"Anything for you, Shadow." Rouge's tone was flippant, but at the same time she gave Shadow's hand a light squeeze, a grounding reassurance that she meant it wholeheartedly. The shw closed her eyes against the disorienting light of Chaos Control. Once on the colony, she kept her eyes closed just a moment, wings stretching and fluttering. The air up here always felt strange, a far cry from then the most breezeless days planetside; not stale, never, but there was something off about it that always required a moment of adjustment. That done, she peered around at last, fist on cocked hip and ears twitching curiously. "All right. What've we got here?"

What they had was, floating in the air in the center of Shadow's livingroom, a white hybrid of what appeared to be a mixture of hedgehog and some sort of mustelid. His fluffy tail gave a twitch and he spun around to face Shadow and Rouge, thrusting both hands high into the air. "I didn't touch anything!"

The small black and red Chao lay on the sofa with a bag of popcorn resting beside her, crunching away as she watched the floating hybrid like a zoo exhibit, a mischievous grin spread across her face the whole time. At the sound of Rouge’s voice, Sombra flitted into the air and spun about towards the doorway. She let out a cheerful chirp as she rushed over and practically tackled the bat with an enthusiastic hug. Shadow however simply chuckled darkly to himself at Silver’s panicked reaction. “Not that you need your hands to touch anything. You’re fine, Silver. Get down.”

The bat's eyes widened just slightly at the sight of Silver - a tiny reaction only really noticeable to those who knew her well, before it was smoothed over with a languid, amused smile. "Hm. I've seen jumpy customers so far, but never so jumpy they just stay up there." She paused, tilting her head slightly. "...and jumped right out of your clothes too, I see. My my." That said, she turned her attention to Sombra, catching the Chao and lifting her up to rub their cheeks together. "Why hello, beautiful!"

Silver blinked at the comment, looking between Shadow and Rouge before glancing down at his bare hands. Realizing at that moment that he had never gotten around to putting on either his gloves or his boots, his cheeks burned a deep red and he darted through the air toward the door to his bedroom with a yelp.

Ruby eyes followed Silver’s mad dash out of the room with an expression of mild confusion plastered on Shadow’s face. He really didn’t see what the big deal was. “I did tell you he was psychic.” He commented, turning his attention back to Rouge. Sombra clung onto the batgirl tightly, nuzzling and making the Chao equivalent of a purring sound. The dark hedgehog reached over and scratched at the top of Sombra’s head as he walked past towards the large window, looking down at the earth again. “Do you need anything before I go?”

Rouge just chuckled as the hybrid fled, shaking her head slightly. "That you did," she murmured to Shadow, still cuddling the Chao. "I think we'll do just fine." The bat shrugged languidly. "He does look like he could be a handful, but...." If the psychic was that easy to throw off-balance... well, this would be interesting at the very least!

Shadow let out a dark chuckle as he pulled out his Chaos Emerald, gripping it tightly. “Don’t get into too much trouble.” With that he raised the gem above his head and vanished in a brilliant flash of light. Chirping happily, the Chao flitted up, hovering as she looked over Rouge’s shoulder after Silver. This was going to be entertaining no matter how it went. She flew off down the corridor, looking for the platinum hybrid, calling out as she went.

" I'm in here!" came a muffled response to the chao's calling from behind a closed door. A moment later and a door swung open. Silver stepped out, flexing his fingers as he adjusted the fit of his gloves. Striding past Sombra, Silver entered the living area and looked around. The white bat Shadow had brought with him was standing there, but... He looked around in confusion. "Uhh. Where'd Shadow go?"

"Wha-- me? Trouble?" Rouge asked, wide-eyed, one hand pressed daintily to her chest. She dropped the pose as Shadow vanished, watching Sombra wander off. By the time Silver returned she was standing with arms crossed, looking the hybrid over appraisingly. "Off on a mission. He didn't call the team together or say where, so either it's classified or he's just... well, being Shadow." She smiled, striding toward him. "So! Silver, huh? I'm Rouge." The bat held a hand out, wings flicking out a bit. "How'd you end up here?"

