Summerslam 2016…
"Stay down, bitch!" Seth yelled after kicking the steel steps, having not heard the sickening sound echo from Amanda's thumb, index and middle fingers… but Finn did and within seconds, his rage took over and he was attacking Seth.
Seth fought back and picked Finn up, powerbombing him into the barricade and Amanda's eyes widened in horror as she heard Finn's right shoulder snap out of its socket and Finn saw the tears streaming silently down the petite brunette's face.
Finn relocated his shoulder and stood up, running at Seth and attacking him before tossing him into the ring. Turning to Amanda after running over, he pulled the steps away and relocated her fingers and thumb.
"Your shoulder…" Amanda whispered as Finn crouched down.
"Mandy, don't worry bout me… get those fingers and thumb checked." Finn whispered to her.
"After you go in there and kick his crazy ass." Amanda responded, the two sharing a quick kiss before Finn ran into the ring and she stood up.
The ending was improvised but Finn was handed the championship and him and Amanda hugged… but when they walked into the backstage area, Hunter ran to them.
"Kids…" Hunter said.
"His right shoulder…" Amanda spoke up, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Her thumb, index and middle fingers on her right hand…" Finn responded, his left arm around Amanda's shoulders.
"How bad?" Hunter managed to ask… but the looks in their eyes spoke volumes, the two felt like they had fucked up out there and Hunter took his surrogate kids into his arms, all three hugging.
To them, everything seemed to move in slow motion after that… the two were holding each other in the trainer's room once they were alone, their foreheads pressed together.
"I'll be right back…" Amanda whispered, her and Finn kissing again before she left… and stopped to let it out.
"Mandy?" She heard, her head snapping up and Seth seeing pure rage in her eyes. "How bad?" Seth asked.
"You dare ask me how fucking bad?! His labrum is torn because of you, you reckless bastard!" Amanda growled lowly, her voice increasing to a yell and her clenching her already injured right hand into a fist and slamming it right into Seth's nose before she proceeded further with the beating and Seth's screams were agonizing as he was down on the ground and Amanda was mercilessly attacking him.
"Roman! Roman, help! Help me, she's gonna kill me!" Seth screamed, Roman managing to restrain Amanda after pulling her off and seeing Finn run to them, Amanda's tears increased and her biting on the corner of her mouth.
Roman noticed it again when he looked at Amanda… the shift from the enraged Demon Mistress to the feeling betrayed beyond belief Shield sister… and roughly yanked a bruised and bleeding Seth up to his feet, shoving him back.
"Fuck off! And don't go near them again unless you want to apologize!" Roman growled, Seth taking off and Roman turning to Finn and Amanda.
"I shouldn't have gone off like that…" Amanda responded as Finn carefully examined her right hand, the fingers and thumb still in their sockets but bruising quickly.
"Don't be sorry about it, babe. He should've waited until you calmed down." Finn replied.
"Listen to him, Mandy Rose, he's right… you two obviously care deeply about each other, you have for a long time." Roman responded, kissing Amanda on her forehead and him and Finn shaking hands. "Take good care of each other… let it happen, embrace your changing relationship." He said before leaving…
Present time, Wrestlemania 33…
Amanda was waiting for the cue to head to the curtain when she felt Finn's arms wrap around her shoulders, the tiny brunette nuzzling into him.
"I could've sworn I saw someone walking around here earlier with fabric red wings on her back…" Amanda responded as Finn nuzzled his beard against her skin… and his eyes widening slightly as he felt how warm her skin was.
"Yeah, I think you caught Seth's cold." Finn replied.
"Possibly. But I'm not imagining this." Amanda responded before she sneezed, Finn lightly rubbing his right hand up and down his girlfriend's back. "I'll be okay." She replied.
"Maybe you shouldn't go out." Finn said.
"Match is already set…" Amanda responded as she snuggled against him. "I'm okay… it's not like it was in November." She whispered, Finn remembering when she had been sick with Bronchitis and had barely left the bed in their hotel room for two days.
Out there for the match, Amanda blocked out how she was feeling and let the adrenaline take over… before the lights suddenly went out.
"Oh ha ha, Charlotte! Won't work like last time!" Amanda responded, Charlotte turning confused.
"Choose your destiny…. Flawless victory…. Choose your destiny… Flawless Victory…. Mortal Kombat!" A man voice said before the lights came back on and Ashley Hardy stood at the end of the ramp, her red wings spread out.
"Holy fuck!" Amanda responded after opening her eyes and Ashley getting in the ring.
The match progressed smoothly… until it broke down into a brawl and referee John Cone threw it out with Ashley pulling Amanda off of Charlotte.
And in the backstage area once they got there, Ashley jumped out of her skin after Amanda let out a loud sneeze and cough.
"That's not good kiddo." Ashley said.
"Caught the damn bug from Seth freakin Rollins." Amanda responded as they hugged. "Oh, I've missed you." She replied after they let go and Finn found them. "Ash, this is my boyfriend, Finn Balor. Finn, this is my closest childhood friend, Ashley Hardy." She said before the two shook hands.
"Just to let you know, you hurt her and I'll have a body bag with your name written on it." Ashley said.
"Her dad said the same thing to me back in December when she brought me to meet the family." Finn responded before all three saw Matt and Jeff.
"So much for the vision." Jeff said.
"Jeff, don't start with the how I should still be single speech again." Amanda replied.
"Oh no he's not talking about you. He's talking about us coming back in with a bang." Ashley said.
"True but wait… she's not single anymore?" Jeff responded.
"Oh here we go." Ashley said.
Amanda had a feeling that this wouldn't go over as well as she hoped.
