Hearts of War: Wrestling Holiday One-Shots

By Jurassicfatt

Author's Note: Hey everyone. Welcome to the latest addition to the fanfic collection. Inspired by some, I decided to start a holiday one-shots series. Basic premise is different pairings of girls that come to mind, plus requests (I can't promise I'll do all of them, but I can definitely try a few), set during Valentine's themed events. Now, keep in mind though, that they may take place in different universes, so some stories might be more fantasy, sci-fi, or even medieval-based than others, thus the 'of War' part. Please enjoy!

Pairing: Nikki/Carmella, Nikki/Asuka

Rated M: For violence, coarse language, and mature subject matter. Viewer discretion is advised. Remember that this is femslash, so if that's not your thing, you might not like this.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters. They are owned by WWE, AEW, Impact Wrestling, and many other promotions. This story is entirely fictional.

Chapter 1: Call me… crazy?

Nikki's POV, Valentine's Day, Unknown

Valentine's. What a sweet day for some, but a lonely day for others. So many people, without someone to love… Can drive a person mad... Walking through the streets, I think to myself. Little Candice thinks she can handle me. Joining with the Judgement Day won't save you. They think they can control the darkness, *laughs*. They don't know the first thing about it. Bray tried to warn Knight, but he went ahead and joined their gang. So did the Raiders, Damage Control, and so many others. 'Supernatural' powers. PFFT! Don't make me laugh! They decided to start a war with everyone, but don't you think you should have stopped and wondered whether you bit off more than your arse can chew, Finn? Eh? You already challenged the O.C. and The Bloodline, but now everyone else? I'm sure Bray will see to it that you suffer. Numbers mean nothing when you play in the dark…

Oh sweet, sweet Candice. We aren't done yet- not by a longshot. But I'll deal with you soon enough. For now, I've got a few things to hammer out and… two other persons on the mind. Humming to myself, I daydream of those lassies who've caught my eye. They both come from islands, though from very different places. So curious, yet powerful. So strong, yet deceivingly beautiful. They've been the names off everyone's lips over the past month, and I'm so confused on what to do.

The first one just returned to the scene last night. I wasn't expecting to see you at the alcove, but ever since then I've longed so much to see this 'new side' of you. Last I saw, you were broken and left a husk of your true glory. And I, myself, was lost. Rhea destroyed us both. Now, you've risen from the depths, as have I, and become a true 'savior', one I would very much like to… play with.

When our eyes met last night, I knew I'd finally met someone like me. Someone who understands my own re-emergence, and of showing your true self. I knew you wanted to save me from Candice, and I understand. Knocking me unconscious in battle was bold. I promise to repay the favor one day. And after this whole Candice situation is done, perhaps we could talk?

Not sure how the other girl is going to feel about that. She's been with Corey for a while and I, I kind of don't like him. Too shifty. After the explosion yesterday, I really hope she's safe. I know we aren't talking right now, but she still means a lot to me. It's almost like… like she's been purposefully avoiding me. Maybe things are serious between them, but where does that leave us?

It doesn't matter. Judgement Day crossed the line when they hurt them. I'll make every single one of them pay for that. Nobody hurts Nikki's lovelies. Rain drops fall on my head, but I simply twist and turn in the night, letting them roll down my face. My heart fills with glee, thinking of all the wonderful things I'll be doing once I see Rhea. Then, I think of my lovelies, their strength, beauty, and savagery. Their painted faces and unique personalities. Without thinking, I start singing aloud, my own version of the famous song by Redbone:

"Hail, Asuka,

What's the matter with your head, yeah

Hail, Mella,

What's in the matter with your head,

And you sign an-, oh-oh-oh

Hail (Hail), nothin's the matter with my head

Baby find it, come on and find it

Hey yeah, Hey yeah,

Baby take it cause you're fine,

And you're mine, and you look so divine,

Come and get your love!

Come and get your love!"

As I walk past a stop sign, I notice a familiar logo spray-painted on the side of the Alpha Academy gym.

"Judgement Day." I murmur. Looking closer, I see a paper is taped to the door. Going up to it, I grab it and tear it off. Clutching the cold paper in my hands, it reads:

'As of Tuesday, February 14th, 2023, Alpha Academy Gym will only allow members of the Judgement Day to use our facilities. Signed, Chad Gable, Upper Management'.

