Helium - A Dreamnotfound Fanfic

Subject Log #11: Great, What Now?

Dream shut the door behind him and exhaled. He stared cautiously at the two boys who sat on his bed. 

You two can stay here for now, but don't you DARE go anywhere or touch anything. 

Tommy sprawled out onto the bed. Can't promise anything.

Dream rolled his eyes as he set up the pull-out couch. He turned his head to look at Tubbo, who was walking around the dorm and looking at everything. 

Can he speak? Dream asked Tommy in his head.

Verbally? No. But through telepathy, yeah, Tommy answered.

Dream looked down at his hands shaking as he put the sheets on the couch. Promise me you really won't cause any trouble. I could get fired for doing this.

Yes, promise. Why do you care about us anyway? Isn't everyone in this place a maniac? 

Dream felt his arm get a shiver. Um, no. I'm not. I care about people.

And you won't hurt Tubbo?

Why would I hurt him? He's a child, that's wrong.

He's my best friend. I don't want him hurt.

You are both safe with me, I promise.

Dream finished the bed. He turned around and saw only Tommy. 

WHERE'S TUBBO.

Tommy looked around and panicked. 

I DON'T KNOW WHERE IS HE?!

Dream looked at the corner of the room, where Tubbo was playing with a Newton's Cradle. 

"Oh, Tubbo." Dream turned around and saw George sitting on the couch bed. 

"What the hell." Dream sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I can't hide literally 3 Altres in my own dorm room! What are you doing here George?!"

George confusedly looked up at Dream. "Protection," he said.

Dream realized what George was saying. "You can make all three of us invisible?" Dream asked.

George nodded. 

Dream nodded. "Okay, we have a safety plan."

"It's a shitty safety plan."

Dream turned to Tommy. "You can speak?!"

Tommy laughed. "I could always speak, dumbass. Did you really think that I would give the people who captured me that advantage? I only speak when I trust someone enough. And unfortunately, I trust you."

Dream scoffed. "Um- oh. So, you were lying the whole time?"

"We were both lying." Tubbo smiled as he sat next to Tommy.

Dream dropped his jaw. "You both could speak?"

Tommy smiled and looked at Tubbo. "Good plan, Tubso."

Tubbo smiled. "Great execution, Tommy."

"Hey Techno!" Wilbur whistled as he walked up to the subject's cell.

"Why is his name Techno?" Niki asked quietly.

"I don't know. I think it's cool music, and he has a blade. So, Technoblade. Cool, right?"

Niki nodded slowly. "Sure."

Techno frowned and turned away. 

Wilbur sighed. "I wish he could talk."

Niki shrugged. "None of the Altres can talk yet."

"Right. Well, he looks like he's doing fine. So I should get back to my lab." Wilbur turned and headed towards the decontamination unit.

Niki followed and waited for the doors to open. The two walked down the hallway and into the second-floor lab. 

Wilbur sat down and started up his monitor while Niki stood awkwardly at the doorway. 

"Hey um, Wilbur?"

"Hm?" Wilbur said, keeping his eyes on his screen.

"Have you met Dream?" Niki asked.

Wilbur nodded. "Yeah, he's a nice fellow."

"Well, do you think-"

"Wilbur! Have you seen Dream anywhere?"

Wilbur spun around in his chair to see Eret. He smiled. "No, but I'm sure he's in his dorm or Lab 505."

Eret nodded. "Thanks mate. See you!"

Wilbur chuckled and watched Eret walk back into the shadows. Niki shivered. "Can we get 1,000 lights so that ghost doesn't jump scare anyone?!"

Wilbur sighed. "Not a ghost, Niki. Just Eret. You can trust him."

"Well I don't," Niki replied.

"Dream!"

Dream panicked as he heard a voice. He turned to George. "George can you do the thing now?!"

George nodded and quickly stood up and hugged both Tommy and Tubbo. Dream spun around to his dresser shadow and prepared himself. Eret emerged from the shadow and smiled as he walked around. 

"Good to see you again, Dream."

Dream nodded. "Thanks for trespassing again, Eret."

Eret chuckled. "Good joke. So, what are you up to?" Eret eyed the couch bed. 

Dream laughed nervously. "No good."

Eret paused and laughed. "Another joke! Wow, you sure are the comedian, Dream." Eret sat down on the bed. Dream held his breath, hoping Eret didn't lean backward.

"Why have you got out the second bed?" Eret asked.

"Oh, just needed uh...more space for my clothes," Dream lied.

Eret nodded. "I see. Well, I should get going, then." Eret got up and headed towards the door. 

"Um, can I ask one question, though?" Dream asked.

Eret turned around. "Have at it."

"Who do you work for?" Dream asked.

Eret frowned. "None of your business, that's who." Eret left the dorm.

Dream turned to the pull-out bed and watched George, Tommy, and Tubbo reappear. Tommy gasped for air. 

"That was the most cringiest interaction I've ever seen."

Tubbo sighed. "Props to George for hiding us."

George tiredly laid down and rest his eyes. 

Dream noticed and sighed. "Let's all get some rest."
