Some of you are concerned with Emma losing. But don't seem to have a problem with the rest of the story, so allow me to clarify. I personally have never seen a realistic movie or fantasized anime that has a winner immediately in the beginning. Most athletes have to dig deep and find themselves before they think or become winners and Emma is no different. So give me some time and you'll see the true fighter.

All mistakes are mine I apologize and they will be rectified. Secondly the updates will come once a week again. #BELIEVERWednesdays but I'll let you guys pick a day for BY CHANCE and Lady and the Champ! Enjoy!

Previously on Lady and the Champ:

"Listen I understand that you don't know me or trust me but if it's about Emma I want to know. I never meant to hurt her. I thought she was like everyone else but I was deeply wrong. Miss Swan is like no one I've ever met before and the fact that I hu…" The brunettes next words failed her. She hadn't meant to lie, but it had happened. But if there was a chance to redeem herself and get closer to the blonde, she wouldn't make the same mistake again.

"I made a mistake. I suppose good intentions don't always yield the best result. But I want to make it right. To give Emma the real chance to know me. Just give me the opportunity."

The trainer chewed over the brunettes words as he looked for any sign of prejudice. But when he didn't see any he offered a small smile.

"After that, I think Emma made the right choice. But to understand her story… we have to go back over 10 years ago."

Chapter 7: Drugs and Malevolence

Regina listened attentively as the man grunted. Shifting in his seat unevenly before settling into a more comfortable position. His large hands encompassing his frothed glass. Filled with amber liquid. As he tipped the glass cylinder back and forth. Recalling the events from ten years ago.

"Ten years ago," the salt and peppered haired man started. "Emma ran into a lot of trouble."

Flashback

Mary-Margaret smiled as she looked at her daughter and her girlfriend. The idea had been less than pleasing to her that Emma hadn't chosen a nice boy. But had instead decided upon dating Elsa. A part of her grimaced, she supposed she could have seen it but in honesty she hadn't wanted to.

But who was she to deny her daughters happiness, if that was the person and life she had ordained for herself. The pixie watched as her daughter laughed at something the platinum blonde had said.

Unable to resist her own smile, Mary-Margaret felt as her lips curved upward.

"Alright, alright you two. It's time for you two to head to school." The older woman commanded. As she playfully pushed the high school senior couple out of the door. Watching as the two began their walk.

(Line-Break) *Warning* character in flashback is cruel and malevolent

Elsa teased her long platinum strands with her fingers as they continued their walk to school. Since they had left Emma's home they hadn't really discussed much, leaving Emma to wonder if she had done or said something wrong. The blonde watched as her girlfriend seemed intently interested in the pavement under her feet.

"Els is there something wrong?" Emma asked, unable to bare the silence that had grown between them.

The platinum blonde looked up in surprise at her girlfriend. Giving a feigned smile that she hoped was convincing enough for her lover to believe.

"Of course not, why would you even consider the possibility?"

Grabbing the straps on her backpack forcefully the taller of the two shrugged. "You seem distracted. If there was something wrong you would tell me correct?"

"Yes Emma, I assure you there is nothing wrong." Elsa lied. Returning her attention back to the cracked sidewalk as they neared the front of the school.

Unwilling to let whatever her partner refused to voice, Emma walked faster moving ahead of Elsa. Only to pivot in front of her, bringing the distracted blonde to a halt. As concerned emerald eyes searched longing aqua orbs.

"You have never left me. You have always supported me and stood beside me when I needed it. Please don't shut me out when all I want to do is return the favor. I love you no matter what. So I'll ask again. Elsa. What. Is. Wrong?"

Emma stared at Elsa. Hoping that her words had meant enough, that Elsa could hear the truth ringing in her words. Words that she had meant.

The smaller blonde prepared to answer, when a voice that had been the primary source of Emma's suffering rang out.

"Well, well if it isn't the infamous freak and frozen hero Elsa." Emma felt Elsa tense at the voice, and she could feel her own emotion of anger rising to the surface. "Didn't you two get the memo we don't want your kind around here."

"Why won't you leave us alone we have never bothered you Peter?"

The boy held a hand over his heart in mock pain. "While all true I don't need a reason. Besides you being an abomination and her," he commented pointing over Emma's shoulder. To Elsa who looked on the verge of tears and running, as her body began to shake. "The bad blood between our families gives me enough justification." The blonde stood cemented to her spot, torn between what she wanted to do. A part of her wanted to return to Elsa and comfort her but her other half stood raging.

For years Peter had tormented them relentlessly. Cursing their existence and tossing caution to the wind as he addressed them with every evil themed attempt. And for years Emma had stood by scared of being called out for what she was. Scared to bring her family name further shame. But in had stepped Elsa. Always coming to her rescue, but today she stood still. Unmoving as if a brisk wind would knock her over. Something's not right, Emma announced to herself.

Unaware of Peter who had taken several calculated steps forward. "It would seem our hero has turned sidekick. Where is that cutting tongue you pride yourself on Elsa? You don't have it... and I know why." Emma stared at the young man curiously. Brows furrowed as he leaned against the schools iron gate. "Why Swan you looked confused. Is it perhaps because Elsa hasn't told you the truth? Would you like me to enlighten her," he sneered, directing the question to the unmoving female.

"Els what is he talking about?" She questioned. Looking to the platinum blonde who had wrapped her arms around herself, as if she was cold and on the brink of freezing.

"Stop it."

"You will have to speak up if you wish to be heard Ice Queen." Peter bantered. Needlessly prodding his opponent.

