Minerva meeting with Konrad's twin brother, Markus Lord Raab. Miami, Florida. Thursday 28th January (Off-Camera)

Because things, at least in Konrad's mind, are going so well with Minerva, he was ready for one of his family members to meet up with her. They were waiting outside the entrance of the park, known as Margaret Pace Park. Konrad and Minerva embrace a hug, kissing each other's cheeks as they let go of each other.

Because Konrad spotted his brother Markus approaching the park. Markus comes towards the pair of them, and Markus immediately notices the emotions were different with Konrad as he's with Minerva. Minerva saw Markus and Konrad at the same time, and Minerva says this.

Minerva: "You're Markus?"

Markus Raab: "Yes. Nice to meet you after hearing such good things about you."

Minerva: "Apart from the clothes, I wouldn't be able to tell you both apart. So shall we take a walk in the park?"

Markus Raab: "Yes."

Konrad holds Minerva's hand with Markus behind them to walk into the park. So far, it's going well, even if Markus's answers were basic, but that's what made the two of them different their confidence with women. As they walk in the park, Minerva looks at Konrad, and they kiss each other as Minerva says something to Markus.

Minerva: "How did you become a professional wrestler?"

Markus Raab: "All started when I was twenty-one years old when I heard fans screaming when I was at a point of ending my life. So I stopped what I was doing and went to check out what was going on. I sneaked into the arena, and the first thing I saw was the hardcore match. You may have seen me wear the black and red stripy mask, right?"

Minerva: "My sexy schnitzel, aka Konrad, has told me all about that, along with what I've seen on Carnage Wrestling."

Markus Raab: "Well, it was the first wrestler I was inspired with. When the show finished, I went down there and given tips because I was so down on myself. When I smashed a trash can over his head, I felt much better about myself. Felt like I could do anything in the ring, especially after the hell I went through with a woman sexually assaulted me. I'm sorry I make things difficult to talk to you."

Konrad nodded, patting Markus on his back, proud he opened up a lot more with Minerva, even if she was leading the way in the conversation, but it's still a start with Minerva seeing fears with Markus, speaking to a lady.

Minerva: "No, not at all. I can understand why you're angry all the time. Konrad has helped me become a better wrestler. Three years ago, in a company called World Wrestling Headquarters, Konrad approached me, seeing something in me, and mentored me until I left. I was mad at Konrad for a while; he didn't contact me. So yes, Konrad and I knew each other long before Supreme Championship Wrestling."

Markus Raab: "I meant to ask if you both knew each other before, but wow, really been that long you knew each other? Konrad never told me any of this."

Konrad Raab: "Because I wanted Minerva to tell you, so you'll believe everything she said. It turns out also that she needed a father role in her life. While a nice guy, from what Minnie told me, her father neglected her and felt he wasn't there. I was so we talked, and I told her about myself, and I became a father role model for her."

Minerva: "Which Konrad treated me a lot better. When we were apart, it wasn't that Konrad didn't want to speak to me, although I thought at the time it was, it was Fizz, stopping us from Konrad training me and speaking to me. She got jealous of how close he and I were. Konrad fancied me from the day we first met. Now we're together."

Konrad smiles, seeing how much he loves Markus and Minerva's interaction, two critical people in Konrad's life. Two people who meant the world to him, as well as his kids, of course. They took a seat in the park with Minerva, wanting to know more about Markus. As Konrad places his arm around Minerva, Markus responds with this.

Markus Raab: "Wow, I had no idea Fizz was like that."

Konrad Raab: "Yes, and because I was married to her, I couldn't do anything. I wish I divorced her earlier because Minnie has made me a lot more confident and setting me straight to be more of a man than I was. Heck, I loved Minnie more than Fizz as the years went by. I didn't know it until that match. Since then, I been better focused and know what I want to achieve in wrestling and life as a whole."

Minerva: "You know you had to change, Konrad, and yes, you are happier and feeling free, being a lot more open. I think you bottled up too many things because of Fizz."