"They got you too, huh, Gable?" I say scornfully. "Bastards!" I scream, tearing the paper to shreds. Throwing it into the air like confetti, I laugh out loud, before leaving the scene of the crime.

Continuing my trek, I turn the corner, thinking to myself once more. Whatever happened to Lexi? With Braun, Bianca, and the Profits with the O.C., Charlotte with the Bloodline, and Asuka, haha, among 'friends', where shall she go? No way will Bray let her join his unholy alliance. What is to become of my former friend? I-

Screech! Turning, I see a large vehicle with big, blinding bluish headlights and a figure with a long appendage.

"Take this, you crazy bitch!" I hear a familiar Australian voice scream, before I jump out of the way. Unfortunately, Rhea swings something and hits my leg in mid-air. Rolling on the dirty, wet sidewalk, I land face down. I feel a scrape on my knee and pain on my right thigh.

"You got her Mami!" I hear Dominik Mysterio yell happily.

"Great job, Rhea." Damian Priest asserts, in his low booming voice.

"Thanks boys. Job's not done, yet, though." Rhea states, before I hear boots landing in a puddle, the water sloshing out towards my arm. Trying to get up, I turn my head to see Rhea walking up to me. She's wearing a black shirt and gray jeans, and has a black baseball bat in hand, with the blunt end resting on her right shoulder. "Hey, Nikki! Miss me?"

I simply laugh in response. "Hey Rhea. Hehehehe!"

"Wow, you really are a crazy fuck. Almost makes me wonder why you ever stopped doing jobs with me." she questions, touching a finger to her temple. "You need to have some screws loose to give up on this." She then motions to herself.

"Didn't give me much of a choice. And is that why you gave up on Liv?" I ask, laughing again. Rhea takes a breath, before taking her bat and smacking me across the leg again, and again. "Oww! Ahhh!"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up, you fucking bitch!" she yells with venom, hitting my leg for a fifth time. Dominik runs up and puts a hand out. Fuck, the pain. I can already feel welts forming on my leg and tears forming in the corners of my eyes. Blinking them away, I look up to see Dom and Rhea smiling down at me.

"You got her, good, Mami. But Finn wants her alive. She'll make a better message to Bray in a ransom video."

"Bray has no idea who he's messing with. Him, A.J., Edge, Roman, and anyone else who thinks they can challenge the Judgement Day will fall!" she yells, pointing to me with the bat while lacing her other hand with Dominik's. Damian soon joins the two, his imposing figure looking down at me.

"That's right. Rise for the Judgement Day!" he yells, raising his arms up.

"Get her up boys." Rhea instructs. Damian and Dominik grab me by my outfit and stand me up. Rhea puts the bat under my chin. "Should've joined yesterday, Nikki. You had your chance at the sit down."

"Hehehehe!" I laugh out. "*Sniff*, Before or after Finn tried to stab A.J.?"

Poking me in my chest, she gives me a smug look. "You were always a problem. I almost feel sorry for you. Almost." Winding up, Rhea looks ready to hit me with the bat again. Just as she's about to move forward, I hear what sounds like a gun going off.

Bang! Bop! A beanbag hits Rhea square in the face, knocking her towards the ground, onto her hands and knees. Dominik lets me go immediately.

"Mami!" he yells.

"Dom, look out!" Damian warns, as Gallows hits him with the beanbag gun across the back. A huge Thud sounds out, as Dominik screams and whirls in pain. Damian lets me go and I collapse onto the ground, my damaged leg unable to hold my weight. Pulling out his blackjack, he smacks Gallows across the face and kicks him into a garbage can, before I hear someone yell 'Hiya'. Looking up, I see Karl Anderson kicking Damian across the chest, causing him to collide with the brick wall of the building. Rhea, grabbing her jaw, locks eyes with me. I see the bat on the floor. Ignoring the pain, I jump for it, but Rhea's quicker. She grabs the bat and tries to hit me with it. Quickly rolling out of the way, I start punching and clawing at her face.

"Argh! You bitch!" she screams in my ear. I try to fight her, but she's so much bigger and stronger I can't get the leverage. She pushes my body off her with the bat, then puts it against my throat, straddling me as she pushes down on my neck. "I'll kill you."

Putting my hands in front of it, I slide them through, trying to push back the part of the bat that's against my throat. I'm able to put my small hands through, but the pressure is still so intense. Rhea's eyes are determined, staring into my soul with hatred, her cheek red with bruising from the bean bag. I try to roll around, but I'm pinned to the ground beneath her.

"Die!" she yells. I see a hand grab Rhea's face and yank her off me.

Quickly rolling away, I see… Asuka. Her red and blue hair is wild, that signature blue and white clown face paint striking against the dark grainy surroundings of the street. Her blue and black top with matching shorts cling to her as she punches and kicks Rhea hard. Rhea yelps with every shot, unable to block most of Asuka's attacks. Shoving her away, Rhea tries to smack Asuka with the bat, but she dodges and spits blue mist at her, blinding Rhea. Damian throws a garbage can at Asuka, who swiftly dodges it, but he throws another one and it collides with her arms, which barely make it up in time to block the large object. She falls to one knee, giving Damian enough time to grab Rhea, pull her to the pickup they drove in, and shove her in alongside a whining Dominik. Quickly driving off, Asuka shoots a fireball from her hands at the pickup's headlight, causing it to bust, the glass shattering and scattering around. She screams in anger as they drive off.

"Goddamn dirtbags! Where you running, huh? We're still standing, dicks!" Gallows and Anderson yell, Gallows pointing his beanbag gun upwards. He turns to Anderson. "Jumping people just because they're alone and didn't join, but then they run like a dog with its tail between its legs the minute the odds are even." Gallows asserts.

"That's the dang truth of the matter. They know it. We know it. Heck, even that Tribal Chief knows it. Judgement Day is nothing more than the latest gang of losers who think they can control this city."

Asuka bends down to check on me, her head tilted and blue-painted lips pursed as she looks over my leg. I so want to kiss her. I feel a little woozy. Not sure if that's from the shots or the fact that she's so close to me.

"Hi, lovely Empress. So, I guess you're *moan* wondering why I'm not atta-" I start to say, before Asuka places a finger against my lips. Giving me a look of concern, she takes me in her arms and carries me away in another direction, as Gallows and Anderson follow close behind. I cling to her as best as I can with my arms around her neck. My heart is beating hard against my chest. Asuka doesn't stop for a second, going straight towards the O.C.'s Prius. Wait, a Prius? "Hehehe! You guys drive a Prius? Hahaha!" I ask, laughing weakly.

"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up, Nikki. You're lucky we got here when we did. Also, this isn't my car. It's Gallows." Karl explains. Gallows whirls around.

"What? Get out of here. This is Gulak's car." he refutes.

"Yeah, you're right. This is Gulak's car." he says, nodding, before fist-bumping his taller friend. Asuka kicks the door, motioning with her head to me. "Okay! Geez. You didn't have to dent it." Gallows says, before opening the door.

Asuka slowly places me in the seat. Despite me protesting, Asuka gives me another 'don't argue with me' look, before putting my seat belt on me. She quickly runs to the other side and gets in, as the Good Brothers ignite the engine and quickly drive us to the O.C.'s territory. Asuka never takes her eyes off me, chanting as some magic passes over me. My bloody leg, oww… As Asuka continues chanting, I feel my eyes go heavy and close, exhaustion catching up to me.

Nikki's POV, O.C. Territory, Unknown

Waking up, I feel a soft pillow and fluffy blanket surrounding me. The room looks like a typical clinic/hospital room: white sheets, cot, pillows and blanket, bright light from one side, white tiles on the walls and a smooth gray floor. A sheet separates me from another patient. Looking, it seems like I'm the only one here. That is until I turn to my right and see Carmella sitting in a hospital chair, her signature black and orange baseball cap shining under the light. Black and white hoodie with black yoga pants, her eyes are bloodshot and she looks really sad. Suddenly, Mella raises her head up as she notices my stare. She grabs my hand.

"Nikki! You're up. Are you okay?" she asks, her voice breaking and her eyes teary. Smiling, I nod. Mella turns to the door. "Kana! Styles! Kevin! What the hell. I'll be right back, don't you move a muscle, cutie." she starts saying, before getting up and walking into the hall. I can't help but giggle. I really like when she calls me cutie. "Guys, will you get in here! She's up." Carmella sasses.

