Wedding Bells
--------------------
Months ago
---------------------
“Hi Daddy” Bianca says walking to her father's grave she is wearing a white dress. Her hair cut shorter than when she had previously been seen by the SCW Audience. Infact she wasn't Bianca Evans quite yet but that of course is the story we are telling today.
“I miss you Daddy…” Bianca says kneels next to the grave touching her father's name engraved on the gravite stone of his tombstone. “I hope you can see me now...This is my wedding dress. Don't worry it's not slutty looking. I know you hated it when i wore short skirts or showed off my body. You always told me i was better than that..I was so stupid.”
She says closing her eyes trying to envision her father. “Some days i call your voicemail...just to hear the message just to hear you say “Von Aaron and Schwartz Law offices.” I don't want to forget that. I don't want to forget how you sounded Daddy. I can't believe that life is just carrying on without you. I hope if you are looking down at me… You are proud. That i’m not a disappointment. That i am living up to your expectations. I know I’ve never been the best person...and I doubt i’d ever be. But You weren't either but to the people you loved you were. You were always the best father to me. You always made me feel like a princess. “
Bianca than pulls out her wallet. “I’m not going by Lexi Anymore i know you didn't that name. You wouldn't have named me Bianca. If you hadn’t...That's what I’m going by now. The name you gave me. I am your daughter and i am so proud to say that. I am so proud to have had you as my father. And I know there were moments i disappointed you that i was a brat. But you never showed that. You always encouraged me even when i failed at things or fell...You were still proud of me. The last year...there were things i did you were ashamed of. But I promise you...i am not going to be stepped on any more. I am going to be the woman you wanted me to be. I am going to be what you always dreamed i’d become.”
“Chad...is the kind of guy you always warned me about...men of power...men who know what they want. He is a bit of a bastard...But he’s strong he’s made me stronger. You’d want to kill him if you knew the things he’s done to me. But through it all it has made me stronger. It has made me a better person. I don't want people's approval any more i don't feel this need to be loved. I realize now who i have to be. So long i was weak so long i was afraid to be alone afraid to stand up on my own. I was afraid to fail...i mean just saying that..it's hard to say. Because I want to be the best. I want to be special...i don't want to just exist. I don't want to be OK..or good enough because that's not how i was raised. And For a time maybe for too long i thought i needed others. Be it Chad...or Mitb or even Aj Helms I thought i needed others to lean against to hide my flaws. The problem right there was i was admitting i have flaws. That I have weakness. Thinking that you have pretty much lost the fight already. It seemed to work for me...and honestly it did. I am sorry If I disappointed you.” She says as she pulls some dead flowers from the grave and puts the new flowers she had brought with her.
“For so long Hate has been my motivator hating the fans, hating SCW, hating Amy, Hating just the world in general. It's weird because of how in control of your emotions you were. And me I can be such an emotional mess I guess that is another thing i can blame on mom. I wish you were the one with me instead of her. I know that you’d tell me to focus you’d tell me not to allow others to manipulate me to control me. That's why I think you would be ashamed of me. Or at the least my actions The only thing i cared about was Chad. My god my salvation. He showed me that after all the torture all he had put me through. The lies, the slut shaming, making me think i lost my virginity….Daddy don't be mad at me believe me. I am going to make it right...i am going to make you proud. “ Bianca says this as she adjusts the flowers on her father's grave.
“You use to tell me that Doubt would always be my greatest enemy. I understand that now I understand that I could...no I should be so much more than i am now. Tag team champion..that's not enough. I am better than being part of a team I am better than just being part of the crowd. Just another face in the crowd. You always called me you're little princess and I understand now that I was born to rule. I was born to not just accept being good. I have to be better i have to always continue to get better.” She says as she makes the final Adjustments on the flower before standing up.
“I’m ready Daddy I am ready to become the woman you always wanted me to be...Now I wish i could stay and talk but I have to go get married...I have you're old watch with me. The one grand dad gave you...It's old...clunky...if it wasn't yours i probably wouldn't even touch it. But having it with me...holding it in my hand it kind of feels like you are with me. I know that's stupid. You’d say it's stupid but i think i just need that stupid belief to make living life without you easier that you are with me. That you aren't just completely gone. That's just...just something that scares me to think. I don't know...you’d probably call it stupid say dead is dead. Some weaknesses are hard to drop i guess.” Bianca says pulling the watch from her pocket an old timey watch she moves her thumb around it and nods. Psyching herself up this was the day this was going to change the rest of her life. Because this was the day that Lexi Von Aaron was no more and she became Bianca Evans.
She left the cemetery It was a long drive but she needed to do this first even if it took a large portion of her day. Or what seemed that way but the drive back to her home...which was strange because even though she had lived with chad for nearly a year. Was this a mistake….To be honest I didn't mind how i was treated till i found about the lie. That's what bothered Bianca the abuse the stuff other people would hate or make a big fuss about i didn't mind so much. I liked the rough stuff like when Chad would hit her most times more than the sex. But in general sex just hasn't been for me.
Bianca had been wondering why she said yes. Why did she agree to marry Chad. Part of her believed this was the worst they had been. Especially with what else Chad did to her. He had gotten Bianca pregnant and some would say that's why he wanted to do this. Some people are old fashioned like that want to be married when they pop out a kid. She wonders if this was the reason or was that an afterthought Bianca hated it when she figured it out. She hated the morning sickness She hated the feeling of something growing in her gut. She never wanted this she never wanted to be a parent it was never something she planned on Bianca was always so careful. But you can't be careful when others meddle with your birth control.
That was the last time Bianca would allow things to slip out of control like that. This wasn't Chad’s game anymore Bianca realized if she were to go forward with this. To take this step Bianca couldnt be like Chad’s previous wife. Alexis she was weak she allowed chad to push her around… she was like Lexi but with inhibitions Lexi never had those. One could think that's why Bianca or Lexi won out in the end. Alexis got chad bored after years of boring marriage. Years of never being challenged years of trying to just be his wife. For any other man maybe Alexis would have been the ideal life. But That's the problem she let him decide Alexis tried to be a good wife.And that was the problem everything is a game to Chad especially Love. Or his concept of it at least.. After what happened between Chad and Lexi that fateful night after he did what he did Bianca had a choice. A)I could have allowed things to continue as they were B)Kill herself or C) Take Control make her own move in this game with Chad. At first yes She was weak Lexi didn't understand that it was all just a game of control.
Chad gave her that chance In that instant :Lexi realized she could have the power in her life. Not just over chad but over everything She didn't need to be so dependent on others she didn't need to do anything for the approval of others she did things for herself and only herself.Plans began to unfold in her mind ideas. The picture of her destiny was starting to take form.
“Lexi I am so happy that you are having me here.” Bianca looks up in disgust forgetting that my mother was there with her in the limo. Bianca had decided to let her in on the wedding maybe it was momentary insanity or just i wanted someone that i shared dna with there.
Bianca/Lexi glares at her in response. I never really got along with my mother. She always treated me like a prop something to make her look better in her own little social circles. Shed dress me up as her own personal little mini me for her friends “Oh look at Ophelia and her cute little daughter” . But she always liked Ethan more she always paid more attention to Bianca
‘s/Lexi’s older brother Ethan: He was the star in her eyes she didn't mind to share her precious spot light with him.
“You look so Beautiful Lexi.” She says to her daughter. She didn't like that sound that sound of this name her mother had given her. The name that had been forced on her because it seemed to be cuter. To fit more the image Ophelia wanted the painting of the reality of the beautiful mom and her cute daughter. But when the doors were closed when there was no reason to pamper her daughter or care for anything she did. Not the way Lexi’s father did he encouraged her her did things to make Lexi happy. Like taking her to the fair or buying her gifts. Ophelia was more concerned about getting tans or talking to her friends on the phone.
That's how Lexi see’s it at least that her mom was always more interested in herself than being any sort of mother. She blamed her mother for her parents seperating.For Lexi her mother was an excuse for everything that went wrong with her childhood. Her mother was the reason her learning disabilities went undiagnosed for several years. Why she didn't have many friends (never mind her own personality)
There was no doubt that Ophelia was a vain selfish person. That had not changed at all since Lexi’s childhood. But she realized age was catching up to her. And she had noticed many of her friends were proud of their children's achievements be they doctors, therapists or actors or whatever. She now saw that if her daughter was successful shed be successful by association. And Lexi knew this she knew that her mother wasn't trying to repent for her pathetic showing as mother during Lexi’s childhood. Having someone as rich as Chad evans as your son in law was definitely something that Ophelia could brag about. And Lexi’s career as a professional wrestler was really starting to hit its stride.
Maybe it was genuine pride in her daughter but that would never be the case if you asked Lexi herself. She had made it clear mother was the one she had wished died instead of her father on more than one occasion. Lexi had her mother here because she honestly didn't have anyone else to help her prepare for this. And the fact that Had hated her mother helped. Sure Lexi didn't like the presence of her mother but she wouldn't show it in front of Chad. If it aggravated Chad her “beloved” husband to be. Lexi would suffer through the annoyance of her mother.
“I am so excited to walk you down the Aisle Lexi” Lexi snarls in contempt at the thought of that. That her mother not her father would be walking her down the aisle. And the aisle wasn't a church but Chad. Because what church would allow a man that claims to be god get married within it. Chad just wanted a justice of the peace to do the ceremony as quickly as possible. Lexi would not have any of that.
“Yea...it's great.” That was the most Lexi could get out without losing her lunch. The thing was in reality she would probably have liked no one at the wedding as well just like Chad, they weren't that much different the fact was she had did like to do things purely to spite her husband to be. But at the same time. She did love Chad in her own way she admitted to herself that even when her hate for chad was at its worst she still have deep feelings. Hell there were moments where she was tempted to submit to him just out of habit and the fact...she kind of enjoyed it especially when he really took control when he really showed her who was boss. But this was there game they were playing for control.for power in the relationship.
“I can't believe how much you've grown up. It seems like only yesterday you were a little girl that was refusing to go to school without her daddy” Ophelia says filling with a genuine emotion remembering Lexi as a little girl. How different she was than...shy and innocent. She would have never thought that the girl she dressed up in cute little pigtails in matching outfits with her would turn out like this, This woman who just seemed to Exude confidence and power. Outside of her own selfish motivations she was legitimately proud of the woman Lexi had become. How much she had grown in the last year.
“Shut up Mom I don't need a trip down memory lane.” Lexi says in a very aggravated tone.
