«We Could be Heroes»

Barnes sighed, glancing over his shoulder at the kid, "Dang it," he said under his breath, though he knew Chaar could hear it. "Come over here, I'll show you." He pulled on her shoulder, guiding her toward the cluster of computer monitors.

He pressed a button on the display, and a beach appeared on one of the screens. "See this? This is what is called a sound. Just a finger of ocean sticking out onto the land. Kinda like a Fjord." Then he pressed another button, and the scenery changed to show a field of bubbles.
Crow stepped forward, squinting at the computer monitors. He wondered why Barnes was showing them a sound.
 
"These," Barnes said, pulling up more images of the bubbles, "Is a highly developed penitentiary. They put the prisoner in hypersleep, which is why this place is often called the Sound of Silence."
"What's that have to do with Firestein?" Crow asked suspiciously, examining the bubbles. "And why are there so much bubbles?"
 
Charlotte shuddered. "Is that what they would've done to me?"

He nodded, "The prisoners were sometimes kept in silence their whole lives, and if they did manage to wake up, they would die from lack of food. Almost like a bear waking from hibernation." He shrugged at his stupid comparison.

"What's that have to do with Firestein?" Crow asked suspiciously, examining the bubbles. "And why are there so much bubbles?"

"I'm getting to that." He said, glaring at the impatient boy, "This was the prison for the inhumans, prior to their release. Some, like Firestein, think that they should return."

"So basically, why can't I kill him and get it over with? Hello, strength, brains, and speed!" Char said.
 
Rex glared at Janet.
"Wyvern. I'm part wyvern." He said.
"Eh. Whatevs." She said, not quite paying attention. She brushed back Leona's hair, "What about the old man with glasses? Did he keep you there long? What was his name?" She said.
"Um." The girl went up to Rex, reaching for one of his wings, "A long time. He said just call him Dobby."
 
"So basically, why can't I kill him and get it over with? Hello, strength, brains, and speed!" Char said.
"It's not that easy. He's a manipulator, and a strong speaker. He says..." he drummed his fingers on the back of the office chair. "They say that the inhumans are an 'exotic species,' and they're going to drive the Originals into extinction."
