“How was she? Any fights?”
“Nothing serious. No, it was actually kind of nice. I might even do it again, if she let me.”
“Really,” he replied, skepticism clear in his tone.
Hehe. Wasn’t expecting that, were you.
“Really.”
“What changed?”
“I’m figuring her out, I think. How she operates, how she thinks.”
It’s worth noting that Taylor has a head start that Brian doesn’t, even if he’s been Rachel’s teammate for significantly longer. Lisa never told him about what Rachel’s power did to her brain, so Brian had to learn from scratch.
“I’ve spent ten months on the same team with her, and I haven’t even come close to getting how she thinks. I can usually keep her from going too far or hurting someone, keep her mostly in line and get her to follow directions, but I haven’t had a conversation with her yet that didn’t make me want to bang my head against a wall.”
And this is why I didn’t use the word “friend” in my last paragraph.
Heh, and here I used to think that Brian was the one with the strongest connection with Rachel. To such an extent that I suggested alien emotional romance was afoot!
