The knife's holster poked into Ryan's hip as he stood like this. Despite the momentary distraction, he still heard her say it. "I won't use my power." He didn't make a very noticeable reaction, but with her having the eyesight she did she might notice his eye twitch when she said that. The rest of the words weren't processed. She had powers therefore he should kill her. The cat made him pause, and retrace his mental steps through the conversation. A sigh caught in his throat, before he could display the reaction he paused. He was happy though. . . He could tell she wasn't lying. She was homeless, harmless, and cold. He started to examine her, though it was hard to see her very well as he was covering her in a shadow. He was also probably a bit hard to see, but unknown to him, her night vision let her see him perfectly.

He took a step back, and mimed a relieved expression. "God you scared me. I'm sorry for the less then warm greeting, but you have to understand. . ." He realized he didn't know if she would understand, "Or I hope you can. . . Not trusting people. I have a good thing going on here, and I don't. . ." He sighed again, realizing he was rambling. "Listen. Come in, get warm, and as long as we're not attacking each other we'll be fine. I will even get rid of my weapon. It's more a symbol of goodwill then anything else, cause I won't let you search me." He smiled for the first time since he had seen her, "Sorry to disappoint," A sound resembling a laugh came out, before it was cut short by him coughing loudly.

Ryan turned around, and walked farther into his base. He unclipped his now visible holster and tossed it to the side, with the knife inside of it. His clothes were tight enough that it was obvious he didn't have another weapon on him. He didn't reactivate his power. Ryan was cautious but he also didn't like murdering, even if they were homeless girls no one gave a rats ass about.

A rapid burst of three beeps, along with all three red light in the corners of the room flashing alerted Ryan to a trespasser. He froze and turned to the trapdoor while he pulsed his power twice. The pulse would disable any powers that required concentration, and would give him a bit of an advantage if it was a parahuman in the building.There was no padlock on the trapdoor. . . "Shit," He mumbled, confident he wouldn't be heard. The door was sound proof after all, and even insulated. Ryan pulled the knife out of the dummy, as he walked, slipping it into the holster on his left hip and covering it with his shirt as he moved towards the door. He knew right as he reached he door, he had to do it. His power swelled within him and he activated it as he opened the door.

To the mysterious girl he met the eyes of his presence would be known before he even opened the door. His form would be glowing through the door, his body visible and demanding recognition. The door then opened and he stood in front of her, seeming normal, no longer glowing now that she had direct eyesight. If she tried to activate her powers now, it would be useless. It'd be the equivalent of trying to reach through a brick wall. The same would happen with words; All forms of communication would escape her completely.

Ryan eyed her, and deactivated his power quickly to speak. "No funny business. Tell me why you're here. Don't use your power, if you have one, or I will disable it and kill you." He waited for her response in a non threatening stance, the knife hidden by his stance. Warm air rushed out from behind him, and with it the scent of pizza and coffee. The girl's angle would allow her to see a training dummy and a bed behind him, if she took her eyes off him.
