                I get a glimpse of gemma pulling shatter into a kiss right before she closes the door...

H: ugh those two aha...now all i gotta do is find lexi...i really want this

                  I get in my car and start driving. 

~~~~time skip~~~

               I park my car, lock it and start walking to the place...not gonna lie not many things scare me but this is scaring me. Its mostly a bunch of rough looking men staring at me as i walk to the place. As a yanno like 5'5 woman i dont feel the safest walking around here alone is all. I see the building Shatter talked about and walk in to hear cheering and shouting.  I walk thru a door till i get to where the shouts are coming from and see a huge cage in the middle surrounded by people holding money

?: bet $50 she wins

?2: bet $60 she gets her ass handed to her

                       wtaf is going on? betting what? who? Then i see lexi walk into the cage with a very big scary looking dude.

H: lex-

                       the ref walking into the middle with a mic.

R: remember the rules...THERE ARE NONE! first one ko'd loses 

L: yeah yeah just start would ya i wanna be home before 11

R: ALRIGGGHHTTYYYYYY WHOOOO READY TO RUMBLLEEEEEE?????

                     The ref runs out and the big dude runs at lexi full speed to tackle her. She effortlessly dodges to the side making him bang into the bars. 

L: alright sooooo anyways 

                       She grabs the back of his collar and lunches him to the other side of the cage slamming his back on the bars. She starts punching hum in the chest. He blocks one and punches her in the nose making it bleed. She stops and feels the blood with her finger tip. Everyone goes quiet.

L: listen...bud...i was going easy on ya but NO. ONE. fucks with my nose-

                   She gets on the floor and kicks his legs and he falls down. Then she grabs his legs and THROWS THIS AT LEAST 160 POUND MAN ACROSS THE CAGE EASY and bangs his head on the bar knocking him out cold. 

R: oooohhh alright anyone who placed your bets line up over there its break time...and someone take care of this guy
