Backstage we catch up with Blink. Hey, just Blink? Where's Sarah? Probably left back at the hotel room to catch her breath or something. Ha! I made a stair running joke. Okay, it's not that funny, but you were thinking something else, weren't you? Alright dead time is already beginning, let's just keep this thing going, shall we? Blink is presently looking like she's on her way to someplace when a hand rests gently on her shoulder. She turns surprised to see the smiling visage of Daniel Brooks who takes this as his cue to step more so into the hall.

Daniel: You're goin' into this thing with the advantage, huh?

Blink: [size0]Wh-what?

Daniel: Huh?

Give him a moment.

Daniel: Oh...oh right. Gotta start the interview first. Yeah, knew there was a reason I was standing here.

Blink's still confused. Scary confused as she watches Daniel step around a little in place to get his head in the game and come back from...whatever is holding his thought process at bay.

Daniel: Anyway, stretcher match again? Man, you must be pretty pissed off by that, Blink.

Blink: [size0]N-no...not...not really.

Okay, so she's interviewing for her match with Lee. Another stretcher match? Did the creative team just say “screw it” when they signed this match? Just said “She looked good enough last time, let's just see it again.” or “damnit, this is the last time she foils our plans. Lee will strap her down, oh yes, strap her down nice and tight.” I don't know why it went from cartoon super villain to...whatever that was, but there we go.

Daniel: I'm just so upset myself. Lesbian Tornados, greatest team in this company, now having to fight each other.

For some reason Daniel starts crying. Blink steps a little closer wanting to calm him with a few pats on the back but he startles the Bad Girl by suddenly springing back into it.

Daniel: So with this match already something you've competed in, advantage has to be yours.

Blink: I-I'll...*hem* [size0]I'll certainly try.

She was still a little freaked out back there...but she's alright now.

Blink: [size0]Lee is an amazing competitor and a friend,

All the faces say that about one another.

Blink: [size0]I'm glad that it's him I get to face on the bigger stage. I just hope that I don't disappoint him. But I will try! L-Lady Emily wants me to sweep the block and then the tournament. Even if I have to go through Miss. Sarah. I...I...

Getting a little too excited there, aren't you? Blink's now saying things she wishes she hadn't so before any more comes out she takes a few calming breaths as Daniel begins looking around.

Daniel: So where is that chick?

Blink: [size0]Chick?

Daniel: Emily.

Blink: [size0]Um...resting. Yes, resting! Lady Emily is resting right now. I was on my way to see her to give yet another report.

Daniel: Huh. Guess that means I shouldn't be holding you up then, that it?

Blink: [size0]I'm sorry.

She says with a bow but Daniel manages to shrug it off. He had things planned, like thinking of what things he had planned so it's all cool.

Daniel: It's alright. Take 'er easy, Blink.

A wave as Blink smiles warmly watching as Daniel makes his way down the hall.

*Slap!*

Not satisfied with the first, Blink slaps herself again checking her hand. No blood as Blink appears a bit disappointed. Oh well though, she resumes her trek down toward her dressing room opening up the door ready to close it behind her when a hand presses against the door. It's Daniel again.

Daniel: Almost forgot. Got this from someone...uh, can't...huh. Toby gave it to me...says Jeff gave him to him. I know I gave it to Jeff. Then I gave it to Toby again...

So what Daniel is saying is that more hands have been on this letter than...uh...something that has a lot of hands put on it. Damn these things are so much easier when Lita's around.

Daniel: You get hurt?

He gestures toward the growing redness on Blink's cheek and she just smiles looking down at her name on the envelope.

Blink: [size0]Lady Emily.

Daniel wasn't gone that long, was he? He tries to think about it as Blink thanks him and he eventually leaves the Bad Girl to slide the note from the envelope.

Blinc,

It is uith the great regret that I look bac on how I let u down.  U and Catherine select me as the honoraree Bad Girl so that I could defend the title, and I abandon the post before I am finish.

I cannot explain uai I leave so suddenly.  It is in the best interest that I speac of the problems as little as possible.

But, uile I am departed, I learn that u lose the Tag Team titles to Siegi Sentai.  The blame is mine.  I should have been there.  I am sorry I have disappoint u.

Please, tace care of urself.  If Catherine is not back soon to help you with tag team, I uish u luck in mabe uinning the Fighting Spirit Championship.


Blink: [size0]Valiente?

I thought Blink was smarter than that!

Blink really is acting strangely today, isn't she? First she slaps herself and then tells Daniel that the redness from said slaps is from Emily Stratfield, and now this. There's something else one could question the logic of though it stands to reason that she usually doesn't have to, so why would Blink bother looking around her locker room? It's unfortunate that she doesn't though because she's not alone; there is another to paraphrase a tiny green muppet jedi master.

His attention should be focused on what's important, the pay-per-view, more specifically the matches he has there. It's the first match of the evening where he'll be joining his partner in defending their championships against a pair of dogs. Then, if they manage to get past that in one piece, they're going to be in the main event of the Violence Fetish broadcast in an equally important position, captain. They'll be captaining a team as they're trying to be the last remaining competitor left in the match, the last one standing, the one with a date with destiny.

He should be training for these matches still, rather than taking a break like he has for an hour to tend to this. His muscles could be strengthening as he lifts weights and he performs various exercises to enhance them & have them at their full potential. His mind could be sharpened further, studying strategy text and reviewing footage of his various opponents & team mates for Violence Fetish. His skills could be fine tuned by being in the ring, sparring, and trying different styles to adapt to them when he's met with them.

Blink, Summer Madison, she is the enemy; she is one of the people that's going to be standing across the ring from him. She's a woman that's created drama and turmoil in his life by her presence, by her existence, and it's been that way for months. Even going into Violence Fetish she's created some, choosing to stand against them and her refusal to fight, her decision to be an easy elimination. Nevermind her association with Sarah Twilight and what it's caused to occur, making Kamen have her join them to try to get to know her.

His glowing eyes are reflected in the vanity mirror as he stands off to the side, silent, and not purposely trying to hide. It's just that he's trained himself for so long to, it's second nature and his demeanor naturally aids his blending into the scenery. The scowl is ever present when he steps forward; trying to make his presence known while Blink's reading some letter she's been given. It's from this angle, due to the height difference, he's capable of reading it & he skims over it, not very interested in it.

PS: No, I don't think it is.

This is a voice Blink probably has no real desire to hear, considering the last time she heard it she was being choked. There is a brief but violent history with these two, Skull choking her, Skull purposely feeding her wrong information for Emily, and his general disapproval of her. If there's an exception to the every face loves each other rule, it's him, because he certainly doesn't love everybody else in FIW. Blink is merely the lucky someone that's at the very top of his most hated list, a very long list at that.

PS: We need to talk.

This doesn't sound like an offer or a suggestion, it sounds like it is an order to Blink that she must comply with. Though it's probably going to drum up some hesitation in the Bad Girl, considering again what happened the last time they spoke. However this is important, and Kamen related, otherwise he wouldn't bother wasting his time talking to somebody like Summer Madison, someone so pathetic. It's time wasted that could be better spent training for the matches that are waiting for him on that early December night a few weeks from now.

Blink: [size0]You don't think so?

She responds casually to to Skull's voice failing to put together the fact that to be quite honest he shouldn't even be in here. What if she came in to begin changing? Would he have stuck around for that? I suppose if it weren't for Daniel's interruption we might have found that out. When the realization hits her that she isn't as alone as she believes she should be, she turns finding the taller Skull leering at her. It's not frightening to her how he's looking at her, as to Blink that's just his “normal expression”, but it frightens her to be alone with him in her dressing room. Maybe she shouldn't have left Sarah in the hotel room so early, or at the very least allow her to come with. Or Catherine, why couldn't she just wait for Catherine to return? If she were here...but she isn't. She's alone now with the man she firmly believes will be the reason she exits this world one day. So she acts quickly folding up the letter and sliding it back into the envelope before reaching for what she came in here for; the signing sheet from Steele Media.

Blink: I-I'd really like to talk...

She signs her name, not even legible but at least it's her fingers grasping the pen that touches down to the paper creating lines of ink. That's all they must want and if there's question then they can view the signature happening from a multitude of camera angles. Including the all new up skirt shot. Think that camera's rolling now?

Blink: But I do have my report to give to Lady Emily.

She places both the form and pen down then begins to look around for a place to put the envelope. To her it's a special item she doesn't want to lose, like her letter of inspiration from Jaime or her Cheer Bear, so she shrugs and stuffs it inside her shirt. No time to admire the slight increase to her bust size as she turns for the door gripping the handle and pulling it open.

Blink: A-Another time perhaps?

Aw, poor Skull, Blink doesn't want to play with him. Stop her, Skull!

The Seigi Sentai's older member is patient, most of the time, and so he's able to wait for Blink to put things together. Admittedly she's one of the few people that his patience wears dangerously thin on in a very quick manner, so it isn't much help. Blink further provides evidence of why she annoys him, the way she turns around, the way she looks at him as everything hits her at once. The odor of fear that's so dominant that he can smell it from the little distance the is dividing the two most important persons in Kamen's life.

Tck, worthless.

His scowl deepens and he watches Blink fumble about in her dressing room, looking like some scared little mouse. Skull can barely contain his annoyance at having to deal with this, having to deal with her; she's so unbearable to be around. The very sight of her, her expressions, it disgusts him and it makes him want to pull away from this woman & go far away. Go to where everything makes sense, where everything is easy to multiply or divide, subtract or add to, fighting, training, the warrior's way.

Does she take him for a fool?

The masked man watches her try to leave his presence and as much as he'd like for her to, he can't let her yet. There is still a matter that needs discussing and he isn't going to let her simply walk away from the discussion, to ignore it for another day, another time. He isn't wasting time in his busy schedule to come back over here or go to wherever she is to sit down & have a conversation with her. She's currently wasting his time and this is something that's going to be rectified as soon as possible.

PS: I said...

His gloved hand's fingers slip over the smooth flesh of Blink's tender arm, clutching hold of it in a death grip. Skull pulls the Bad Girl back, closer to him and brings her around so that her eyes are staring into his glowing eyes once more. Those same glowing eyes that are growing stronger, showing the pink haired girl how much she's being a pain in his side right now. How much simpler his existence would be if he did as Blink believes he'll one day do, slip her off of the mortal coil & be rid of her.

PS: We need to talk now. Your games can wait.

Much like before Blink's showing why she's one of the few people that can get emotion to seep through the otherwise lifeless wall that is his voice. Anger is starting to find its way into his inflictions and his tone when he's talking to her, letting her know how he feels. It's curious what he means exactly by games, is that what he really sees of Emily and her training of Summer Madison as, games? Regardless, it doesn't look like he's going to let go of her arm till she vocally complies with what he wants from the woman he calls his opponent at VF.

Per her usual style, Blink refuses to fight from his grip. She could yell out for help, perhaps Daniel is still close enough that he would hear and come running. He might not be able to offer much assistance really, other than to act as a quick diversion, but isn't that all that Blink would need? But she doesn't do that either. She just eyes the Seigi Sentai member nervously afraid now of what more her actions could do her now. If she does try and run away all that it might result in is her getting hurt. Then what? Kamen Ranger confronts his partner? There's a loss of respect amongst tag team champions. Sarah tries to get back at Skull? Who knows what might happen there? Catherine's only just become a mother so she can't ask her to put herself in harms way. It's why Blink allows her arm to go limp and her head to lower toward the floor.

Blink: [size0]If you mean to speak with me about the match...it's as I've told Miss. Sarah.

She looks up meeting the glowing eyes of Skull. Is that a sense of defiance in her own eyes? It's shrouded in the fog of fear, but surely there's something new there. Speaking about Sarah seems to be strengthening her up emotionally. Pretty soon she might be willing to pull her arm free from Skull's grip. But not today as we can only expect the tiniest of baby steps from the Bad Girl.