Markus Raab: "I noticed that also, along with him being a lot happier being with you as well. He loves you a lot, more than he did with Fizz. Talks all the time about you."

Konrad Raab: "I do."

Minerva: "I knew it, and yes, I love him too. So, do you have someone you love in your life? Is it complicated like ours was?"

It's the first time in his life Markus got asked the question. He's already uncomfortable talking to women, but he remembered Konrad being there to help and assist as Konrad mentions this.

Konrad Raab: "I promise you; she won't be against what you'll say, right?"

Minerva: "No, of course, not."

Konrad Raab: "So go for it."

Markus nodded, needing that reassurance from both Konrad and Minerva, and he dug down deep and spoke to Minerva about his love life.

Markus Raab: "Back in two thousand and sixteen, my manager Henry Losak went out searching for a friend because he wanted me to have someone else to talk to. He brought in this guy who I wanted nothing to do with at first, a big guy with a bald head and someone who can't speak, Samuel McPherson."

Minerva: "Why can't he speak?"

Konrad Raab: "Because he has autism, something I'm still learning about myself."

Markus Raab: "I didn't trust him at first because I was always afraid of social interactions. However, as I opened up on my life, my hatred for Konrad at the time, Samuel was the first person ever that didn't judge me for anything. He listened to me, and it was from that moment on, I knew someone that cared more than just this horrible monster I am."

Konrad Raab: "Yes, so if we still hated each other, I wouldn't have had you two meet up. When our dad passed away, our mother said that we had to be closer as a family. It's been great ever since then, despite the stuff Markus did. He made a mistake because he still has a hatred for women in general."

Minnie gasped, having no clue at all they didn't like each other with their history. It's all going good, although Konrad said it made Minnie nervous on the last comment and asked about it.

Minerva: "You don't hate me; do you, Markus?"

Markus Raab: "No, I have no reason to. Besides, Konrad would kick my head off if I was nasty or do something bad to you."

Konrad Raab: "That's what I meant last week when I warned him what happens if something goes wrong."

Markus Raab: "Anyway, getting back to Samuel, yes, so Samuel saw me as a different man. I proposed to him a few years later because I developed something I never felt in my life, love. We got married on Christmas Day because we didn't care for the family showing up and had two sons together, Callum and Maverick."

Minerva: "Who would've thought to meet two brothers who look exactly alike, starting different paths in wrestling, diverse sexualities and very different personalities. Now you both are teaming together? I think both of you are amazing. I like how vicious and violent you are in the ring, Markus. I'm a lot like that as well, well along with showing my looks off. I must get Konrad angrier at times, although he's getting there."

There was a slight pause with Markus nodding, even if he was getting the feeling of shaking up with his fear, but he breathes in and out, knowing nothing terrible would happen and reminded himself of Konrad's warning if he did. Konrad jumps in.

Konrad Raab: "Which is a lot to do with why we're together. I never found any woman more attractive than I did with Minnie. She's helped me to another level of helping me grow both as a person and a wrestler too. I learnt more about myself with Minerva than I did with other women and as a wrestler. That's what a lot of wrestlers don't understand. It's more than just sex with us. I also needed a lady to talk to after shit I was going through with Fizz about my feelings and understand the problems I had. Minnie was perfect for that since she knows more about me than anyone in SCW."

Markus Raab: "Yeah, even I can see and understand that, and I never met Minerva until today. But yes, we're a team in EHWF known as Brothers of Balance that's on hold at the moment because Konrad's been Junior Heavyweight champion for almost nine months coming up."

Minerva: "Oh, I know, Konrad showed me the belt. He looks damn sexy when he wore that around me and being a sexy man in general. Also, how kind and caring he is to me, treating me like a proper lady. Now we need to get SCW gold around this waist of his."

Konrad Raab: "If you keep encouraging me, I will."

Minerva: "You know you will because you're excellent in the ring."

