Like New Mother, Like New Daughter? (For FreshBritishSalmon)

[Pegasus]

The heavy beats were sinking into the nightclub as many young patrons had taken to the dance floor in order to get down to the strobing lights and the DJ’s music. Everyone was out on this rather busy Saturday night to let the stress of their work week fall off their shoulders, but stress could not escape one person. Kennedy Lee would be propped up at the bar like always dressed in a black leather jacket, a leopard-printed top, blue skinny jeans, and black combat boots. She seemed to be in a really bad mood right now as her iPhone was nearly up in her ear as she pulled out a few yen for another martini after finishing her umbrella drink. Kennedy then focused on her phone conversation as it seemed to be with some relative of hers.

“You only seem like you call me when you want something, Mark. Yeah? You’ve been leeching off the family for years. Mi papa deserved a much better brother than you. You should’ve went to college and made something of yourself! Fuck you. That’s low even for you to say, bastard!” Kennedy screamed as she ended the call and shoved her phone in her pocket.

“Trouble in paradise, miss?” The bartender asked as he shook up another martini order for his customer.

“My stupid uncle. He’s a known money launderer and just got out of prison. He did about 15 years and he’s a broken mess living in Brazil. Always calls my parents for money and my dad recently cut him off. Good riddance!” Kennedy replied as she crossed her arms with a huff.

“Ah, well, criminals never prosper as they say. Two lemons like always on your glass?” The bartender asked as he poured the drink in the glass.

“Thanks Ethan. You take care of me,” Kennedy replied as the bartender smiled and nodded to her walking away to attend to another customer as Kennedy rolled her drink in her hands.

It was rare for Emily to get time out of her busy schedule to go out. For most of her waking hours, she was either training for future matches against people in LAW, taking part in such matches in LAW, and on the few occasions she has a little time to go out, she most commonly is found watching other girls matches for Intel on their strategy, and a good way to defeat them should the fates will them to meet in the ring.

However, this chilly Saturday evening was a very rare one indeed. She had time off, and there was no official matches that she was genuinely interested in watching. She had contemplated staying in and watching some TV, but decided she wanted to treat herself, and headed off to the nearest nightclub to have sone time to herself, and maybe meet somebody new who she wasn't outright trying to lewd up immediately.

She put on her somewhat formal yellow shirt and black trouser combo, with open toed sandals on her feet, making it look like she was more likely to go to an office meeting that a night club, before grabbing her handbag and heading to the club. Upon her arrival, the nightclub was bustling, music was blaring out of every speaker, and the atmosphere was electric. She headed to the bar, and sat next to Kennedy, who she noticed seem to be having a rough time. While waiting for the bartender to get around to her, she turned her attention to her bar neighbour.

"You seem to be having a rough time. Had a fall out or something?" Emily said in a somewhat casual, but also polite tone, in an attempt to make bridges with the older woman. "I understand. Me and my mother used to have a load of arguments. But we loved each other so very much..." Emily said, briefly reminiscing about her late mother, before snapping back to reality.

"Oh, where are my manners. Emily Strager, member of LAW. A pleasure to meet you!" She said with a warm smile, holding her right hand out for a handshake, her fingernails adorned with a sunny yellow nail polish, which glistened like mirrors in the disco lights.

Kennedy noticed the cute blonde that sat down next to her as her handbag was set on the floor. Normally, Kennedy would brighten up at the sight of new company and potentially a new lover, but her uncle had gotten on her nerves already and she realistically just wanted to drink her heart out. However, her mother taught her better and even in her old age where bitterness could be tempting, Kennedy had to be polite. The girl didn’t do anything to her besides greet her and she could use a distraction. Kennedy turned to her new arrival and smiled warmly.

“At least you and your mother probably argued over stuff that didn’t matter like coming home late on curfew or you up all night texting a lover. I presume too much. Kennedy,” Kennedy greeted as she shook Emily’s hand firmly. “Come around here often? You’re looking perky like popcorn fresh out of the microwave. That’s a compliment. It means you are looking bright and fun.”

Emily had an innate talent of seeing someone's emotions, even if it wasn't inheritly apparent to most, and the blonde could see that something was certainly annoying the woman. But she decided against asking for details as that would mean prying into affairs she would have no reason to know about.

"We argued over many things. Some more, interesting than others" Emily replied, while the bartender came over to her for a drink. "A tequila please." She said, making her order and sliding some money over to him. "Keep the tip, they don't pay you enough here" She said as she brought her attention back to Kennedy.

"Nice to meet you Kennedy, and sadly not. I am a pretty busy person, being a LAW fighter. I train seriously, and I get picked often for matches. I'm more often seen in and around the ring than elsewhere." She admitted. "But I wouldn't change it for anything else." She said, smiling wider thanks to the compliment by the older woman.

“Strager….that name sounds familiar….eh, probably a girl I dated in the past or something. I’m old so most things fade from my memory quickly. What do you do in LAW? Pro wrestling? Lewd stuff? I don’t think I remember seeing a match of yours,” Kennedy inquired.

Strager….the name did seem familiar. Kennedy couldn’t quite put a finger on it and her mind being consumed by the effect of alcohol weren’t helping. Screw it, no use in thinking too much about it when she was on her way to the tipsy village. Ethan brought Emily her Teuila pouring a nice glass before sliding it forward and taking her money thanking her for her kindness. Kennedy took notice and playfully nudged her new friend with her right elbow.

“That was nice of you, sweetie. Ethan is desperate for some rent money and you probably made his night,” Kennedy praised.

