Chapter 25
Danny POV
After Rex was done crying. He let go of us and looked around and his eyes landed on Noah. He smiled and gave Noah a high five and a hug. He sat back down and looked at Danny and started to talk to us once he finished drinking the water Noah gave us.
"What happened? The last thing I remember is being thrown into my cell after Bastard Brown finished his experiment on me?"
"Well, to start off, I had just finished with Brown and I was being taken back to my cell and Ben was being taken to Brown.I saw Ben in his sorry state, his hair was a mess, he was covered in dried blood, and when I noticed that he had no pants on, only boxers.I was so mad, I started to fight against the soldiers. It wasn't until we knocked out the soldiers that we realized that we had the only chance to escape. So we ran to your cell. Ben transformed into something with four arms and knocked out the door and when we got inside, he knocked out the wall that led to the outside. An-"
Ben cut me off
"Hold on, you wouldn't believe what he did. So we looked out the window and it's raining hard and we were staring down a ravine and there's a huge river at the bottom. Danny was already there next to me, with Rex in his arms. I told him that the river was our only chance to escape and he agreed with me. So he pushed me out of the hole, and jumped down with Rex in his arms."
"You're kidding?! There are so many ways that could of went wrong, are you crazy?!"
Caesar was the one who burst out in anger.
"We know, but it was our only way out. They would have caught us if we didn't jump out."
Begrudgingly, Caesar realized that Danny was right and sat down, still mumbling that we were insane.
"We had to hold onto Rex the entire time. We kept on hitting rocks as we went down the river," We heard Caesar say oh my God in Spanish but we continued," Eventually, we were heading toward this big rock that would have knocked us out or killed us if we hit it. So Ben turned into one of his aliens and took us to another part of the river that leads to the irrigation canal you found us in. Ben had passed out after he turned back into a human, which is why you found us with those two unconscious and me dragging them out of the river."
Everyone was quiet for a little bit until Noah spoke up.
"At least you guys are out of there. Rex, are you ready to go ahead and take a shower and get your hair cut or are you gonna wanna wait and go back to sleep."
Rex looked ecstatic at the thought of being clean.
"Oh God yes, come on, someone help me out of bed, I've been needing a shower for years now."
I and Danny helped Rex out of bed and asked Noah to go and grab the scissors, comb, and stool so I can cut his hair in the bathroom. Once Noah brought it, we helped Rex into the bathroom and sat him down on the stool. Once I got approval from Rex, I started to cut his hair in the old style he had when we first met him. Soon, there was long black hair all over the floor and Rex looked like his old self again. We told Rex to slip on into the shower while we cleaned up and brought him a change of clothes.
I walked back into the steamy bathroom with his clothes in hand. His head popped out of the curtain and he said thanks when he saw the clothes. As I was walking out, I gave him a piece of advice.
"Hey Rex,if you're having a hard time washing your hair to get out all of the oil, use the body soap, that should do it, that what Ben did"
He was quiet for a little bit and then I heard him say that hes a fucking genius. I smiled and closed the door and we sat down in his room as we waited for him to come out. Then I remembered that Ben was trying to tell us something before we landed in the river.
"Hey Ben, right before we landed in the river, you were trying to tell us something. What was it?"
Ben gave me a surprised look and soon a blush appeared on his cheeks." Oh, umm." He turned away and started to talk again." I was trying to say that I love you guys."
"Awww, I love you too Ben."
I grabbed Ben around the shoulders and gave him a light noogie on his head.
"Come on Danny cut it out."
"Are you guys having fun without me?"
We looked towards the doorway to the bathroom and saw Rex standing with a smile on his face.
"Hey look, he has the same thing!"
Ben jumped up and ran towards Rex. Once he got to him, he carefully turned his head to the right and showed a big patch of white hair near his left ear. It was bigger than Ben's but smaller than mine.
"What? What's wrong?"
"Go ahead and look in the mirror, then you'll see what I and Ben are talking about."
Rex walked into the bathroom and I could hear him asking himself when his hair turned white. He walked out and looked at my red and white hair.
"Why isn't Danny's hair white too...wait for nevermind."
"Ok guys, we need to have a talk."
Rex sat down on his bed and scooted over so we can sit next to him.
"Ok guys, do you want to continue using our fake names so we can get used to them. Or, do you want to use our real names?"
"I mean, I think it'll be a good idea if we change our names, it'll be harder to find they sound cool anyway."
"Yeah, it'll be a good idea to change our names."
I was going to continue our conversation about the names but Rex cut me off.
"So Danny,what about your human side? Why haven't you used it yet?"
