After the war...(for Bare)

[Vc0m]

After the bloody affair with Wisteria Khan, Clara didn't even shower. She quickly got changed and asked around the backstage area as to where was Wisteria taken. With the trust she built up with the LAW crew workers, she easily got the address, getting to her car and drove into the night.

Clara would dash into the hospital, and head towards the central desk:

"I...I need to check on Wisteria Khan...", Clara would say...as the lady at the front desk gave a confused expression. She still did a search in the database, but she shook her head. There was no woman under that name in the hospital.

The Brit was stumped. She could only find the name "Wisteria Khan" as the woman's identifier. She could describe her, but a hospital would definitely find it suspicious. She actually had no way to know Wisteria's real name...

"We are looking for Sheena Akan. Sorry, she is our co-worker, and she uses an alias in the ring..."

Clara turned around:

"Chika?!"

The Raven Knight stood with Clara, the Brit completely shocked at her friend being here:

"What are you..."

"I was worried about the match, and after it's end I was scared for both you and Wisteria. I had a feeling you'd want to check on her.", Chika explained with a smile, knowing that Clara was a noble soul to check on a potentially hurt foe after a match:

"So yes, we are looking for Sheena Akan...", Chika explained again at the front desk, the woman nodding, and quickly finding that she was on the second floor of the hospital.

Clara and Chika took the stairs...before something bothered Clara:

"How...did you find her name?"

"I usually research my opponents after losing to them to get them to more fights later. She is regularly seen hanging out with Kyoko Akan, and after doing some research, I found that she is her cousin"

"Kyoko Akan...", Clara said, with a grim tone, right as the duo made their way to the second floor:

"Not a fan?"

"She...hurt a friend of mine, to the point of her taking a hiatus from wrestling...Lya Eon...", Clara would explain.

"I recall something about that, from a few years ago...", Chika nodded: "But I hope you are not..."

"No...no. I am not the sort to be mad at loved ones of the people I dislike.", Clara would explain, as they finally arrived to Sheena's room, and opened the door...

[Bare]

Sheena groaned softly after sipping some water and laying back in her bed, a dour look on her still bruised face, a bandage wrapped around her head where she was split open from Clara's finisher. Really Sheena had only woken up about fifteen minutes ago and naturally the first thing she did was go to find out the result of her match and the fact she lost..

Casting a look at her phone which had at least ten messages on it, as well as more than a couple of missed calls. No doubt a combination of her relatives, probably mostly Touka and Kyoko if she were to guess, but Sheena didn't quite have the heart to try and answer them just yet.

After all she was so so close to winning that qualifier, only a few more seconds and she could have done it. But in the end she failed. Though it wasn't as if Sheena held any bad feelings for Clara, she was only doing what Sheena herself wanted to do, but still Sheena couldn't help but beat herself up about that catastrophic loss....

Breaking out from her dejected stupor though Sheena would look up as her door opened. 'Oh god if this is Kyoko I may just die.' Sheena thought to herself, knowing how her overprotective cousin could be..

Instead however Sheena was treated with the view of not one but two former opponents. One of which being the one to send her here. "Chika Senpai? Clara Senpai? what are you two doing here?" Sheena asked curiously, not sure why the two women had come here, but not opposed to it. Really she was just... confused.

[Vc0m]

As Clara and Chika entered, Sheena was okay…bandaged up, but okay. Clara sighed in relief as she addressed them, Clara approaching the bed with her former opponent on it:

”Hi…um…I…I am so sorry that this happened. I didn’t want to slam you onto chairs. I just came here to make sure you weren’t hurt…”

”I’m here just to make sure both of you are fine after the bout. I know Clara can be off about deathmatches, but I felt you were going to be fine. From our match together, I know you are tough.”, Chika would say with a confident smile.

[Bare]

As Clara and Chika entered the room Sheena's surprised face would grow more as the two explained why they were here. Clara to apologize and Chika to make sure both were fine, though the unexpected praise from one of the wrestlers she looked up too also made Sheena blush softly.

"R-Really its ok Clara." Sheena said, dropping the honorifics for now for ease, though she cursed the slight stutter that entered her voice before turning to Chika. "A-And thank you as well Chika." Sheena said before turning to look between both woman and then dropping her head slightly.

"Although if anyone should apologize it's me for being weak..." Sheena said before looking back up at Clara. "You were in control of so much of that match, and the way you won was well executed and well within the parameters of the match, really you have nothing to be sorry about. If anything you should be proud." Sheena said, clearly able to tell Clara was torn up about the match, ironic given she won, and Sheena definitely wanted to put a stop to that given how high profile it was. A win should be a win so long as it was done within the rules of the match. Though it remained to be seen if thats what Clara would pick up on from Sheena or not.

[Vc0m]

Clara shook her head: "I...I don't feel proud, Wisteria... I can't feel proud winning after injuring an opponent in a match...", Clara would explain: "You were far from weak...if I wasn't careful, the match could've ended the same way as Chika's match.", Clara would explain. "I really hope you get other Apex matches..."

Chika could see Clara was still unsure:

"Oh, lighten up, you two! You are hurting after a match, so what? As long as you threw everything you could at each other, who cares about injuries! And even if you didn't...get a rematch!"

Clara would simply let out a thinking: "Hmmmm..."

"And if you won't get a rematch, Clara... I'll gladly get one with you, Wisteria!", Chika would proudly declare!

[Bare]

Sheena would blink at Clara. Surprised by her reaction. Given her family and overall record, she was surprised at how... ashamed she seemed about an injury occurring to her opponent. Granted Sheena would feel bad as well, but not to the level Clara seemed too. It was quite puzzling.

Though Chika picked up on this rather quickly as she cut in and got on both the girls for their respective negative feelings on the match, only to say that if either felt off than to get a rematch. Something that was already on Sheena's mind. But then Chika took it further, saying she wanted a rematch with her as well.

Something that unfortunately made Sheena blush softly and look away. After all, Chika was one of the people she looked up too when training. Defeating her in the Last Woman Standing tournament was a personal highlight of her life, but now for the woman to say SHE wanted a rematch? Well it was a lot to take in.

Swallowing the lump that formed in her throat though Sheena would look up at Clara and Chika respectively after calming down. "Well... For what its worth... I'd gladly take either of you on again. In any match." Sheena said, directing the last half of that statement more towards Clara, as if to say she was fine with taking the Gaster on in another hardcore match.

[Vc0m]

Chika almost giggled as Wisteria turned away from her statement: "What's wrong? Shy about me potentially kicking your butt?", the Raven Knight joked, before Sheena replied to the duo, Clara nodding at her statement:

"Y-yes...but next time, let's maybe just do a standard match...", she told the purplenette, before Chika lightly grabbed her friend's arm:

"We just came to see you are ok, so we won't worry you too much. Heal up, and get back into the ring soon, Khan-san...we will be waiting...", she would say with a smile, Clara nodding a final time with a little wave, with both women taking their leave...

[Bare]

Hearing the challenging words of Chika Sheena would just smirk at the woman. "Heh not at all. I'm looking to go 2 and 0 in fact." She shot right back before frowning slightly at Clara's words but nodding. That would have to be a conversation for another time.

Still it seemed that had been the only words needing to be exchanged between the women, and so Clara and Chika were ready to take their leave. "I'll be ready to face you both in the mat, and win." Sheena said with confidence before laying back in bed, sighing and already getting herself ready for the bouts to come.
