Clyde Sutter may appear to be a stoic, cold hearted, emotionless asshole on the outside; but to say that he doesn’t have feelings or that he doesn’t care about anyone is most definitely wrong. The Harbinger of Fate most definitely cares; he cares a great deal for his beloved Melinda Braddock. He would quite literally do anything she asked of him. He is almost as loyal to Melinda’s adopted sister Fiona Logan, but not quite. Only Melinda and Melinda alone holds the soul of The Assassin in the palm of her hand. Sutter is fiercely loyal to the sisters, to the duo known as The Vision. Therefore Sutter feels bad that they failed in their quest to become SCW World Tag Team Champions at Shattered Reality. Despite what many may think, The Harbinger of Fate is disappointed in himself; he is disappointed that he did not fulfill his promise to end Shaun Cruze’s return before it even got under way. Sutter may be a disciple of Fate, he may believe strongly in Fate, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about the spotlight, winning gold, and earning money.
Still, Fate has told him to be patient and wait, that his time will come; and that time might very well be coming sooner than expected. Fatal Fortunes is next on the list and that event is the one event on the SCW calendar that Sutter likes more than anything else. Fatal Fortunes relies heavily on Fate. No one truly controls their destiny, Fate controls their destiny, and on these two nights no one can deny otherwise. The Assassin, being an ally of Fate and disciple of Fate, believes that this event will favor him over the others. Fate may very well use Fatal Fortunes to reward not only Clyde Sutter but The Vision as well for their fierce loyalty to the cause and for their belief.
He certainly hopes so, because things have not been well in The Vision camp lately. Sutter can feel the tension and it isn’t just from the losses at Shattered Reality. Fiona Logan is being stalked by her abusive former foster father. Sutter and beloved Melinda hated leaving Fiona behind in Miami with Todd Osbourne on the loose but they know she is safe in the care of Glory Braddock and Kurt Logan. Besides, Clyde has issues of his own to deal with; namely his sister, Lilith Sutter, issues that require his presence in England.
The house sat quietly along a narrow Birmingham street, one of many modest homes pressed shoulder to shoulder in a neat row, its brick exterior darkened slightly by years of rain and city air. There was nothing about it that demanded attention, and that was part of its charm. A small front window glowed softly from within, curtains drawn just enough to let the light spill onto the pavement outside. The evening was cool, carrying the distant sounds of traffic and the occasional echo of footsteps, reminders that the city was still awake even as this particular home retreated inward. Inside, the warmth was immediate. The living room was compact but comfortable, shaped by practicality rather than excess. The furniture did not match in any deliberate way, but everything felt chosen with care and kept with intention. A well worn sofa faced a simple television stand, and a low coffee table bore the quiet evidence of daily life. A few framed photographs lined the walls, moments captured from different chapters of their lives, blending past and present into a single shared space. The lighting was gentle and unassuming, coming from a single lamp that cast soft shadows across the room.
Melinda Braddock moved easily through the space, as though the house responded to her presence. She was dressed in a feminine outfit that felt almost poetic in its contrast to the humble setting. A soft, flowing skirt fell to just below her knees, the fabric light and elegant, swaying subtly with each step she took. The color was refined without being loud, a shade that complemented her almost platinum blonde hair and fair complexion. Her top was fitted and graceful, tucked neatly into the waistband of the skirt, its fabric smooth and delicate. The neckline was modest but flattering, emphasizing her posture and the natural elegance she carried even in quiet moments. Her shoes were simple yet refined, low heeled and practical enough for the home, but still undeniably feminine. They made only the faintest sound against the floor as she moved. A delicate necklace rested at her collarbone, catching the lamplight in brief flashes, and small earrings framed her face without drawing attention away from it. Her hair was styled softly, not rigid or overdone, falling neatly around her shoulders in a way that felt natural rather than staged. The overall effect was one of effortless grace, as though she had dressed not to impress an audience but simply to be herself.
Clyde Sutter, by contrast, looked as though he had shed every layer of performance the moment he crossed the threshold. He was dressed down to the bare essentials, his clothing chosen entirely for comfort. A loose, worn t shirt clung lightly to his frame, the fabric softened by countless washes. The sleeves hung casually against his arms, and the collar sat slightly stretched, a testament to familiarity rather than neglect. He wore a pair of relaxed sweatpants, dark and unassuming, sitting low on his hips, and his feet were bare against the floor. His long black hair was pulled back loosely, not with any particular care, strands escaping to frame his face. There was no trace of the imposing presence he carried in arenas, no calculated posture or intensity. Here, his shoulders were relaxed, his movements unguarded. He looked at ease in a way that only came from being completely at home, both in the space and with the person beside him.
The house itself reflected their shared life in subtle ways. A folded blanket rested over the arm of the sofa, suggesting evenings spent together in quiet comfort. A mug sat forgotten on the coffee table, its contents long gone cold. The air carried a faint mix of familiar scents, clean laundry, brewed tea, and something warm that lingered from earlier cooking. Outside, the city pressed close, but inside, the walls held firm, creating a small pocket of calm.
“You know, while we are here in England, we could train at my grandfather’s wrestling school.” Melinda says cheerfully.
“You do recall that the the trainers are not all that fond of me, do you not?”
“Of course but you are about to be family.” Melinda winks playfully. “My future husband. You get the family perks. Besides, we DO have Fatal Fortunes coming up, and my grandfather always knew the craziest, wildest, most inventive of ways to prepare for any and every scenario. The staff at the Braddock Wrestling School has kept up that tradition.”
