For the remainder of your time in the ring, you allowed Wanda to practice her submission holds on you. And with Cindy’s help, you were able to show her what works, what doesn't, and what she needs to improve on.
And for you, that involved an awful lot of this teenager putting you in compromising positions, and threatening to cut off your air supply.
But you were a big boy. You could take it. Although, part of you was surprised that she didn't freak out from being in such close proximity to you during your spar. Maybe she really was serious about this whole sidekick thing.

<span class="mu-r">“...So. How'd I do?”</span> Wanda asked, gasping for breath. She'd been practicing her moves on you for at least two hours now. She was drenched in sweat, and a decent amount of it had gotten on your new suit.
She gave you a look that was stuck somewhere between confusion and envy.
You gave her two thumbs up from your perch atop one of the ring posts, barely having broken a sweat during the entire ordeal.
This much wasn't enough to get you tired, and your body wasn't as sensitive to overheating as it had once been. Not that Wanda knew any of that, of course.
<span class="mu-s">“You're doing better than I expected you to. Of course, we'll have to work on that grip strength of yours.”</span> Cindy observed, looking thoughtful.
Wanda grimaced at that.
<span class="mu-r">“Does that mean I'm gonna have to get all bulky and muscular?”</span> she said with a fearful look in her eye.
Cindy chuckled at that.
<span class="mu-s">“As a grappler? Don't worry, you don't need a whole lot of muscle mass to render someone unconscious. You just need a bit of strength, technique and confidence.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“And if you can't manage that, then two out of three ain't bad.”</span> you helpfully put in.
Wanda stared down at her hands, opening and closing them repeatedly.
<span class="mu-r">“I’ll do whatever it takes. Even if I have to get all bulky. I want to save lives and fight crime! Like you guys.”</span>
Wanda gave you an entirely innocent and optimistic smile. But the look that you and Cindy exchanged was…complicated, to say the least.
What will you say?
>”Don’t be like me. Be better. You guys are the next generation, after all.”>”Just remember not to bite off more than you can chew. You’re Cindy’s support. You girls are supposed to watch each other’s backs out there.”>”You two should lay low for a while. Things are about to get crazy out there, and I don’t want either of you caught in the crossfire.”>”Just let me know if you guys need anything. I’ll do whatever I can to keep you safe.”>Write-in.Pastebins:
