It doesn't look like anything besides that she's deep in thought for half a minute.

"The doctor's name was Watson," she automatically tells him. Unless... Power, was the Doctor's name different on Earth Aleph?

No. (Also, ouch.) 

OK, fine, she was being responsible and checked but there's really no way this Elan came from another world. It was maybe reasonable of him to assume because his memories are scrambled (?) but there's really no way.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news for you though," she goes on. See how honest and transparent and friendly she's being! Do not punch the messenger!

"First, I couldn't find who you are or were or where you're from."

"Second, and the reason I couldn't, is that I think your face and voice changed when you got powers, just like your memories did." She'll hold back the even worse news for now. "Your memories might even have changed to prevent you from freaking out because you look and sound different... but that means I have nothing to go on, and neither will the police."

"I'm sorry."

Grue whistles. "That's really rough, man."

"Or it could be good! Getting powers is supposed to solve the problem you're having right then." (He says, sarcastically.) "Maybe you really wanted to start a new life, fresh face and everything."

Grrrr. But also, sharp nod.

There's lots of things the doctor can be named! Like James Wilson or Joan Watson or David Dawson. Elan sits on this factoid, because:

"Oh, that makes perfect sense! See, what happened—in my memory, anyway—was after I graduated from school to be a bard, I got a diary. I think it was supposed to be a regular diary, but it wrote back and said that it was sent by a spirit that wanted to share its power with me. I thought it was a framing device at first… y'know, like when the narrator says that something really happened even if it didn't? I realized it was for real eventually. But anyway, a lot of the powers were about how I look! Like… at all times I'm supposed to look exactly how I would if this was a self-insert fanfic about my life."

Pause.

"That's… not a direct quote. But anyway, I guess that could just be something that my powers put in my head so I would have the right expectations? I don't even know for sure what I look like right now, but I was blond and blue-eyed and Northern and had 18 Charisma… anyway, um, so I guess that either way I need to find someplace to stay and can't count on any family I have here being able to find me."

He puts his hand up.

"If one of you guys has a place that's okay for me to stay at, that would be really nice? But if it would be too hard… well, so far I haven't expected to have a specific power that I didn't. So I think if I needed to find a hotel I would be able to pay for it okay, even without help."

Oh good, his false memories are blatantly fake and unrealistic. Hopefully with time he'll be able to realize this. This is much better than remembering an entirely fake but realistic life in the real world.

"Here, you can use my compact to see what you look like. Blond and blue-eyed is right!" For now, anyway.

None of them is going to trust him in their private apartment (while they're sleeping) and none of them want to unmask to him anyway.

They could maaaaybe take him to the shared loft? But someone would still need to stay and watch him, and also if he ends up going to the Protectorate or something they won't want him to know where their secret base is.

Coil would definitely have a free flat for him to use but she doesn't want to give this poor new cape to Coil, she found him he's hers that's like the opposite of being friendly.

She glances at Grue. The team leader should be the one to tell people no.

Grue's been having similar thoughts.

"We don't want to unmask to you, sorry, that's not something to decide on the spot. But we can help you find a motel that's still open and pay for a few nights and order pizza or something. And we can keep in touch, maybe meet again tomorrow or the day after."

"I'm guessing you don't have a phone?" Her power would have said if he did, because it'd be a way to track down where he came from. "Take this, it's cheap but you can call and message. No internet, obviously, you can get online in a library or something." Cheap burner phones are very useful in her line of work.
