Shimmering blue blanketed the underground city as the light reflected off the sapphires in the ceiling. It cast its eerie glow, almost mimicking the effect of light on water without the sort of freeing peace one might feel with the soft ocean waves. Figuring out how deep down the city was located was near impossible when the air was obviously heated to something approaching comfortable, and nothing seemed to echo too far past the quiet hum of the city.

Workers made their way down the street, every one with a Sleeper in tow. Something that would have been unheard of only a few days ago, now more likely than one would think. They intended to start slow, but considering how many others were still in cryo, this was a laidback pace.

"That's fine," Cabanela said, cheerful as evil. "Toootally fine, baby." He wasn't the sort to think that she would instantly hug him and be excited to have an uncle here in the city. They didn't know each other. That, and he had a sneaking suspicion that these supposed real memories weren't as real as the people in charge would like him to believe.

He paused, glancing around as stealthily as possible. Nothing that looked like cameras, nothing that looked like guards around. "It's Cabanela, by the way," he said in the lowest voice he could manage.

Cabanela, huh? She wasn't sure if that was a first or last name, but she was willing to bet on the latter. Elena bit her lip slightly, eyes darting around. Even if there weren't visible cameras, that didn't necessarily mean there wasn't some other way of tracking their movements. This place was pretty futuristic-looking. Think Star Wars or something.

"You know, my name was Elena in my dream," she said cheerfully, almost like a random side thought. "Pretty weird, huh? It doesn't sound anything like Chloe. I wonder where my subconscious got it."

He smiled. "Our brains are strange, aren't they?" he asked cheerfully, aware of how strange of a conversation this was. But at the same time, he didn't want to get this girl into trouble. Even if she wasn't supposedly his relative, he wouldn't let her. It would be too much like getting Lynne in trouble.

"Maybe there was a script writer for our dreams. That might explain a thing or two."

"Maybe," she responded thoughtfully. Elena even relaxed slightly, because even though she had just met him, she just had this feeling of... comfort, chatting with him. He just had a natural charisma. "But they'd have to be incredibly creative to come up with what I dreamed about."

Cabanela had that affect on people. It certainly helped keep moral up in serious situations. "You're telling me," he said with a slight chuckle. "I wonder how many of us Sleepers had bizarre dreams. Maybe it's something in the water."

"I already met one guy with even weirder dreams than me," Elena said with a small smile. Then she lets out a small sigh. "Though as far as reality goes, this is a pretty depressing one to wake up to."

"Maybe they have a hell of a writing team," Cabanela said with a smirk. But that left him wondering what was going on. Somewhere, something didn't add up. He just had to find out where, and what. "If we're supposed to return to our homes, we'll find out something. At least, I sure hope so."
