A Night At the Fights
Dex stood and watched the two combatants in the ring as he waited his turn. With all the stuff that had gone down, he hadn't had a chance to fight in awhile. This was his way of relieving stress and not be a green lantern for awhile. This was his life before the ring found him and it was the only thing he knew how to do well.

He crossed his arms over his chest and watched. Soon he would be in there and life would be good.

Rex doesn't usually get involved in the fights, mostly because explaining the bruises to Nic and Hope would require either lying or telling the truth and getting chewed out.

He doesn't tell the team where he goes on Friday nights after work. He simply leaves the museum and heads to the fights with a bit of money for beers and to have a good time.

"I'm hopin' the next fight has more action than this one." Rex says to the guy next to him. "These two have been huggin' each other the whole time."

	"Yeah," Dex agreed. "I beat the smaller one up a few months ago. He tried the same crap to keep me from beatin' the crap outta him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose stood off to the side, sipping a beer and watching the fights. She found the time to come and watch the fights and get involved in a couple herself in between jobs. Right now she was just watching and waiting for her turn so she could jump in and get to kicking the crap out of some people. Because fighting? Almost as stress-relieving as sex. Almost.

	"Yeah, clinching is bullshit." Rex says, taking a swig of his beer. Wait, he recognizes that voice. "Dex?" Rex says, looking over. "Didn't know you were into this sort of thing." Though, now that he thought about it, he should have. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dex looked over. He recognized the voice and looked closely at the face. "Rex, right?" Dex was really bad with names. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-02 01:24 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, man. Good to see you." Rex says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Likewise," Dex said with a nod. The two men in the ring broke apart and one threw a right hook that felled the other. The man on the floor didn't move. "Wusses," Dex said as he watched. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Seeing the man go down, Rose put down her beer, getting ready to step in the ring. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rex watches the next contestant get in the ring and nods in approval. "Didn't know they were letting the ladies get into it these days, but good for her." Rex says, cheering for the white-haired girl. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	green_lantern 2011-04-02 02:04 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," Dex said. He waved down a bookie and put two hundred on the white-haired babe. "Got two hundred on her now," Dex said with a grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rosewithathorn 2011-04-02 02:07 am UTC (link)
	Rose cracked her knuckles when she stepped into the ring. "It's okay boys," she said, grinning. "I won't hit you too hard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-02 02:24 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, she looks like a sure bet." Rex says. "Wonder who the lucky chump is that gets to battle her." Rex says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	green_lantern 2011-04-02 02:28 am UTC (link)
	"You're up!" the MC said and pointed to Dex. "Looks like it's me," Dex said. He shook his head and stepped into the makeshift ring. "Hit me as hard as you like." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rosewithathorn 2011-04-02 02:41 am UTC (link)
	"Oh I plan on it," Rose said with a grin. She came at Dex with a left hook. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-02 02:46 am UTC (link)
	Rex damned near spat out his beer. This was completely worth the price of admission. "Let's go! Let's do this!" Rex cheers. He doesn't pull for either side, really. He...might have to tell Hope about this place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	green_lantern 2011-04-02 02:50 am UTC (link)
	Dex ducked the left and countered with a straight jab aimed at her stomach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rosewithathorn 2011-04-02 02:53 am UTC (link)
	She'd had been cocky. The jab caught her off-guard, and she stumbled back a little. Okay. No more being cocky. Rose came at with an open palm, intending on shoving him back and throwing him off-balance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	green_lantern 2011-04-02 03:06 am UTC (link)
	Dex didn't like to be predictable. He charged ahead and into the strike. Momentum and his weight advantage should keep him from becoming off balance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rosewithathorn 2011-04-02 03:11 am UTC (link)
	She hadn't been expecting that. Rose grabbed onto his shoulders, pushing upward to flip over him. She'll attempt to throw a kick at his back while she's at it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	green_lantern 2011-04-02 03:16 am UTC (link)
	The kick landed on his back and a grunt escaped Dex. He landed face first on the floor. He immediately rolled and kicked at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dex sat back in his chair and downed half of his beer in one gulp. He had never been to this bar before and it wasn't bad. There were women to look at and the beer was cold. One couldn't ask for more. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	rosewithathorn 2011-04-06 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	Rose took a sip of her beer, grinning at the two guys in front of her. "Sure your girlfriend won't mind sharing you for one night, Rex?" She asked teasingly with a wink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-07 01:40 am UTC (link)
	Rex takes it in stride. If he were single... "I'm pretty sure she'd mind. She has this thing about monogamy." he grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	green_lantern 2011-04-08 03:30 pm UTC (link)
	"This is why I stay single," Dex said with a grin. It wasn't the only reason, but it was good enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)
