The morning after started off easy for Anna and Tay as they just enjoyed a good breakfast and talked with each other about the recent Dynamite plans. They were up against Kilynn King and Serena Deeb the following week while the rest of the card wasn't completely decided yet, apart from Y/N's match. Mentioning the new guy got Anna thinking though as she sipped her coffee, not noticing Tay watching what was going on.

Tay:" Got something on your mind?"

Anna:" Nothing too big honestly. It's just Y/N..."

Tay:" Oh? What about him exactly?"

Anna:" He's just different. I watched the footage of yesterday's BTE and in the beginning, he's acting like some kind of predator. When he talked that low and threatening, I had goosebumps. Compared to after the show when he brought us back, this was a shock to me."

Tay:" Well, he stands out in a crowd of gimmicks. Y/N may be that dangerous character on TV, but we saw that he also has a calm and gentle side. What do you think he's up to?"

Anna:" Either still asleep, eating or working out. It wouldn't surprise me, if he brought some of the others with him."

Anna and Tay then laughed at the image of people like Alan and John getting taken out by a mountain of a man like Y/N. Brodie Lee himself was a commanding leader for Dark Order and took care of business in any way he could and interestingly enough, Y/N was quite similar. It was an aspect that got Anna's attention spiked as she and Tay soon got their gym bags and headed out.
---------------------------------------------------------

A short while later and the two actually made it to the closest gym, getting inside and making their way to the main hall. There was already some commotion going on, but that sounded more like one of the coaches motivating the people in his course. That wasn't what got TayJay interested though. Instead, they walked to one of the practice rings to see Y/N, Stu, Alan, Pres10, Alex and John there.

Y/N:" Alright, guys. You gotta work on a few things today. Do you have a clue what I mean?"

Alan:" Maybe our grappling basics?"

Y/N:" Right on the money! Alan, you're actually good!"

Alex:" And you will instruct us?"

Y/N:" No, I will perform with you guys. If there's one thing I can do for you all, it's making you all better piece by piece. And don't you dare think you can get out of this!"

Just about everyone agreed to this, apart from John. He didn't want any part of this to be honest.

Y/N:" Silver? What did I just say?"

John:" I know what you said, but I don't want a beating right now!"

Stu:" Oh, man up, Silver. I thought you were the Meatman."

John:" Shut up, S--"

Y/N:" Get your ass in the ring, Silver! Otherwise I'll rip your beard from your damn face! All of you have a few minutes to warm up!"

That was all Y/N needed to say to get the guys moving before he turned around, getting surprised by Anna and Tay who watched everything from start to finish.

Y/N:" Ladies! My apologies, I didn't see you there."

Tay:" Good morning to you as well, Y/N. I didn't know you were a motivator."

Anna:" Is that your way to get the guys ready?"

Y/N:" Just a bit. I usually don't get this aggressive, but Adam told me to take them here and work on their skills. They're not bad, but a few things lack."

Anna:" And you will get in there to push each one to their limit."

Y/N:" That's my plan, yeah."

A shy smile on his face, Y/N scratched the back of his head. He asked everyone how group workouts usually go and after Adam told him the truth, it was clear that things needed to be organized all over again. It was more work than expected, but Y/N was sure that he could help in any way her could.

Anna:" That's nice of you, Y/N. I didn't think almost all of us would be here."

Y/N:" Yeah, Colt couldn't make it and Adam is doing something on his own. But we will try our best."

Tay:" Well, I would love to see that, but I got a routine to get through. Tell me when it's lunch time though, because I sure will be hungry."

John:" Did someone say hungry?"

Y/N now had enough as he slipped into the ring and immediatly went after John as they exchanged some actually good chain wrestling with one another. Tay excused herself, but Anna stayed and watched from a slight distance.

Y/N's movements went by so smooth and fluid as he outwrestled John with ease. Truth be told, Anna didn't think Y/N would be a technical wrestler in any way, but this actually surprised her. Of course she also kept an eye on the rest, but they weren't as impressive.

When John attempted a Single Leg Takedown, he was immediatly kneed in the face to stop the attack and getting him on wobbly legs. Y/N didn't take crap from anyone, not even during a spar like this, so the smallest member of Dark Order had to experience his moves firsthand. John was pulled back though as Alan headed into the fight, but was also served with a fair share of offense.

Y/N:" C'mon, guys. At least try!"

John:" Maybe you should slow down a little."

Y/N:" I'm not even warmed up yet. Stu, come here. Let's show them how we do it."

Stu:" Better watch now, guys."

The exchange now took quite a turn as Y/N and Stu circled each other while Anna stepped closer to get every step of the action. Now that she had an idea of what Y/N meant, she really needed to see what he could do against someone of a similar level and Stu was a great pick.

Anna:" Kick his ass, Y/N!"

Stu:" That's not very helpful, Anna!"

Anna:" Oh, shut up and just take it, Stu! It's not going to be as bad as you might think."

Y/N:" She's right. But you also got distracted too easily."

It was really upon Stu and Y/N to show the others what they needed to get better at while Anna just enjoyed the whooping Y/N was handing out to whoever was in front of him. He had a great sense for technicality and how to switch from one hold to another, but Stu wasn't dumb either as he got the advantage now.

Alex:" Okay, I have to give it to them. That's actually pretty good in my opinion."

Pres10:" Well, they're friends and know each other best. It's just a matter of time until they knock each other down, but I don't see it happen just yet."

Uno:" It could though. Just a little slip up and things could be over."

Y/N and Stu were focussed as they moved on to the next section, getting to one of the corners again.

Anna:" That's what I'm talking about! Go, Y/N!"

Y/N:" I appreciate the motivation."

Alan:" So much for the Queenslayer not being biased..."

Anna:" What was that?!"

Alan:" Nothing, Miss! A-Absolutely nothing."

Anna:" You better watch your mouth!"

John:" Ha! Anna just owned you!"

Y/N:" Silence! You can argue later. You should watch---"

Well, Y/N should've watched as well, but now he and Stu knocked each other down with some Roundhouse Kicks to the head.

Y/N landed right in front of Anna, taking a deep breath after everything he just did to get everyone up to speed. Opportunities like that didn't come often, but he used them as best as he could whenever they were presented. Just then he rolled onto his side, facing Anna who crossed her arms with a soft smirk whole he just smiled.

Y/N:" Hey there, pretty lady."

Anna:" Flatterer. Did you just do that to impress me?"

Y/N:" Only partially. I try to keep it simple during workouts."

Anna:" That didn't look like it though."

Y/N:" Yeah, I know. Did you enjoy the show at least?"

Anna:" You did good. It's quite impressive what you can do."

Y/N:" High praise from the Queenslayer. I feel honored."

Anna:" Don't let it get to your head though."

Y/N:" Didn't plan on it. Hey, you got any plans tomorrow afternoon?"

Anna:" Not yet. What are you thinking?"

Y/N:" Well, there's a nice park nearby and someone is selling Crèpes there. Maybe we could give it a try."

Anna:" Sounds tempting. I'll let you know once all of us got our workouts in, okay?"

Y/N:" You know where to find me, buttercup."

Anna:" You did not just call me that."

Y/N:" I so did."

Anna:" Your witts will be your end sooner or later."

Y/N:" Yeah, I don't think so."

While Y/N chuckled, Anna huffed and walked off to hide a sudden blush on her face. This chat with Y/N got her a little embarrassed, but internally she was really happy that he made the first step. Anna had to play it cool though. No overexcitement, no staring, no daydreaming. She was just friends with Y/N at this point.
