A few seconds later.
Ava speaks, "Done, sir. "What would your fake name be, sir?" And for a second I think about it, then speak in an amused tone: "James Lee... since I am going to China, I want to make it a little believable, right?" and I smile a little.
And then I head to the king-size bed and have a good sleep while Ava wonders, 'Where does Dad learn about this information?' First, the ten rings, which seem so hard to find anything about, while K'un-Lun? There was flat-out nothing about them. How did Papa know about these places? Ever since I was born, the only thing that has not made sense to me or that I could not understand or figure out was my papa... Leo, what are you?...'
Well, it seems Ava still calls Leo "Papa" deep inside her consciousness, and also Ava starts to wonder more about her creator also because Leo always puts Ava on mute before turning into aliens, so Ava does not know her creator could turn into a different alien. That's just how careful Leo was; even his own AI does not know about the Omnitrix...
The next day comes by, and I wear a casual white shirt, and over that I wear a black jacket, and on top of that I wear casual black jeans with the same cheap sunglasses from a long time ago. Leo still wears these, and with his hands in his pockets, he walks out of the big house because there was a cab to pick Leo up and go right to the airport. While inside the cab, Leo calls Abby and says, "Hey, I won't be able to come to the house for the next few days, ok? just some group activities and studies, you know?"
Abby spoke back. "Ok, fine, but at least call one weak, ok? And you better not get in any trouble, ok? "Stupid," and after chatting with Abby, I say bye and get out of the cab because here I was at the airport...
Walking inside the airport, showing off my pass, which Ava had given me in the morning by mail, and walking right in because it was a business class flight. I was not going to fly cheap, no way. And after showing the reception my fake passport and my flight ticket, the air hostess with a smile on her face says, "Welcome aboard, James Lee," and with a smile, I nod and walk in and sit down in my seat and lay back.
'Now this was the life for sure. Flying first class—even in my past life I only did it like 2 times? But again, it was the best time for sure, and the flight was wonderful, to say the least. The staff acts like I am some VIP, which did not help my ego at all, but well, after a nice flight, I come out of the airport. This was China, huh?
2006 January 8th
I reached China now to get to the 'Gate of K'un-Lun in the Himalayas in the Tibet region.' Well, it's fine; I have a form here. I don't need to get a cab from here. I go XLR8... Now I can fully test how fast XLR8 truly is because I really could not test XLR8 normally because, well, I could not just keep running inside my house or my training facility underground because, well, I could never reach full speed. The most I was able to reach was 500 miles, but now we will know how fast XLR8 truly is, even in the bed. 10 showed XLR8 was one of the aliens that got stronger the older Ben himself got...
I walk inside an alley, and well, after making sure there was no one around and no cameras around, I twist the dial of the Omnitrix till I find XLR8, and then I push the dial back in, and with a green light covering me...
I was now XLR8, and then I got in a running pose and closed my mask on my face, and then I started running fast from Kunming Changshui International Airport in China straight to the Tibetan Himalayas. It almost felt like time had slowed around me as I kept moving faster and faster! I have never gone this fast ever as XLR8...
And I stop running and tap the watch head on my chest, turning back into a human. I open my phone and smile as I see the stopwatch... '52 minutes'—that's all it took me to run from China to Tibet. That's pretty much 800 miles per hour, more than Mark 1 flight jets...
That was fast, almost the speed of sound fast... so that's how fast XLR8 truly is, huh? Crazy... now to look for this Gate of K'un-Lun... As I walk to what seems like a village with a friendly smile on my face, I try to talk to a little monk who was looking at me, and then I realize, 'Oh yeah, they don't speak English. Thank god I have an AI to help me translate.'
I pull out my flip phone, which, even though it looked like a normal flip phone, was much more advanced than a normal flip phone, and open the Ava app and speak, "Hey Ava, can you translate for me?" And after having a chat with the little monk, I learn that he knows where the gate of K'un-Lun is, and he shows it to me... and he also asked me my name...
"Ava, tell him my name is James Lee..."
