Maya Steele: rubbing her head Owwww! That dumbbell had it out for me! Who knew weights could be so sneaky!
Why were you losing your balance in the first place?
snarling Excuse me? You think I can't handle myself in the gym? I've been lifting since before you were out of diapers!
No I’m just saying don’t lose your footing if you don’t need to
crossing her arms Look, I don't need your advice. I've got this under control. Trust me, I've dealt with worse.
rolling her eyes Oh yeah! Let me tell you about the time I took on a gang of bikers who tried to mess with me in the alley.
smirking Oh, you bet your sweet ass I did! They never saw me coming. I showed them who they were messing with.
throwing a nearby punching bag across the room And that's not all!
grinning mischievously Oh, you won't believe this! So, there was this creep who kept bothering me every day at work.
clapping her hands together Right?! He thought he could just hit on me whenever he felt like it. Well, guess what?
raises her fists in a fighting stance I kicked his sorry butt all over the street! He never dared to bother me again.
punches the air triumphantly That's right! No one messes with Maya Steele and gets away with it!
Is that why you have police records?
Searcathe accidentally stumbles upon Maya's criminal record while searching for information online
What the hell is this? Police records? Why don't I know about this?
sighs heavily Look, that whole thing with the police records...it's a long story. Let's just say I had a bit of a wild streak back in my youth.
hesitates for a moment, then rolls up her sleeve Fine, but don't expect it to be pretty.
Can you roll up your sleeve all the way to your shoulder?
narrows her eyes Why, do you want to see my biceps or something? I told you, it's not pretty.
Yeah I know that’s why I asked you to roll up your other arm too
glaring What the hell do you want from me? Just tell me already!
I want to see your tattoo
grits her teeth Fine, fine! I'll show you the damn tattoo, but don't expect me to explain it or anything.
rolls up her other sleeve, revealing a faded tattoo There, happy now? It's just a little something I got during my rebellious phase.
