"Yeah, my time period was.. really bad," Silver said, finally tearing his eyes away from the screen to look at Sombra. He looked at the remote thoughtfully. "That's.. a lot of buttons. Which ones would I press??"

The Chao shrugged as she flew over, holding out the remote to him. “<Depends what you wanna watch.>” Peering over it, she prodded a button with her stubby “hand,” causing the screen to flicker to a scrolling menu of various show titles. “<Here’s what’s on right now.>”

Silver stared at the menu, looking over the selection of shows available. Chao in Space, Night of the Werehog, Next Show, among many others. Silver blinked at all the strange titles, his eyes practically going cross. "I... have no clue what any of this is."

The tiny creature rolled her eyes and plopped back down onto the sofa beside her drink. “<Well what would you want to watch? Something funny, something sad, something exciting, something droning on and on about whatever’s happening down on earth?>”

"I don't know?" Silver scratched the back of his head. "Can you get information from it? I need to learn whatever I can about this time period."

“<There’s history documentaries, or the news for more current stuff.>” Sombra huffed with all the enthusiasm of someone about to be taken to the dentist.

"I guess the news then," Silver said, joining Sombra on the couch. It was at that moment he remembered the pizza and cup of coffee Shadow had made him earlier. Straightening up a bit, he looked toward the kitchen, the plate and cup both lifting from the counter and lazily floating toward him.

With another roll of her eyes the Chao poked another button on the remote and the screen flickered, the menu disappearing. “<Fine. Be boring.>” An image appeared of a woman with auburn hair and a bright orange suit standing in a very familiar looking street in Exiko. “This is Scarlet Garcia reporting live from Exiko city where reports claim was the site of an odd confrontation just last night. Eye witnesses claim world renowned heroes Sonic and Shadow the Hedgehog were attacked by an as yet unidentified assailant.” An image appeared beside the woman of a very crude drawing of a thropic hedgehog with an exaggerated pot leaf on its head. “Supposedly this newcomer appeared in a brilliant flash of light and departed in a similar manner. No leads yet as to who they are or why they confronted two of the worlds best known heroes.”

Silver stared. Subconsciously he reached a hand up and felt at one of the huge cockatiel-like locks of fur on his head. "Is that supposed to be--is she talking about me??"

As the news report rolled on Sombra slowly turned to stare up at the minkhog by her side. Her eyes narrowed into a judgmental glare. “<You attacked Shadow?>”

"What?? No! That lady's got it all wrong!" Silver put his hands up defensively. "We mostly just talked! If anyone attacked anyone it was Shadow kicking me in the head again!"

The door to the living area slid open as Shadow stepped inside. His fur was still damp, quills hanging down and a white towel wrapped about his midsection. Seeing the ebony hedgehog enter the room, the Chao leapt up and flew over to him. “<I know you can’t understand me but you gotta tell me what happened! Did Silver attack you?!>” “What is it? What do you want?” Shadow glanced over to the TV screen. “So that’s it?”

"I didn't attack him!" Silver sputtered. He thrusted a finger toward the television. "Shadow there's a lady on your talking picture thing saying I attacked you and Sonic last night!"

The black hybrid’s gaze moved between his pet, Silver and the screen before replying in a dry tone, “And this bothers you?” He looked back to the Chao hovering beside him. “Sombra, Silver didn’t attack me. Calm down.”

"Well.. yeah!" Silver gave the other hybrid a sideways look. "It's not true! Of course it bothers me!"

“If you know it’s not true then why care?” Shadow met Silver’s look with his own. The Chao gave a shrug and flew back to drop unceremoniously onto the couch again.

Silver only became more flustered at that question. "Because she's lying!" he said, flapping his hands in a helpless manner. "Why wouldn't I care about that?!"

The ebony chimera just shrugged. “Because you know and I know she’s lying. Whatever anyone else thinks shouldn’t be important. Humans love gossip.” “<It’s true!>” Sombra nodded, still staring at the screen.

Silver opened his mouth looking like he wanted to continue arguing but paused. He frowned and scrunched his mouth to one side of his face, then folded his arms and slouched into the sofa with a fwump. "I still don't like it."

Shadow turned to exit the living area with one last nugget of wisdom for the grey time traveller, “You won’t like many things but you still have to accept they exist.” Beside Silver the dark Chao grinned, stifling a giggle. “<You’re getting broody just like him.>”

"I am not!" Silver huffed, slouching even further into the couch.

“<You suuure?>” She snickered. “<You’re pouty, irritable…You need some cake! And by that I mean I need some cake and you can have some, if you get it.>”

"I.. don't even know what that is. I mean I've heard of it but I don't know what it is?" he said with a confused look to the chao. He turned toward Shadow. "Hey Shadow, what's a cake? Sombra's saying she needs some."

Silver’s voice carried down the metallic hall into Shadow’s room as he slid on his gloves and shoes. It required he remove his inhibitor rings but…only for a moment. At the question the black chimera froze. Sombra wanted…What? He adjusted his gloves and turned to stride back through to the living area, the doors sliding open with the press of a button. “Sombra...talked to you?” He asked pointedly with a distinct air of disbelief about him. The Chao’s evil sharp grin returned as she clambered up the back of the sofa to see Shadow’s face. Snickering, she looked to Silver. “<Have fun explaining this one.>”

The platinum hybrid looked back and forth between the two very different expressions he was receiving a few times. "Sombra acted shocked about that too last night. That's not really that weird is it? I mean everything is weird to me I don't real ly have a good benchmark for what's normal here..." As he delved into a ramble, the fur on the back of his neck prickled up.

Sombra fell back onto the sofa giggling to herself as Shadow stared with a raised eyebrow and not much else showing emotion as Silver rambled. “I wouldn’t say weird but…unique. As far as I know, noone else on earth can communicate to Chao other than their own kind.” His ruby eyes trail to the spot on the sofa Sombra had clung to. “What else does she say?”

"Right now she's laughing at me for trying to explain this," Silver groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose.

“That much I can tell on my own.” He said, walking over to the far side of the sofa so Sombra was sat between the two. He eyed Silver curiously. “You don’t make sense at all.” “<Pfft Like he’s one to talk. Ask him to tell you about his “brother” and see how he reacts. I dare ya.>” The Chao maintained her devilish grin.

Silver glanced at Sombra before giving a perplexed look at Shadow. "What.. about me doesn't make sense?" he knit his brow together. "Also Sombra is daring me to ask you about your brother??"

As soon as the word “brother” left Silver’s mouth it was like the atmosphere changed. Sombra froze, a grin of anticipation plastered on her face as she stared up at Shadow who narrowed his eyes at her. His hand balled into a fist as he took in a breath. “I wasn’t aware you had such a spiteful sense of humor.” Honestly he’d known Sombra always had an attitude but hearing her talk, even vicariously through Silver, gave him a newfound sense of unease around the small creature. How did she truly feel about him? About being here? Suddenly she wasn’t just a pet anymore. He glanced up to Silver, knowing the conversation that was about to happen, not that he was ashamed of his origin but…this specific part wasn’t something he revelled in remembering. Not to mention it was skirting dangerously close to the events of Dr Eggman bringing the seven Chaos Emeralds to the ARK. The battle of Sonic and himself fighting to save the world…something that only happened because of his own actions. “She’s referring to my prototype.” “<Awww nuts. I was hoping for a bigger reaction.>” Sombra folded her arms in a huff.