Blink: [size0]I don't plan on fighting. I didn't join Keith's team so that I could fight you or K-Kun, and I would now never wish to make it so I choose to fight Miss. Sarah.

Tournament clearly not being of her choice. Though even if she wanted she would never ask Sarah to lose, nor would she allow herself to fall to Lee two times in a row. Just what does that say about him?

Blink: [size0]I'll take the pinfall and walk gra-ci-ous-ly to the back. That's all.

There appears a little bit of life in Blink's arm as she doesn't begin tugging, but it feels like she's working her way up to that point.

Blink: [size0]Now, I sincerely apologize for wasting your time, but please, if there's nothing else...I must report to Lady Emily.

There's that fear in her voice again, afraid of what might happen if she's late to report. Probably nothing, considering that the chances of Emily even being here are pretty small. But who knows? It could be a new training method to hide herself from cameras. Though if Blink is adamant about seeing Emily, why does she give Skull the option to have her remain here?

Skull waits for Blink to do something and it doesn't surprise him when she decides to be spineless & comply with him. It makes things easier but he'd almost rather she'd fight back, struggle, and have some self respect that maybe could help him find something positive about her. Not that he's actively trying to find something to like about her, he's already made up his mind as far as the topic of Summer Madison's concerned. Still, it would be a nice surprise and it would help him stomach showing her at least some respect when they're forced to interact with each other.

She looks at him nervously and it makes his blood flare again, she's such a pitiful creature, how could anyone see anything likeable about her? The way she looks at him, like some wild & meek animal that doesn't understand why he's doing what he's doing to her right now. She isn't stupid, he's aware of this, and it's why it's so frustrating to have to tolerate this act she puts on around everyone, including those she cares about. Like anyone is really this pure and innocent, and naive and yet is able to manipulate & lie to those close to them to please the one she serves.

Her arm is going limp in his grip and she's lowering her head submissively...and then something happens, something he doesn't entirely expect. Blink brings up one of the reasons that have brought him here, the match, and she looks at him in a way she's never looked before. If he didn't have better control of his emotions & his expressions, training his body to even eliminate most micro facial tics, he'd look shocked. There is an actual backbone, just barely, showing itself in her when she's talking to him about the match & what she intends to do at it.

Whatever surprise he has from this subtle action is dismissed by what she has to say, most of it overly emotional drivel as far as he's concerned. How can somebody live their life like this, live their career like she does, live it so violently, so emotional? She's a slave to many things, her emotions included, and it's one of her greatest weaknesses in his opinion, it's why he tries to do away with his own. Blink's proof of how dangerous emotions can be, the way they bat her around to and fro, ever sending her life into a tail spin.

It's unclear what sets it off but the scowl grows deeper somewhere between Blink's lay-out of her plan and the mention of Emily. This very well could be due to her revealing such a dishonorable plan to him, she really in spineless, no honor, no pride at all. She's just as he always saw her as, a dog, willing to roll over and play dead whenever it is needed of her, never asking any questions when she's given an order. Her loyalty is paper thin, sometimes even when it doesn't involve her master, sometimes all it takes is a pretty face to make her forget.

What a vile creature.

PS: Fine. I will make this quick then.

Blink's done a good job at making sure there's a steady hint of anger seeping through his words when Skull speaks. He leans in on the Bad Girl, so that there isn't as much height difference on the two of them when they're talking to each other. His glowing eyes are nearly on eye level with her eyes, glaring straight into them like they have been for the past few minutes they've been talking. She isn't worth the time & energy wasted arguing with, trying to convince her to do otherwise.

PS: If you believe you have any understanding of him, you know this won't fix anything, he's going to be unhappy with you. He may be a trusting idiot sometimes but he is what he is first and foremost, he's a fighter and he has a fighter's pride. If you do this, he'll see it for what it is, an insult to anyone that considers themselves a true fighter and you'll have offended him. For some reason, he doesn't hold anything against you so far...if you want to keep it that way, keep him happy, I suggest you reconsider.

Ah ha, the reason why Skull would bother talking to her about her little plan for the Cibernetico, it all makes sense now. He believes Blink's actions are going to make Kamen unhappy, and he's made it a pretty clear point that Kamen's happiness is one of the most important things to him. It's why he's tolerated Blink's continued existence, presumably both in their lives and simply her breathing & living her own life. Now she's threatened to destroy the sole reason Skull hasn't done anything about her so far, funny, he's in a roundabout way saving her from himself.

The gloved hand's fingers loosen and they slip away from Blink's tender flesh, his arm drops back down to his side. His face has the slightest of twitches to his scowl, making it almost look like he's about to snarl at the Bad Girl. She really is stupid if she thinks this is going to help anything, if this is going to make things better between Kamen and her. Maybe then the fool is going to see that she's no good, finally listening to him after months of him telling him to be cautious of her.

He turns his back to Blink, unable to stand the repulsive sight any longer and his business here is done as far as he's concerned. The Bad Girl's made up her mind, it would seem, and he isn't going to try to convince her otherwise, he simply felt she should know. It's the respectful thing to do, let somebody know they're walking into a path that'll lead directly into what they're trying their hardest to fix. Nevermind she's walking straight into a path that grants him the option of eliminating her from their lives after performing the gravest offense one can do, in Skull's eyes...

Huh?

The masked man's stopped again, standing by the door way with his gloved hand pressed against the door. His glowing eyes peer over his shoulder at her, the faintest traces of his scowl still visible in spite of his face being obscured by this position. It looks like he's, besides still angry with Blink, debating something mentally, what is going on in that sneaky mind of the tag team champion? He doesn't really want to do it, she'll probably mistake it for something more but...it'll help Kamen in a way.

PS: When I went and paid our mutual friend, Chevalier a visit...




Saint Denis, Paris, France, it's a bitter and cold night as the Phantom Skull is stationed on a roof top. It's high above the city and it's only rival is another building, one that looks like it's some kind of business building for some corporation. Skull knows better, pulling out a set of binoculars and using them to get a better look at it, a lay of the land that he's planning to invade in seconds. His glowing eyes see many things while he's checking out several of the windows, spotting the area near the top that acts as a residence.

It's while he's peering through this nifty little device that he spots the help's chamber, and it is a larger one. There isn't really anything fancy about it and it's only so big to hold the dozens of maids & butlers, and chefs that live in the chamber. The closest one to the window isn't sleeping though, this maid's sitting up on her bed, still in her uniform, and she's looking out at the night sky. Amelia is smiling softly, in a sad sort of way, as she watches the dark clouds pass by & hide stars and the moon.




PS: ...I thought you'd be interested in knowing that.

So Amelia is okay!

...This also means that Skull's aware of the little kidnap and rescue mission that went on with Blink and Kamen that night. It means he's aware that Archie had to come and help bail them out, and it also means he knows something else that happened that night. He knows that Blink's been told some things about the origins of the Kamen Ranger, and how the suit Super Kamen Ranger came into being. Is this why he looks slightly troubled when he tells her about the safety of Amelia, worried she might say something to Kamen?

Nevermind there's something else he knows, non-related to this world of cloak & dagger that the Seigi Sentai lives in. Skull knows that Kamen was led back up to Blink's hotel room that night and the two of them took this so-called relationship to the next level. An event that since then Blink's been acting strange around him and showing little motivation to be around him, spending most of her time with Sarah Twilight. This doesn't even begin to dive into the matter of how stupid he thinks Kamen is for letting Blink see other people while being with him...

Either way, he doesn't wait to see her reaction, he's pushes open the door and he's gone from her dressing room, walking down the hall. The tag team champion's already made up his mind on the matter of the Cibernetico match, and this whole business. He doesn't care about Sarah Twilight but he does care about Kamen, and it's why he's going to be running a gambit with the numbers & batting order. If he can help it, he's going to try to stay in whenever Blink's number is likely to come up, so it is him that faces her rather than Kamen or, he guesses, Twilight. It’s an effort to spare his partner from having to potentially deal with this bird brain idea that the Bad Girl's cooked up.

Even if it means he's mad at him for a while.

Speaking of Super Kamen Ranger, he's rounding the corner just as Skull's rounding the corner further down the hall. The two Seigi Sentai members are moments away from seeing each other on opposite ends of the halls, and what good timing that is. It isn't by accident that either of them is here; Skull brought them both here this evening though he had been vague on the reason for it. All Kamen knew was Skull had sent him to do laps around the backstage area as training, and he decided to take a detour.

Blink, he hadn't seen her since moments after their tag team match on Sunday, they parted ways almost immediately. Skull had matters he needed Kamen to attend to and so he had to make their goodbye short & sweet to avoid any problems with his partner. It isn't like Kamen could care less about the Cibernetico and getting the team together that they now have set up for the pay-per-view. But if given the choice between spending time with his girlfriend and that...he'd choose Summer Madison each time.

He hoped she wasn't mad at him though he knew she had company to keep her busy while he was away. Ariel and now he heard Alanya & Catherine were returning, and that's avoiding the subject of another certain someone in her life. There is the other romantic interest in Blink's love life, her girlfriend, Sarah Twilight, the girl who is now on Kamen's team at the Cibnetico. It helped him feel better, knowing she had all those people around her that cared about her, had another to love her.

Kamen's outfit for the day is a curious one, black slacks and a black button up shirt with the pink scarf from last Sunday. His mask is the custom one that allows us to see a bit of the confusion and curiosity that plays out over his face when he sees a door's open. When he draws closer to the door in question he notices that the a jarred door is the one he had been looking for, it's the Bad Girls' dressing room! It's now that he hurries closer, hearing someone, it's muffled and he can't quite make out what it is that he but as he's getting closer he recognizes the voice.

By the time he reaches the door and he swings it open, he's at a near full sprint, worried that's something wrong with Blink! Kamen's worries aren't quelled any when he looks inside and he sees Blink, on her knees on the floor and she's crying her eyes out. Instinctively he nearly dives towards her, sliding on the floor a little on his own knees when he gets close to her so that he's at the same level as her. It's only when he is about to put his arms around her to try to comfort and check on her that he realizes something seems off about the way she's crying.

SKR: Natsu-chan! Are you okay?!

His voice is a mixture of the two main emotions he's feeling right now, concern and confusion for his girlfriend. The concern from earlier is still weighing on him pretty heavily but the confusion is starting to creep up on it to replace it as the dominant emotion. ...Is she happy? Her crying, it almost sounds like laughter, like she's so happy about something or someone she's crying over it. Just what exactly is going on here?!

Blink looks up tilting her head to the side feeling a little confused over being comforted by her boyfriend. An odd expression as she pats his hand a couple of times.

Blink: [size0]I-I'm fine, K-Kun. I can be happy, can't I?

Was that a joke? Rude statement? Or serious question? It's already been discovered that Blink has a terrible sense of humour and that does sound like a bad joke. Blink isn't rude, so that rules that one out. Serious question? Knowing Blink that could be it and the way she looks afterward shows that her being happy is somehow a problem. Does she not deserve to be happy? How can she make amends to it? Maybe being told not to race around the arena a few times? That would be horrible! Blink! Why'd you have to be happy?

Blink: I'm sorry!

She exclaims before bowing her head. Her mind was so wrought with worry that she completely tuned out to anything Kamen Ranger was saying. How could she be happy when there was so much wrong going on around her? Damn selfish Blink. She knows she has no right being happy so the last bit of sobs come out as sad forms. I mean she upset the poor man with requests that he make a few orders for her to follow, now she's asking him if she can be happy?

Blink: [size0]I-It's just...just...

Blink lets out a low sigh.

Blink: [size0]Nothing.

