Alexa blinked in disbelief at Herito. The face that he was trying to get her to stay was strange. She thought he would shame her or at least take his sister's side. Then the mention of having something for her too. Really strange. The bag reappeared quickly and it shocked her. How did it get there? Did he have it with him the whole time? It was mindboggling.

Before she could thank him for it, she stepped out of his sister's way. She didn't need to have any unnecessary problems. Plus, what did he mean by brother complex? She would leave that for another time. 

“Hairy knees? Quite the name.” Lita scoffed.

It was pretty funny when Lita pointed it out, so she couldn't help but giggle. Lita seemed to be on a roll with shaving jokes and name changing jokes. It did definitely help with what an awkward moment they had before.

It took Alexa a moment to think about what would happen next. He implied that he had a gift but it couldn't have been her bag. The way he used specific wording and tone, he was implying something in the bag. Now that she thought if it, she had a change of underwear in there. 

‘He must have touched them! How indecent?!’  Alexa screamed inside her head. Her face matched the expression.

The feeling on slipping into the ground was suitable when he mentioned looking inside her bag. He definitely seen her underwear. She hoped beyond hope that he didn't touch them. The thought of her garments smelling like formaldehyde was a lot to take in.

….

“You...improved my clothing… Like I'm wearing nothing… and bullet proof?!” Alexa blinked again as she took it all in. She never worried about being shot while running, but being safer wasn't that bad. 
“I don't know what to say… Thank you.”

Her “thank your ear genuine but she didn't know how she felt about it. The thought of someone touching her clothes without asking was unnerving but he made improvements that she never dreamed of. Her grey eyes averted themselves from his silver ones. 

“That is kind of cool Lex. Now no one can stop you even when your barrier down. I wish I had that.”

Alexa smiled at Lita. That was a way to think about it. 

“I wouldn't mind some more friends, I guess.” Alexa flashed Herito her most carefree smile.
