Was trying to get this out sooner. A bit of slash in this chapter. Thank you for the suggestions and your comments. Please review!

The warehouse space was looking more like a personal gym by every passing day; Miranda helped get exactly what was needed. She even quit her job, much to her coworker's and boss's surprise. The warehouse was acting as her safe house now, she took everything she needed from her apartment and left the rest, creating an illusion that she was still living there. Making sure she wasn't being followed to the warehouse, or 'Headquarters' as Mindy called it, she had to be smart about which way she took to get there on foot.

Mindy was happy to have a workout partner, maybe Night Bitch would be the sidekick for her even though she never really dreamed of having a sidekick, in fact it was a lot easier for her to be on her own most of the time but this could be a much needed change. She had everything set up at the gym, weights, workout mats, a few targets for throwing knives. She went back to the alley for her motorcycle and other supplies while wearing the black wig and sunglasses Miranda gave her. She just needed to work on her costume.

The week they began their training, Mindy decided not to go soft on Miranda, she told her she would be waking up 5am sharp, get her clothes on and join her in the gym. Miranda did so since she really didn't want to see Mindy mad at her, she knew just how serious she would be about her punctuality. Mindy was doing stretches once Miranda entered, "You're late."

"Late?", Miranda questioned; she started her day as instructed.

"Not good for your first day."

"You said wake up at 5."

"Yes. But I got up and I didn't take twenty minutes getting ready."

"I'm sorry it won't happen again, Mindy", said Miranda, she got into position next to her.

Mindy watched her stretch, she wasn't impressed by what she saw, "Here, watch me." She showed her how she performed her warmup stretches. Miranda watched her stretch her arms and sway her torso, next she followed her in sitting on the floor and stretching her legs. Mindy saw just how flexible she was, she was a former ballet teacher after all. Miranda demonstrated that she could lift her leg up over her head which even Mindy couldn't do as good. They did laps for a bit, Miranda struggled to keep up with Mindy. Next they pumped iron, Miranda wanted to see just how much she was capable of lifting, not as much as Mindy. She saw her barely break a sweat lifting close to 100 lbs on the bench. She decided to lift 5 lb dumbbells instead. They were competing when it came to skipping rope, both working up quite a sweat, Mindy watched as Miranda's abs glistened, she wasn't sure why it was so hard to take her eyes off them and her legs. They took a break and sat on a bench.

Miranda was eager to know something, it had been bugging her since that night, "Mindy, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Do you like girls?"

Mindy was confused by what Miranda was getting at, "What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean."

"Well, no, I mean as far as I know I like boys." She was trying to think about the last time she even felt anything for a boy. She didn't dare bring up the time she kissed Dave to her, just in case it might upset her, it wasn't like she had those kinds of feelings toward him any way, it was a thrill though. "Why, do you?"

"Well, I am curious. I mean, I've thought about what it would be like. Every girl does I guess."

"Well, I haven't. Why are you even asking me this?"

"I just…I don't know…", she didn't want to bring up the night Mindy copped a feel, she decided to leave it alone.

"Well, if you're done being weird, let's get back to work." They got up off the floor, that's when Mindy had an idea, "I think you should try to hit me."

Miranda lifted an eyebrow, "What?"

"I want you to try and hit me."

Miranda hesitated but eventually built up the nerve to lift up her fists and attempt to strike Mindy but was quickly blocked. Mindy kept encouraging her to try again, each time having her blows blocked by Mindy's lightning fast hands. She was almost ready to give up when she got the idea to use her best weapons; she surprise attacked her with a few high kicks causing Mindy to back away, ducking and attempted blocking her with her arms out. Without warning, Miranda spun around and kicked Mindy off her feet, she landed on her back on one of the mats. Miranda got on top of her and held her down. "I knew I'd get you on your back!", she smirked. Mindy tried not to laugh, she wanted to be serious about the training. Before Miranda knew it, she was flipped over on to her back, Mindy made sure she wasn't going any where. A funny thing happened though, it was as if time had stopped once she looked into Miranda's eyes. She felt suddenly weak, she could feel knots in her stomach, it was so different. She got off of her and stood up. She tried to ignore whatever it was that just happened.

"I think that was a good workout. Let's hit the showers!", Mindy said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"That sounds good right about now."

There was an old shower room and changing room, kind of like they would have at any gym with no separation or privacy. "Don't drop the soap", Mindy laughed. Miranda was a little nervous at first to be going in and showering with her young companion but decided that there really wouldn't be anything to worry about. The shower room was small and a little cold. Both girls had their backs turned to one another as they undressed. Mindy did find it a bit awkward being exposed in the same room with another woman, especially after being asked if she liked girls. She kept looking over her shoulder, making sure she wasn't peeking.

"Hey, do you mind getting my back?", Miranda asked as she was soaping up.

Mindy thought about her request for a second, "...Sure..." She walked over, trying not to get a good look at her ass. She took Miranda's wash cloth and washed her back.

"Ah...that's better...So, have you thought of any ideas for your costume?"

Mindy found it hard to concentrate on anything else besides Miranda's back, "Uh...not really."

"I'll help you. I know you will think of something, you just need some inspiration."

"Don't look at her ass, Mindy! What are you doing?!"

"Yeah, that would be good."

"Do you want me to do your back?"

"Um...yeah sure." Mindy turned around and let Miranda soap up her hands and massage her back, "Wow, that feels good!"

"You really know how to move. I think you'd make a great ballerina."

"Y-you really think so?", asked Mindy.

"Well, yeah, you've certainly got the legs for it."

"Thanks, you've got really nice legs!...I mean, well you know for dancing."

Miranda laughed, "Sure, sure. You've got quite a nice ass!"

Mindy couldn't control herself from laughing, "Oh, yeah?"

"Yes. Sorry, it's hard not to notice it."

"Are you saying it's huge?!"

"What, no, maybe not huge but a tad bit bigger than mine", she said mischievously.

"I don't think so!"

"I'm sorry, Mindy, I didn't mean to upset you."

"I am so whipping you with a towel once we're out of here!"

Both girls were laughing hard now; after rinsing off Miranda couldn't help herself, while Mindy was wiping her face she went up behind her and spanked her hard on the ass and ran out of the room. Mindy screamed, she ran after her, taking her towel and preparing to do what she was only joking about. Mindy snapped her ass with her towel, "AH! Mindy, that's not cool!"

"You asked for it!", Mindy wrapped the towel around herself but not before Miranda whipped her with the towel, "AH! Okay! Truce! That stings" She was wondering if she managed to catch much more of a glimpse of her naked body.

"She's such a weirdo! Why is she doing this?"

"Maybe I'll get you on your back tomorrow, too, Mindy", Miranda called as she left the changing room.

Hope you like it! I'll be posting another soon. Any suggestions on what else I can do is appreciated!