Markus nodded as Konrad was in a way glad Minerva was saying all of this in front of Markus, who wasn't talkative but needed to hear the type of encouragement. Minerva gets back to the question about Markus's husband after Konrad and Minerva kiss.

Minerva: "Does your husband wrestle at all?"

Markus Raab: "He does. He's far more vital than I am. He might be silent, but he's an outstanding wrestler. Safe one as well, despite how vicious he is in the ring. He loves weapons and violence. We won tag gold together."

Minerva: "How does he communicate with you?"

Markus Raab: "He always brings notepad and pen to write his thoughts and opinions, and we respond with our words. He's good at listening and would never judge you for anything you say."

Minerva: "Sounds like it's difficult at times."

Markus nods as Konrad, who had been enjoying Minerva speak to him and asking questions, although Konrad wish Markus would ask Minnie questions as well. It was a start, and Konrad jumps in to talk more about Samuel.

Konrad Raab: "It is, but at the same time, he's a great guy. He's a lot more social than Markus is, believe it or not. Markus is starting to get some friends now who also understand him."

Markus Raab: "I'm learning how to be human because I never experienced emotions before. With Konrad, my friends and Samuel are helping me open up; I'm also beginning to understand life. I still want to be a destructive monster in the ring."

Minerva saw how uncomfortable Markus was on talking to Minerva as it was the first time he properly spoke to a woman he didn't know well. Konrad being there was helping Markus with confidence. Lots of children were running around in the park.

Minerva: "I'm glad to hear you're turning your life around, Markus. I'm in shock that women are capable of doing sexual assaults on guys. Not many men talk about it. I'm sorry to hear that. You aren't a bad guy, think because your German, people misunderstood you."

Markus Raab: "That's what Henry, Samuel and Konrad have been saying. I have to turn my life around because I wasn't happy; I couldn't even step out the door. I feel better talking to you, Minerva. I can't tell you about my interests because I haven't been interested in anything but combat sports."

Konrad Raab: "Well, you went to see FC Koln play against a team in Europe with me once. But your friends, I'm sure, are going to help you find what you like."

Minerva: "Yeah, just got to believe in yourself, and in no time, just like I told Konrad to consider doing with getting a Twitter account side of things, people will get to know you once you let doors open to know the real you. If you found it difficult to come here and meet with me, even speaking to me says a lot that you have overcome fears of social interaction, especially with your past."

Konrad nodded at Minerva, agreeing on everything she said to him, despite not being a social person herself. For the first time since he met Minerva, Markus had the confidence to ask Minerva a question.

Markus Raab: "How did you get into wrestling?"

Minerva: "My father John was a wrestler, so I was inspired by what he did in the ring, and then I grew up loving wrestling as a whole. So yes, while my dad trained me a bit, it was primarily down to Konrad, helping and encouraging me to start wrestling in the ring."

Markus Raab: "Yeah, I heard that with many family members with their kids being wrestlers. That's great. Anyway, I'm going to leave you two love birds alone, got stuff to talk over with Henry and go work out in the gym for our tag match on Saturday. It's nice to meet you, Minerva."

Minerva: "It's nice to meet you too, Markus. I hope we can meet up again soon."

Markus Raab: "Likewise, and I see you on Saturday, Konrad."

Konrad and Markus do high five and a hug before Markus walked off as he did want to leave Minerva and Konrad alone for the time being, and she got up with Konrad, and she said this.

Minerva: "I can see why the cafe wasn't a good place to meet up. He doesn't seem comfortable."

Konrad Raab: "Socialising never is with him, especially speaking with you. It took a lot for him to ask you a question in the end."

Minerva: "You have no such problems with that or talking to me. Very different. Come on, let's go back and have some dinner, watch a movie while we snuggle up together for the evening."

Konrad Raab: "Indeed, and then have all the time together, having sex all morning before you go. That's why I wanted to do the meetup today."

