Pain entered the room and surprise to see everyone there. Eating without her? Please, they're gonna turn fat. Though, the food did look good, and she was tempted to sit with them and eat. Then she heard muffled shouting at the door, followed by a loud bang. At first, she was wary and thought about grabbing the knife. But the shouting sounded... Familiar.

She carefully opened the door, jumped, and yelped when a head came through. “Oh, hello. Did I scare ya?”
“DOOM, THE HELL? WHAT WAS THAT?”
“Excuse my scary entry, I am not having a good day.”
“Clearly. Come on in.”
Doom closed the door and locked it. “Just saying, if someone comes through the door, I'll blast them.”

“Hmm? Well... Sure. Thanks.”

The food was nice, but Pain felt a little left out. Pain and Doom moved to the living room. “Is something wrong?”
“No? Not feeling my best day.”
Pain felt there were more layers to that.
“My name is Pain, and I'll grant pain on anyone who hurts you...”
“That's a lie, you don't have any special powers. And isn't your real name "Sam" or something?”
“C'MON! I tried.”

Doom laughed. Pain looked at her then turned her head away when Doom faced her again. Spikes-hikes~ this is awkward.

The boys chatted loudly. Pain could see them, she wanted to join them. Being with... Doom, makes her feel something. She tried to get up, but Doom stopped her. “Hey, do you really want to join them? They're probably spreading food all over themselves.” “But what do you wanna do? Sit here and stare at each other?”

Doom facepalmed. “No- okay, look.” Pain got curious, what does she mean? “I'll tell you why my day suddenly been bad.” Huh.

She sat down and Doom continued. “Don't freak out.”
“Why would I?”
Doom pulled out her left arm. “This stings like hell.”
“WHAT?!”
There was a massive cut on her arm, starting from her elbow to the bottom of her palm. “Who attacked you?” Pain asked.

“Safe to assume it was either those kidnappers you mentioned or just a bunch of kids.”
“You need help.”
“Yeah, you think?”

“Here, this will help, I think.” Pain wrapped a bandage around Doom's arm. The boys looked at her with teasing glares. She gestured them away. “Thanks.”

“Take it as a payment for letting me stay at your house for a while until I get enough money to pay my rent.” Pain grinned and suddenly she heard Plague shriek in delight. Hazard whacked the back of his head while the other two laughed. “Hug me.” Pain said suddenly, even she was surprised. “Wait, what? No! Don't hug me! Plague made me say it! He said it inaudibly!”

Doom stared at her doubtful. “You sure?”
“GAHHH, ALRIGHT!” She fell into her arms. “This is embarrassing.” “I know, right?”

Nah, scratch this. It was more like a cuddle than a hug. Either way, Plague screamed. “WOOOO! THERE'S LOVE IN MY HOUSE!” With a huge smile. “SHUT UP!” The rest said.
