Silver opened his mouth, prepared to ask what would likely have been another remarkably irritating question for Shadow, when he heard the feminine voice speak through the phone. He canted his head to one side. "Is that your girlfriend?"

The dark Chao had been pressing her small stubby hands over her mouth to stifle an ever growing fit of giggling ever since Shadow had asked how old Silver was but this was too much. Hands thrown aside as she erupted into hysterics, wavering in her hovering as she struggled to keep airborne. Head quickly snapping to the phone and back to the platinum hybrid, Shadow canted his head slightly, eyebrow raised in confusion. “What?” What was going on? What did Rouge’s question have to do with anything? Why ask if she…that word always felt so off, like it didn’t reach him. Shaking his head slightly, the black and red hedgehog elected to just not answer either of them. He had somewhere to be. “If he is five, I’m sure you can handle it. As to what else I know about him, he’s psychic. He can move things with his mind.” Shadow answered matter-of-factly. If he had to confront Silver’s powers so bluntly, so did she. Rouge was always good at rolling with the punches anyway.

Interesting. Rouge tapped her fingers lightly against the table, thinking this over. Truth be told, she had no intention of saying no to Shadow. One: she was bored. Two: this sounded like... well, it sounded like she wouldn't be bored at the very least. Three: much as she might joke and tease, Shadow really was the one person she couldn't refuse anything. Well, within reason. Babysitting a psychic of indeterminate age was within reason, right? "All right, Shadow - you know I can't say no to you." There was a warm undercurrent of sincerity under the joshing tone as she stood, finishing off the last of her drink. "Just let me know where you need me." A pause, and a note of laughter crept more fully into her voice. "I notice, though, that you didn't answer his question."

“Tch.” Shadow scoffed. What did it matter? He focused his attention on Silver, still holding the phone up so Rouge could hear clearly, “No, she’s not.” Maybe now they could actually get to the point. Turning back to look at the earth, he continued. “If you’re done playing around, I can bring you to the ARK or bring him to you. Just tell me where I need to warp to.”

Silver puffed up a bit. "I told you, I don't need a babysitter! Do I look like I need a babysitter?!"

"Aw, honey." Rouge chuckled, leaning her chin into her hand and gazing fondly at her phone as if Shadow could see the expression through the line. "I'm never through playing. But I'm ready to go when you are - I'll send my coordinates, and we can get moving on this. If this is a hush-hush thing the ARK might be our better option...."

Shadow gave a curt nod. “I’ll be there in a minute.” and pressed the button to hang up, without another word. Turning on his heels, he strolled past Silver towards the door. “Frankly, I don’t trust you aboard the ARK with all this sensitive equipment alone. That’s why I’ve asked Rouge to come.” He was done sugar coating things. He had to be somewhere and if Silver wanted to argue this point, he could take it up with Rouge when she got here.

Pausing for a moment to take in Shadow's statement, Silver frowned and followed after him. "If you don't trust me, why did you bring me here then?! I'd of been just fine finding somewhere to go myself!"

Marching up to his own bedroom, the dark hedgehog lingered in the doorway and glanced over his shoulder, shooting Silver a penetrating stare. “If you’d prefer to leave then go. I brought you here to offer a place to stay, that does not mean I trust you around a space colony capable of destroying the planet alone.” Vanishing inside, Shadow snatched the Chaos Emerald sitting on the small table beside his bed and returned to the hallway, playfully tossing the precious gemstone into the air and catching it before throwing it again. “Yet.”

All at once the color seemed to drain from the hybrid's face. "It.. does... what?" Silver snapped his head toward the window facing the planet below. " It does WHAT?!"

Despite his best efforts, a slight smirk crept onto the ultimate’s face. Perhaps that fear would impart onto Silver just how dangerous the ARK could be in the wrong hands and thus how careful he must be in who he trusted here. “Don’t touch anything.” The hybrid flashed an evil grin as he held up the emerald and erupted into a burst of energy, leaving only quiet, still vacant air where he once stood. The dark Chao fluttered over and plopped onto the time traveller’s head, nestling into his potleaf.

The bat was waiting, impatience and curiosity flitting across her features. Honestly! She was going to have to find a consistent way of getting up to the ARK... there were the base transports, of course, but she couldn't count on that all the time. And.... there he was. Rouge flittered her wings gently, giving the black hedgehog a broad grin as she turned to him. "Well well! My chariot arrives at last!" She stepped toward him, extending her hands as her voice dropped into a lower, more sincere tone. "It's good to see you, Shadow... and I'm glad you're making friends. So! Let's see him."

Appearing with a rush of expanding air, Shadow only took a cursory look about his surroundings. More than a couple of people were staring but that was normal for him. Ignoring the bystanders, the dark hedgehog focused on why he was here; the white bat before him. A small genuine smile on his lips. With how the past few days had gone, the build up to día de muertos and the time he spent lingering on painful memories he knew he shouldn’t…It was nice to see her again. No matter how miserable he got, Rouge had always knocked some sense into him and for that he was grateful. Reaching out, Shadow took a firm grip of the batgirl’s hand. “Thank you for doing this.” He said with a nod.