Ophelia sputters a little she was doing her best to stay on her daughters good side but that seemed to be a impossible task. Her daughter was different even from when she had spent time with her last year during that debacle with Aj Helms. Lexi was a different person than desperate for attention she thought that Aj Helms would be able to make her into something more. She was wrong but the spiral she fell in after that brought her to where she was now with Chad. And now an almost completely different person,

One Day Earlier
====-
Bianca had showed up at her mom's home less than twenty four hours earlier looking like a modern day jackie o wearing a classy womens white designer outfit. She wore a pair of black sunglasses so Ophelia couldn't even tell if her Daughter was even looking at her most of the time.
“I’m getting married….I don't really have any other family but you and my idiot brothers and i sure as hell don't want either of them to walk me down the aisle so i guess it comes down to you….I really should have just texted you but i’m not sure i actually want you to have my number.” Lexi says she had a snobbish tone to her voice kind of reminding Ophelia of herself. Especially when she was younger more specifically when Lexi was a little girl. But Ophelia of course prefered to show off her body a lot more than Lexi was. But that comes with spending a fortune on work to make your body attract the eyes of any straight oxygen breathing man.
“Lexi I am so happy for you sweetheart! After all you’ve been through this is so great to hear.” Ophelia went to hug Lexi but Lexi stepped away giving her a look of what could only be described as disgust.
“Please don't….Will you be a part of my wedding...or should I hire a stand in?” Lexi says looking over the condo that she lived in just over a year ago. She ran her gloved finger over a family picture. She moves the dust from her own image. Tilting her head to the side as she inspected herself.
“When is the wedding?” Ophelia asked.
“Tomorrow...so I’m in a bit of a hurry” Lexi says pulling out her phone
“Isn't that a little quick.” Ophelia asks
“Chad and I just want to get it over with...do you have a problem with that.” Lexi says lowering her sunglasses and glaring at her mother.
“No of course not it's your big day.” Ophelia replies she could see her daughter was in a very irritable state.
“Alright i’ll send a car for you….wear something….that doesn't make you look like a complete whore the mother of the bride should not look like she belongs at a boat show or some shit. “
“Lexi...do you want me to help you get ready?...for the wedding?” Ophelia asks she wanted to get closer to her daughter to repair their relationship however she could...and also she was kind of broke and was hoping that maybe if Lexi wasn't so mad at her maybe she could lend her mother some money.
Lexi takes a breathe thinking for a second. “Why not you can be a bit of a judgemental cunt so you should be able to bitch people out if they are fucking shit up. “ Lexi says in a pretty aggravated tone.

The Wedding
=====
I take a breathe as i look at my reflection in the mirror. Here we go...I’m getting married everything changes at this point. I want to look my best for him. I may be doing things for the soul purpose of pissing off my husband to be. But at the same time I want him to at the same time not have any i guess you would call it buyers remorse.
“Holy shit look at you bitch” I recognize the voice instantly as my former rival turned friend Channel Hunter. Which really is strange that we became friends after all she kicked my ass several times. I may have been kind of ok completely racist during our rivalry in chimera. But somehow we became friends. And it wasn't really fate or anything stupid like that it was Lenore Price Mason probably my only other friend who stood next to her smiling. I got up and quickly walked over to them and the three of us hugged.
“I can't believe you two are here.” I said smiling probably the first time on my wedding day.
Lexi looks to her mom and than flatly says “Mom….fuck off.I’ll get you when i needed you” Ophelia shakes her head and leaves the room.
“This is so awesome” Lexi says.
“I couldn't believe when i heard that my girl was getting married I told Channel and I just had to see...I was kind of half praying that it wasn't another Aaj situation but i can honestly say i'm not to sure if this is actually better. “ Lenore replies.
“But I didn't send anything...oh shit would Chad?” I say wondering. Would Chad actually do something like that for me. Invite my best friend to our wedding that really didn't seem like a Chad thing was he going to murder her or something or could Chad actually have good intentions.
“It wasn't you?” Lenore asks
“No weird...but that doesn't matter I am just so happy to have you two here that means i can actually have bridesmaids. “
“We’ll have to get with the bachelorette party later. We are gonna get you so fucked up” Channel says
“”Lets just worry about getting our girl ready for her big day.”
“I can't believe you cut your hair” Channel says looking me over.
“I wanted a change...you know for this new step in my life what do you think?”
“It does make you look older. Really you do look a lot more mature and it sure beats the pigtails you had earlier in the year” Channel says.
“Yea it was a phase i guess but i'm over it I really want to get serious you know not just with this relationship but just my life as a whole. You guys you always had it together or more than me. Lenore running her huge Company and Channel well you're just a badass. But I think all i ever had was i was the crazy one the goof ball. Channel was the badass,...Lenore was the Technician and what was i? I just… i feel like for so long I’ve depended on others.”
“You are always you're own worst critic Lexi”
“And sometimes what a team needs is the crazy one...at least for comedic relief.” Channel says.
“You’ve proven over the last year you don't need us to succeed. And I for one am proud of my best friend.” Lenore says pulling a single loose hair off my dress.
“So what have you two been up to?” Lexi asks.
“Work mainly i’ve been able to go on a few tours but the family business has really taken up alot of my time. “ Lenore says.
“I’ve traveling seeing the world had an awesome tour of europe that went from england to germany. Had some really good times girl but really it's not the time for that we gotta get that cute little ass of you're ready to get married. Even if it is to a giant asshole by the way what kind of prenup did he hit you with.” Channel remarks
“None….sure he’s been married before but to me this isn't an agreement i can take back on. We have our issues Chads an ass 90 percent of the time. But divorce isn't an option. This is literally till death do us part.” I respond.
“That's cute and all babe but lets face it most marriages don't last especially in this business” Channel says.
“I know but Chad and I are different. For me there is no one else. Even at his worst even when i despise chad more than anything in the world. I can't see myself being with someone else i don't see another option it's like impossible. I mean there are times that i hate the guy there are times that i want to crush his testicles into a smooth paste but no. I can't imagine being with anyone else. “ I say being the most honest I have been in some time.Often with chad it seemed to be a game well that's what it was but it seemed like we were always trying to deceive each other. Chad will always be smarter than me i know that. And for the last year this has been chads game he has controlled me in nearly every way but now it was my turn now it was my time to take the power but still. There was part of me that had moments where i just wanted to go back to being Chad’s personal toy...there were times where i kind of liked it….ok alot of times but still...there wasn't time for this i had to keep my head in the game.
“That’s sweet a tad on the demented side but sweet” Lenore says
“You two know I’m a terrible people person mainly because people are stupid but also just because I feel so much annoyance and anger pretty much all the time. With chad it’s strange yea I’m not the same submissive slave I was months ago but for me like I said there is no one else this isn’t going to be a blink and you’ll miss it marriage done for sweeps.” I quip
With the help of channel and Lenore and I guess I’ll admit it my mother she helped a bit to. This seemed to be just as important for her as it was me screaming at the florists to fix to floral arrangements. Most of the guests were just random people chad did his many outside of wrestling business ventures.or maybe chad just hired people to show up I don’t know but I could swear I saw cid turner and James Exeter out there at one point
We finish getting ready and the girls leave to take their place and i psyche myself up this is it,
“Lexi it's time to go...you look so amazing” My mother says.
“Fuck off mom” I respond.
She hands me the bouquet and one last moment as the old me I thought and that was truth this was the end of Lexi Von aaron the girl who came into SCW in the shadow of her brother. The third wheel in money inthe bank. The chick that got humiliated by Aj helms and his idiot friends over and over again. That girl was about to be erased and a woman would stand in her place. A woman that wasn't just Chad Evans wife because let's face it that shit has been done before but his equal. That is my mission now that is my purpose to be the equal to this man...no god I am married to.
The music hits and we walked down the aisle My mother is walking too close it just feels like she is trying to steal my spotlight so i send an elbow into her midsection she gasps for air taking a step back getting the message loud and clear this was my moment this was my time.
I look up and finally meet eyes with Chad he looks at me in only the way chad can i shoot him a smirk back. I tried to hide the genuine happiness i was feeling because if chad was feeling anything he was hiding it but i doubt he was hiding anything he looked relax but it wasn't like he looked like he was in heaven or anything.
The priest of non descript religion began “We are gathered here today to celebrate this union of this woman...and this man….i mean this God. In the union of marriage a sacred vow between two people….do i really need to say this….”
Chad glares at the priest.
“This God and His bitch…. United together in marriage on this day. Will be a day celebrated for years to come. Now…..if you will the rings.”
Lenore Brings me my ring while Chads lawyer i guess he couldn't get anyone else to be his best man brings him his.
“The ring signifies the bond between the two for you.”
I roughly force the ring on chads finger i admit i may have tried to break his finger in the process. But Chad he just smiles and carefully slides the finger on my hand.
“The Bride and groom have written their own vows”
“Lexi...When i first met you. You were going to kill yourself...well we may have met before that but honestly you didn't make the slightest impact on me. Anyways when we met you were weak. Stupid and ignorant. And at least now you are only one of those. Over the last year i have seen you grow as a person. You were a vicious little cunt already but now you are calculating and sometimes downright diabolical. You make me want to slap you in the face almost constantly with how smug you are sometimes just by that ignorant expression on your face. You are a one of a kind person. I thought at one point you were just another stuck up rich girl with daddy issues. But yes you are definitely a stuck up rich girl with daddy issues. You are also a greedy conniving bitch that nothing is ever enough for. You sometimes disgust me to my very core with just how awful a person you can be...And I’m Chad fucking Evans that shouldn't be possible. I hate so much in this world. And the very thought of how i feel for you deep down it has made me sick to my stomach. But you just never gave up you never flinched no matter how i treated you. But I will admit it now Lexi I love you.” Chad says holding my hand I smile as i feel that he is now bending my finger he was such a bastard.
“Chad my god..,, I was a girl when we first got together. A stupid ignorant girl that was obsessed with a boy whose balls haven't dropped yet. I didn't know what I needed because I didn't need a pathetic boy with daddy issues and a sickening case of peter pan syndrome. I needed a god who would use me and abuse me. And make me his in every way possible. You taught me how weak i truly was. You pushed me to limits i didn't know existed.You could make me feel like Shit chad you did things to me that were so terrible i think most of the people here would be puking. But I took it all because I wanted to be worthy. I wanted to be more than i was and because of that and because of you. I have become stronger.I had to or you would have just cast me aside like all the other woman you've had in your life. I knew if i wanted to be anything to you i had to take you're very worst. And the thing is no matter how bad it was no matter how cruel the things you did to me were. I wanted it I wanted you're worst to prove that i was worthy of being by your side this was my goal this was my end game. And in the end...yes I love you Chad I love you more than anything I have ever loved in my entire life...but more importantly...I win. “ I says with a victorious smile.
