"Ah there is the Hero I know. Yes pictures would be lovely." Miyako laughed thinking about the look on her face. "I'm not worried about her killing anyone...It's more along the lines of her running. It wouldn't be hard with her power set." Her face dropped thinking about. Anne was possibly one of a few people in the world that stay hidden when she didn't want to be found. She didn't need a passport or money to travel. Of course she could find her, but it would take time and the long it took the less likely it would be she would find him.
"Yes mixed but volitional." ==================== Anne flinched when he touched her, even more so when she watched him talk. The lead ball in her stomach dropped. "I...I don't know." She could see the hurt he was feeling and it was all her fault. She kept hurting people. "I-I should go."
Not letting Alphy respond and for a rare moment both half of her mind worked together and she left the room. First she ended up in her apartment before finding herself on top of one sky scrapers. Absently sat down and started to rub her forehead wondering what was wrong with her. She could see the damage being be absorbed, the city looked like it was healing. Forgetting it seemed like. How could they forget, when all she could do was focus of her screw up? "WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!" At that point she screamed and broke crying.
“N-No, don't g-,” Alphy's eyes widened in the horrible realization that he quite possibly drover her away for good, and then she was gone. He panicked, screamed, "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.", and instantly ran down the hall, into his room and tossed on his costume. His mask was important, but he shoved it into his pocket and ran back towards the kitchen, “MOM, SHE TELEPORTED, I NEED TO GO FIND HER. I hurt her...I...”
He clipped his broach on his cape and ran back into the kitchen, turning all the food down to a minimum before opening the window...he looked over his shoulder and saw his mask laying on the floor and had to retrieve it.
~~~~~~~~~~
“...speak of the devil Miyako,” Frances held her hand to her temple and massaged the stress away as she spoke, “she just teleported and Alphy tossed on his costume. He has no idea how to find her. I need you, now.” There was a sense of urgency in her voice, partly due to her son (who's power would be useless) and partly due to her soon to be adopted daughter. Any second now, Miyako would show up...
Thirty seconds later Miyako appeared in kitchen. She turned and teleported the dressed up teenage back into the Kitchen before turning to her rival. "Hi Francis, the years have been good too you. I'm envious." She turned to Alpy and grinned. "You must be Alphy. Oh my I can see why Anne likes you. You're a real cutie." She reached over and pinched his cheek grinning. "Oh goodness I'm sorry, I should introduce myself. My name is Miyako, Anne's Aunt, and your mother's Schrodinger Cat."
Miyako smiled before turn and looking around before finding the hole. She sighed watching as she started to undo the knock that was her niece's work. Her niece was doing something interesting, her numbers were not how she would have done it, and it was taking a long time undo. "Ok I got this one. She looked over at Alphy. Inwardly she worried about him, but she stood strong. "I'm sorry I can't take you deary, this is a family matter. And you're not family." She looked over at her friend and winked. Yet. Miyako nodded to Francis and teleported away after her wayward niece. =============== About a half hour later she came back. Leaning heavily on her shoulder was said wayward niece. Anne was worse for wear, face was already turning several interesting colors. Blood was leaking a bit from her mouth and her foot didn't seem to be going quite the right direction. Anne had a look on her face that was contemplative.
Miyako sighed and helped her Niece hovel over to a chair before turning to address the two of them. "Alphy get some ice. I found her an alley by the docks, and she already looked like that. No she won't say what happened. I had to follow at least three different portals, nearly lost her when she stopped teleporting."
The older woman turned to Alphy with a pointed look. "What did you say to her to set her off and do something so stupid. I am not blaming you, much, but what did you say. This is very important."
Alphy could only stand there and stare at the injured Anne. He was still in his costume. For that half hour, he paced back and forth much to his mother's dismay. Frances reassured him, "It'll be alright. Miyako will bring her back and everything will be alright." She also told him, "You're going to put a hole in the floor. Your father didn't pace this much when YOU were born."
When Miyako reappeared with Anne, Alphy first glowed, then rushed forward to Anne's side when he saw what condition she was in. He screamed, "ANNE!" in horror. The thought was powerful enough to set off his broach, so everyone in the room heard it. Before standing up to get ice, he started crying and repeating over and over "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I'm so sorry." The ice pack in the freezer was seldom used, but it was there in case someone got hurt. Alphy retrieved it and instantly put it on her ankle.
Solemnly he looked up to Miyako and uttered, "I-I told her I wasn't sure if I were helping, I asked if I should leave, I told her that I didn't want to wear this stupid costume anymore, and I told her that I wanted to be there for her, always." Tears streamed down his face in a torrent. Looking down, he typed into his T-Comm to his mentor (Batgirl) and told her that he wouldn't be out tonight. Then, in rage, he tossed it across the room and curled up in a chair next to Anne.

