Gabriel was in her dressing room, sitting on her stool and gently sliding one of her delicate, long, yet dangerous legs into one of her boots.

She always manages to prepare in 2 hours for each match and is grateful that LAW has 1 match per episode night, so she has more time for herself, besides the fact that she can make every match unforgettable for her opponents.

The interesting thing for her is that, this time, the notice that she had a match not only came with the name of her opponent and a picture of her appearance, but also with a block of information about her.

Once the queen had put on her boots, she stood up and took the folder on her vanity and then took her couch. The feisty maiden crossed her legs slowly, there was no one to surprise, but she liked to keep her dainty even behind closed doors, and then opened the folder to study her prey.

The blonde bit a fingernail as she smiled somewhat enamoured by the kind of tenacious fighter Lucy is. Her smirk was the same kind of smirk you'd find on a dangerous woman who fantasizes and plots everything she's going to do to a woman as foolish as Freya. Gabriel is going to love to make them love her.

There was three knocks on her door, "Is she ready yet, Gabriel?" Said a female voice on the other side.

The blonde wrestler answered in a serene tone as regal as the gimmick that preceded it.

"I'll be right out, sweetheart." She whispered, getting up, though never taking her eyes off Lucy's pic. The brit had many amusing plans to try with her...

15 minutes later, from the gorilla position.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcoming the first, the Royal Viper of England! The diva who comes to do nothing but have fun! With and for you, the beautiful queen regent of the Gart's Pub faction: Gabriel Vinlee!"

To the roar and cheers of the crowd along with the pounding beats of the thrilling chorus of her musical entrance, the wrestling model walked across the entrance to the top ramp as if it were her catwalk, strolling with her arms in the air and waving her hands to herself as if she was asking the stands for more, advancing with a delightful swagger of her hips until she was in full view of all observers. She paused to take the dorsal of one hand to the belt of her skirt, while leaning forward to throw a side-to-side flying kiss, stoking the world to attract more of that delicious excitement, and that pretentious gesture was going to be all they would get from her. The queen had no plans to shake anyone's protruding hands above the barricade.

It was a cruel gesture, many wanted to complete their support for her by getting a touch of her hands, and the bastard grin she had showed she enjoyed being so ruthless; but that was her way, many knew that, and many enjoyed that mischievous indifference just because it showed how intentional it was.

The First Queen climbed up the ring steps, crossed the ropes, and made her way to the far corner to settle her soft bottom on the middle turnbuckle. She gave no more fanfare, just stuck her bright green gaze into the ring.

Her corner was supposed to be opposite that one, but Gabriel wanted to admire her opponent's entrance and give her her piercing stare of interest from the start, and the announcer and referee let her pass so as not to make her uncomfortable.

Now it was time to call the other protagonist of this match.

Gabriel Vinlee

[B.Lemme]

Lucy stood looking at herself in the mirror. She was sporting one of her classic style outfits. A simple tube top, short skirt, thigh highs, and a sleeveless cropped jacket. As per usual, it showed off plenty of skin and was capped off by her signature pigtails for her golden hair.

Spoiler

While the outfit was familiar, Lucy was feeling something different. So far in her LAW career, she'd been pretty well handled by every opponent she'd faced. Losing and being a jobber was nothing new, but Lucy had started to feel she wanted more from herself in the ring. Rebecca had tried to coach her, and now she had been noticed by Aoi who even offered to train her. Something had stirred in Lucy as she began wanting more from herself in the ring.

For the first time in forever, Lucy actually did a little research on her opponent. Lucy usually just went into each match with a name and tried to figure it out as she went always telling herself "As long as the crowd's happy that's what matters!" However, was Lucy really happy being destroyed and often stripped in the middle of the ring? Sure the crowd loved it, at least for the most part. Lucy felt strong sense of drive to begin making a turn around. Making the crowd happy, but not at the expense of her own enjoyment of the sport.

"Time to make your way down Lucy!" Lucy came back to her senses at the sudden knock. "Right! I'm coming!" Lucy came out of the locker room and made her way to entrance. She could hear her opponent's music playing. Actually getting fairly nervous as the time for her entrance came before suddenly the cheers died and her music blared across the arena. Some of those nerves were relieved momentarily.

Spoiler

As she skipped out into view of the crowd, she was once again greeted by a multitude of cheers. She stood for a moment one arm in the air taking in the atmosphere and ready to give this match her all. She skipped down the ramp with a beaming smile before sliding under the ropes and popping onto the turnbuckle. The blonde would remove her jacket and toss it to the crowd before hopping and down and making her way over to her opponent who's gaze seemed to never leave her.

"Hi I'm Lucy! You must me Gabriel! Let's have a great match!" Lucy would extend her hand as she had done to many opponents before.

[Hagen-Autem]

Gabriel hadn't missed anything of her opponent's entrance, Lucy was as radiant and pompous as any good-hearted cheerleader would be, and it thrilled her.

