"And there's the swanton bomb off a 20 foot ladder by Jeff Hardy!"
"That boy is indestructable...!"
"Six time tag-team champion..."
"Three time intercontinental champion...!"
"Jeff Hardy will not die...!"
Two shadowy figures watched young man flying across the screen, powerfully taking down his opponent with graceful wildness.
"That's him..." A voice like gravel under the soles of shoes. "Bring him to me."

Jeff Hardy groaned and carefully stretched his back. Shelton Benjamin had rolled out of the way of his swanton bomb and the ring canvas only forgave you so much. He still won the match with relative ease, but no doubt the next morning his back would be completely black and blue. His match with Shelton had been one of the last so the locker room was practically empty except for himself, and Benjamin who was taking a shower and the security guards outside.
Jeff unscrewed the top of his water bottle and was about to take a drink when he heard Benjamin calling from the shower area. "Anyone still out there?"
"Yeah?" Jeff answered warily.
"Hey man could you bring me my new bottle of Axe bodywash. It's in my bag."
"Do I sound like Yo' Mama?" Jeff called back indignantly then took a sip of his water.
"Do you really want me to come out there?" Shelton laughed. "They only left me the short towels."
Jeff nearly choked on his water. After a couple of coughs he found his voice. "No, no. You stay right there." Hardy set down his water bottle and began rummaging around in Shelton Benjamin's duffel bag. "You want blue lettering or red lettering?"
After a moment of thought Shelton came to a decision. "Red."
"Of course." Jeff muttered under his breath as he walked toward the showers. When he reached the corner, he averted his eyes and held out the axe bottle. "Come an' get it."
"Can't you bring it to me?"
"No way man,." Jeff chuckled. "Unless you suddenly turned into a Diva Superstar, you're on your own." Jeff set the bottle down at the edge of the showering area and head back to the locker room.
He picked up his water bottle again this time taking two large gulps before setting it down and continued packing his things into his duffel bag. He closed his eyes and winced a little as he hefted the bag onto his shoulder and his bruised back moaned in protest of the extra weight.
When he opened his eyes the room tilted slightly. He shook his head to shake off the dizziness.
"Are you all right Mr. Hardy?"
Jeff jumped at the unexpected voice and turned to see one of the security guards. Automatically, Jeff took a few dizzied steps back and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Yeah, I think I just jostled my brains around a bit to much."
"Are you ready to head back to the hotel sir?"
"Yeah, I think some sleep'll do me some good." Jeff followed the security guard out into the hall way.
Jeff staggered along after the security guard, meandering through the hallway toward the garage where the drivers would drive him back to the hotel. He blinked his eyes several times trying to clear his vision, but grew more and more dizzy with each step.
"Hey man can can we stop for a second? I'm not feeling so good." Jeff put a hand over his eyes hoping the dizziness would pass.
"It's just through here sir." The security guard opened a door and motioned for Jeff to go through.
Jeff slowly staggered through the door and ended up outside. He shivered a little in the night and his already blurry vision was having trouble adjusting to the dark. Three figures including the security guard stood next to a larger black Nissan Pathfinder, and opened the door for Jeff to get in. The young Hardy hesitated for split second, he was getting a weird feeling in his gut, the kind he got when something wasn't quite right. However, he disregarded the feeling attributing it to the dizziness and injury from the match, then got into the SUV. He settled into a corner next the window and using his duffel bag as a makeshift pillow he shut his tired eyes and drifted into the dark river of sleep.

Matt Hardy yawned as he made the last two steps down the stairs into the breakfast area of the hotel. He spotted Brian Kendrick sitting at one of the tables in front of the TV eating cereal and watching the news.
"Hey, Kendrick." Mardy greeted the young tag-team champion. "Where's London?"
Kendrick finished his last few bites of cereal then answered. "Sleeping. He always sleeps in real late when we don't have a match."
Matt chuckled and poured himself a cup of coffee before settling down on the couch himself. "What are you watching?"
"The news." Kendrick shrugged. "I want to see how the Mariners did last night."
Matt Hardy nodded and sipped his coffee. He was about to leave when news report came on that caught his interest.
" We were informed just the few minutes ago that the young WWE superstar and fan-favorite Jeff Hardy has been missing for almost 14 hours. He was last seen being escorted by a security guard to the garage area, however there are fears that he might have been abducted. He have tried contacting the McMahons, but they are refusing all questioning at this time. We will be keeping you updated as more information comes in. In the meantime this is Kelly Wright for Fox News..."
Kendrick stopped chewing his cereal in mid crunch, and the cup of coffee dropped from Matt Hardy's hand.
Jeff...

i Well my first posted fanfiction featuring characters from the WWE. I've been a fan of Jeff Hardy for quite awhile now and I hope I do him justice in this fic. Don't ask me where I got the idea for this fic, it just sort of popped into my head one day.
Please review and let me know what you think of the story, at least let me know if you are interested in the idea! /i
