A calm, partly cloudy day, making it cool for once in the New York summer, which was just hot as hell with all the surrounding buildings and what not isolating the city. Another day for Dominic...of training. Not just any training, training with Sam. DUM DUM DUUUUMMMM! indeed.

Dominic had heard about Sam's training sessions and that you'd be spending the rest of the day soaking in a warm bath to ease the muscle pain received during the session. With that said, Dominic knew in his current state, he might as well just go dig his own grave because Sam was hard enough on him as it is outside of the Danger Room. Inside would be just murder. The only way he would survive was to increase his powers. He had the ability to mimic any animal's abilities...millions of animals in the world, hundreds of abilities, and yet he only had a handful of animals in his DNA. While canine senses,Spider wall crawling and jumping, and Squirrel agility and reflexes were awesome to have, there was so much more out there. One day he might just take a trip around the world to acquire different animals. Until then, he would have to make a trip to the zoo.

That was an interesting time indeed.And at the zoo, they had special exhibitions on animals native to Africa. Excellent! We all know how many deadly and messed up animals the motherland harbored. Dominic spent the whole morning sneaking around in the zoo, putting his canine senses and spider abilities to work. Since most of the animals were caged, the only way to get near them was to follow the Zoo keepers, which was not problem with the stealth of a cat, courtesy of Cammie.

All these abilities he had currently made Dominic a good person for stealth and defensive abilities. He needed some offensive ones. First cage he sneaked into the gorilla exhibit. And while the zookeeper was busy putting out food, Dominic took caution to approach one of the sleeping male silverback gorillas. One minute.. Gorilla strength acquired, and now he could toss Sam like a ragdoll. Now, where to next..

"Hey you! How did you get in here?!"

Dominic heard the Zoo keeper call out. That was great. He had been spotted. Time to bounce! And so he leaped off on his merry little way, scurrying and avoiding security as he fled the zoo and headed towards home. His ability buffet had been cut short, but there would be other days. For now he had...oh crap, he was already two hours late! Ok, he needed to pick up the pace. He got strange looks as people saw the blond dashing through the streets on all fours as he ran with the speed of a squirrel leaping and bounding, nearly causing car wrecks....stopping up for a bite to eat of acorns in a tree...

Now he was going to be 2 hours and 30 minutes late. Curse the mind of a squirrel.

When he made it back home, Dominic suited up in his training uniform and ran into the danger room huffing and puffing as he collapsed on to the floor. He closed his eyes for a second to catch his breath, to slow his heart rate. Opening them back up, he was graced with the presence of Sam standing over him authoritatively and definitely wasn't wearing a happy face. More like a "You know you done f***ed up, right?" expression. Dominic knew that face all too well. Probably because he did screw up most of the time...


"I can explain..." Dominic muttered looking back up at his brother, though his speech was some what muffled and the blond teen brought his hand to his mouth to spit out 3 acorns. He laughed nervously looking back up at Sam. "Acorn?" he offered

Tythan headed to the danger room, slowing his steps as much as possible. He'd only been here a little while, but he'd definitely heard about CS's training sessions and wasn't exactly looking forward to it. Somehow he'd been able to avoid training with him...until now. Luckily he had a little bit more control over his ability (he no longer fell down and became part of a piece of dust on the floor), but that really didn't matter much.
Supposedly he was also supposed to be training with Dominic. He'd seen him around, but had never actually talked to him. It might of just been his eyes playing tricks on him, but Tythan was pretty sure he had seen him eating acorns in a tree.
The danger room door loomed in front of him like a death sentence. He checked his watch, then remembered he had lost his watch on the road, so deciding to just hope he was on time, he stepped through the door. They were already both there and Dominic was holding acorns in his hand and collapsed on the ground. Tythan looked around desperately for a clock, and finally picked out one at the other side of the room. It looked like three fourty seven...yep it was definitely three fourty something, he was almost three hours late. But his clock in his room had said he was right on time...
Oh crap...I still haven't changed that clock from the time at home!
"....Uh....sorry i'm late..."

Practicing on his breathing exercise Sam noticed that there was something wrong in the danger room, not the fact that it was utterly quiet or the fact that there was no particular background seeing it was it’s normal rounded gray dome. What was troubling was the lack of his brother in the room. It had been two hours now and still no little brother, he didn’t bother much about scolding his brother about being late to their training simulations seeing as Sam was often late to them as well, in fact Sam showed up five minutes later than he intended to the room but using the surveillance to the danger room he realized that his brother had yet to show up as well.