Miyako sighed and sat down next to Alphy and smacked him before holding the poor boy he looked so torn up. "Get a hold of yourself or take the broach off. And I want to make something perfectly clear, you do not need to feel bad about this. I know you were trying to help, but Anne has always had a hard time truly accepting help from anyone. She had to want help herself and pushing makes it worse unless you can outright force her to take it. At the moment you can't. I'm not even sure I can or not. All we can is offer it and hope she'll take it."
The older woman explained Anne and catator relationship, while Anne sat their thinking. Her mind was a bit more settled after getting the tar beaten out of her. She still felt like hell, but some things seemed to be coming back together. She looked over at the communicator that Alphy had tossed and at him crying then over at the woman that had welcomed her into her home. Not wanting to go to the dark place again, she focused on the Comunicator. She started writing out the calculations with her finger before bring the device over.
"I told you, I don't want you to do that kind stuff for me..." Her voice was rough and low. "I know that if it weren't for me, you would want to be out there right now. I don't like people giving stuff to or up for me. I'm a thief...if I want something I take it. I not used to people giving me things, when I feel I don't deserve them...I know how you feel about me, nut I don't feel that way about myself right now. It wouldn't be good for me or for you."
Miyako smiled ruefully at her niece, it was a smart desiction, you couldn't love someone without loving yourself first and right now she needed to learn to do that again otherwise it drive her mad. Miyako hugged Alphy and wispered in his ear smiling, "I know you love her, but give her some space and help her love herself again. She'll come around. Promise."
The salt haired woman stood and smiled embracing her friend. "We need to talk more, I want to know how my dear niece is doing. I'll be back later. I have to make sure Papa didn't kill any of my fish."
“I-I just...I just want to help people...” With a long sigh, he wiped the tears off his face, “How can I confidently help people I don't know, if I can't help the person I care about the most?”
From the corner of the room, Frances was watching the ordeal. She stood silently until that moment and walked over. Suddenly, she picked Alphy up by his collar and pulled the broach off of him, “WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED being out there? You CAN'T save everyone. You know that, she knows that, and people die because of that. Alphy, you CAN'T be perfect.”
Alphy, close to being choked, replied as she set him back down, “Y-you always told me that no one can tell me what I can't do. So you know what, I CAN TRY to save them. I can TRY.” With that he snatched the broach back from his mother and turned to Anne. He took it from her and gently took her hands, then hugged her.
Then Miyako hugged him and all he could think was, Space...
And when Frances' turn came, she whispered in Miyako's ear, “I'm not deaf you know, so how is she going to get space if she lives here?”
"As long as no really tries and forces anything out of her that will be enough. She'll go and go and go till she just breaks down at that point just be there she'll ask for it. Right now just make sure doesn't do anything stupid and know she is loved. I don't think she'll anything too bad, right now she can't use her powers till she's healed." The smaller woman sighed, "I want to take her home with me, but being her will be better for her, she needs people that will let her know she is loved, not a distracted aunt and dying grandfather that has lost his mind. I still want you to take her."
Miyako sighed and looked over at her niece and her the boy that was so in love with her. It was sad and sweet. If only things hadn't happened in the order that they had, maybe this could have turned out better. But it was what it was and this was all she could do. "I do hope we meet again under better terms. I expect a letter over how she is doing." The red eyed woman paused before hugging her friend and pulling back bowing.
Anne turned and looked at Alphy, "You're going to drive yourself insane. Madder than me if do. You mean well, but every time you fail it's going to hurt like you would not believe...I think the only thing that is keeping me together, aside from the pain in my face, is the thought that there might not have been anything I could have done to save them, and I had done something good..." She shuttered to think what would have happened if she had made it and there had been nothing and she had to watch her parents die. "Sometimes, we just have to settle for what we did...not what we could have done, even if it hurts."
She yelped feeling Alphy touch a sore spot. "Easy, injured idiot here!" Anne turned and bowed her head to Francis and her Aunt. "I am sorry I ran off and caused you all to worry. It was stupid and reckless. I am sorry Ma'am you invited me into your home and I've been a dreadful guest, and Aunt I am sorry I made you come all the way here."
Frances nodded at Miyako and hugged her back. She returned the bow slowly, and at the end of it she let out a sigh, “I'll send you a letter, maybe an email, perhaps I'll just call you back over here and we can catch up over coffee every week. Speaking of which, Friday, right?”
Of course, she was referring to the adoption forms. There was a free room ready for her. All that needed done, were the adoption forms. Frances looked over at Alphy and Anne, and then back to Miyako. The look conveyed her concern.
“T-thank you Anne.” Looking down, he pulled away at her yelp, “Sorry!!! Are you okay?!” Alphy gently put his hand back on the ice pack and nodded at her, “It's okay Anne, I mean, it's my fault. Also, I'm pretty sure that my mother made your aunt come here... she's scary....”
Smiling, he walked over to the counter and retrieved some food, then set it on the table next to Anne, “Bon appetite?” Then he went back for more, put two more plates on the table, and then sat down to eat, "If you need to stay here tonight because you're hurt, I'm sure Mom will let you."

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.
