Cruelty meets Subjugation.

Hyacinth's grip was firm on the woman's wrist and she just glared into the woman's eyes, seeing nothing but a threat to her mistress and was ready to rip this woman apart when her mistress' voice cut the tension like a hot knife through butter. Hyacinth's grip loosened and then let go of the woman, retreating behind Juno and bowing her head a little and closed her eyes as she feared she had just upset her mistress. She remained behind her mistress and let her speak, refusing to move or speak unless Juno said it was okay. She just kept her sight locked on the woman and waited for the moment to strike if this woman made any moves on Juno. She also kept her eyes locked on the man that had been watching the whole situation unfold and smirked. Yes he was big, but there was no way he would get to Juno. Hyacinth could easily dispatch this man without breaking a sweat and still have time to massage Juno's sore muscles. She just smiled and waited for something to happen...waiting for the right moment to strike when given the order from Juno.

And here she thought she was going to be in a place where she wouldn't be getting stuff like this. Chloe obviously wasn't having anything with what this crazy woman was trying to pull. She came for a roller. Not for this.

In her own mind, she was counting down, mentally prepared for whatever trouble that could happen. It wasn't like she didn't know how to defend herself. Plus, the hulking brute was there to protect her, noticing what has happened and made his way down, dropping the dumbell with a thump. Not that she couldn't handle this woman, but this was a two on one situation. Might as well even out the odds.

Soon as she mentally counted one, the bluenette would call her "friend" to release her. Which she did without any hesitation. Shaking her wrist, she waved him off, a simple signal for him to halt, however, be alert for whatever still. The ex-commissioner glared, wondering what the deal was for such an overreaction from this Hyacinth woman.

The bluenette nurse would indeed hand Chloe the roller, one who she doesn't have name to put to a face. The question itself wouldn't be much that would cause consern to the blonde. What did is when she looked up into her eyes. Something about them that doesn't excatly look...normal. Her mind came up with a few assumptions but it wouldn't be far fetched to say Hyacinth took a role of a slave and this other woman the mistress. She could see that dynamic from a mile away, made obvious by the crazy woman herself. There was a brief pause for a while, before she would then take the foam roller from the taller blue-haired woman.

"Ummm...well thanks." She played off someone who was clueless, puzzled but also someone who didn't want to get involved any further. Not waiting till she was dismissed either (probably would have been something this Hyacinth woman had mentioned), Chloe would move away from them, giving another glancing look at the supposed slave. "Frickin' weirdo." She quietly muttered out of earshot, but inside she was rightfully suspicious about them. Perhaps a few investigations are in order. For now though, she would move back to her corner, with the bodyguard picking up the dumbell from the floor. Hopefully, all normality will be restored.... hopefully.

The Nurse would watch the new girl walk of, her perplexed expression meeting Hyacinth’s violent glare and the Nurse’s happy wave goodbye. The blue haired woman had little idea who this woman was, or why she was walking around with such a muscle head. The way he acted when she looked like they were in aa confrontation, they were either very strange lovers…or perhaps…some sort of partnership? Much like the Nurse was with Hyacinth, this woman seemed to have control over the man completely…it made her just a bit jealous.

Hyacinth was loyal indeed but the Nurse was beginning to have doubts of her abilities even as an expendable pawn. The serum coursing through her veins should have given her a boost in her metabolism, and made it to where she could grow a bit of extra muscle just by walking around and lifting everyday items. Essentially, the longer it was in her, the stronger she would be up to a certain point. But the serum was still fresh in her blood, and Hyacinth never really was the muscular type. Compared to the other woman’s servant, Hyacinth was half the intimidation factor, and therefore not nearly as effective for the Nurse’s plans.

The blue haired woman wanted what she couldn’t have, and she was aware of that. She had no more serum with her to recruit such an imposing figure, and there was no way she could separate him from his master. The Nurse was a lot of things, but she would never use her lover’s money for something such as this…and if the man was in a relationship with that woman? No way she could pry them apart.

She needed to reconfirm that Hyacinth was right for her plans. The last thing she needed was her pesky little shadow to fall over dead as soon as she fought her target without even mentioning who sent her. What was the point of sending Hyacinth unless the Nurse got the credit in doing so?

A test was in order…and she had found a suitable enough candidate.

The Nurse had made up her mind. Giving herself and excited nod and a warm giggle, she turned around towards Hyacinth.

“Hyacinth, I’ll be right back, alright?”

Naturally, the Nurse left without even noticing if her goombah actually responded. Her empty eyes, like a person who had seen death a few too many times, made it quite clear she did not want to be followed. She turned and made a path through the gym goers, well and far away from the woman and her male friend. Further and further away the Nurse went, until she up and left the gym all together. The front door opened up, and she was gone.

The nurse would be gone for several minutes, letting Hyacinth stew about on her own to think about whatever it was she wanted to think. Some may have compared it to leaving a child unattended in a strange place…but in this particular situation, that would be a bit of a stretch.

