@Quadrant @LandoNorris so...me and Charles have a day off in london...

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

London's autumn air carried the promise of spice as Lexi and Charles entered the Quadrant studio. Lando, deep in conversation with the other members, looked up with a wide grin, welcoming the couple as he rushed towards them, a huge grin sitting on his face.

"Hey guys!" Lando exclaimed, ushering them into the lively atmosphere of the Quadrant studio, pulling Lexi in for a tight hug before high diving Charles in greeting.

"Ah, I missed you," Lexi grinned, Pulling him in for a second hug. Charles laughed, knowing how much she loved her friends.

Amid friendly greetings, Charles couldn't help but notice the table adorned with trays of chicken wings, each doused in an array of hot sauces. His curiosity piqued, he turned to Lexi and Lando a question lingering in his eyes.

"What's going on here?" Charles asked, glancing at the spicy spectacle.

Lando, the mastermind behind the spiciness, took the lead. "We're doing a 'Hot Ones'-inspired video. The wings get hotter, and the questions get spicier with each round."

Lexi's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I've always wanted to do this!"

Charles, however, looked a bit perplexed. "Hot Ones? What's that?"

Lando chuckled, realizing Charles was in for a spicy surprise. "It's a show where celebrities eat progressively spicier wings and answer questions. It gets pretty intense."

"Amor, we really need to educate you." Lexi sighed. "Hey guys, nice to meet you - max, nice to see you again!" Lexi began introducing herself to the other members of quadrant, a large smile on her face as she locked eyes with Max, Lando's best friend.

"I'm shit with spice." Charles began, a frown on his face as he turned to Lexi and Lando. "You both know that."

"Well, we must have forgotten," Lando grinned.

After a little while longer of catching up with each other, and sharing their excitement for the premiere of Champion, the group settled around the table, the cameras started rolling. Lexi and Charles, flanked by Lando and the other members of Quadrant, embarked on the fiery adventure. The questions kicked off with light banter, touching on racing anecdotes and off-track escapades.


The Quadrant studio buzzed with anticipation as Ria introduced the inaugural round of the fiery challenge. The hot sauce, milder than the subsequent rounds, awaited the competitors. Lexi, Max, Lando, and Charles huddled around the table, ready to divulge their deepest fears. Quickly, they each took a bit of the chicken, and immediately Charles groaned in annoyance, the mildest of spices already too hot for his liking.

Ria, with a grin that hinted at mischief, kicked off the interrogation. "Round one, guys! What's your biggest irrational fear?"

Charles, leaning back with a smirk, didn't hesitate. "Clowns, absolutely. I can't stand them."

Lexi, sitting beside him, rolled her eyes playfully. "Clowns? Really? You're a Formula 1 driver, and clowns are what scare you?"

"They're unnerving," Charles defended, shuddering at the mental image. "I already know yours." He pulled a mocking face.

Lexi's turn came. "Spiders," she admitted with a mock shiver. "Those fuckers send me running."

Charles, seizing the opportunity, teased, "Aren't you supposed to be tough, Ms. Heroux? Spiders?"

Max, next in line, chuckled. "Sleeping with my arms and legs dangling off the bed. You know, in case someone grabs me."

Lando couldn't suppress a laugh. "Mate, seriously? What's going to grab you?"

Max raised an eyebrow, unyielding in his defense. "You never know."

Lando, sporting a confident grin, declared, "Fish. I can't stand them. The way they swim, their eyes... gives me the creeps."

Max seized the chance to retaliate. "I'll never understand this. You race cars at insane speeds, but a fish freaks you out?"

Lexi interjected with a grin, "Well, Max, at least a fish won't be the one to grab you from under the bed."

Lando shot back, "Better a fish than whatever's lurking in the shadows."

"Oh god, stop it." Max groaned. "I hope a spider finds you later Alexandra."

"I sleep like you do too Max, it really annoys Charles."

Charles, feeling outnumbered, joined the banter. "She wraps herself up like a burrito at night, leaving me with no covers. Protecting herself from the spiders, I suppose. Plus, she won't admit it, but if she gets out of bed in the middle of the night, she runs to the bathroom in case anything is waiting in the dark,"

Lexi defended her nocturnal strategy. "It's a legitimate strategy! If it can't catch me, it can't kill me."

