[Kara snoring]

[exhales]

[yawns]

Ugh!

Yah!

Yah!

[grunting]

Yah!

[screaming]

[grunting]

[yells]

[panting]

[exhales]

[screaming]

Kara, are you okay?

Um... [chuckles]

Yeah, yeah. Just a little
nightmare, I guess.

Ooh! I read in Batman's Guide to
Criminal Psychoanalysis, 12th Edition,

that nightmares are how our
subconsciousnesses force us to look at

our deepest insecurities and
fears, and the emotions in them

are actually the emotions we need
to be examining in the real world

because they always connect to
whatever's happening in our lives

and they always tell us things about ourselves
that our conscious minds can't handle.

Or did I dream that?

Oh! Nightmares are the worst.

I despise nightmares.

I do, too.

What? Since when are
all of you so nightmarey?

What, you don't have
bad dreams?

I don't have fears or insecurities,
hidden or otherwise,

and I simply don't understand
why you girls would, either.

You're all too fabulous
for that sort of thing.

Can we please stop
talking about this?

Don't worry, Karen, there aren't gonna
be any bad dreams at this sleepover

'cause we're gonna party
all night long.

[snoring]

[all snoring, sighing]

Ugh!

[grunts]

[grunts angrily]

Kara?

[grunting]

[whimpering]

[grunts, mumbles]

[grunts]

[whimpers]

What is going on?

[gasps] Magic.

[whispering spell]

[gasps] Oh...

Oh, my.

[all whimpering]

Well, if that's
what it takes.

[casting spell]

[whimpers]

[Kara's voice echoing] Hello?

- Hello?
- Karen.

Oh, thank goodness
you're all right.

[stammers]
I'm Karen Beecher.

And I'm here to... to...

[male voice]
Get on with it, kid.

We ain't getting any
younger, you know?

I'm here to... to...

give a speech about the quantum
mechanical model of the atom!

Oh, no. Public speaking.
Karen's greatest fear.

[Karen breathing heavily]

Oh, no. I forgot to study!

[male voice] Tsk, tsk, tsk!
So irresponsible.

[laughing maliciously]

Karen! This isn't real.

If anything, you study too much.
This is just a dream.

[screams] Not the bunny
jammies from Aunt Carol.

- [laughter]
- [male voice mocking] Aw, the baby's cwying...

in front of
the whole school!

[laughter continues]

[giggling]

She won't wake up.
I've gotta find another way.

- [rustling]
- [distant howling]

[grunts]

Silence. They approach.

Jaws of steel,
fangs like swords.

Their kind have terrorized the forests
of the Earth since time immemorial,

ravaging whatever creature they
should find for their supper.

Yet, in the world of man,
they place these monsters

in the cradles of babes!

[teddy bear]
I like to hug.

Wow! Really, Diana?

[both] I like to hug.

[all] I like to hug.

I like to hug.

- [screams] Demons!
- [teddy bears chanting] I like to hug.

[Wonder Woman]
Ugh! Their horrible softness!

[chanting continues]

[laughing wickedly]

- Hello?
- [Batgirl exclaiming]

Zee! Quick! Run!

[scoffs] What now?
Easter bunnies?

- [roars]
- Oh, yeah, that's much scarier.

[both screaming]

[both exclaiming]

Quick. Throw me
the shark-repellent Bat-Spray!

The what-y what what now?

Hurry!

Geez, Babs, your nightmares
are weirder than you are.

[fast-paced music playing]

[laughing wickedly]

You. What are you doing
in my friends' dreams?

[laughing]

Riding a flying shark.
Typical Wednesday.

- [grunts angrily]
- [laughing]

[screams] Help!

Who are you,
you little creep?

[male voice]
I am the bump in the night.

I am the monster
under the bed.

I am Fuseli,
Lord of Night Terrors!

What, am I supposed
to be impressed?

Why are you
in my friends' dreams?

Ah-ah-ah. Nightmares.

That's where
the real fun is.

Them delicious fears and
insecurities to feed off of.

[laughing wickedly]

[Fuseli] This one here,

there's a gold mine of fears and
insecurities in these types.

You just have to
dig deep enough.

[female voice echoing] You're
not good enough, Jessica Cruz.

You're weak!

Useless!

The Green Lantern Corps
made a huge mistake.

[Fuseli laughing]

These shelves sound
just like my ex.

Jess, hang on!

[casting spell]

My powers!

These nightmares
belong to me.

You ain't got no power here.

- [grunts angrily]
- [shelves creaking]

[straining]

I have no power... here.

[casting spell]

Where you going? Things
were just getting fun.

Ugh, what's this?

The "before" on
a home makeover show?

This, my rude little friend,

is you making
a critical mistake.

- [upbeat music playing]
- You see, you're in my dream now.

And since I have
no fears or insecurities,

that means
you have no power.

But I do!

[music continues playing]

What, am I supposed
to be impressed?

[grunts]

[Zatanna]
Why you slimy little...

[grunts]

[Fuseli] Speaking as
a monster under the bed,

you find the most entertaining
things under here.

[gasps]

What, you didn't know
about this?

Everyone's afraid of somethin'.

Even you.

Ooh, someone else magically
locked these fears away for you.

[laughs] Very interesting.

It's, like,
foreshadowing or something.

[gasps, stammers]
But that's... me.

[Fuseli] Your fear is
the funnest kind.

[grunts]

[straining] What is this?

You.
You're afraid of yourself...

and what your magic
might do.

[Zatanna grunts]

[gasps]

[laughing]

You're afraid that somewhere deep
inside is something dark. [gasps]

[casting spell]

- No!
- Just like her.

Crush!

[straining]

[Zatanna grunting]

So much for... [mimicking]
"Ooh, I'm Zatanna,

I don't have
no fears or insecurities."

Wrong!

- [straining]
- [cracking]

I am not afraid!

[casting spell]

[grunts]

Whoa, whoa, whoa! What do
you think you're doing?

[grunts] You're right, Fuseli.

This is my magic!

All of it.

What I know,
what I've yet to discover,

good or bad,
dark or light,

it's mine to do with
as I choose!

And I choose to end your reign,
Lord of Night Terrors.

[screams]

[casting spell]

[grunts] Let me go,
you little...

[girls groaning]

Huh?

Oh! Uh, girls,
meet Fuseli...

- [straining]
- Lord of... well, nothing now. [chuckles]

He was causing
your nightmares.

But don't worry.
Outside the dream realm,

he's completely, totally,
and utterly powerless.

Hmph!

So, what do we do
with him?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe something to do with
hidden fears and insecurities?

[gulps]

That'll be... I don't know,
