Some events i create will co-inside with what wwe was doing at that time, but mostly it won't, i've changed things to fit the story i want to portray.

Chapter 1

A New Beginning

Mickie James hadn't wrestled for coming up to two years, she knew what was kind of happening in the business but it hurt to much to watch the product knowing she wouldn't be doing it again. She promised herself she wouldn't wrestle for anyone else incase it jeopardized working with WWE again in the future, she still spoke to a few of her old colleagues through twitter a few times a month for WWE gossip and general chattery. The loyalty she showed to WWE payed off, she got the call to come down a few weeks ago, they wanted her for a main event storyline, she was behind the curtain watching John Cena current WWE champion, her stomach was doing flips.

"You ok?" Dean Ambrose put a hand softly on to the veterans back, he was coming out with Mickie whilst the other two members of the shield came through the crowd as normal.

Mickie looked to one of her newer friends on the roster, smiling slightly "Just nervous" with one deep exhale, Mickie asked, "You ready?" He nodded taking a breathe, Ryback had just beaten up Cena and Dolph was currently going mental pouncing on the vulnerable champion. "It's show time" Mickie pulled the curtain back as the bass kicked into the shields theme music, "After you" The pair fist bumped as Dean made his entrance on to the ramp, he looked to his right, looking to the nervous looking Ziggler flanked by Aj Lee and Big E.

Roman Reigns looked both ways before hoping over the guard rail nodding towards Seth Rollins who mimicked his actions on the opposite side of the ring.

The Virginia crowd reacted when there own Mickie James walked out onto the entrance stage, she leant her arm on Dean's shoulder who leant slightly to make it easier for the women. Dean looked around with his usual cocky attitude sporting his 'duck lips' whilst Mickie mumbled something to him, he patted her back before heading off down the ramp. He passed both Roman and Seth mumbling to each of them, passing on instructions maybe?

She slowly made her way down the ramp watching the three dark clothed men tease the occupants of the ring, they were outnumbered, but Cena was down, Aj posed no threat and Ryback seemed to distance himself from the two men the hounds of injustice seemed to be after.

Ryback bolted from the ring at first chance, his opportunity came when the three hoped onto the apron, Ziggler and E not advancing forward choosing to protect AJ instead. The camera showed Reigns keep a close evil watching eye on Ryback as he moved past Mickie, when Ryback was through the curtain all attention went back to the people still in the ring.

"She wasn't scared! Mickie James wasn't scared of Ryback! What's going on King?!" Michael Cole screamed trying to put over the confidence Mickie seemed to have. Seth moved his leg into the ring as soon as Dolph shoved his 'baby' out of harms way and he attacked all hell broke loose, AJ got out the ring watching on as the hound of injustice decimated her Ziggy and Big E. Mickie began walking around the ring, AJ moving away from her looking scared for the first time, she was alone and she didn't know what this women was capable of.

"What's happening?" John mumbled as he pretend to start to stir off his stomach in the corner, Mickie lingered slightly by the man "What's going on, they hadn't decided when i came out"

"Sit up, make eye contact" Mickie walked up the steps walking along the apron looking back, John held his neck lifting his head up, he froze noticing Mickie was staring towards him, he then glanced as the shield stood in the ring over Dolph and Big E looking over there shoulder at John.

Mickie got into the ring under the bottom rope, walked over to 'her boys' looking at the damage they'd caused, she slapped each of there hands, they put there fists together as Mickie yelled "Injustice" out to the WWE universe, Monday Night Raw in Virginia ended with Mickie stood in between the lifeless bodies of The Show off and Big E, AJ on the outside trying to see if there ok, The Shield stood stall behind there women John Cena in the background looking nervous and confused all in one.

The Shield were first to emerge backstage, "That was insane" Mickie smiled turning to her boys who quickly snapped out of character, they all high 5'd and hugged celebrating them pulling off a segment no one believed they could, they'd heard the whispering that it would flop that neither of the four could handle putting over Mickie as a credible leader of the three men. It helped it was Mickie's home town, the reactions were amazing even for the littlest of things, this would help them go onto the next shows with more momentum then they ever imagined.

