a/n: Being the horrible person that I am, I am barely finishing a request that was given over a year ago. It's actually a remake of 'Heart Attack' (for those who may have read it), I hit massive writers block with that story, and with the requestor's permission removed it with the intent to republish something else. That brings us here to this story!
With that being said, I own absolutely nothing, except for this idea. Mara Blair was created by (Sapphireflames2013), and Randy Orton was created by his parents (shout-out to them btw). I hope that everyone enjoys!
Chapter One
Don't Call It A Comeback
Randy Orton sat in Stephanie McMahon's office, his icy blue eyes running over the words on the packet that she had just handed him a few minutes before. He had just come back on the road after being on the injured list for the past few months. While it was good for him to be home with his daughter, he was itching to get back into the ring. Hunter had been brainstorming ideas on just how to do that, since most of the headliners were smack dabbed in the middle of their own storylines. Adding him to the mix would just mess everything up, plus, there was no time to really have any build-up to that.
"So, what do you think?" looking up, he met the blue eyes of his bosses daughter, who was perched on her husband's lap, "I think that you're the perfect guy for the job."
"So this girl… am I like her valet or something?"
"Oh gosh no! I'm sure that you've heard the rumor about Inter-Gender Tag Titles possibly being brought into our championships."
"Yeah, I read it on the internet. I assumed it was a lie."
"Okay, well we're testing the waters. We have a few that we're going to put in the mix, you and one of these lucky ladies…" she gestured to a line of manila folders, "are going to be pushed as our power couple."
Silence filled the room then, was this really how he wanted to make his comeback? Carrying some no-name girl who probably couldn't even wrestle to begin with?
"Look, I know that this is way below your pay grade and what you're used to – just do this for us, please. We'll have you gunning for the title of your choosing in no time."
Letting out a sigh, he finally nodded, "Well it's not often that the boss begs… I'm in. Does it matter which one I choose?"
Stephanie, now with a big smile on her face, shook her head, "Nope. But I will say this, whomever you choose, you're stuck with until we part ways with this storyline. Unless something major happens that would force us to change girls that is."
He shrugged, "Fair enough." Grabbing from the middle, he flipped the folder open, "Mara Blair. Hm, I've never even heard of her. She is beautiful though." He stated as he caught a glimpse of her photo in the left hand corner.
"Yeah, she was a big hit with Shimmer, we're actually pretty lucky to have gotten her. She will need help getting adjusted to how we do things around here though."
"So, she's legit? Not just some whore in tights?"
"Yeah, isn't that surprising?" Hunter joked.
"It actually is. This might not be so bad after all." Getting up, he reached over the desk to shake hands with the Levesques. Thanking them for their time, he turned to exit the room.
"Come by Creative tomorrow for the script, my guys are putting the finishing touches on it as we speak."
"Got it, catch you two later."
LATER THAT DAY
It felt good to be back in the weight room, with his collarbone injury, working out like he was used to, had been out of the question, until he was officially cleared. Placing the dumbbells back on the rack, he walked over to the squat rack. As soon as he was going to start a rep, his music stopped and his ringtone went off.
"Hello?"
"Hi, is this Randy Orton?"
"It sure it, who is this?"
"This is Mara Blair, Stephanie gave me your contact info. Apparently you're my new tag partner…"
Randy sighed, "Yeah… I'm just as excited as you are, believe me."
"Look, if this is what I have to do to get closer to that Divas title, then I'm going to do it."
"Well, I want my WWE Championship back, so it's obvious that we're at least on the same page."
The attitude tone settled in her voice then. "Alright. Let's just meet at the Performance Center tomorrow morning, we need to get to know each other if we're going to pull this relationship off."
"Whoa, relationship?"
"Yup, didn't you get your script?"
"Negative, Steph told me to drop by tomorrow," he rolled his eyes, of course there had to be a catch to this whole thing, "but alright, I'll meet you there."
"Okay, bye."
Once he hung up, he grabbed onto the barbell, "Son of a bitch, Stephanie."
a/n: So… what did you guys think? Mara has the likeness of Demi Lovato, if any of y'all were needing help visualizing her. This story is a 5 chapter story, and all of them will be uploaded at once!
