"So, what do you think?" Elizabeth asked Jadin as she and John led the boy into the gate room the following morning.
"It's really big," he told her, looking around with wide eyes. After a moment, though, his face turned contemplative. "Where is my family? Are they here, too?"
Atlantis' leaders shared a look before John knelt in front of the child. "You were in an accident, which is why you can't remember anything. Your family…they're not here, and they're not coming back."
"Atlantis is your home, though," Elizabeth added. "And you're going to be safe here, and taken care of. I know it will take some getting used to, but things are going to be okay."
Jadin looked away, taking in the activity of the control room above them. A smile slowly crossed his face. "Yeah," he finally said. "Home."
Fin.
Feedback please? Pretty please? With a cherry?
