Disclaimer: I only own Alex.

A/N: New story! Yay! I'm going to do this one a little differently than my other stories, you'll see what I mean after you read the chapter. Enough babbling, go and read. Enjoy & review!

It seemed like all time slowed down as the referee's hand started the three count. Everything seemed surreal. Taunts and cheers that were coming from the fans seemed to fade away. His hand came back down for the three and just like that all the sound came back to her ears. The Nexus' music flooded the arena, making her ears to ring.

She continued to stare on in disbelief, not fully wanting to accept that he had lost. Her boyfriend was going to become a fixture of The Nexus. He had worked so hard to break them down and in the end they proved to be stronger than him.

Her eyes moved from her unmoving boyfriend to the celebration of Nexus. Her blood boiled at the sight of them hoisting Wade on their shoulders. It wasn't a clean win. Nexus came out and distracted everybody, leaving those two men to come out and hit John. She knew they had something to do with it. She wasn't stupid. The interference of those two men made her hope that the GM saw this and would reverse the decision the next night on Raw.

When Nexus dispersed from the ring, she slowly slid inside and crawled over to John who was sitting in the corner. The disappointment clearly written on his face. Together, they watched as they taunted them at the top of the ramp.

"Let's go, Alex." John whispered to her, lacing his hand with his.

When they made it backstage, they made it a point to go directly to their locker room, get their things, and leave. The sooner they left, the better. Superstars and divas were already whispering, trying to figure out just exactly what was going to happen next and neither wanted him to be the target of their questions.

"Cena!"

John and Alex turned around to see Wade, with the rest of Nexus following behind him, heading their way. Smug looks on each and every one of their faces.

"You know the deal?" Wade questioned. "Just remember you can't back out."

"I'm a man of my word." John muttered, hating the feeling that he was getting. "You don't have to be afraid."

Alex looked at her boyfriend in surprise. In the time that they had been together, she had never seen him give in so easily. His pride was always something that he taken seriously and something he would never give up. It seemed that he not only lost his dignity that night.

"Don't be so sure." Alex piped up. "I doubt tonight's interference went unnoticed by the GM."

Wade swung his gaze down to the woman standing next to John. He had seen her around, but he hadn't known her name. All he knew was that she was her name and that she was a diva. Truth be told, he didn't care for anybody but himself, so she was the least of his worries.

"Grow up a little." Wade smirked in her direction. "I don't know where you think you are, but here things tend to go a bit differently. When a deal is made, its fulfilled. Cena lost, so the stipulation goes into effect."

"You're a son of bitch." Alex glared at the Brit standing before her. "You won't get away with this."

"Babe, let it go." John snapped, grabbing her by the hand. "This isn't a big deal. Everything will work itself out."

"John-"

"Just drop it, Alex!" He snapped, walking off.

When he was gone, Alex turned her attention back to the group of men standing before her. Their smug looks made her angry. They had no right to the way they were. Nobody had ever done a thing to them and they walked around like they owned the place.

"You should listen to him, Alex." Wade stepped towards the petite brunette. "Opening your mouth won't help anyone out."

"Fuck you!" She spat.

Wade stood in place, staring at the woman before him. A smirk playing at his lips. She was definitely something else.

"Stop!" He ordered when he saw his fellow Nexus members step towards her. "Wait for me in the locker room. I want a word with her."

He watched as they walked away, leaving him alone with her. When they were out of his line of vision, he turned his attention back to her. Again, he stepped towards her, seizing her wrist in the process.

"It's too late to run now." He said harshly. "You could have left when Cena left, but for some stupid reason you decided to stay behind."

"Let me go." She spat, trying to release her hand from his vice like grip. "You're nobody to treat anybody like this."

"Oh no?" He quickly pulled her to him. "I believe I am somebody. Because of me I've shaken up the foundation of this company. I single handedly defeated your boyfriend. Face it, I'm a force to be reckoned with. And if you're smart, you'll walk away right now."

"I'm not walking away from him." Alex was still trying to wrestle her hand away from his grip. "I don't give a fuck about this stipulation, about you, or any of your little lemmings."

"You're dumber than you look." He seethed. "Fine, you had your chance to walk away from this all. I was willing to let you go and be free of all this, but now I won't."

"I'm afraid." She bit back sarcastically.

"You should be." He tightened his hold on her wrist. "We're going to make your life a living hell."

"John will help me."

For the first time he laughed, glaring down at the girl before him. "You seem to forget doll, he's one of us now. He can't save himself, much less you.

With that he let go of her, pushing her back. Sending one last smirk her way, he sauntered down to his locker room. Knowing that there was someone stupid enough to stand by John's side, he knew he was going to have fun. The fact that she was his girlfriend made things all the more better.

Alex glared at the Brit until he continued to get smaller and smaller. When he was gone, she turned on her heel and exited through the back door. Fuming, she made her way to the bus that the company used for some of the superstars.

"I can't believe you stood there and took their bullshit." Alex said, throwing her things down on the floor.

"Relax, baby." John walked over to her, pulling her into his arms. "Everything will be fine."

"Did I miss something?" She was perplexed. "Ten minutes ago you were pissed about the whole thing. What the hell happened?"

"I'll admit, I'm still pissed off about the entire thing. For months I've been working to get rid of them and they just won't go away." He admitted out loud. "While I was waiting for you, I got to thinking. I couldn't beat them from the outside, but I could do even more damage from the inside."

Alex picked her head off his chest and looked up into his eyes. "You're going to take them down one by one?"

"Yes."

"I like it!" She exclaimed, pressing her lips to his.

Maybe John being in Nexus won't be so bad, she thought. He could definitely get things done a lot faster and rid the company of them. This was a good thing. Oh, how wrong she was.