Amelia would take far too much time to explain as one thing would have to lead into another and from there Kamen Ranger might end up feeling bad. Blink can't allow that to happen so she keeps the maid and everything that happened to her once more to herself sealing it away in her already overflowing filing cabinet of information needing to get out. What's a little more going to do? Besides, there is one final that's been left out for when she met Kamen Ranger again. One that was just left there actually. Though how to approach it? Blink can't come right out and ask, otherwise Kamen Ranger might think she's looking for another order. Hm, maybe...now, this might sound crazy, but...

Blink: [size0]K-Kun...would you hit me?

Is that a question? Because if so I think the answer is obvious. What reason would Kamen Ranger have to be abusive to his girlfriend?

Blink: [size0]Now? As I am?

On her knees and having just finished crying? Again the answer should be obvious but Blink's trying to lead somewhere. Why would she be so interested in Kamen Ranger hitting her as she is now though?

Well the confused expression and the question she poses to him confirms that she's happy, and not sad. So there is relief from learning that though it does make him wonder what's made his girlfriend so happy she's willing to cry tears of joy over it. Then again, one of Blink's natural reactions seems to be to cry over something, whether it is a good or it is a bad thing that's happened. It doesn't help him any, he's still prone to wanting to help her when he sees her crying, natural instincts & all that stuff.

He doesn't get time to say anything in response to the question, because Blink does another thing she's prone to doing, she apologizes. It's as she bows her head that he gets a very faint outline of a smile, bemused by how often he's seen her bow & apologize to him. It's good that she's okay, even better that she's so okay that she's capable of following through with her natural reactions to something. Even if he wishes he could figure out a way, without ordering her, to get her to stop apologizing & bowing so much to him, she really doesn't have to.

Nothing? Kamen cocks his head to the side and he's back to looking confused, this doesn't seem like nothing to him, if his opinion has a say in the matter. She broke down and cried out of happiness from this supposed nothing, and she's now sighing over having to explain it. It makes him wonder what this nothing is, is it Bad Girls related, Sarah Twilight related, maybe even just FIW in general related? Does she know where they're touring next after Violence Fetish and she's looking forward to it?

His thoughts don't get to linger on it for too long, let alone long enough to ask her about it, because she poses a question. It's a question that's something he never thought he'd hear come out of Blink's mouth in a million years; he could never imagine this moment. What confuses and troubles him more is how interested she seems on the question, how invested she is in it, like she is really curious about it. Does she think he would say yes or does she really not know him well enough that she thinks he might be willing to do that?

...Hit her?

SKR: ...uh...S..Natsu-chan..um..

What's all that stuff on the back of the Bad Girls' door you ask? That's the brain matter that shot out of Kamen's head when his mind was blown by the question he's been asked. It's so out of left field and it's so...weird of a question that he can't even begin to properly form an answer in his head over it. He feels like his mind's given him the blue screen of death and he now has to go about the process of rebooting it to try again. Kamen already knows his answer; he just can't believe that Blink is asking him this.

SKR: Well, first, you can be happy. I was confused is all.

The Inter-Galactic Hero is trying to work his way up and he grabs hold of Blink's shoulders, staring her in the eyes. He wants to make sure she hears him and she understands him when he tells her she can be happy, it's good for her to be happy. Now isn't the time for one of their misunderstandings, where she thinks he doesn't want her to be happy and so she tries her hardest to avoid being so. Good, good, he has her attention and he's taken care of the Easy Mode question, now it's time for him to leap straight into the You're Fucked Mode questioned.

SKR: If we were in the ring, facing each other as opponents in a friendly match, then sure...it's part of the job.

There is the first part of his answer, he smiles at her, hoping she understands that he doesn't take things personal in the ring usually. It's the heat of battle and if the two of them are booked against each other, like they are at Violence Fetish, he expects a good fight. He wouldn't go soft on her nor does he expect or want any kind of special treatment from her either when they're put in that situation. Blink is a skilled fighter, one who has challenged for the Dual Crown; he'd love to test his abilities against her again.

SKR: If you mean outside the ring...no, I don't think I could ever hit you.

It's the second part of her question that gives him some trouble and it's why he tries to specify his answer as best as he can. Kamen tilts his head downward a little and he shakes his head, almost sounding disappointed in something when he says his answer. He really is more confused & sad over having to have this discussion in the first place, and a little worried as to why she'd ask him this. Any of the scenarios he can think of as to why she'd ask him this is troubling, to say the very least about it.

SKR: ...Why ask such a thing, Natsu-chan?

When he turns the tables on her and he asks the question, he lifts his masked head back up to look at her in the face again. His voice conveys the confusion he has over being posed that question by her, being put into that awkward position by her with it. Was she under the wrong belief that he'd really abuse her outside the ring? Worst yet, does she want him to hit her and this is why she's asking, trying to get him to help her with something reckless?

Blink: [size0]I'm afraid.

Afraid? Of what? Oh, sorry. Yeah, maybe if I didn't keep interrupting...

Blink: [size0]...I-I had a thought,

That little pause was meant for Skull's name, but Blink keeps it from mention figuring that saying his name might bring out a whole new list of questions. It's a wonder Kamen Ranger hasn't noticed the markings on her arm caused by his partner, then again being with her during her time with Emily he's probably come to expect to see these things on Blink's body. She rests a hand over it ready to tell him that it was Emily who did it should he still notice and still enquire.

Blink: [size0]About changing my tactics for the match next week. But I'm frightened as I know last time we did manage to fight, and the time before. But after that, we...

Became closer friends, became more than friends, really became more than friends.

Blink: [size0]I know you won't go easy on me, I don't ask that...if that is what you want. I...I just need to know you would feel the same sense of pro-fes-sion-al-is-m...if you saw me like this in the ring.

Hm, so...

Blink: [size0]I-I really was happy! Please don't think I acted like this just to lure you inside.

At least she's courteous enough to point that little factoid out. While Blink is sweet and kind to all living things, like some fairy tale princess (just expecting the birds and deer to start following her. Though she'd probably tell them she doesn't deserve their attention), she can be a bit of a schemer and this does sound like one of her schemes. Though it isn't, not this time. She was happy Amelia is alive. Is happy. Will be happy.

Blink: [size0]You saw my speedy style, you know what happens after my speedy style. I still don't blame Cuervo Blanco for what he did, but he seems troubled ever since the match. Maybe it's the wonder of who he's facing. Who he could be facing. I don't really know. I just don't want to see you troubled like that. I want to know that you would keep up the fighting spirit even if I'm like this in the ring. It's my own weakness, I should suffer if I let someone force me into my speedy style. I don't want people thinking you're weak just because you go easy on me that one time. So...so please,

With both hands Blink grips Kamen Ranger's wrist moving it so the hand is resting gently on her cheek.

Blink: [size0]Hit me. Twice. Once for starter, and twice for certainty. If you say it's part of the job, then prove it! Hit me!

The look in Blink's eyes suggest that if Kamen Ranger doesn't hit her now then she'll hit him. Though obviously she wouldn't, it's just how she looks.

If things hadn't already been hard for him to figure out, her revealing she's afraid makes thing a whole new level of strange. To recap for his own sanity, he had come to visit his girlfriend and he heard somebody so he ran in here to make sure everything was okay. He realized it was Blink and she was crying but something seemed off, figured out it was because she was happy and crying tears of joy, not sorrow. Then she asked him if he'd hit her and now she's telling him she's afraid...he thinks he's got all that though it's alot to process.

What she says next is at least something he can make sense of, thankfully, she had a thought and that's a start. He nods when she brings up thinking of changing her tactics for the match that they're going to be in against next Sunday at Violence Fetish. It makes sense to him, very few tend to shake up their strategies, usually have a select few and thus it becomes easy to study them & grow used to what to expect. His knowledge of Blink's strategies aren't perfect though it certainly would be exciting and interesting, should they meet in the Cibernetico, if she changed it up.

It takes him a moment to understand what she's getting at when she trails off; it feels so long ago to him. That's right though, they had only been friends for not that long of a time the last time they had the right to call each other opponents in the ring. The fact that he took a liking to her, pretty much instantly, and he's prone to feeling strongly even about the most distant of friends is probably why it takes him a moment to recall. This is the first time they'll fight since....well, since they grew closer as friends and then it evolved to beyond that, way beyond that.

Thoughts about what they are now are pushed to the side when Blink has more to say on the matter to him. He's happy and relieved that she knows he won't be going easy on her in the ring, should they meet up, worrying there for a second. Almost scared she thought he might make an exception for her, seeing as she's now his girlfriend. Even if he was facing Skull in the ring he wouldn't go easy on him, then again, Skull would probably break his face if he did go easy on him.

There is less happiness and relief when she implies she hopes he'd show the same sense of professionalism if she was like this. Like this, as in...on the floor on her knees and completely defenseless like she is right now while they're talking about this? This is enough to start signs of a frown to form on his lips, he doesn't like the sound of this at all and he hopes he's misunderstanding what it is she's saying. How could she expect him to fight her in the ring if she's completely defenseless, not even putting up the faintest hint of a fight?

Once more his thoughts are side tracked when she brings up something else, something he hadn't even considered. She lets him know that she really was happy and she really was crying tears of happiness moments ago, it wasn't an attempt to lure him in here. Funny thing is, he hadn't even considered that as a possible scenario as to why she had been crying when he had neared the dressing room. Guess he really is too trusting of her for his own good sometimes; this could've been one of her schemes as she pointed out to him.

Wait, back to the more important topic, and while Kamen's head is trying not to spin from all this bouncing around of subjects, he listens. He thinks he knows what she's talking about, her speedy style, he's seen it once or twice in the brief time he's been with FIW. Blink, on her own, is a challenging opponent but when she's using that style she almost becomes another person entirely to what most know. It's like her skills are shot up with steroids and she suddenly goes from being a great fighter to being one of the best FIW has to offer in the ring.

But...wait...

Is she trying to see if he'll go easy on her, should she do what she always does at the end of her Speedy Style's sprint? Now there is a dilemma he isn't sure he can wrap his head around, it's certainly a grey area that's new area for him to explore. It's one thing for someone he's fighting to be hurt and try to fight through it & keep the match going, it's showing some effort to continue the battle. It's another thing for someone to suddenly stop fighting, become defenseless, and start crying her eyes out.

...But..she does have a point, and if he survives the Speedy Style, it would make sense to take advantage of her guard being down. He would in any other circumstance take the shot and defeat his opponent if they dropped their guard in the heat of battle.

He wouldn't just attack a defenseless person though or a person refusing to fight...

His head hurts.

The Interstellar Insect's hand is trembling when she takes hold of it by the wrist and she brings it to her face. He looks up, staring at her as there's slight trembles going through various parts of his body, already knowing what she's going to tell him. Knowing doesn't make it any easier for him to hear the words she tells him, she's almost ordering him with them to hit her twice on the face. How can she ask this of him, here, now, when they're sitting on the floor of her dressing room away from the ring?

Even if this was some type of sparring or training...he could..

Here though?

Blink's eyes have a look to them that chills him and it makes this all the harder for him to do, it's a sort of warning. The type that's threatening to hit him if he doesn't hit her, one that he's seen so many times in a pair of glowing eyes during training. Funny, in this moment, here and now, this is the closest Blink and Skull have ever been close to having something in common about them, least to Kamen. It's kind of scary and it doesn't help his attempts to fight her order, fight the mounting argument in his mind.

SKR: ...I...I c...

If someone walked by, they'd think Kamen is choking with how hard it is for him to pronounce any words. He tries but somewhere along the way they're getting caught in his throat, a throat that's become incredibly dry on him all of a sudden. Kamen shakes his head, biting his bottom lip in despair at what he's being told to do to his girlfriend, to a person he cares so much about. The thought of doing this to her, it makes him sick; it's so shameful that he can't even look at her in the eye, he has to hang his head.