Leaning forward by the start of the third hour Sam started to develop a sweat that was powerful enough to make him deem it necessary to remove his shirt, as sweat dripped down his back his attention was drawn to the Danger Room doors where his brother ran in huffing and puffing. Walking over to his brother with a look of mild annoyance Sam smiled and said, “I’ll pass on the acorn, and save the explanation for later when your getting fixed up by Doc, for you see ever minute you were late I came up with three new ways to push you to your limits, and seeing as you are a few hours late I got pretty creative!”

Thinking to himself he thought it was funny how quickly his brother could change his mood even though they haven’t know each other as long as he would have liked. It was like they had known each other for their entire lives from they way they sometimes acted. To think he was ready to give his younger brother and the student he had yet to meet a standard training session, all it took was a little mistake and it was enough to send Sam on the warpath. Both were late and both would suffer the consequences.

“Tythan is it?” Sam asked not really giving the teen much time to respond Sam blatantly said, “Seeing as your both late by a few hours mind you I decided to forgo the original training idea, I’ll be getting to know both you and my brother better during this training session,” offering both teens a small glimmer of hope he smiled and looked to Tythan and said, “Call me Sam,” waving his hand up into the air his file faded as the room started to change, the room itself became hot very hot and the ground they were standing on was replaced with sand.

The scenery of the danger room quickly changed to the desert, “three hours, that is how long you need to last,” reaching down and scuffing his brother by the clothes he was wearing Sam lifted him upright and continued, “I say jump your response should be how high,” he frowned and started to run in the sand as the hot desert sun beated down upon their backs, “and if I say keep pace with me for thirty minutes for a warm up you better be right behind me, if your not sweating after the warm up we do it again got it?” he asked his voice now in a yelling tone, not giving his brother or Tythan much time to respond Sam turned his back to them and started to run uphill in the desert sand.

Dominic secretly loathed on the inside. He pretty much knew he was screwed when he had entered the Danger Room. Why was Sam always such a hard ass? I mean...to be honest those 4 months ago he arrived and was reunited with Sam, Dom felt happy that he had his brother again and he still was alive and well. He wasn't too thrilled on the fact that Sam was being more like a drill instructor than a older brother...though sometimes the two titles can blur into each other but seriously. The two hadn't even shared a hug or better yet, Sam never mentioned anything that happened to him over the past 14 years when he was missing...

"Gah!" he grunted as he found himself being pulled from the ground and back onto his feel by Sam. Dominic stared as Sam yelled to him and the other kid who had arrived on what their training would be. Running through the desert behind him. Well that was just freaking perfect. "Another entry for FML.com...." he sighed and turned to look at the other kid. "I'm sorry you have to go through this as well, but it makes me feel better he doesn't give me special punishment because he's my older brother and he can be a dick for the fun of it. By the way, the name is Dominic. You can call me Dom tho..." he nodded before taking off behind Sam.

"Tythan." Tythan responded quickly, then headed off behind Dom. He would have liked to have given a more formal introduction, but this wasn't exactly the time for that. Especially with the potential of having to run this again if he didn't keep up. Then of course, there was the high chance that he would ramble again, and that wasn't much help either. Yep, a short introduction was fine, maybe he should try it again in the future.
Tythan then realized that he had been rambling to himself in his thoughts, and had fallen behind. Apparently this new habit wasn't about to go away any time soon, and it wasn't making things any easier. He sprinted to catch up and immediately regretted it. The running was fine, he'd had plenty of chances to run in his travelling, but that wasn't in the desert, that was on open roads in the winter, when running was really what had actually kept him warm when he had to foot it.
He made a mental note to berate himself for his rambling later, for now though, he had to just keep running.
Then he made a second mental note, to change the time on his clock and get a watch.

Thirty minutes in the blistering sun, that was all he needed thirty minutes for a decent warm up the average human would have been sweating up a storm if not dehydrated at this point even with consuming water moments before the run, the heat the constant shift from running up hill then down hill then on flat sand for half an hour was enough to make anyone sweat, even if they were an ice manipulator. The sun beat down upon his back as he slowed his pace to check and see where the other two were. Putting his hands on the back of his head Sam took several deep breaths expanding and contracting his stomach opposed to his chest like he was trained to do when he was younger. Slowly he started to catch his breath and would be ready for the next part of the training. “Alright ladies start stretching you have five minutes to catch your breath!” Sam yelled as he looked up to the computer and called out for another change of scenery.

