VANESSA'S POV

When we reached their someone else was already fighting their. A boy and a girl. I'm not sure but that girl seemed familiar.

Could she be related to my past. Was the only thing on my mind.

But I erased that thought as soon as I saw her face. Its her. I took a deep breath pushing away the cruel memories.

Take a deep breath, suppress you emotions. I say to myself.

"You know them." Victoria asked more like stated. She is observant.

"No, not them. Only her." I said watching her fight. Analysing her moves.

She went to punch his face but he blocked her punch and grabbed her hand pulling her towards him with her back towards him. She smirked, he fell into her trap. Seeing she couldn't escape his grip, she started grinding on him.

He loosened his grip on her she took the chance to grab his hand and twisted it behind his back and kicked him in his shin causing him to fall on his knees. She put pressure on his backbone with her knees, causing him to fall flat on his face and to grunt in pain. He admitted his lose, she let go of his hand and he stood up and came down the ring, not before shooting her a glare.

"That was brilliant." Victoria succinctly said beside me.

"I know. Fight smart not hard. I wonder what her situation will be if he was a gay. If he didn't stare at her like he wanted her, I don't think she would've seduced him." I said.

Victoria never liked fighting in the ring she only likes to bet and watch. She doesn't want to hurt them. These fights are brutal and that she doesn't want to hurt them and they might need this money more than her.

I agree with her on that that's why I like to fight with the champion.

"AND THE WINNER OF THE FIGHT IS ONCE AGAIN NONE OTHER THAN BLACK ROSE. NOW LETS SPECTATE 2 OF OUR CAMPIONS FIGHT BLACK DIAMOND AND BLACK ROSE." I walked inside the ring as soon as he said my name."All the best girls." He told us before exiting the ring.

I looked at her in the eyes, a surprised look on her face. I can feel the corner of my lips kicking up. She remembers me.

The bell rang indicating the fight has begun.

I can tell she is hesitating to hit me. She is sloppy and slow with her hits. Its easy to dodge and counter attack. I'm not going to hit her tho. I can see her right leg was slightly injured and didn't feel like fight her.

I kept the match simple and sweeped my leg over hers and pushed her to the ground and said " I forfeit." With no hesitation in my voice and left the ring.

Victoria looked slightly shocked but soon she understood there was more to the story and shrugged it off, waiting for me to tell how I knew her.

I sat on the empty chair opposite of her and we were waiting for her, when Victoria asked me. "She was a lab rat too, wasn't she." She asked, more like stated.

I nodded. When she came.

"Why would you do that." She asked. "Never knew black diamond was a quitter or doesn't hurt someone she knew." She continued sarcastically.

"Neither did I. Your special, trust me. b***h here always fights with me." Victoria said making me roll my eyes and her chuckle.

"We meet again Scarlett." I said with a charming smile on my face.

"Meet again, my friend, Vanessa." She said hugging me. I patted her back a few times before releasing her.

"Geez its nice to meet you too. Don't ignore me." Victoria said flaggergasted.

"Scarlett, Victoria. Victoria, Scarlett." I introduced them.

"So do you have super powers." Victoria asked childishly, squealing.

Scarlett hesitated and looked at me warily, I nodded at her.

"Yes. Fire." She said.

"Oh coool, I want superpowers too. It suits you Scarlett, fire. Both red." Victoria said excitedly.

I looked at Scarlett and I can clearly see her suck in a deep breath and hear her scoff at vic's statement.

"I'm sorry I forgot." Victoria bit her tongue and apologized.

"I have news on that agency." I said. "They only did the experiment on 9 people in total. 8 are dead. 1 alive." I continued.

"1." Scarlett questioned confused.

"Yes I was not experimented. And they were killed after that." I explained.

"Do you think it was sent by the same person, who is assumed to be your biological father." Victoria asked.

"No, they attacked when I was in their all the time, why would this be any different. So it's logical to assume its someone else." I clarified.

"Am I missing something. How did you end up as a street fighter. How are you even alive." Scarlett asked.

I felt like a bucket of cold water was thrown all over me. Its been 3 years but those memories are always haunting me.

"Someone found me. A passer-by. He called an ambulance. They put me in an induced come to recuperate and I was sent to another foster home, they abused me so I set the house on fire and ran away. The police up to date still think I died alongside those bastards." I explained succinctly.

"Thats a lot. I'm sorry." She sympathized and patted my hand.

"Well the mood is depressing......again. Why don't you tell us how you use your powers or why. Can you stop a fire if a fire breaks out. Can you cook with that fire." Victoria asked curiously, stupefying Scarlett . Thanks pal, I didn't like her pitying me.