Turning my head to the door, I watch as Carmella, Asuka- now without her face paint, A.J. Styles, and Kevin Owens walk in. A.J. is the leader of the O.C., one of the main gangs in this part of Stamford. Judgement Day, the rival and expanding gang, the Bloodline, the head crime family in Connecticut, and the O.C. had a public sit down yesterday, with Judgement Day basically telling people to 'choose the right side'. Things have been getting worse, and A.J. was trying to convince 'Prince' Finn Balor, one of his oldest friends and leader of Judgement Day, to stop this. But Finn wasn't having it. He tried to stab A.J. in the shoulder, and all hell broke loose. Bray, the magic caster/rebel leader, wasn't seen, but most people thought he was the one who took out the lights as the brawl started. The Bloodline was present too, but they hightailed it when the fighting started. I'm surprised the O.C. saved me. I'm not exactly the friend type. And why is Asuka, my lovely, Mella, my other lovely, and Kevin, Stamford SWAT leader, of all people, here? I thought he hated A.J. Carmella comes to my side, earning a side glare from Asuka.

"How are you feeling, Nikki?" she asks, concern etched on her face. I always wondered why Mella looked out for me on the streets? When no one else would, she was there. Even when Lexi took me in to show me her spell-casting, Mella kept in contact. Either she's as crackers as I am, or she's got some sort of crush on me. Me! Can you bloody believe it, the crazy girl! We've actually known each other a really long time. We started doing jobs together way back in the day, for Rhea and Charlotte Flair. I remember when we broke into some warehouse to get the most fashionable items around. It was our third job, and I saw a crate with Michael Kors purses, and another with Armani fragrances. Her birthday was coming up, so I took some and hid them in my bag. Showed up at her place with the wrapped up presents and everything, plus some great food. We had so much fun- karaoke, games, you name it. I'll never forget the shocked look on her face when she opened her presents. She was so taken aback she cried tears of joy and hugged me. I hugged back while she kept saying 'Thank you!' and 'I love it' over and over, before she kissed me. At first it was just a peck, and I didn't know what to do. But she kept kissing me, and I was so turned on I confessed I thought she was 'a tanned goddess', which led her to laugh and kiss me some more. One thing led to another and well… Hehehe! If only her neighbour wouldn't have made a noise complaint, I think we would have gone all night. We kept going, but eventually she told me to leave so she wouldn't lose her place. We kept at it for a few more months, but once she started seeing Corey, I heard less and less from her. Looking down, I notice the bandages on my leg. Trying I to get comfy on the bed, I feel some wrapped around my hip as well. "Kana and I patched you up, but you really need to rest. Rhea did a number on your leg."

"Yeah, I remember, Mella." I tell her. Her eyes go wide, before she nods and mouths 'sorry'. With her long brown hair in that black and orange cap, she looks really cute. What? I know she's taken, but can't I at least enjoy her looks? I could have died, let me have this.

"You're lucky it wasn't worse. I'm sorry about Gallows and Anderson. They can be a bit rough around the edges, but they're good at their jobs. And they're good people, once you get to know them." A.J. tells me. I can see the bandage wrapped around the shoulder, where Finn attacked him.

Staring at it, I ask. "Did Finn actually get you?" A.J. nods.

"Lucky shot. He didn't go all the way, but enough to cause some damage. I should be healed up soon, and then they'll be hell to pay. Nobody hits us in a sit-down and gets away with it. I asked for peace and he chose war. I'll keep the option open, but I need to keep this city safe." he argues.

Asuka, who goes by Kana when she's not using her Oni form, comes up to me and checks my temperature, then pours me a glass of water. I smile while Carmella narrows her eyes. Kana turns around and hands me the glass, looks at Mella, and sticks out her tongue, before saying one word to me. "Drink."

Taking the glass, I slowly sip, feeling a bit of pain when I swallow. Kana's been a friend for a while. She's a single mom from Osaka, Japan. She joined Rhea's group when Bray went missing, and we all did jobs together. We always wondered why she called herself 'the Empress'. She was very secretive about it, until one day, she changed into her Oni form. Once she does, Kana is no more- only Asuka remains. Asuka can conjure powerful spells. I once saw her throw someone into a flagpole with a flick of her finger. Even though she doesn't speak much English, Kana would come in to check on me when I was getting lockpicks, usually in revealing clothing. When Mella stopped talking to me, Kana and I started hanging out more. We'd laugh, go on jobs, and sometimes, when the power at the warehouse went out, we'd rig the generator, put her daughter in the warmest room with lots of blankets, and cuddle near the office heater. Yes, we made out a few times, okay.

When Rhea betrayed me, I was so torn. She kicked me off a platform and I landed badly on my shoulder. I was in the hospital for a while. Kana visited me once. She looked nervous, barely able to speak. Kana had a daughter, and she needed the money, so she stayed with Rhea's group. The day she visited, she kissed me and left. When Mella arrived and saw me in those casts, she cried and cried. I'd never seen her so distraught. She wanted to kill Rhea. Mella eventually went back to Corey, but she was there for me when no one else was. It was only after I heard about Rhea breaking Kana's leg that I tried to reach out. I never received a reply. And then yesterday, at the sit down, Asuka arrived, looking as beautiful and radiant as ever. She knocked me out, but I woke up on a memory foam mattress far from the violence. She left a note that said 'I'm sorry I never called back, Kana'. Going back to reality, I notice Kevin looks a little uneasy, resting a hand on his chin and beard.

"Is it a good idea to give Nikki a glass?" he asks, turning to A.J.

"It's fine. She might be crazy, but she isn't nuts. She'll behave if she knows what's good for her." he explains. Kevin stares at him with furrowed brows, before taking a breath.

Finally finishing my glass, I turn to Kana. "Thank you, Kana." I tell her, batting my eyelashes. She smiles widely at me. Kana grabs my right hand with her left, squeezing it.

Mella huffs and rolls her eyes, turning away. Taking my left hand and tugging at her sleeve, she turns back and I grab her hand with my left. Touching a hand to her chest, I smile, which causes her to give me a small grin in return.

"Now, Nikki-"

"Why'd ya save me, Mr. A.J. Styles? Why did the O.C. come save my arse from the Judgement Day? You took a risk, going at them in a border area." I ask him.

"So did they when they took a shot at me, but here we are." A.J. explains, showing off his bandages. "And any girl with enough balls to go stealing Judgement Day crates and burning their outposts, by herself, in the middle of the night, will get my attention."

"Nikki, you promised you wouldn't do that anymore." Carmella scolds me. I grasp her hand.

"Oh, Mella. I didn't know you cared so much." I tease, causing her to blush and tense up. Kana stares at her with a raised brow.

"Of course, I do! I never said-"

"Enough, lovebirds." A.J. cuts in. "The point is, we need every person who's willing to stand up to Judgement Day on our side. I've reached out to everyone I can. The Bloodline aren't budging. They're either scared or don't realize what kind of threat they're posing, especially with Balor at full strength."

"Yeah, Balor's a bad caster. He's taken out most of my guys and landed them in ICUs." Kevin explains.

"Then why are you here? I thought you hated us?" I ask Kevin.

"Yeah, I was wondering the same thing." Carmella questions.

"I did hate you. You were breaking the law. But not everything you do is bad, and right now, Stamford needs SWAT working with whoever's trying to keep this place alive. Police are too busy dealing with spellcasters who affect Bloodline business. Meanwhile, Judgement Day's forcing businesses to give them money and slowly eating up every operation in town." he tells me.

"We also made a deal with Bray." A.J. drops on me. Bray? Bray Wyatt? Why in the world would he work with A.J. and Kevin? "He asked for us to protect a list of people, and any caster we could find. You're on the list."

"But I'm not a caster." I question, Kana squeezing my hand for comfort.

"But you were with InSanity. So, Bray trusts you, if that makes any sense. You've also supported him on quite a few occasions. And, to be honest, when you're not kicking the shit out of my guys off-duty, you're not bad for the community." Kevin acknowledges.

"So, you're saying you think the crazy girl is okay, Kevin? Hehehehe! Are we best friends now?"

"I wouldn't go that far, Nikki." Kevin asserts.

"You're not crazy, Nikki. Just, a little eccentric." Carmella tells me. Kana nods and rubs her thumb over my knuckles. Mella copies the gesture.

"The O.C., the SWAT, and Bray are going to take Judgement Day down."

"What if they join the Bloodline?" I ask.

"They won't. We already found out they plan to take Roman down and steal his fortune to fund their takeover. And the Bloodline won't accept anyone but family at the top of their business. Finn doesn't play second fiddle to anyone." A.J. clarifies. "So, what do you say? You want to join this alliance?"

I look between all of them. "Mella? What about Corey?"

"Pfft! What about him? He left me for dead yesterday when he joined those freaks and helped blow up the building. I would have died in that explosion, if it hadn't been for Kana and Beth." she explains.

