I don't know what you're going to do, but I have work to do.

People dealt with things in different ways. In Mindy's case, she had continued severing people in the cafe. The hours were rough, her sleep patterns shifted, and she had told herself to take it easy after the ejecting from the Sensoriums by Overlord Zetta. Much like a bartender though, working in the kitchens meant hearing people's conversations, and that led to the topic most people were talking about: the Daligig, the former crew and the inevitable fight for the ship. This wasn't just gossip: it was legit information, and while she could skim over Howard's really long summary, it was Allenby's that hit home. Sure, she had that dumb phobia about tech that was irritating, but she was truthful.

And that meant training time had to happen. NOW.

She didn't waste any time either. Quick to the Sensoriums, Hit Girl costume on and the simulation began ten minutes after intense push ups, stretching and a little running.

She learned something in the past few weeks: the only way to really train yourself was to push, and that push had to keep going and going and make you better. So now she was back again against the Daleks, testing her ability to dodge and run and make things fall on them. Then came that duel with Aqua, where she got much, MUCH better with a blade. Then she was back to attacking SAINTS and the hark robots, making sure there were twice as many.

But the grand finale? Shadow Zetta, unstoppable, merciless, and constantly coming at her. Even in the aftermath of broken robots and a beaten Aqua, she couldn't come close to landing a hit on shadow Zetta that mattered. Yet here she was, going at it again and again, and somehow, the audience were smug looking members of the Daligig, looking like Ceasars at a lion feeding.

Oh, don't think it was only going to be bullets that Mindy hit you with. In fact, she murmured a low spell and now the demon was going to meet up with some stinging ice bullets at her face while she summoned all her speed to lnd several hard blows at her back.

Her eyes went wide as the bullets found their mark and by the time Mindy hit her back her head was in a block of ice.

Crawling along the ground in a clumsy weakened fashion and slammed her head on the ground once. Twice.

The third time it cracked right down the middle. But in her efforts to free herself she had left herself wide open, bottom pointed at Mindy and tail lashing dangerously.

And Hit girl did not miss her mark. When she was in the mood to train, that was exactly what she did, and she would find herself knocked off her feet in a matter of moments, Hit Girl on top of her, bow pointed dangerously at her throat.

The tail, of course, had done its job even as she had knocked the girl off her feet. Her shoulder was slashed, her face cut and her eyes stinging. This was, in all actuality, exactly what she had been aiming for, and part of her really didn't want this over. Somehow, she felt really excited, like her body was all tingly.

"Give up?" she asked, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The demon girl looked surprised, then amused. Then...aroused? She purred and barred her fangs glinting white and sharp in the light looking right into Mindy's eyes.

"Not while you're still having fun."

Suddenly the tail whipped sharply around Mindy's arm and yanked it to the side so if the arrow went off it would miss. Then a powerful punch from the demon girls right arm to her chest. It was wasn't full strength because she was prone and on her back but it might be enough to get some leverage.

Aroused? Crap, that caught her off guard. She was all ready to claim her win when that looked crossed demon Ruff's face, and that was more than enough to shake up her game.

The tail pulled at her already tender arm and she winced, and the follow up was just too quick to avoid. She got the hit pretty hard and staggered back.

Any other person would have probably stopped at this point. Injury was already happening and Hit Girl was both sore and reeling. Of course, a moment later, it looked as if the girl hadn't bothered to feel anything, and instead was smiling.

"Ok bitch, if that's how you wanna play it!"

And off she went in a flurry of moves, headed straight to Ruff to attack with no mercy!

Instead of charging in though, the massive red muscle girl suddenly scrambled back dodging on all fours like a cat before spinning in the dirt and lunging to meet her halfway in the flurry of strikes throwing her entire body into it to knock her off her feet. She'd take the blows one after the other but she had intentions of trying to pin Mindy with her own superior weight.

Had it just been regular Ruffnut, Hit girl would have taken her down in seconds. Heck, had it been after Morgan came in, she would eventually have taken down demon Ruffnut too. But seeing how Hit Girl was after the win with speed and strength, Ruffnut's dodge and then spring attack come off pretty effectively. It reduces her strength, and while she is still coming at Ruffnut, one could see she was getting tired.

Ruff was loving it! Every contact between them was vibrating through the simulated muscles right into her bones.

When they crashed to the ground they bounced, rolled and spun apart leaving Ruff flat on her back panting.

Suddenly the wind out of her, she was starting to feel heavy. How many hits had she recklessly accepted? There were bullets she knew that...

"I think we're winning." She panted to Mindy hearing the crowd calling out for more.

"Fuck the crowd," Hit Girl said, grinning despite how her legs were starting to shake. "You think I need an audience? I'm doing this for me and nobody else!"

