---

Selina Kyle has posed:
After her initial visit to Grant's Gym, Selina bought an annual membership. At first, having the attractive woman working out in tight yoga clothes really boosted attendance. Especially, but not exclusively, among the younger men. As Selina began stepping into the ring more and more often, however, the initial attraction quickly blossomed into respect.

She is a skilled fighter, and it didn't take long for every one of the regulars to figure that out.

Today the familiar rumble of her motorcycle preceded the dark-haired woman's entrance. Wearing biker leathers with the familiar duffel slung across her chest, she tucked the helmet under one arm and tousled her short hair. Waving to a few familiar faces, she might raise eyebrows with the sight of the coiled whip around her waist.

Ted Grant has posed:
One of those eyebrows belongs to Ted Grant, undefeated Heavyweight champion. That was a DEMO fight with Mohammed Ali. He holds a hand up to stop Selina and says, "You planning on flagellating someone for getting grabby? 'Cause I prefer you check that belt of yours at the desk. Use your fists, nature's problem solvers!"

Selina Kyle has posed:
Selina Kyle glances down at the whip around her waist, giving a look of mock surprise at his reaction. "What? This old thing? Girl's gotta keep her pants up, y'know." she replies with a teasing purr. Making sure there's plenty of clear space, she tugs smoothly on the handle and the long whip uncurls. A flick of the wrist give it a loud <CRACK!>, those green eyes watching Ted's face all the while.

The gym goes quiet as she coils it up and gingerly passes it over. "Would you believe I forgot I was wearing it?" she replies in a lower voice. "At least I didn't bring my claws."

Ted Grant has posed:
Ted Grant looks around at the empty gym. Yeah even Gothamites did not venture out into the Abusement Mile after dark, especially during a Gotham winter. He leans closer to her and jokes, "When did you ever worry too mush about keeping your pants up? And honey you always got claws. I saw to that. So what'll it be tonight? If you want to spar with that belt of yours I'll suit up." He touches foreheads with her briefly.

Selina Kyle has posed:
Selina Kyle smirks at the offer, although she keeps the coiled whip. "You think I always travel with my 'work clothes', do you?" she replies, voice lowering and a playful gleam in her eye. "What would happen if someone decided to stop in? You'd say I broke in and you were just defending yourself, in full costume?" She chuckles at that.

Ted Grant has posed:
Ted Grant smirks. "I got a bottled thrown at my head and was carted to an ER. They cut my clothes off and... I got my uniform on underneath. They never noticed it. Cut everything off and threw it out."

He takes her by the chin and says, "I'd never see you busted. It might require some storytelling of an adult nature is all but you got a mask on. All right, spar it is, no whip. Fucking thing stings." He hops over the counter and pulls his sweatshirt off. 'You looking to practice anything in particular or is this just start swinging?" He head tilts and vertebrae pop.

Selina Kyle has posed:
Selina Kyle lifts a dark brow at that. "Honey, this wouldn't be my first time getting a mug shot. Catching me is one thing. Keeping me is something else entirely."

She winks and starts peeling out of the leathers, showing her snug yoga outfit beneath. "Well we both know that in a straight boxing match you'd kill me, and I don't want to ruin a good manicure. How about we keep it low-intensity tonight? Judo or jiu-jitsu, light on the punching and kicking."

Ted Grant has posed:
Ted Grant rubs his hands and says, "Judy Jis=tsu it is. Makes more sens you'd use that on me anyway. He kicks his deck shoes of and climbs into the ring. :I had the girl I'm helping out ask me me to learn her to fight. So no holds barred sparring. She was just too mechanical.You could tell her next moves like it was scripted. But she hung on and finished the first lesson. remember when I took the kid gloves off with you?" He smiles and does some stretches.

Selina Kyle has posed:
Selina Kyle arches and stretches as well, feet planted wide as she moves her torso around in wide, bending circles. She chuckles, then. "Remember? Why do you think I brought the whip?" she teases. "No one I've fought on the streets held back, after all."

Selina does a smooth walk-over, then another in quick succession. Gripping the top rope, she gives a little hop and -somehow- flips into a balanced handstand. She holds it for a couple of heartbeats, then lazily kicks over to land both feet in the ring.

Ted Grant has posed:
Ted Grant doesn't get a top tier fighter to spar with often. The smile he has is genuine. Plus he's damned proud of Selina. So he comes in easy and slow to makes a grab for her. He'll let her get the first throw in.

Selina Kyle has posed:
No sooner do her feet hit the canvas than Selina begins to circle, a playful smile on her lips and a wary look in her eye. She knows that she's come a long way, and she has the confidence to show for it. Ted makes the grab, and instead of dodging away she twists around and behind him. Not quite climbing his back, she goes for a shoulder lock with one leg around his waist.

And so it begins...
