This is a new one from me.

Cody Rhodes and a new OC. I own my OC Phoebe.

I hope you enjoy this introduction.

Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase emerged triumphant from their latest match. Both men made their way back to the locker room and showered, before changing into their regular clothes. Cody smirked as he recalled tonight's win over DX and looked up from the bench at his tag partner.

"What do you think about celebrating another win?" he asked him.

"Mm sounds good." Ted replied as he fastened his shirt.

"Cool, there's a great bar on…" the younger man was cut off.

"I'll let Phoebe know. She could do with a night out." Ted nodded and pulled out his cell phone.

Cody nodded, but switched his expression to a frown as Ted looked at his phone.

Phoebe was Ted's best friend. They grew up together and now Ted had this weird protective thing over her. She worked as the ring announcer and backstage interviewer at WWE. She and Ted did most things together and it really annoyed Cody. Maybe hate was a strong word, but he certainly didn't like Phoebe Weston.

"She's going to meet us in catering." Ted told Cody.

"Ok, let's go over there." The dark haired young man replied.

The two tag partners walked the corridors until they entered the catering area. Cody looked up to see that Ted had already made a beeline for his friend. She turned and smiled as he picked her up in a hug. Cody rolled his eyes as he witnessed the display. The DiBiase put the young woman down and motioned for Cody to come over and join them.

"Hey Cody." She smiled.

"Phoebe." He nodded in reply.

"You look great." Ted smiled and looked her up and down.

Phoebe was tall at 5ft9in and she had long brown hair and brown eyes. Outside of wrestling she wore casual jeans and t-shirts. Her WWE outfits were more revealing, showing off her legs or her toned stomach.

"Let's go then." Cody nodded and walked towards the door with Ted and Phoebe following.

The next week the two Legacy members were sitting in their locker room. They weren't competing as a tag team tonight. Cody would be ringside as Ted took on Triple H in a singles match. The backstage organiser knocked on the door and informed them that it was almost time for the match.

The Legacy theme tune began to play out as Ted walked out onto the stage followed closely by Cody.
"From West Palm Beach, Florida. Weighing in at two hundred thirty five pounds. Ted DiBiase!" Phoebe announced her friend's arrival.

Ted and Cody stepped through the ropes and awaited the arrival of Ted's opponent.
"From Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing in at two hundred fifty five pounds. Triple H!" Phoebe smiled and went to leave the ring.
Ted held the ropes for her to do so. Cody smiled a little, but inside he was frowning.

The bell rang and the match began. It was a pure fight from the start. Ted was more than able to hold his own alongside the King of Kings and managed to put on a submission manoeuvre to stall the older man's momentum. Cody occasionally glanced over to Phoebe, who was attempting not to smile. Tonight she was wearing a pink and purple two tone dress that was slashed to the navel.

The crowd suddenly gasped, as Triple H threw Ted over his shoulder. The son of the Million Dollar Man landed on the canvas with a sickening thud. Both Phoebe and Cody looked on with concern, as the young man failed to get up. Triple H covered him for the win and left the ring. The referee motioned for the medical team to come out to the lifeless Ted.

Cody climbed into the ring and watched as they strapped Ted onto a stretcher and carried him back up the ramp to the ambulance waiting backstage. The young man ran a hand through his hair as he watched the ambulance pull away with sirens blaring. He turned to see Phoebe standing in the corridor with tears in her eyes.

Cody walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Do you think he'll be alright?" she whispered.
"I hope so." Cody replied.

The next day Cody went to see his partner, who had regained consciousness and was well enough for visitors.
"You worried us." Cody told his partner as he walked into the room.

"Yeah, I took a bad landing." Ted nodded.
"How bad?" the younger man asked.
"I'll be out for three months." the young DiBiase replied.

Cody shook his head and looked up at Ted.
"I need a favour." Ted told him.
"You know I'd do anything for you." Cody nodded.

"Take care of Phoebe." Ted told him.

"I'm sure that Phoebe can take care of herself." Cody smiled.

"No, I can't travel with you guys. You have to take care of her." the older man nodded seriously.

Cody was stuck with a dilemma. He wanted to help out his friend, but this meant he would have to pretend to like her.
The dark haired man looked up at Ted, who was awaiting an answer.

"Of course, I'll take care of her." Cody nodded as Ted sighed and smiled.

What do you think Cody will do?