Well, that was what she said, anyway. She didn't even want to pay acknowledgement to another reason she might be doing this.

She was back at Ruffnut again, hammering down hard on the demon, although now it was pretty clear that her energy was spent trying to get through the huge, muscular bulk that was her demon form.

One final strike and the form burst into flames that licked at Mindy's cheeks but didn't burn and Ruffnut was left where the demon once had been. Hoping to use that as a distraction she wrapped her lanky arms around Mindy trying to lock the smaller girls arms at her sides.

"That's why you're awesome!"

Hit girl may have been successful, but even she had her limit, and once real Ruffnut was back and locking her arms around her she actually did fall over, out of breath, her face flushed and her heart beating fast.

"Yeah, I know," she said, breathing. "What was with that look before?"

Ruff relaxed her grip and continued to pant and wheeze to catch her breath, the world shifted to a peaceful grassy field with a breeze to cool them off.

"Haven't I shown you that one before? I'm trying out different looks for the whole "Demon Overlord" thing." She was...most likely, missing the point entirely and not understanding the question.

"Not the fucking transformation, I can figure that much out!" Hit Girl said, rolling her eyes. "I'm talking about that look you gave when I was on top of you! Like you were hungry or whatever!"

Right, like Ruffnut was the ONLY one looking at demon forms.

"I gave a look?" The look on her face now was one that Mindy was very familiar with. The one she always wore when she was confused...which was often. Less these days because she was learning, but still often.

"Yeah you dumb ass, or I wouldn't have even hesitated! You mean to tell me...ah, nevermind!"

God, she was so...and she might even know exactly the answer to the question. That was why it pissed her off that Ruffnut didn't even acknowledge it!"

Ruff actually winced a little and pouted, which was something that hardly ever happened. "Geeze sorry. It's not like I can see myself. I was kinda in the moment you know? You were on top of me being all badass and tough, it was fun. I always have the must fun when I'm with you."

Ruffnut's attempt to dig herself out of whatever pit she'd fallen into with her girlfriend take 1.

Sorry Ruffnut, that was not going to fly. It was one thing to not understand something, but it was something else complete to throw Mindy off her game and not acknowledge you did it. Now she was coming at Ruffnut again in full force, swinging her now, looking deadly.

"Maybe we need to do it again!"

"The whole fight?" Ruffnut's voice held a hint of protest. Fighting was fun especially with Mindy but they both should rest for at least a few minutes. Even Ruff knew that. "What if I can't do it again? I don't even know what I did!"

"Should have thought of that before you gave me that look!" Hit Girl said, not caring how unfair she was being. Ruffnut went flying at this point, and Mindy towered over her, staff in hand. "An enemy won't give you rest, and I won't when we're Overlords either!"

Ruff let out a yelp when she was throw and a grunt when she landed.

Gazing up at Mindy towering over her she blushed hotly and a shiver raced through her when their eyes met. Then that smile again! it started in slow and shy but then be came that same look that Mindy was now fuming about.

"Promise?"

Shit. She knew what it was now, even if Ruffnut didn't have the name. But her, of all people? She hadn't thought she would actually FEEL that way without teasing someone, making them all embarrassed because it was fun. This felt...weird.

"I keep my promises," she said, and bent her legs to the floor. DAMN! It looked like all that running and fighting really did take a toll.

"You get it now?"

Ruff nodded gently, but in fact she didn't, still unaware she was making such a hungry wanting face.

"You look totally badass right now." she pointed out trying to deflect her own lack of understanding. Mindy couldn't be offended that she thought she was good looking right?

"I know what I look like," Mindy said, shaking her head. "You look like you want to go eat something really badly though, or like you want to go and start doing flips. You really have no idea what faces you make, do you?"

She was exasperated at this point, not disappointed. What the hell. It was Ruffnut, what did she expect?

Ruff sat up and began to mentally backtrack, replaying both scenes in her head. Amusingly enough her over active imagination caused both scenes to replay in thought balloons over her head so Midny saw things from Ruffnut's point of view. Mindy might be pleased to see in Ruffnut's head she's bigger, stronger, and all and all the best version of her.

Slowly the pieces began to fall into place and before the scenes reached their conclusion...Ruffnut grabbed Mindy by her collar, jerked her forward and locked lips. Much like the first time Mindy had kissed her.

Mindy chuckled lightly. This was why she didn't mind when Ruffnut lost comprehension of something: she more than made up for it with her personality and charm, and she loved her for it. Even now, doing something like this, she couldn't help but be happy to have her around.

The kiss was hard and unexpected, but Mindy kissed back, arms around her back, blood still a little in her mouth.
