Refresher: "Hey asshole, come here.", Lightning was standing proudly, her white-jeans shorts had tiny droplets of blood on them. "Maybe we should have that talk after all.", she took a swig of her drink and quickly strode across the floor to the pool tables.

-Lebreau's Bar-

Amidst all the patrons chattering and getting even more drunk than they already were, the scene between Lightning and Snow barely stood out. There was a constant shuffle of people in an out of the bar. There were greetings and waves from across the dance floor, angry shouts coming from the pool tables, and laughs all around. If someone did a quick look-over of the entire bar, things seemed great. Until you noticed the fight about to happen right in the middle of the crowds of people.

"What? You need me to get Yuj out here?", Snow smirked crossing his arms.

Lightning heard the boy's name and felt her body trembling with rage again. She couldn't stand letting Snow get under her skin so easily.

"Where's your ring sis?", Snow sneered again.

Lightning didn't hesitate, she took a big swig of her alcohol and punched Snow square in the nose. She heard a crack under her knuckles and instantaneously saw blood dripping from the man's nose as he staggered backwards towards the pool table.

"Shit!", Snow winced covering his nose with his hands.

Lightning continued standing there, glaring at the man. Her heart was pounding and the room was practically spinning from all the liquor she consumed, but she took another gulp anyways, and after that she set it down on the nearest table before re-directing her attention.

Snow quickly recovered from his brief moment of weakness and removed his hand from his nose, causing blood to drip down his shirt. He glared at Lightning with ice blue eyes and swung a heavy fist at her. Lightning ducked, dodging it just in time and swung a fist upward, hitting the bottom of Snow's jaw causing him to bite down harshly on his tongue.

Blood dribbled out of his mouth as larger groups of people formed a circle around the two. Snow was getting more and more pissed with each lucky shot the young girl was getting. He walked around the small ring created by the mass of people with a slow steady pace, keeping his eyes focused on Lightning. After a few seconds he rushed towards her, expecting her to duck his swing again. Just as she did he dropped with her and tackled her to the ground. His body landed on top of hers, knocking all the breath out of the woman.

The crowd gasped and broke apart briefly, stunned. Snow had his arm tightly gripped around Lightning's neck, disabling her airway. She was choking for breaths and struggling against Snow's grip. Lebreau watched as more and more people encircled the two. From her position at the bar she could barely see anything. The bartender abandoned her post and broke through the crowd to find Lightning struggling against Snow's rough grip.

Lightning jabbed her elbow into Snow's left side, the same place she had shot him a couple weeks ago, and his grip was lost. She rolled her body to the side and jumped to her feet heaving raspy breaths, and struggling to stand. Snow got up with a tight hand still clutched to his side.

"What's the matter solider?", He smiled in pain. "Can't take a hit anymore?", He added trying to piss the girl off even more.

Lightning's whole world was spinning around her. She wasn't quite sure if it was from all the liquor she consumed, or the lack of air she had in her body still. Lebreau's arms wrapped around the young girl and gently held her up before she could collapse. Snow still strode over to the two, and swung his fist again, bashing Lightning's right eye directly this time. Lebreau nearly dropped Lightning from the force, and before she could react Gadot had his arm tightly locked around Snow's neck and was pulling him back towards the pool tables.

"You're taking this way too far Villiers. What the hell has gotten into you?!", Gadot shouted releasing his friend and harshly pushing his body towards the wall.

Snow stumbled backwards from the force, but recovered and directed his growing anger towards Gadot. He swung again, but Gadot quickly dodged the attack and pinned Snow to the back wall, knocking over several beers in the process. Gadot was pushing Snow's chest roughly against the wall and held his hands tightly behind his back.

"You're gonna quit this shit.", Gadot commanded, tugging harder at the man's hands causing him more discomfort.

On the other side of the bar the blow from Snow's hit caused Lightning's world to shake violently, she was still in Lebreau's arms, but she was laying on the floor. Everything was a visual blur, even sounds weren't coming out clear.

"Claire. Can you hear me? Are you all right?", Lebreau questioned, sitting down on the floor gently pulling Lightning's head into her lap. The entire bar was silent, still encircling the pair. Someone had even managed to cut the music.

Claire could see Lebreau's lips moving, but couldn't make out the sound. All that escaped the brunette woman's lips was a mumble. "What the hell's goin' on here?", Fang shouted entering the bar. She had a faint smile on her face as pairs of eyes turned around to face her.

Lebreau snapped her head to the side, and asked the crowd to let the woman through.

"Shit… Looks like I missed the party eh?", Fang asked weaving her way between men and women seeing drops of blood dotting the floor everywhere. "What-..", The smile on the Pulsian's face disappeared as she finally saw Lebreau, and the pink-haired woman she was clutching in her arms. "Maker… not again.", The woman sighed.

Lebreau's gaze switched from Claire to Fang once the wild woman appeared. She gave her a look of apology as she directed her attention towards the woman in her arms. Fang pieced the story together perfectly one she saw Snow in the back pinned by Gadot. She shook her head and kneeled down next to the two women on the floor.

"Let me see her I'll take her home.", Fang offered holding out her hands for Lightning.

Claire was stirring still, her world was morphed into smudges but things were slowly starting to put themselves together. She noticed Fang come up, then saw her hold out her arms for her. The woman rolled of Lebreau's lap and stumbled to a standing position, facing the opposite way of Snow. She looked to her right, and saw her half empty bottle of Whiskey, and grabbed it.

"Farron. C'mon we have to go home.", Fang stood, putting her hands on her hips.

"Tch.", Lightning smirked. There was some blood dripping down the side of her face from a cut on her temple. Her head was throbbing in pain.

The soldier stood for just a moment more and staggered towards the crowd. They parted easily for the her and she walked through, exiting the entire establishment with her Whiskey in hand.

Fang followed the trail she left through the flock of people and rushed after her outside of the establishment. A cold breeze blew past her as her eyes zeroed in on the soldier with the pink hair. She shivered, jogging to keep up with her.

"Farron," Fang attempted as she was close enough to get a grip on Lightning's arm.

The woman spun around quickly and slapped Fang. She lazily blinked her eyes and nearly tumbled over from the shift in her stance. The solider turned and continued hobbling uneasily down the dark street as a roll of thunder crashed somewhere off in the distance.
