*Imigie's POV*

I was on my way to the Divas locker room and passed by Damien Sandow and AJ Lee. AJ stepped in front of me and blocked me.

"You know you can't take my baby," she said and skipped around me. "I'm smart enough to beat you and Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn is out of the title picture so it's just you and me."

"You're welcome!" Damien Sandow shouted.

I suddenly heard a punch to Sandow. I looked and saw Cody Rhodes. AJ tried to pulled Sandow away and Cody stopped attacking him and stood in front of me. It was happening.

"You stay away from us!" Cody shouted. "I'm a scholar no more!" He turned to AJ. "And you keep your hands away from her. She's with me."

AJ skipped away from Sandow and passed Cody then slapped me. I held my face in shock before AJ grabbed me by the hair then slammed me into a shelf then let me go. I fell down, pain was in my face physically and emotionally.

"You're weak imigie!" AJ shouted. "You'll be tapping out."

"You're welcome!" Damien Sandow shouted as he walked closer to me.

I shuddered as he spoke. "I will teach you what it is like to be the weak one like she said, bitch! You're welcome."

Out of nowhere, he slammed my head on the floor before he took off with AJ.

Cody quickly rushed to my side and hugged me. "Are you okay imigie?" he asked me as I covered my forehead. I shook my head sadly. Cody let me go when I saw him looking at my covered forehead. The concern on his face was very clear.

"imigie, let me look. You're covering your head"

I slowly removed my hand from my forehead and noticed blood on my hand. I groaned as I saw it and felt it drip from my forehead. "Ugh," I said. I was agonized.

"Oh no!" Cody sounded concerned. "Poor imi, I need to get you to the trainer's room now."

I shook my head in response. "I have a match today," I replied in a pained voice.

Cody looked more concerned. "No imigie," he said sternly. "This is serious."

"Hey guys." Cody and I looked up. It was Kaitlyn.

"So you guys look totally cute together," she said happily. "I think you shou-" She turned to me and saw the blood dripping from my face. "What happened to you?"

"AJ Lee slammed her against a shelf then Sandow slammed her head against the floor," Cody explained. "She's in bad condition. I'm going to take her to the trainer's room. She's hurt."

Kaitlyn's expression looked shocked as she looked at my head that was still dripping blood. "That sucks," she said. "I hope you get that fixed imigie."

"Oh, she will," Cody replied as he found something handed it to me. "I'll be making sure that she's okay." Kaitlyn left while I held, what it looked to be a towel, over my bloodied head.

Cody stood up then he helped me up. "You still need to get your head checked out," he said worriedly. "It's looks pretty bad."

I nodded as we walked to thr trainer's room. "Cody," I whispered to him. "I'm scared. I'm scared about how much time I need out of the ring."

Cody looked down at me and hugged me for comfort. "Don't worry imigie," he said. "We just need to get your head fixed. I'll be right here with you."

I smiled as he hugged me more.

"Just remember," he continued as we stopped at the door to the trainer's room. "I'm a scholar no more."

*Cody Rhodes's POV*

I opened the door to the trainer's room with my free hand while I held imigie's hand. After seeing the blood drip from her face, I knew this had to get fixed. I became increasingly worried about her. I saw a doctor in the room and saw me.

"Hello Cody," he greeted. "Is there something I can help you with?"

I knew exactly what to tell him. I brought in imigie who was still covering her head. "I have imigie here," I said. "She was hit in the head by being slammed into a shelf and into the floor."

I turned to her as she uncovered the towel from her face that was covered in blood. I winced as I saw the blood drip from her face.

"Yeah," the doctor said. "We need to stitch that up, immediately." He turned to imigie who looked worried. "Don't worry ma'am. We'll get you fixed in no time." He left as I motioned imigie to sit at the table nearby.

"I hate this," she said. "I think we'll need to give a little payback."

I laughed a little as I heard her say this. "Don't worry imigie," I reassured her. "I know it's scary but I'll be by your side. It's going to be okay."

She laid her head on my bare chest as I hugged her back. I didn't care if she got some blood on me. I just wanted her to know that she was going to be okay.

I heard sudden footsteps as I let her go. There was the first doctor with a second doctor.

"Do you want me to leave or is it okay for me to stay with her?" I asked them.

"You can stay with her if you want," the first doctor replied. "Besides, I think we are all going to ship you and her. That kind of friendship, I think you both can take on Damien Sandow and AJ Lee."

I frowned, puzzled to hear what he had said. "You ship us?" I asked.

Both of them shook their heads.

"You and her can become a perfect mixed tag team," the second doctor said.

"But we're not dating," imigie added. "We're just friends. Besides, who says a mixed tag can't be friends?"

I nodded, knowing the point she made. Damn, she was good. "I will have to agree with her," I said before telling her to lay down. I knew it was time for her to get her head stitched up. The first doctor set up a small table of surgical instruments beside the table bed imigie was laying on. I reached my hand to hers as I squeezed it then kissed the non bloodied side of her forehead as saying that everything was going to be okay.

*SearingSorrow imigie's POV*

Cody's grip on my hand gave me a sense of comfort I had never felt before. It was the only thing I was feeling when I saw the doctor's gloved hands with a small piece of a string of some sort pass by me. Was he stitching me up? I couldn't feel anything but comfort. It was a feeling I did not want to forget at all.

"Aww," Cody said in my ear. "You're quite a lovely one."

I couldn't hold back a smile that was shown on my face.

"It's stitched up," I heard the doctor say. I quickly got myself out of the bed and was stopped by Cody who held me.

"I would wait about a few days for that to heal up," the doctor said to me. "I wouldn't compete in those few days before we remove the stitch."

I nodded as I followed Cody out of the trainer's room and came face to face with Damien Sandow and AJ Lee.

AJ was standing in front of me and Damien was standing by Cody. I felt seething anger fill me.

"Hi," AJ said then laughed.

I slapped her on the face then threw her too a wall. I felt a sense of relief but I wasn't finished. I turned to Damien and slapped him.

"Your welcome," Cody said as I blew Damien a kiss. We walked away and were about to separate when Cody turned to me.

"We should be a tag team," he said. "And we should be called... Rhodes of Sorrow."
