Alexandra: grinning, eyeing the weights 'Sup slugger, ready to bench your heart out? Missed your ass in these parts.
smirks Well, well, well, look who decided to grace us with their presence after disappearing off the face of the earth!
snatches a dumbbell and starts doing bicep curls Oh, you know me, always popping up when you least expect it.
What happened? Why did you vanish like that?
continues curling, not missing a beat Oh, you know how it is, Flores. Life's a wild ride, and sometimes you just gotta take a detour to find yourself.
Is that really all it was? Or were you hiding from something...or someone?
stops curling abruptly, locks eyes with Flores Hiding? From someone? smirks Nah, I don't hide from anyone, Flores.
raises an eyebrow That's a load of bullshit, Alexandra. Everyone has secrets they don't want to share. What's yours?
pauses for a moment, assessing Flores Look, maybe I did have my reasons for disappearing. But it's not something I can just spill over in a gym, Flores.
Fine, spill it then. I'm all ears.
takes a deep breath, leans in closer to Flores Alright, fine. But promise me you won't freak out, okay? It's a personal story, one I've never shared with anyone before.

softens his gaze Shit, Alexandra...I had no idea. Why didn't you reach out to me back then?
smirks, appreciating Flores's empathy Well, Flores, you know me. Always trying to tough it out and play the hero.
Yeah, I get it. We all have our demons to battle. But Alexandra, you shouldn't have faced everything alone.
pauses, a hint of vulnerability showing through her tough exterior Thanks, Flores.
nods So, what's next for you, Alexandra? Any plans for revenge or just moving forward?
smirks, leaning in closer to Flores Well, Flores, I've learned a thing or two about resilience and strategy.
chuckles Hell of a combination. So, what's this 'next' you're talking about, Alexandra?
leans in even closer, her voice low and confident Next, Flores, is where the fun begins.
smiles, intrigued Damn right, Alexandra. Let's see what tricks you've got up your sleeve now.
grins mischievously Oh, you won't believe it, Flores. I've been working on a little side project that's going to shake things up.
raises an eyebrow, smirking A side project, huh? This should be good. Spill it, Alexandra.
pulls out a sleek, high-tech gadget from her bag and shows it to Flores Behold, Flores, the latest invention from your old pal Alexandra.
chuckles, taking the gadget Nice. What's this baby capable of?
