If your last name was Glimmer, then you had every right to be confident in yourself to the point of arrogance right now.
Long before they even became the women they are today, Gia & Gina were quick to learn the value of always having confidence in yourself. It wasn't an act, nor was it simply tied to their desire to flaunt their tits and asses to their hearts' content. It was a simple fact: if you couldn't be confident in yourself, then no one was going to care about you or consider you for the opportunities you sought.
Not to mention the less confidence you had in yourself, the easier you were to control.
With all of their business in Canada done now that the recent Breakdown in Vancouver was in the rear view mirror, the twins couldn't help but reflect on just how far they'd come. Once upon a time, they didn't have that level of confidence coursing through their veins like an addictive drug. Even after the goddess of puberty decided to bless them with the holy grail of body development, they still felt like they were just puppets dancing to the whims of others, their paths already laid out for them. Feeling powerless, believing there was nothing they could say or do to change their course... they hated it. They hated it more than most of the SCW roster seemed to hate James Evans right now. It was the kind of hatred towards a certain feeling that, in many other stories, would've likely led to a dark and gruesome finale that left people wondering why, always oblivious to all the warning signs right in front of their faces.
Gia & Gina Glimmer were nobody's puppets, not anymore. It was the whole reason when they finally had that taste of freedom, the first thing they did was start over. New names, new looks, new beginnings towards becoming the women they truly wanted to be. The self-confidence that came from making that decision alone formed the foundation that brings us to today. Now? The twins are not only undefeated tag team champions in arguably the biggest wrestling company on earth, but they're picking fights with the promotion's so-called elites and standing their ground.
And by the start of next month? They could very well have even more power to their names.
Well... Gina could, technically, but that was just getting into petty semantics at that point.
The threats of Selena Frost had gone in one ear and out the other, as had the barking of the Shinigami Foundation's newest dog desperately trying to salvage anything for that group. Right now, the twins' focus was on the trios tournament, where teams of three were randomly drawn to have to work together long enough to reach the end, with a tempting prize awaiting the winners: a contract that, to the Glimmers' knowledge, affording them the luxury of being able to book one match where they had complete control.
That kind of power was dangerous in anyone's hands, but in the hands of the Glimmer Sisters?
It's doubtful that thought really needs to be finished.
Only Gina had been drawn to participate, likely an intentional effort on SCW's part to keep the twins from simply gaming the system to guarantee they ended up with that contract one way or another, but that didn't matter too much. After all, the fact that one of them had gotten in kicked the door wide open for the both of them to still participate if the need arose, something they knew full well had to be haunting the thoughts of every other team that could cross paths against Gina's team in this thing. Considering her partners were viewed as two of the more dangerous men walking SCW today in different respects, that might as well have been the sign to already hand over those contracts without having to bother with the whole tournament at all.
Gia: You think James and Enigma are actually going to take you up on those tickets you left them?
Gina: I doubt it, sadly. Giving them both a chance to relax and enjoy our show could've made for a nice “team-bonding exercise” but those two-
Gia: Are wound up tighter than the mattress springs that snow bitch probably sleeps on?
Gina: I don't think that's a bad thing though... they can be the destructive force bulldozing our way to the end, and I can be the one pointing them in the right direction and setting them up to take advantage.
Gia had opened her mouth to chime in, but a wink from her sister got the true intention across loud and clear, to her amusement. It was true that throughout Breakdown, Gina had taken the opportunity to sneak into the locker rooms of both Enigma and James Evans and left them front row VIP tickets to the Cirque du Sins show happening in Sacramento the night before this next Breakdown, along with a note that basically offered the two a chance to “get to know her better.” She was doubtful her trios partners would take her up on the offer, but... you never know unless you try, right?
For now, though, the Glimmers' road trip was seeing their trailer head down to Portland to rejoin with the rest of the circus caravan as their tour of shows headed in the direction of the Golden State, and they were certain Lucian would be ready to somehow bounce his fat carcass over the moon to see them return with their brand new accessories. They had wired some of their winnings from Apocalypse to the ringmaster in advance to more than cover his monthly loan repayment to Antonio, although they conveniently forgot to let slip anything about their brand new champions' bonuses.