SKR: ... [size0]Please...Please, don't ask this of me...

For once, it's the masked man and not the pink haired girl who is speaking softly, so softly it's little more than a whisper. His voice is strained, it sounds as much in pain as what he's feeling inside right now at the conflict he's being faced with right now in the Bad Girls dressing room. Kamen shakes his head again and his lips tremble, his voice trembles just as much as they do and he has to bite down on his lip again to stop it. Blink is someone he cares deeply about, who he'd do anything for, and she only has to give one last gentle shove to get him to break, to get him to cave & do as she asks of him...

Blink: Ha...ha ha.

It's the starting of another round of her giggles, though this set sounds almost forced. She's laughing, but it's like she doesn't quite get the joke. Still holding Kamen Ranger's wrist, Blink gives it a few jerks in order to cause his hand to lightly slap her face a couple of times playfully before letting it go as her giggles die down.

Blink: [size0]I really got you, didn't I? Ha, ha. Hit me. I know you wouldn't hit a defenceless woman...I just needed to make sure you wouldn't pull anything cheap.

She says wagging a finger in Kamen Ranger's face as though pre scolding him for taking advantage of her while she wasn't in the right mindset for fighting. It's such a shame Kamen Ranger has had trouble reading Blink in the past, otherwise he would've known now how she truly felt, how there was no change in mindset between the way she is now and the way she was a few minutes ago. She leans a little forward on her way back up to her feet reaching a hand out, stalls, shrugs, then pats her boyfriends head while smiling.

Blink: [size0]You're so cute and naive sometimes, K-Kun.

Isn't that what people tell her? She lets out a big stretch upon rising to her feet not just in her back and arms but her legs as well.

Blink: [size0]Anyway, Lady Emily asked me to run the arena a few times. You're welcome to tag along, if you like. That is if you don't think it's weird that opponents would train together. Though if you could...I'd really like to show you something.

In effort to warm herself up for this jog, Blink begins bounding in place before heading for the doorway to head out. She pauses just as her hand gets to the already opened door. It slides down and soon she's looking over her shoulder at her boyfriend no longer smiling.

Blink: [size0]I'm really sorry for hurting you, K-Kun. Sometimes I get a little carried away with some of the ideas and plans that I have. I promise I'll try not to let my emotions get the better of me like that again.

Guess what she does next. You don't have to guess, do you? She turns around! Because...she's still facing toward the hall. Then she bows. Otherwise she'd just be giving Kamen Ranger a perfect upskirt view, wouldn't she?

Blink: [size0]If it's alright with you, I think I'll just keep up with my original tactics.

Sounds better than it actually is, let's see if he's been paying attention to her. I bet he hasn't. I bet he's like “Blink? Yeah, had sex with her. Now to Sarah.” Yeah, that's totally him right there. Blink straightens from her bow offering yet another quick little smile his way.

Blink: [size0]So what about you guys?

She asks both curiously and playfully knowing that even she isn't going to get the answer to her question.

Blink: [size0]How is your team fairing, captain?

She says as though actually trying to make him blush over the title. It is what she wants him to do after all. Blush, forget, same old-same old.

Blink: [size0] Anything I should be looking out for?

Yeah, a giant Russian wanting to snap your spine. But you've dealt on that before. With more than one Russian. Seriously, Blink, what is it with you and Russia?

The giggling brings Kamen's head back up and he's looking at her like she's suddenly burst into song & dance. Why is she giggling at a time like this, with how he's feeling, with what she's asked of him, what could possibly be worth giggling over? He's almost offended she's laughing; it almost feels like she's teasing him for feeling as strongly as he does about what she's asked of him. If he wasn't so confused by this turn of events, he might say something about this and really take a stand on this.

She has his hand slap her a few times playfully and she explains, this whole thing she put him through was another joke. He knows he hasn't been the best at reading her, partially because he cares about and trusts her so much that it usually blinds him to that. But he's gotten some understanding of how she jokes and he does have an understanding to some degree of how she is, and what's natural to her. This...doesn't seem natural, it almost seems forced if he didn't know any better and it leaves him wondering why the sudden change in tune.

What is she hiding?

...Maybe he doesn't know her as well as he thinks, maybe she really is joking.

Maybe his head isn't on straight from all of this.

Maybe he should just stop thinking about this so much.

Blink's wag of the finger makes him feel embarrassed a little over how emotional he got about this, if it really is a joke. He looks down at his lap and he fidgets a little, his fingers playing with themselves, poking at each other as they are. It makes him feel all the more bashful when he feels something press against the top of his mask, realizing it's her hand. Usually he'd welcome a pat on the head from his girlfriend, with this situation though it makes him feel all the more silly.

Her, sorta, compliment makes the faintest traces of pink start to show on his face when he looks up at her. It is nice to hear your girlfriend tell you you're cute, it's also nice to see said girlfriend stretching, reminding you how flexible she is. Lucky for Blink, Kamen's mind isn't usually a very perverse place; otherwise he might've started to think about that night. The night the two shared in her hotel room where they did things that are most certainly not PG friendly, or even PG-13 friendly.

SKR: Thank you.

He bows his head a little while he gets to his feet and he thanks her for the compliment, trying to be respectful about it. His attention is turned away from it though once he's on his feet and she brings up Emily Stratfield & her training for the match. Wait, Lady Emily, as in Lady Emily Lady Emily, as in Lady Emily Emily Stratfield, as in the Lady Emily that Blink told him dismissed her? If we could see underneath the mask we'd know he's blinking a few times, trying to wrap his head around that. When did that change again?

SKR: Sure, I'd love to go for a jog with you.

Violence Fetish is when the two of them are going to be opponents, till then Kamen sees them as boyfriend and girlfriend, best buds. He sees no harm in jogging with his girlfriend, even if she's a future opponent, it's only a jog afterall that they're going on. It isn't like just because they're opponents this coming week they're suddenly supposed to keep their distance from each other at all times. They didn't do that before and he doubts they'd do it now or ever again, should they be opponents in the future sometime.

SKR: It's okay, Natsu-chan. I shouldn't have taken it so seriously.

He shakes his head when she jogs off to the door and then stops, taking a moment to apologize to him. Kamen gives a small bow to her and he smiles at her, explaining that everything's okay now and she shouldn't worry about it. Maybe it was a joke in poor taste, there's certainly an argument that could be made for that in his opinion. But also he feels there's a pretty strong argument that he shouldn't have allowed himself to get so worked up about it and get so upset.

Guess they both will have to work on their emotions.

The Bad Girl's statement that she's going with her original tactics is one that gets a shrug and a nod from him. He isn't sure what those tactics are, partially because he's in the dark about what the majority of this has been about really for Blink. Though he figures it's probably similar to what she usually does in the ring, and if that's the case, it's fine by him. It'll be a challenge and it's something to look forward to, if nothing else, about the main event at Violence Fetish he's taking part in.

He does however perk up when she asks about them and their tactics for the match at Violence Fetish. Kamen fumbles a little bit in his step and he fidgets a little more, unsure if she's joking or if she's really asking him about what tactics they're going to use. Once he sees her expression though he realizes, ah, good, it's a joke, she's only messing with him and so he smiles back at her over it. She's cute when she smiles, he really wishes he could make it so that she smiled more often; it's too rare of a sight.

Mission Make Kamen Ranger Blush is a smashing success when she refers to him as captain, his face turns bright red. It's true he's the co-captain of the team but he still feels kind of like Skull's more the captain than he is, he tends to have more authority to his words & actions. Plus he helped guide Kamen in crafting their team for the most part and he helped him craft the strategies they're going to use. It feels like most of his team's forgotten he's the captain too, and so on top of just Blink calling him it, this whole spiel makes him blush over being called it.

SKR: W-well...I don't think we're all going to be friends after the match or anything like that but we seem to be co-existing. Everyone is of the understanding that if any of us want to be one of the final two, let alone the winner, we need to work together. Though...I do think some of them are purposely trying to make light of the threat Skull & I potentially pose any of them, should we make it that far. It seems like some of them aren't willing to show the same respect we've tried to show them.

This is how Kamen took the meeting his team had, the majority of which he had to sit back and watch, letting Skull handle the talking. Strangely enough, Pytor's refusal to use the strategies didn't hurt his feelings as much as Sarah's or Cuervo's, probably because they mocked it. Skull, on the other hand, wasn't fazed at all by it and simply thought them fools for refusing any extra help they could get. It isn't like the Seigi Sentai's abilities to come up with strategies have exactly been leading them on a terrible losing streak through FIW.

They're undefeated as a team.

Skull is entirely undefeated.

They're champions.

Plus Skull is always telling him that it is good to try to look at things from other perspectives, to get other opinions. There might be something you missed or something you hadn't thought of that the other person does come up with for you. This can lead to further improvement in skill, strategy, and make you an overall more efficient and superior fighter in the ring. It's why had any of his team mates bothered to offer help to them, Kamen would've accepted it, and tried to learn from it.

SKR: Yeah, I don't really know him too well but I've heard alot about the guy, heard he's a real dangerous hombre to tangle with. He wears a weird outfit, calls himself Ramen Rider...or something like that.

It's now that Kamen is near the door, only a few inches away from Blink and he's staring down at her. There's a mock vague recollection over who Blink should be looking out for in the ring when the Cibernetico is going on at Violence Fetish. It soon becomes clear, especially with his own playful smile, that he's joking about himself as the guy she should look out for. He's of course joking with her, giving her a small kiss on the forehead to further confirm to her that he isn't being serious.

Blinks head had tilted when she the person was being described to her. Is he some kind of mystery partner? Is that fair? Was the fact even advertised? So many questions begin running through Blink's mind. How unfair is it that...wait, he's joking. She still looks a little surprised by his description even after he plants the kiss to her forehead. She lingers a moment before shrugging and hurrying out of the room closing and locking up the door behind her. Expensive things in there like cameras and more cameras and after Blink signed for it she became responsible for it. But none of that should matter as Blink jumps up a little higher a few times filled with both energy and excitement.

Blink: [size0]I hope you don't mind a Lady Emily style training session.

So is Emily finally going to show up? Wait, Kamen Ranger never signed up for this, just the jogging. Blink smiles getting in a few last minute arm stretches as she gets ready to jog, or run, or skip and tumble, or whatever it is Emily has her doing these days.

Blink: [size0]Lady Emily said I need to do fifteen laps...but if we're quick with them we can maybe get away with twenty or so. So last one back here by then is—oof!

Blink stumbles back eventually losing balance and falling on her ass after hitting what appears to be a wall. She gives her head a shake and looks up to find two very familiar people staring down at her.

Kimberly: You should be more careful, Blink.

The Bad Girl nods her head taking the blame for running into Sadovsky who's looking between the two until finally settling on Kamen Ranger.

Sadovsky: Preparing to lose? Not good to see captain flirting with enemy.

With Sadovsky's eyes on Kamen Ranger, Blink's eyes rest on Kimberly wondering if she might have any news from Honey. She doesn't expect to hear any of it now, given their company, but it would certainly be nice to see if her rival sent something. Maybe another kiss?

Sadovsky: It is good to be training, but do not show capabilities to opponent. Especially one who is both eager and easy to please.

As if on cue, Kimberly steps forward crouching down in front of the still seated Blink. The Bad Girl eyes the agent as she hugs the iPad2 against her chest and reaches out with the other hand running it softly over Blink's head all while keeping a pleasant smile and eye contact. Under such attention, Blink begins to purr as her eyes flutter about.

Kimberly: Would you be a sweet'eart and let me know what you've got planned for the match?

Blink: [size0]I plan on losing, Miss. Kimberly.

Kimberly: Good girl.