“Now do you Chad...take this woman as your wife.”The priest asks.
“Well after that I suppose i have to” Chad says looking at me/
“Do you Take Chad as you're husband till death do you part.” the priest says to me.
“Till my dying breath…and forever after that” I respond.
“Than with the power vested in me I now pronounce you god...and do i really have to say this….”Chad looks sternly at the priest “Fine...God and his Bitch Wife you may now kiss the bride.”
We kiss and it's good he holds me tight in his arms this is my moment my victory i’ve beaten chad he tortured me used me and treated me like garbage but in the end i won. Our lips move together for several moments and than i move my lips to his ear and whisper “I had an abortion” and than I kiss him once more smiling as I pull away i have him Chad is shocked. Chad is shaken I wonder how mad he is but i know that this is my moment in our game...I won. See the reason I had my mom involved in this wasn't just to walk me down the aisle but to drive me to and from the abortion clinic. If she wanted back in my life she had to do that she had to help me execute my end game on Chad.
Later while we are signing the Wedding certificate that's when the end of Lexi Von Aaron truly came. I saw Chad sign his name and I realized that i didn't have to be the girl i was that i wasn't that girl anymore and in fact Lexi wasn't even my real name. Well i didn't just realize it. And it came as mother said “I am so proud of you lexi” In genuine excitement as i was about to sign my name. I hated the name Lexi...I hated the person Lexi because it represented my weakness. Because in truth I may have been known to the world as Lexi Von Aaron. I was always Bianca that was always my birth name the name my father gave me. And that was the name I signed…
That was my rebirth I had won the game with Chad. I had transformed myself and grown more than i ever thought I would. I was ready for a new life. I was ready for more and to have everything that i ever desired….Lexi Von Aaron is Dead…..Long Live….
Bianca Evans.

Apocalypse didn't go exactly as she planned or was this a statement. To show the world that some things aren't meant to be. Katie Steward was handed the opportunity to complete her legacy. She was handed the opportunity to become Supreme Champion and she failed not Bianca. You may say Bianca was pinned but that wasn't her fault. That was Katie's Failure as a partner that was because my Daughter spent the entire match carrying the entire weight of the team on her back alone. She thought she was teaming with a Goddess. A woman that could carry her own weight but...this was Bianca’s one and only mistake she believed that Katie was the woman she was years ago. She believed that Katie wanted this...She wanted to make history.
Ophelia shakes her head is disgust.
Ophelia: Katie let my daughter down because of her weakness because she is a shell of the woman she once was. My daughter stood by her and praised her legacy. She made the mistake of believing she was teaming with someone that wanted to do something amazing. That Katie wanted to do something that would place her name in the company of some of the greats in SCW history. But Katie Steward she pretty much proved herself to be perhaps the greatest case of false advertisement in perhaps the history of everything.
Ophelia: Katie Steward committed a cry against my daughter. My daughter looked up to Katie she gave her an opportunity she made gave up an opportunity at regaining the tag team titles with her husband Chad Evans. But my daughter perhaps the greatest up and coming star in SCW. Saw something in Katie she believed Katie still had it in her she still was the Goddess she once was. The Goddess she still claims to be but that is a LIE. Because a Goddess would not have let her partner down in the manner that Katie Steward let down my daughter,. As a goddess it was Katie’s duty as a goddess. To bring about Victory...so the truth is…
Ophelia. The truth is the one truth is that Katie Steward is a LIAR! So now as I let that sink in as this is the thought i want to leave you with before hear the sweet sound of my beloved daughter. The WIFE OF GOD HIMSELF Chad Evans….Ladies and gentlemen my pride and joy and the greatest thing I could ever claim to have any credit in creating. Bianca Evans.
Ophelia steps away and walks off camera as the curtain behind her pulls open. And We see Bianca Evans sitting on a toll bar stool like chair wearing a black fluffy fur coat. With a silver blouse beneath it. And a wearing a pair of black leather pants with black heels.
Bianca: I apologize for my mother she's ridiculously annoying, a bit of an idiot and she's also unemployed. Wait I’m not sorry but all of the rest of it is true.But My mother despite being both unemployed and stupid is correct in what she said just now.
Bianca: So Apocalypse...I said Apocalypse was the beginning that it was where I begin my journey. And that's what i did tonight. You may not think it with the result you may ignorantly believe that i failed. But that was just one step
Bianca: But now that i’ve done that it's the next step. Because tag team wrestling isn’t my goal. History is my goal. Will i wrestle in tag matches of course it really can't be avoided. But i’m not here to make a division better i’m not here to make any specific title matter. I am here to make history i am here to be the talking point after every show. I am here to go out there every night be it with a microphone or be it in that ring. And make myself the soul focus. Even if i only have a single moment on breakdown you can sure as hell believe i will make it be the one moment you remember.
Bianca:I’m not here to open shows...or just earn my paycheck. I am here to mark my words make history. I am here to make myself the center of SCW by any means necessary. And by the mere fact that i am God's wife this is my right damnit. Earlier this years i had one of the best win loss records in SCW. I left because honestly i hated SCW i hated the politics i hated the favoritism. I hated the fact that there were people in that locker room that aren't even worth cleaning the dirt from my boots with their tongues. Given more opportunities than me. Getting tv time that should have been mine. It's
Bianca: And I wish it was because I wasn't good enough i wish it was. But it's all about who you know. How much money you're “Supporters” put in. Whose ass you kiss. I’ve been here nearly 3 years. And The fact that i get better than i was each day. That I crash through each glass ceiling they “Try” to put over my head. Proves even further just how good i am. There are people within SCW that didn't want me to ever hold a title they never wanted me to ever hold a title because the heat the von aaron name carried. From the things my brother did in here and in IWC. But I’m not my brother he was at one point a perverted asshole who thought he was better than he ever could be. I KNOW I am better than he EVER was. I did that by doing what he could never do by winning the SCW tag team titles.
Bianca: And you think once I showed this company that i was worthy that i could be a champion they would start showing me the damn respect I deserve. But instead they stack the deck against my husband and i. They make it the one match where you can get counted out or dqed and lose a title. They wouldn't have done that to a helms...or a street or the celestial cow but they did that to me they did that to my husband and i because no team had what it takes to beat us in the ring. No team had it in them to be good enough to pin either of us or make us submit.
Bianca: Chad then came back my sweet hubby and nearly won Taking hold of the flame. So close yet again my love but so far. He’s always been great when motivated he’s always been able to adapt with the times. He sent me back here to SCW to make my own story. Yes he is a part of it. He always will be till the day we are both dead. But right now it isn't his story...it's mine. Gods bitch...Wife. And I am going to make history. Bianca Evans will be the name on everyone's lips. Be it from my actions inside the ring or out it makes no difference because each show whether you love me or you hate me I will be the one you will be talking about. And not cause of my ass or how attractive i am. No because of my actions. I’ve transformed myself because i don't need to wear short skirts. I don't need to have my ass half out. Or look like some fetish the idiot fanboys may have. I am here to win...to take advantage of every opportunity I earn because believe me i will have earned each and every opportunity i will have earned each moment of SCW television time i receive. Because I am that good because i am better than everyone else in this company.
Bianca: The Tag titles...they aren’t enough for me...for me they are just the opening act of my legacy. And what an opening Act winning the tag titles from two beloved world champions. One who would move on to main event and win rise to greatness. And another...who didn't end up quite so well. But that's not important now what is...is the future. IS the Right now not the relics of the past that litter this company. That take up time that young talent that talent that is just hitting it's prime should be getting. But instead we are getting yet another scw equivalent of another shitty jurassic park sequel.
Bianca: I am not alone in this belief that SCW is obsessed with becoming some sort of decrypt old folks home. The SCW Champion Sienna Swann she agrees with me. We don't want to see Syren vs Starr for the one thousandth time. We don't want to hear Rayvn Drown on about how smart she is. Or Chbk drag his decomposing corpse out to the ring again in an attempt to steal the spotlight yet again. The time of the Ancients is over. It is time for SCW to step forward to step into the future. Our Numbers are only growing. Young talented wrestlers who don't want to just open the show. Don't want to wait for their spot in line. We want to TAKE what we deserve.
Bianca:I for one am not going to wait in line when someone takes their 30th shot at the SCW Title before i’ve had my first. I am not going to warm up the crowd to work my ass for some giaratric ass. It's time for the future and these Fossils they aren't going to accept that. No they are just as entitled as they are old. We need to TAKE what is rightfully ours. And I am going to do just that with YOU Katie Steward.
Bianca :I gift wrapped the chance to make history to be a supreme champion. And you failed I didn't fail you did. It is ALL your fault. You were selfish and weak and that is why we aren’t tag team champions right now. That is why I didn't get to make the moment of history i promised. But you have something I want...The title of Goddess Katie...I want it. I deserve it. I am the wife of GOD HIMSELF Chad Evans. You need to face the reality that I am everything you were in your prime. Before you were relegated to preshows and hardly an afterthought. When you were the focus of this company when this world revolves around you instead of barely noticing you like it does now.
Bianca: See I saw this as going one of two ways you pass the torch to me. In thanks for handing you the one accolade you had failed to achieve or I take it from you by force. That is what this is about that's what it was always about from the moment i came back. Tj was just the beginning I will take everyone from you. I will beat your daughters if that's what it takes. I will break Robin Brooks arm. I will cripple each and every member of you're little brat pack. If that is what needs to be done. Because I am the future...and you are the fuse that the torch of my legacy will be lit from. You surround yourself with people that tell you how great you are. Like tj...which by the way i hope he delivered the message to you. That I will never beg...for ANYTHING again. I don't ASK for what I want I TAKE it. You are a legend in this company...one of the greatest ever. But you’ve stayed past you're time because let me see….
Bianca checks her phone.
Bianca: Well what do you know it says your time is up. And it's time for someone else to take up that flame. You're daughters they can't. They just don't have it in them. It's MY TIME NOW. I already took your place at Chad’s side. I already did the one thing you couldnt. And I am not finished because I am going to make my legacy in this company. And beating you is what i am going to do. Katie I am coming for you…And not just to pin you in that ring...not just to make you submit but for so much more.
