And don't yell at that woman talking to you down there. Eden. She's like family to me.

Speaking of family, what did Lyle d -

No, I'm not even going to ask.

This is all gonna sound really weird, but just stick with me okay? It's not as bad as it seems. Well. Okay. It is that bad, but it's probably better than wherever and whatever you just came from. I don't know... what's going on really, but you're in some kind of alternate dimension place called the City. People get pulled here randomly, when they die, stuff like that and -

Wait.

You didn't, like, drown or anything did you? Did someone - stop being so nosy, Claire Sorry, that's really invasive.

....do we have like a thing or something? What is going on here.

It'll be okay. If you need help...

It's OBVIOUSLY not good. They're rounding us all up. They're gonna put us in a camp. And I didn't even know 'us' existed until a few days ago, so this is really kind of a weird time in my life for me.

She doesn't sound like family. She sounds like your dad, who I guess is family, so-- nevermind. If you say she's trustworthy then she's trustworthy.

I didn't plan to leave you. I never-- you told me I would be okay if I just listened to everything you told me to do. And that's what I plan on doing. Because it's not like this situation is any more retarded than anything else in my life has been for a year.

...did I--

Did I drown? Seriously?

You know my da -

Rounding people up?

If you know my dad, then you must have a power. An ability or something. Is that what he's... I knew it. I knew this would start happening again. Was Mohinder rig - no. But he can't do it by himself - well he probably could - who's doing this? Right, the government probably. Does that mean -

This is headache inducing, and I keep talking out loud, just...

Forget that I said all that, okay?

No one's going to get you here. You might not be safe from certain things, but you're safe from anything like being put in a camp or rounded up or something, and the things that can bother you here are just annoying in comparison to anything like that. I promise. I hope this isn't a trick.

voice;

[adamantined]

And yes! Seriously! But if you have a special ability...

Is that your ability? Can you like - do you do something with water?

It's the government. The department of Homeland Security. Look, that's all I know. And I only learned that about two days ago. Your dad's been watching me for a few years now, though.

I'm here with you, though, so. I'll be safe.

I can sort of...breathe. Underwater.

That's my ability.

... Like a fish? Do you have gills? Well obviously you don't have gills. I mean, I could see you, on your post. Just a second ago.

voice;

[adamantined]

You said they were after us. You know what I can do then.

voice; private;

[feltlikeafreak]

No...I don't...have gills. I don't know how it works. I can just get the oxygen out of the water somehow. Otherwise I would probably die on land if I wasn't covered in slime like a newt or something.

voice;

[feltlikeafreak]

Yeah. You showed me and explained to me.

I know you're pretty amazing.

Not knowing how it works is pretty standard for those things. Also, that's totally disgusting, what I'm picturing now.