Blink smiles warmly right up to the point Kimberly pushes back to a vertical base looking back over at Sadovsky. This abrupt action leaves Blink both confused and disoriented as she begins to wonder just where the love went. Though she does manage to come back enough to Earth to notice Sadovsky making a breaking gesture with his hands before huffing out a small laugh before he continues down the hall with Kimberly in tow.

Blink: [size0]What was that about?

The gesture? The visit? The words? Blink could mean anything from the past little bit.

Kamen's a little disappointed his joke goes over about as well as a lead balloon trying to make it across the Atlantic, ah well. He follows her out the door and he waits for her as she tends to it, making sure everything in there is secure while they're gone. This is good, it's kind of what Skull had wanted him to do anyways, so it's doing both what's been asked of him and doing something he wants to do. Times like these he's happy such things as loop holes exist, they manage to keep some stability to his life these days.

He is a little taken back by Blink's sudden jumping, it's not something he's come to expect from the Bad Girl. Though in a weird way it's kind of cute, how excited she's getting for this jog the two of them are going on, it shouldn't be that unusual to him. Blink's got a habit of getting overly excited about things when it comes to training, whether it is being told to do it or she's in the midst of doing it. Now that he thinks about it, some of the happiest moments he's seen from her are ones where she's training or talking about training.

Her reference to Emily Stratfield does make him curious how exactly this is going to go now, if there's some special stipulation to it. Since he's come to notice sometimes there are strange additions her trainer adds to Blink's training to make it more difficult. Sometimes he can see the point in it, other times it feels like she's simply throwing extra work in to make Blink have to work harder. Like, there's nothing really gained from it, she just wants to see if the Bad Girl can do it successfully.

Oh right, how did they get back together anyways?

The masked man's waiting for his chance to ask, lost in thought, when he sees Blink bump into something and fall over. His instinct is to run to her side to help her when he notices what, or rather who, it is that Blink bumped into & sent her to the floor. Now this is what he calls awkward, he isn't sure if he should continue to move to Blink's aid or stand up straight being in Pytor Sadovsky's presence. So he's in a bizarre sort of position where he's half standing and half crouching, somewhere in-between the two.

Pytor's words confuse Kamen at first till he realizes what he means, flirting with the enemy, Blink, she's on Team Sleazy. He doesn't see how they're flirting exactly though, they're only going for a jog together around the arena a few times. Though he's pretty sure it's just the Russian using it as an expression...then again, they are a couple; Pytor might see this as something related to that. Either way he isn't sure how he's preparing to lose if he's spending time with Blink, even if it's flirting with the enemy.

Good thing for the tag team champion the Russian Bear's there to clarify for him why he's preparing to lose. Albeit Kamen disagrees strongly with what the bigger man's said, it's only a jog, it isn't like they're sprinting and pushing their bodies to the limit. While twenty laps isn't anything to sneeze at, it isn't his best as far as number of laps he's managed to do before either during training. Skull's made sure that his partner's body isn't going to tire out on him when they're running all over the place during patrol.

Course, any chance he's got to talking to Pytor about it is silenced when Kimberly steps forward and hunches down. Kamen's ready to defend Blink, in case this woman's going to try anything when he recalls her from the Halloween party. She's the girl that kissed Blink, and once she shows she isn't going to do any harm to her, he lets his body relax from the tense state it had been in. Albeit is something of an awkward moment for him, watching this woman make his girlfriend purr so under her touch.

Then the question comes and the answer goes out of Blink's mouth, and he can't believe what he's heard from her. She plans to lose? ...The Bad Girl plans to lose the match? Maybe she means the FSC tournament...no, it doesn't make any sense in that respect and he knows Blink's smart enough to know Kimberly's asking about the Cibernetico. This means that Summer Madison's tactics for the match are for her to throw the contest.

So that means...

...In the dressing room...

...The joke...

His mind is racing so much that he doesn't even notice Kimberly stop petting Blink or her getting up or even Pytor's gesture & laugh. None of it matters to him, they are as unimportant to him as the concepts that Rurik Krychek tries to preach to the masses whenever he can. It's why their exit from Blink's and his presence is one that goes unnoticed by him, who is now looking down at the floor & trying to think straight. What little is visible of his features are tense though it's unclear if they're tense with anger, if he's now angry at his girlfriend for finding this out.

SKR: Pytor plans to try to break your spine.

The voices that comes out of his mouth is barely recognizable to the one that's usually speaking to Blink and everyone else in FIW. It's so cold, it's so distant, it's so unlike Super Kamen Ranger, like someone gave him a lobotomy when no one was looking. There isn't any trace of anger or disappointment or sadness in it after the revelation she intends to throw the match at Violence Fetish on the bright side. There is simply nothing...but a fact that's stated, Pytor Sadovsky has every intention of crippling Summer Madison should they meet in the match.

Something he isn't going to let happen.

Sarah Twilight might've wasted her breath but Kamen isn't going to, he would've done the same as her earlier had Skull let him. But that pause, the time he gained by being forced to step back and what he's seen since from Pytor he knows the reality of the situation. Someone sticking their chest out at him and trying to tell him off isn't going to do anything, the man's made up his mind, he's going to do this. Words are as hollow as a dead tree, it's actions that are going to stop him from doing anything to the Bad Girl in the match, any thing extreme like he intends.

It's why Pytor Sadovsky must learn that a strong resolve doesn't stop there being opposition to something one desires. He can want to break Blink all he wants, he's going to find it hard to do should Blink and him be in the ring at the same time during the Cibernetico. Kamen's going to screw the rules and interject himself into the match if he has to, if it means that Blink's safe and Pytor's stopped from doing the unthinkable. There is no desire to hurt Pytor or eliminate him from the match, merely the natural instinct that is going to make him stop Pytor, try to stop him at least.

Violence Fetish's a bad day to be a Russian.

SKR: Would you like to continue our jog?

The Inter-Galactic Hero's movements have the same cold, distant quality to him as his voice does, like something's not quite right in him. It doesn't take long for him to be standing over the Bad Girl; his hand is extending out to her for her to grab to help her up to her feet. He stares down at her, looking at her from behind his mask as he poses the question to her, it's one of the things that is on his mind right now. The question isn't the most important thing but it's certainly one he couldn't blame her for if she didn't want to continue it after that experience.

Blink: Of course!

She responds cheerfully before slapping her hand down into Kamen Rangers allowing him to help her up off the floor where she begins to dust herself off. She's certainly optimistic for someone who's just been told that one of the largest men on the roster is planning on snapping her spine in half. Then again in a world like the one they live in such threats are common. “I'm gonna kick your ass” and such attitudes seem to run rampant so for it to not really phase Blink too much...well, we can't be certain if it did or didn't phase Blink because how often does she talk about these things? If she were to say anything on the matter it would be an apology that Sadovsky has thus far failed on his attempts and that she wishes him luck in his next try. The complete truth though is that Blink is indeed worried, scared even, but Kamen Ranger has done nothing wrong to have him worry along with her. It's why she once again wears the mask of a smile as she turns toward the other end of the hall getting in a few heel bounces while drawing her hair back.

Blink: [size0]I hope you don't mind, I just really want to show you something first. Might be a bit cool, but that's okay. Ready? Go!

Blink's off like a shot down the hall laughing and it actually doesn't take her long until she turns down another corridor. Is this the way to their destination or just a track Blink has created in her mind? Actually, it's a little of both. If Blink had more time she would've told Kamen Ranger that this jogging trip will be set through a course running in an obscure circular pattern around the arena with turns down multiple halls. These turns will then be repeated the next time through in effort to build up a standing memory through action. Just one of Emily's training practices. However, after a few turns, Blink pushes her way through some doors and proceeds to climb upward until she gets to the top where she begins to walk up to the closed door. She tests it and sure enough it's locked. Following a quick glance down over the railing, Blink crouches down in front of the door and begins to examine the lock.

Blink: [size0]Miss. Cyndi taught me this. Just keep a lookout and make sure not to touch anything when we're inside.

Blink shifts herself in front of the door producing a couple of small objects sticking them inside the lock. It's a tricky one and it takes Blink a bit but she manages to get it open. Once inside, Blink quickly hurries down the smaller corridor to a ladder she climbs up a few rungs before coming across another lock. Just your standard store bought lock so that's not the problem, the problem is maintaining balance on the ladder so that she can get at the lock with her tools. In effort to combat this, Blink leaves one foot on the rung and plants the other firmly against the wall allowing the boyfriend, should he wish to see, a perfect view of her dalmatians.

Blink: [size0]Got it.

Blink leaves the lock hanging on the rung for later and pushes open the door. She climbs out the rest of the way and finds herself in behind the giant scoreboard. She looks up getting a bit of a dizzy feeling and then looks out over the cityscape before smiling. When she remembers she's not the only one here, Blink finishes climbing quickly taking a seat far from the edge and just looks out to the city of Barcelona in front of her.

Blink: [size0]Whenever I can I try and sneak to places like this as they're always the most quiet and peaceful. Though I don't do it as often as I used to since I...

She wants to end off there with mentioning her slowly growing fear of heights but figures against it as Kamen Ranger might opt they leave because certainly being up here can't be any good for her. She does look a little frightened but it's still in a place she can control it. She just wants to admire the sight before she knows she'll no longer be able to.

Blink: [size0]You heard what I have planned for the match, but I don't know why you're so upset about it.

Is that how she read her boyfriend a few minutes ago?

Blink: [size0]I'm not going to win, I know that. Not just because I'll be giving Lee everything I have to offer, but because I could never win something like that. I mean by some miracle my team could win and then what? They all turn on one another and with their desire to become Dual Crown champion I can't compete.

Is Blink saying she doesn't have the desire to become Dual Crown champion? Certainly sounds that way.

Blink: [size0]I'm just a side character in my own life, I wouldn't even know what to do with another shot. Besides, I'm not greedy, I can wait until everyone else has had their chance.

A small little smile on Blink's face.

Blink: [size0]That's why I'm just going to take the loss. I mean what if my actions cost someone else their dream? What if in a way I injure you during the match because I attack? I can't create another problem for you. Anyway, I'm...I'm starting to get a little uncomfortable.

She begins crawling toward the hatch climbing down the ladder before nervously handling the lock she takes from the rung. When she notices Kamen Ranger making his way down she passes up the lock for him to use but lingers on him with a worried expression.

Blink: [size0]Please don't say what I know you're going to say about my plan.

Now it's her turn to plead but it'll go respected, right? Kamen Ranger hasn't had enough of Blink's self beatings, has he? He did say he'd respect her right to make decisions after all.

If Kamen's got any kind of reaction to her so cheerfully exclaiming of course over the Russian Bear's desire to break Blink's back, he doesn't show it. He simply wraps his hand around her hand when she puts it in his and he is helping her up to her feet like a gentleman. Once she's up on her feet, he releases his hold on her hand and he looks down at his now empty hand, thinking, pondering the universe. More likely is he's still thinking over what he's been told, Blink plans to throw the match & lose it on purpose, something that should be offensive to his fighter's pride.

What's the point in winning afterall if you're opponent is letting you win? There is no true sense of competition there. There's in no sense of sport in something like that.

His eyes wander to his girlfriend's figure when she starts talking again, and he has to wonder why she's doing this. Both in the sense of why she's using this strategy, or lack thereof, and why she's acting so cheerful after she's found out about the death threat. He can't help but feel like she's putting on a brave face, trying to hide any worry that she has about Pytor from him for whatever reason. Kamen doesn't know this for sure, he could be way off, she really could think this little of it but he can't shake the feeling.

Off she goes and he follows behind her, ever staying a few steps behind her along the way on their little exercise together. It isn't because of what's going on in his head or anything like that, it's because he's keeping it easy for himself during this training. Something Pytor said rings in his head and it keeps him from exerting the energy it would take to keep shoulder to shoulder with her or even pass her. It's probably better to keep it light, both for stamina purposes & so that she isn't able to see the full extent of what he's capable of, in terms of running & speed.