"Oh, uh.." Silver's brow knit together in confusion at the bat's gesture. He awkwardly placed an arm out parallel to hers. "Rouge, huh? Shadow.. mentioned you. Uh. How I wound up here. Uh," his tail flicked with uncertainty. "He, uh, found me. Offered to let me stay here. I think I kind of annoy him though." His tail flicked again.

The bat blinked, but took this in stride - grasping Silver's hand firmly in hers and giving it a light shake. "Aw, sweetie." Rouge released Silver's hand, chuckling. "If you annoyed him all that much, he'd make sure he made it clear. I would know." After all, she'd annoyed Shadow plenty in her own time. "I'll tell you a secret - Shadow is a much bigger softie than he'll ever let on. Trust me." She punctuated that with a wink as she stepped a little away from Silver, peering around. "So. How're you settling in?"

A much bigger softie than he lets on. Silver couldn't help but idly think about the threats he had received from Shadow the previous night... as well as the kick to the head he'd gotten. Allowing his eyes to follow after Rouge's, he shrugged and scratched at the back of his head. "Okay, I guess? I mean, everything in this era is so incredibly different from what I'm used to, so I'm just kind of... overwhelmed." Glancing over toward the room-length window, Silver's eyes fell upon the world below. "Is it true this place is able to destroy the planet? Shadow told me not to touch anything," he mouth screwed to one side. "He was just messing with me, wasn't he?"

That bat's ears flicked and she gave Silver a sharp look, head tilting. "This era?" She followed his gaze to the planet, stepping closer to the wide window. Hm. It'd really been awhile, hadn't it. Rouge was used to seeing the world from above, of course, winging her way over cityscape and countryside alike - but this was a whole different level, awe-inspiring no matter how much she thought she might be used to it. A perfect jewel suspended in inky velvet. "I'm afraid not," Rouge said at last. "This place is fully capable of wide-scale destruction. And it can be very difficult to stop once started." She glanced at the hybrid again. "So - listen to Shadow, hm?"

And with that simple statement, Silver felt his feet lifting off from the floor. Pulling his legs up, he sat cross-legged in the air. "Okay. Say I dooon't want to cause something like that. Say that's the exact, complete opposite of what I want. What exactly do I not touch? Because," he gestured his hands at the air. "Nothing here makes sense to me."

She had to chuckle, shaking her head slightly. "Okay, I admit it - 'don't touch anything' is a little bit of an exaggeration." Just a little, mind. "The floor is fine to touch. Hell, you can probably touch the ceiling too. Just keep your hands, feet, tail, whatever off any buttons or consoles, okay?" Now then. His other remark was not so easily forgotten, and Rouge was not so easily backing down from the subject. "What did you mean by 'this era', by the way?"

Silver raised his brow. Him and his big mouth. "Uhhh..." Pressing his index fingers together, the hybrid debated over how to answer that. Sonic had easily rolled with his story, but Shadow had been difficult to convince. There was no way of telling which side of the spectrum this person would land on and the idea of trying to convince someone else to believe him left him prematurely exhausted. He sighed heavily. "I.. might be a time traveler."

A time traveler. She considered that a moment, eyes hooded as she studied the hybrid. Time travel? Really? Then again: magic gems? Really? City-drowning water monsters? Really? Ultimate Life Forms on planet-shattering space stations? Planet-shattering ancient entities? Time travel, she decided, was not the weirdest thing she'd ever heard. Still, Silver's hesitant confession was... amusing, in its way. " Might?" she drawled out, one hand resting on cocked hip. "Oh honey. That seems like the kind of thing you ought to be sure about."

"I might be more sure depending on how much you believe me," Silver cleared his throat. "Shadow kicked me in the head over it once already. I'd kinda like to avoid others doing that too."

Rouge shrugged, spreading her hands as a slightly sarcastic smile flickered across her face. "Silver, sweetie - I've seen enough weirdness that time travel might as well be real too. Besides." She flicked her ears, one fang exposed as the smirk broadened. "If you're either convinced it's true or set on convincing me, well - a boot to the head probably wouldn't change that. Give someone enough boots to the head and nine times out of ten they'll just say what they think you want to hear. So how about I just hear what you want to say? As for Shadow..." The bat gave a wry chuckle, shaking her head. "He's prickly even as hedgehogs go, and he has his reasons for reacting badly if he thinks someone's trying to put one over. If he let you stay up here, though... he probably thinks you're all right whether he believes your timey-wimey talespinning or not."

