Chapter Text
"Oooh wow! What an exciting dream we got here! A chase between bad guys and the dreamer holding the sacred treasure!" Jack cheered while floating on the air, observing everything. He makes popcorn appear from thin air and began to eat them.
He saw the motorboat speeding through the river, gun shooting included but the dreamer manage to evade them. He make a turn and he escaped from the bad guys.
Jack sighed, he got used to weird transition of the dream. If it's in movies or real life, he wouldn't be escaping that easy by just 'make a turn'. But he couldn't complain because he sneaks to a stranger's dream.
Or dreamer, is what he call them.
Jack been gifted by this amazing power ever since he was born, inside a dream he can either watch, join or modified the dream. He done many dream modification but seemingly cannot make the dream bad or turn it to nightmare. That's up to the dreamer.
If he caught in a nightmare, he forced to join and stay until the dreamer woke up.
If he dies inside a dreamer's dream scenario, actually he never went to that scenario. And he surely avoid dying inside a dream. Thankfully he enters the dream mentally not physically so if he's injured, he only feeling it.
"This dream is 2.5 stars, because why there is a kitchen in the middle of river?!" Jack sighed and flying off to the edge of the dream and squeeze himself out from it. Now he is floating at the quiet night of the city.
Various colorful mists also scattered everywhere, dreamer's dream. Now he already marked which person he had entered and some already put on blacklist because it turned to a nightmare many times.
"Uhm, not that one, been there..hmmm.."
He hover around the hospital, the place with lots of dreams. He is hesitant to see dream of bedridden patients, some can turn to nightmare in an instant.
But there's also some people who don't dream. He prefer adult dreamer because they at least, makes sense. Children dreams is plain and predictable, they play with toys or animal but then, that's it. Some also a bit blurry for Jack to understand.
"Let's pick this dream" Jack enters the dream and greeted with warm air and sunlight. It seems that he's on a central park.
Realistic dream, huh? The purest dream in his opinion, in here he can judge the dreamer's strong desire to fulfill his wish in real life even if he's dreaming.
"Okay, show me the dreamer" Jack focusing and it leads back to the hospital, the dream version.
The hospital full of people but their appearance is blurred out, that means the dreamer cannot picture them but knew there are people.
He arrived at a room and shift himself in, there is only a person sitting on a chair, an IV connected to his hand. The person just staring at the window, looking at the park. It was a man with light brown faux mohawk hair. Almost same as Jack's but his is longer.
The man is just keep sitting still and keep staring on the window. He hasn't notice Jack is behind him.
Normally Jack keeping a distance because dreamer can notice him, but this time he felt like he's being drawn in by the presence of that man.
He shift back out and knock the door, he can pretend that he was old schoolmates or something. After all, it's just a dream.
"Hi, Robin?" Jack read the name card in front the door one more time before coming in.
The man turned around and slowly stand up, "Oh hello, who are you?" he ask with soft and low voice.
"I'm your classmate from elementary school, only through the second grade, you probably forget me, Jack"
"I'm..sorry, I don't remember you. Have a seat" Robin going back to sit on the bed and adjust his blanket.
"So, how are you doing?"
"..same as usual, living in a hospital" his eyes looked sad but forcing to smile at Jack.
