“I guess it's weird, but it feels good, doesn't it?” Alphy smiled back and picked up Anne's mask, examining it from a scientific perspective, “So how does this work, how do you do the teleporting thing? I assume you're more than just good at math, you ARE math.”
Her willingness to take the floor made Alphy suspect that she was trying to leave. Instead of letting her go he stood up and prevented her from standing, “No, no, no!” He then crossed his arms and frowned, “You're my guest and you will sleep in my bed for two simple reasons: one it's really comfortable and not hard like the floor and two if any of my family members walk in here and you are on the floor instead of the bed it will make it hard to convince them that you're my guest and that you aren't actually a prowler or stalker.”
He smirked and poked her forehead, “Pick your poison.”
"I guess so," She trailed off not sure yet how she felt. It went against a lot of instincts she had; and most everything that had been drilled into since she could use her powers. Anne watched him handle her mask, before grinning when he asked about her powers. "I'm not sure what you mean by me being math. I can see numbers and equations when I want to and I can solve them. When I teleport I'm solving a complex equation that is constantly changing. I'm taking into account everything, the rotation of the earth, our position in space, gravity. I know it all and can plug it in to the formula."
Anne sighed and stared at the wall. "That's just for figuring out where I'll end up. I'm not sure how I can pass though space. From people I've talked to, to rip though the fabric of reality it's really really hard. It requires a lot of energy. I'm not sure where it comes from, I only know that I can." The thief paused and blinked. "I'm rambling again aren't I?"
She frowned, a little at his insisting she take his bed. He did have a point about selling the story better, but it felt rude to take it. She made a face when he poked her before relenting. "Fine, you win. I'll sleep on your bed. Happy?"
"That's actually pretty cool Anne," He smiled and took his pillow from the bed, "I bet that energy comes from coffee, it's obvious isn't it? I like it when you ramble, I learn things by listening, not talking." It wasn't every day that you meet someone who can rip holes in space and time, though they had met before this was the first time he officially met both halves of Catastor... Annette. It was...amazing actually. Despite her ramblings he enjoyed learning about EVERYTHING. This was just another subject he needed to learn about. Suddenly he threw the pillow at her and stuck his tongue out playfully before continuing.
"Any other time a guy would think that a girl sleeping in their bed is a time to yell 'SCORE' at the top of their lungs," his smile widened to its fullest and he glowed(not literally) as he uttered, "I'm just happy you're in one piece, now you should get some sleep and elevate that foot."
"If you were one of those types I'd hit you right now," She took the pillow and pitched it at his face. "Coffee...I met a cape once that ran on coffee. Thanks for listening, it's nice to have someone to talk to about this stuff."
Anne mock saluted before finding something to set her foot on. She fell back on the bed, it was softer than she was used to, but it was a bed and was better than the floor. The small teen sat up again and looked at Alphy curiously. "Why would I freak out? I mean, if anyone has a right to it's you."
“You're welcome to talk to me about all of this at any time you know.” Alphy caught the pillow and in one smooth motion rolled to the floor, laying on his back examining the smooth surface of the ceiling. When Anne spoke again he leaned on his side so she could see his face directly, “Because you just got caught by your friend while trying to steal something from their house, hurt yourself, and now you're sleeping at that same friend who by every right should be extremely angry at you.”
Calmly he took his glasses off and set them above his pillow and waved at the lamp by the bed, “Turn it off when you're ready to sleep, I only have...about three hours to sleep.”
Anne nodded, mutely watching Alpy talk before he rolled over to go to sleep. The unexpected gust reached over and turned out the light, before laying back staring into the silent darkness. Despite not hearing, she still had the inner voice and right now it was mulling over everything that had happened. She still couldn't believe that she had been caught by a child's toy. Then she had been figured out and had spilled her soul to a friend she had met once.
She gave a point to Alphy, it did feel good to talk to someone about...well most everything. He didn't need to know that she was tied to a secret crime organization, with one of two people in the city that she was aware of that would have no problem...dealing with her. It was funny, now accurate his comment about her being one piece was, she had stolen from and tracked down super villains. Absently she wondered what he would think of that...
Cat paused, when had she ever cared about what other people thought of her or even really truly considered her own safety. By no means was she suicidal, living was nice, but she never really cared to much about what happened; she never really had anyone that would worry or miss her. Oh sure her parents might, but they didn't know about her activities if anything happened to her, she'd be reported as missing. They search for her for a bit then move on.
Staring out into the dark abyss that had filled the room, she reached out into it; trying to find the answer. Alphy had suddenly become some how important to her, not because he figured out her identity (well it was a small part). It was made all the more difficult, as Anne couldn't place a name to the feel or why he was important, aside from knowing who she was. It wasn't romantic, but it was something unfamiliar. A frown formed. She didn't like not know stuff.
Her face relaxed, she'd figure it out; she almost always did. Anne rolled one her side closing her eyes. "Good night Alphy." Absently she realized this would be a good time to leave, but didn't feel like it. It would be rude anyway.

The roleplay takes place after the series end of the original Teen Titans animated show, but does not include the movie Trouble in Tokyo. Since then Robin has been on something of a recruiting spree, and many new young heroes have found themselves a home in Jump City as well as Titan Tower.
