Alejandra listened carefully to Aladdin's explanation. Now it made sense, why Alejandra coveted the lamp so much now. Her gaze lingered down at it, her thumb gently brushing over that same stained spot. Precious, indeed.
"Yes, I can imagine. I don't like the idea of you going to anyone else yet either," she answered with a thoughtful expression. Half of her mind was busy entertaining ideas for other wishes, but the other half was preoccupied with what Aladdin had mentioned. Other threats. The criminal element here in Gotham was proving to be a double-edged sword. Yes, they compromised and distracted the police and the heroes, but their competition was also formidable. It annoyed her, much like the rain. Hopefully, she wouldn't be in Gotham for much longer.
Alejandra, now covered in cooled baked earth and soot, started walking towards the exit of the building, lamp still clutched to her chest. The tempting nature of the lamp clearly incentivized using the wishes, but she still wasn't sure of what she should wish for, so she felt compelled to protect and hide it away.
"Come with me. Or not. You're free to go wherever you like, it seems. And I have no interest in telling you where you can and cannot go," she said to Aladdin over her shoulder as she walked, eager to get back into her SUV and put on a new change of clothes.