"Well, my mother, Lucy Strager, was in the same circuit as I was, though sadly she never made it into LAW. She passed away 2 years ago, just as the sexfighting club we used to work at was effectively absorbed into LAW itself. We were both offered contracts, but then my father died, so we both had to put it on hold until we had gotten over the grief. Then a month later, my mother got into a fatal car accident. I've been a solo fighter ever since. Don't even have an agent or manager." Emily confessed, her memories coming flooding back, with her wiping away a solitary stray tear.

She took a hold of her drink before giving Ethan a thumbs up as thanks, before he went away to serve another patron. "So thats how I got here. I took time away from fighting, though I kept training, and then I joined up last year." She said, bringing Kennedy fully up to speed.

"As for what I do, well, I am a lewd fighter. Most people who know me know exactly what I am like. I have been given many nicknames, though I chose "Indomitable" as my ring name for now. Might change if I get beaten though" She remarked, hinting at her unbeaten record. "Huh, really? I have five under my belt. Maybe search my name on your phone?" Emily suggested, looking a smidgen confused.

She then proceeded to take a sip of the tequila. She normally didn't drink too much, so the drink was powerful to her, but as long as she didn't have any official fights for a few days, one or two shouldn't do anything horrible, other than send her to the land of drunk.

"Dont mention it. I have known for a while how badly treat the bartenders are. I just wish I could get down more often so I can tip them more. Alas, busy schedules are a bit of a bother to deal with, and I need to stay on my A game, in case I get matches against someone truly good at hentai, such as Rosy Reyes or Rei Tachibana" She says, knowing she could be catching their eye at this point, and the owners of LAW could easily give her one of them to truly test her mettle against the elite.

Kennedy held a hand to her heart once she heard Emily was now a solo child after her parents had passed away. She reached out instinctively to grab Emily’s hands and give her a comforting squeeze especially when she saw some tears well up.

“Damn, I’m sorry, sweetie. Well, you’re strong for moving on and staying the course. They would be proud of what you’ve accomplished I’m sure,” Kennedy started as she dug out her phone and looked up Emily’s name with varying search results. “Ah yeah, here you are. Damn, haven’t seen the gas pedal used in a hot minute! That’s a sexfight classic.”

After putting her phone away, Kennedy ordered another martini which would be her third one. Ethan shook up another drink and poured Kennedy her glass as she handed more yen to foot the bill. Ethan nodded and went to assist more customers for their orders. Kennedy then heard Emily mention Rei and Rosy as she nodded along.

“Very ambitious to challenge them, but I’m sure you can handle yourself. Reminds me of my starting days in my career. I went undefeated in developmental and quickly ascended the ranks. Before too long, I was taking on luchadors in Mexico and making history,” Kennedy explained. “In pro wrestling that is. I did sexfighting on the side.”

[FreshBritishSalmon]

Emily felt a motherly warmth from Kennedy as the older woman comforted her after the blonde revealed her past. This is the sort of thing Lucy would have done, and in some small way, Emily could see her long lost mother in Kennedy, despite the fact they looked different, as well as were not the same age.

"Its OK. I took that time off to get through them tough times. I knew trying to fight off them emotions while also competing would have been highly dangerous to my career, and LAW gratefully delayed signing my contract until I was ready" Emily replied, shuffling the seat she was sat on closer to Kennedy, before putting her arm around Kennedy's back. "Oh yeah, I feel like feet are less commonly used these days for pleasure. True, they aren't the be all, end all of eroticism but they can be highly effective, as well as humiliating!" She replied.

As Ethan slid over a third martini to Kennedy, she finishes off her own drink, leaning over the desk to put it in the sink, which conveniently was just in front of her. She then turned back to the other woman, who was putting her phone away.

"Well, I haven't personally challenged them, its more, I am preparing for the time they challenge me, or I feel like I am ready to challenge them. I know my strength, but also my own weaknesses, and I know fighters like them will eat me up for breakfast should I face then with exploitable weaknesses." Emily said, knowing full well how tough becoming a LAW belt holder would be. "I have always been a sexfighter. I dont think I would stand a chance in more traditional styles of wrestling. Pretty sure I would be ragdolled!" She said with a giggle, not out of lack of self confidence, but knowing her physical prowess isn't the best LAW has to offer.

Kennedy laughed along with Emily at the notion of her purely sticking to sexfighting rather than actually get truly physical in the ring. She drank some more before turning to Emily.

“Trying being raised in the jungle. My parents were explorers and often used a research center to monitor animals. They let me explore just beyond the borderline and most parents would be horrified that a kid my age, like 6 or 7, would be allowed around seemingly dangerous animals. However, I got along with monkeys and jaguars. I was even partially raised by a mother gorilla, but she was just a babysitter,” Kennedy explained.

Kennedy then felt Emily get closer as she was getting a bit more drunk with each sip. She took another sip and giggled a little.

“You’re hot. I definitely like younger girls. Oh shit, the drinks finally won,” Kennedy stated as she settled into her drunken state.

[FreshBritishSalmon]

It was very interesting for Emily to learn about Kennedy's past. She had never met anybody who had been raised in such a wild environment, let alone being half raised by a gorilla. She nodded along with great intrigue, taking on board her past, and thinking about how it must have been like for 6 year old Kennedy.

"That is quite the life you have lived. I suppose you must have had quite the primal upbringing" Emily says with a smile and a nod. "Quite literally a wild child then. But what I dont get is, how did you get into LAW, and what made you look into sexfighting over say, cagefighting?" Emily asks, curious as to how she even got here.

As she said that though, her drunken friend lost her war with the booze, and started to show signs of her being gone. She hoped that Kennedy could still talk to her, despite being drunk as a skunk. If all else fails, she could still natter to Ethan.
