Martin was awake and, in the kitchen, brewing morning coffee. He popped a bread in the toaster. He didn't feel bad about using Antonio's home as his own. The Professor told them the previous night to make themselves feel at home. So Martin did. It was a nice change to be able to relax a bit; he was getting tired of being on the run. There were too many people after Kevin for him to handle.
"Morning," he said when Anita joined him in the kitchen. His toast popped up. He took it out and dropped them on the counter. Anita sauntered over to him and picked up one of the slices, immediately taking a bite out of it. Martin scowled. Anita didn’t notice.
"Antonio's made a few discoveries regarding Kevin that you may want to hear about. He has run a few tests but He said he won't have anything conclusive for a few days at least. But it may worth hearing what he has to say and seeing the proof he's found," she said with a mouthful of food. She then turned to the fridge, where she found the orange juice and prepared herself a drink.
"Anything big?" he asked.
"Well, nothing amazing, I guess, but some interesting stuff. I suspect we won't know anything ground-breaking until later on. I'm gonna go back to sleep, though. Talk to Antonio and wake me up for lunch," Anita yawned and walked into the living room with her glass of juice. He watched her collapse on the couch and sip away at the glass until it was empty. She then yawned loudly, and fell asleep.
Martin stared at her for a few minutes in thought, watching the way her body rose and fell with each breath. For a moment he thought of his wife, and again of how similar she was to Anita. Before he went any further, he shook his head and turned away to search for Antonio in the lab.
Antonio was cooped up in his lab studying the unconscious alien, or Superhuman or whoever it was.
"Coffee?" asked Martin holding two cups, offering one to the Professor. "Thank You Martin" said the professor and kept the mug on a thick folder using it as a coaster.
"So, Anita tells me that you have got something on our Superman here" said Martin showing his left thumb in Kevin's direction.
The professor did not say anything. He appeared lost in thought.
