It was hard for Victor to get to sleep. He was used to having Lupin in his head and the odd feeling of comfort the mental wolf brought. And he was now gone as far as Victor could tell. Ever since his run in with the Scarecrow. He tossed and turned the entire night and once he fell asleep he kept dreaming of his encounter. And when he wasn't dreaming of his encounter he felt that something was missing. He just couldn't find a good way to fall into a restful sleep.
It was now morning and Victor was curled into a ball, much like a dog. Yet another side effect from his meeting Lupin. He had finally fallen asleep an hour ago and woke again without the amount of sleep he had wanted. He hadn't quite opened his eyes yet but he felt that something was wrong.... He had the strange feeling that someone else was in the room with him. Someone who wasn't supposed to be there. "Force?" He mumbled.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw someone... Someone he had never seen before. This someone was a woman... She had dark black hair, piercing blue eyes, and a very attractive air about her. Yet at the same time there seemed to be something unnatural about her.
Victor dove out of his bed with a yelp taking the covers with him. "Who the hell are you?" He asked loudly. Once he had made sure the bed was between him and the mystery woman.
The women flashed a smile.... A smile that had fangs. "Is that really a nice way to make a first impression Vic?" The woman asked.
Victor stared at her with a look of confusion. "How do you know my- He began to ask before the woman cut him off.
"Call me Cana. You know my father." The woman said. "Or rather you knew my father."
Victor shook his head. No she couldn't be..... He was seeing things she wasn't really here. Lupin's daughter wasn't going to choose him as a host. He stood up and pointed at her holding his covers like a net ready to throw them at her if need be. "You're not real. And I know how to find out." He said slowly moving to the door. The woman didn't make any moves. She simply watched Victor move. When he made it to the door he quickly opened it and stepped out closing it quickly behind him. Trapping the woman inside.
"Force, I need some help here." He called out with a slightly concerned voice as he was holding the door closed trying to keep the strange woman trapped inside. There was no way he was going to let a woman who had somehow gotten into his bedroom without any signs of breaking in. And now that he thought about it there were no signs of breaking and entering anywhere in the apartment.

Hearing Victor's tone, Phoebe comes to quickly to join him in the hallway. But even more quickly she finds his mind - one advantage of her ability to read minds is that it makes difficult-to-explain situations sometimes even fully unnecessary to explain. In this case, much of what just happened is swimming around in Victor's mind so she very quickly knows the most important points even without being told.
"What should I do? If she's a normal person, that's easy, but if she's like Lupin..." she comments with a frown. It can be said that Phoebe doesn't like the paranormal very much. Mostly because anything normal, with the exception of light and a few odd superhuman abilities, can be stopped by her powers. And she likes things that can be stopped by her powers - they feel a lot safer to her. But even so, she has a quite bold personality in the face of any danger - mostly because things that are actually dangerous to her are an exception to the rule.

Victor kept his back against the door as he looked at Force. Normally he would have been concerned if he had woken her. But at this point he was preoccupied. "I don't know. She just appeared in my room and-" he started to say but was cut short when he saw the woman standing behind Force. He quickly opened the door to his room and looked in the room. He turned back around and saw the woman again. "She's behind you now." He said plainly. He was more confused now then anything else.
"I'm like Lupin." She said. "Lupin was my father."
Victor looked at her for a few seconds then looked at Force. He knelt down and looked Force in the eyes. "Force. I can take it....... Have I gone crazy?" He asked. It wasn't the first time that he had thought that. He was afraid that him loosing Lupin had effected his mind somehow.
"You're not crazy." The woman said. "And I can tell it didn't sink in for you. I have a name Cana." She said.
As she said that Victor realized that he hadn't remembered her name. And she was clearly able to read his mind seeing as she knew he had forgotten. He looked at Cana for a few more seconds then back at Force. "If I'm not crazy then she's standing right behind you." He said. With concern still in his voice. But now mixed with confusion.

When Victor sees the woman behind her, Phoebe's response is a very well-trained reflex: she throws a protective mental shield around herself and quickly whips around to look. And she sees... nothing. Frowning to herself, she looks back over at Victor and says, "Well, I know for sure that you see her, but I don't." Which doesn't exactly mean that Victor isn't crazy since crazy people really do see whatever it is that they're hallucinating.
Then again, she's more inclined to think that it's the truth. After all, she couldn't see Lupin and knew for sure that he was real. She'd be more quick to guess that Victor's seeing another of Lupin's species than question his mental health.
Nevertheless, Phoebe shifts away a little, using what she can sense of what Victor's seeing to make it so that she's further away from Cana and not in between the two of them. She is definitely not a fan of the paranormal. Normal things, with the exception of light and some types of metahuman abilities, are stopped by her mental shields. With paranormal things that can only be seen by certain people and other things like that she becomes a bit uncomfortable. Her mental shields are supposed to protect her from everything, so anything that may be able to bypass them are cheating and she's strongly opposed to it.
Then again, how is she supposed to argue with something that can pass through her shield about how it's not supposed to be able to do that? That hadn't been a problem with Lupin, since he was stuck to Victor all the time. She just wants whatever this woman is to stay away from her. At least until she's sure that it's completely safe.