The sun dimmed down till the desert they were in became dark and now cold forty five degrees was the normal temperature now as Sam sat down on the ground and started to stretch, “ You guys sweating yet?” Sam asked putting one leg over the other and stretching out his back for the next part of the training. “Cause if not we can just as easily start running again, the next part of the training is only going to get harder!” Sam said with a smug grin as he stretched the other side his back, “ Think you guys are going to start coming to my sessions on time?” Sam asked now jumping to his feet looked out into the distance while stretching his arm.

If it wasn’t for his mutation he would have been shivering by now and his body would have tensed up. But luckily for him his body could handle cold temperatures, his brothers and Tythan’s however couldn’t which is why he picked the training. Knowing that they were going to get more of a work out than he would Sam grinned and started to explain the next part of the training. “The next part of training is trying to pin me, but the kicker is your going to have to catch me, Dom you can use any form of your mutation you’d like, Tythan seeing as yours is less physical than Dom’s you can use a Bo Staff” Sam held his hand over the sand as a Bo Staff made of wood shot up from the ground, it was the danger room after all and Sam was currently in charge of there training. “Now as you try to pin me I’ll be asking you questions like I stated before and I’ll expect an answer, however if you don’t keep your guard up,” Sam tossed the six foot bow staff Tythan’s way and continued, “I’ll hit you… hard!”

Taking a few steps back Sam took a deep breath and iced his chest over his arms, legs and head remained unfrozen as he got into a fighting stance. Bending his legs and breathing calmly in the cold desert night air Sam said, “You have two hours and twenty five minutes every half hour you fail to pin me it’ll get colder and I’ll use more and more of my mutation which will make it more and more difficult,” grinning slyly Sam said, “Start when your ready just remember I hit back!”

Dominic was exhausted, every move he made, his muscles ached and his eyes were stinging from the down pour of sweat coming over his face. Though he managed to endure....barely.He had managed to keep his body a bit cooler by panting like a dog. Once Sam had stopped, Dominic collapsed to his knees for his 5 minutes to catch his breath. This wasn't training, it was child abuse...or teenager abuse...whatever. Dominic was still a minor, and Sam being his legal guardian now should so be thrown into jail for doing this. And then he had the nerve to call him a lady. Just because Dominic watched the DIY channel, had a subscription to Martha Stewart's magazine and watched Oprah did not make him a woman!

...Don't judge him.

“ You guys sweating yet?” Sam asked putting one leg over the other and stretching out his back for the next part of the training. “Cause if not we can just as easily start running again, the next part of the training is only going to get harder!” Sam said with a smug grin as he stretched the other side his back, “ Think you guys are going to start coming to my sessions on time?”

Dominic glared back. The more sensitive of the Johnson brothers was beginning to lose all empathy while subconsciously, the more feral mindset of his mutation started to show and the 16 year old let out a small growl. His growling turned into shivering as the temperature dropped. Yeah, Sam was being an uber dick today. He gave Dominic and Tythan the task of pinning him down. Not a problem as all, especially with his new gorilla strength.

"You're gonna regret that decision! Don't think you can keep pushing me around like I'm nothing! You better pray I don't pin you down BECAUSE I WILL BASH YOUR F***ING FACE IN! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" " All exhaustion and shivering was put aside as the young mutant found himself driven on rage. He really was sick and tired of being pushed around. Being taken for granted for his compassionate nature. There was a reason why Dominic always avoided negative emotions at all costs to prevent his animalistic side from emerging. Well now, Sam had just open the cage and the beast was out and charging straight for Sam...

Tythan gasped desperately for air that didn't seem to exist anymore as Sam halted the deathly procession. Every part of him just wanted to merge with the cactus by him, and be perfectly cool. But he had a feeling that wouldn't help much to end this death sentence any sooner. Instead he bent over and put his hands on his knees, trying to just catch the slightest inkling of breath. 5 minutes break. The only difference was that now it was cold. At least it rejuvenated him a little bit. Still, he couldn't just stand in one place, so he started jog in place, trying to keep loose.

