This one was messed up.
So I'm playing as Dick Grayson... like, literally playing as if he were a videogame, moving him around and such. He's in some sort of assassin Nightwing get up, I don't even know, and the setting is like old runes out of a nightmare. He uses his sticks to fight, and it feels like I'm making him do combo moves. My favourite seemed to be one where he would press the enemies neck between his legs oh ho ho. Anyways, it was pretty cool and surreal with all that was happening. He eventually finds Batgirl and she accompanies him, making this her first appearance in a dream that I can recall. She didn't actually do any fighting though since I found her toward the end of all that. Now, why is Dick Grayson fighting in this weird landscape? Well, I eventually find out that HE'S ACTUALLY DEAD AND THEY'RE ALL IN SOME HELLISH LIMBO.
Yeah. He and Barbara and everyone else in this weird plane of existence is actually dead. He completed a 'challenge' and his reward was 1) to find out the truth of his being dead and 2) the option to ressurect anyone. Now, he's about to be all noble and give it to Babs, who then engages in an argument with him that is pretty much no you should, no you. Except--shock--the oddly Lucifer-like character who is telling him all this warns him that maybe there are others here who he'd like to consider...
Like his daughter. That's when, oh snap, like he had forgotten until that point he remembers he's a father and is dismayed to find out that his daughter is dead and trapped here too. So it seems like the choice is made for him, UNTIL DAMIAN SHOWS UP as his adult self in a weirdly demonic (but totally cool) Batman suit and tells him not to worry, he's come for Mar'i and that Dick should use it on himself. Which only brings him back to square one because now he's once again trying to decide between sending Babs or himself.
Now Damian seems to channel my actual bias in this whole thing, but I think it's also in character that he wants Dick alive so he tries to pressure him using the daddy angle--you know, Mar'i needs him and how would he explain to her that her father decided to stay back just so he could send his girlfiend, and then that of course adds fuel to Batgirl's fire about sending Dick back to life instead. Lucifer-like-dude gets in on it too and says that how betrayed his daughter would feel if she knew that between saving her mother and saving this woman he'd make the choice of the latter.
Batgirl assures him she'll find some way back on her own and not to worry. So therefore Dick finally decides okay, he's resurrecting himself, and Damian goes off to get his lady love. That's the dream XD