It was sweet to see someone who was as much eye candy in body, personality, and optimism. In every sense a candy that the queen wants to crunch between her teeth to know its true flavour.

Gabriel watched her approach. No one seemed to mind the fact that Gabriel was in the wrong corner, maybe Lucy wanted to tell her that after greeting her, although that awkward instance seemed like it would never come because of the good vibe the goodie blonde was emanating. Therefore, when Lucy stood in front of her and held out her hand, the queen gave her a half-smile to play hard to get, averting her eyes from right to left, ignoring Lucy's hand.

"Well..." Gabriel continued its roll with her neck, dropping her head over her left shoulder, and didn't comment further, hoping her half smile said it all - She wanted to have fun with Andersen, and someone had to take the role of nasty. Besides, Andersen was very good and someone has to contrast it to make it stand out more.

Also, being bad is a good way to make a friendly match competitive. And Gabriel was eager to give her all against their opponent, but being the way she is was her way of disguising it and showing that she has no such ominous intentions apart from wanting to get the better of her opponent in order to eat it up. But this is already a lot of Gabriel's thoughts and it's not worth planning so deeply without some action in between.

now she wanted to be present in her opponent's mind, so, when the snake felt that she had ignored Lucy's hand to the point of discomfort, she shook it, and in the most sincere and intoned way she could, she said to her:

"I really hope so. You don't know how much I want it." Then Gabriel would let go of her hand, slipping her fingers out over Lucy's palm before returned to her waiting state.

[B.Lemme]

Lucy's hand hung in the air without so much as a hint of movement from Gabriel to shake it. However, the blonde would leave it suspended as her typical smile slowly began to fade as the awkwardness of the moment grew ever larger. It seemed almost like Gabriel was afraid of Lucy or simply being bashful, but Lucy couldn't really tell one way or the other. Gabriel let the word "Well" escape her lips only to fall silent once again adding to the awkward tension.

After what seemed like an eternity, Gabriel finally took Lucy's hand. Lucy gave a sigh of relief since the awkward tension had been broken between the two.

"I hope I can give you what you're looking for!" Lucy's words quivered a little still a on edge. She did some research on Gabriel ahead of the match, but this first interaction left her feeling uneasy. Did Gabriel hate her for some reason? Did she miss a key aspect in her research? There were several questions floating in Lucy's head.

As Gabriel released her grip, Lucy would shrink back to the corner opposite from her opponent. She was a little uncertain of what would lay ahead of her, but Lucy was determined to turn her career around here. She would fight for her own enjoyment and goals. The crowd would come second.

[Hagen-Autem]

Everything Gabriel had hoped for with that squeeze, she got, and she couldn't help but feel her own heart shrink as she watched the smile on her enemy's face turn upside down in discomfort. She felt like laughing so hard, that her lips even trembled a little; fortunately for Queen, she was looking the other way with her performance. But if she had ruined the joke by laughing, nothing she would do with Lucy would carry the same weight she wanted it to. So, she quite controlled herself and just nodded indifferently at the last thing the innocent blondie said before she walked away to her corner.

Vinlee glanced at Andersen out of the corner of her eye and could sense that insecurity from this first interaction. She narrowed her eyes, savouring her nervousness and feeding it at the same time with that false wariness.

When the referee raised their hands and the timekeeper did their job by ringing the bell to start the long-awaited match, Gabriel did not delay. She stood up and slid her hand down her hips and bottom to adjust her skirt, then advanced to the centre of the ring with a few graceful steps, always looking to Lucy to let her know her intentions. She gave the American blondie a provocative half smile and then held out her arms towards her as an invitation to a clinch.

It seemed silly since no one had started throwing punches and kicks, but Gabriel felt it would be good to start slow with her opponent. And challenging her to impose her strength was that way. And hopefully, Lucy will take one of her hands first, giving Gabriel chances to surprise her with what she has planned.

[B.Lemme]

As Lucy waited for the bell it was evident she was still apprehensive at the interaction she just had with Gabriel. She began nervously messing with her top trying to get her mind back on the task in front of her. She would remove her arm sleeves and toss them out of the ring to begin stretching her arms. "What is this girl's deal?" Lucy would think to herself. She was so lost in thought she didn't realize the ref calling for the start of the match until the bell rang through her ears.

The sharp ringing of the bell snapped Lucy back to reality, but she was still much slower to react than Gabriel. The blonde had advanced forward with exceptional grace, something Lucy had never thought of an opponent before. Luckily for Lucy even though she was slow to react it seemed as though Gabriel was inviting her forward for a clinch. Given the initial interaction this standard lock up eased her nerves slightly.

Lucy would advance slowly toward Gabriel with her arms extended accepting the invitation to lock up. As their hands locked up, Lucy got her first indication that Gabriel wasn't just a pretty face. There was some quiet strength behind those looks. This would be a tough road forward to a win in this match. Nonetheless, Lucy would try and exert her own strength to try and over power Gabriel to force her back into her own corner.

