A/N: Thank you to the "guest" review who corrected my translations. I've gone back and fixed them. Should all be right now.
It was the day of the Worlds and Mina was sure she had her team whipped into proper shape. They had never been so good together. She and Pieter had taken a page from the Bellas' book and mixed two songs together. It was partial admiration and partial taunting. The Bellas weren't the only ones who could sing two songs at once.
After their performance on stage, which Mina was very confident about, she and Pieter took DSM to the back and ran into the Bellas preparing to go on next. The crowd was still cheering from their performance and she couldn't help but try to dishearten them a bit and tease Beca.
"You hear that? They chant. For us. But don't cry too hard when you lose. Makes eyes puffy." Mina said as she caressed Beca's cheek.
"Your hands are so soft." Beca nearly whispered.
Mina pulled her hand away. "I'm sorry, I don't speak loser. What did you say?"
Pieter reiterated for her, talking her up a bit in the process. "She actually speaks eight languages and loser is not one of them."
"Everything must come to an end. Even the Bellas." Mina called as they started to walk away.
"Ha! Your sweat smells like cinnamon! Dammit!"
As Mina watched their performance from the side of the stage, unseen by the crowd, she realized whatever had been in the way of their performing over the year was gone now. The Bellas were showing how they had become the national champions three years running tonight. Mina stared when Beca stood in the spotlight alone, singing a song she'd never heard before. No not a song she'd never heard, this was the same song the youngest member began to sing at the riff-off. It was a full song now and they were using it in their performance.
The lights came back up over the whole stage and their ranks had grown. Every Bellas from over the years was on stage it seemed, singing the song with them as if they'd heard it on the radio every day for weeks now. The youngest member finished off the song alone and the Bellas smiled broadly as the crowd cheered three times as loudly for them as they had DSM. Mina knew she'd been beat and she shook her head at Pieter, standing beside her.
Mina and Pieter exited the stage, finding the rest of their team to let them know they'd lost that night. An after party had been planned by some group for the performers and Mina had caught wind that the Bellas would be going. DSM got into their party closes and decided they might as well have fun while they were here. Nothing good ever came from being a sore loser.
Mina entered the room to find Beca and the other Bellas all huddled together in a corner of the makeshift dance floor. She headed in their direction and stopped when Beca caught sight of her too.
"Tiny Mouse, or is it Feisty Mouse?" She teased.
"Told you we'd kick your ass." Beca said, managing not to unintentionally compliment Mina.
Mina smirked. "You did say you were the kicker of ass."
Beca seemed confused by Mina's ability to play nice. "Yeah and I was, so ha!"
Mina chuckled. "You did well today. It's still hard to believe I was bested by a troll."
Beca stared at her for a moment. "Did you actually want something?"
Mina's smirk grew. "Oh yes, but I'm not sure I'll get it."
Beca's eyes widened as Mina looked her up and down. "What is it you want?"
Mina looked back up Beca's body until they were looking in each other's eyes. "Du, meine kleine Maus."
Beca's head jerked back before her eyes gained a look of confidence and she replied. "Dann komm und hol mich, Katze."
Now it was Mina's turn to jerk her head back in surprise. She hadn't expected Beca to reply in near perfect German. "I was unaware you spoke German."
Beca smiled her lopsided smile. "It's not something I advertize."
"And why shouldn't you?"
"No one around here speaks German."
"This is Denmark, many people speak German."
Beca rolled her eyes. "Yeah, ok, I meant where I'm from."
"Was weißt du noch?"
"Sehr viele Dinge"
"That's quite a talented tongue you have there." Mina said.
"I hear you have quite the talented tongue as well." Beca answered.
Mina chuckled darkly. "Hmm. You have no idea."
The dark look in Mina's eyes gave Beca pause, but then she smiled cockily. "Maybe you show give me demonstration."
Mina's eyebrows shot up, followed by Beca's shocked face. Mina smiled darkly a second later.
"How do you do that to me?!" Beca asked.
"A gift." Mina replied.
"Well use it on someone else."
"I have no interest in anyone else at the moment."
Beca thought about her next words. "Why such an interest in me then?"
Mina cocked her head thoughtfully. "I'm not sure. You've held my interest since the first video I watched you in."
"What video was that?" Beca asked.
"The President's birthday performance."
Beca groaned. "Why did that have to be what you watched first? I swear we were much better before that incident." She defended.
"Oh, I am aware. I've watched about every video I could find you in."
"Why would you do that?"
"As I've said, you hold my interest."
