Benjamin didn't answer the question yet. Yes, he wanted to go back there. Being locked inside all day was terrible. But, he wasn't sure if it was worth the risk. If he wasn't supposed to be there, he and Sara could get in trouble for it. It was a dilemma, but at least it was one he didn't have to solve immediately, as they reached the place where Ray was locked up.

"I was told we could be allowed to see other patients when they are here," he said, gesturing to the door. "It helps us realize what can happen if we don't take our pills, and it may help the other patient to get a grip on reality again. So, because of this, I wanted to know if you would allow me to see how Ray is doing."

Ethan gave Harriet an incredulous look when she said the other two could defend themselves.
"Sure, you can join us. I don't think they'll have something against it." He watched through the window at this side. "You're wrong though, about them being able to defend themselves. They have no skills to do that. What can they do? Ben can see invisible things and Mike can leave a vulnerable body behind as he becomes one of those invisible things Ben can see." He sighed. "It'd be best for them to leave this agency. This isn't the right place for them."

While he didn't like that idea, he hated the idea of them getting hurt even more. And he couldn't be with them all the time to keep them out of harm's way. Not if he wanted to do the things he liked to do.

Benjamin turned to Sara when she asked her question about the green room, a friendly smile on his face. "Green room?" he repeated. "The only special rooms I've seen so far are the padded room they are keeping Ray in, a white room where we had light therapy, and that enclosed garden."

His smile faltered when he thought back to that garden. He really wanted to be outside again, but that small bit of outdoor was closed off. While he had considered it kind at the time they had let him in there, now he considered it cruel they had let him have a taste of that and then keep it out of his reach. A reward for good behaviour, just another ploy to get him to follow their rules and swallow their medication.

"What makes the green room special?" he asked.

"What a very unhuman thing to say," Chiyoko muttered to herself as she sauntered away, smiling as she did. But then again, the spider woman didn't look that much like a human. A recent change, she had heard. But an interesting woman for sure, she'd enjoy talking with Rose.
She left the room.

After Ethan and Harriet had settled, agent Barrow started driving and he and agent Morrison chatted amongst themselves. Ethan didn't really pay much attention to it and watched the city pass before his eyes.
He blinked when he thought he heard Gaia.
I want Ethan back. I want him safe.
Where had they taken her? He had asked Barrow and Morrison about it, but they weren't sure where Gaia was. It wasn't their department to lock creatures up to study them, their department was extermination. Girl, I'll figure out where they are keeping you, and I'll come and get you he thought to himself.

Harriet's voice pulled him out of his thoughts and he turned to her. "Mike and Ben? They were grabbing a movie last I heard. TKnowing them they'll go to bed straight after. They're fine. I'm meeting them at sunrise."

There once was a man named John Bello
Who had dimples a plenty, I tell you.
He fell in a hole,
but that was the goal.
For he was a golf ball sized fellow.

The coughing and rolling made Michael sigh in relief, and he smiled a bit when Niccia grabbed his hand. He only glanced briefly at Fez before returning his attention to Niccia. "I'm sure you would have warned my if this was usual," he said, and he didn't sound upset about it. With Niccia seemingly getting better he wasn't angry, just worried this could happen again.

"We're about to find out," Dialga answered as he watched the events at the gate and waited for what Vatier had to say for himself.

Harcu frowned and was about to say he hadn't brought anything useful to the party since he hadn't expected there would be problems that required items to solve, when one of the humans and a Furret joined them.

"I've got a clean empty water bottle and a couple of potions we can empty if all you require is the bottle," Andy said. He had wandered in this direction, as he thought he could be of more use here than at the already crowded gate, and he wanted to give the couple a moment to themselves. He turned to Kim. "Will you..."
Even before he could finish his sentence, Kim nodded and with an Agility rushed to where Andy had dropped his backpack.

As Kim went for the backpack, Andy glanced in the direction of Michael and Niccia when Lecrero asked about her. "She's alive," he said to answer Lecrror's unfinished question. "Still hurt and I have no idea about internal damage, but alive at least."

Meanwhile, Kim reached the bagpack put it over her shoulders and rushed back to them, where she opened the bag and searched for a bottle to give to Kyio.

Ra watched Vatier change as he dropped to his knees. Children? Since when? Ra caught Luna's glance and shifted back into his human form.
"Your children are caught," he repeated. "How many do you have and who are they?"
