Judy assumed that she would never be forced to share a cell with a villian, so imagine her surprise when the villian she shared a cell with turned out to be Bertha Bad Ass, the woman who had beaten Judy to within an inch of her life on Judys first mission as a superhero. In fact, had Power Prince not shown up when he did to help Judy to eventually subdue and place Bertha into custody, Bertha may well had beaten Judy to death.
"What have we here?" Bertha said as Judy was placed into the cell. "Oh, how the mighty have fallen. The big bad heroine is now just a common criminal like me"
"This has to be some kind of mistake," Judy said to the officer who had brought her to the cell, with a trace of fear in her voice.
"Oh, this is rich" Bertha laughed as she spoke."She's afraid because Power Prince isn't around to save her sorry ass"
"Shut up Bertha!" yelled the officer. "Don't worry, Twilight, Bertha's just being a loudmouth. She won't cause any problems for you. Especially not with her parole hearing less than a month away. Thats why we put you in a cell with her, because we just know that she is going to be a model roommate, right Bertha?"
"Whatever," Bertha answered
With that the officer left the cell and locked the door.
Judy began to sit on one of the cots in the cell.
"That's my bed, punkass!" Bertha yelled
Judy slowly got up and, and with her head lowered, began to sit on the other cot.
"That's mine too wimp!"Bertha yelled
"Well I can't sleep on the floor," Judy shot back, "one of these cots has to be mine"
"Really?," Bertha said. "I tell you what, we'll fight for it. You win, you get the cot of your choice. I win, you sleep on the floor."
"Look I'm not going to fight you Bertha," Judy said.
"Then you can stand there and get hit, it's not like you have a chance to win even if you do fight back."
With that, Bertha hauled off and punched Judy in the face. Judy saw the punch coming and was able to roll with it, but the blow still broke her nose. Bertha put her hands up in a classic boxers stance. Judy, her eyes watering, swung a wild left, which Bertha easily ducked. Bertha then shot a straight right punch into Judy's ribs, which she followd with a left to Judy's temple, which knocked Judy onto her buttocks. Bertha then kicked Judy in the face, knocking Judy onto her back. Bertha then stepped back and allowed Judy to, slowly, get up. Bertha, back in her boxers stance, shot a right jab at Judy's face. After tho more jabs, she caught Jud with a left hook, which knocked Judy down again. This time Bertha Picked Judy up by her hair. She held Judy's head in her hands and headbutted Judy's already broken nose.
Holding Judy by the back of the head with her right hand, she hit Judy with three left uppercuts to the stomach. She then picked Judy up as if she were going to bodyslam her, but while she had Juy in the air. she slammed Judy's back into the metal bar on the side of the bed.
Just then she heard a guard running toward the cell, alerted by the noise.
Bertha placed Judy down on one of the cots and sat down on the other one herself. Before the guard reaches the cell she leans over abnd whispes into Judy's ear "My parole hearing is less than a month away, I'd be real angry if anything were to happen that would jeopardize my chance of getting out. And I'm not angry at all right now. Do we understand each other?"
Judy meekly nodded. Just then the officers reached Judy and Bertha's cell.
"What the hell happened here?" one of them yelled
"I think she fell," Bertha said.
"Fell my ass!" the officer shot back."I guess the warden will have to figure this one out."
At least Judy didn't have to sleep on the floor. She had a bed of her own- in the infirmiry.