Bianca: Fatal Fortunes...This is something that you can never tell where you are going to be. Anything can happen. You are going in blind to what may be just another day in SCW. Or the biggest opportunity of a lifetime. I could be facing some idiot like Total Terror. Or I could finally have an opportunity at that is a career highlight. I am preparing for the latter. I am going into this show preparing to face the very best in SCW. I am training with the idea that since I am God's Wife. I will be given the opportunity I DESERVE. I am putting my chips on the table with the confidence knowing whatever is put in front of me. I am going to get everything I can out of it.
Bianca: Three years i have waited i have been patient i have been one of the hottest acts in this company. And I have yet to get what I deserve I have yet to be treated with the prestige that should be given to me. So the obvious solution is to forget about being given what I deserve and TAKE it. Snatch up whatever i can not like a rat taking the scraps...But like a bird of prey swooping down and snatching that rat and tearing it apart.
Bianca: Boss man...You are looking at one of the people on this roster that is going to be carrying this company for years to come. I am ready for whatever match you give me. What ever opponent...I will WIN. I will beat who ever you put against me because i am done playing games I am done being manipulated or doing anything anyone else that isn't me. I have this belief you see that fate...It's on my side. That i am going to hit the jackpot in these nights it doesn't matter if it's week one or two. Part of me obviously hopes that on night one i hear my name called and i walk through that curtain and All eyes will be on me. And you Boss man will see with your own eyes why despite everything i’ve done. Despite all of the trouble i’ve caused. All the valuable members of this roster that i came from a second from crippling. I know i’ve been a pain in the ass. I know i’ve been a sliver away from being unemployed. But Now for your patience boss man for the faith you had in me. It's all going to pay off. I am going to show you that every penny of my contract that scw pays me. Is worth tenfold. That I am the greatest investment this company has ever made. I am you're building block to the future. And you can talk about my demons...about my past issues. But In that ring you can NEVER deny that I have DELIVERED each and every time SCW has bet on me.
Bianca: Boss man you’ve gotta just face the facts. That this bitch right here...me Bianca Evans. I am this company's future. I am that once and a lifetime talent company’s just pray falls into their laps. This isn't spoken from ego or some bullshit false sense of entitlement like some other idiots in that locker room. GOD HIMSELF has gifted you with the new franchise of this company. You can take those old mules you’ve been dragging out for years. Out back and put a bullet between their eyes...Or better yet allow me the pleasure but not just a bullet A “B-Trigger”
Bianca says pointing to the camera with both hands in a gun like gesture.
Bianca: It's time that this company takes another step in the future. I said it already I am not alone there are others that agree with me. That it is time for change it is time for a new SCW. It's the nature of Business Boss man. You know it's true SCW needs to change with the times it NEEDS to evolve. If it doesn't it's going to fall apart just like these relics we have on the roster are. Injured bruised and broken shattered visions of the stars they once were. SCW has been a kind employer to these people but the truth is it's time for SCW to move on it's time for SCW to back a new horse. It's time to get over the long term denial SCW it's time to stop hitting rewind and retreading the same thing for the millionth time. Accept the Future accept the reality that it's time to move on.
Bianca: I am OUT OF PATIENCE! I am Sick of waiting for my time to come. I am SICK and tired of being told to just take a damn spot in line. I am NOT going to wait in line for a second longer while others who have had the opportunities i deserve hundreds of times. Get second chance after second chance. SCW doesn't belong to the relics of the past. No more waiting this Bitch is coming into fatal fortunes with the intent purpose of making an impact of taking advantage of any and every situation. If you don't believe me just sit back and watch the show...As I steal it. It's this bitch here’s time!
Bianca says pointing to herself.

The rattle of chains and cages can be heard, overcut by footsteps moving closer and closer to the source of the sounds. As the poorly-lit corridor illuminates, Damian Angel can be seen walking through his catacombs until he reaches his caged quarters…
The home of Behemoth, Malphas, and Kali, the trio who complete Har Megiddo. Damian walks to them, a smirk on his face as they turn away from each other, facing him up front. Damian sets his cane against the wall behind him, stepping forward and opening their cages. They step through, surrounding their leader.
Damian: “The time is at hand…”
Damian turns to walk away from them, expecting the trio to follow. However, they do not. Damian, not hearing footsteps behind him, stops, turning his head in their general direction.
Damian: “It’s time to go.”
He remains in place, his head turned towards the three, who confer amongst themselves. Damian, growing impatient, turns to face them.
Damian: “We have a war to attend to. You three are my soldiers. I am your General and when your General says “march”, you march. Do you understand?”
They do not answer. Instead, they snarl and stand in place, prompting Damian to completely turn towards them, a forced smile on his face.
Damian: “We are at a critical impasse in our quest to purge the cancer that is Supreme Championship Wrestling out of the landscape. And while you three have failed me before, I am still offering you a pivotal role in the change. And when we are successful, you will be subject to riches beyond your limited comprehensions. You will be revered almost as highly as I am. Do you understand?”
The trio look to each other… Kali steps forward.
Kali: “No more cages.”
Damian cocks his eyebrow, a smirk forming in the corner of his mouth.
Damian: “Demands?”
Kali: “No more chains.”
Damian steps forward, surveying the lone woman and de facto leader of the trio when Damian is not around. He looks her up and down, circling around her like a shark.
Damian: “Fine. I’ll return your quarters to the tower.”
Damian turns to walk down the corridor.
Damian: “Now let’s go. We don’t want to be late.”
Without further questioning, Kali begins to follow Damian, soon followed by Malphas and Behemoth. The quartet exits the dungeon quarters and the scene fades.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KALI
“Fatal Fortunes… hehehe… I love the name of it! The fortune you seek can be SNATCHED out of your grasp, and you will be left writing and bleeding, left FATALLY wounded! It’s just so DELICIOUS, isn’t it? Damian tells us that this is our chance to bring some CHAOS to SCW… to take on some poor SUCKERS who think they’re going to get ahead… but they won’t get ahead, oh no! Not on us! No… they’re going to STAND in front of us and FALL under our feet! We are going to take whoever is put in front of us and make them SUFFER! It isn’t wins and losses… we’re not your typical “rasslers”. Har Megiddo isn’t a group… it’s a storm! IT’S A GALE FORCE HURRICANE TEARING THROUGH YOUR TOWN! Leaving you destitute! You make FATAL… hehehe… FATAL mistakes every time you treat us like we’re JUST ANOTHER GROUP! WE ARE NOTHING LIKE YOU! And we will not hesitate to do WHATEVER WE DAMN WELL PLEASE to leave you broken, bloodied and EMPTY Inside! Your little bells… I LOVE your little bells ringing! DING DING DING DING DING!!! You use them thinking they will STOP us, but they just ENCOURAGE us! And through Fatal Fortunes… hehehehehe… we will DESTROY you!”
MALPHAS
“It is written that people oppose what they do not understand… what they FEAR. You are right to stand against Har Megiddo. You are right to FEAR US! You are right to fear ME. I have been imbued with great power by our master, Damian Angel, and that power releases me from the bonds and restrictions that had once dragged me down. That power frees me from your rules and your expectations. I answer to one master alone – and it is not you people. It is Damian, and when He bids that I rip apart some poor, hapless individual, I do so without hesitation. Whether you understand or not, whether you accept my position or not, I do what He bids. And I… and Har Megiddo… we are not alone. What you do not TRULY understand is that we are not alone. You look at us… you see us three standing behind The Devil Himself, and you think we are the end of it. We are only the beginning. You think His influence stops with us? Do not be fooled. You think escaping us ends the threat of Har Megiddo? It. Does. Not. We are everywhere. We are always watching… waiting… and ready to rip you apart!”
BEHEMOTH
“I WILL DESTROY ANY WHO STAND IN MY PATH! YOUR NAMES… YOUR REPUTATIONS… ARE IRRELEVANT! I WILL CRUSH YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS AND WEAR YOUR BLOOD AS A BADGE! YOU WILL NEVER SURVIVE BEHEMOTH!!”

“This should be fun,” Abigail Lindsay said to Katelyn Buehler while looking at her menu as they wait for Dawn and Daisy at Homestead On The Roof, a restaurant on the rooftop of Roots Homemade Pizza.
For Katelyn, Abigail knew those magic four words were music to her ears. To the company they are expecting to join them on this day? (Or anyone for that matter) Her saying ‘this will be fun’ are words they normally dread. And that is the way she prefers it. She enjoys the notion of keeping people on their toes. Life is best enjoyed without knowing what is going to happen next, in truth, Abigail didn’t know what was going to happen next. All she knew is she wanted this double date more than anything. What happens next, she hopes Dawn will find a way to forgive her if everything went wrong...
Abigail suggested weeks ago that herself, Dawn, Katelyn and Daisy Lee spend a night on the town together. Why not? They earned it. Dawn’s main concern was if Daisy would feel comfortable being out among a huge group of people. From what Dawn has told Abigail, Daisy has her good and bad days, nothing over the top, the whole ‘Red Rayne’ thing. For Abigail, the curious bee in her finds Red Rayne fascinating. Strange response? Probably. As the SCW universe has found out, Abigail is far from normal herself. Dawn did come through for Abi. Daisy agreed to join them in Chicago. That made Abigail more excited then Dawn was anticipating. Hence the worry on Dawn’s end. Abigail feels Dawn does trust her, what Dawn will always been anticipating is what the heck Abigail will say next.
Katelyn leans over to kiss Abigail on the cheek. “Every moment with you is fun.”
Abigail set the menu down. She looks into the sparkling eyes of her girlfriend. “You always find the sweetest things to say.”
“I can’t help it.” Katelyn smirks.
Abigail takes a quick scan of the restaurant, everyone is consumed either eating their food, having idle conversations with their current company, the waiters at the establishment are going about their normal business. She checks her watch wondering what is taking Dawn and Daisy so long. Shrugging, she leans in, kisses Kate on lips. Then she presses her lips next to Katelyn’s year.
“I dropped my pen.” Abigail mischievously says.
“I didn’t see with-” Katelyn stops herself. “Oh? But your sister and Daisy could be here any minute.”
Abigail mischievous whispers. “And...”