A new task now, pinning down CS. Sam tossed Tythan a Bo stick as his mutation wasn't exactly suited to this kind of thing.
Well, this is going to be a piece of cake, i don't even know how to use this thing. Then again, he did know how to throw it, and once it was moving, it was definitely useful in his hands. And there was also plenty of sand for his use as well. Perhaps Sam had been wrong about the use of his mutation in this case.

"You're gonna regret that decision! Don't think you can keep pushing me around like I'm nothing! You better pray I don't pin you down BECAUSE I WILL BASH YOUR F***ING FACE IN! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Dom yelled at CS. Apparently this sibling relationship wasn't quite working out so well. Dom charged at Sam, and Tythan decided to just hang back a bit, see how things were going to go, and then jump into the fray. For a second he felt as if he was in a cartoon where to characters were battling it out and the third was just sitting there watching with a bag of popcorn.
Great, now i'm hungry...

A grin touched his lips as the two younger teens looked at him, yes he was serious and he meant business. His eyes shifted from person to person, instead of focusing on one person he didn’t really focus on either one but rather he got into a fighting stance as his brother spoke, then charged him. Letting out a small chuckle as his brother charged him his eyes shifted to Tythan who didn’t really move but rather stood where he was watching.

“Aww, Dom didn’t you lean anything from our previous lessons, if it can be helped,” side stepping Dom’s charge Sam swatted the back of his brothers head with an open hand, “If your mad use it to fuel your drive, or don’t use it at all.” Sam personally didn’t like to rely to heavily on his emotions they had a tendency to come back and bite him in the rear. Emotions came and went they never stayed constant which made it hard to rely on when fighting.

Watching Tythan from the corner of his eye Sam watched his brother from a side view as Sam jumped in the cold sand trying to put some distance in between them. He knew his brothers mutation but the fact that he could have gotten some new animal qualities could only make things bad for him. Dom was fast Sam had no doubt about that, which was why he decided to even the playing field a little by using the sand to slow him down.

True Sam would slow down like the two he was training but he didn’t have a problem with compensating the lack of speed. Besides one wave of the hand and Sam could change the scenery from a cold desert night to a frozen wasteland covered in ice. At any time he could drastically change the scenario, he was in control of the exercises the only things he was concerned about was the fact that Tythan hadn’t moved yet and he wasn’t sure exactly what kind of animal abilities his brother had, those two unknowns made the scenario that much a harder for him.

Suddenly remembering the rest of the training he mentioned before Sam decided now was the time to converse with the two, “So how do you two like the mansion so far?” it was a way for the two to focus on not only pinning him but keeping there attention from their emotions, also it was a great way to instill multi tasking.

As the battle continued, and it became clear that it wasn't going to be over as soon as it seemed, Tythan figured it was time he entered into the fray. He just had to figure out the best way that he could use his ability in this situation. He could use the sand, but that couldn't really be that much worth it except to hide, unless he kicked it up, but that wouldn't do a whole lot. Then of course he could use the staff. He had more use of it, but if there was just someway he could use both. It was lingering at the back of his head. There was a way, he knew it. He had trained a little on his own, and could merge with pretty much anything if he had the time and concentration. He knew he could merge with multiple objects if they were small. That was almost easier than a large object.
Then it came to him. He knew how he could use the sand, and the staff. It was so devious so clever. Except that it wasn't really, it just felt that way.
And then Sam started talking, he asked how they liked the mansion. He was trying to get them to lose concentration or something. Well that was perfectly fine. The one thing Tythan had learned about his rambling that constantly spilled out whenever he talked, was that he hardly had to concentrate on what he said at all. It probably had something to do with the way he could also just tune people completely out.

So he started to jog over to the battle as his mouth began to talk,"I like it ok, i haven't really had a chance to meet a whole lot of people, but's that's ok, i sort of brought it upon myself. Anyway, i found this great place to write on one of the hallways, i'm not sure which hallway it is exactly, i just seem to find it whenever i need to write in it. I've been meaning to go check out the music room, i haven't played the piano in forever..." He continued on like this, while he stopped nearby to the others. If he could just maintain his focus, his plan should work out fine. First, he tossed the staff high into the air with a slight arc over Sam's head. Then he focused on the sand beneath Sam's feet, and closed his eyes. He hoped he could get it to work quickly, because if not, he was sort of a sitting duck. But sure enough he felt the familiar sensation, only a second or two after closing his eyes, of not having any senses beyond touch. He had merged with a small area of sand. And so, he could unmerge from any part of that area. And unmerging was a piece of case, he simply focused on the other side of the area that he was a part of, and he was back in the sun, just in time to catch the falling staff and swing it at Sam. It felt great that he finally had enough control to do this, even if it did take a little time. And if he missed, well, who cared, if he got out of the way fast enough, he could go right back into the sand.

