Brian came to the room where Alejandra was looking at him, he could only think of one thing, an explanation. The boy from the museum approached her and sat on the sofa where she was sitting and remained silent and had her hood over her head. There was absolute silence in those seconds until Alejandra decided to break it.
Alejandra: "Everything she told me is true? You were tortured and now you have the power to run at unimaginable speed?" –She asked him.
Brian didn't say a single word and kept listening to her, clearly he wasn't good at words and just saw Alejandra.
Brian: "Uff ... well, let's say yes" –he finally speak.
Alejandra: "When did that happen?"
Brian: "A month ago, before arriving at El Dorado" –he said neutrally.
Alejandra: "And what will you do about it?"
Brian: "Well ... stay here and think about how to defeat the man who made me be what I am now"
Alejandra stared at him for a few seconds until she looked away from his, again the silence between them returned and Brian was quieter than a statue.
Alejandra: "You don't plan to return with your family?" –She asked him.
Brian's eyes widened after hearing that and clearly the thoughts came to mind, memories before what happened to him.
Brian: "They are better without me"
Obviously, that answer made Alejandra stunned about that.
Alejandra: "How do you say that? They are your family, they must be very worried about you, your dad, your mom, your… "
Brian: "As I said before, they are better off without me" –said the latter coldly in his tone.
Alejandra stared at him and she was somewhat stunned by that response, she did not expect such a reaction from Brian regarding his family, something she thought about what had happened to him and his family.
Alejandra: "You don't have a good relationship with your family, do you?"
Brian: "With the exception of my brother, obviously. I only had a few family problems is everything"
Alejandra: "But express yourself that way ..."
Brian: "Listen, I didn't come here to talk about my family life, what did Barbara tell you?" –He told her trying not to bother.
Alejandra blinked at that and gave a slight sigh to answer.
Alejandra: "Well, she told me about your hyper speed, clashes with the scientific man and some things. And he also said that I could sleep, although I didn't say yes, first I want to communicate with my mother to tell her that I'm fine"
Brian remained silent and watched as Barbara approached the living room to give Alejandra a hotcakes and strawberry juice.
Barbara: "I thought you were hungry, I brought that to you" –she told the baker's daughter.
Alejandra: "Thank you very much" –she said as she took the hotcakes and strawberry juice.
From there, Barbara asked Brian to come to the kitchen and Brian sighed and got up from the sofa to accompany her to the kitchen and Barbara closed the kitchen door so Alejandra wouldn't hear the conversation.
Brian: "What's up?" –He said as he looked at her.
At that moment, Barbara pulled Brian's left ear, causing the boy from the museum to feel some pain due to the strong movement Barbara gave him.
Barbara: "First of all, you should improve the tone of voice you speak in front of a girl" –she said.
Brian: "Just for that?" -he said still having the pain by the ear pull.
Barbara: "Second, express yourself well from your family, that's why your mother gave birth to you, right?"
Brian: "Right, but you have to keep in mind that they are my family problems" –he said as he growled.
From there, Barbara stopped pulling his ear and Brian rubbed his ear where he was pulled.
Barbara: "But still, don't talk about your family like that" –she said as she put her hands on her hips.
Brian: "I promise nothing. By the way, where is Masashi?" –he ask her.
Barbara: "Well, since we arrived, he is in the backyard doing a meditation, he says that in case we face that Dr. crazy" –she said.
Brian: "Ok"
Barbara: "Anyway, I need you to go out with Ale out"
Brian: "WHAT?! Why?"
Barbara: "Very simple, you need to relax for a while after so many crazy things and incidentally give Alejandra a tour of California"
Brian: "You're asking me to take a risk, besides, someone could discover me with ..."
Barbara: "Don't worry, I bought you new clothes so you can go out with Ale" –she said, giving him a playful smile.
Brian: "How is that ...? Anyway" –he said in a bored tone.
Barbara: "Your new clothes are in my room, take off what you have and put on that one"
Brian said nothing and immediately went to that room while Barbara left the kitchen to watch Alejandra who had finished eating the hotcakes.
Alejandra: "The hotcakes were delicious, thanks Mrs. Barbara" –she said gratefully.
Barbara: "Please, just Barbara. By the way, Brian will take you on a tour of California" –she said as she sat next to Alejandra.
Alejandra: "Really?" –she asked something surprised.
Barbara: "Of course, he will be happy to take you and he got that idea" –she said.
"OF COURSE NOT!" –Said Brian from the stairs.
Barbara and Alejandra listened to him and they kept talking.
Barbara: "Calm down, he will do it because otherwise ..." –she said as she showed Alejandra her fingers.
The baker's daughter did not understand that, but at least she could know a little in California, only she expected nothing bad to happen on the tour.