The path that's been crafted for them isn't that hard for him to follow, mostly because he's got Blink in front of him. He simply has to mimic her actions and he's staying right behind her, not being thrown off by any random twist or turn they are taking. If he was a more perverse man, he might use this positioning to take in the view that his girlfriend's providing for him while he's jogging. Rather his mind is on more dull matters still, like the match and Pytor, and what Blink's intending to do.

He just doesn't get it.

Before he knows it, they're pushing through several doors and they're moving upward to an unknown location in the arena. He nearly runs into the back of Blink, not realizing they're stopping and he straightens himself out after he's come to a halt behind her. Kamen looks around, trying to get an idea for where they are and what is going on, and he honestly doesn't have the foggiest clue to anything in regards to that. For all he knows, Blink's led him to a door that leads straight to the outside with a dozen foot drop on the other side of the door like something out of a cartoon.

Great, they're now breaking and entering, sort of, he's sure this is perfectly legal while he glances around, doing as he's been told. There isn't really anything to worry about or keep an eye out for, there's no one up here, this place is as disserted as a Limp Bizkit concert in 2011. But he knows he should respect Blink's request and it'll make her feel more at ease if he does, so he continues to keep a look out for them. Once she's got it, Blink hurries through the door and he's quick to follow after her, wondering where all of this is going and what this is all about.

They come to a ladder, one that Blink's fearless in climbing up and Kamen looks up to see where this leads exactly, to another door. He feels like he's in some maze or dungeon with all these doors that they're going through, should he be looking for the chests that have the map & compass in them too? His eyes divert when Blink positions herself in an awkward balancing act, not wanting to stare up at her panties while she gets the lock. It isn't like he's seen more of her, just he isn't one to take advantage of such things and disrespect someone like Blink like that.

Besides, it's kind of creepy.

This one doesn't take her nearly as long and once she's got it, Kamen's climbing up the ladder behind her & following her out. He doesn't get far because Blink lingers by the door for a moment, obscuring his view of what's beyond the door. When she moves and gives him some space too, he makes his way out and he looks around, taking in the sight of the city that's before them. So this is it, this is what she wanted to show him, he looks over at her smiling face for a moment before looking back at the cityscape.

Kamen isn't sure how many times he's seen a cityscape like this during night patrol with Skull and yet it never lessens the impact for him. No matter where they are, if he's seen it a thousand times before, it's always breath taking to him to look at it. It always fills him with such hope, seeing the culture & lives of human beings encompassed so neatly with something like a beautiful view like the one they have. The imagery is a display of how far man's come and how far they've yet to go, it leaves him with an even more optimistic view on the world than he usually has.

The icy demeanor melts away to make room for the hints of a smile when he looks back over at his pink haired girlfriend. He wants to say something to her, thank her for bringing him up here and showing him this, he really appreciates it. But...he doesn't say anything, partially because he feels like it'll ruin the mood the sight is making and partially for another reason. He feels a little awkward after feeling the way he has over what he's found out, and he' still not entirely sure what he thinks of it.

Too bad Kamen's worry was for nothing, Blink speaks and it doesn't ruin the mood at all when he returns his gaze to the cityscape. He can see that, he could see Blink sneaking away from her everyday life so she is able to come up to places like this & look at the view. There's a random thought of wondering how many cities Blink's seen like this, and how many more she's going to see before everything's said & done. Her words keep him from getting too ponderous and deep thinking, bringing his attention back to her before she finishes what she's saying.

The Bad Girl's trailing off makes him raise an eyebrow, wondering what exactly has stopped her from doing this as often as she used to. Is it her schedule getting busier, her spending more time with him instead of doing things like this, maybe since she lost the tag belts? Upon further thought, she did seem scared the other night in France but that's understandable, couldn't be she's afraid of heights...could it? That doesn't make alot of sense to him, seeing the style she implements in the ring, it relies partially on heights for some of the maneuvers.

Then thoughts of her potential fears come crashing down when she's brought up the subject of what she has planned for the match. His smile fades a little and he looks away from the cityscape, staring down off to the side when she continues to talk about that topic. Kamen wants to speak up, tell her he isn't upset...but he isn't sure how he feels if he's being honest, there are alot of conflicting emotions going on. Offense to her choosing such a tactic, the will to try to respect her decision, and the sadness is knowing that it is a difficult position for him.

Blink doesn't make things any easier for him, making it hard to stand there & enjoy the view she's showing him. He hates it when she talks so badly about herself, and this defeatist's attitude she's got going is making him want to break out into speech. Kamen wants to tell her that no one got anywhere in life by believing they'll fail from the onset, and that she's more talented than she gives herself credit for. That she could compete with the rest of her team, she's one of the few he could see walking out of this the winner if she put her mind to it.

But this isn't about what he thinks; it's about what she thinks.

She talks.

He listens.

Listening is made even harder when she goes into what he's heard a few times from her, she's a side character in her own life. Once again, in Kamen's opinion, it is only the case if you let it be the case, and Blink has the power to make that not the case. Even now, he doesn't feel like that is entirely how it is, merely how Blink wishes to view her life, her as the lowly side character and everyone else's more important. He wishes he could show her that she's so much more than just a side character, in her life and in his life, she's far more important than that.

Her telling him she isn't greedy, she can wait till everyone else has a chance does manage to make him smile a little. It's a sad smile for what she's said to him but it's a smile nevertheless she's managed to make, saying something like that is so Summer Madison. She would see it as being greedy of her to try to get another shot at the Dual Crown, she would say that everyone else is able to get a turn first. If they were playing Fruits Basket, he could see Blink willing being the rice ball so that everyone else got the chance to play & she'd be satisfied just watching.

There's something cute about the way she insists on taking the loss, and the reasons for why she's going to. It's so simple and naive for something like professional wrestling, not everybody's dreams are going to be made into a reality. Somebody's got to win, and somebody's got to lose, and it isn't like Blink's going to be the only person that's going to lose the Cibernetico match at Violence Fetish. There's going to be about twenty other losers that are going to be right there with her while one person stands and survives till the end for that prize.

...Her create another problem for him? Kamen shakes his head, he doesn't really see how she's created any problems for him, if anything, she's one of the good things in his life. If anything too, he's the one that's been creating problems for her, Emily, the Bad Girls, not to mention parts of his life bleeding into her life. It feels like she's the one that's suffered the most from the two of them gradually growing closer to each other.

There is no time to say anything, the Bad Girl's already crawling for the door after revealing she's getting uncomfortable up here. Huh, maybe she really is afraid of heights then, in that case, he's going to have to be careful from now on to keep that in mind. Kamen follows behind her, letting her go down first and taking the chance to take one last look of the cityscape before it disappears from his sight. Once Blink's down, he starts his descent and he takes the lock from her in mid-climb down when she hands it over to him.

It is relatively effortless for him to close the door and he puts the lock back on it, making sure it's as secure as it can be. When he reaches the bottom, Blink's there waiting for him and she's got something she's going to plead with him over that he hadn't expected. His face, what's visible of it anyways, shows how he's a little caught off guard by her pleading with him to not say anything about her tactics for the match. Really, he knows her well enough that he should've seen this coming a mile away as soon as he's found out about what she intends to do at Violence Fetish.

The Inter-Galactic Hero stands there for a moment, thinking it over though not too much, he's already pretty much made his decision before now. He gives a small nod and he takes several steps closer, invading Blink's personal space and he has a warm smile on his face. There's so much he could say to her right now, so many good points he could raise to try to convince her to dump her idea & just try to put up a fight. He could intelligently construct a solid argument that could defuse every point she's made to him with swiftness, leaving her without a base to stand on.

SKR: As you wish.

...But he doesn't, instead he leans in and cups her chin ever so gently while he whispers his obedience to her. It isn't any surprise with where things are that the next step, for him anyways, is to kiss the Bad Girl on the lips to seal the deal. It is his way of letting her know that he's sincere in his decision to not try to talk her out of it, and to respect her decision making. He might not like the idea but Blink's a grown woman and she's his girlfriend, he's going to respect and try to be supportive of her choice.

SKR: Thank you for showing me that, it was cool.

Just like that, he breaks away from the kiss to let her know he's grateful she took him up there to show him the view. His hand's moved it's positioning to carefully stroking her cheek a little, his fingers feel the soft & smooth sensation of her cheek. Kamen's voice conveys how happy he is she showed him that and how he isn't upset with her, if he was ever really upset with her to begin with. It's moments like the one up there that he cherishes, tiny, quiet moments that the two of them can share with each other.

Blink's eyes are down on toward her fidgeting hands while Kamen Ranger's own stroke against her cheek. A year ago...no, not even a year ago, a few months ago Blink was just another Hellcat in this company striving to impress her mentor. She hadn't thought much of Kamen Ranger at the start of his career here, just a fellow justice seeker, now, aside from his own partner, she's the one who knows the most about him here. It almost sickens her deep down in her gut the thought that she's being trusted with so much information when all she ever wanted was a pat on the head from Emily or anyone else. A “good job, Blink” and she was secure in her life. But then while she would like to say it was the show that threw her down the romantic avenue, she has to admit that it was something she was wanting for some time now. Constant companionship and the knowledge that she was always wanted.

Greedy, greedy girl. How can she ever think of taking someones time away from them to serve her own personal desires? If it were all up to her she'd...she'd...she doesn't know anymore.


Blink: [size0]K-Kun...

She begins in her standard soft tone voice, the kind that's humbled just about everyone in her path. Those that have come in direct contact with it have often times found themselves overwhelmed with the feelings of not wishing to silence such a tender sweet voice. Even some that seem to defy her “spell” keep their distance having seen what happens to those that get too close. Play with fire and you get burned, or in Blink's case you feel warm. Blink never intends for this as everyone who succumbs does so under their own merit. It's easy to hate Blink, harder to keep it up though.

Blink: [size0]You should leave.

Leave? This is certainly coming out of nowhere. Why does Blink want him to go all of a sudden? Doesn't she want him around anymore? Didn't she invite him here? Wasn't this a training exercise between the two?

Blink: [size0]I can't lock the door from out there and if it's alarmed, security will be on their way here. Miss. Cyndi usually handles this but since Lady Emily dismissed me she...

Blink shakes her head realizing that's not something she should be speaking about right now. After all, if she wants Kamen Ranger out of here she shouldn't be wasting his time with boring speeches. That's why she places her hands against his chest and tries her best to move him. Fast, yes. Strong? Absolutely not.

Blink: [size0]You don't need a record on your name too for not doing anything.

Blink eventually gives up on the pushing and heads over for the doorway taking a quick glance at the stairs before backing away into the small corridor to once more in front of Kamen Ranger looking a little nervous per usual.

Blink: [size0]Besides...I'm still a little dis-or-i-en-ted from the roof.

Blink eyes up at her boyfriend, her eyes now pleading the request he leave her to deal with security.

Blink: [size0]But please don't think this is an end to our training...i-if you want you can still meet me outside the dressing room.

The fidgeting fingers once again gain her attention.

Blink: [size0]There are some things I wish to ask you about Miss. Sarah.

Sarah? As in Sarah Twilight? Blink's girlfriend Sarah Twilight? What does she have to ask him about her?

Blink: [size0]Now please go.

Quick bow and quick apology.

Blink: [size0]I'm very sorry for telling you what to do, K-Kun. I-I'll make it up to you. I promise. A-and...and you're welcome.

Another promise? Is it one she can keep this time? She smiles up at Kamen Ranger but then gets a desperate look as though once more pleading with him to take her advice and leave.

