"Is Tech still doing that meditating thing you taught him to do?"
"Yeah. I figured that Tech usually leads a stressful life. Making inventions and saving the world and all. So by clearing his mind, he won't be as stressed out as he usually is."
I am settling into my place now. My world. Berlin. It's not the place you know.
Located in Germany?
No. My Berlin is different. It's more calmer. Almost like... floating in water, with nothing around you but more water. Crystal blue water, with only a ray of light shining through it's depths. I can still breathe. It is my world after all. In my world, I am able to sleep without holding my lungs for breath. Now I suppose you're thinking why I named my calm place Berlin. Why name it where somewhere else has that name?
It just came to me after listening to a famous 1970's song. It was called "Drowning in Berlin" by the Mobiles. The sounds that attracted me felt strange, yet calming. I managed to relate to the words they sang. I liked them. And when I began meditating, the song somehow floated into my head. And that was when I discovered my watery Utopia. The place and sounds combined made me feel calm. No villains. No disasters. No concerns. So I decided to visit there more. Entering my polluted mind and cleaning it up until I am only left, floating in the calm waters that are surrounding me now.
"Awake. A dream. Taking over. A scream."
"Advanced. Entranced. Making only. A chance..."
RING RING!
I'm drowning! I can't breathe! Struggling to get to my Berlin! I must leave! I must wake up! I must rise to the surface! I'm blacking out! I'm blacking out...
Tech gasped for air as though he had held his breath underwater for hours. He heard the annoying sound of a cell phone lying on the table. Then a hiss from the doors opening revealed the others coming in.
"That's where it went!" Duck sighed of relief as he turned his mobile off.
"Did we disturb ya Tech?" Ace said in a concerned tone.
Tech zoned out in hesitation until he looked up to the leader.
"No. Besides, it was about time I came up to the surface to get some air." he finally smiled.
"Yeah. Besides-Zadavia-needs-all-of-us-to-go-on-a-mission! We-better-hurry!" Rev exclaimed in excitement.
As the rest of the Loonatics left the room Tech looked outside of the window to see the orange blazing sun floating in the sky.
"I will go back to Berlin. As soon as I finished this mission." he murmured as he walked through the doors to await his instructions.