With the first round of hot sauce conquered, the Quadrant Heat intensified as the contestants braced themselves for the next level of spice. Lexi, Max, Lando, and Charles eyed the chicken wings with a mixture of excitement and trepidation.

As the group bit into the fiery concoction, the heat unfolded, prompting Lando to hurriedly grab a glass of milk. Lexi, seeing an opportunity to tease, raised an eyebrow. "Lando, can't handle the spice?"

Lando, unapologetically taking a sip, smirked. "I just like milk, all right? It has nothing to do with the spice."

Ria, relishing the unfolding drama, steered the conversation to the second round of questions. "Round two, folks! If you were in deep trouble, who is the first person you would contact for help?"

Charles, having navigated a mouthful of spicy chicken, didn't hesitate. "Alexandra, or my mother. They're my go-to."

Max's response was met with a playful wolf whistle from Lando. "My girlfriend. Always."

Lando chuckled. "For work-related troubles, Zak, For everything else, my dad."

The spotlight turned to Lexi, who appeared momentarily conflicted. Ria, with a mischievous grin, prodded, "Come on, Lexi. Who's your knight in shining armor?"

Lexi hesitated, contemplating the question's nuances. "It depends on the situation, really. But likely Charles."

Charles, always quick with a quip, interjected, "She wouldn't call me; I never answer my phone."

Lexi chuckled, playing along. "True. Maybe I'd call Lewis, Sebastian, or my brother James."

Lando, seizing the opportunity to tease, remarked, "I thought you'd call Max or Christian."

Lexi laughed, considering the notion. "Well, it depends on the emergency, doesn't it? If I've been arrested, there's no way I'd call Seb or Christian,"

The room erupted in laughter, the banter heightened by the spicy challenges and revealing questions.

As the Heat continued, the contestants faced a new challenge – not just the escalating heat from the spicy chicken wings, but the introspective questions that unraveled deeper layers of their lives.

Ria posed the third-round question, a reflective query that hung in the air like the scent of the fiery hot sauce: "Knowing what you do now, what advice would you give yourself 5 years ago?"

Lexi, eager to tackle this poignant inquiry, spoke first. "I'd tell myself to forgive my brother and to have faith in my own strength." There was a vulnerability in her admission, a glimpse into a past marked by familial complexities. Of course, everyone knew the trauma Lexi had endured over the years, but it was still a shock to hear her reference it so casually.

Before Ria could delve deeper into Lexi's response, Charles, ever attuned to his partner's emotions, interjected. "For me, it would be not to feel guilty about lying to my father about getting a seat in Ferrari." Lexi cast him a knowing, supportive glance, understanding the weight of his confession.

Lando, breaking the introspective tension with a dose of humor, lightened the mood. "I'd live by one of Daniel's quotes: 'Enjoy the butterflies.' And, as a young driver, understand that mistakes are part of the journey. I'd also tell myself not to get that awful haircut."

Max, ever pragmatic, shared his hindsight wisdom. "I would tell myself that even though I'm not a driver anymore, I'm happy, and I know I made the right choice. Stop second-guessing it."

The group, momentarily somber after baring their past regrets and lessons, found an unexpected reprieve when Lando, taking a daring bite of the spicy chicken, nearly choked on the intense heat. Laughter erupted, breaking the tension and reminding them that even in moments of reflection, life had a way of injecting spice and humor.

The Quadrant Heat intensified with each bite of the insanely spicy chicken, turning the once-cozy studio into a battlefield of heat and laughter. The quartet, now struggling to eat, faced a new challenge with gritted teeth.

Ria, undeterred by the spicy chaos, posed the next question, injecting a dose of zombie apocalypse whimsy into the mix: "If there was a zombie apocalypse, which one of your friends would die first?"

