Lean On Me (for Tai)

The medical staff at AFW was topnotch - they pretty much had to be, really. Back with the Slamazons, they'd had a medical crew of just a couple doctors, but the one with AFW was almost like a miniature hospital. Given the nature of the fights, how extreme they could be, how often things got out of hand, it was practically required. Nothing less than the best.

They'd managed to fix up Ace well enough - physically, anyway. Mentally would be a whole different story.

And it was raining. Of course it was raining.

Ace was in no shape to drive home alone, not that Valley would have let her even if she was. After what happened, it didn't feel right to leave alone. Partly because there was no telling if that crazy bitch might try something, but also because of the look in Ace's eyes, that sullen stare, like Jocelyn reached in and tour out a chunk of her heart. Valley wanted to comfort her, make her feel better, she just...wasn't sure how to, yet.

She didn't get any better ideas as they drove to Ace's apartment, Valley following the directions of her GPS. Needless to say, the atmosphere was a good deal dimmer than Valley had envisioned for their after-match meeting.

She tapped off her iPod as they took the last left, closing in. "Not far now, almost there." She reached over and rubbed Silver's leg, hand running over the sinuous, sensuous thigh. Any other time, that touch would light Valley's blood on fire. Not today.

Ace didn't say much on the ride, simply giving her address for Valley to enter into her GPS. Other then that she simply sat in the car and sighed. She had thanked Valley for saving her earlier, and was surprised that the woman was there, but during her time in the medical room, she had fallen into silence, the medical staff supplying her with ointments for her bruises and confirming that she had a cracked rib, suggesting a brace, which she had waved off, agreeing to have her ribs taped before they left.

Ace was humiliated to say the least. She had been so happy, having finally achieved her first win in AFW, making such a wonderful friend, and being so excited that she had been chosen to represent her country in this tournament, feeling that things were finally turning around for her after a very rough start to her AFW career. In one fell swoop however, it had been taken away from her, thanks to a savage attack from another psychotic opponent. The beatdown itself wasn't the worst part, it was the feeling of being utterly helpless against her attacker, of not even being able to stand on her own after.

While she was grateful for Valley saving her, finding out she was there actually made things worse. They hadn't seen each other since their match against each other, where after they agreed to team with each other, so Ace could learn from the more experienced Valley, among other things. Instead of their next meeting being the post victory surprise Valley wanted, it was instead a rescue mission.

To say Ace's apartment was fancy didn't do it justice, Valley pulling to the front of the [url=http://www.kencorp.com/select/park_habio_shinjuku_east/index.html:2m3r63n6]Park Haibo Shinjuku Eastside Tower[/url:2m3r63n6], one of the most elite and expensive apartment buildings in all of Tokyo. The entrance had a Valet take and park Valley's car for her, as Valley focused on helping Ace inside. The bottom floors had exquisite lobbies and dining area's, while the elevator took them to the penthouse at the very top of the hotel, Ace having rented it out, showing just how deep her pockets were.

The apartment had several various rooms, a fully fleshed out kitchen, guest rooms, even its own outdoor pool! (Model pics in link)

In short, it was a very impressive home to leave anyone in awe. Upon entering, Ace separated from Valley and led the way to the kitchen, getting herself a bottle of water and taking a much needed drink before looking at Valley, hanging her head.

"I'm sorry..."

"Oh. Oh, wow."

Valley knew that Silver was rich - at least, she remembered it being mentioned, here and there. Silver came off so down to Earth, though, that it always seemed like such a minor point. It didn't seem to be a major part of who she was, and Valley didn't care much about it, one way or the other. She was hardly living in the poor house, herself; her mother wasn't upper class, but she wasn't middle, either. They were nestled between; six figures, very nice house and cars, but not living in a mansion or anything.

This was way above her paygrade, though; she remembered the place when she was apartment hunting. It was high on her 'In My Dreams' list, and her apartment was massive, bigger than most houses Valley had ever been in. It even had a pool - a personal pool.

She tried to keep herself from being in awe and derive her attention from Silver, but the place was staggering, she could hardly hide it. Silver's words were enough to snap her back, though.

"What?" She shuffled over to the kitchen, shaking her head. "Hey, no - what are you apologizing for? You didn't do anything wrong, at all; it was all on that scrawny little..." Valley almost let out a full on growl, balling her fist at the thought of Jocelyn. One day, one day. "It's..." She took a deep breath, calming. "It's not your fault. Okay?"

"No...I screwed up. I let my guard down. I forgot that this place is filled with psycho's and bitches"

She said, shaking her head.


"I....I felt helpless. I couldn't move, I couldn't defend myself...I've never felt like that before. I've lost matches, but to be completely defenseless..."

She leaned her head back, closing her eyes and letting out a deep sigh.


"That just....it's not how I wanted our next meeting to go. I even ruined your surprise..."

"If the surprise was your massive and extremely impressive apartment, don't worry - I'm still really, really surprised." She looked around, taking it all in one more time before she focused on her would-be but wounded lover. The doctors had tended to her well enough, but she was still looking banged up - she didn't need any stress, mental or physical.

"Come on." Valley slid around the table and took her hand. "Let's get you to what I'm sure is the largest bed I'll ever see, okay?" She gave the hand a reassuring squeeze. "You need your rest, and I want to tell you a story."