Beca watched Mina as Mina watched Beca. Neither made a move to speak or leave, though the other Bellas had long since dispersed to enjoy the party and DSM was milling about as well. The corner they were in was dark now with the party lights having changed to make the song. Beca was almost leaning towards Mina and Mina was just about to lean down towards her when the redhead from the Bellas ran up to them.
Beca jumped back and grabbed ahold of the redhead jumping in front of her. "Chloe, calm down. What's going on?"
"I got the job!" Chloe cheered.
"Job? What job?"
"The teaching job! I'm gonna be a music teacher!"
Beca's expression changed from pinched and confused to excited and smiling. "That's great, Chlo! I'm so happy for you!"
"Thanks! I'm gonna go tell the others now." Chloe bounded away excitedly and Beca turned back to Mina.
"You know, I have no idea what your name is. I've only ever heard people call you Kommissar."
"Mina." She stuck out her hand for Beca to shake.
Beca took her hand and held it a moment before letting go. "Your hands are still really soft."
"Thank you." Mina replied with a smile.
Beca nodded then took a sip from her drink, seemingly unsure of how to continue.
"So what are your plans since winning the World's?" Mina asked.
"L.A. I've got a job there thanks to my boss at my internship. He sent my demo of Legacy's song to a branch there and they want me to work with them."
"Exciting. Legacy, is she the girl with the original song?" Mina asked, taking a sip from her own drink.
"Yeah, her real name is Emily. We just call her Legacy 'cause her mom was a Bella, which makes her a legacy." Beca rambled on.
Mina smiled softly. "I see. It was a good song."
"Thank you. I'll tell her you said so."
Silence fell over them again and Mina was the first to lean forward now. Beca caught the movement and froze, half way to putting her lips on her straw for a drink. Beca's hands slowly dropped as Mina got closer. Mina's lips landed on Beca's and the kiss was slow, but full of fire. Mina didn't want to stop, but Beca pulled back after a moment.
"Whoa. I mean. How did that happen?"
"I kissed you and you let me." Mina said simply.
"Yeah, but… Why?"
"You must have some attraction to me as I do to you."
"Your lips are softer than your hands." Beca said distractedly.
Mina just waited. Waited for Beca to freak out, or explode. Neither happened. Beca simply stood there, looking into each of Mina's eyes.
"What is it, Tiny Mouse?"
"I think I want you to do it again."
Mina hesitated a moment before leaning forward to kiss Beca softly again. Her lips moved over Beca's and Beca's molded to hers. This kiss lasted longer and after a few testing touches, Beca pushed herself more into the kiss. Mina almost moaned at the passion she could feel coming from the tiny brunette. It was Mina who pulled back this time, needing air.
"Wow, Mouse. You sure know how to set a girl's head spinning."
"Chloe said something once about regretting not experimenting in college more. I didn't get it until now." Beca said.
"Mmm. The redhead?"
"Yeah. She's a bit strange sometimes so I kind of blew it off as one of her weird phases."
"Strange how?"
"Well for example, the first time we met, she walked into my shower completely naked."
Mina about spit out her drink. "She what?"
"Yeah, like I said, weird." Beca's thoughts turned internal, though she still spoke aloud. "Maybe I should ask her if she's still interested."
Mina's face twisted as she thought about Beca going to Chloe with her curiosity rather than asking her. Beca must have noticed.
"Unless…"
Mina looked up, eyebrows raised. "Unless?"
"Um, unless you want to."
Mina smiled broadly. "Oh, Mouse. I've done my experimenting and I quite enjoyed it, but I can assist you with yours."
Beca's face flushed bright red, but she nodded slowly. Mina led her away from the party and back to her hotel room just a few blocks away. She gestured for Beca to enter the room before her and then turned to close and lock the door. Mina's eyes were dark as she thought of what they were about to do.
"Keine Sorge, Maus. Ich werde mich um dich kümmern."

The next day Mina was preparing to leave. She and Beca had parted ways with Beca thanking her for their time together. She'd said she'd learned a great deal about herself.
"I never really thought about being with a woman before, but now that I have, I think I like it. Who knows? Maybe I'll find someone else to experiment with in L.A. I hear they're into that kind of thing there."
"Perhaps, Mouse. Or maybe I can visit you in L.A."
Mina had smirked at her before Beca had slipped out of the room, returning to her own room or to find Chloe and tell her where she'd been. Mina pulled out her phone and looked up tickets to L.A. She'd have to wait a few months, but maybe she would try to find Beca there. After all, experiments were more accurate if tested more than once…..
