For the first hour after the incident, Dominique couldn't look anyone in the eye. She had come out of the shower, visibly jumping when she opened the door to see Dr. Luxuria sitting on the bed, looking at the blood stained carpet. "I'm sorry you had to go through something no woman should ever have to deal with," Luxuria said, breaking the tense silence. Dominique tightened the towel she wore, frowning as she walked over to grab pants and a shirt. "I'm actually glad Robin and Juan came when they did, otherwise you would never be able to prove Henry took advantage of you. I'm so sorry I gave him the tools to use against you." Dom looked to see Luxuria was genuine in her apology, deep regret and sadness all over her face.
Adverting her eyes, Dominique simply shrugged, turning so she could slip on her underclothing without Luxuria seeing too much. "No one knew he would do such a thing, it's not your fault." Dominique kept her back turned as she pulled on her pants. "You know you can talk about this, you don't have to act like something horrible didn't just happen to you." The anger Dominique was keeping suppressed flared suddenly, the red head spinning around and taking an angry step towards Luxuria. "If I was to acknowledge the trauma that has happened to me, I wouldn't be as sane as I am now! You want me to talk about this to you like you're my therapist? Let's start then! Your boss is a psycho that made me kill my brother, and watch my father die! I've killed people without blinking an eye, you amputated my arm and put a on metal replacement, I've been injected with mystery liquid that makes me as strong as a bull, what part should we focus on first?!" Dom's voice was slowly raising, but she quickly stopped yelling when Luxuria stood. "Forget it! I was stupid to ask you to talk about it, I didn't mean for you to relive all your trauma." Dominique glared, but quickly relaxed. "I'm sorry for snapping..." Luxuria scoffed, shaking her head. "There's no reason to apologize for something you couldn't help."
The doctor went and opened the door, explaining the new living conditions they would be switching to. Dominique could feel Robin looking at her the entire time Luxuria was talking, the feeling warming her insides, almost rejuvenating her emotions. As the guards went to finish packing everything up, and Luxuria left, Dominique finally turned and looked to Robin. She gave him a little smile before trotting over to him, hugging him around the middle. Robin seemed surprised by the show of affection, but of course returned the hug, Dominique visibly relaxing completely. Dominique couldn't tell if Robin wanted to question her about what went down with Henry or not, but it seemed like an unspoken agreement that the two wouldn't acknowledge the mishap until Dominique was ready.
It didn't take long for Juan and Sam to pack up the flat, both of them giving Dom brotherly pats on the back as they passed by. With the help of Robin and Dominique, they carried all of the boxed clothing to the new apartment. The new home was much more luxurious, the living area much bigger, with a large sectional couch and a flat screen TV. The kitchen was a good size, big enough for a larger person like Robin to move around. The bedrooms were much bigger, king size beds and walk in closets, as well as their own bathrooms included. For a split second Dominique was actually glad something bad happened, so they got the upgraded room. She helped Juan unload her clothing, Sam helping Robin in his room, which was next to Dom's. Once done, Dominique fully explored the apartment. There were actual windows along the walls, but Dominique could tell the bright sunny day outside was animated, showing a city apartment with moving traffic.
Investigating the TV there was still no cable TV, but there was a very large selection of movies and TV show series. The kitchen was already stalked with enough dishes to last Robin and Dominique a few days without having to wash anything, and the fridge was stalked full of food, as well as a small pantry. Dominique turned to Robin, who was also exploring, grinning at him. "Major improvement," She giggled to him, going back to the movies to inspect them further. In the back of her mind, she still had the incident playing over and over, but the new apartment seemed to distract her enough to keep her from breaking down.
Sam and Juan left shortly after Robin and Dominique found a good movie, both of them sitting on the sectional couch. As the artificial sky in the windows started to get darker, Dominique felt the fatigue of that days events starting to get to her, her eyelids drooping slowly. Eventually she allowed herself to lay down, 'casually' putting her head in Robin's lap as she found a throw blanket on the back of the couch, pulling it over herself. Soon she fell asleep listening to the movie, ever so slightly feeling Robin's chest moving as he slowly breathed.