Sam was able to side step Dominic's charge and even swatted the younger sibling at the back of his head. The hit caused Dominic to stumble and fall into the sand. More criticism from his big brother and even the question of how life at the mansion had been for him. Such a cocky bastard, though he had the right to be. Dominic knew his his brother was powerful in both physical strength and his mutant abilities. One of the stronger members of the X-men. To be honest, Dominic felt ripped off the the powers his X-gene gave him. His powers had it's uses but compared to being able to manipulate temperature and ice. Because of that, he felt inadequate and wanted to prove himself, but being bossed and smacked around by his more powerful brother wasn't helping at all...

Tythan used his powers merging with the sand and coming up near Sam to catch his staff and swing it at the ice elemental. A good enough distraction for Dominic who was still PO'd. Gritting his teeth he activated his jumping spider ability and leaped over behind Sam. Clasping his hands together to create a hammer fist, Dominic activated his new gorilla DNA for added strength. He let out a feral scream and swung his arms towards Sam's side to deliver a powerful blow.

Letting out a small laugh as Tythan responded to his first question in hopes that he would in fact distract him or at least enough to throw him off so he would fail. However what he wasn’t counting on was the fact that Tythan was a regular chatterbox. Dom on the other hand wasn’t responding to the question he had asked, which in his opinion was against the rules… As the staff he had given Tythan had flown over him Sam’s eyes quickly darted back down to see Tythan merge with the sand and vanish, his eyes and his neck turning to the staff that was thrown at him Sam spotted Tythan swinging the staff in his direction.

Milliseconds later he heard Dom letting out a alarming scream that cause Sam to lose his focus for a second taken aback that his brother could produce a scream like that, ”choo!” exclaimed Sam as he was nicked in the side with the staff but managed to fall back and ice his side before the oncoming strike from his brother landed in the ribs. A loud crack could be heard as his body jarred back and continued on its path from his brother.

Head over heels Sam tumbled in the sand only to get up and look down at his bare side, which was already bruised and was no longer covered in ice, ”Think you might need to tone it down Dom, I don’t want you passing out in the cold… not to mention you would have shattered my ribs if I didn’t use my mutation…” Even with the ice on his side it still hurt like hell, he wondered how dense he had to make the ice if he could eliminate the next impact from his brother all together, but then again this was a training session one for both his brother and Tythan to better themselves at and as his old master said, ”Use Every opportunity to hone your skills!

Looking to Dom then Tythan, Sam frowned slightly and pointed his finger to Dom ”You didn’t answer the question which means that for every question you don’t answer…” Sam’s breath became visible as the cold sunless desert just dropped a few degrees. ”I make the rules so you best follow Tythan’s lead and start to answer the questions!” turning his attention as rubbed his side slightly the cold sand forming between his toes now Sam looked to Tythan and said, ”How are classes going?” all the while the sands of time was working against them as the countdown continued and the room desolate landscape continued to get colder.

Well, this is just great. Sure it's nice that i don't have to focus on talking at all, but that doesn't help much when all that focus ends up dwelling on how cold it is. Tythan thought. He was shivering slightly now, and it took every ounce of will power not to just give up, lie down, and die. But he had to find the strength somewhere, he had to keep going. He had to prove himself. So, after taking a deep breath of the frigid air, he replied to Sam's question, "They're going fine i guess, i mean, it's not at all what i expected...."

Ok, so if i merged with the sand again, i'd be detached from the cold. Sure that would be fine, but i can't just sit in the sand, what's that gonna prove.

"...Well, then again, i guess i wasn't really expecting anything beyond a place with a bunch of mutants like me..."

He already knows that i could pop out anywhere, so i've lost some of the suprise, but if i can move quick enough...

"...I'm still kind of getting used to that though, being around mutants all the time and not afraid to use my power, it's really strange."