--

Almost ten minutes in total would pass before the Nurse reappeared, walking through the front door once again, this time with two water bottles in hand. She made it through the crowded gym floor with ease…but this time she was noticeably much closer to the man and woman from before.

“Look Hyacinth~ They had some flavored water on sale today in the store next door~ Do you want the dark berry cherry? Or the Mango smooth-Eh?”

Suddenly, just as she was passing the man, the Nurse slipped. Her smile finally disappeared from her face as her body seemed to fall backwards…right on top of the man. Her arm was quick, and his neck exposed. To Make it seem as natural as possible, the Nurse used her arm to deliver the blow right into the center of the hulk’s neck. The Nurse was well aware that too much force could paralysis or even kill the man!

But if she can’t have it, then no one will~

The fall was all to disguise the subtle attack, with the Nurse delivering a blow mighty enough to seriously injure a trained fighter that had their defense up. An unaware target? There was little doubt what would happen next.

The nurse would sit up, acting as if she were a bit hurt, and doing a rather convincing job of it. The water bottles would roll quietly across the floor, the Nurse reaching out for one before acting as if she had forgotten she bumped into someone.

“Oh my…are you alright?~”

Hyacinth's gaze drifted to the floor and at her feet as Juno left the gym. The second she heard her return, she smiled happily and clapped her hands together, but right as she was about to answer, she saw Juno go down and before she was halfway to the ground, Hyacinth was already on the move, pushing the large man aside with ease and kneeling beside the nurse, "Mistress Juno, are you alright? Are you hurt at all?" Hyacinth asked as she offered her body to Juno to use as a sort of makeshift banister to help her rise to her feet. She had no idea what had just happened, but suddenly her thoughts were filled with rage and she turned to look at the woman who was left standing, a low growl emitting from her throat as she stared her down, "Just say the word and I'll rip this woman's head clean from her shoulders my mistress." she whispered softly, the sunlight giving the illusion of small flames dancing in her eyes as she stared the woman down, waiting for her orders on what action should be taken next to gain vengeance for such an action. Hyacinth just couldn't believe that someone would have the audacity to trip her mistress, an action that was surely unforgivable. Hyacinth began examining Juno's body, "Where does it hurt? Do you need ice?" she said a little louder, trying to hide the threat she had just made towards the blonde woman as she placed Juno's arm around her shoulders,.

That was weird.

But should be the end of it as Chloe went back to her own little corner, her bodyguard picking up the previously dropped dumbell before getting back to her own stretches, now having the foam roller added to ease her muscles. She still has gotten a weird vibe from those two people. Hyacinth more so but that bluenette...there was something but couldn't put her finger on it. She'll have to do some research later. But for now, she paid no heed to them and focused on what she came here to do.

Few minutes have passed and Chloe got most of those exercises done, the bodyguard has broken a sweat a bit. She only just noticed the woman from before coming back but only gave a quick glance before turning away, paying no attention, although she was looking to head in their direction. A second later, however, Chloe would hear a scream and a clatter, soon finding two bodies down. One was the woman with the blue hair and the other was her bodyguard. With a concerned look in her face, Chloe would move to him, nudging him, her mind racing to figure out what had happened. "Nate, wake up. Nate? Nate??" He wasn't responding. He didn't die but rather knocked out. The crazy woman would tend to the other body and Chloe looked around. How exactly did the two of them fall like that, with her bodyguard taking the worst of it? It just didn't make much sense. But she looked at the suspicious women...

And she was not happy.

"What the heck is wrong with you!?" She said with an annoyed tone, looking at the woman and back to the unconscious man. "You...Is this you're doing?" She looked back at her, with her finger pointing towards her, standing up and looming over the two women!

The poor man dropped like a ton of bricks. He didn’t even see it coming, and was but wheat to the cold, uncaring sickle that was the Nurse. As planned, Hyacinth immediately rushed to her rescue, being a kind and doting slave while also threatening the woman who had nothing to do with the situation as if it were all her own fault. What a useful puppet she was turning out to be.

“I…I think I slipped Hyacinth. I should be okay, but I do think I hurt my arm on something.”

The Nurse looked over towards her victim, and the woman who was with him. She nudged him once, twice, but there was no response. The man named Nate was out like a light, and wouldn’t come back for some time. Naturally, her concern for her friend turned to anger towards the two women, and the roller woman was suddenly standing above both of them, angrily accusing them of a misdeed and pointing at the Nurse with an accusatory finger…

Exactly as I planned.

“Oh No! Look out Hyacinth! She is going to hit me!”

The Nurse covered her face, as if weeping, or trying to hide from an incoming blow while purposefully stirring her partner up for a violent altercation. If Chloe was vigilant enough, she could see the Nurse’s eye peek out from between her finger, wondering about the carnage she had just begun to stir.