Abigail pulls away. Katelyn takes a quick scan of the restaurant to see if anyone is watching. Before Katelyn can make any move to “retrieve Abigail’s pen;” Abigail sighs seeing Daisy and Dawn step onto the rooftop. She waves at them to come over where they are seated. Dawn pulls a chair out for Daisy. She sits down. Dawn takes a seat herself.
Abigail nudges Katelyn in the shoulder. “Kate... pen.”
“Not now.” Katelyn giggles.
“You dropped your pen, Abi? I can get it for you” Dawn says looking to be helpful.
Abi and Kate both look at each other. They share an all knowing laugh. Dawn looks at both of them confused why they are having a blast over the most mundane thing. Daisy on the other hand does not appear comfortable at all as she does her best to avoid soaking in her surroundings.
“That’s okay, Dawnie. Perfectly fine.” Abigail smirks.
“Aren’t you going to pick up your pen?” Dawn ask.
Abigail waves Dawn off.“No worries. Both of you are here.” Abigail says with a smile. She looks at Daisy. “That’s the most important. Daisy. You look stunning.”
With a stoic expression on her face, Daisy says “Thanks...” Then Daisy looks at Katelyn. “This isn’t awkward for you?”
Katelyn shakes her head. “Nope. Not at all. I don’t hold your sister putting mine in a wheelchair against you. Clean slate as far as I’m concerned.”
Daisy nods, “Good to know.”
The exchange between Katelyn and Daisy brought a smile to Dawn’s face.
Abigail clears her throat. This makes Kate, Dawn and Daisy collectively turn their attention to her. “Ladies, thanks for agreeing to this lovely get together. Means a lot. Granted, Katelyn will follow me into a desert if I asked. That in itself is besides the point. The four of us have come a long way. You two...” she points to Dawn and Daisy, “went from two members of a colorful blood cult to lovers. Me and Kate? You already know our story. True loves prevails in the end. So I was told. We need to remember to stop to smell the roses from time to time. Tonight is all about celebrating the fun times.”
As moving as Abigail’s speech was, Dawn tilts her head to the side. “Abi...”
“Yes dear.” Abigail responds.
“You’re right. We have come along way. I’m just curious, what do you have planned?”
“I’m hurt.” Abigail frowns. “Would I really try anything with a roof top full of people?”
Kate, Abi and Daisy collectively give Abigail the ‘who are you trying to fool’ look. This makes Abigail smirk. “Relax Dawnie. Nothing out of the ordinary is going to happen. Scouts honor.”
Dawn half halfheartedly smirks. “That’s not reassuring.”
“Dawn--” Katelyn interjects. “Enjoy the show. Nothing bad is going to happen.”
“Don’t mind me. I just want tonight to be perfect.” Dawn grabs Daisy’s hand. “Thanks for inviting us.”
“What would make this night even more perfect? If Britt was here. Still holding out hold for Brittany and your sister, Daisy.” Abigail winks in Daisy’s direction. Reminding everyone that at one point Brittany was so horny for Rachel once (probably still is...) cuts the tension in the air. Katelyn; Dawn, even Daisy collectively laughs.
“Don’t let Britt hear you say that.” Dawn smiles.
“Hey! You’re the one who preaches about hope; I learned from the best.” Abigail responds.
“Don’t put this on me.” Dawn
“It could happen.” Daisy cuts in.
Dawn curiously looks at Daisy. “It could?”
Daisy shrugs. “Life is unpredictable. Like your sister said. I was your... mother. Look at us now. Stranger things have happened.”
“See, Dawnie.” Abigail says with great enthusiasm. “Daisy gets it.”
Abigail extends her fist over the table. Daisy bumps fist with Abi. This brings a smile to Dawn’s face. So far, so good. The evening has been in her point of view, wonderful.
Idle chat followed. A white female waiter with blonde hair made herself available to the foursome. Abi ordered a 16 oz New York Strip Steak. Katelyn ordered Roast Chicken. Dawn requested the Alaskan Halibut, and Daisy order the Filet Mignon. When the waiter went away, Dawn cautiously looked at her sister. “Are you sure you’ll pay for all this?”
Abigail nudges Kate. “Show’em Kate.”
Katelyn digs into her wallet to produce a black card. Dawn and Daisy are taken by surprise that Kate has a black card, she has never been known for making outlandish purchases. “Blake gave it to me. I didn’t want to take it. He insisted. I mainly use this if the kids really need anything. He wouldn’t mind us putting this to good use.”
Taken aback, Dawn says; “Wow. Never expected that.”
“Blake has made a lot of mistakes. Haven’t we all? I have. The biggest mistake I nearly cost me the love of my life.” Katelyn kisses Abigail on the cheek. She blushes instantly.
“You know how to make a girl feel special, Kate.”
Katelyn places her hand on Abigail’s, “Can’t help it.”
“There’s still a pen on the floor, Kate.” Abigail giggles.
Katelyn briefly looks at Dawn, then Daisy, then back to Abigail. With a mischievous grin she ask, “Are you sure?”
The light bulb finally goes off in Dawn’s head. Up until now she believed Abigail was talking about a literal pen. She sighs to herself for not getting the context of what Abigail is saying. “Now I get it.”
Daisy looks at Dawn. “Get--” Not wanting to leave Daisy out of the inside joke, Dawn leans over to whisper in Daisy’s ear what Abigail has been alluding to since the both of them arrived for dinner. At first, Daisy’s widen, she knows Abigail can be out there. Didn’t figure Abi to be that much of an exbitiionist. Once the shock wears off, Daisy shakes her head.
“Come on...” Abigail pouts. “It's better when people watch.”
“I disagree.” Dawn insist.
“Still hung up on the whole sister thing? Does it make it half awkward that we’re half sisters?”
Dawn shakes her head. In response, Abigail smirks. Katelyn shakes her head while chuckling underneath her breath. Daisy looks at everyone likely thinking what the heck did I just get into.
“Ok. Fine.” Abigail shrugs. “It's no secret that I love to play games. A girl has to entertain herself somehow. Kate, Dawnie, you girls know me well enough that I try the best I can do be who I am without complicating your lives too much. Chaos can’t be controlled. It can be minimized to an extent. I do get my thrills cheaply. Could be worse. I could be New Eden Abigail all over again. Fun times, right?”
Everyone at the table shakes their head as Abigail expected. “Thought so. I want to run an idea by you girls. Don’t freak out. It has the possibility of being fun.”
Abigail takes a deep breath. “Daisy, you said it was possible that Britt could get everything she ever wanted. How about we test that theory.”
Daisy responds. “What do you suggest.”
“WE... the four of us find a way to see if we can nudge Britt and Rachel together.”
Katelyn, Dawn and Daisy didn’t know how to react at first. The idea of ribbing Brittany for her obsession about Rachel was a funny talking point, to but to try to make magic happen? Only Abigail could come up with a chaotic idea like that. Dawn is the first to speak up, “Slight problem with that, Abi. Rachel is married. Britt found happiness with Matty Stone.”
Abigail shrugs. “So?”
“This was going well.” Daisy remarked. She leans forward, subtly glaring at Abigail. “I am not up for disrupting my sister’s life for you play matchmaker.”
Abigail nonchalantly replies, “Do you truly think, in your heart of hearts, that Josh Hudson is the guy?”
Daisy ponders what Abigail just said. Leaning back in her chair, she responds, “I have my doubts about him, yes. Rachel loves him. Nothing we can do about it.”
Abigail drinks from her glass of water. “This isn’t about love or my desire to see what could come of this. At the end of the day, this is about the established order of things. We will all win. The Lee/Lohan connection has always been strong. We can solidify that.”
“What about Matty?” Dawn interjects, “What about our niece [Miranda]? She has taken a liking to him. We can’t play God with people’s lives like this.”
“Your sister is right, sweetie.” Katelyn grabs Abigail’s hand. “I know you mean well. I truly do. Love conquers all in the end. If Brittany and Rachel are meant to be, they will be meant to be. No games. Please. Drop this.”
Abigail looks into Kate’s eyes as her girlfriend pleads with her to drop this idea that playing matchmaker for a second time is not the career path she wishes to take. Especially this. Abi doesn’t take long to ponder her reckless decision. She sighs. “Ok. Fine.”
Katelyn, proud of Abi for listening to her, hugs Abi as tight as she can. Abi frowns, denying herself a chance to play a dangerous game. Dawn, on the other hand, smiles at the fact Katelyn does have some influence over her sister. That’s a positive. Daisy, she breathes a sigh of relief. Could have gotten awkward.
Dawn says with appreciation, “Thanks Abi.”
Abi kisses Kate to let her know she appreciates her for being the good person that she is. Soon, the female waiter returns to the table with some of the dishes in her hand. She places a plate in front of Dawn and Daisy. As the evening continues, all Abigail can think about is the next game she wants to play. She has every intention of dropping the Brittany-Rachel ship. She needed to have fun. Just a matter of where she gets her next fix...
Abigail stands up. All three look at her. With a charming smile she says, “Ladies room is calling my name.”
Abigail makes the long walk all the way to the bathroom. Once inside, she locks the door to ensure no one comes in. As she stares in the mirror, she thinks about the time Supreme Championship Wrestling went to Las Vegas to do a show. She closes her eyes...
~~3 Weeks Ago~~
A day prior to SCW Breakdown, Abigail and numerous SCW employees stopped by Klub Kaos. What makes the trip to this particular club special is that is a business owned by a woman who played a role in the career, Cindy Todd. Via the relationship she had with Willow, that was her ticket into New Eden. The group dominated IWC for a time. New Eden suffered the fate most groups refuse to see coming, the end, Abigail’s end came with Cindy Todd herself when the lovely ladies of Seraglio assaulted Abigail. Cindy delivered the final blow. Beatdowns like the one that put Abigail in the hospital is water under the bridge. She made up with Cindy awhile ago. Anyone else would likely hate Cindy for what transpired. Abigail knew she had the beatdown coming. She embraced it. As much as one can, that is. As Abigail sits in the office of Cindy Todd sharing a glass of wine with her former mentor, she feels a sense of comfort. Good to be home. A home among many in her times of nomadding herself around the country as well as wrestling companies all throughout the world.
“Cheers to living our best lives.” Abigail held up her wine glass.
Cindy, who is sitting behind her desk, stoically looks at Abigail. One of the many things that draws her to Cindy is, she never knew what Cindy was thinking at any given moment in time. Cindy picks up her glass. Nonchalantly, Cindy says; “Are you certain you’re living yours?”
Abigail nods, “Of course. I’m tag champion with my sister. Katelyn is where she belongs. Can’t get any better than this.”
