Sheep and fluffy clouds where on the mind of the 17 year old mental patient that was lying asleep in a room. She was dropped there after her escape from the asylum with a bit of help from Abyss but by the time they got to the sanctuary she was sound asleep. She hugged her pillow against her curled up body like she felt as safe as she could be sometimes letting out some sound of having a perfectly fun dream. "Fluffy." She softly muttered in her sleep and she hugged her pillow even tighter.

She slowy started waking up after a while. She realized she wasn't in the asylum anymore and that she was hugging a big soft pillow. It was so soft for her that she decided to stay and hug it some more until she woke up some more. Eventually she decided to get up but she didn't want to leave the pillow behind. She climbed out of the bed still holding the pillow against her with one hand and the other she used to rub the sleep out of her eyes. She walked to the door and opened it to see a hallway. She had no clue where she was but she looked around the hallway to see if there was anybody there.

A door opened further down the hallway, and Vibe stepped out, holding a mound of clothing in her arms nearly larger than her. She pulled the door shut, almost, with her foot, and began making her way toward the laundry room. Because the mound obscured her vision, she sent out numerous waves of supersonic calls, like a bat, so she wouldn't bump into anyone.

Her echoes bounced back the shape of someone standing in her way, and no one she knew.

"Clear the hall, newbie, or get run over."

She really didn't intend to come off threatening, but she didn't feel much like indulging in any social graces with a new resident at the moment. Besides, the other person was maybe an inch or two taller than she was. A collision might land both of them on their butts, which Vibe wasn't in the mood for.

As she drew closer, she made out the shape of a girl, holding a pillow. Must be a kid.

She rubbed some more sleep out of her eyes and then the whispers started speaking again. Feeding her all kinds of information about the residents of this building and what they where plotting or doing. Cailyn closed her eyes and her head trembled a bit as she pulled a painfull look on her face.

"Clear the hall, newbie, or get run over."

She heard something but it wasn't clear but then again she saw a large pile of laundrey approuching her. She looked at it and got scared of it trying to get away. She stumbled back with the pillow in her hand and fell down on the ground. This hurt but she wanted to get away from the laundrey monster. She hugged the pillow real hard now with just her eyes looking over the edge of the pillow looking at the laundrey monster with a look like she was scared and about to cry.

The girl tried to move out of the way, and ended up on the floor instead. Vibe rolled her eyes. She twisted the clothes out of the way, and looked down at the girl, hugging her pillow.

She couldn't understand the fear in the blond youth's blue eyes, and quirked an eyebrow at her.

"What's the matter, kid? Never seen someone lugging laundry around before?"

It was hard to see anything behind the pillow, but Vibe still gave her a skeptical, head-to-toe once over.

"New 'round here, aren't ya?"

She didn't look like an obvious mutant, but she had to be if she was here.

"What's the matter, kid? Never seen someone lugging laundry around before?"

The laundry monster spoke to her, but it seemed that it wasn't a laundry monster but a girl who carried laundrey. This didn't make the situation any better. She was in a unknown place with unknown people that could harm her if they wanted.

"New 'round here, aren't ya?"

She nodded a bit scared still holding her pillow. She seemed nice but a bit strange. The whispers told her, that the girls eyes where dead. This was a bit strange to her. How could she see her without eyes. "How do you see me?" She blurted out.

The girl nodded, and Vibe wondered passively who had brought her in. Physically she looked near the redhead's age, though sometimes it was hard to tell with petite people.

The pillow hugging certainly made her appear childlike.

"How do you see me?"

The long-haired sonic gave the girl a look.

"Uh, because I'm looking right at you." She didn't add, 'Duh', but that was the impression given. She shifted her weight to one foot. If she would have had a free hand, it would have been placed on her hip.

"If you're supposed to be an invisibility mutant, you need a bit more practice, kid."

She nodded her head once. "What's your name, half-pint?"

"Uh, because I'm looking right at you."

This was weird for Cailyn. Normally the whispers told her the right things and this time they where wrong. She looked at the girls eyes and there it was again. They looked but couldn't see. "You don't see, see." Cailyn said softly.

"What's your name, half-pint?"

Name name she needed her name once again. She pickered her thoughts again hoping the whispers would help her out.She put her hand on the side of hair head and wiggled it through her hair. She was supposed to know, she said it yesterday but probably forgot again. Then it hit her (again) and said: "Cailyn, They called me Cailyn."

"You don't see, see."

Vibe continued to stare at the girl. She blinked, then replied, "Sorry kid. Not sure what you consider 'seeing', but my eyes work just fine."