Amidst the lingering heat and shared glances of trepidation, Max, unable to contain his laughter, promptly declared, "It would be you, Ria." Ria, feigning offense, shot back mockingly. Lexi, eyes twinkling with mischief, slyly stole Lando's glass of milk, momentarily distracting herself from the spice.

Charles, contemplating the fictional apocalypse scenario, confidently stated, "I think it would be Daniel." Lexi nodded in agreement, sharing a conspiratorial smile with Charles. "Or Carlos,"

"Definitely Carlos."

Lando, living up to his unpredictable nature, dropped a bombshell that shattered the seriousness of the question. "I'd die first," he announced with a mischievous grin. "Being a zombie is cool, so I'd let it bite me." The room exploded in laughter at Lando's unconventional answer, the absurdity of his response providing a welcome reprieve from the intense spice.

The final round of the Quadrant Heat had reduced the once-jovial group to a tableau of agony. Tears streamed down Lexi's face, Charles looked as if he'd seen a ghost, and Max clutched his throat as if grappling with an otherworldly force.

In this last crucible of spice, Ria, the provocateur of their collective suffering, posed a question that cut through the lingering heat: "If there's a heaven or hell, where do you think you're going?"

In unison, the group, grappling with the aftermath of the fiery chicken, muttered "heaven." However, Lexi, her face a canvas of spice-induced distress, disrupted the consensus. Her response, laden with a somber intensity, broke the harmonious chorus – "I'd go to hell."

Charles, caught off guard, attempted to counter Lexi's unexpected response. However, Lexi, her tone firm and resolute, rejected any reassurance."I don't think I'd be God's favorite."

Lando, ever the provocateur, delved into the realm of faith. "Do you believe in God? Wasn't your mum Christian?" he inquired. Lexi, her laughter now bitter and laced with a hint of anguish, declared her disbelief. "I don't," she affirmed. Her reasoning cut through the air like a bitter wind: "If there was a God, why would he make me suffer the way I have?" She paused, choosing to instead make light of the situation.

"And for the record, my mum wasn't Christian, she was shagging Christian."

The room, moments ago filled with spice-induced agony and existential pondering, erupted into laughter. Even Charles, nursing a pint of milk with a poker face that spoke volumes about his spicy suffering, couldn't resist the laughter that bubbled up.

Lando, sensing the need to wrap things up before the spice-induced pain escalated further, swiftly concluded the video. He thanked everyone for watching, and Lexi, with a mischievous glint in her eye, captured Charles's tear-streaked, spice-ridden face for her Instagram story. The shared laughter, a balm for the searing ordeal they endured, echoed in the Quadrant studio.

As the trio of Quadrant members – Lando, Max, and Ria – apologized for the unexpected depth of the questions, Lexi, ever resilient, waved off their concerns. She reassured them that she'd face even more probing queries during the upcoming press tour, a testament to her unwavering resolve in navigating the public eye.

With the Quadrant Heat episode officially in the can, Lexi, still wiping tears of laughter, extended an invitation to the Quadrant team for the upcoming premiere of "Champion." Excitement rippled through the studio as Lando, Max, and Ria eagerly agreed to attend, relishing the chance to share in the celebration of Lexi's cinematic triumph.

As conversation flowed seamlessly, Lando inquired about Lexi and Charles's enjoyment of the winter break. Charles, with a chuckle, revealed that their paths had diverged due to Lexi's press tour commitments, leaving them with precious little time together.

Lando, ever the enthusiast, mentioned their plans to stream later that evening and extended an invitation to Charles. Initially hesitant, Charles found himself swayed by Lexi's urging, realizing that it might provide a much-needed respite and an opportunity for some light-hearted banter.

With goodbyes exchanged and the promise of future collaborations in the air, Lexi and Charles headed back to their hotel, laughter echoing in the corridors. Amidst the shared joy and Charles's audible stomach protests, the day unfolded, weaving unseen bonds amidst the lingering heat of the Quadrant challenge.

In the back of the car, Charles turned to Lexi. "Are you sure you're okay with me streaming tonight?" He asked.

Lexi laughed. "Of course. I have work to do." She paused and shot him a smirk.

"Besides, you need all the practise you can get if you want to try to beat me next season."