The fact that Force couldn't see the woman.... Cana didn't help ease Victor's concern. Victor did he best to keep the woman in his field of vision as he slowly reached for a broom that was near by. He was going to swing it at the woman in an attempt to distract her and then possibly subdue her.
"Don't try that." The woman said crossing her arms and shifting on her feet in a disappointed manner. "I figured that you would be able to sense some familiarity in me." She said tapping her foot.
It was then Victor realized that she did seem familiar. And that the void left by Lupin wasn't quite there any more. "If your one of Lupin's kind then why do you look human?" He asked.
Cana flashed an amused smile. "You don't think were all the same do you?" She commented with a laugh. "I have a rare skill among my kind that allows me to choose my appearance. And I have an appearance too."She gestured to herself. "I assumed that if I appeared to you as a human you wouldn't freak out. Clearly I was wrong."
As Victor took this all in he looked to Force. "You can't see or hear her?" He asked her looking back to the strange woman who simply raised an eyebrow waiting for him to get a grip on what he had just learned.

This situation is actually a bit eerie to Phoebe - she'd gotten used to hearing another mind in Victor's head, but seeing and hearing a woman through Victor that she can't see or hear herself is a new one. Though when Cana explains to Victor why she chose her present appearance, she finds herself giggling a little and comments, "Victor always freaks out about pretty women. Maybe you should've tried being a wolf." She looks in the direction that she knows the woman must be, but doesn't see anything at all.
When Victor asks for confirmation of what she just said, she frowns slightly - she hates repeating herself. "I told you I didn't," she replies, "I only know she's there because you do." She frowns in Cana's general direction and asks, "So why can't I see you?" It would certainly make this a lot less weird if she could.

Cana snorted in agreement at Force's comment. "Apparently." She then looked at Victor and raised an eyebrow. "Would you rather have me appear as a huge monster?" She asked dryly.
Victor looked at Cana then back to Force. Ok so he had two females one a little human girl and another a wolf creature thing. And they seemed to be siding against him in regards to his reaction. "Ok then... I'm sorry if I over reacted. But I've never woken up with a woman in my room." He said. Then after a moments thought. "It wasn't nearly as unnerving as what Lupin did."
Cana then looked at Force. "Well you can hear me." She said. "I'm sure there's some way your have see me." He tapped her foot some. "Well you could convince Vic to calm down some more maybe that will help?"

Phoebe looks uneasy the moment that she can tell from Victor's thoughts that Cana is looking at her, and she noticably shifts away from the spot that she knows Cana is. She doesn't respond to Victor since he seems to be talking more to Cana, though when the woman talks directly to her she explains, "I can't really hear you either. But Victor can hear you and see you, and I can read his mind. And that's weird that he can and I can't."

Victor was simply standing where he was trying to think of why this would happen to him. "Is there any reason you picked me out of the couple billion humans on Earth?" He asked trying to step between Cana and Force.
"Well I picked you because I could sense a trace of my father in you." She looked at Victor. "I assumed you would be ok with this." Then she rolled her eyes. "I'm not going to hurt her. I can't. And I can't make you hurt her." She said defensively.
Victor simply stood in front of Force trying to shield her. He had learned by now that she could manage to protect herself but it wasn't going to stop Victor from trying to help. Plus he was still worried about this business with Cana so he felt if he gave himself something to do, then he could calm himself down abit.
Then Cana spoke to Force. "I can't really control who sees me. I was told by my mentors that only my host could see me. But there were rare exceptions." She said.

This time Phoebe remains silent, not knowing what she should do in this bizarre situation. Though she supposes that the answer that Cana gave to her question makes sense. Doesn't mean that it isn't creepy. Also doesn't mean that she doesn't like how Victor is standing between them.

As Victor was eying Cana to make sure she wasn't going to do anything hostile she rolled her eyes and sighed. "stop worrying I can't hurt her." She said. "I can't interact with the physical world." She then moved over to the refrigerator and moved to open it. Instead of grabbing the handle though her hand moved clear through it. "See?" Then she moved back over to Victor "I can however interact with you." She then flicked Victor's nose. In reaction Victor's head snapped back as he grabbed for his nose. "See?"
"What was that for?" Victor asked in a irritated tone. "To make a point." Cana replied. After she answered Victor looked at Force. "I probably look completely insane don't I?"

Phoebe finds herself blinking when Cana's hand goes through the handle on the refrigerator. She can't believe what Victor's seeing! ...She can't believe that she's weirded out by something that someone else can see that she can't see. Okay, this has officially gotten really weird. Though she smirks a little in amusement when Cana demonstrates her ability to flick Victor in the nose.
Nevertheless, she frowns and looks slightly annoyed at Victor when he asks his question. "I already told you that I don't think that you're crazy. Why do you keep asking?" she says, staring at him.

Victor shook his head slightly. "No I'm not asking if you think I'm crazy. I mean if you didn't know would I look crazy?" He explained feeling somewhat amused by all this. His shock was starting to wear off. He was still somewhat unnerved by all this. But not so much now that he knew why she was here. Then he thought about it. He didn't know the reason she was here. Or rather the reason she chose him.
"So why did you pick me to be your host?" He asked never thinking he would have ever said what he just did. Cana shrugged slightly. "Because you felt right." She said. "I could sense traces of my kind coming from you." She said softly knowing that Victor knew her meaning.

There's a short pause before Phoebe responds to that, and when she does, she gives him a short half-smile and asks, "You mean, more than you usually do?" If he's going to feel somewhat amused by this, then she's going to encourage him to feel that way. It's better than him freaking out about it, anyway.

Victor rolled his eyes at Force's response to his question. "Yes more then I usually do." He said turning back to Cana. He also stepped out from between the two seeing as Cana couldn't harm anyone other then Victor. He then rubbed the back of his neck. He had a question on his mind. He didn't really feel ok saying it in front of Force. He had learned that she knew what Lupin had meant by his 'legacy' but he still felt uncomfortable talking about it in front of.... Well in front of anyone.
"You're not gonna try and make me date any girls are you?" He asked. In response Cana laughed. "Vic. I only want what's best for you." She answered teasingly.