[Hagen-Autem]

Gabriel made no worrying moves when her hands met the other woman's. It looked like they would have a classic test-of-strength hold without any trickery. But the audience was still waiting for something bad to happen to the Norwegian - something in Gabriel's sly, piercing eyes implied that she was planning something cruel. It's not normal for someone to stare so intently at someone else. Vinlee didn't even look like she was blinking!

However, if they had to give credit to anyone, it would be to the onlooker who noticed that Andersen gave Gabriel what she wanted to see when she took off her sleeves and began to stretch her arms before the bell rang. The blondie was nervous, bad idea to show it if you have an opponent as observant and planful as the green-eyed blonde.

Coming back to the present, Lucy began to push the First Queen towards her corner, managing to make her bend backwards with the first few thrusts; but the Brit wasn't backing down, she was calculating the force she was going to use to intimidate!

"You took your sleeves off, why?" she would press her fingers into Lucy's hand. "Didn't you like them?" she said. Then puffing out her chest, Gabriel pushed forward as if her arms were a piston each! Using much of the strength of her back and legs to assert itself over Lucy.

The public would cheer the queen as if her power was something to be praised. She struggling not to move another centimetre because she wanted to resist like an anchor to Lucy's thrusts. To keep talking.

"Don't tell me I make you nervous? Because that would be very bad. Love." Gabriel wanted no misunderstandings, she wanted to be direct here so that Lucy would know the strengths of the opponent in front of her and see her own weaknesses against Gabriel. A very cruel way to pinch the opponent's psyche. She would also want to further mark her intentions by daring to go further with a step into Lucy's personal space and leaning down to put her nose in front of the Norwegian's, without any concern for what might happen next.

[B.Lemme]

Lucy's initial push against Gabriel was promising. She was able to force the woman backward slightly which gave Lucy some confidence going forward. However, all that confidence was lost once Gabriel tightened her grip on Lucy's hands and began to speak once again. Lucy had encountered fighters that liked to talk, but never one that spoke to this frequency during a match. Gabriel's voiced seemed eerily calm as it echoed in Lucy's ear. Almost as if the girl had not expended an ounce of energy resisting Lucy.

"What?" Of all the questions during a match why this one? Lucy thought to herself. However, Lucy was a little defensive when it came to her wardrobe choices as she felt each piece played into the whole outfit. "Yeah right! I...I just didn't want them to get torn while I showed you around the ring!" Despite trying to sound confident in her answer, Lucy's stutter portrayed the exact opposite.

Gabriel's strength seemed to increase with each second as Lucy began feeling her edge in the grapple begin to diminish. "I'm not nervous! Just enough....stop talking!" Lucy was struggling to maintain an even field with Gabriel as they pressed against each other until suddenly their faces were nearly touching.

Lucy was surprised as she was suddenly staring into Gabriel's bright green eyes. Almost like emeralds they drew Lucy in as Gabriel's physical strength and aura entranced Lucy. Lucy froze. Like Medusa from the Greek lore,Gabriel had essentially turned Lucy to stone. Unable to retreat, and unable to advance.

[Hagen-Autem]

Gabriel kept those three centimeters of distance between the tip of her nose and that of her opponent. One false step and who knows what would have come next. And from the way Lucy was petrified, Gabriel could sense that the idea crossed her mind as well.

She stepped a tiny bit closer.

"You want me to take that step for you?" She suggested. Leaning her mouth to hers, suggestively. Her breath caressed Lucy's lips as a warning, but she didn't close the distance any further to take those lips with her own. Instead, Gabriel would take a step back and pull Lucy with all her strength to spin her amusingly like a spinning top, thereby throwing her companion across the ring. The queen would not let go of one of Lucy's hands as she wanted to extend out with her like in a dance step where you seek to show off your partner's grace and beauty on the dance floor in the most energetic, proud and shallow way possible

before pulling her with everything to deliver a clothesline to her chest to make it clear that this is still a bout!

[B.Lemme]

"Huhh?" Gabriel speaking once more snapped Lucy out of her trance, but she was already an open book for Gabriel to take advantage of. Before Lucy realized what was happening, Gabriel had stepped away and carried Lucy along with her. Gabriel extended her arms spinning Lucy around in some sort of dance. With Lucy's mind running rampant, she wasn't even sure what or how to counter what was happening. However, Gabriel was quick to remind Lucy of the true nature of their being together in that moment.

Gabriel hauled Lucy back in there was purpose and brute strength in the blonde's grip. Lucy accelerated quickly toward Gabriel into the waiting arm of her opponent executing a hard clothesline on Lucy sending her flat to the canvas. "Arghhhhh!" Lucy had faced some unconventional fighters before, but once again the talent at LAW continued to surprise her. This was altogether a new type of fight.

Lucy lay stunned on the mat for several moments gathering herself both physically and mentally. Gabriel had gotten into her head and taken the initiative. Lucy was keen to take it back and avoid being entranced again, but her extended time on the mat left her open to Gabriel if she chose to use the opening.