Cindy pushes the chair away from the desk. She stands up. Walking around the desk, she sits down on the desk in front of Abigail. With her arms folded, Cindy matter of factly says, “Sure it can, when you’re honest with yourself.”
Abigail replies. “No need to lie.”
“Didn’t say you were lying, Abigail. We have a unique understanding of each other. No one understands the depths of who you are better than I do.”
Not taking her eyes off Cindy, Abigail says, “Better than me?”
“Yes. Quite.” Cindy nods. “I’m happy for you. Truly, I am. I still see you living the same habitual pattern you always have. It all comes down to you living in two separate worlds, their world, and the one you created inside of your own head. The Abigail I know wakes up every day thinking about how she is going to play the game. You think about what pieces on the chess board to move in order to get the result you want. Your smart. You know you need to blend in to an extent. I do it too. This club, provides a good cover to entertain my fetishes.”
Abigail knows all too well what Cindy’s fetishes are. They are not for the weak at heart. Cindy continues, “This club serves as mine. Yours? You created this flirtatious persona, masquerading as this minx, when that can be further from the truth. You live most of your days in their world. Loving girlfriend who doesn’t care what you do. Teaming with a unique woman who if it wasn’t for the fact that she is your sister, I would show her the real horrors of this world. The SCW fans have taken a liking to you. It’s obvious why.”
Cindy takes a moment to give Abigail a once over. Abi is no stranger to the predatory eyes of Cindy. Intoxicating to say the least. “The people in their world will never understand what beauty plays around in your mind. I do. What I am saying Abigail is honor yourself. Test your limits. Be... Serenity. The Princess of Chaos.”
Abigail takes a moment to soak in everything Cindy said to her. “Wow, I wasn’t expecting that.”
“Why dance around the issue? Isn’t that why you came?”
“I do miss you, silly.” Abigail smirks. “I don’t expect Dawnie, Katelyn to get what goes on in my head. I like that. They are good people.”
Cindy says coldly, “Does a good person cheat on you?”
“Water under the bridge.” Abigail shrugs. “The heart wants what it wants. My life is richer with Katelyn in it, you disagree.”
“Naturally.” Cindy nods. “She isn’t my cup of tea, as long as she makes you happy.”
Abigail points to her heart. “She does.”
“For her sake, she better not screw it up.”
“Aww, you care.”
“Did you ever doubt that?”
Abigail stands up. She closes the gap between her and The Queen of Chaos “Nope.”
“Good” Cindy places her hands on Abigail’s shoulder. “This feels... nice.”
“Intoxicating. Thanks for the pep talk.”
“Anytime Serenity... anytime.”
~~Present Day~~
Abigail opens her eyes. Thinking about her interaction with Cindy caused her to lose track of time. She couldn’t tell how long she had been in the bathroom. She opened the door. Heading back out on the rooftop, from afar, she stood there looking at Dawn, Daisy and Katelyn chat it up. She loves the world she is a part of. There will always be a part of her that wonders, are the minor games she plays enough to sustain her. Does she need to up the ante? How far does she need to go to feel, alive? Fiddling around with her hair she goes back to her table ready to enjoy the evening. From the ashes of eden she found paradise... or has she?
==
<Promo Time>
An empty Yankee Stadium is where the scene opens on this day. Abigail Lindsay and Dawn Lohan can be seen standing next to each other on the pitcher's mound. Both of them are wearing their respective half of the World Tag Team Championships. Dawn steps slightly forward, indicating that she is going to start the proceedings.
Bree’s tweet on Monday highlighting that Andrew Raynes and Josh Hudson are the Adrenaline and Television Champion respectively, brings to light how important Fatal Fortune is. As of right now, Sienna Swann is the World Champion. Bree is the United States Champion. Andrew Raynes, the Adrenaline and longest reigning champion in SCW right now. With Josh Hudson’s win over Alexis Quinne, that means the only championship Past, Present, Future and their allies don’t hold are the World Tag Team Championships. There is a real chance by the time Fatal Fortunes concludes. Past, Present, Future and their allies will hold all the gold in Supreme Championship Wrestling. That would make for an interesting reality.I hold no ill will towards Regan and Sienna, stating that for the record. Don’t know Josh very well. Can’t say I approve of the way Andrew Raynes carries himself. Bree, heh, the last time we had facetime, it was before she took a turn for the worse. Can’t say I know Dustin Adams; only what Brittany has told me from their time in VWA together. For an entire group and their allies to hold every championship would be a career defining feat. As one half of your World Tag Team Champions, I can’t allow that. Not because I feel the need to defend SCW against that collective. I take it as a personal challenge being the last line of defense.
I imagine the fans not being comfortable with them having a complete monopoly over all the championships. Can you imagine Lohan Country starting off the night riding down to the ring waiting on who we are going to defend our titles against. Either the TrueLove Twins or The Brotherhood of the Sith’s music plays. The fans groan. They are sitting in their seats wondering, oh no, PPF and their allies could own every championship belt in the company. You won’t hear me groan. Lohan Country would greet the challenge with a smile. Why? Can’t speak for Abi. You know me, I’m a believer in hope, in the darkest of moments is when you can shine the most. Past, Present, Future and their allies are what make this sport great. All of them are great wrestlers. Having the chance to potentially test ourselves against The TrueLove Twins or The Brotherhood of The Sith, isn’t that what Fatal Fortunes is all about? To tell you the truth. I want that. I want the chance to be the last line of defense. Preventing a monopoly from happening sounds like a wonderful idea to me.
Dawn smiles. She looks to Abigail to see if she wants to speak. Her younger sister shakes her head. With Abigail having nothing to say at the moment, Dawn continues.
“A couple weeks ago, Abi asked me a question on Twitter, what sounded better. Should we welcome Chicago to Lohan Country or should we say Lohan Country is invading Chicago. I replied back, two people don’t make a country, an invasion sounds silly. That’s my sister for you; ever the jokester. Then we beat Bianca Evans and Katie Steward in an epic match, that got me thinking. What is Lohan Country exactly other than a nickname Britt gave our family. You know, I came up with a wonderful answer; to me and Abi, anyway, the rest of you might not think it’s wonderful. Life is about having fun. So here, we, go.”
“Ladies and gentlemen... the tag team division is OFFICIALLY Lohan Country.”
Where else are you going to find the most talented. Hottest. Delectable. Tasty. Scrumptious.
With a confused look on Dawn’s face, she cuts in.
“Wait. You’re not talking about your girl crush?”
Need to be more specific, Dawnie.
“Do I really need to say it?”
Can’t leave the audience in suspense.
Dawn whispers the answer in Abigail’s ear. Abigail giggles.
Ah. Right. Lets keep that between us.
Dawn nods. She presses on.
“Everyone is entitled to their opinion. That’s what it is, an opinion. You can believe you are the best tag team in SCW, until you hold what Abi and I have, then your claims of being the best fall on deaf ears. How many times can we hear or see The TrueLove Twins tweet twin killing this, twin killing that. If they are the alleged best tag team in the world, why rely on The Network?
Dawn turns to Abigail once again.
“Are you sure you have nothing to say?”
Abigail shakes her head.
“You are on a roll. Why bother? Now that I think about it, Angelica Jones did say she is here to light a fire under the tag division.”
Dawn raises an eyebrow.
“Really now?”
Abigail nods. Dawn rolls her eyes.
“I respectfully disagree. I am going to chalk it up to her not paying attention. The tag team division is red hot. All started back when Bianca and Chad won the tag team titles. Both of them lit a fire under the division, antagonizing anyone who stood up to them. Max was determined to beat them. A Gauntlet match was born due to Bianca Evans begging for competition. At Taking Hold of the Flame, me and Max defended against a very game David Callahan and Sophie James. Before that? Har Meddigo gave us their best shot. Five teams. Count’em, FIVE TEAMS...
“Technically, four and a half.”
Right. Four and a half fought their hearts out on the biggest stage of the year, Rise to Greatness to walk out champions. Can’t forget during our match with Evans and Steward, every tag team in the division was shown watching the match. If that isn’t fired up, then I don’t know what tag team division Angelica is looking at. SCW, now and forever, will have the best tag team division in the world. This isn’t company shilling. There is no dispute. Angelica’s comment in my eyes comes down to her thinking there is something wrong. This division does not need saving. Unlike Angelica, who was watching, or barely watching doing whatever she was doing for the past year, I have been here since Unflawed. If anyone is qualified to speak about the state of the division, it is me. Not her! If Fate chooses Redemption, Lohan Country will show her, live and in living colour the division is in GOOD hands.
“Make no mistake 2018 is an exciting year for the tag wrestling. Name one division in SCW that has been more lively? The World Title scene. The same faces. The US Title picture? Regan carried the division for most of the year. Hasn’t been the same since she lost the title. Andrew dominated the Adrenaline Division. The TV Title is always chaotic. There is always a tag team stepping up. Whether it was Bianca and Chad. David and Sophie. The Red Empire. Resurgence getting back together. The Twins dedication to be the best. What a time to believe. I don’t want to hear any talk about ‘lighting fire in the division.” The tag division was fine with Angelica Jones. The division will be fine without her.Fatal Fortunes will showcase the tag division like it has never been showcased before. No matter who Fate chooses, the tag division will be properly represented. There is no disputing that.”
Abigail sits down on the pitchers mound. She crosses her legs in the classic meditation pose. Cupping her hands in the classic prayer motion, she closes her eyes.
I got two words for whoever fate sends our way...
With a smile on her face she says...
Serenity Now.
Abigail opens her eyes. The usual playful light she normally emits is gone. There is a coldness radiating from her. With just two words she has flipped a switch she hasn’t yet in her SCW stay. She reaches out to Dawn. Her sister assist her back to her feet. Abigail and Dawn lock eyes for a brief moment, by the worried expression on Dawn’s face she knows what ‘Serenity Now’ means. It is the darker side of Abigail she showed the IWC universe. The side that became the IWC World Champion. The side that welcomes and inflicts chaos at a moments notice. The looks of concern washes away. Dawn offers a solemn smirk, giving her seal of approval for whatever comes next. Lohan Country walks off camera as the scene fades to darkness.

OOC: I was able to scrap together something more for Aaron Blackbourne, but due to the illness I mentioned in Thirteen's RP thread I did have to cut a part I wasn't able to get finished in time because I was too tired trying to sleep this off to get it finished, but I might be able to salvage it for a future RP at least.
