastes too good."
-
"I can return to prime condition by dying then being revived. So if I ever get fat, let me know. I'll have a bullet ready," she chuckled.
-
"Bah! It'll take more than a couple of pancakes to ruin that perfect figure of yours." Bedlam joked back finishing his food. "Not sure if it could ever go back."
-
She blushed a bit, then continued eating.
-
"Cute blush by the way." He commented as he stood up, getting off the bed.
-

-
"Yoohoo! Tataki to Sarah! You still with us?" Bedlam waved a hand in front of Sarah's face, friendly smile still on his face. "You remembering something or what?"
-
"Yeah. I'm still here, remembering something," she replied.
-
"Stop being adorable for once, will ya? You're killing me." He removed the blanket from the floor that he was sleeping on and hid it away.
-
She grinned, "I will never stop being adorable."
-
"Well then...." He laughed. "I guess I'll die from adorableness overdose if I stick near you."
