After The Bell

[Highfly]

Tina was exhausted, the 20 year old having just defended the Middleweight Championship a 4th time after winning a tournament to become the first Middleweight champion in LAW. Her body was aching and she was desperate for a shower. Tina rushed backstage, making it to the locker room and flinging her ring gear off into a gym bag before making it to the hot shower. Her body was sore and the warm water felt great. After cleaning herself off Tina had come out, taking the towel off and changing . The young champion known for posing and flaunting her body in her eye catching tiger print 2 piece attire looked much more low key outside the ring.

Tina had a pair of jean shorts on that showed plenty of leg but weren't quite "booty shorts" level high, a pair of white and pink sneakers as well as a black Pink Floyd tank top. Her short hair was kept as usual during matches. She didn't change that up as much as her 44 year old counterpart did. Tina thought back to when she lived with Alaina. Her years of top level contracts and endorsement money leading to the amazon having a large house in Japan and in the US given she did by far the most of her wrestling in those two countries. Initially both Tina and Dan lived there but Tina's title incentive and career earnings the past couple years led to her now having a small house to herself. She loved being able to stop back and train, and did miss the two twins running about although living on her own at 20 was a downright amazing feeling.

Tina wanted to get up and head to her car, but her body was aching. Instead she laid flay on her back on the bench, stretching out for a few minutes before she would even think about trying to get up.

Shortly following her title match, Black Swan had taken a few moments to shower off and try to get rid of the fatigue that filled her body, quite tired now that the adrenaline and fighting spirit had left her, admittedly down in the dumps after her loss. Still, after taking a few moments to collect herself and recover her stamina, Swan wanted to utilize the break that she had now before the tag team gauntlet match started to take care of some business that she had.

Taking a quick walk to the other locker room, Swan would slip inside with as little noise as possible, taking a look around the room before spying the woman that she was here to see. Tina Armstrong, the middleweight champ that had just defeated her moments ago by smothering Swan with her bare butt, lay on the bench in the middle of the room, stretching out as she looked to be recovering from their match. For a moment, Swan simply stood and watched her, not giving away her own presence as she stood by, admiring Tina's physique. She really was something...

Finally, after realizing she might be staring too much, Swan would quickly and quietly step towards Tina, before quickly and gently placing her hands over the champ's eyes to block her vision!

"Guess who!"

[Highfly]

Tina was nearly asleep. The bench was hardly comfortable but she was too tired to care. She groaned as she stretched out, relaxing when someone came up and covered her eyes! Tina instinctively thought she was being jumped but as she rocketed back up she realized she recognized the voice. As she stood up wearily to look over at Black Swan whom she just defeated.

"Oh! H-hey there. Umm...." This was awkward. Tina really didn't dislike Swan and in all honestly she had an attractive quality to her like she was a lot of fun to be around outside the ring. Tina mulled over her next words carefully, not really knowing what to say after she found herself in a surprise situation. "That match was something, different than I am used to but that seems to happen when I step into the ring with you huh?" Tina said with a laugh.

[ADarlingDucky]

Placing her hands quite gently over Tina's eyes, it seemed that the motion itself was enough to startle the champion, Tina's tone physique shooting upright to a seated position on the bench, before turning and taking a look at Swan. With her worries that she was about to be jumped put to rest, the champion relaxed in her posture, giving the luchadora an awkward look, perhaps thinking about the match that they had just underwent, before offering a few words to her!

"Heh, it would seem! Yeah, I figured it wouldn't exactly be your thing, kinda the reason I chose it. But I mean..." Swan said, trailing off with a slight laugh as she knew both Tina and herself knew that she didn't need to mention how the match ended.

"Well, let's just put it this way. If you did compete in matches like that, LAW had better watch out." Swan said with a giggle, giving the champ a bit of encouragement to cut loose once in a while!

[Highfly]

"Heh, I think they will be fine. I much prefer going out and fighting to show off my skill so not sure I will be in another smother battle for quite some time." Tina said

She stood up to turn to face Swan. "So why do you like them so much? You are a great wrestler and ya look good doing it if ya don't mind me saying. You have speed, a nice physique and fluid movements out there."

[ADarlingDucky]

Nodding her head as Tina spoke, Swan gave her a slightly teasing smile, before pretending to pout a bit when Tina mentioned that she wouldn't be participating in any more smother contests anytime soon!

"Awww... Hate to see all that beauty not flaunt itself." Swan teased, meaning her words but saying it so that Tina knew the luchadora was joking, fine to let her chose her own career path. What was more surprising was the very kind words that the champion directed her way, Tina's compliments causing Swan to stand a bit straighter, a red tint coming to her cheeks!

"Oh! Well, thank you... Makes me happy that you like what you see... er, not in that way." Swan stumbled over her words, a rare moment for her, before taking a breath and continuing. "As for why I do it, I think it's because that I value fun over most everything else. If I put my nose to the grindstone and got super serious, I could probably improve much faster. I could have maybe beaten you tonight. But I want to do things my way. If I don't love myself and what I do when I do this, then there's no point to doing it at all." Swan said, showcasing a rare moment of vulnerability after her loss.

[Highfly]

Tina blushed as she heard what Swan had to say. After taking I. the rest she smiled to Swan and nodded. "Growing up I had nothing. I wasn't we liked. School sucked and my parents were absentees. I had wrestling and imagining myself as finally making it at something. Hoping people would finally like me and cheer for me. Because of all that I want to be the best woman in that ring." Tina said, revealing a good bit about herself as well as what drove her to be all she could be in between the ropes.

"What... I mean, you like women right?" Tina asked sounding sheepish all of a sudden. She wasn't sure why because she had never been especially attracted to one before but she also never had much of a love life either.

[ADarlingDucky]

Smiling and nodding as Tina responded in a similarly heartfelt moment, she felt after this that she was starting to understand Tina a little better, the two of them having similar ideals, even if they went about how they did things differently from one another. Right after that though, the tigress would pose a question to Swan that happened to catch her off guard, the champion taking in interest in her sexuality, something that the busty luchadora wouldn't have expected from her!

"O-oh! Well, uh, yeah! Gals and guys and gals... er, yeah, I like women." Swan said, a slight tinge of red appearing in her face as she fumbled her words, trying to look cool and relaxed all the while.

[Highfly]

"Well, I mean ya seem super flirty in matches with women n' I just wasn't sure if it was for show of if ya just liked the ladies. I mean I kinda am in the same boat. I like everyone n' anyone. Just never really had much of a dating life. Too tomboy for the guys growing up back home in the UK and the girls seemed to not be in to other girls so I dunno." Tina said with a shrug. "Alaina is married with her twins, her nephew is kinda hot but he is totally into one of his clients at the gym. It is hard meeting interesting, decent people outside the ring when I am so busy inside trying to keep this title around my waist." Tina said, stopping as she realized she was rambling aimlessly.

[ADarlingDucky]

Smiling and nodding as Tina spoke, Swan listened intently, feeling a bit better about her stumbling over her words earlier and more importantly picking up on the fact that Tina did indeed seem interested in women, and after questioning Swan about the same thing... Swan couldn't help but feel a smile start to cover her face, the luchadora doing her best to act cool and collected, stepping up next to Tina and throwing her arm around the champion, in a friendly gesture as she teased.

"Oh yeah? I'm kinda surprised to hear that! I figured that everybody would be hitting on the champ!" Swan said with a slight giggle, poking a little fun while also secretly expressing her own interest in the tigress!
