I know you have a life here. A family. But the people who are like us? The ones we found? The ones we will find? They are my family. I'm not gonna let anything happen to them. And I won't let anything happen to you. Now, please, Stephen. Just come with me.

You know, when you first started talking to me the mysterious voice in my head. Even when I thought I was crazy I trusted you. I have to find out what happened to my dad, okay? Whether or not he's a hero, if he's alive, I have to know. But there's only one way I can find him without losing everyone else. Now, I know you're gonna think I'm crazy for doing this--
Stephen, you have no idea what you're getting yourself into.
Cara. It's your turn to trust me.
AFAstrid Finch
I didn't say that.
No, no. I'm telling you, there's a reason for everything that I've been through, okay? Every unexplained symptom, every misdiagnosis, and you're taking their side?
You want me to be crazy, is that it?
Listen, I stuck by you, and your whole year of crazy, because I care about you. And just so you know, everybody didn't leave. You pushed them away. Which is exactly what you're doing to me.
Well, are you taking your meds?
Yes! Astrid, I'm taking my meds, but maybe I need something a little stronger like an ice pick lobotomy, or maybe I should just save everyone the trouble and check myself into the loony bin.
Okay. Let me see your pills.
I just want to check to see if being a raging dick is a side effect?
Okay, okay, wait wait wait, wait. Where are we? How-... Who are you?
You're in an abandoned subway station 100 feet below the streets of Manhattan. You teleported here. Actually... I teleported you.
We're called Tomorrow People. And we didn't choose the name, I swear.
[laughing, seeing the others] This isn't happening. It's just another one of my crazy dreams.
[telepathically] It's not a dream, Stephen.
You've heard of telepathy? It's another one of our powers.
The three Ts, the third being telekinesis.
[Stephen nods humorfully]
[to John] He doesn't believe us.
It's funny, the teleporting usually sells it.
No offense, but any second I'm gonna wake up someplace awful. Maybe another three-way at the neighbors' place.
[John smiles at the thought]
You don't understand, Stephen. You're one of us. You're breaking out.
You're waking up in weird places, Stephen? You're not sleepwalking. You're teleporting. You hear Cara's voice in your head, that's telepathy. Your latent powers are starting to appear. Soon, you'll be able to do this.
[Stephen begins levitating off the floor with no effort whatsoever evident on John's face]
Okay, oka- okay! Okay! Put me down! Put me down!
[Stephen falls into a crouching position. One of the others laughs]
No, no, I'm having a psychotic break. My meds are off or something.
No, no, no more pills. They're obviously addling your brain.
What he means... is the drugs are just going to get in your way.
Get in my way? You have no idea what my year has been like.
[with a hurt expression] Stephen, I know exactly what it's been like. I know how alone you've felt, how scared. You feel like you're turning into a different person, like your mind isn't your own. All those hours on your therapist's couch? I was there with you, Stephen. When we're connected, I feel what it's like to be you.
