The last time she'd felt truly safe and relaxed while sleeping had been in that very bed. All the years that had been had been full of incredibly difficult, trying, and horrifying situations, and when she'd thought back to the place where she most felt at home, it had been in that 'dream world' of his, in his chambers specifically. They were her haven from the world that had turned against her, and to be back there now, with him beside her... it was unbelievable.

But it was real, and he was promising not to leave her, and so she did as he instructed, laying her head down and closing her eyes, staying as close to him as she could get. She was so exhausted that not even two minutes passed before she was deeply asleep.

She wouldn't sleep for long, a few hours at best. The scientists had been on constant rotation and so she had never been allowed a full night's rest. But when she did wake, it would be sudden but not violently, with disorientation but not fear. Her powers would stay safely off because in all those years of torture, never had she had someone touch her in such a kind, even loving way. That sort of touch meant safety now, for her and for him.
