"She might not talk, but she can tell one hell of a story"
Dia doesn't talk by choice, only a few people know why. She communicates by sign language and so her friends were left with no choice but to learn the language so they can understand her.

Isaura's loud snores were heard all around the house. It woke everyone up except the sick woman. It seemed that the meeting place was the kitchen because when a sleepy and angry Dia trudged out of her room, she spotted her brother and roommate standing around the kitchen isle.
"We have to do something" Josh was first to talk.
"I'm too tired to do something" Pablo yawned.
"Besides, it's witching hour" the female voice came out of Dia's phone.
Pablo made a fear stricken look at that. "We shouldn't even be awake right now. The chupacabra will come. El cucuy"
Joshua turned to Pablo with a straight face "the boogeyman?"
"He'll come for you if you're not sleeping" Dia signed. Josh rolled his eyes.
"He's real. You don't mess with that shit" Pablo firmly said.
Josh was about to say something but Isa's loud snores brought him back to the subject at hand "she needs to go" he said.
"We can't really kick out a sick person. Besides, her building is being remodeled, she has nowhere else to go" Pablo tried to reason.
"We need to soundproof those walls then"
"Right. Let me just take out my hammer and- it's the middle of the night! I want to sleep!" Pablo whisper shouted.
"So do I!" Josh replied.
They argued in hushed tones for several minutes, the only reason they stopped was when they heard the rolling of a suitcase across the floor. They looked up to see Dia in her sleeping attire. A pair of sweats and a sweater, white converse on her feet. She came out of her room with a suitcase in one hand and her pin and patch covered backpack on her shoulders.
"Where are you going?" Pablo was first to ask.
"I've been saying that I'm leaving and so here I am, leaving" Dia signed.
"I never thought she would actually go through with it" Joshua admitted. Dia began to pick up the bags that are leaning against the wall.
"Where are you going?" Pablo asked.
"Far enough where Isaura's snoring won't be heard" Her phone dinged and she pulled it out to check the screen.
"Did you get an Uber?" Josh asked. Dia nodded before clicking her tongue for Biscuit. She waved at her brother and friend as she left the room.
"Where are you going?" Pablo ran after her and stopped at the top of the stairs where Dia is making her decent along with her dog. Dia held her phone in one hand and tapped something on the screen.
"Tony's"
"Tony- The Avengers compound?" Pablo gasped. Dia nodded before opening the door. She turned and signed bye before exiting the door.
