So here we go with a brand new story! YAY! (Be excited :)

I'm attempting to conquer The Shield, so I hope you all like what I have planned.

HUGE adoration and appreciation goes out to my wonderful muse the lovely, intelligent, thought provoking,

This story would still be just a day dream without her help.

"Somebody want to tell me what the FUCK is going on?" Hunter roared as he burst into his wife's office.

He threw the door open with a vengeance, the loud bang echoing through the small room.

Stephanie McMahon Helsmley was watching a live feed of RAW with Randy Orton and Kane at her side. They barely reacted. His reaction was to be expected after what had just happened in the ring.

"They went rogue. I didn't order that." she defended, slouching in irritation.

"There were supposed to be a good addition for what we're trying to do. They were supposed to be bodyguards, not some loose cannon vigilantes!" he berated, pointing at the screen angrily.

Hunter was not one to be made a fool out of, yet The Shield had managed to do just that. Instead of looking like a unified powerhouse they had come across as a disjointed, unsupervised pack of heathens.

How could they be titled as "The Authority" if they had none over their newest members?

Hunter pointed his finger at his wife, "They were YOUR idea! You said they could be controlled. I let you talk me into this bullshit!"

"Calm down H. We can spin this however we want." Randy offered coolly.

He stretched his long legs out on the coffee table already bored with the conversation.

Hunter was about to blow a gasket, "Calm down? Are you fucking kidding me? This is my reputation on the line. Nobody makes a mockery of me, especially some green as grass, shitheads trying to make a name for themselves."

Stephanie stood up and put her hands on his chest, "It is all of our reputations on the line honey. they jumped the gun tonight by attacking Punk. Maybe they were anticipating our strategy and wanted to impress us."

She knew exactly how to calm him down. Hunter had already opened his mouth to protest, but Stephanie kissed him instead.

"I don't know what happened tonight, but I will get to the bottom of it." she assured him with an omnipotent wink, "We need them for all of this to come to fruition. Trust me, I know what I'm doing."

Hunter gritted his teeth as she went around him to the door with Kane on her heels, "Just deal with it."

Randy smirked as the door closed, clasping his hands behind his head nonchalantly, "I'm glad she DEALS with you."

"Fuck off Orton." Hunter spat, looking through the numerous reports Kane had left behind, "I wouldn't be so blase...you can be replaced too."

Randy scoffed under his breath, "By who? Nobody else had the balls to do what I do for this company or for you and Steph."

Hunter rolled his eyes, hunched over the papers, "Your arrogance will always hold you back."

"It hasn't yet, but you keep telling yourself that." Randy shot back.

He had never backed down from any kind of argument or fight with Hunter. They had clashed from the beginning, their animosity triggering their competitive nature and elevating them both into the upper echelon of the company.

Stephanie had been right yet again when she chose to pair them together. She always had the foresight to focus on her endgame. It had worked with Evolution and it was going to work again with The Authority.

Her main task at the moment was to keep egos corralled so they didn't all kill each other.

Luckily for her, she had the perfect pawn to keep everyone in check.

Slow start, I know kiddos, bear with me. You know how I do: business will pick up here soon :)

Can't wait to hear from you lovelies!
