Illyana had waited until Gambit had collected Jay's burned and bloated corpse before she decided to head toward the gym. The idea of a shower, no matter how cold the water might be, was keeping her going at the moment. She had an overwhelming need to feel clean. At least, as clean as she could in a place like this. When was the last time she'd done more than splash water on her face? The fact that she couldn't remember disturbed her.

She summoned a Stepping Disc to get to the gym. After her run-in with the zombified Wolverine the day before, she didn't want to be anywhere out in the open. And she had run around the gym enough the day she'd been six that she had a good idea of where she could end up and not be in anyone's line of sight. She skirted around the areas people were hanging out, not wanting to get in anyone's way, and headed for the showers.

Ice cold water was never fun to shower in, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been today, thanks to the heat. Still, it stung a little on her exposed skin. Illyana kept her bikini on while she showered. She didn't want to accidentally give anyone a show, and given the number of people who'd found bodies when they'd woken up, she assumed there'd be a lot of people wanting showers today. Once she'd scrubbed herself down as best she could with just her hands, she turned the water off, then stepped out of the shower-area. It was hot enough that she'd dry pretty quickly without a towel. She found a spare bench to sit on, and, plopping her jeans and shirt in a pile beside her, made herself comfortable while she waited for the water to evaporate.

It was kind of adorable, the way Andy seemed so embarrassed about being in the wrong locker room. She stifled a giggle as he turned to look at her and then turned back around almost immediately. It reminded her of Piotr. He never did feel entirely comfortable around his female colleagues when they were in costume, especially if the costume was a little revealing.

"Only perk of being taken when I was; I arrived here in a bathing suit," she said, shrugging. Not that Andy could see it with his back to her. "Means I can shower without feeling too exposed. Only downside is, suits don't dry as fast, so the jeans'll have to wait a bit." She walked over and plopped down next to him, nudging him with her elbow. "We're all out of it today, I think," she said. "Don't beat yourself up over it. It's no big deal. And I promise I won't smack you or kick the shit out of you." She grinned wickedly at him, teasing, like she would to any of the boys at home.
