Brief Summary "Destruction"-

The story opens with John Cena and Randy Orton vs Wade Barrett and The Miz in a tag team match on Raw. After Orton and Cena pick up the victory, a gun shot is heard and 20 men with guns rush into the arena and force the four superstars back into the ring. The men say that they are they for a reason and end up leaving the arena with Randy. It is discovered by Cena, Barrett, and The Miz that the person in charge of it is someone from Randy's military past who is out for revenge for being sent to prison by Randy after he killed another soldier for not following a direct order. Randy attempts to escape, but ends up getting shot for his efforts. The mans name is Thomas Moore and, after Cena finds out who he is, Moore flees the state with the help of his friend, Jeff. Cena, Barrett, and The Miz track Moore down right before he leaves for the airport and spot Randy. The men are leaving though, to get out of the state. Cena, Barrett, and The Miz intercept them as they are about to board the plane, but Miz gets shot by Moore. Distracted, Barrett tends to the Miz while Cena goes after Orton but can't get to him in time and is knocked out of the plane before it takes off. Cena feels guilty while Orton is outraged they shot Miz and knocked Cena off the plane. Luckily, Barrett had taken note of the airplane number that Randy was on. After some words are exchanged between Orton and one of the men, Randy kills him, desperate for some control. Moore sees the body and tells Randy that the man he killed is Jeff's son and Randy immediately regrets it. Upon finding out, Jeff wants to kill Randy but Moore convinces him that killing him would be getting out easy and Jeff holds back.

Cena and Barrett hop on a plane and head to Seattle, where Randy's plane is headed. When they reach the airport in Seattle, they see two men they recognize from the airport they took off from and force them to tell where Randy is. They do, and John and Wade start heading there but are intercepted by a phone call from Randy, who jumped out of the cab he was in in order to escape. Randy and John are not far from each other but the line goes dead when Randy gets hit by Jeff. Hurt from jumping out of the car, Jeff sees Randy's shoulder is dislocated and aggressively resets it, causing Randy to yell out loud enough for John and Wade to hear him. Wade and John force Jeff to let Randy go, who complies without a choice. The three have a small reunion and Randy is taken to the hospital. Randy tells John that he killed Jeff's son but John doesn't blame him. John and Wade leave for the night but come back later when the cops show up at the hospital. Jeff, Moore, and a few other men are in the hospital room that Randy is in and, after putting up a fight, Randy is forced to choose between going with the men willfully or staying behind and facing the consequences. Randy stays (chosen by the readers! :D!) and Moore is shot and killed by police entering the room. Jeff is arrested and Wade, Randy, and Cena reunite. 2 months later, Randy is leaving the next morning to start his WWE career up again and Jeff and his cellmate escape from prison. Jeff is after Randy for killing his son and to avenge Moore, who died when he was shot in the hospital.

So, I thought I'd write up a brief summary in case new readers don't want to go back and read "Destruction" fully (though I suggest you do to get a better idea of what's going on!). Here is the summary for this story, "Retribution:

Summary: After escaping from those who wanted revenge on him, Randy Orton's life seems to be getting back to normal. Unbeknowest to him, one of the men he sent to prison escapes and vows for the revenge he never got. When old enemies resurface, what will happen? Will the man finally get his revenge?

Chapter 1- Unsafe

"It's been 2 and a half months since we've seen him last. Tonight on RAW, The "Viper" is back and doing well. Randy, how does it feel to be back in the WWE after everything you've been through?" Josh Matthews asked, eyeing Randy Orton in their backstage interview.

Randy took a moment. Tonight was his first night back. Vince, John, Wade, and almost everyone else tried to convince him to take more time, but he needed to get his life back to normal. He never thought he'd see a WWE ring again, hear the fans chant his name, here his music blast through arenas full of thousands of people. He let it soak in, as the crowd roared before he spoke. It gave him goosebumps. He wasn't cleared to wrestle at all yet, but Vince permitted him to use some air time for promos and sitting at announce tables and things of that nature. It's not exactly what Randy wanted, but he knew he was lucky to be back here at all.

He'd been doing physical therapy to get his leg to operate normally again, but it'd be at least another 6 months until it was completely healed. Randy wasn't sure he could wait that long to get back in the ring. He was so anxious, craving that spotlight, but nervous too... because it was in a WWE ring that all of this started. Due to his fame and the WWE, people would always know exactly where he was at all times and that idea scared him, but he knew he'd have to get back to his normal place eventually. Sitting on his couch at home wouldn't be helping anyone.

The past 2 months had been rough. He was always followed by reporters wanting to know the full story. Because those men came in that night in the middle of a live show and fans were in the arena, there was no hiding what happened. He gave them a little information, that he was okay. He didn't tell them anything about why it happened, no one needed to know except those who already did.

"It feels good to be back, Josh. This is what I love to do." Randy simply said.

"A lot of people were worried about you, got any words for your fans?" Josh said.

Randy heard the cheers from backstage and smiled to himself. He wouldn't let it show on the outside, but his heart skipped a beat at the sound of the cheers and he felt like a little kid on his birthday who had just gotten the best gift ever. He knew the cheers were not only for Randy Orton, "The Viper", but they were for Randy... who had just been through a hell of a lot. They weren't just cheers because they liked him or because he was a baby face, they were cheers of respect. Cheers of "welcome home" and "glad your safe". It was music to his ears.

