After her embarrassing moment during training for Smash Zone at Rainbow Saints, Hellcat thought it would be easier to try and train with Alice who was busy trying to get Dave into shape; her thoughts proved correct when she saw a training room at the back of Gracies Toy Store floor, and as expected Alice was in the control room with Dave in VR mode.
After a quick meet and greet, Hellcat explained what happened to her when she trained.
"You know you can turn force feedback off during the body scan" Alice speaking as if everyone should know.
Hellcat shouted alot of language which would get this writer banned.
"It should just feel like sitting in a massage chair, don't tell me your body is that sensitive" Alice sipping hot cocoa while Hellcat stopped swearing long enough to feel distraught, the body scan chooses how the Smash Zone avatar looks without going through hours of customization, Hellcat rushing into it got the force feedback with her body scan, the results are what you expect.
After several minutes, Dave was still going through the custom options, in the arena.
"He doesn't change, he's the same whenever he visits a car shop" Hellcat was a little more at ease.
"I've been wondering about you for a while, what kind of person you are based on how Dave described you, apart from the glow up, his description was accurate, I'm disappointed really" Alice sounded harsh, Hellcat stayed calm but it was clear she was irritated.
"You're about to takeover Chaos Engine, but you are no where near ready for it, you may have random bits of wisdom when pressured but the way you act, is as if you feel there are no consequences for your actions, it's a bad habit you and many of the newer Emperors of the Highway have, the way I see it, Dave Dreamer is way more qualified to be leader than you'll ever be" Alice really cut deep with her words.
"You don't even drive, what would you know about running a race team!" Hellcat snapped, Alice turned round in her chair, removed her glasses and spoke in her real adult voice.
"At least I treat my workers with respect, I may act silly while working but that comes with the territory, a child should not have to deal with an adult glaring at them just for having fun in a toy store, from what I hear, your team only tolerates you because of your namesake and your past trauma, but they are the ones who end up having to waste precious time and resources to get you out of trouble all the time and you wonder why your team can only afford three captains when most have ten" Alice gave quite the burn. Hellcat controlled herself enough to give a response as she knew Alice was right.
"I already know I'm the weakest in the family but I'm not so naive to think I can solve my issues in such a short time, I lost my job, I'm in my first relationship and I'm still getting used to a body that still feels foreign to me, I'm not in the privileged position you are where you don't have to be in the store everyday to keep it running, rather than waste my time burning me with put downs, how about you actually help me by at least letting me train here, because I know nothing about Smash Zone and if I'm going to humiliate myself against the Billiard Queen, I want to at least go down with some dignity" Hellcat tried to stand her ground, Alice put her glasses back on and switched back to the higher voice.
"I still think Steve is a better trainer for this, since your dating him it's distracting I guess, I'll give you three days, if at any point I feel that you are wasting my time, you'll forfeit the Razzmatazz Tournament" Alice delivered the ultimatum.
Of all the women Dave has dated, Alice was proving to be the most terrifying.