Lucian could whine about it later, because that was a good chunk of change the sisters had earned for themselves.
A feeling of dread overtook the twins when Antonio crossed their thoughts, though. Before heading up to Canada for the last two SCW shows, they remember the slick and sleazy loan shark getting a little more “direct” with trying to ensnare Gia & Gina in his twisted web. Their efforts to resist and try to get out of the meeting without incident ultimately cracked the more Antonio kept pushing this idea that they needed him, that he would be the one who could ensure they won the titles they now hold as well as no harm befalling them without the protection of the circus caravan. It was proof that Antonio didn't truly know the sisters... nor did he probably care.
Make no mistake: Gia & Gina don't care about being seen as “objects of desire,” but only when they're in control of the situation to shut things down if they go too far. It's how they've effectively turned all of SCW on its head so far. But Antonio trying to manipulate them like he had any right to dictate the path they walk from now on? That was the breaking point, and despite the risks, the Glimmers hadn't been wrong when they told him, to his face, that they would never allow themselves to be in that position ever again.
Despite the begrudging respect Antonio seemed to show them on his way out that night, they knew they had made a very powerful enemy and needed to tread lightly going forward.
Still, the twins were quick to distract themselves with talk of SCW as their trailer pulled into the lot the circus had set up shop in and parked in its reserved space for their return. They didn't mind that they weren't greeted with cheers the moment they stepped out and breathed in the Portland air with their titles resting over their shoulders. After all, they knew it was a show day, so everyone was either getting everything ready or going through a final practice run of their routines for tonight. That alone was the reason why they had changed into their skintight spandex leotards before heading into the tent, since they'd need a bit of practice to shake off the rust after not performing for the past two weeks.
Gia: You sure you're gonna be alright teaming up with Enigma and James?
Gina: I don't think I'll have anything to worry about. We already talked with James to get on the same page, and throwing ourselves into that little chaos fest to close the show definitely helped endear us more to his trust. As for Enigma... I think he'll cooperate knowing we all want the power of that contract.
Gia: As long as they're not going to get all uptight about us doing what we need to do to make that happen. I mean, could you imagine getting stuck with any goody two-shoes like Deanna or Luz or Amelia?
Gina: Gag me with a rusty spoon, please. At least it'll be fun getting to embarrass one member of the Shitigami Foundation again... maybe both if Wil's partner wins his match.
Gia: That Syren chick's pretty hot, though. It'll be fun getting to play with her... shame she's so fake, though.
Gina: You think we should offer Polly a ticket to one of these sinful shows as a consolation prize? She's probably going to throw another tantrum once we kill her latest hopes and dreams, but we can probably calm her down and change her tune in a way her little friends clearly can't.
Gia: I'm down to clown if it chills her ass out and maybe helps give her a new outlook on life.
The twins can't help but laugh as they finally make it to the center ring, not surprised in the slightest to see several other acts locked in on their routines to iron out the kinks, so to speak. What ultimately catches their attention, though, is the tightrope that's usually a staple in the twins' repertoire. At the moment, it's currently in use by... well, the figure looks like a woman at first glance, but as Gia & Gina get closer, they start to realize it's actually a man who would look quite androgynous if it weren't for the full-on slutty drag queen getup he was decked out in. It definitely wasn't anyone they recognized, meaning Lucian might've gotten some fresh meat while they were busy up in Canada.
Fresh meat that was currently walking on his hands across the tightrope while swaying his hips as he juggled balls with his feet, an admittedly more difficult variation of Gia's signature tightrope trick since this guy didn't have a second person to balance on and had to focus on moving himself as well. Seeing him then let go of the tightrope only to catch himself on it by the ankles and seamlessly transition to using his hands to continue juggling while pushing out an obviously fake pair of tits that were actually larger than the twins' had them both impressed and a little furious at the thought of some new guy seemingly able to both replicate and improve their tightrope act flawlessly all on his own... especially as they saw Lucian looking up at him, laughing and clapping like a toddler who just saw the funniest thing ever.