“As well they should.” Clyde remarks. “Fatal Fortunes will bring about chaos to the roster, chaos because they are all taught to anticipate, to prepare, to believe that they are in control. When Fate takes away their control they descend into anarchy. But you and I, we already KNOW that Fate is in control. We are loyal to Fate and that chaos will have no affect on us.”
“You sound confident.”
“I am confident because I trust in Fate.” Sutter states boldly. “Regardless of what may have happened in the past, at Shattered Reality, our opportunity to take the next big step in SCW is right here and right now with Fatal Fortunes. This should be OUR event, my love. No one should be able to stop us at Fatal Fortunes.”
“You make it sound too easy.” Melinda runs her hand across his strong, chiseled chest. “We will not know what Fate has in store for us, either.”
“Correct, but I still trust in Fate, and that is what Fatal Fortunes is built upon…Fate. Fatal Fortunes was created in order to remind the arrogant stars of SCW that FATE is in control of their destinies.”
“I just hope Fate will reward us.” Melinda states. “I think you and I both deserve some gold. You know what I mean?”
“You deserve all of the gold in the world, my love.” Clyde says sweetly. “I hope you do get the title match you want. However, if you do not, and if I am lucky enough to get a title match, I promise you that I will win it FOR YOU and I will gift it TO YOU.” Sutter’s eyes are intense. “I mean it.”
“Thanks, babe, but you shouldn’t just ignore yourself.” Melinda smirks. “I wouldn’t mind marrying a SCW Champion.”
“I know you wouldn’t.” Clyde smiles warmly. “And I am certain that Fate will fall in OUR direction these two nights of Fatal Fortunes.”
“I hope so, but my point stands, trying to prepare for anything and everything we can possibly prepare for wouldn’t hurt.” Melinda remarks. “And my grandfather’s school isn’t that far away.”
“Fair enough.” Clyde nods his head. “Just remember, my beloved, we are not here because of Fatal Fortunes. We are not even here to tour my old stomping grounds or your old home. We are here for other, graver, more serious business.”
“Lilith.”
The name comes across Melinda’s lips as if it were a plague. Lately she has been a plague. She is Clyde’s sister and harassed him for months trying to get him to join her criminal empire. Clyde and Melinda thought she was gone but she still stalked him, secretly and covertly. Now Lilith has made a full blown return and wants to speak with Clyde. He is suspicious, of course, despite her offer of peace and goodwill. She claims that she is not in the criminal business anymore, that her operations are completely legitimate. Melinda does not think seeing Lilith is a good idea but Clyde fears that she will not go away unless he listens to what she has to say.
“I know you feel strongly about her…”
“She called me a whore.” Melinda snaps back. “Not to mention she is a criminal.”
“Is…was…we are not sure. She claims she is legitimate.” Sutter sighs as he digs through his pockets. “Although that did remind me…” he produces a small box. He passes it over to Melinda. She opens it up and it contains a huge diamond.
“Oh my God…” Melinda’s voice trails off “...Clyde, how did you…”
“I didn’t.” He shakes his head. “That was a gift from Lilith. She insisted that you take it. She wanted you to consider it a peace offering for the nasty things she has said about you.”
“So she’s trying to buy me off?” Melinda frowns.
“I honestly have no idea, my love.”
“For God’s sake, Clyde, she is YOUR sister!” Melinda exclaims. “How could you NOT know your own sister?”
“That’s the only reason I am even considering her offer…” his voice trails off. Melinda’s eyes grow wide with shock.
“You cannot be seriously considering working with her?”
“No, not working with her.” He shakes his head. “But LISTENING to what she has to say? Yes, I am considering it.”
“Why?!” Melinda asks. “She’s dangerous!”
“She is family.” Sutter says stoically. “She is my only connection to a past that I know very little about.”
The Assassin’s rough exterior begins to show cracks, signs of real emotion which are rare from this intimidating figure. Even Melinda is surprised. She watches him as he slowly walks past her and sits down on the sofa. Braddock approaches slowly and joins him on the sofa, wrapping an arm around his shoulder.
“It’s ok…you can talk to me…” she says gently with compassion in her voice.
“All I know for a fact about my father is that his name was Ethan. Ethan Sutter. Everything else I have heard is all hearsay. It is all talk and rumor. I heard that he was a common criminal. I heard he was a drug user. I heard he was a cult leader. Then again I also heard he was just part of some strange Christian sect.”
“You know your mother.” Melinda remarks. “Autumn Van Stanton.”
“Yes, my mother.” Clyde chuckles. “That is the only other thing I know about my father. Whether he was acting on a cultish religious belief or if he was just an unfaithful bastard, he had no faith towards any one female. Lilith and I have different mothers due to our father sleeping around.” He turns towards Melinda, runs a strong hand through her long blonde hair. “I do not want to be like my father…but I do want to know ABOUT him. I want to know where I came from. Lilith may have the answers. She is the only way I can find any answers. Besides, she is my sister and I cannot change that.”
“You cannot pick your family, that is for sure.” Melinda sighs. “You’re going to see her whether I like it or not.”
“I would walk to hell and back for you, my love, but on this one occasion I must do something you will not like. I must visit my sister. I must hear what she has to say in hopes of learning about my past.”
“Very well…” Melinda nods her head “...you have my blessing.”
“Thank you.”
“Just be careful.”
Melinda Braddock hugs Clyde Sutter tightly. She is afraid for him, afraid of what he is getting himself into. Clyde himself is anxious, though he would never show it. He knows how dangerous his sister is; he knows what she is capable of. Still, he wants to know where he came from. He wants to know about his past, specifically about a father he never got to know. Lilith is the only possible connection he has, not to mention the fact that Lilith may never go away or leave them alone unless he at least listens to what she has to say. It may be dangerous but it is a risk The Assassin is willing to take.
