A/N: Alright guys , I hate to steer everyone into another direction while I am working on finishing Shattered World , but I decided to go ahead and start the next chapter of the Extended Family stories . I think it ' s a good idea to do this one before finishing Southern Comfort as this is the lead up to that story and will include a lot of the people that will be associated with Southern Comfort and I hope you like it .
Disclaimer: I do not any of the wrestler that may appear in this story , but I do own all of my OCs and the story itself .
Hostile Takeover
Chapter 1 : League of Shadows
What ' s Been Happening Since the Defeat of KHAOS
It has been two years since the fall of KHAOS to the Extended Family and their friends , it had been two years since Grace Harris , the American Kid started working for Ring of Honor , ROH , and while for the most part everything had worked out for the best , she found herself in the middle of a fued with her Aunt Maria and her new found boyfriend Mike Bennett which was beginning to make her miserable . She had hoped the few matches against Maria would wake her up to the real family she left behind meaning Frankie Kazarian , Edward and Leia , but Maria made a bunch of excuses as to way she couldn ' t help the family and bullshit reasons as to why she abandoned her family to deal with KHAOS . Maria would also allow Bennett , Matt Tavern , and Adam Cole to continuously run in to attack her not just in ROH ring , but also at other events she had planned leading Grace to call in friends of her own , after sending word to Steve , Courtney Rush a.k.a Rosemary who she had met during the fight against KHAOS was the first to come to the American Kid ' s aid , the second was Allie sent to aid Grace through her contacts with Gail Kim , and the last to aid her was a surprise appearance by the Tennessee Outlaw , Makayla Storm . The feud had been very stressful and the girls were ready for a much needed break , which was taking them back to Orlando to see the family for the annual get together with the Extended Family .
On the Road
" Oh , I can ' t wait to get home and see the family , " Grace Harris said with a sigh .
" You okay ? " Makayla Storm asked .
" Just need a break away from the issues at ROH , it ' s getting stressful " Grace said .
" What you need is energy ? " Allie said in the backseat .
" You ' re not going to try and push that energy potion on to Grace , are you Allie ? " Makayla asked .
" Coffee is good , energy potion is better , " Grace said .
" Not you , too , " Makayla said .
" Courtney made me try it , " Grace said .
" Don ' t blame it on us , " Courtney Rush said also in the backseat .
" We should have the other you scare the shit out of some of the Extended Family , " Makayla said .
" That ' s not very nice , " Allie said .
" Be funny as hell though , " Grace said .
" Who should it be ? " Rush asked .
" The Naturals , " Grace and Makayla said at the same time .
" Fine , one Demon Assassin coming right up , " Courtney smiled deviously .
Not long after agree to scaring the Naturals , Courtney Rush had completely transformed into the Demon Assassin , Rosemary looking as creepy as ever making the other three chuckle to themselves happy that Rosemary was on their side .
" My Demon is back , " Allie hugged Rosemary getting a pat on the head from the Demon .
" And the Bunny is consuming energy potion , " Rosemary said .
" Let ' s scare Andy and Chase , " Makayla said .
Grace gave her best evil laugh making Rosemary evil laugh with her .
Extended Family - Training Facility
Once the girls got to the training facility , Makayla and Allie went on in while Grace helped Rosemary get to the upper part of the training facility so she could scare the Naturals .
" I need a laugh anyways , " Grace said walking in up the stairs with Rosemary seeing Makayla and Allie talking to the Naturals .
" We thought Grace and Rush were with you two ? " Andy asked .
" They were on their way , " Makayla said .
" The Hivelings seem to have a thing for the Naturals , " Rosemary said from directly behind the Naturals making them jump and look behind them before freaking out at seeing Rosemary .
" Oh that was good , " Grace laughed as she came down the stairs .
" Grace , " Andy said .
" Jeez , I thought the Naturals weren ' t suppose to be scared of anything , " Andy Douglas Jr . chuckled at his dad and godfather getting scared by Rosemary as Jacob Chris Stevens , JC laughed at the two being afraid .
" Watch it kids , " Chase said holding his chest from being scared as the rest of the family laugh .
" Didn ' t Shane Douglas teach you two to be aware of your surroundings ? " Grace asked .
" I did , but they don ' t listen like most of you kids , " The Franchise said .
" And people stealing Papa Jeff ' s lines isn ' t very cool , " Rosie said as Rush went and removed the face paint .
" Jarrett can get over it , " The Franchise said as Grace hugged her sister .
