Midgard was still a city falling apart, but Tifa did her best to make it feel like home. The martial arts fighter, after the incident with Kadaj and his brothers, had retired again to help Cloud run their delivery business. She had what most people would call a family, with Marlene and Denzel, but it wasn't all smiles. In fact, at times it frustrated the busty, black haired girl. Why? Because the man she loved as the most clueless creature she had ever come across. Everyone knew how she felt about the spiky haired fighter, except him. Cloud played it off as if he had no idea she had feelings for him - it wouldn't surprise her if he actually didn't know. Marlene and Denzel even called him dad and, even though they called her mom, he still made no hint to even being aware of her. This caused her large amounts of frustration.
One day, when the frustrations had become more than she could handle, Tifa decided she needed a way to vent or else something bad would happen. She made flyers for what she called "7th Heaven Fighter's Club" where fighters could come to test their skills. Tifa established it beneath the city, making it an underground fighters circuit - save the few flyers she passed, the clubs whereabouts were spread by mouth to mouth communications. It became a popular thing among the city's thugs and 'bad' boys, giving Tifa the chances she needed to fight to help her curb her anger at Cloud.
Tonight was one such night that she needed to vent and vent badly. Tifa had dressed up and made dinner for Cloud, only to have him ditch her. When she called his cell, she, of course, only got his voicemail. She felt like a fool; he had probably changed his mind again and just didn't feel like telling her for fear of being a disappointment to her. Tifa wore her old clothes tonight, the white top, black skirt, straps, and boots. She tied her hair in the long tail she used to have and today she brought her best pair of fingerless black leather gloves.
When she reached the club beneath the city, the fighting was already well under way. A group of three thugs were taking on a formidle young warrior. She knew instantly the one would take out the three. Tifa had a sense about these things and, as she predicted, the thugs were on the ground bleeding in moments. The young woman padded her way to the center as the the thugs were dragged off and asked for any challengers to her title as the clubs ultimate fighter.
A beefy, 6 foot 4 man stepped forth in thugs gear to challenge her - probably one of those defeated thugs' friends, she thought. He came at her as soon as the music started, throwing a punch at her head. She dropped quickly and swung her leg out in a wide arc to trip the man. He fell, but flipped back onto his feet in a mere second. Tifa brown eyes narrowed and she smiled slowly; perhaps she'd get a decent work out tonight.