... Yes, that will work, i just have to move around fast enough that i can come in and out of the sand and throw some punches or... Could i take the staff with me when i merge??? Well, it's worth a shot.

Tythan tried to focus as best he could. He knew he wouldn't be able to merge every time, he didn't have enough control to do that yet, so he'd just have to keep moving when he wasn't merged. That was another problem, he was already so tired, he'd just have to try and hope adrenaline kicked in. He highly doubted the staff would come with him, but once again, it was worth the try.

He took another deep breath, realized that once again he'd been standing there for a while. It was a good thing the excercise was for them to pin CS, and not the other wat around. He drew every bit of focus he could and merged with the sand beneath CS's feet again. He could tell immediately that the staff hadn't come with him, but that was alright. He focused on the opposite side from where he'd been. but then realized that CS would probably expect him to come out on the farthest point from where he'd been, so instead he unmerged from what he thought was the point on CS's left.

As the cool desert night appeared again, [it turned out he was on the right side not the left, but no biggy] Tythan noticed that the staff lay right at CS's feet, so before he had a chance to notice, Tythan grabbed it and swung it straight at his shins.

”Think you might need to tone it down Dom, I don’t want you passing out in the cold… not to mention you would have shattered my ribs if I didn’t use my mutation…”

Dominic heard his brother's words and he wanted to tone it down, but it wasn't happening. It wasn't the first time the animal's mind took control. Heck just before this session, the squirrel's live for nuts was what caused him to be late and earned him this intense training in the first place. Dom could usually get a grip and take control within a few minutes, but the gorilla's raged proved to be too much and over whelmed his own mind. He felt the temperature drop and this only pissed the gorilla off more.

Another feral roar was released as Donkey Dom beat his chest and rushed towards the ice mutant. A fist was raised and smashed into Sam's chest, the other hand grabbing Sam's leg and tossing him like a rag doll a couple yards. Seeing the body bounce and land in the sand, Dominic sprinted and jumped, landing over his older sibling. Recognition of Sam as his only known flesh and blood was gone and Dominic only saw Sam as a threat that had to be killed for Dominic's own survival. The once timid and dimpled teen now had his teeth bared and a fist raised to deliver the final crushing blow to Sam's skull...

The magical disappearing reappearing Tythan continued to merge and unmerge with the sand in hopes to catch Sam off guard at one point which is exactly what he managed to do, he knew the staff was inches from his feet but for the brief moment it took Tythan to swing the staff after unmerging Sam’s focus was on his brothers who again let out a mighty snarl no longer playing by the rules and answering his questions as he was swiped in the shins with the staff Sam reared forward landing on his uninjured leg to catch the staff and freeze it making it brittle enough to break if it was to be swung again. If Tythan still held onto the staff he would defiantly feel the cold in his hand. ”Good Tythan, nice effort!”

Now looking up with a few heavy breaths Sam spotted Dom coming in with a fist strong enough to break bones. Again the chill of the ice layering his chest built up enough in hopes to cut down the blow that was now inches from his chest. Pulling his arms forward and placing them on Dom’s forearm Sam jumped off the ground and softened the blow of his younger brothers punch however despite the fact that he softened the blow his brother still managed to knock him back the ice around his chest giving way trying hard to repair it self. ”Dom Slow down!” Sam said through gritted teeth as his brother grabbed his leg and tossed him about like a toy.

Flying through the air Sam tried to catch his breath long enough so when he landed he could do it right, however the way he was thrown was fast enough so when ever he tried to balance himself out with a rotation the rotation or movement he preformed caused him to keep sailing through the air. Glad that it was sand he landed on and not concrete Sam looked up to see Dom in the air the look on his face wasn’t one he recognized before in fact it was one he only recognized on the bloodthirsty. ”Computer Rain!” Sam called out as his brother landed on him in a crouched position bringing his hands together for the finishing blow.

Reacting quickly as the clear less sky started to become covered in dark clouds that blocked out most of the stars and some of the moon, Sam brought his knee into his chest and the kicked as hard as he could in his brothers nether region. ”Sorry Dom… but I told you to relax.” Sam kicked two more times before focusing on the oncoming raindrops and rolling out from under Dom in hopes to put some more distance between them as a downpour ensued. ”Tythan change of plans, try avoiding Dom, he isn’t himself!”
