[Guess who's just noticed the little kung fu master? This old man right here.
He approaches with carefree strides, intent on greeting her and explaining the situation to the best of his bumbling ability, when he notices her next power activated in full force. The air sizzles and sparks around her, and he can't help but remember the last time he actually did see her, when those sparks were aimed at him.]
Dragon Kid...? [He holds his hands up, grin uneasy.] I-its just me! You remember me, right?
[Now that is certainly a welcome sight. She nearly grins at the sight of the older hero, but stops short at the words coming from his mouth.
After a moment's pause, she comes to the conclusion that it was meant as a joke -- albeit not a very funny one considering the past. She stomps one foot in a childish manner and pouts before crossing her arms over her chest.]
[He breathes a sigh of relief at her mention of his name, but that quickly changes into a confused and defensive look. He leans down, pouts and crosses his own arms.]
But I'm not joking! [A pause, his put deepening.] And I'm not trying to be funny!
[Now would probably be a good time to explain their situation, but instead he just backs off a little, a hand going to his chin to rub at his beard in thought.]
So you're from the future too, then... [Helpful, isn't he?]
[She's a bit hesitant at first, considering the source is Kotetsu -- who's known for his joking -- but starts to reconsider until he opens his mouth a second time.
At that point she's not sure if she should be in awe at his claim... or if she should just consider it to be another of his jokes.
The pout doesn't fade from her face and there's a distinct whine to her voice, but there's no anger behind her words.]
Well if you're not joking, then what do you mean 'I'm from the future too?' You're really strange sometimes, Mr. Tiger!
[Maybe he's going senile in his old age or something...]
[It takes her a minute to process this new information, and when it all sinks in, she simultaneously becomes even more confused in regards to the situation (if it was even possible at this point) while also worrying about the mental state of the older hero.
She quirks one brow in disbelief before releasing a breath.]
... Did you hit your head, Mr. Tiger? That stuff happened a long time ago! Besides, time travel isn't real!
[Considering the ordeal involving Jake Martinez ended nearly two years ago now, she officially decided that it was either that or he truly was going senile.]
I know it did, Dragon Kid! [Pout, pout, whine, whine.] ... And it might be?
[Maybe they're all here because of some kind of NEXT power. He never really entertained that idea, but he will be doing so from now on.
He's half tempted to say something along the lines of "tell that to Bunny," but this is already oh so confusing and so instead he sighs, gruffly, his shoulders sinking in defeat.]
This is Somarium. This place kinda messes with your head a little. [He places a hand on his hip, the other resting under his chin.] Shows people your dreams, too.

He holds his hand out in front of her, three fingers held up. He starts counting,]
Blue Rose told me I was dead... [He lowers a finger.] Sky High told me that I saved the day! [Another finger...] And Bunny never fought Jake.
[Vague, right? He places his hand on her head, affectionately ruffling her hair. He grins.]
But you remember me, so you're from the future.
[Makes so much sense to him. He thinks he's a genius.]