Ace nodded, leading Valley towards her bedroom, the master bedroom, containing a king size bed with dark blue colored silk sheets, a large walk in closet of outfits, and a built in bathroom. The shower was large enough to have three heads on one wall and two side pillars, the bathtub was a large circular thing, more resembling a hot tub without jets, and the sink was long enough to have two sides, but instead contained one large oval. The sink counter and bathtube were made of granite, showing beautiful green with splotches of lighter shades mixed in. If it was custom or natural, it was hard to tell.

Behind the bed was large windows, showing off the lights of Tokyo below. One one side was the entrance to the balcony, with a table and chairs on it. Inside, the other wall contained some personal effects of Ace's. A trophy case, showing off various wrestling items she had collected during her worldwide training days, the centerpieces including a "Queen of the Deathmatch" Trophy and a replica of a Lucha Libre 3 man Tag Team Title with her name on it and two dates set 8 months apart. Near that, hanging on the wall, was a stock unmodified Ibanez Destroyer guitar, signed by Eddie Van Halen himself. underneath it was her computer, connected to speakers, with a keyboard nearby and a recorder sampler.

In the corner was a bookcase, only a quarter of the way filled, with about 20 books in it, some based on music, others based of sci fi, one being the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Finishing off the room was a 38 inch flat screen television, complete with blue ray played and a shelf of movies underneath, all wrestling. Valley would be able to see the titles if she looked, some WWE ones, some Wrestle Angels, Rumble Roses, even one Slamazons one. There was even a "Favorite Hentai matches" ones.

Ace sighed as they walked in, stepping into her closet and pulling out a bathrobe.

"Listen uh...make yourself at home...I just need to freshen up really quick...get out of my ring gear..."

She said, heading into the bathroom and closing the door behind her, the sound of a shower running. It only lasted 15 minutes, before Ace stepped out, having washed out the dye in her eyes and hair, and wearing the green silk bathrobe, which was snug enough to show off her curves, and see through enough to give Valley a glimpse of the thin black bra and panties Ace wore underneath.

"So um....what do you think?"

And the hits kept on coming.

She watched Silver Ace - no, Haley. She was going to have get used to separating the two; Valley was so used to going by her name in and out of the ring that she forget not everyone preferred that. Though, in her case, she was starting to think people didn't even know what her real name was.

She took a small tour of the apartment while Haley washed off - the place was like a mini-museum. The guitar was beyond awesome - in the unlikely event that Haley was ever down for money, she could probably sell that thing and settle any debt. The recorder device piqued her interest, as well; she did have a lovely voice, but could she sing? Maybe some time she could get a sample. Another, better time.

She went over to examine the Lucha belts for a moment, when something caught the edge of her eye - something familiar. "That - no." She walked over to the DVD racks, and sure enough it was one of those old Slamazons DVDs they sold back in the day - the Brawl For All event. It wasn't much, just a dinky little thing they sold back in Cali - there was no way Haley could have stumbled onto this and bought it by chance, especially in Japan.

She chuckled under her breath and lived the memory for a moment, before putting it back - just one more thing to talk about. Walking forward, she opened the balcony door and stepped out, looking at the Tokyo skyline - stunning. Absolutely stunning.

Haley's words broke her out of it and she turned, brushing some hair out of her face as she faced Haley's lithe and luscious body. "I think you're absolutely beautiful." She stepped back in and closed the door behind her, straightening up. "Though I'm guessing you meant your apartment in general, not just you."

Haley blushed brightly as Valley complimented her looks, straightening out her robe.

"Yeah...thank you though....I really appreciate it..."

She said, moving to her bed and sitting on it. While she was blushing about being called beautiful, which was mainly out of not being used to hearing that before, her dating life having died before it really began almost 5 years ago. There was another thing she was blushing about though.

"Ummm....I uh....I need a favor..."


She said, undoing the sash on her robe and starting to open it a little, before holding up a bottle.

"The um...the ointment the doctors gave me to heal the bruises....I can't reach my back....and it hurts too much to reach past my waist...."

She blushed again, knowing just this must look, given that she was in her underwear. Still, her legs needed it, and she couldn't get them, or her back, done if she was wearing clothing. She slept in this anyway, and honestly wanted Valley to see her in it, still seeking the woman's approval.

"Could you help me? You can tell me your story at the same time..."

Valley was certain that Haley just asked her the silliest question she'd ever heard.

"You're, ah..." She smirked, holding back a giggle. "You're asking me if I don't mind rubbing lotion down your back." She took the bottle and tossed it from hand to hand. "Well, it's a terrible burden, but I suppose someone has to do it, so - sure."

Valley sat on the bed side and patted a spot next to her, then started squirting some of the lotion on her hands. "Go ahead and lie down, and don't worry. I'm from California, after all - land of the blazing sun. If there's one thing we know how to do and do well, it's rub lotion on a body."

Though it would be hard to keep her hands from doing more than that - as devastatingly sexy as she was in that number, Valley would have to hold back the lust for a while longer.

Haley smiled softly as Valley sat down. Standing, she slowly stripped off her robe, letting it slide off her shoulders, revealing the thin black lace of her bra and the nearly see through panties, that just barely covered her tight ass. With a noticeable wince of pain, Ace lifted her leg onto the bed, angling it so that she could rub her thigh against Valley's cheek.

"I..oww...I need it on my legs too..."

She said, wincing again as she brought her leg down, willingly going through the pain just to give Valley that gift of her cream colored skin rubbing against her.
Laying on her chest on the bed, she put her pillow under her head and sighed restfully.


"Did you like my collections?"
