A couple weeks had passed. 
Bette was keeping busy training Dana full time. There wasn’t a day she
didn’t think about Tina. She saw her in the gym all the time training with
Helena. Bette was still very hurt by Tina’s actions.

Bette was heading to the gym and as she was pulling into the
parking lot she spotted the new car Helena bought Tina. It was the only other
car in the parking lot. Bette took a deep breath and climbed out of her car and
strolled into the gym. When she was inside, she looked around until her eyes
fell onto the object of her affection. Tina was sitting on a bench hunched
over.

Bette cleared her throat walking by her. She threw over her
shoulder. “Long night?”

Tina looked up one eye black and blue the other swollen
shut. Her nose had obviously been broken and her lips had noticeable cuts.

Bette saw this and her heart fell into the pit of her
stomach. “Oh god. Tina are you okay?” She kneeled down in front of Tina. Tina
nodded wincing when she tried to smile. Bette reached out lightly touching the
cut above her swollen eye. “Tee, have you let yourself heal after every fight?”

Tina looked away and swallowed. “No.” She said in a mangled
voice. “Helena said time is money and if I’m still winning every fight then I’m
in good enough shape to fight the next one. This has been my fourth fight.”

Bette’s eyes widened. “Are you serious? Tina, you need to
heal properly or else you will have severe damage. Three fights in a two week
period is too much.” Bette felt her blood boiling. She was pissed Helena would
risk Tina’s life like this.

Tina shrugged. “Helena said herself that if I can stand on
my own two feet just fine then I can fight just fine.”

Bette shook her head angrily. “No, that is not “just fine.”
You are seriously in need of medical attention and healing time. You can’t
fight in another fight. If you do that could just be your last fight and I know
you do not want that. Hasn’t Peggy seen this?”

Tina licked her swollen lip. “Well, no. We have been
normally training after hours and did most of the training at her place.”

Bette felt a twinge of jealousy. “Did you sleep with her?”

Tina looked at Bette surprised. “What?”

Bette dropped her voice down an octave lower and emphasized
the question. “Did YOU sleep with HER?”

Tina laughed bitterly. “Bette.”

Bette’s eyes pierced into Tina’s. “Tina.”

Tina sighed. “No, of course not. I work with her plus I
don’t feel that way for her.”

Bette gave a sigh of relief breathing easy knowing she had
not slept with her enemy. She was still angry about Helena having no regards to
Tina’s health. “Tee, you need to find a new trainer. I don’t care if you don’t
choose me. Just someone who isn’t Helena because she is tearing your health
apart.”

Tina stood up and Bette followed suit. Tina turned to face
away from Bette. “I’ll take it into consideration.”

Bette nodded even though Tina could not see her. Tina went
straight into the locker rooms to go get ready to train.

Bette was putting her belongings into her locker when she
spotted Helena walking in cheerfully. Bette slammed her locker shut and began
to make her way to Helena in a fast pace. She was going in for the kill.