Minerva: "Damn you with your sneaky tactics without telling me. I love that you've been so mysterious since you been with me. Te iubesc."

Konrad Raab: "Si eu te iubesc."

Konrad and Minerva kissed on the lips before they got up from the bench, and they walked out of the park, heading back to Everglades campsite as they got back, having dinner, which was chicken, potatoes and vegetables. However, Konrad's chicken was a vegan product due to his vegetarian diet he's on. 

After dinner and washing up the plates, they put a movie on, and Minerva places her head on Konrad's torso with Konrad wrapping his arms around her, kissing a few times before they head off to sleep before they get busy in the morning.

------------------------------

Confusion and mind all over the place. Dallas, Texas. Saturday 13th March. (Off-Camera)

After six days of training for the match, including researching his opponents, Konrad witnessed fresh air for the first time since last Saturday that didn't involve going into a supermarket or the gym. He had isolated away from everyone, putting every single bit of focus on the most significant match Konrad's had in a long time. He knew the one person who needed to see Konrad was Dylan Howell himself.

Dylan was getting concerned for Konrad; more he put himself in a situation that caused a massive scene on Twitter or the damage Minerva caused to the Helms and Cruze family. Konrad places his head down on the table as Dylan comes to sit down, and he says this.

Dylan Howell: "I don't know what to say to you. I know your well in the firing line for dating Minerva, but you understand people being suspicious on the phone situation, can't you?"

Konrad Raab: "I don't want to talk about it."

Dylan Howell: "Sorry, but I do because she could have permanently injured Peyton Rice for good. She's close to my family, and I think people are well within their right to tell you off for the stuff you brought for Minerva."

Konrad Raab: "I brought Minerva a phone not only because she wanted it, but because her phone broke, not for her to phone Kandis to break Peyton's leg. Everyone thinks I knew the attack going down, but I didn't."

Dylan Howell: "I understand that Minerva has changed and encouraged you to be more yourself and you have since you been away from Fizz. I also know your relationship with Minnie is more than sex, and you needed a lady to talk to about your feelings and other things with your life. However, you need to face the facts, man; Minerva did the attack and had every intention of doing so to harm Peyton maliciously."

Konrad Raab: "I thought Kandis was going to cause me hell. I argued with Kandis on Twitter a few weeks ago about it when I was mentioned on the phone, thinking Minerva would cheat on me. I'm not making that mistake again, jumping to conclusions without knowing the story."

Dylan Howell: "There's no justification for whatever her story is to break Peyton's leg."

Konrad still covered his head, knowing Dylan was right, but at the same time, he was as well because only he had known Minerva long enough to do the stuff she has in wrestling. Konrad's still lost in his mind, mainly because he loved the hell out of Minerva, and he didn't want to lose her; he also didn't want to lose his friends, either.

Konrad Raab: "Minerva's mad because her dad neglected her. I've been in that situation, and I wish I could get my hands on my dad for treating me like shit without his love and care for me. I was angry for the whole of two thousand and nine for it."

Dylan Howell: "But she involved Peyton Rice in that attack and possibly permanently injure her leg. Come on, Konrad, wake up to the real situation, dude."

Konrad Raab: "That's what confused me the most. What has Peyton got to do with her being the reason Minerva's dad neglected her? Why go that far to break someone's leg, especially if you want to face them in the ring? Those are the answers I need from her, and I won't take sides until I hear her side of the story."

That was Konrad's problem, he's stuck like a piggy in the middle, and he couldn't look at Dylan's eyes, but it was causing him stress and looking directly at the table, with sweals design on it. Konrad, it seemed like he was in shock as to what happened.

Dylan Howell: "Well, at least you know Minerva breaking her leg is wrong. I understand you're shocked and confused about what's happened, more so of you being so in love with Minerva. You can understand why David slapped you, even if you were buying a phone for Minerva along with buying her a coat, umbrella and paying her fine out of your kindness. I want to believe you, but I don't know if I do."