Turning to Kana, I smile. "You joined, too?" Kana nods.

"Better for me and my daughter. Io was my friend. No more." she says in broken English. Io joined the Judgement Day, yesterday, too, after Bayley switched sides.

I turn to A.J. "Okay. Guess I'm in, then. I can't leave these two by themselves without either of them trying to claw each other to death."

Carmella rolls her eyes and Kana chuckles. A.J. nods. "Great news."

"We're still in the minority, here, though, Styles." Kevin acknowledges.

"Numbers aren't everything. We have the better people." I argue. Carmella and Kana smile, squeezing my hands.

"Haha. One hell of a slogan there, Nikki." A.J. admits.

"That… that might be the most uplifting thing I've ever heard you say." Kevin remarks.

"Really? Cause I can just talk about how we besties are going to go on fashion dates together. Do you like Reese's pieces? I do. Maybe we'll hit a candy shop." I say excitedly. Kevin stares at me blankly. "A small grocer, then?" Kevin walks away, without saying a word. "A 7/11? Okay! Bye bestie!"

"Nikki, I'm glad you enjoy poking fun, but we really got to get this alliance working." A.J. asserts.

"No problem. I always like poking people, especially with twizzlers. But, to be truthful, the fact he kept his cool means he won't let the shit those Judgement dorks say get to him. If he's on our side, I'm cool with him." I explain.

"Good. You get some rest, now, alright? Doctor Jefferson will be here soon to check on you. Mella, Kana, you better give her some time to heal." They both nod.

"Nikki?" Mella asks, causing me to turn my head. She bends down and kisses me on the cheek. The gesture brings a warm fuzzy feeling to my cheek and stomach. "Get better, okay? Your bestie is here if you need me."

"Thanks Mella." I feel someone tug my other arm. Then, a hand comes under my chin and turns my head to the right. Kana gently grabs my face and, without warning, kisses me. Her lips, quick but firmly planted on mine, elicit a shocked moan from me. Closing my eyes, Kana sucks my bottom lip into her mouth, then breaks the kiss by slowly pulling back from it.

"Wuh, wuh, wuh! Hehehe, soft lips." I murmur, causing Kana to snicker, and Mella to snarl.

"I'm here if you need me. Just call." Kana tells me with a devilish grin, her eyes flashing pink for a second, showing her Oni is fighting for control.

"Oh no you don't!" Mella argues, before turning my head and kissing me with all she has. My eyes go wide, before slowly closing. Her tongue passes between my lips, lightly touching my own, making me moan in shock again. Enjoying the moment, she gives me one more peck before pulling away and licking her lips. "Mmm. You know where to find me."

"Woah, hehehe! I'm tingly all over now." Seriously? What a lucky little lassie, I am.

Kana stamps her foot, Mella giving her an eyebrow raise in response. Kana growls in her throat, and Mella lifts her hand, putting her palm in Kana's direction as a way of insulting her. Kana looks like she's about to jump Mella, and as much as watching them fight might be kind of hot, I've got to stop this.

"Girls!" I shout. Carmella and Kana look at me. "I really liked your kisses, but can you guys not fight? I promise to call both of you in when I feel better." I tell them, holding out both of my pinkies towards them "But please, promise me you won't fight over little old me anymore, okay? We can figure out what's going on between the three of us when we're not in mortal danger."

Mella and Kana look at each other, then back at me. Nodding, Kana links her pinky with mine, before we both turn to Mella. Taking a breath, Mella soon follows suit, linking pinkies with my free hand.

"Now with each other."

Looking at each other, they then link pinkies. "There. Happy, Nikki?" Mella asks, while Kana gives me a questioning look.

"Much better, thank you." I tell them sweetly.

"Good job, Nikki. You're literally impressing me with your maturity." A.J. claims, before holding the door open. "Come on, you two. Nikki needs her beauty sleep."

"She always looks good." Kana argues, before blowing me a kiss.

"That we can agree on. Happy Valentine's Day, Nikki." Mella says, before blowing her own kiss and walking out with her.

Resting my head, I smile. Judgement Day must be handled. Rhea and the Judgement dicks nearly ended both of my lovelies, and I couldn't think of two people I'd rather put my life on the line for than them. I'll support Bray all the way, and if A.J., Kevin, and the rest of them are with us, then I say: let the War Games begin!
