Benjamin felt the familiar jolt from unconsciousness as he woke in James's childhood kitchen, the few seconds of blackness between reality and the dreamscape forgotten. His brain felt slightly jumbled as he tried to work together the sequence of events that brought him there. When he realized he couldn't quite make sense of it, he knew he had entered someone else's subconscious. It was a different, strange world, and Ben felt both comforted and uneasy.

He glanced around the small kitchen, which had amenities straight out of the 90s. It was quaint and outdated, but nicely kept. Sun streamed in through the window over the sink. Everything was quiet.

Ben looked at James and couldn't help the dimpled grin that spread across his face. The sight of James in a shirt from his childhood brought some much needed humor to the rather serious mission at hand, and Ben found himself laughing, more than willing to set aside the gravity of the situation, if only for a few seconds.

"Don't worry," Ben said easily, "The more you practice, the easier it will be set aside memories and thoughts from the dreamscape. You'll be able to control that, more or less, in no time."

Ben drew a breath and stepped further into the house, his gaze wandering over the place that James had grown up in. It felt normal; like the trainee had simply invited his new team members over for dinner rather than into his subconscious. Ben knew it was anything but normal. Still, it was a good sign. James had been able to conjure up the place they had discussed with ease, and so far nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. It seemed, since they had met, that James continued to surprise Benjamin with his capabilities, and Ben had to remind himself to relax.

"It looks good," Ben decided to voice his opinion. He crossed over to a bookshelf, running his fingers along the spines of a few books. They felt real to the touch. Had Ben not known they were dreaming, he would have assumed it was reality. The reassurance continued to uplift Ben's mood, but in the back of his mind, he could feel his own thoughts and memories begin to bleed through, an unfortunate side effect of the dream world. Remembering his training, he managed to get himself under control long enough to look at Rosemary and see how she was doing.

"Why don't we try some experimenting?" Ben suggested, both to distract him from his own thoughts and to get back to the reason why they went under in the first place: the mission. "You've essentially got omnipotent power here, so let's see what you can do."