Spoiler:

Hyacinth cradled the nurse in her arms, trying to tend to any of her injuries, ”Do you need an ice pack my lady? What can I...” she started, but as soon as Hyacinth saw the look of fear on Juno’s face, she didn’t need her to finish her sentence. She balled her fists and quickly spun around, lunching a fist towards the woman’s jawline. If she were to connect, Hyacinth would then follow up with a flurry of punches and kicks before spinning and attempting to put her foot into Chloe’s midsection, trying to knock the wind out of her as well as push her away before going back to tend to Juno, taking off her shirt and wrapping one of the cold drinks in it before placing it over the arm that she said hurt. Her eyes seemed to be ablaze with a blue flame as she slowly started to calm down, brushing some of the blond streaks in her hair from her face as she continued to attend Juno, "Mistress...?" she looked up at her, a look of concern now reappearing on her face.

Chloe certainly had her suspicions and they would rise as she looked right back at the Nurse. Her bodyguard would not have done something like attacking Juno unless if he saw she would be a massive threat to Chloe. Plus Chloe hasn’t done a thing, and yet this crazy woman would come in thinking she was the one that did such a thing. Obviously, somebody needs to get her head screwed in. But she now has to deal with this issue and get to the bottom of this, which was hard considering she was focused on Juno. The nurse would suddenly cower in fear, Chloe noticing the eye that remained uncovered…confirming most of her suspicions…only for both women would play into her hands, Hyacinth would throw a punch right towards Chloe, striking right into the jaw.

Grunting in pain, Hyacinth would go ballistic on the blonde, Chloe bringing her arms to block the flurry of punches and kicks. She certainly wasn’t looking to fight when she came to this gym but somehow she was ended up in one with this bitch. A spinning kick is something she would catch and would bring her arms down and one knee up to block and take the impact, stumbling back, almost tripping over the foam roller! She would rock her jaw side to side. If she wasn’t mad at Hyacinth then she would admire that good punch. Possibly trained, that was for certain. But as Hyacinth is tending to Juno, Chloe would step back in towards her, wiping her chin with her thumb. A fight she wanted? She was gonna get one then. Stepping behind, Chloe would spin, pivoting on her left barefoot and aiming her right heel to drive into the temple, just a little payback for going agro on her!

Before Chloe's strike could find it's mark, Hyacinth broke into a blur of motion, almost like water pouring into a cup. She brought a hand up to lift the woman's leg high above her before her free hand shot out and caught her in the midsection. Should the strike connect, she would then follow up with a rising knee to the face before she would move in to mount the woman's chest, pinning her arms down with her knees and looking back at Juno, her look almost asking Juno to give her the word to turn this insolent parasite's lights off for good before suddenly sirens could be heard as an ambulance pulled in and immedietly started attending to the fallen man. Hyacinth would then dismount Chloe and slowly back up towards Juno, watching the people with suspicion as she slowly turned toward her, "Follow my lead." She said softly and leaned in, kissing her deeply. As soon as police started showing up, Hyacinth slowly helped her up and gently escorted her outside the building. As soon as a police officer came up to them, Hyacinth immedietly held Juno close to herself, "Please officer, my partner...she fell and hurt her arm really badly, I need to get her to a hospital..." some tears rolled down her cheeks as she feigned shock. Her grip tightening around Juno just enough to show the officer that she wouldn't leave her and so he stepped aside before heading inside the building and Hyacinth led Juno to her car.

The Nurse watched the quick display of combat with only a mild look of amusement on her face. Her smile was more out of polit courtesy rather any true joy, despite causing such feverish violence. Instead, her eyes drifted towards the downed body guard, her mind running wild with all of the possibilities that could open up to her if she had such a force of soldiers under her own command. But those were thoughts for another day. At the moment, the fight seemed to be wrapping up, with Hyacinth looking up at her master like that of a dog waiting for the order to eat. A well-trained mutt, but still a mutt nonetheless.

Soon sirens could be heard off in the distance. No doubt for the man barely breathing on the floor at the moment. That was probably a good cue to leave. As Juno began to rise to do just that, Hyacinth grew bold and stated she had a plan. He dog moved in closer to kiss it’s master, but finding no affection in return. The Nurse’s empty eyes stared at Hyacinth with a sense of displeasure, and before the slave could move away, Hyacinth would feel a hot lash across her hand. Blood began to drip from the open cut on her palm, and the Nurse hid the scalpel blade back in its protective case. She had just cut Hyacinth, but it was so subtle and quick, no one could really see it but the poor woman herself.

“Sweetie…Don’t you ever kiss me again…if you do, I’ll make sure you never do it again, even if that means I have to manually remove your wretched lips from your body…are we clear?!”

The empty void in the Nurse’s eye was great for letting Hyacinth know that her master meant every word that she said. No jokes, no threats…only promises.

The cold, blank and hostile face quickly softened into the sweet motherly expression that the monstrous personality seemed to cling to returned. Pushing Hyacinth aside, The Nurse simply smiled at Chloe, as though she were her own sweet little child.

“My my, what a mess we have made…Perhaps there is something we can do to fix this for you?” The Nurse said, as she reached inside a pocket and retrieved a card. It had no markings, no titles. Just a simple phone number, “Whenever you wish for an appointment, please just call that Number…my assistant and I will see you personally~”