----------------------------------------------------------
To say that the past few weeks have been awkward for Aaron Blackbourne would be quite the understatement.
Roughly two weeks ago on Breakdown, his latest run with the TV Title came to an abrupt end after a back-and-forth battle with former World Champion Alexis Quinne. Simply put, Aaron got caught and paid the price, and while he could at least take solace in the fact that this reign exceeded his previous one in both length and successful defenses, it still stung that the hard work he put in to win the belt at Rise to Greatness had already ceased to exist. Perhaps if there was something waiting in the aftermath he could at least have something else to preoccupy his mind, but that simply didn’t seem like the case as he was given the previous Breakdown off from action to recover following several weeks in a row of competing, and it didn’t seem like there were any plans for him to be in action for Apocalypse tonight either. He would still be at the arena, especially in support of his friend Owen Cruze when he did battle with Regan Street, but other than that he would need to figure something out going forward.
What certainly didn’t help was this new admirer he seemed to have, and as the weeks began to pass Aaron was starting to become more and more unnerved by the situation even if he did his best to maintain his calm when the cameras were trained on him. Clearly Scarlet Grey was enamored with him, and as flattered as he was the fact of the matter is she was several months too late. His heart already belonged to Liane, and if the fact they were still hesitant about the subject of being in anything less than their everyday clothes around one another was any indication, what they had together had nothing to do with sex appeal. That seemed to be Scarlet’s driving force, and between flaunting her own body freely before him and clearly trying to see him beyond even his wrestling attire, she was making him uncomfortable. The fact that she’d even invited him to watch Apocalypse with her from a private hotel room didn’t sit well with him either, as even if his actual relationship was taken out of the equation he knew that simply watching the show together would likely be the last thing she’d want to do. Scarlet was being extremely forward, and no matter how attractive she was Aaron got a bad feeling whenever she was near him. It was the same feeling he got the few times he’d been around his brother Andrew’s boyfriend… a feeling that sent chills down his spine and told him bad things would happen if he actually gave in to this woman who was such a free spirit when it came to her body that he doubted she actually wanted anything significant with him beyond just claiming she scored.
The whole situation with Scarlet also creating a storm on the horizon that he was nervous about dealing with. When he’d headed to Pittsburgh for the Breakdown that signaled the end of his title reign, he and Liane had separated after he’d gotten a call from Pete about how the tattoo artist had managed to convince a local comedy club to give Liane a chance as their headliner, so she’d spent these past couple of weeks back in Seattle performing. He had no doubt she was still keeping up with his SCW endeavors and had seen what was going on in regards to Scarlet Grey, and the fact they hadn’t really had any contact in that time made him worry she was looking at this the wrong way like everyone else was initially. The current plan was for the two of them to reunite as she was flying out to Chicago so she could join Aaron in watching the pay-per-view, then from there things would resume as normal unless she got called for more gigs after two weeks of nonstop performances every night. He just wanted to try and clear the situation up before it gained any negative traction and ultimately endangered their relationship, because Liane meant so much to Aaron’s life and he couldn’t afford to lose that.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, things weren’t entirely organized inside Aaron’s head either. Leading up to the Breakdown in Las Vegas where he’d defended the TV Title against AJ Helms, he had a moment where he’d completely lost control of his creative landscape. The last thing he remembered was Ferrugo fighting of his own accord with the Twin Stars while Nemesis seemed to mastermind the whole ordeal, even redirecting Aaron’s attempt at mental solitude to make sure he was aware of it. When you factored in how easily he’d suddenly lost control of himself and nearly beheaded a comedy club owner because of his refusal to let Liane perform on a clearly advertised open mic night, something was very wrong and he needed some way to piece everything back together. This was why he’d decided to try a little bit of meditation before heading to the airport to pick up Liane, and he could only hope he was able to sort himself out before that encounter.
If he didn’t start to right this ship, he could feel it was destined to sink and cost him everything he was finally earning for himself.
Before going to pick Liane up, Aaron decided to spend some time meditating back in his hotel room, trying to steer himself to his “safe place” inside his mind in order to hopefully sort things out. Within an hour or two, he had gotten his mind in order for the time being, but now he needed to see how well that was going to hold up.
He could feel his nerves clashing with the calm he was trying desperately to maintain as he stood in the arrivals area of Chicago O’Hare International Airport, eyes carefully scanning the crowd for the familiar head of brown hair that belonged to his girlfriend. He knew her flight had come in since she’d texted him to let him know, the first contact they’d had in some time. Considering it didn’t go beyond that and Aaron letting her know he’d be waiting for her, it was clear that if she did want to talk about what was going on in SCW with Scarlet, she preferred to do it face-to-face. Aaron couldn’t blame her… after all, she would no doubt want a good look at his face to make sure that what he planned to tell her was the genuine truth. Of course, he planned to tell her nothing but the truth, but one can never be too careful when the seeds of doubt are planted, especially if it’s someone else’s handiwork.
After a few minutes of waiting around and taking some deep breaths to maintain the composure he’d just spent the past little while rebuilding inside The Sanctuary, the moment was finally here. He saw Liane carefully wading through the crowd with her luggage in hand, and when the two locked eyes she quickly made her way over to where he stood. Her face seemed pretty neutral which was a bad sign as far as he was concerned, as under any other circumstances she’d have likely been all smiles and eager to tell him about how things went with the comedy club headliner gig. He briefly had a thought about her not being in a good mood because that didn’t go so well for her, but he quickly kicked that thought out of his head when it dared to try and be the more preferable option to what he knew the real issue was. He didn’t know if that was the doing of Nemesis or simply his grip beginning to slip away, but he wasn’t about to roll the dice any more at this point. When they were finally close Liane just walked right past him, silently motioning for him to follow and he complied, knowing that if they were going to talk it was probably best to get away from the crowded airport so nobody could eavesdrop. The walk to the parking garage where Aaron’s rental car sat was agonizingly quiet, but once they finally found it Liane set her bags down and sat on the edge of the hood, tucking her hands into her jeans pockets.
“I’m sorry if I’m not as bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as I usually am Aaron, but I think you know why.”
“I’m aware… we parted ways to focus on our respective opportunities, and now you know I apparently have a stalker obsessed with me.”
“A stalker? Aaron, she stood before you butt naked and invited you to take a shower with her! She even wore next to nothing in the ring and tried to emulate your whole ‘demon’ thing!”
“I know Liane… to anyone simply watching, it looks like a mess, I’m not going to lie. Hell, that interviewer I had time with this past Breakdown certainly thought there was something going on, but I’m setting the record straight. What I said on Breakdown is the truth: I’m in a committed relationship with you and you alone, and nothing Scarlet Grey does is going to change that. I don’t know why she’s suddenly so interested in me, but the feeling is so far away from mutual you’d sooner discover a new galaxy on the edge of the universe than you would see me and her together.”
Aaron saw a trace of hope in Liane’s eyes, but it faded when she looked down, and he had a feeling he knew why. It wasn’t the first time he’d seen her evaluating her own body in a negative fashion, especially since they both had a bad habit of being their own worst critic at times.
“I want to believe you Aaron, but… what do I have that she doesn’t? Let’s face it: she’s tall and obviously has curves in all the right places, and she’s not afraid to show that off. I just look kind of awkward, especially compared to her, and I’m still hesitant at the mere thought of being in my underwear around you, let alone anything less.”
“You make me happy Liane, simple as that.”
Liane’s gaze suddenly jolted up, just in time to catch Aaron closing the distance as he planted a soft kiss on her lips and took her hands in his for comfort, making sure she could see deeply into his eyes to know and trust in every word he spoke going forward.
“Yeah, Scarlet might be attractive, but if I was looking for a one night stand like she obviously is then I would’ve followed Pete’s lead back in that bar where we first met all those months ago. Plus, even if I want to feel flattered by her being attracted to me, I get a vibe from her that I haven’t felt since the last time I dealt with my own mess of a family. It’s weird, but I can almost feel the toxic influence radiating off of her whenever she tries to get anywhere near me. It may be true that I saw her naked, though not by my own choice, but looks aren’t everything. You have been my source of strength for a long time now Liane, from trying to deal with whatever the hell’s going on in my head threatening to hijack my imagination and make me appear insane to powering through whatever obstacles both SCW and life in general try to throw my way. There’s no reason for us to try and rush things… I’m just happy knowing you’re a part of my life, and what you give me is far more than Scarlet or any other woman on this planet could offer, and I mean that sincerely. I don’t care what she was hoping to do with Apocalypse tonight, because I won’t be joining her. I’m going to be backstage cheering Owen on for his match and otherwise enjoying the show with my girlfriend… no, my soulmate.”
Any doubt that was lingering in Liane’s mind almost instantly vanished in that moment. Plain and simple, if there was any girl Aaron wanted by his side for eternity, it was Liane, and he just knew in his heart that he meant it when he called her his soulmate. He severely doubted any girl could make him feel the way she did, and he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt Scarlet was incapable of coming anywhere close in that regard. The two of them couldn’t help but indulge in a good-length kiss to further seal the deal, and Liane’s big smile returned the moment their lips parted. Perhaps the only thing that could somewhat sour the mood at that point in time was the sound of Liane’s phone going off, but Aaron didn’t mind and left her to answer it while he loaded up her bags in the trunk of the car. As he went to climb into the driver’s seat though, he stopped when he saw Liane motioning to him, the smile on her face already gone again. As he moved to stand by her, she tapped a button on her phone and then held it flat against her palm as she extended her arm a bit.
“Alright, I’ve got his attention, and you’re on speaker now.”
“Thank you. Mr. Blackbourne, are you there?”
“I am. And you are…?”
“Dr. Miranda Lopez, a therapist who’s been trying to get in contact with you for weeks now.”
“Really? I sincerely apologize doctor, I’ve just been really busy with my wrestling schedule. When you add in the untelevised house shows, free time kind of becomes a fleeting luxury some days.”
It was a sarcastic comment, but he did his best to mask it. Truth be told, he was very much aware of the repeated voicemails she’d been leaving him and he chose to ignore every single one. He knew she was simply concerned just because of whatever she heard from both of their families, but in his mind he didn’t need a therapy session and neither did Liane. Sure, they had their fair share of problems, but they were both confident they could help each other work through them, and the last thing Aaron wanted to put up with was a therapist confusing his creativity for some form of a mental disorder. It wasn’t the first time it would’ve happened, and he wasn’t about to go on another rant over it either.