"I just want to thank everyone who didn't give up on me and I'm gonna pay them back by recovering as fast as I can and getting back in that ring." Randy said, looking at the camera. He heard that boom of cheers again. The noise that never got old.

Josh turned his attention back to the camera with a smile.

"Alright folks, you heard it from the Viper himself. Back to you guys." Josh said, throwing the show back over to Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler.

-WWE-

Jeff clicked off the TV. He wasn't sure if he should be happy or not. Happy because he was out of prison and Randy didn't know. Not because Randy seemed to be recovering, emotionally and physically, rather quickly.

"He's lookin good." Clark Welks, Jeff's cellmate from prison, commented. Clark and Jeff had been holding up in an apartment that Clark had people connected too.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Jeff said, agitated at Clark's comment.

"Nothin... just, when you told me everything you did to him, I thought he'd be a little more... screwed up. Looks like you didn't do as big a number on him as you thought you did." Clark answered. Jeff immediately stood up.

"First of all, I had nothing to do with what happened to him. That was all Moore's revenge. So, Moore didn't do as big a number on him, not me. He would've been dead when we were on that plane if it were up to me." Jeff said, on the defensive.

"Probably should've took him out while you had the chance." Clark commented, sitting down on the couch.

Jeff felt frustrated. Randy Orton was making him look like an ass and they weren't even near each other.

"I'm not finished with him, yet." Jeff said.

Clark turned his attention so that he was fully focusing on Jeff.

"You're going after him again?"

"He killed Moore, he killed my son, and he didn't pay for any of it! I'm going to do what Moore couldn't. I'm going to finish the job."

Clark smirked in disbelief.

"You just got out of prison and the first thing you want to do is kill a man? You're asking for a death sentence!" Clark tried to reason.

"You're not talking me out of it. He took everything from me. My life, my friend, and my kid. No way he walks away without a scratch."

-WWE-

Josh put a hand on Randy's shoulder.

"All WWE aside, I'm really glad you're alright, man. We were all really really worried about you." Josh said.

Randy just smiled in return.

"Thanks. Just want to get back to normal." Randy said.

He'd been getting comments like that one all day. He hadn't seen any of the superstars for two months and tonight was his first night back, so you can imagine how many hugs and handshakes he'd gotten today. He appreciated it, of course, but in some ways it just always reminded him of everything he'd been through. The only person he had yet to see is the chairman himself, Vince McMahon. Vince called him into his office and Randy started walking over there right after the interview with Josh.

He knocked on Vince's door.

"Come in." Vince said, not bothering to look up.

"Hey, Vince." Randy said at the door.

Vince immediately smiled and got up. He embraced Randy, this being the first time he's seen him since the night he was taken. Randy hugged him back.

"I'm really glad you're alright, kid."

Vince pulled away.

"Me too."

"How are you holdin up?" Vince asked, concern etched on his face. There were a few wrestlers that Vince has worked closely with for years and he looked at them like sons. He did his best to make sure they were the best they could be. He cared for them, tried to help them, watched them grow. Randy was one of those superstars.

"I'm okay. I'm trying to move on but being back here... guess I'm a bit on edge." Randy said, absentmindedly.

"You thought about maybe seeing someone... we have a psychologist who works for the company. Maybe it'll help?" Vince suggested, placing a comforting hand on Randy's shoulder.

Randy just shook his head.

"It's just gonna take time... thanks though."

Randy smiled and Vince gave him a nod and one last hug before Randy left the office. By the time RAW was over, Randy was heading out of the arena and waiting for John in the parking lot.

The parking lot was empty and dark by the time RAW ended. Randy felt nervous in there by himself, but he had to get used to being in positions like this. Jeff was in jail. He was okay. He kept repeating this to himself over and over again.

A loud crash interrupts him. He snaps in the direction of the noise and let out a nervous breath.

"John? That you?" Randy shouted in no particular direction.

Nothing. Nothing but the sound of Orton's rapid heartbeat.

CRASH!

Randy jumped again. Headlights. Randy immediately went into defense mode.

The black escalade pulled up and John Cena stepped out. He got out smiling, happy to see Randy, but immediately went into a defense mode himself when he saw Randy's terrified expression.

"What's wrong?"

Randy just looked around.

"I heard these crashes..." Randy said, still looking for the source of the noise.

John let out a sigh of relief.

"That was me... I hit a garbage can on my way up here. The lanes were narrower than I thought. I'm sorry, I had no idea you were up here."

John looked down, feeling awful about freaking Randy out like that. It was his first day back wrestling and he had already scared him half to death.

Randy let out a nervous laugh and a sigh of relief.

"Oh.. that's okay. I'm still a little jumpy... it's not your fault." Randy said, getting into John's car. John followed suit, still feeling guilty, and drove off to the hotel.

In a black, parked van, Jeff sat in the parking garage as he watched John and Randy pull away. Jeff smirked. Looks like Randy isn't as well off as he's letting on. Clark sat next to him.

"So what's next?"