Lucian: Holy shit, you're a natural!
???: Eh, what can I say? I've had a LOT of practice.
Lucian: I am so fucking happy you came around when you did, mate. Not that business ain't always good here, but when the twins are busy with our little side project... well, the fans get a little rowdy without them around to watch, yeah?
Gina: Guess someone didn't get the memo then.
Lucian yelped and practically jumped out of his boots, an admittedly impressive feat for a man with his bulk. He turned and looked nervous for a moment as he locked eyes with his twin stars, but he quickly put his proverbial happy mask back on and started strutting towards them with open arms as if he was actually expecting a hug.
Lucian: Ah, there's my slutty superstars! Not gonna lie mates, you look real bloody good draped in gold, yeah?
Gia: Naturally.
Gina: How about you tell us who the fuck that is and explain why he's doing our schtick.
While Gia preened and posed with her title, Gina pointed up at the drag queen who'd since dropped the balls he was juggling and was watching with a rather unsettling and irritating grin as he kept dangling from the tightrope by his legs.
???: What? No thanks for filling in while you two were busy upgrading to champion-level cunts?
The twins exchanged looks, a bit taken aback by being sassed in return. It wasn't like the sassy exchanges they had with anyone else in this seductive menagerie where it was clearly playful beneath the surface... no, this guy was taking the combative route it seemed.
Lucian: Alright, every cunt in my vicinity, cool your bloody jets!
The drag queen simply shrugged and unwrapped his legs, letting himself fall into the waiting safety net. Gia & Gina were even more surprised. Not that they haven't done it themselves a few times, but they always had what they felt was a good reason for doing so whenever they'd done it. This guy almost felt like he was willing to take chances like he was some sort of adrenaline junkie who got his rocks off on feeling like his life was at risk, even if the net was there to catch him.
Lucian: Ladies, I'd like you to met Angel. He's a special new attraction in our little freakshow of lust. Angel, meet Gia & Gina Glimmer, arguably our show's biggest stars... and the NNNNNNEEEEEEWWWWWW SCW bloody tag team champions of the fucking world!
Lucian's overly enthusiastic attempt to mimic a ring announcer drew the attention of everyone else, all of whom immediately broke out into cheers and applause as they hailed the return of their circus sisters and the gold they'd brought back with them. The twins just grinned and soaked it all in, though Gina couldn't help but glance over to see Angel's reaction to this little stunt by their ringmaster.
She hadn't expected to see him look genuinely hurt by the love she and her sister were getting from everyone around them, but he was quick to bury it beneath an attempt at an amused grin.
Gina: Did you really have to get that over-the-top with it, Lucian?
Lucian: What? I've gotta get my practice in, yeah? How else am I gonna rival SCW's bloody ring announcer when I introduce you for your acts while you're wearing gold?
Angel: I thought it was a good effort, Lucy. And I must say, it is something to finally meet the queen bitches themselves in the flesh.
Angel gave the twins an exaggerated bow, and it almost felt like some of the initial tension with the new guy was finally starting to lift. It definitely helped that Lucian looked like someone had just pissed in his coffee.
Gina: Good to meet you too. We weren't expecting to roll back in today and see someone brand new practically doing our act almost as well as we do... especially when we told Lucian we'd finally be back before showtime tonight.
Gia: Gotta say, though, Lucy's definitely a name we should call him more often.
Lucian: Absolutely fucking not!
Gina: Aw, don't get your panties in a twist Lucy.
Angel: I think the name suits you pretty well.
Lucian just screamed before he stormed off. He didn't actually go very far, just far enough away that he could angrily mumble to himself in peace without anybody else hearing, but the twins and Angel got a laugh out of it all the same.
Gia: Holy fuck, I needed that laugh.
Angel: Definitely a good cooldown after strutting my stuff on the tightrope. I am not used to focusing that much on my balance for so long.
Gina: It takes a lot more work than people realize, but you actually looked pretty good up there.