“I should apologize to you Mr. Blackbourne. When I tried to contact you about scheduling an appointment I did not take your wrestling schedule into account. Your family failed to mention anything in regards to that career.”
Gee, I wonder why…
“With all due respect doctor, we understand you might have some concerns, but just because our families think we might need help doesn’t mean they’re right. We both just… have some disagreements with our families over things, but we’re perfectly fine where we’re at right now.”
“And with all due respect to you Miss Forte, I would like to be the judge of that for myself. Considering some recent developments in regards to Mr. Blackbourne’s family I’m not sure he’s even aware of and how insistent your family is, I’m afraid it’s imperative that we at least meet to discuss things. If what you say is true, then there’s no harm in one session to show me everything is in the clear before we part ways.”
“I hate to be the bearer of bad news doctor, but between Liane’s new comedy gig she got recently and my wrestling schedule I’m not sure if we’re even going to have time to-”
“Let me stop you right there Mr. Blackbourne. I’ve already taken care of the matter to ensure that we can have this session without any further delay. I have contacted both of your respective employers and insisted some mandatory time off on the grounds of requiring an evaluation before I can clear you both for work, so there is no further reason to delay this.”
Hearing that almost had Aaron seeing crimson again, but he did his best to suppress the irritation he felt at how persistent this therapist was being all just to get an appointment he knew likely wasn’t going to end well. He turned to look at Liane, who wore an identical mask of annoyance on her face in that moment.
“So that explains why I was suddenly pulled from my gig and given some time off after only two weeks…”
Clearly Liane hadn’t simply given up the gig or taken time off to return to her boyfriend, especially since the usual post pay-per-view time off meant Aaron could return home and see her perform for himself. This sudden announcement also meant he probably wasn’t going to be seeing any action on the next Breakdown either, which kept him from being able to try and “right the ship” like he so desperately wanted to on the SCW front. In his mind, this therapist was starting to overstep her bounds, and that was usually a red flag in his book coming from a profession he already had difficulty trusting in.
“With all of that said, when do you two feel might be the best time for you to meet me at one of my offices? I can even tell you where my closest office is from wherever you’re both located now to make it easier to set this up.”
“If you don’t mind me asking Dr. Lopez, do we specifically have to see you? Or do we just need to see any therapist in order to be cleared?”
“Well, I would prefer if you come and see me since I’ve been handling so many sessions within your respective families and social circles already, but if there’s another therapist who can see you sooner I suppose…”
Liane looked to Aaron as Dr. Lopez continued to ponder to herself over the phone, and he just smirked and motioned for her to trust him.
“The reason I bring this up is because I’ve found out that one of the current wrestlers for SCW is a registered therapist, and we’re currently in his hometown of Chicago for a pay-per-view event. I’m pretty sure his office would be here as well, so we could probably set something up with him at the arena tonight and get this taken care of within the next day or two, which saves us some money on an extra flight.”
“…alright, but I would very much like to get in contact with him to discuss what he got from his session with you as soon as possible.”
“I’ll make sure to pass your number along to him once we’re done doctor.”
Dr. Lopez bid the two of them goodbye before the call ended, and Aaron breathed a sigh of relief now that he was done with that. He took a moment to lean against the call and make sure he was collected, and as he did so he took note of the curiosity in Liane’s eyes.
“That therapist on the SCW roster… you mean that Thirteen guy, right? Are you really going to ask him about…?”
“Honestly? Not really. No offense to him, but I just used the resources we had from being here to try and buy us some extra time to get her off our backs. I’m sure Dr. Lopez means well, but if you ask me we’ve got some other things that need to be taken care of first, and one of them is not sitting in front of a therapist for an hour trying to explain to her that being creative is not the same thing as having an unstable mind.”
“I feel bad about lying to her, but I don’t know what my parents might have told her about me and I think I’d rather ride things out with you first to see if I continue staying in control of myself before thinking I need any professional help.”
Maybe it was a bit underhanded, but in Aaron’s mind they were perfectly fine where they were at right now and were perfectly capable of helping one another past whatever issues they knew they had. They didn’t need a therapist that had likely been fed some misinformation trying to blow things out of proportion. As much as he knew he’d lost the next Breakdown, he knew that “doctor’s order” wouldn’t last considering Fatal Fortunes was after that, and as long as Aaron could physically compete SCW was going to book him regardless. Liane’s situation was a little more difficult, but never let it be said that Aaron wasn’t capable of finding creative solutions to any problem. It would require a bit of thought, but he’d come up with something. For now, they were simply going to go enjoy Apocalypse together before figuring everything out one step at a time, because together they could accomplish anything.
At least, that’s what Aaron believed, and his feelings hadn’t steered him wrong yet. He just needed to make sure they weren’t further poisoned by Scarlet’s antics or whatever was going on inside his head to keep it that way.

Would it be a surprise if I told you all that I'm not as excited about Fatal Fortunes as I probably should be?
Don't get me wrong, the very idea behind this is incredible. Recall how just after Rise to Greatness I talked about how the very idea of facing the unknown makes someone like me salivate over the endless possibilities when I had to defend the TV Title against a mystery opponent, and turning two weeks' worth of Breakdowns into this concept from opening act to main event almost sounds like Christmas to me. It's not often you have a truly infinite number of possibilities standing before you when it comes to who you'll face, what kind of match it could even be, whether or not there's a title on the line or a shot at one or maybe even someone's job for all you know. I could paint a mural of every single possibility if I really wanted to, and it still wouldn't be a proper show of respect to SCW for such an ingenious and innovative concept. This is the kind of thing that more wrestling promotions should dedicate a small amount of time to in order to both keep the roster on its toes and give the fans a truly unique experience to keep them hooked, preferably without reserving the idea for when the company happens to roll into Vegas because, no offense guys, but that shtick's been beaten to death already.
I just wish I could enjoy Fatal Fortunes without this 135 pound burden on my back that just doesn't seem to want to accept that sometimes you can't get what you want.
Scarlet, I know you're listening to this since you have this obsession with me for whatever reason, though I doubt what I have to say is actually going to resonate with you. Never let it be said that I didn't at least try to be as nice about this as possible. I'm flattered that you find me attractive, and I'm not going to argue against the fact that you're an attractive woman very clearly comfortable in your own skin. I'm sure you'd even be nice once I got to know you, but as I've been trying to explain for weeks now, I'm already in a relationship with another woman and I'm not the kind of bastard that would cheat on her just because you think you can offer me "something better." I also appreciate the creativity you've been trying to show to get my attention, but the way you've just been going about everything just has way too many red flags attached to it, and I've seen instances of unstable romantic relationships within my own family to know better than to jump into anything with someone who's made it painfully clear she's willing to flirt with virtually anything that walks. Maybe I'm in the minority for preferring a stable, faithful relationship as opposed to simply jumping into bed with someone, but just like with any book or piece of art there's always more beneath the surface, and I hate to say it but you've got me afraid to find out what lies beyond your sex appeal.
I want to enjoy this event for what it represents and considering the last time I competed I ended up losing my TV Title, I would love nothing more than to immerse myself in whatever challenge is put before me and start getting back on the winning track. Unfortunately, as long as Scarlet continues to try and play this game of showing me how badly she claims to want me and leaving this threat up in the air of "always getting what she wants," there will always be this proverbial storm cloud sitting right above my head no matter what Fatal Fortunes has in store for me. The possibility exists that I could face Scarlet in some kind of match that gives her an excuse to turn what should be a competitive battle into trying to "have her way with me" in the middle of the ring, and an even greater possibility exists that if I were to face anybody else regardless of who they are, from the World Champion with the title on the line all the way to someone who could even be debuting for SCW, she'll just saunter on out and become a distraction all just to make sure she has my attention.
If you truly care for me in any capacity Scarlet and want me to consider looking at you as anything other than a creepy stalker, for lack of a better term at this point, then at least honor my wishes to either give me an actual match if we somehow face one another or otherwise leave me be to focus on whatever it is I do end up having to face.
I know, my words are probably falling on deaf ears, but considering all the options at hand maybe she'll at least listen for the next two weeks since she should be focusing on moving in the right direction both for herself and her tag team. After all, we both have just as good a chance as anybody else to be picked as the challenger to a title, and I can think of a few names I wouldn't mind going up against beyond that either because I respect them and want to put on one hell of a match or simply because they've actually given me every reason imaginable to see if I can use my Unchained Creativity to dislocate their jaw and find out how much they still think they can talk shit while it's wired shut.
It's funny how I can scan through the SCW roster trying to guess who might be picked to stand across from me and how I could approach them in the ring, and a good majority of them are the people constantly complaining that nobody shows them any respect only to shrug it off when someone actually does show them some honest-to-God respect and means it. These are the people who will never be satisfied no matter how much they actually get, and I'm willing to bet they're the first to not only complain about how 'unfair' it is that they have to compete under so many blind variables or that they got a rigged draw despite the fact that every single one of us is sitting in the exact same boat just waiting for that call. What ever happened to the idea of simply loving what you do? I mean, I know each and every one of us wants to be a champion and be the very best like no one ever was and that whole song and dance, but if fame and success are the only reasons you're here, then what's the point of doing something you're not passionate about and taking issue with the fact that maybe someone that enjoys doing this for a living is actually getting rewarded for it?
Maybe I'm just nitpicking, but I know I'm not alone in saying I'm getting tired of the constant complaining that you're getting shafted when you aren't doing anything about it. And no, bitching and moaning about it doesn't count. You want people to take you seriously? Here's your chance: go out to that ring for Fatal Fortunes regardless of whether you're facing me or somebody else that isn't exactly who you wanted and prove you deserve all that respect you claim you're not getting. Yeah, maybe there's some luck involved as far as who ends up with those golden opportunities, but if you think people aren't going to be taking note of who wins the other matches that get drawn for consideration down the line, then you need to get your head out of your ass before someone lodges it up there permanently. If I get a title shot out of Fatal Fortunes, that'd be pretty awesome. If I don't, then I'm looking at it as a way to get one step closer to a potential title shot at Under Attack or build my case for that World Title shot they hand out to those who've never challenged for the belt before when the End of the Year Special comes around again here in a few months. Every possibility carries with it the chance to put yourself closer to the front of the line at some point, and my top priority right now is a simple one:
I'm going to walk into Fatal Fortunes eager to see what awaits me, and I'm going to walk away with my arm raised in victory regardless of the scenario to help paint a clearer picture of my future in this company.