" You hug Rosie before your old man ? " Chris Harris asked Grace .
" You were doing the grill and you are not old , " Grace hugged her dad before hugging Jessie , Gail , and Storm .
" Sweet kid , " James Storm said .
" And thank you for sending your sweet kid to aid us , Uncle James , " Grace said .
" No problem , " Storm said as Makayla smiled .
" She ' s not sweet , " Mason Storm said getting glared at by his sister .
" Don ' t make me knock you silly , " Makayla said .
" Love you , sis , " Mason before kissing Makayla on the cheek .
" So , how is the feud going between you girls and the Kingdom ? " Gail asked making the three groan as Rush came back from removing the Rosemary face paint .
" What ' s wrong with you girls ? " Chase asked .
" The Kingdom is so mean , " Allie said .
" Come on now , I was hoping not to hear that name today seeing as it ' s my day off . " Grace said .
" They ' re that bad ? " Katie and Talia asked .
" We had to pull Tavern and Cole off of Grace and Courtney during our last confrontation ? " Makayla said .
" If I have to show up at ROH and put turn the Kingdom into my scratching post , I will , " Chris said .
" Down , big daddy Wildcat , we can handle them , " Grace said putting a hand on her father ' s shoulder .
" Uncle Chris , is over protective , " Makayla said .
" Yeah , " Jessie said .
" Let ' s not talk about the Kingdom when Frankie shows up , " AJ Styles advised when he walked into the building .
" Is he still have issues with Leia ? " Grace asked as she hugged AJ .
" Yeah , she is taking Maria being gone pretty hard and taking it out on Kazarian , " Andy said .
" How is Edward ? " Makayla asked .
" He ' s been staying at the house with the twins while Frankie works everything out with Leia , " Chris said .
" Where are they at ? " Grace asked .
" With Steve and EY , " James said .
" Crazzy Steve ? " Grace asked .
" Yeah , your brothers have taken to Steve pretty well . " Jessie said .
" So , that ' s where our crazy clown took off to , " Rush said .
" Eric Young is pretty crazy himself , " Dakota Williams said .
" Just like you my Crazy Canadian brother , " Andy Jr. said .
" Vampire Warrior don ' t get me started . " Dakota said .
" Boys settle down , " Angela said .
" Yes ma ' am , beautiful , " Andy Jr. kissing his girlfriend of two years .
" Find somewhere else to do that please , " JC said in pain .
" Hush Jake , " Andy Jr . said .
" See somethings never change around here , " Grace said .
" You don ' t say , " Chase said .
" Where is Debra and Traci ? " Grace asked the Naturals .
" Dealing with some stuff at the Impact Zone , " Jessie said .
" What stuff ? " Makayla asked .
" Aftermaths of the issues we ' ve had in the last few years since Aces & Eights , " James said .
" So , Trifecta , Biohazard , and KHAOS ? " Grace asked .
" Yeah , those pests , " Rosie said .
" Good riddance , " Andy Jr. and Dakota both said .
" I agree , " Katie added .
" So , nothing has come up since I ' ve been on the road ? " Grace asked .
" Thankfully no , " Andy said .
" But , let ' s not talk about it as jinxing the peace is always possible , " Jessie said .
" Yeah , in the meantime we have you kids to drive us crazy , " Shane Douglas said .
" Our best quality , " Chase said .
" Chase is the king of the mayhem , " Grace said pulling a beer out of the cooler next to the bleachers in the training facility .
" Amen , " Chris said
" Girl after my own heart , " James chuckled when he saw the beer in Grace ' s hand .
" I ' m legal limit , " Grace said .
" Yeah , but whose driving ? " Jessie asked .
Grace looked at Jessie then the beer and her keys putting them in Allie ' s hand .
" You drive , " Grace whispered to Allie .
" Okay , " Allie said as Grace drank from the beer .
" Good girl , " Jessie said .
Soon everyone else from the Extended Family , the future Inheritors , and a few other close friends finally showed up to the annual get together hoping to enjoy themselves away from the issues in wrestling at the moment .
" So , she even distance herself from the family when everyone is together , " Grace whispered to Rosie looking Leia .
" Yeah , we try to talk to her and include her into what we are doing , but she never wants to talk to us . " Rosie said .
" She doesn ' t hang out with Talia anymore either , " Katie whispered to Grace .
" So , what has my favorite Demon Assassin been doing lately ? " Crazzy Steve asked making the three look at him talking to Rush .
" We are still helping the girls take down some pest in ROH . " Rush said .
