"I....I don't think so" She held up her hand covered in blood. "I had a nightmare and.....and my back hurts..." She said still shaken. Was this really possible....did her dream in some way's become reality.... She felt a little woozy.

Barbara looked to her bloody hand in shock. "Dinah--!?" She was instantly worried now. Nothing was making sense. "L-- let me see your back....?" She inched closer to her and motioned. "Here... Sit down first."
Her emerald eyes turned to her blonde friend. "What kind of nightmare? Are... you sure that you didn't leave one of your daggers in your bed again?"

"I was fighting and this guy showed up with a sword...I...I didn't see him and he slashed me across the back...." she slowly sat down "we fought for a little bit and then I woke up....he called himself the sandman....said he could enter peoples fantasies." She tried to keep her hand from shaking

As Barbara slowly peeled the blood-soaked shirt from Dinah's back she lifted it up, taking a look at the slice mark on her back. She winced. That really had to hurt. "A.... man.. with a sword...?"
She furrowed her eyebrow. With her dream, she remembered a man with a jewel encrusted sword. "A sword....? Was he dressed in black?"
She frowned and quickly made her way into the bathroom and grabbed the med kit and made her way back over. "Take off your shirt for me-- So i can get this wound clean....?"
The Sandman. She sighed. "Maybe our dream related injuries aren't 'nothing' after all...."

"yeah he was dressed in black...I couldn't see his face though." She slowly pulled her shirt off.
"he must be meta or something the question is I know how he found me but how did he find you? I mean I'm an easy target I am the one on sweeps but you never leave the place how could he possibly know who you are?"
Things start to move around on her. "I....I need to lay down." She unsteadily gets up and barley makes it to the couch landing on her stomach.

As she looked over the wound on her back she shook her head in thought. "This is going to sting..." she warned, before placing a bit of iodine on a cloth and pressing it against her back.
"Seems like... maybe we have the same predator."
She closed her eyes as she let Dinah's question soak into her head. She did have a point. How DID that guy know who she was? I mean... unless there was another connection to it. "He never said he knew that I was Oracle..." she said slowly, dabbing her lower back. "He only said... 'I know who you are.' That could.... pay reference to the fact that maybe he knew I was Batgirl... or that I'm Barbara Gordon, aid to Mayor Cobblepot. It... could mean any one of those."
Barbara frowned as she watched her. "I'll run a scan on you after i stitch this and wrap your cut, okay? Just to make sure nothing else is broken..."

"All I know is that this is all to weird. " she hissed as Barbara put something on her back. "you going to superglue me up or am I okay?" She smiled slightly. "guess next time I will have to remember to ask him what he wants..."

Barbara leaned forward just slightly and sighed weakly. "It... is... actually. It's worrying me a bit more each time i think about it. I'm.. starting to wonder if anyone else that we may know is having dreams like these...
Glancing back to her wound, she blew gently over the path that she had previous dabbed with iodine. "You need a few stitches... more so on your upper back. But they're not so incredibly deep as to where superglue can't be used."
She gave her a meek smile. "So if you'd like... you actually have a choice between a needle and thread... or glue.
"Taking specific things into our subconscious dream state isn't an easy task you know..."

"well I know the superglue bottles says that it can fix anything but the thought of just glueing me up just doens't sound right so I will go with the traditional needle and thread." She sighed, she hated being patched up.
"maybe you should put out a warning or something with your little computer thingy to everyone in the area" She replied concerned.
"well if we can't do much in the dreams maybe I should get out there and start looking for this guy"

Barbara gave her a half smirk with her response. She blew a strand of hair from her eyes and rolled backward taking hold of a bottle of rubbing alcohol and popped open a small 'stitch kit.' Leave it to Dinah to bite back with an amazingly witty response. "Needle and thread it is."
Wiping down her skin once more to make sure things were as clean as they were going to get she disinfected the needled. "'Computer thingy?'" She always loved her terminology.
"That's a good idea though." she noted. "I'll make sure to put out an APB to our Gothamites to see if anything strange has been happening within their dream worlds.
"Maybe in the meantime... when I'm doing that you can do a bit of research for me? Perhaps... we can gain a lead as to whom this guy really is..." She paused, laughing faintly. "Seems you've read my mind.
"I think I know a good place to start looking. The clues are pointing me to that sword of his..."

Dinah tried to relax as Barbara worked on her back. "what kind of research are we talking? dusty old books, computer research which we both no will me a lot longer than you, or me breaking down door and asking questions research? She smiled slightly.
"all I know is that we need to find this guy and take him down because I could really use a good nights sleep."

Barbara gave a short laugh. "For as much as I love the type of research where you burst right in and kick a door down, I'm talking more of a bit of pulling books off the shelves. I may be able to pull up some kind of information from the computer, but I know first hand that a book may be more resourceful in some cases."
After finishing off Dinah's stitching, Barbara cut the thread and started to wrap the wound. "Why don't you go get dressed and cleaned up and I'll make those calls.... Afterward... we can go play Sherlock and Watson down at the library."

"thanks Doc" She smiled at her and stood up. "book Research....gee golly that sounds fun" She grinned and headed up to her room.
Dinah quickly cleaned herself up and changed into something comfortable. She tried to clean the room up a little bit taking all the blood stained sheets to the laundry. On her way down to the library she made sure to stop by the kitchen and pick up some research snacks.
"i'm here my dear watson" She grinned slightly.

Barbara gave her a look as she stood up. "Gee, Dinah. That didn't sound very enthusiastic to me." she grinned, cleaning things up and pushing them aside.
As she made her way over to the bathroom she let the water run before pumping some soap into her hands and washing them.
Ater drying them she tapped her comlink that sat in her ear, activating it. "Computer-- transpond message to all heroes within the Gotham City Area. Start. I know this may sound a bit odd, but I was wondering if you had any strange dreams over the past few nights. Anything and everything out of the ordinary. I'd appreciate you returning the message as soon as you can. There's something peculiar going on here and I'm needing assistance. Thank you." she paused. "Send."
Making her way down into library she grabbed her laptop on the way down.
Barbara smirked. "Cute..."
She propped open her laptop and grabbed a sheet of paper with a nearby pencil. "Now... according to your dream the man that was chasing after you was calling himself 'Sandman. correct?" She paused a moment. "And you said he attacked you with a sword?"

"unless he used his fingernail to do that to my back than yeah I'm pretty sure there was a sword involved..." She grinned. "yes there was a sword and he called himself the sandman, and he was kinda cocky about it." She took a seat and waited for futher instructions.
