I've had this dream before. Many times, actually.
The first time we failed entirely. The rest were always little inches to victory... then this one;

TW// Death, dismemberment, imprisonment, unfair treatment, child endangerment/injury, political corruption, murder, genocide(?)

Also I use "demonstrate" instead of shot/firing squad for my own comfort

These dreams have a lot of recognizable characters, that or wear the names of recognizable characters.

So; the government kidnapped every superhero they could and succeeded. They built a giant prison that none of them could escape from(especially cause their powers were made useless from some type of material

My POV at the start was actually a teenager I didn't recognize. I decided that "fuck this shit" and hacked the TV so we could have a fun time while locked up for God knows how long (we were all shoved in a room on the 30th floor of the prison, I don't think they had proper cells yet)

So this pisses the guards off and they come in, ready to take away our TV and to "demonstrate" why we were all here

There were kids here. Babies. Entire families. Many of whom who didnt have any powers at all.

It was now or never. We all had to escape.

I, the teenage girl, decided to say "fuck it" and tackled the guards in the doorway, biting and scratching their faces like a wild animal cornered(essential I was)

Then it turns into chaos.

Alarms are blaring. People are screaming.

Everyone ran the second they could, some heroes even taking the windows and applying their training to get down.... they were unlucky...
Some took babies but many of the ones who stayed back to grab the babies were terminated...

POV shift to Nightwing, who's by himself and finds a staircase. But, obviously, there's going to be guards coming up so he hides in a side room, ready to bolt when no more guards use the stairs.

After 10 minutes, guards start checking the hallway and one rookie stumbles into the room. The rookie is joined by other officers but Nightwing BOOKS it. He uses a vent and jumps into a string of boilers all oddly stacked(like one of those fall maps from minecraft)

Guards finds him immedietly so Nightwing jumps down, looking up to realize there were several heroes hiding there and... he just doomed them all. He plunged into the darkness, unsure where he was going or if it was worth all the pain at all.

POV change to an omnipresent view of a bunch of different people trying to escape.

A hulk type manages to rip open the door of the courtyard and free a few heroes, getting "demonstrated" for his efforts.

The chase is on.

A few princess type girlies(Ariel,Lottie, and someone that resembled both Ariel and Repunzel?) Were trying to find an escape through a pool(recreational for the guards living on prison grounds), but only Ariel found a way she could escape because, despite not having any of her powers, she was still a mermaid and could breathe underwater(that's not power that's biology?)

But Ariel doesn't want to leave Lottie or redhead Repunzel behind(they're her besties).
This gets her killed as guards bust into the pool.
Ariel is crying and she's apologizing but Lottie and Redhead loop arms with her, comforting her and reveling in their sisterhood and friendship before... well... you know.

At the door hulk threw open, there's some other heroes trying to break out but the government shut it tight. And, when a hero manages to get the door off, there's another door much thicker and reinenforced.
A hero climbs up, but it meet with little balls of electricity on tiny wires. Instantly, they're shocked with enough electricity to kill them.

Those heroes are surrounded.

Finally, I'm in the POV of a mother, carrying her little redhead into a busy school yard. Somehow we managed to escape, separated from Father and Baby Sister.

I take a deep breath and try to be as casual as possible. It was Son's school before we moved away...built only a block away from the prison. I chatted with old friends, but Son refused to leave me.

Then Son's old friends came up and asked to hang out

"Can I have your hat...?" Son asked

Friend takes it off and hands it over. "Sure what for?"

"I don't like being the only redhead..."

foreshadowing

So I'm watching Son like a hawk and the surrounding school ground goers.
Then I start hearing cars and glance back; black military cars, people in suits asking questions.

Thankfully, I wasn't the obvious superhero looking type, I didn't even have powers, so I did have a lotta fear but not enough to make me look suspicious.

1) don't leave too early or that's suspicious
2) don't leave too late or that's suspicious
3) don't ramble or that's suspicious
4) Give. Away. Nothing.

So, after a couple minutes, thankfully I wasnt approached, i try to go grab Son but then I hear; "A kid with red hair? Oh yeah, I saw one earlier, hard to miss."

Alright, we gotta go.

I pick up Son but noticed a little girl his age with a camera. I marched up to her, demanding to know why she was taking pictures of my son.

With the most shit eating grin I ever saw the girl said; "Cause he doesn't like it~"

Something infected Mother here because she grabbed the girl's wrist, and TWISTED IT OFF??? LIKE SO CLEANLY TOO THAT THE GIRL WASNT EVEN BLEEDING?? OR CRYING??

or....crying....

...this was her power...

I picked her up and took her to the nearest bathroom, locking ourselves in. I set my sleeping Son on the sink and get to work sewing the girl's arm on. In a few seconds though, her arm reattached and healed over,, leaving only a wrap around scar

"Tell no one about these powers, okay? Some very mean people want you dead."

"Okay..."

I picked up Son, took Girl's hand, and we walked out.

Only for me to have to yell at a buncha men for being in the women's bathroom. I scared them off with my scary charm but I heard one of them say "redhead".

Get out get out get out

Unfortunately for us, we were being followed by Suits. I returned the girl to her mom, saying she had a booboo and I panicked and fixed her up. Mom gave me a questioning look and I gave her a knowing one, flicking my eyes toward the Suits about 10-15 feet from me(3 meters?) And Mom clicked in right away, thanking me and saying we should get up a play date soon. Agreed.

Time to go!

...Son and I don't get far...

Suits surrounded us the second we left. I cry and beg for our lives, saying no one from our family had powers.
They ddidn't care... they surrounded us but I plead with the Detective(He was ahnging around the school park the entire time with his daughter), to at least get an explanation.

A private one.

He does, using his car to shield us from the Suits. And any exits.

Detective starts explaining but, as he moves his car, I 'trip' and 'drop' Son in front of the car, using fake packets of blood(dream logic dgo with it) to make it seem like he was hurt bad, then wail like a banshee saying "you killed my son! My baby boy! You killed him!"

This draws a crowd of innocent bystanders, some of who began to take pictures.

Suits and Detective look nervous, as, you know, this was suppose to be a top secret genocidal mission sent by government orders.

I pick up Son, continously wailing and sobbing and I carried him toward the park. I had to bury my son before i died. Who was the Suits and Detective to stop me with such a big audience.

As I approach the forest part of the school park, Son wakes up and hes confused but he sees the forest and all his little friends.

And they make us disappear.

I didn't have a power. But my son did.
He could talk to the forest and every little creatuee it hid. Those creatures took us in. They gave us mercy.

Mother wanted to try and hide among their fellow humans, but... she knew it was hopeless. So she created a scene, a distraction, and survived.

"What do we do about this, sir?" A suit asked detective.

"....we burn it down."

[End]

So yknow I had trauma when I woke up
Also deja vu