" We really need to come up with a proper name instead of calling us ' the girls ' " Makayla said .
" We ' ll work on it while we have time to think without trouble around . " Grace agreed .
" Should we help her ? " Allie asked paying more attention to Leia that the girls .
" It may not be a simple task or one that will be healed overnight , " Grace said .
" Grace speaks the truth , " Katie said .
" Yes , she is in a dark place right now , " Rush thinking back to the feud two years ago which brought out her own past connections to Grace and Katie as the place that those evil people known as John Sanders and Felix had caused the girls . It was for this reason the Demon Assassin had been brought out in her , Rosemary was the stronger alter ego Rush could use to deal with the issues that she kept inside and Rosemary had lead her to so much since the alter personality had formed , meeting Crazzy Steve , becoming friends with the girls , and finally being able to deal with Felix helped the pain to go away , but the memories were still there some where in her dark areas of her mind .
" Courtney ? " Grace asked .
" We ' re okay , " Rush said .
" Both of you ? " Steve asked .
" Yes , both of us , " Rush said .
After the Annual Extended Family Reunion
Two years after the feud with KHAOS , Grace had gotten a small place of her own close to the current area AMW compound , it was so close that she could walk to both her dad ' s place and Storm ' s place with relative ease . The house was useful with her constantly being in and out at random times to go deal with matches at ROH or some other promotion , or deal with promos , photoshoots , interviews , and fan signings . It was this place that the girls were crashing at during their small time off from ROH and having to deal with the Kingdom .
" I love my career , being able to see all of these different places , but sometimes it ' s good to come home to the family . " Grace said .
" I agree , but what are we going to do about Leia ? " Makayla asked .
" I don ' t know yet , " Grace sighed .
" Why is she acting like that ? " Allie asked .
" Maria use to be married to Frankie Kazarian , Edward and Leia are their children , she ran out one all three of them because she didn ' t understand Kazarian ' s need to protect the Extended Family and what TNA stood for . Then when she got to ROH , she found Mike Bennett and the rest of the Kingdom , I thought I could wake up my dear aunt with the first matches I had with her , but I was wrong and now look at us still being harrassed by the Kingdom . " Grace said .
" This was all during the war with KHAOS ? " Courtney asked .
" She left during the war with KHAOS , but I think everything else fueled her idea of leaving the family . " Grace said .
" The Aces & Eights Crisis , the issue with the Johnsons , and the fights against Trifecta and Biohazard also did a number to us and I can ' t imagine that anyone in or connected to the Extended Family could forget about what happened . " Makayla said .
" You guys deal with a lot of evil and not so nice factions coming after you . " Allie said .
" Along with dealing with any issues within the family itself , like this with my cousin . " Grace said .
" So , aside from the fact , have we come up with a name yet ? " Rush asked .
" You shot down Freak Show and Misfits , " Allie said .
" Yeah , because we are hardly freaks and we fit in with everyone else just fine , it ' s just the Kingdom that we don ' t fit in with . " Rush told the girls .
" What about League of Shadows ? " Grace asked getting a look from all four of them .
" League of Shadows does have a nice ring to it , " Makayla said .
" I like it , it sounds fun , " Allie said smiling really big like she normally does .
" It sounds just like us , " Rush liking the name .
" League of Shadows we are and we will eliminate the Kingdom . " Grace said as the four laughed together .
A/N 2 : Alright guys , this is the first chapter to Hostile Takeover done , but I wanted to clarify somethings before heading on through this story of the Extended Family timeline . First of all , Courtney Rush/Rosemary is the same Rosemary from KHAOS , so , this is a different person or whatever and how Rush became Rosemary is completely different in this story from how she became Rosemary in pro-wrestling giving her more of a connection to Grace and Katie will make her both connected to the Extended Family and more importantly the Inheritor , Rosemary ' s connection to Crazzy Steve gives her another connection to the Inheritors as well and being the focal point at her Grace and Rosemary met and became friends . The second thing I want to clear up , calling the girls the League of Shadows , some may recognize this as a name used by the Dark Knight movies , as well as Arrowverse ' s connection to the League of Assassins , so first let ' s clear up the name , yes , I got the name from DC comics , movies , and TV shows , but this is different from the actual League of Shadows in DC comics and I will be making it my own in the coming chapters creating back stories and reasons for the League of Shadows to exist and giving them a spot to stand in wrestling by letting them go after the Kingdom. Now that my rambling is done , I hope you will enjoy the story , please read and review , thx.