Konrad Raab: "How wonderful on being another guy not to believe me. Why am I getting the blame just for buying Minerva a god damn phone? It's ridiculous."

Dylan Howell: "I never said I didn't, more I don't know if I do. Much like you not knowing the reasons for the attack, even though you know damn well, there's no excuse for this. I know you're shocked and feel you had no part in the plan, but I'm saying that they have the right to be suspicious of you enabling her."

Konrad Raab: "I'm telling you the truth. I didn't enable Minerva to make that attack on Peyton. That footage was the first time I saw the incident took place, and I shook my head the entire time I watched it on Friday."

Konrad shook his head, wanted to move on from the topic altogether because he wanted to focus on the one thing he had worked for, a title opportunity at a PPV event.

Dylan Howell: "I heard rumours; however, you been working so hard for the match, am I right?"

Konrad Raab: "It's the motivation I always have for title contention and title matches. I felt like I've beaten my body up a lot to get ready. It's who I am. At home, I worked out in the gym and even watched many videos of my opponents' talk about matches and their wrestling matches. That's all I been doing from Sunday until today."

Dylan Howell: "No contacting Minerva at all?"

Konrad Raab: "Nope. I will say one thing; all this hate spewed at me; it's giving me motivation, even more, to win, knowing everyone will view me as a threat in this match, and that's a good thing."

Dylan Howell: "I'm impressed, although it can cost you if you did that much workout. At the same time, I wish you the best of luck because you deserve an opportunity at the SCW title, and the fact you confirmed you worked hard is a testament to your dedication to wrestling."

Konrad Raab: "I had to be as people are already ruling me out, and I wanted to take this opportunity with both of my hands. I will be able to say at least I finally had an opportunity for the first time in four years to wrestle for a title shot on a PPV event."

Dylan Howell: "I got to head off as I'll leave you be. But you do have to decide what side you're on? There's no middle ground anymore, and you know it."

Konrad nodded as he still wasn't able to pick his head up, even after Dylan left. Looking at the pattern of the table reflects Konrad's confusion and shock. He was shaking off his mixed feelings of being happy when he's with Minerva, giving him love, care, someone to talk to about his feelings and sex, but mixed with the friends he had built for years in the business. 

Only he can decide what side he's on as Konrad did in a way, wait for Dylan to go before making sudden movements. He placed his head up and drank the whole of his water bottle before he phones somebody else about business elsewhere he had to take care of Monday. After that phone call, Konrad stood up and went back to the hotel. Konrad went up to the room of seeing one person he needed to see, Minerva.

-----------------------------------

Four-year wait to have an opportunity of a lifetime youtube.com shoot. (On-Camera)

"I know I've been way too quiet on Peyton being attacked with Minerva breaking her leg. I don't know what to say, to be honest with you all. I'm so confused and shocked. I don't precisely know the answers to the situation at hand, which I will find out sooner than later. What I can say, however, is I had nothing to do with the attack. 

I didn't know anything about it, and I didn't see the footage of what happened until Friday. Yes, I can clarify I brought Minnie an expensive phone because the phone she had wasn't working anymore, not enabling her to attack into someone's home and break Peyton's leg.

Moving onto actually the main reason why I haven't been on Twitter, preparing for this matchup because it's been a long damn time since I wrestled for a title opportunity at the PPV. I already told you all in my last video my opinions on that, even if I was pissed off, and that's another thing none of you understands. You all think the relationship between Minnie and me is only for sex? You all are wrong. There have been days we haven't done it at all. 

It's because I love her, and she has encouraged me to speak up, making me effectively not put myself down as much anymore, for me to speak what's really on my mind as I have bottled it up for the last four years now. Nobody until now has done that. I'm a lot happier. I needed a woman to speak to my feelings and everything going on with my relationship with my ex-wife. Nobody has been closer to me in wrestling than Minnie has.