"Stop it." Elsa repeated in a hushed whisper. Emma watched helplessly as Elsa managed to find her footing as she strolled forward, leaving her partner to watch in amazement at the sudden burst of courage. "Stop it." She chanted again. Forcing the pair to watch in wonder as she neared Peter. Before coming to an unexpected stop.

Fear overtook Emma as she watched her lover's knees buckle. She watched in slow motion as Elsa's body leaned forward unable to stop itself from toppling forward. As quickly as she could manage, Emma moved to catch her girlfriend before she could hit the pavement. A mixed emotion of relief and fear clouded the blonde's mind as she bent awkwardly to stop the other woman from falling.

Olive colored irises searched over the unresponsive body in her arms. "Els! Els! Elsa!"

A manical laughter erupted in the air around them. "And to think this was once the prized family. The family that worked so hard to shatter us into existence lays crumbled in your arms. I would call that poetic justice." He laughed. Covering one eye with his palm, as he tipped his head back. His other hand finding purchase in his pants.

Panic and rage flooded Emma, as tears streamed down her face.

"Shut up you bastard. Can't you see somethings wrong? Call for help!" She shouted. Before she returned to rocking and cooing.

"Ill do one better," Peter berated. Waving off the audience that had began to circulate. He was the king of the school, no one dared challenge him or his gang. It was a death sentence physically and socially. Bending down so he remained behind the blonde, he leaned toward her ear.

"This is what happens to people like you. Every time you get close to someone this will happen. This will be your fate. The consequence of the ones who embrace you, will be finding their blood on your hands." He instructed. Smiling at the unadulterated rage he felt emanating off his opponent.

"You bastard…"

"Have a nice day Swan." He instructed as he walked away. Leaving a panicked Emma and a worsening Elsa in his wake.

End Flashback

Regina sat at the each of her seat, clinging to Leroy's every word. Anticipation rising as she waited for the gruff man to continue, only to find their conversation interrupted by an incessant ringing.

"Mr. Leroy the story simply can't end there," Regina huffed in frustration. As she watched the man remove his cellphone, before he held up a finger silencing the brunette.

The VP watched as the man began a new conversation. Giving quick grunts of 'yea's". Before he stopped talking and looked to Regina. Issuing her an evil smile.

" I'll send someone. Thanks Jones."

The brunette suddenly had a sinking feeling.

"Miss Mills I apologize for cutting our time together short, but it would seem your assistance is needed."

"That's not plausible and I didn't offer it."

Leroy laughed as he signaled for the bartender to bring him something to write with. Seconds later the young man surfaced with a black pen, offering it to the older gentleman.

The VP watched as he pulled a napkin free from its holster. And began scribbling across it.

"You didn't offer but you will take this one with a smile."

Regina scoffed at his audacity. "Oh? And why would I do that?" She challenged.

"Because this is your second chance."

(Emma)

The fighter grimaced as the doctor injected her nose with lidocaine. Over and over again. After he adrenaline and anger had simmered down, the pain and disappointment had kicked in. As she sat in Killian truck, holding an old t-shirt to her nose. It was then that everything had sunk in.

Her second loss. Gaining a mentor, only to disappoint and lose them in the same breath. Standing up to Regina. Regina. The name felt bitter on her tongue. She hadn't regretted what she said but she had felt like a hole had been punched through her chest, as she recalled the sound of the brunettes retreating heels.

"Miss Swan? Miss Swan?" The doctor snapped trying to regain her attention.

"Yes I'm sorry?"

"Its quite alright. The drugs have different effects on everyone. It's time I reset your nose. Do you feel this?" The red-head asked as she took a firm hold to Emma's nose.

"No."

"Ill give the medicine another few minutes to kick in before I begin. I'll allow you a chance to make preparations before I begin." Dr. Ariel smiled. Patting the blonde on the leg before she stood and exited the room.

"So Swan, care to explain what's wrong?" Killian asked. Forcing himself off the far wall he was leaning on. As he moved toward the blonde in question.

"Leave it alone K."

"Abso-bloody-lutely not. The girl looked ready to kill you and you took it. Like… like you lost your will to fight."

Emma hung her head in defeat. He was right. Both Lily and Regina had distracted her for completely different reasons.

"Well if you're not going to say anything find your own way home. I thought we were closer then that Swan."

The boxer wanted to responded but was greeted by the boisterous sound of the shutting door.

Emma wanted to call her friend back. To apologize. To try and make it right but how could she. This was her curse, this is what she would deal with for the rest of her life. Pushing people away, to scared to reach out and be hurt again. Or even worst to cause it.

"Is everything okay?" Ariel asked? Leaning around the frame of the door to look at the sullen blonde.

"Yes," Emma lied smoothly. "He is handling my affairs."

Ariel looked questionably at the fighter, but thought it better not to voice her opinion.

"Alright shall we begin?"

"Yes please."

Fifteen minutes and several needle sticks later, Emma was finally ready to go home. Ariel had left instructions with her nurse, after she said goodbye to Emma.

"Alright Miss Swan, the medicine you were given is a very high dosage to help curb the pain of your broken nose. With that being said legally we can't allow you to drive." The nurse continued as the hospital carriers assisted the boxer into a wheel chair. "Normally we would call family but it would seem that arrangements have been made for you."

The blonde only managed a grunt. "Yes, well. Your transport and help for the next 24 hours as been properly informed. She is waiting for you."

Emma managed to shake off her medical induced haze momentarily as she listened carefully to the last sentence the nurse had said.

"She?" The boxer asked.

The nurse nodded. Flipping through the small amount of sheets on her clipboard.

"Yes, um it is a she. We have her listed as one Regina Mills."
