Robin just shook his head and walked over to sit down on the couch. "I am not certain how anything good can come out of what has been happening here. We are turned into mutant freaks and then told to kill others if we wish to survive ourselves." Robin just sat quietly for a moment, then looked back up at Dominique, "Have you ever thought of just giving up when you are in the pit? Have you ever thought that death would be a welcomed thing?"
Robin didn't wait for an answer, he just shook his head again and then stood up to walk over to his room. Closing the door behind him, he undressed and then went into the shower to clean up. The warm water sent out in pulses felt good on his aching body. After washing up, he just stood under the stream of water and let his concerns wash away and go down the floor drain with the rest of the dirt and grime.
When he came out, he heard Dom's shower still going, so he went to the kitchen to start cooking some food for the two. He decided on spaghetti. After the food was ready, he placed it on plates and then looked up to see Dominique coming out of her room. He gave her a smile as she came to sit down at the table. The two spoke about the event at the gym today and then about what might happen tomorrow in the pit. Overall, they seemed confident about their chances and then started to think more about the thing the guard said about using their abilities for good.
"I wonder who's good he was speaking of. I have a bit of a hard time believing that a group that kidnaps people, makes them fight for their lives to stay alive, conducts cruel and unusual treatments on them could be involved with anything that is good for mankind. So, I wonder who's good?" They just sat that as they pondered the thought. Neither seemed to know what he might have meant and neither thought that they would ever really be allowed out of the "Institution" to do good for mankind when they could simply slip away and tell someone about what is happening here.
They worked together on some of the team techniques shown in the manuals thinking it might be good to know something more for the next days fight. After that, they sat down with a bowl of popcorn and watched a movie together. Sitting on the couch, Robin kept making his way a bit closer to his female roommate. By the time the movie ended, he had his arm around her shoulders and was holding her close. He was not sure if at any moment that bionic arm would not come back and shatter a few ribs, but he was willing to take the chance. Going back to his earlier thought, this was why he kept going and didn't simply allow himself to die. Dominique needed him to survive and he needed her. They were a team now and he would not abandon his teammate.