Kamen watches his girlfriend; he watches her hands fidget in front of her not unlike how he's sometimes find his hands doing. He wonders what she's thinking about, what's going on in that head of hers with it's pink hair and cute facial features that make him smile. When he had started here in FIW, he hadn't planned on this; he hadn't planned on ever having anything resembling romance in his life. When he met Blink, she was nice, she was cute and she had similar interests, he thought they could become good friends and allies...then the first date happened. From there things blossomed, or snowballed depending on your outlook, and he doesn't regret a single thing about it that's led them to this.

...Well, maybe he'd have liked to have known a masked giant was going to try to kill her; he might've kept her in the arena longer.

Small potatoes.

He perks up when she says his name, well nickname, and it enforces the smile on his face further, he loves hearing her say his name. All the more so he does when she says it like she did a moment ago, in the tone that only she is capable of producing. There's something about it, how soft spoken it is, it makes him want to get closer and try to stay as quiet as he can while she's talking to him. As if by saying something he runs the risk of silencing her or having her run off on him like she's some wild deer.

What she says next isn't what he had expected and judging by the expression that takes over for the smile, he really wants to say "huh?" right now to her. She wants him to...leave, as in leave leave, as in this is it for them today? He hopes it isn't anything more drastic than her wanting him to leave her alone for today, that would be terrible. Also it would mean his first girlfriend lasted all of about, what, a week and a half? That's a pretty abysmal record for someone who has never had a girlfriend before Summer Madison walked into his life....or he walked into Pinkfest, whatever.

Her reasoning for him to leave makes sense; Skull and him have done some questionable things in the past too. But they've always done it for the sake of justice and Skull's always made sure they didn't leave any trail that could connect them to something like this. As it stands, if he stays here with her and security does show up, there isn't any easy way for Blink and him to get out of the situation. Still...he doesn't like the idea of leaving Blink here to fend for herself, to potentially be put into legal troubles simply because she wanted to show him this.

Before he can start entering his hero mindset she disarms it by mentioning Emily's dismissal of her again. This makes him wonder, the way she phrased it and yet early when he ran into her, the way she was talking then...what's going on with Blink? Is she still dismissed from Emily's training or is she back into Emily Stratfield's training program and Emily's her trainer once more? He wants to ask her, confused and trying to make some sense of what he's being told by Blink after being told something else by her.

No time for that though, she's got her hands on his chest and she's trying her hardest to push him on his way. Kamen has to fight back a smile, Blink looking so cute with the way she's trying so hard to push him out of the way, strength is certainly not her strong suit. He complies and he starts to move with her pushing, trying to get out of her way and get himself into a position where he can leave. If she feels this strongly about it, he'll obey, he'll go, and he doesn't want her to be upset or worried about him.

When she confesses she's a little out of it from the roof concern starts to sneak up on Kamen and he's starting to worry about her. If she is, then how smart of a thing is it to leave her here alone to deal with the door & the lock when he could do it for her? He'd rather handle it, and potentially the repercussions if caught, than have her hurt herself because she's still feeling the trip the roof they took. Kamen isn't sure what he'd do or feel if he found out she was harmed when he could've prevented it easily for her.

There is some relief in finding out that Blink doesn't want this to be the end of the day for the two of them, if he is willing, and he is. He had wanted to spend more time with her today and if that means more training, he's fine with that; he doesn't really care what they do. They could sit down, stare at a wall, and talk to each other about the great things that make up the wall for all he cares if they are doing it together. So he gives a small nod of the head, letting her know that he'd like that alot and that sounds like a plan to him, meet each other back at the dressing room.

Right when he's about to speak...she brings up the questions she has for him in regards to her girlfriend, Sarah Twilight. Kamen wonders why she'd be asking him questions about her, if anything; it maybe should be the other way around between the two of them. Blink's spent more time with her than he has and she's her girlfriend, not his, and it's something he intends to keep that way if he can. He has no real interest in Twilight outside of getting to know her and hopefully becoming friends with her. It is if for no one else's sake than for Blink's sake.

Back to the pleading for him to go, she even gives him a quick bow and apology for telling him what to do. The masked man shakes his head, she would do that to someone who she's trying to make sure stays out of trouble with the authorities in a foreign land. He wonders what she means by making it up to him but shrugs it off, literally, not caring if she makes it up to him or not, seeing as there isn't anything to make up. Kamen would rather she keep her promises to stuff that's more important than something like this, something he feels she doesn't need to make up for.

SKR: How can I refuse? I'll see you there, take care of yourself.

The Inter-Galactic Hero has something of a joking tone when he asks how can he refuse her request, smiling at her. He nods and shrugs, letting her know he'll see her there and asking her to take care of herself before he gives her a pat on the head. It's while he's patting her on the head that smoke suddenly fills the area, blinding supposedly both of them for a moment or two. This one isn't nearly as powerful as the one back in France, dispersing in seconds, and when it does, Kamen's gone...




Super Kamen Ranger walks casually up to the Bad Girls' dressing room, looking the same as when they left it some minutes ago. He looks around; it doesn't look like there's anyone else in the general area, merely him and the Bad Girls' dressing room door. With nothing else to do but to wait for his girlfriend, he leans against the wall next to the dressing room door, folding his arms over his chest. His eyes glance down at the pink scarf he's wearing and it brings a grin to his face, reminding him of the woman who he just left to deal with the lock. She really is something special.

Luckily, as it turns out, he doesn't have to wait all that long before Blink comes around the corner looking her usual timid self. She eyes down one end of the hall, the opposite end of the dressing room, and then the other toward Kamen Ranger putting on a bright smile. She's about to come out when she darts back as a stagehand carrying a few bundles of wires in his hands passes by. She bows apologizing for getting in his way while the stagehand, obviously foreign to the language she's speaking, just looks at her silently before continuing on. Guess he's not used to people bowing to him. It doesn't deter Blink though and soon she's approaching Kamen Ranger again with nearly the same smile she first showed a second or two ago. When she gets to him she bows resting both hands together in front of her.

Blink: [size0]Thank you for coming, I apologize for making you wait though.

She straightens up continuing her rarely seen bright smile when she notices the scarf appearing stunned by it's colour. Stunned, then a little upset, then right back to smiling. While Blink adores the colour pink, mainly because it's a lighter shade of Emily's red, it troubles her that it's a colour she's becoming more known for. It makes her wonder if she went back to being a brunette if people would just start ignoring her. Though that isn't to say that she wanted the pink hair to stand out, she just wanted it because she wanted it is all. Or maybe Kamen Ranger is just wearing pink because he enjoys the colour too. It's that thought that brings the smile back to Blink's face when she eyes up at her boyfriends own face. Well, masked face.

Blink: [size0]As promised, I do have something to make it up to you though.

As promised, yep. How far ahead did Blink think one through? Does she just lay awake at night pondering ways to make other people happy? How many avenues does she visit in her mind? How many conversations does she think up? Is the Kamen Ranger standing before her playing up to how she played him out in her mind? Obviously he's thrown a few surprises, a few curve balls as it were, but thus far she's been getting to understand him a lot better. Though of course Blink being Blink, she doesn't like that because now it seems to her that she's just manipulating him, using his own personality to take firm control of his actions. Still, she can't get the man out of her mind so she creates instances that could never happen; dates of a fantastic level. Dances on the moon, champagne in an underwater castle, unicorn rides along the shores of Ireland, and many other moments. In her mind, how often have they kissed? How much more do they know about one another? In her mind Kamen Ranger knows everything there is to know about Blink. All of the things this Kamen Ranger can only guess at. Blink knows she should take the stab, open up her gates and let him in because that's one thing her mental image of the man likes most about her. The fact that she trusts him as much as he trusts her.

Blink: [size0]I've been studying for the past few weeks and...

She trails off looking like she's a little embarrassed with what she's about to say. She doesn't want to open the gates just yet, but at the very least she can give him a shimmer of what's inside. A nice ray of light to help guide his way toward her as she can't keep him wandering in the dark forever. Otherwise he'll walk a path he thinks leads to her but instead brings him further and further away.

Blink: [size0]I was...wondering if maybe you...you wanted...t-to go...dancing again?

Her eyes become that hopeful stare as she knows she did horribly the last time but hopes that everything she learnt would be worth it. If he says “no” then she wouldn't blame him as it was a stupid idea to begin with.

Blink: Th-Though not right now. I-I was...I was thinking more... [size0]next week? We could just go for a walk this week if that's alright. Again, I'd really like to talk to you about Miss. Sarah.

By the sound of things she just wants to talk about Sarah and not herself and Sarah. Blink could be asking about this for anyone. Lee, her coming opponent. Catherine, her returning partner. Hell even Ariel, the maid she's most likely woken up next to this morning. Though that can't be true because we all know just who she woke up next to this morning.

Super Kamen Ranger's humming a little tune when he notices out of the corner of his eye a pink haired vision of beauty. His smile returns to him when he sees that Blink's already walking up to him, something that didn't take as long as he had thought it would. There is relief to see her walking up to him, looking fine, it would seem that things didn't go as badly as Blink feared they might've for them with the lock & door. With how quickly she got here, there's no way there was time for any security to show up and give her the run around for doing something like what they did.

When Blink bows and thanks him he can't help but grin, it takes everything he's got to stop himself from chuckling. She acts as if they're meeting up for the first time today or something; of course he's going to stick around to spend more time with her. They had been having a good time together, after they started jogging, and he wasn't just going to bail on her after she took him to see something like that. Sometimes she's so silly he could...do...something...yeah, he's got nothing on how to finish that sentence up.

SKR: No problem, and don't worry about it, you got here not long after I did.

The Inter-Galactic Hero's smile mirrors the Bad Girl's smile when he shrugs his shoulders, letting her know it isn't a big deal. She sometimes gets so formal with him about this stuff and he feels, at this point in their relationship, there isn't any need for that. He also is somewhat truthful with her when he confesses she didn't make him stand around waiting for her for too long, she really did come quickly. The time he spent standing here couldn't have been any longer than a few minutes before she showed back up, least it seemed like it.

There's a brief moment of confusion for Kamen when he sees Blink's expression go through a series of changes. First, she's smiling and everything's good, then she looks stunned as if she's just noticing something for the first time since they met up. Then her features shift into upset and he's worried he's done something wrong or maybe worn something wrong though she's been able to see everything he's been wearing for a while now. That can't be it...and she's back to smiling, and so Kamen assumes maybe it's something she's thinking about, best to let it go for now.

Now comes the moment of truth, what she promised for him, and he's curious as to what it is she's got in store for him. Imagine his confusion when she confesses to having studied for the past few weeks, studying, what's studying got to do with this? It probably doesn't help that in his mind when he hears studying; it makes him think of school style studying, her studying math & English & social studies. That's why her being embarrassed confuses him even more, what is she trying to tell him here, is she going for her GED?

Then her question hits him like a tidal wave in the ocean, she wants to go dancing with him again sometime? Kamen had high hopes for the Halloween party, the two of them dancing; it had played out better & more romantically in his head than in reality. The reality wasn't bad but it had been clear to him that Blink was as much of a novice at it as she had revealed to him she was that night at the party. The thought that she might've learned a thing or two interests him all the more to give it another go with his girlfriend.

SKR: I'd love to go dancing with you again, Natsu-chan.

If he didn't already feel so strongly about it, the cute hopeful expression she has would've killed any doubt he had in wanting to go dancing again. It's so adorable it makes him want to explode and then regenerate back together and hug her & then explode again. How could anybody ever dislike, let alone hate, somebody that's as precious as Summer Madison is, he has to wonder to himself standing there. It's things like these that make her stuck in his head so often, make him wonder about their future, wonder how things are going to go between them.

SKR: Yeah, that's fine. I'd like to go for a walk and I wouldn't mind that chat.

