It was very safe to say X23 was incredibly bored. She didn't normally go to the gym for anything. Not that she couldn't use the extra training. She would rather keep her mind occupied with other things and she'd discovered she actually enjoyed talking to other people on the team and not just Wade even though he was her favorite person. Her

Domino was antsy from her and Logan's 'fight' and the first place she'd wanted to go was the gym. She figured not many people would be there and...well, now she had some frustration to work out on.

She was surprised a little to see Laura there. She blinked as she watched her break the bag and the sand pour out. If she wasn't so upset she probably would have laughed in good nature. Instead she went to stand beside her and admire the damage.

"Don't worry Laura. It comes out of Stryker's paycheck."

Laura looked from Domino, to the bag, to the sand on the floor, still unsure of how to react. Her hands were over her mouth as she watched the sand finally stop pouring out. Blood gushing from a wound didn't horrify her but this did.

Domino's comment however? Well, Laura reacted to that and actually started laughing, one hand over her eyes.

Domino was one of three people she'd laugh around and surprisingly this felt like something she actually needed to do.

"Oh, God. I did not expect to ...it was an accident." Whether she was talking about laughing or breaking the bag, that wasn't clear. She still retained a few of the habits from The Facility.

Despite her state, Domino was very happy to have made Laura laugh. Especially since she'd told her how uncomfortable she'd been in this area. She always loved making people happy. Especially those she was close to.

"Accidents happen. It's not you're fault the punching bag wasn't strong enough to take your hit."

She smiled a little half heatedly and shrugged out of her jacket and began to start stretching. Maybe a little exercise and release of endorphins might help her.

Laura was only now picking up on the difference in Domino and she immediately stopped laughing, watching her friend carefully. She headed to one of the closets in the gym to search for a broom or something to push the sand out of the way, grabbing an old and splintered one from the back.

"You are displeased," Laura stated as she began to sweep. Straight to business, that was her.

[alwaysthelucky1]

Dom snapped out of her thoughts when she saw Laura begin to pick up the remains of the bag. "Oh Laura I'm sorry, let me help." If she wasn't being so stupid all caught up in her problems she would have known to help her friend pick up like she should have.

She moved to get the large trash can in the corner, quickly making sure it was empty before flipping it over and holding it on its side so Laura could sweep the sand in. Her eyes glanced up at her when she noted her being 'displeased', but fell back to the sand.

"..Logan and I got into a fight." She said in barely a whisper.

[x_twenty3]

Laura was sure something horrible had occurred. Something awful that she couldn't fix for her friend and it made her uncomfortable, figetting with the handle of the broom and making it creak slightly. She relaxed her grip on it, blushing. She didn't need to break more equipment.

"You did?" Laura asked, still concerned. "A fight over what?"

[alwaysthelucky1]

Dom nodded slowly, avoiding eye contact. Her main focus right now was not to break down. She'd already done it once in front of Laura, and Wade. She wouldn't do it again in front of anyone. Especially Logan. That's part of why she'd left...

But she felt so horrible. "I honestly don't know. I think we had a misunderstanding. We were..uh."

Was she allowed to tell Laura this? Well why not. Logan was practically going to Victor for sex tips. And Laura was his 'sister' and Dom thought of her like one. She had to talk to someone anyways.

She took a deep breath and continued. "We were getting close, like, intimate close and..well..he's been really conservative about that stuff. We've only just kissed this past day. I thought it was odd that he made such a jump. Being stupid and paranoid I asked him about it. I thought maybe Victor talked him into it. He thought I was insulting Victor, but I wasn't. I was upset that Logan didn't come to be with me of his own thought and..." She sighed. "I'm an idiot."
