DG was escorted to her room by Jeb and she saw Cain waiting for her. She tried to run away. Jeb held her.

"You need to do this, Princess." She huffed. "I can't do this for you, this time." He pushed her in and closed the door. She kept her distance.

"Well, Princess. You've certainly changed."

"You left, I didn't."

"Yeah I did and I am sorry for that."

"Doesn't change anything about what happened?"

"What about that guy who attacked you?"

"Upon other stuff."She inhaled quickly. "Look Cain, I'd love to hash it out with you, but do you have your knife?"

"Yeah…" He said slowly not really knowing where she was going with this.

"Cut my corset." He flipped out his blade and cut where the corset was. She inhaled as she felt her ribs go back to their normal position. The color returned to her face.

"You can't breathe in corsets?"

"Nope." She said and rifled through her closet. She changed her clothes right there to a cotton dress with no corset.

"That's really not proper." He said while shielding his eyes.

"It's nothing you've never seen before."

"But you're a princess."

"I still have the same basic structure as every other woman." She sighed. "I know we're not virgins here. I mean Jeb's here. Get a grip."

"I'm not even going to ask what that means."

"Other side reference. Well, it was good talking to you! Bye!" She said attempting to push him to the door. Note attempted. He wouldn't move. She grunted in frustration.

"Well, Princess. Me and you are going to hash it out." He looked around her room and saw the lack of color. "Where's your art?" Her eyes widened. How could he notice that?

"Princess?" He touched her arm. She withdrew and he could see that she was going to explode. Things started shaking. Her perfume exploded and filled the room with a scent that he knew DG hated.

"You ruined everything! I was all fine until you come back and then the dreams!"

"What dreams?"

"NO! You came back. I was lonely, but I wasn't making up lies at the drop of a hat. Do you know how long it took me to line up my escape route? HOURS! DAYS! WEEKS! And now your following me everywhere! And Adora keeps talking to me. I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO HER!" She said screaming in frustration.

"Adora's dead!" He yelled.

"I KNOW! All these people keep coming to me and telling me to be queen. The OZ tells me they've chosen me. I can't see my Robo-Parents, I can't see my sister in the privacy of my own room. I can't do anything!"

"They won't let you see your parents?"

"NO! AND NOW YOU TOUCH ME! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!??" She screamed at him. He grabbed her and she dug her head in his shoulder.

Jeb was standing on the other side listening to her scream. Good. It's better to get it all out than to have it all in.

"How's she doing?" Isabella came next to him. He kissed her on the lips.

"She's yelling at Dad."

"He deserves it. He left her to deal with all of it alone."

"He didn't know."

"It's your father, you can defend him." She pressed a kiss to his lips and left.

DG was bawling her eyes out and being cradled by Cain.

"It's okay, Darling. I got you."

"I know." He rubbed her back in soothing circles as she cried non-stop. He was glad she blew up at him and not someone who couldn't handle it. He maneuvered them over to the bed. He put his hat on the pillow and lay down with DG on top of him. Her face was against his neck, one hand was curled around his neck and the other wrapped around his middle. He tightened his grip around her lithe body. He dug his nose into her wavy, black hair.

"It's not fair." She whined pathetically. He chuckled deep in her ear. She smiled.

"I know it's not, sweetheart." She blushed at the term of endearment but he couldn't see it.

A few hours later, Jeb opened the door after some silence. He figured it was safe after the silence. He smiled at the sight that met his eyes. He knew it was good that he locked them in there, even for their own good. They were wrapped around each other. He tilted his head so he could find out where one started and the other began. He heard a gun cock. He turned and saw his father sleepily pull a gun on him. He smiled.

"Relax, Dad. It's just me."

"Oh."

"Yeah. I was just checking on the princess, resume your sleeping."
"I'm awake." He said drowsily. The princess shifted closer, pressing herself to him. Cain's eyes drifted closed and his breath evened out.

"Yeah. You totally don't need each other." Jeb muttered sarcastically.
