It was the night before Yona's match against Raven, and after the disaster that was their reunion, Yona is now forcing all of them to practice and train. However, on their way to the gym, the brunette scolded Hazel for even considering killing Raven. Phoebe and Iris had stayed silent, not wanting to get in the crossfire of an angered Yona. The two girls went back and forth, their blue-haired brat trying to justify her actions; Yona slapping her in anger that she didn't seem to understand what she had almost done—to the woman she once loved of all people. To the surprise of Iris and Phoebe, Hazel didn't retaliate, falling into complete silence afterward. The trip from the dining hall to the gymnasium wasn't all that long, but it sure did feel like it, especially for Iris. She was completely uninterested in the entire drama, primarily taking a step back and watching the three argue over it. As they walked through the training room's doors, Phoebe caught up with their red-eyed commander, trying to calm down Yona.
Iris noticed that the two have gotten close lately, but it wasn't exactly her business. It was weird to see the two so giddy whenever they talked to each other, but she also chalked it up to both of them not having many friends. Hazel was too much of a follower of Yona to ever been seen by an equal—Hell, even now, she had been whining to Iris about how upset she was that she pissed off her idol. Iris didn't really pay much attention to her, pretty desensitized to Hazel's weirdly unhinged tendencies. It wasn't even her plan at first to become wrestlers, but Hazel had forced her into it. The purple-haired harlot knew her former classmate had been weird since high school—unpredictable even, now just being downright psychopathic.
Nonetheless, none of them wanted to admit it. However, she was better as an ally than an enemy; she was their powerhouse outside of Yona, and they couldn't let them go so easily.
There was a certain discomfort, as they entered the training room, the two girls sitting on the opposite side of the space from Phoebe and Yona. The two were yapping and whispering stuff to one another, Hazel's eyes glued to Phoebe. It appeared that their blonde leader had managed to cheer up Yona, the two smiling at each other. Iris automatically knew there was something between those two, but even worse, was that Hazel was probably jealous of their friendship. She could see it written all over her soft, baby face. Her brows furrowed, and her lips quivered. Hazel was not over the argument whatsoever, and she surely looked like she wished she could swap positions with Phoebe.
Iris placed an arm around Hazel, shaking her slightly to ease her stress. It wouldn't be long before their Greek bitch of a secondary leader, would force them to work their bodies to the bone, just like she had last time. Expectedly, Yona eventually approached them, ordering them to rotate from weight training, running laps around the room, and professional combat against a few dummies. Iris didn't have her phone on her, so she didn't know how long they had been practicing; it certainly felt longer than it should have, though. It was even worse when Yona, hours later, would request for Iris to get in the ring with Hazel. The drunk Italian, not wanting to be in the crossfire of Hazel's rage, immediately pushed her match over to her 'fearsome' leader.
"Awaahhhh!" Iris yawned, resting her head on Hazel's stiff shoulder, "I'm still too buzzed out of my mindddd, and now I'm exhausteddd, Yonaaaaaa, pleaseeee—give my turn to Phoebe just this onceee."
Yona looked as if she were about to decline her offer, but Phoebe quickly agreed, and remarked that she needed the practice. In a way, she might've been taking her leadership role a bit too seriously, everyone on the team mentally convinced that Yona is the real leader of the group. In fact, it made no sense why she wouldn't be their leader, if she was just going to boss them around all the time. Even so, she let it be, knowing it would be bad to piss off Yona more than she already had been.
Yona rung the bell, Phoebe and Hazel circling the ring, waiting for the other to attack. Hazel quickly tried to imitate Yona, grabbing Phoebe by the hair and driving her fist into their leader's stomach. Phoebe collapsed onto the canvas, leaping away from her as she held her stomach. However, to her surprise, Hazel followed her, throwing a hard kick to her face, the blonde sweetheart slamming into the turnbuckle. She tried to swing a few left and right jabs, but Hazel confidentially dodged them, waiting for an opening to ram her knee into her face. Phoebe grunted, her nose beginning to bleed. She grabbed her knee, trying to flip Hazel on her ass, but she caught herself with the back of her foot, backflipping away from Phoebe. The blonde tried to follow her, and throw an uppercut to try and get one over on her, but she swiftly kicked on the chin and left disoriented enough for Hazel to approach her and punch her in the face. Phoebe spat out blood, Hazel leaping onto her stomach, and continuing to punch in her face repeatedly.
Yona, quickly coming to her friend's aim, shoved Hazel away and let her leave, hoping she'd cool off. She could tell Yona felt bad that she put someone she clearly pissed off to fight Phoebe, who wasn't all that strong, but even so, she disliked Hazel for the same reasons Iris found her weird. In the end, Hazel slapped Phoebe, surprisingly, directing her anger at Yona back to their leader, and storming off to God knows where. Unfortunately for Iris, she had to pick up the slack for their personal brat, the harlot, got pummeled by Yona and Phoebe for the rest of the night.
