When the water suddenly got hotter, Nova yelped, standing up and jumping out of the spray. She reached over and turned the water off, then walked still dripping and barely clothed out of the bathroom.
"I'm gonna go upstairs... take a real shower...." she mumbled toward the others before trudging up to her bedroom to get some clothes.
Snatching up a tank top and jeans - black, like everything else she owned - she went into the bathroom connected to her room and turned on the shower while she stripped what was left of her wet clothes off. She got in the shower, scrubbing herself raw to get the feeling of someone else's blood off of her. When she was satisfied, she got out and dried off, throwing on the new set of clothes and taking the time to dry and brush out her long dark hair and put on a little bit of makeup including her customary red lipstick.
When she was all finished, she grabbed a pair of socks from her room and slipped them on along with some shoes, remembering the mess that Parker had made of the house in his battle with Richard, and headed back downstairs.
