Cooling Off [Open] [R for profanity]
She's wandered through a few others' creations by now so at this point Rose is ready to try something of her own in the Sensoriums. She goes for the familiar, albeit with a few tweaks. She'd always thought the Titan's Tower would have been better without that pesky roof over the top-floor pool.
It's nighttime because that's what makes the most sense. The idea of her former teammates wandering the place as AI's is creepy, but the Tower dead-quiet in daytime is even creepier and makes her feel twice as alone.
There's a bottle of rum (take that Tim!) and her pack of cigs on the pool edge, the San Francisco skyline lit up across the bay, just enough breeze, and a clear dark sky with a smattering of stars that seem close enough to touch.
She's also naked, because what's a pool all to yourself if you have to be dressed?
Rose dives down and just lays still at the bottom for a few moments, looking up at the starry sky distorted through the water for as long as she can before she needs to surface for air. She's missed swimming more than she thought.

Peter hunches back over, his arms draped in his lap, fingers sifting through the water.
"Seems to think we're old buddies too. Not sure I believe that either."

Rose ducks under the water briefly then pops back up at the side of the pool, planting her hands on the ledge and hauling herself up out of the water with one smooth push. She strolls over to one of the deck chairs and picks up a towel robe, wrapping herself in it before coming back over to sit next to him and help herself to the fake oreos. They taste pretty real though, to her.
"I'm from the same reality as a bunch of the capes here but from much further ahead in time than most of them. Half of them don't remember me as being on their side if they know me at all."

And yes, he's careful not to look as she skips across the poolside.
"Oh yeah? It's starting to sound like if you come in costumed variety you're either from one reality or the other. You know this Superman guy?"

She munches an oreo.
"Nice dude from what I'm told. Not like Batman. Batman is kind of a dick."

He blows his knuckles casually. Yessir, he's one smooth operator.