The Interstellar Insect nods and he shrugs his shoulders, showing that it's cool if they wait till next week for the dance. He isn't even sure where FIW's headed next; he should find out sometime soon, it's kind of important though he figures Skull might already know. What interests him more is that his suspicions are correct; Blink wants to talk to him just about Sarah Twilight, and not Sarah Twilight and her. Why she wants to talk about this...he isn't really sure but he's more than willing to do it, it looks like it is important to Blink and it's important to him too.

It's not long until they're out of Camp Nou walking along the sidewalk. Blink is once again wrapped around his arm hugging it while she rests her head on his shoulder after having folded the scarf a few times to make herself a makeshift pillow. Not that his shoulder wouldn't be comfortable enough without the aid, it's always just fun to mix things up from time to time. This is how it's been for the past little while, Blink closing her eyes for prolonged periods of time letting out soft sighs of contentment re imagining the moment he patted her head. That was heaven, truly heaven. If Blink could have a moment repeat itself forever in her life, it would be Emily patting her head. Kamen Ranger! Kamen Ranger patting her head. Or Ariel. Catherine? Maybe Sarah? All Blink sees in her vision of heaven is someone, anyone it seems, patting her head.

Blink: [size0]K-Kun,

She begins once more in her soft, timid voice still feeling a bit nervous being around him. Afterall she's still new to this girlfriend thing, is she even acting like one should? She sure hopes she is as there's not much to study from as everyone out there has a different opinion on how a girlfriend should behave. Maybe she should just go with what she knows, that being what her parents taught her growing up. That a girlfriend should be subservient to their intended mate. Blink's already pretty much almost there, but she doesn't wish to go all the way there.

Blink: [size0]I suppose I should ask you now.

About Sarah?

Blink: [size0]About Miss. Sarah.

About Sarah. The question should be obvious, in fact it should've been obvious for the past little while. Still though, is Kamen Ranger ready with an answer?

Blink: [size0]What are your thoughts on her?

And there it is. Much like about Nikita and Emily, Blink wants to know the mans opinion on another woman in her life. But how does the boyfriend respond when asked a question like that by her girlfriend about her girlfriend? Without making it sound too personal? Business, there's business. But you should know Blink would like a little more than just what he thinks of her as a competitor. But again, when is it ever about what Blink wants?

The FIW World Tag Team Champion is living the dream right here, right now as far as his simple mind is concerned. He's walking through the streets of one of the most infamous cities in the world, and he's arm in arm with the girl of his dreams. She's resting her head on his shoulder, with some help from his scarf, and they're simply enjoying each other's presence right now. Maybe he's easy to please but he could be content with just this, just the two of them knowing how they feel for each other & in each other's presence.

There's a smile about as big as one can get on his face, it's bordering on a full blown grin from the masked man. Blink's cooing like sighs are further making this for him, further delighting him to be in her company for this walk the two of them are sharing. It's moments like this where everything else peels away, all thoughts drift into nothingness, thoughts of the Cibernetico, the title match, Skull, his life in general. Everything fades into white, leaving only the moment, leaving only Blink and him in his mind as they are walking down the street to who knows where.

Their destination? Wherever their feet take them.

Least for him it is.

Luckily he has decent control over himself, because when Blink speaks his name it startles him ever so slightly. If he had less control he might've jerked and that would've been bad, considering she's resting her head on his shoulder right now. After the initial shock is over, he smiles again, he can't help it, he knows it might be sickly puppy love stuff but he finds her voice so adorable. It makes him all ears for when she says she's going to ask him something, something related to Sarah Twilight.

It feels like his girlfriend's stalling a bit when it comes to the question exactly but he's got an idea of what it is. Shockingly, Blink doesn't throw him a curve ball; it's exactly the question he thought it might be that she's asking of him to answer. What does he think of Sarah Twilight, it's a good question, one he isn't entirely sure how to answer if he's being honest about it. Not because of what kind of person Sarah Twilight is...just he hasn't had alot of time with her like Blink's had. He's only seen her twice, once during ReVolt and then earlier when his team had a meeting together.

SKR: Well...I don't know her that well, I've only spoken to her a few times but she seems like a good person, just rough around the edges. She's career driven, she's goal minded, and she's confident in herself, even if I think she's sometimes a little too confident and it's to her disadvantage. As a fighter she's obviously skilled, she's undefeated and she's got potential to go to the very top of FIW, if she puts her mind to it. And from what little I've seen of you two together...you seem good for each other.

He isn't sure what exactly to say and it's reflected in his expression, what's seen of if, and his tone when he's speaking to Blink. There's a tinge of uncertainty when he describes how he views Sarah Twilight, having not really formed a fully defined opinion on her. So all he's capable of giving his girlfriend at this time is his jumbled thoughts on her so far, the pieces to his not yet constructed opinion on her. He tries to give her as much as he has, both personally and professionally, and he even mentions something that Blink might not have expected.

The Inter-Galactic Hero's tried to give the two their privacy, even if one is his girlfriend and the other is his current team mate. He doesn't want Blink to get the wrong impression, that he's spying on them or trying to keep an eye on the two of them & what they do. But they are both part of his life now, more so Blink than Sarah, so...he's curious and he's watched some of what's gone on between them. There is a little worry that she might be upset with him for it...then again, everyone else is watching what's going on between Sarah and Blink.

Somehow, probably because he's thick like this, he doesn't realize that this is the third time Blink's asked him about something like that. If he did, he might mistake it for a sign that she cares about his opinion and values it more than he would've thought she did. That she actively seeks out his thoughts on other people that are in her life and that are close to her, ones she wants to keep in her life. Lucky for both of them he doesn't think that, otherwise things might take an awkward turn should Blink tell him otherwise.

It's the final comment that attracts Blinks full attention, not that she wasn't paying attention to what he was saying. She was just so comforted by the scarf resting on his shoulder and just listening to the sound of his voice she found herself drifting to a place of pure serenity. Back on the moon dancing a waltz with the Earth hovering high above them peering down as though every citizen on the planet were an audience watching them perform. Then she's pulled away from this dream and slammed right to where she is now. What does he mean that they're good for one another? Sarah has her problems yes, but does Blink? Well of course she does, but this is the first time Blink can recall her boyfriend really pointing them out. Is this how he felt the entire time? Is it all he's ever thought about? Blink's problems? She's tried, oh dear god has she tried to fix them or at least hide them away. So what is it? What is it that he hates about her? What could be the reason they break up? Does he hate her pink hair? Her tiny breasts? Her outfits? Those slutty slogans on her t-shirts? She thinks those are cute. Maybe he thinks they're beneath her, or they're above her.

Blink can't handle it anymore, the worry, the nervous tension. She stops and rests a hand over her chest when she feels a sharp pain and her breathing rate not increasing but coming to a sharp halt. Her throat is dry and she drops to a knee. She wants to cry out, scream this pain away from her but she doesn't. Or can't. She doesn't know anymore. All she knows is she's in a world of hurt right now and it's only probably drawing attention to herself. That's not fair as she had her moment, she took him to the roof, asked him about Sarah, now it's his turn for the focus. Blink pushes herself up to her feet and stumbles a bit before catching hold of Kamen Ranger's scarf. Luckily her she's so small that she can use the scarf to properly pull herself up and not worry about pulling her boyfriend down. Though even if he were on his way down Blink rushing into him would probably steady him back up as she presses her forehead deep against his chest sobbing out while slowly pounding his shoulder with a balled up fist.


Blink: [size0]What?

What? What what? What's she asking about?

Blink: [size0]What is it? Tell me what it is.

Again, Blink, Kamen Ranger probably would like some clarification here.

Blink: [size0]Tell me what you hate about me. Please.

Oh. Well we already knew she was going to say that anyway.

Blink: [size0]What is it that Miss. Sarah is improving about me? What have you hated all this time?

Someone said once that if you can get to the stage where you find fault and yet still love them...then it's real. Is this real love?

Everything seems to be going well, the few times he eyes Blink while he's telling her his opinion on Sarah Twilight. She's still clinging to his arm, she's still resting her head on his shoulder, and she's still looking utterly content with what they're doing. It's a relief after being worried of how she may take what he's said, worried it wouldn't be good enough of an answer or she'd get upset about something he said. No, things look like they are going well for the two of them, and it makes him happy to share his thoughts with her...

...Scratch that going well part, because she stops a second or two before he notices he's now walking alone. It causes him to turn around in time to see her fall to the sidewalk, looking like she's in pain and she's having issues breathing right now. The look of pain that's etched out of her features is all he needs to see to know what's going on, what's caused this to happen to her. As much as it pains him to admit it, he's pretty sure something he said has generated this reaction out of Blink, something he said about Sarah.

Kamen's already advancing on her when she tries to get to her feet, and he hurries when he sees her stumble, trying to make sure she doesn't fall. She instead grabs hold of his scarf, making it uncomfortably tight around his neck when she is using it to prop herself up. Her forehead plants itself into his chest, an action that startles him slightly, having not expected this to happen when a moment ago things were so nice. Blink's tiny fist comes down on his shoulder, pounding against it several times though there's little force actually behind it, each one stings him emotionally.

It doesn't take long, if he was oblivious to it before, for him to feel his shirt's chest region grow a little damp. This is due to the tears that are now coming out of Blink, and with each one he's feeling a whole lot worse about the situation at hand. What did he do, what did he say, he doesn't know and it makes it that much worse for him that Blink's so upset by whatever it is. If he knew, he could say something now, he could do something now, and he could fix this and have her back to smiling & content Blink.

Then comes another question from her and he's all the more confused, what she asks, what what? He isn't sure if he should start explaining his reaction to what's happened or if she wants something else till she expands upon the question for him. It's when she asks what he hates about her that he feels the sudden urge to take a page out of Skull's book and face palm over what's been said. Hate her, is that what she took away from that comment, she thinks he hates her or hates something about her?

SKR: Natsu-chan...

The masked man practically sighs the name out, resting his head on top of hers, kissing her pink haired scalp. She's sometimes so quick to jump to the worst possible conclusion; it wasn't what he meant at all by what he said about the two of them. His arms wrap around her, trying their best to comfort her in a hug that pulls her body in closer to his as much as they can, her head still where it is. There isn't even an attempt to move her head, letting it stay buried in his chest and he lets her continue to cry it out as he tries to comfort her.

SKR: I don't hate you or anything about you. There's literally nothing I hate about you, you're human, and you’re allowed to not be perfect. I'm not, no one else is, and I l...I like you the way you are.

He shakes his head, ruffling her hair against his partially masked face, at what's being asked of him right now. Kamen tries to think of how to word his answer, wanting to get across to her what it is he wants to tell her without any confusion. It's true he may get upset sometimes but Blink is who she is, he likes her the way she is, he doesn't want her changing for his sake. Then she wouldn't be the girl he's been interested in or the girl he's been dating and calling his girlfriend for the past few weeks.

There is something interesting in amongst the soft whispers he gives her as an answer, something that could go unnoticed. There's a slight stutter near the end, a questionable stutter that seems like he might've been correcting himself on something. Most likely he is unsure if he should say that yet, having never had a girlfriend and never having had the chance to say that to anyone in a romantic sense. He isn't sure if it's too soon, if it would scare Blink, he should give it more time before he commits to saying something like that to her.

SKR: What I meant by what I said earlier is the two of you make each other happy, that's all, really.

The Inter-Galactic Hero frowns a little, this really is all he meant by that last comment he made about Blink & Sarah as a couple. He hadn't meant any deeper meanings to it or what Blink had taken out of it, the two ladies are flawed creatures that are fixing each other. Kamen simply saw how happy Blink made Sarah and especially how happy Sarah made Blink, and he thought it's something good the two share. It's certainly better than if the two of them were bad for each other, and their being together made their lives actively worse & they made each other miserable.
