Barry, a genius that ordinary people couldn't stand, was nothing to Luke.
Tony, who had a bad temper and a poisonous tongue, Ivan, and Bent, the researcher who lacked common sense (the one who invented the Sick Stick) – if any one of them could be considered a mad scientist who had no regard for human life, Barry in comparison was far easier to deal with.

Barry's face actually turned a little red, especially when he saw that the attention of the long-legged big sister was focused on him. He said awkwardly, "Well, so far, no…"
Luke walked over with a sympathetic expression. "Don't you know that many brunch customers are actually couples with very active night lives?"
Barry was at a loss. "That, I know."