This match means the god damn world to know I get the chance to face some wrestlers I always wanted to face, like Blake Mason, Ace Marshall, Giovanni Aries. I nearly fought Datura once in Union Battleground had I beaten Maverick and some other guy in the Cobra tournament some years ago. I disagree with the idea of bringing a title in SCW just because you haven't won a belt, but as far as I recall, you need to be here a lot more to wrestle for titles. I can see; however, you're starting to do that now, and that's great because you're a great wrestler.

Of course, names like Aaron Blackbourne, Jordan Majors and Ricky James are wrestlers I fought before and I pretty much state what I've said about them before, but my point still stands on Ricky needing to stop trashing Sasha all the time. It's getting tiresome, and if you don't like being in SCW with Sasha in charge, I suggest you leave this company and go somewhere else. Your spouting off about Sasha being shady and still work for SCW makes you even shadier.

I don't think I need to say much more about Aaron and Jordan, although I'm aware of the situation of Aaron wanting to kick my head off. I rest my case on the statement I made earlier. I always admire you wrestling to your best, and you're one of the biggest threats in this match. You're talent far outweighs what people view you as. I know you will win the SCW title someday.

Likewise, Jordan Majors, I was so proud that you got a shot for the SCW title because you bust your butt day in and out; we all saw you nearly defeating Bree Lancester for the title at End Of Year PPV. You stepped up your game big time since the last encounter we had many years ago, and I'm proud of the progress you made.

I know your one of the guys concerned with the comment I made earlier and my alliance with Minerva, Blake Mason. Finally, after all this time of being in SCW, I get the chance to face you. I always wanted to face you, even called you out for a match when you crippled Simon Lyman to a wheelchair because I was offended when I know someone close to me who has a learning disability to stoop down like that. At the same time, you have moved on, and I'm honoured to be in the ring with you tomorrow night.

Ace Marshall is also someone I wanted to face because of the funny and crazy stuff he gets up to. I can admire someone being full of entertainment and providing laughs for all of us to enjoy. We all need that in ourselves sometimes. I wish you were around more often because people know how talented you are as a wrestler. You still have what it takes to continue wrestling for SCW, and your passion shows it.

Well, we may not have ever had a match, and that's crazy to think, considering he did affect my mind during the war with him and Damian Angel, isn't that right, Giovanni Aries? You like to cause trouble and pretending that Lizard King is affecting your mind and telling you to beat up on people you know have done nothing to you. I have bottled up way too long what you did to me to face you in the ring. I wish you'd wrestled more matches because of the fact you been getting main event matches on Breakdown and being featured on PPV's with title shots, and I haven't in four years while busting my ass to get a PPV title match or PPV title contention match, makes me sick.

I won't get into that either because the thing you all don't understand is I've waited way too long to get myself to shine at this PPV event. Granted, I've never taken part in a scaffold match, and needless to say, we know about how I do in these matches. 

I don't care about that because I been waiting for four years to put out the best match I can for all of the fans for a PPV title opportunity, hoping Sasha will take note of what I'd want more in my career. I already said my thanks to David Helms on Twitter before that day. I will give everything I have, even if I walk away busted open, with broken bones, scars and bruises; I will give everything into this get my shot for the SCW title.

Because I deserve it more than all of you, I'm sorry to say that, but the anger spewed to me on Twitter; thank you for the encouragement because it only makes me more hungry and, in this case, angry to get me fired up and beat the hell out of all of you. I need to because I will not be waiting four more years again to wrestle for a PPV title match.

I will come over more prepared than I ever been in title matches before and will overcome all of your, being the underdog in this match to go out there and do everything necessary to go out and win this match because I believe I can and will be leading SCW into the future. This time, I will be ready for either Cannon, Cid or Asher to go for their title on the next PPV and capture the title from them. Because I've been training six whole days without any contact with anyone to be fully prepared for this match, thinking about nothing, but this match either. Prepare to be Iceinated by The Iced Rainbow, who will be pinning one of you to become the new SCW title contender because I need to be."
