What should we do?

How close have they gotten to each other? Have you tried putting them in adjacent rooms with a shut door so they could get used to the smell of each other (from the air flow under the door) without having to duke it out? Have you left things with the other cats' smell in the room with them? Hmmmm - maybe some chemical intervention in the form of Rescue Remedy, or maybe catnip, if they're the kind of cat that reacts by getting really mellow afterwards, not if either is the "wild frenzy" reaction to catnip type ... My Dad used to bring catnip mice with him over to Lady's Human's place (before they moved 5 hours away) and so my brother would come home to three "stoned and mellow jello" cats lying about.

We have Feliway plugins all over the house, one in my bedroom, one in the living room and one in Alexa's room. Corkscrew and Tibby and getting rescue remedy in their water because Corkscrew gets stressed out very easily. They have met before from under the door. Corkscrew and Tuna will sometimes bat at each other from under the door. They have also smelled each other because they take turns getting access of the full house so the cat trees in the living room and other places should have Tuna and Pocky's smell on them and by now should also have Tibby and Corkscrew's smell.

I just talked to Alexa and she said her bite isn't looking good. Her wrist is swollen and it hurts all the way to her fingers (the bite was on the vein in her wrist). She talked to her mom (a nurse practitioner) and is going to see her so she can get some antibiotics. So hopefully the antibiotics will help.

We were also worried about the outcome of Tuna if Alexa needed to go to the ER. I spoke with my boss at work because a while ago she was bit by her dog while trying to break up a fight. She said that Alexa would have to file a report on Tuna and they would at the very least require a home quarentine and would send someone over periodically to check on Tuna to make sure he didn't have rabies.

I think the rules are far different for dogs than cats when it comes to rabies, and Tuna has always been indoor-only, right?

Yes, Tuna is an indoor only cat. I never thought about the rules being different. But I can still understand her worry for Tuna. However at least she is going to see her mom today so she can have it checked out and get some medication.
