*Instead of a face, the card says 'We'll kiss when we're god damn ready!'*
Jean-Luc: And that's my trick for the night, folks. I'll be here all week.
Tara A: Cute.
*She hands the card back as they both go to get changed.
Clara comes out in an outfit of a black sleeveless top, cutting off at the midriff, with tight black shorts, both with red highlights. Her gloves are fingerless and have red wriststraps and red highlights around the first set of knuckles.
Tara A is wearing her black vest with blue stripes and shorts with matching stripes. Her gloves are similar, except with blue wriststraps and no highlights at the knuckles.*
Clara: 5 minutes to warm up?
Tara A: Deal.
*Clara goes over to a mat with Jean, before performing a series of stretches.*

*Clara goes over to a mat with Jean, before performing a series of stretches.*
*Jean tries not to watch to avidly.*
Jean: So... what's with the black and red? Or is it just because you can't see the blood of your victims on it easily?
*He smiles, laying on his back and looking up at the ceiling.*
Jean: Belle, you know I'm hopin' against the odds!
*He smiles as he jumps up on to the side of the ring and hangs on the ropes.*
*She smiles at him as Tara A gets into a fighting stance.
They both start circling, before rushing each other, Clara ducking beneath a punch and sending a fierce right hook into Tara A's face, followed by a lock-up and pushing her against the ropes, jumping up and slipping her legs behind the ropes to pin Tara A there.
She specifically picked a spot next to where Jean-Luc was.*
Jean-Luc: 'Kay, Belle, now beat her and make me eat my words.
*Clara smiles before Tara A grunts and slams her down to the mat, with Clara pulling her into a close guard, pulling her arms into a guard for her face as Tara A starts punching, some getting blocked and some hitting.
Clara manages to deflect a couple of swings, grabbing Tara A's collar and throwing her to the side. The two get to their knees, fists clenched before Clara lunges at Tara A, punching her hard in the gut and face multiple times before Tara A shoves her back, tackling her down as they start wrestling on the mat.*

*Clara gets a brutal punch into Tara A's midsection, causing Tara A to gag before answering with one of her own. The two then shove each other back before circling each other, growling slightly before they lock up, tight, foreheads pressing against each other.
They switch advantages several times before Clara quickly ducks down and pushes Tara A onto her feet, where they break off and Tara fires off a middle kick, which Clara blocks with her arm before tackling her into the ropes and pinning her there again, this time punching her in the face repeatedly, grunting each time.
She drops down before Tara A lunges forward, the two locking up, trying to toss each other to the side, spinning as a result, before Tara A manages to toss her against the ropes, nearly hitting Jean-Luc.
Clara does a time-out gesture, before leaning on the ropes and panting.*

Clara: How am I doing?
Jean: Great! I'd kiss you if it wouldn't block your air stream.
*He takes off his shirt, showing some mild muscle tone, and uses it to wipe her face for her.*
Comments
*Clara smiles.*
Clara: You volunteering?
*They walk into the gym, with Tara A waiting.*
Tara A: Did you two make out in the corridor?
Clara: Just wait, Tara...

Jean, muttering, but she can still hear: A'course, bel...
*She smiles as she bends back into a bridge, before kicking her feet off the matt into a hand stand, then landing in a crouch.*
Clara: How her sister is supposed to manage that on a daily basis, I have no idea.
Okay, one more time...
*She repeats the move, a little more fluidly this time.*
Right...
*She looks at Jean-Luc, smirking mischievously.*
