The apartment was big; that was for sure. Dominic let his eyes roam around his new home with a combination of shock and awe. International Rescue went all out on their recruits, it seemed. He ran his fingers over the bare surfaces and felt elation build up in his chest. It was a blank canvas. At last, he would be able to decorate a place to his tastes, not his mother's, or his roommate's. His. A keening sound brought his attention back into the first bedroom; Joshua, despite being tired from the long journey, was now awake.

"Alright, big fella?" Dom said as he sat down on the bed.

Joshua reached out for his father, and Dominic obliged, picking the child up.

"Shall we go explore, Jak? I think we should."

They both glanced around at their surroundings with wide eyes, and Dominic encouraged Joshua's babbling as they went. They reached what Grandma had termed the Villa via the monorail and a lift, and Dom walked slowly into the largest room, whistling at the beautiful décor. He grinned as he spotted the piano in the corner.

"That's something you won't be going near, I promise you," he said to Joshua. "I can see it now: me losing this job because you got jam handprints all over what looks like a very expensive piano."

The child began squirming, and Dominic took this as an indication he wanted down from his arms. He toddled about the room, pointing and naming various objects. Dominic followed close behind. His ears perked up as the sound of powerful jet engines came from the distance, eventually roaring somewhere out of his vision before stopping altogether. I'll bet that's one of those Thunderbird craft, he thought.

"Dominic?" Grandma appeared in the doorway. "It's time for some supper. Come on down to the dining room."

Joshua walked over to the elderly woman and stared up at her. Before long, he was reaching up, and she chuckled as she obliged and picked him up.

"Gramma," he said.

"Smart kid." Emily said. "You can call me Gramma all you want." She grinned at Dominic. "I've been looking after kids for nigh on fifty years. And I can't get enough of them."

"I was never a kid person myself till this little fella came along," Dominic admitted. "But now, I love 'em."

Emily nodded, and then brushed some of Joshua's bright blond hair from his eyes.

"Well now, let's see what Gramma can get for you then, hmm?"

Dominic shook his head and grinned as he followed her down to the dining room.
