ALEX

Maybe it was immature of me but I found reason to stay away from our apartment slash hotel floor all night. I just wasn’t ready to deal with Mera and Beck going back to playing house again. I didn’t want to her them talking or laughing or anything else in that room.

Sonny’s idea of movie night was a good diversion until I realized he was playing Willy Wonka. At least it was the original version, but still…Willy Wonka?

The best part of the movie came after it was over and the left theater door jammed and everyone thought they were trapped. All it took was a good push, or go to the other door.

There were a lot of “Thank you for saving us, Sonny” com-ments, glorifying him once again, when all the man did was hit the door with his hip.

The good thing was, after talking to Beck and sharing my theory about the future little Sonny actually being the Sandman, he told me Hot Doc was taking in the movie. I wanted to get his take, but then again, Hot Doc never really took me too serious.

After the movie, he claimed he was too tired and for me to catch him in the lab.

My best bet was to be the one to take him in the morning.

I took a shift at the gate and grabbed a couple hours sleep in my office.

Wasn’t expecting Beck to be the one to wake me.

He knocked on my door. “Were you in here all night?” Beck asked.

“No. Something about Willy Wonka made a couple of the guys sick. I took a watch after the movie.”

“You should go back home and get some sleep.”

I chuckled. “Yeah and no. Two toddlers and a baby? No thank you. I won’t get any sleep.”

“You will if you go at ten. I know it’s a few hours from now, but still, you’ll be able to rest.”

“Alright I’ll bite, why ten?”

“Training day.”

“Training day?”

“Yeah, Mera brought up the fact that she and few others have no idea how to defend themselves or fight the Sleepers.”

“They don’t need to,” I said.

“That’s what I told her, but she brought up some good points on why they should and so we are having training.”

“Who is training?” I asked.

“Me, Danny, one of my soldiers and I was hoping for Sonny or Miles, whichever one doesn’t drive Javier to the lab.”

I stood and stretched. “I was hoping I could take him to the lab this morning.”

“You alright to drive?”

I nodded.

“I know you aren’t driving him out of the goodness of your heart. Does this have something to do with your Sonny theory?”

“Yeah, he wouldn’t talk to me after Wonka. Said it made him tired and dizzy.”

“I can’t watch it either. Does that to me.”

“Really?” I asked. “So, uh…four of you to train Mera?”

Beck laughed. “No. If it was only Mera, it would be different. I mentioned it and we have sign ups.”

“Who?”

“Mera, Renee, Patty, Bonny…”

“Bonny don’t need training.”

“She wants to be there.”

“Think Danny needs to break out that phone and get some pictures.