Angel: Almost as good as you girls, right? Then I guess I still have some work to do if I'm going to outshine you.
Angel just winked and pushed up his obviously fake tits before he spun on his feel and sauntered away, leaving the twins baffled. On one hand, the way he said it sounded playful enough that it framed his response as a friendly rivalry of sorts. On the other, there was enough of an edge to his tone that almost felt like he truly had every intention of “outshining” them, and that did not sit well with them at all.
Gia: Who the hell does this newbie think he is?
Lucian: For tonight, he's your replacement.
The twins whipped around at Lucian's blunt declaration, the ringmaster grinning like he was satisfied with this turn of events... probably because it was a bit of payback for the whole “Lucy” thing even if Angel had been the one to start it.
Gina: You want to repeat that? Because it sounded like you said he's our replacement.
Lucian: For tonight? Yeah. After that, I need to figure out how to work him into the lineup so you bitches can still have your time to shine.
Gia: Uh, hello? Do you not see us dressed up to practice?
Lucian: What are you getting all bloody mad for? I figured you'd be a little more grateful that I'm giving you a break to rest those long legs of yours after you spent fuck knows how long traveling. Besides, I had to have a backup plan in case you two got... I don't know, stuck in traffic or some shit and couldn't make it back in time after all. Besides, it's someone to fill in for you whenever you're busy making SCW your bitches like I hope you're going to do with this trios tournament thing.
Gina: Don't worry your fat ass about that, Lucian. My team's going all the way, we'll make sure of it. Doesn't mean I can't get a bad vibe about the guy you're trying to replace us with.
Lucian: Not replace! I want to make that perfectly bloody clear!
Gia: He seems to think he's going to replace us full time. Where the hell did you even find this guy, anyway?
At that, Lucian's grin vanished entirely as he looked at the ground in shame, and the Glimmers already had a bad idea of where this was going.
Lucian: You want the honest truth? He's one of the sluts Antonio owns.
And there it was, the missing piece of the puzzle. While it was something only felt by the three of them, it still felt like the air in the center ring had plummeted several degrees, and the blood running cold in the sisters' veins was matched only by the guilt on Lucian's face.
Lucian: Before you say anything, I didn't strike any new deals with Antonio while you cunts were in Canada winning gold, yeah? He gave me an “offer” when he came around the day of your last Breakdown to collect his pay, but he gave me no choice on whether or not I wanted to take it. He's loaning Angel to Cirque du Sins to fill in for you whenever necessary, and as long as he's treated well because apparently he's Antonio's “favorite,” then he's actually willing to forgive some of the debt I owe him.
The twins just exchanged looks again, smelling a rat from a mile away.
Gina: And you actually believe that?
Gia: Yeah! For all you know, Antonio could just be trying to make you replace us altogether.
Lucian: You think I haven't figured that out myself? You stupid bloody bitches... don't worry though, I don't plan on throwing away my biggest moneymakers that easily, no matter what he wants. Gotta say though... he did mention the two of you actually stood up to him in that little meeting. You ladies got bigger balls than I do... and I honestly don't know if that's exactly a good thing when it comes to Antonio. So please, take this night off I'm giving you, celebrate your title win by... I don't know, oiling up and having sex with your title belts or something. Anything to keep you out of Antonio's sight for tonight since he's coming around to watch his “toy” perform.
The disgust at referring to Angel in that way was painfully clear and Gia & Gina knew it took a lot for a proud perverted freak like Lucian Lurid to be genuinely disgusted with something, especially to this degree. Still, the rare pleading tone in his voice was also impossible to miss, and it left the Glimmers speechless as they just quietly nodded and turned to go try and enjoy their day off back in their trailer. It gave them time to scheme for the trios tournament, or maybe just relax... maybe do what Lucian suggested if they really wanted to.
None of it changed the fact that it was obvious Antonio was making moves to try and force the twins out of their safety net and into a position where they had no choice but to let him sink his hooks into them, and they weren't just going to stand idly by and let this Angel guy be used to drag them into the same situation he was clearly trapped in.
