Lex wasn’t quite sure why she was here. She argued with herself multiple times and tried to talk herself out of it, but morbid curiosity had gotten the best of her. She had been on multiple missions with Bishop by now, and she also knew about his alter ego as a pit fighter. Almost all fighting rings had some ties to Hutts, and that alone could get him court martialed. However, she had risked her life enough times with him to ever sell him out. Was she a bad C.O for doing that and now even coming to one of these fights? She plugged that line of thought quickly, deciding she should simply check it out before she talked herself out of it.
The fighting pit was an underground warehouse, and she paid quite the sum to get tickets for it. Lex was adorned in regular civilian attire, except for the pistol she carried in her purse. As a military girl, she always felt naked without her sidearm. Lex snuck the weapon in after forking over some extra credits along with a few threats to shut the place down. She found herself a seat close to the ring, sitting in between two large and obnoxious men. One of them already tried to buy her a drink and she pointedly ignored him.
Her focus was the fighting ring in front of her, and the premier fight tonight was between Spider and a large man called Bonecrusher. Lex had to roll her eyes at the creativity of these names, and her curiosity was piqued when a spiked cage rose up around the fighting arena. The announcer was shouting and the crowd was going wild, people cheering for both combatants. As she looked around, she found it hard to believe people were cheering for the same Bee she constantly had misadventures with.
Lex had a box of Space Its with her, popping a few into her mouth as the announcer called for Bonecrusher. A hulking man came out wearing a skull helmet and otherwise shirtless. He was rippling with muscle and looked as if he could break most people in half. Lex shook her head, wondering exactly how Bishop intended to fight this behemoth. She grimaced as the the men next to her leapt to their feet to cheer and almost spilled their drinks on her.
“And on the other side…you know him! You’ve seen him! You love him! The one and only…SPIDDERRRRR!” The crowd went absolutely wild, though Lex remained in her seat and rolled her eyes.