The hybrid's brow furrowed at Rouge's mention of even as hedgehogs go, stealing a quick glance at his tail and giving it a small flick. He gave a half-hearted shrug. "It's a long story and.. I guess at this point it doesn't really matter that much. I knew Shadow and Sonic both in a timeline that doesn't exist anymore so, uh, neither of them remembers me now. And I come from a future that hopefully doesn't exist anymore so I couldn't go back to my old home even if I wanted to." Subconsciously, Silver scratched at his head in the spot where he had been kicked the night before. It had bruised up under his fur and stung. "I guess you can imagine how well Shadow took it when I tried to convince him that we knew each other." Silver shook his head, waving his hand at the air. "Anyway. How do you know Shadow?"

The small dark Chao had spent the past few minutes sat munching her popcorn on a cushion watching the two. Silver’s awkwardness was too delicious to ignore. At the hybrid’s last question, her usual broad toothy grin spread over her face as she cackled to herself. This should be good.

Rouge winced at Silver's statement, shaking her head. "Uh, yeah. I can think of a few very good reasons Shads would not be happy about you trying to convince him of something he couldn't remember. To be honest...." She folded her arms, wings flaring slightly as she fixed the hybrid with a steady gaze. "In your shoes, I'd consider myself lucky a kick in the head is all you got. It looks like manipulation, and to be honest? If I'd been there at the time, he might not have been the only one kicking." A slight exaggeration. Rouge wasn't really prone to straight out attacking from the word go, but... Shadow had had enough of this kind of thing, and she wasn't going to stand for it any more than he would. "But," she said after a moment, relaxing her stance, "if he's relaxed on it, I guess I can too. As for me...." She almost smiled, but her next statement was delivered in a perfectly even tone with a perfectly straight face. "I met him when I was assigned by the government to spy on him and neutralize if necessary. Plus he led me right to the Chaos Emeralds, so that's a plus."

Silver blinked, his brow migrating skyward in surprise as Rouge's change in demeanor caught him off guard. The idea that it looked like he was trying to manipulate anyone... he grimaced and glanced away. It had never even occurred to him. Her latter statement caught his attention though. "Sent to neutralize him?" he echoed. Shadow had called her a friend - and what's more, she seemed to care a lot about him. He tilted his head with curiosity. "Hm. Then you found out he was actually a good guy."

Rouge blinked... then she laughed, stance relaxing all together. "Haha...! A little more complicated than that, but sure - something along those lines." After a few rounds of lifesaving, fake flashbacks, real flashbacks, plummets through space... she shook her head, soft and sardonic at once. Funny how Shadow brought out that peculiar mixed mood even absent. "Anyway. That's not a story to be told without Shadow here to give his two bits. So - what else would you like to know, or are willing to tell?"

The giggly chao fluttered a few inches off the ground, grinning evilly at the time traveller. “<I have a question!>” She sputtered, barely containing her laughter. Finally having someone who understood her, and was naïve to boot, made this all too much fun. “<Ask her what her cup size is!>”

"Her what?" Silver asked, his head snapping toward the chao in confusion. He looked back at Rouge. "Uhh. Sombra's telling me to ask you what size your.. cup.. is??"

Rouge raised a brow, looking at Sombra and then slowly looking back at Silver. Talking to Chao, huh? Sure, why not. As for the question... well. She knew how to handle something like that. She flashed an equally toothy grin at Sombra - watch this - before leaning forward slightly, adjusting her top in a manner carefully calculated to look casual while still drawing attention to itself and dropping the timbre of her voice. "Why don't you take a guess?"

Rouge's expertly devised gestures had their intended effect - Silver's eyes trailed downward, a burst of color flaring across his face and a warmth prickling at the back of his neck. He gave a small shake of his head, bringing his gaze back up to her face and hastily putting his feet back on the floor. "... Uh, but you're... uh... not holding any cups."

That was it. Sombra burst into hysterics as she rolled about in mid air, clutching her tiny stomach with her blob-like hands. Eventually she dropped out of the air onto a pillow with a soft fwump, continuing to chuckle to herself.