"You pulled it off misses" Hunter smiled walking down the ramp with the four, more darkly dressed members of his roster, "We're not sure how but it looked amazing to watch, How did it feel to be apart of?"

"Incredible, the reactions alone made that for me"

Mickie was slightly shocked the locker rooms had emptied to outside the gorilla position and she was met by them clapping, she'd been part of a lot of these in her time, she was never the receiver however, she looked over her shoulder and even Mr poster boy who was clearly banged up was clapping as he made his way towards them down the ramp. "You deserve this! Enjoy this now! Get to your hotel room get some decent rest and i want you back here first thing" Mickie nodded towards her boss, she looked to her boys grinning who then engulfed her in bear hugs.

As the crowds dispersed only a few were left around, Mickie's arrival at the arena was a last minute thing so word couldn't get out she was here but she'd returned onto TV, she had yet to introduce herself to AJ and Big E who was off getting looked at by the trainers just as a precaution. Mickie had met with Roman Seth and Dean multiple times at each of there homes and her own, just to build up chemistry other than that she hadn't even yet signed her contract incase it got out. WWE really wanted to have this as a big surprise and succeeded, Twitter was blowing up Mickie's name trending worldwide an hour after Raw had ended and she had gotten back to the hotel.

"Hi, I'm AJ it's great to actually meet you" Aj smiled to the women shaking her hand, it was customary, some felt awkward doing it others did it as second nature, either way it was a tradition and you couldn't risk pissing someone off by not doing it.

"I know who you are" Mickie smiled, she motioned for the two to walk, she wanted a bottle of water from the hotel's little shop, "So, kissing Dolph, How exactly is that?" Mickie chuckled and it loosened AJ up, Mickie was never into throwing her weight around on the younger talent, or liking the fact they were scared of her, she'd use the little power she had if she thought it was necessary, she was looked upon as locker room leader now she was back something AJ told her the divas locker room had been lacking, no one brave enough to step forward. "I figured Nattie would take that roll"

AJ just shrugged as she watched Mickie pay for her water "She just never did, don't get me wrong she'd work with you for hours in the ring if you asked for 10 minutes of her time"

"She always has been like that, her downfall is she teaches the girls how to progress over her and i've said that to her face, she gives to much away she has an amazing head for this business and parts with to much of that wisdom she has" The two carried on talking as they made there way through the corridors trying to find the elevator, they stumbled upon the hotel gym, "I probably should go say hi to him, didn't get chance before the show"

"Alright, well i'll see you later" Aj smiled, Mickie watched her walk away before opening the door and making her way over to Cena on his phone in the gym.

"It does really look like your just texting when you do that" John looked up the voice interrupting him putting what he was doing into the app on his phone he has to keep track of his workouts, he rose to his feet.

"Hey kiddo," he went to put an arm around Mickie to hug her but she stood back,

"I'd rather you didn't, your all sweaty"

"Some women like that", John joked with the lastest member of the roster, he sat back down watching her sip her water, "I'm guessing you don't"

"Meh, gotta be in the mood" Mickie joked as she took a seat, she missed the harmless flirting she was able to do with John, he just seemed to know it never meant anything, if she did that with any other superstar on the roster they'd automatically assume she wanted them.

John and Mickie had both been sat straddling the bench for the past hour catching up on the other's life since Mickie was forced to part ways with WWE, there had been a lot of smiling and laughing on both parts, "I'm kinda glad your back, your about the only person here i can talk to, everyone else seems to stay clear of normal conversations with me"

"You do give a don't talk to me vibe dude"

"Oh and you just ignore that"

Mickie nodded confidently "Yeah, think about it, who else has the balls to interrupt you mid work-out"

"I think you have bigger balls than some of the guys at this point"

"Gee, thanks, that's what every women wants to hear, but i wouldn't say that to loudly, you may of just began the start of a vicious rumour"

John put his hand out "Welcome back dude!" Mickie smiled slapping his hand, she watched him stand up and go finish off his workout, it felt good to be back, whether she thought that in a few weeks when she had got back into the day to day grind of WWE who knows but for now, she loved being back. It was the new beginning to her career.
