Home Alone: Harry's Revenge

chapter 6

Max smiled around her and seemed to have been tired from her full belly. Marv took the plates that were empty into the kitchen.

"So, Lex, that's an interesting name." Kevin made conversation before they would watch the movie.

Lex grinned as Marv came in after washing the dishes. "I'm named after the owner of the Daily Planet."

"Oh." Kevin's eyes lit up at that name.

Max laughed a little and smiled at Lex.

"Lex Luther," the older boy said, as Luther was his last name. "Mom's idea of a joke... A cool one though."

"I like that movie." Marv grinned.

"I always thought Luther was your middle name?" Max spoke up with an amused smile.

Kevin laughed a little.

"Yeah." Lex nodded with a smile.

"You're my Spiderman." Max smiled at Lex, confusing her comic book characters.

"Wrong comic, Max." Kevin whispered to her.

"Batman?" Max asked, sheepishly.

"It's Superman, babe." Lex said with a smile.

"Oh, I never really read comic books." Max smiled sheepishly.

"That's okay, Max." Lex said.

Marv gave a smile and shook his head lightly.

Max smiled daintly. "Come on, let's watch the movie."

"Oh, yeah!" Kevin cheered, grabbing the video and rushing to the living room to put it on for all of them.

Lex put an arm around Max. Marv looked around a moment, an uncharacteristic frown on his face. He however settled down after a minute and looked at the TV screen.

"I wish I had a pet alien, that'd be really cool, I bet he could do my homework." Kevin said, waiting for the movie to start like the others.

"I used to have a pet alien, his name was Saix." Max followed up.

Kevin and the others looked at her.

Marv looked at her with wide eyes. "Really?" he asked with almost childlike curiosity.

"Yeah," Max curved her smile. "Only I could see and hear him though..."

Kevin smirked in amusement. He now understood that story and just decided to roll with it. He wasn't a little kid anymore that would find that unbelievably different and fantastic.

Lex chuckled and watched the film.

Marv smiled. "Wow..." he gasped like he had announced when he had looked up from the basement in New York.

Max watched in content of the movie, feeling worried and afraid for the little alien and hoped he would be alright. She had seen this movie before, but she was really young at the time and barely remembered it. Kevin watched the movie with just as the same awestruck and seat gripping of the movie. Lex smiled as he watched the movie. Marv still felt like something was wrong, though he couldn't place it.

Max giggled at the little girl in the movie. For some reason, she reminded her of herself when she was younger.

Kevin laughed a little at some funny parts, then turned to Marv. "You okay, Marv?"

Lex glanced over at Marv.

Marv nodded, slightly frowning though. "I feel like somethin's off," he said. "Dunno what though."
