Alex had made quick work of the floor and went to wiping the surface of counter. She's seen this thing dirtied one too many times to brush it off anymore. Though, she did wish for time to go by slowly. She dreaded having to meet up with the others. She still didn't think it was a good idea to keep their identities out in the open like that - even if it was just between themselves. Alex could list out entire reasons as to why this was such a horrible idea. That Barristris did a number on them - and she was pretty loathe to admit that.

When they were given the 'go' signal to leave and that they would be cleaning lockers tomorrow, Alex gravitated to Brian. She honestly didn't want him to leave yet, if anything, so that she'd be able to get out of this meeting even if she was the one to tell him that they should group up later. [b]"Something the matter Alex?"[/b] Brian couldn't help but ask, seeing the distress in her face. Only a few people could read her as easily, and Brian was one of them. 

[b][color=f26522]"No. Nothing, just... uh, you go home first."[/color][/b] Alex finally said. 

[b]"Alright. Take care going home alright."[/b] Brian said as he patted Alex's head and then left. [b]"See you tomorrow at detenion! I can't wait until Jess talks to me about this!"[/b] He followed up with a light chuckle. 

Alex then took in a deep breath to calm herself as she waved goodbye to the male. Once she was calm enough, she headed over to the young boy who was waiting for them. Bella had gone to her, asking her whether she was ready to go home or not, but cut herself off when she saw Eddie who was taking out his kwami. Her heart began to race. But she said nothing and waited for the other one to come. Once she was there, Alex would be the first one to speak up.

[b][color=f26522]"I know you guys are ecstatic that you found out who the heroes are. Who your teammates are. But I seriously doubt that this is a good idea."[/color][/b] She started before crossing her arms. [b][color=f26522]"There is a reason why there are secret identities. To protect those who are close to us. Even if it's just us here and we all promise never to tell anyone about our secret identities, don't you think Rogue Bat will still find a way to work around this?"[/color][/b] Alex continued. If she figured out how those akumas work correctly, then any one of them was susceptible to being put under Rogue Bat's control. They are still human after all. And once Rogue Bat orders one of them to find the others and take their Miraculous, then they'd be able to do so even without seeking them out for their Miraculous forms.

[b][color=f26522]"I'm sorry, but this shouldn't have happened in the first place. I wanted to keep my personal life and my hero life as separate as possible."[/color][/b] She admitted, now moving to put her hands inside her pockets. There it was, her number one reason for not wanting to know their secret identities.