Maybe she meant something having to do with psychics, or some other mental mumbo-jumbo. Either way, she was doing a fantastic job of convincing the redhead that she was a nutcase.

When asked her name, she looked at a loss for a few moments. Finally she came up with, "Cailyn, They called me Cailyn."

"Hm. Not a bad name, actually. Well, I'd offer to shake your hand," she lied, "but mine are kinda full, obviously."

Vibe shifted her weight to her other foot. "What's with the pillow?"

"Hm. Not a bad name, actually. Well, I'd offer to shake your hand," she lied, "but mine are kinda full, obviously."

She smiled like a child on that remark and said: "thank you." in a high pitched voice.. Cailyn liked funny people because well, they are funny. She loosened her grip around the pillow because she was a bit more confertable around the laundry monster who appeared to be a girl.

"What's with the pillow?"

She looked down at the pillow to examine it. There was nothing wrong with the pillow so what was with it. She put it down on her lap and said: "it's mine."

The compliment on her name seemed to put Cailyn at ease, finally. Though Vibe winced slightly at the pitch of the girl's voice. It didn't hurt, per se. But the extra pressure in her ears definitely qualified as 'uncomfortable'.

Her reply about the pillow was short and sweet.

"it's mine."

Vibe stared at the blond.

And stared some more.

Finally, "How nice for you," came out, in the most bland voice her electronic choker could manage.

She shook her head, shifted her clothes back to the front, and continued toward the laundry room. In an offhand, and totally uncaring manner, she added over her shoulder,

"Don't forget to label it, so everyone knows."

"Don't forget to label it, so everyone knows."

Labeling a pillow seemed like a good idea to her. She started examining the pillow from top to bottom. She pondered where to label the pillow with her name till she found out that it actually wasn't her pillow. She realized she wasn't in a place she knew, she was lost. This made her a bit scared and she hugged the pillow again and asked to the girl before she was completly walked away: "Where am i."

"Where am i."

Vibe stopped and glanced back over her shoulder. Cailyn sounded almost panicked.

"The Sanctuary, duh." She stared at the girl incredulously. "Did you know that before coming here?"

The stack of clothes was beginning to get heavy. Finally she grumbled, "Look, kid, I don't have super strength. If you wanna keep talking, you'd better get those legs moving and keep up, 'cause I'm not stopping."

She continued to move down the hallway.

"Who brought you in, anyway?" she called back.

"The Sanctuary, duh." She stared at the girl incredulously. "Did you know that before coming here?"

She nodded her head saying no. She had no clue where she was her entire life to begin with and the outside world was scary but her curiosity still wanted to see more. Atleast there where more people to play with here then in the asylum

"Look, kid, I don't have super strength. If you wanna keep talking, you'd better get those legs moving and keep up, 'cause I'm not stopping."
"Who brought you in, anyway?" she called back.

Cailyn got on her feet still holding the pillow against her body. It was soft and she liked soft things, like sheep too. Sheep are her favorite animal. She followed the girl and she said excitingly: "This big red man with the tail and the big arms." She said that like any little girl would that would see a superhero for the first time.

Soft footsteps reached Vibe's ears, warning her that she now had a tag along. Served her right for encouraging the girl.

In response to her question, Cailyn replied, "This big red man with the tail and the big arms."

"That would be Abyss," Vibe clarified. "Or possibly one of his clones."

It took some maneuvering, hip-bumping, a broken nail and a muttered curse to get the laundry room door open.

"So what can you do to make you worth the Sanctuary's time?" she asked in boredom, while stuffing the washer with more clothes than it was designed to handle.

"Would a maid be too much to ask for?" she muttered under her breath, as she shoved her arms into the pile.

"That would be Abyss," Vibe clarified. "Or possibly one of his clones."

She remembered something about last night that just hit her. "1 out of 7." she softly said to herself. She didn't know how or why she said or knew that but she just did. She rubbed the front of her head a bit.

"So what can you do to make you worth the Sanctuary's time?"

The question confused Cailyn. She had no clue what she was talking about. She rubbed her head some more as she felt something coming. She closed her eyes in a painfull manner hoping this wasn't what she thought it was. The voices inside her where going beserk again feeding her all kinds of things. Her head shivered a bit as she no longer heard anything but the voices.She dropped her pillow and fell to her knees grabing the sides of her head as she tried to get over this. "Amplified , vibration." she said softly. This was something that most whispers where just screaming into her mind. She started breathing heavy as the whispered calmed down a bit and she regained some control again.
