Hear Only My Voice

Randy walked back stage headed to his locker room. He had only been back from his suspension for a couple of weeks and he was a little sore from his tag match that night. He just wanted to get to the locker room and take a shower. He also wished he could block out the voices he heard. The more tired he was, the more other's thoughts invaded his mind.

"Nice match Randy," a deep voice called out to him. He looked over and saw Glenn (aka Kane) sitting in street clothes. "Thanks, Glenn," Randy called back to him and continued down the hall.

As he slowly continued to make his way to the room, his mind searched for a voice that helped him sometimes. He didn't know whose it was, because it sounded distorted, but it had a calming nature to him.

'Randy,' the deep distorted voice suddenly came through all the other voices. 'You'll be fine. Just concentrate on my voice and build the walls to block out the others'. Randy felt himself automatically calm at the sound of the voice and did as instructed. Soon the only voices he could here were the distorted one and his own.

'Thank you,' Randy thought. 'No need to thank me, you catch on quickly. Soon you will not need me, you will be able to block the voices on your own', the voice complimented him.

'Will ...you disappear on me then?' Randy thought worriedly. 'Not if you don't want me to,' the voice responded. 'Could I meet you sometime?' Randy asked. 'You might be meeting me sooner than you think,' the voice answered and with that Randy felt the voice recede from his mind.

Sweat dropped from his forehead as he reached up and brushed the hair from his face. He always felt a little dizzy after he's projected thoughts. He felt a calming and strengthening hand on his shoulder and looked up.

"What are you doing here, Mark?" he asked the other slightly taller and older man.

"I came by to visit Glenn, and see if I could help," the Mark said, "you shouldn't strain yourself. Is he worth it?"

"Yes, he is. He has strength and he's a natural. He just needs teaching. He wants to meet me," he told the older man.

"What are you going to do if when he finds that he already knows you he's disappointed?" Mark said.

Glenn shrugged and said, "I'll deal with that if it goes that way. What about your interest? I know you saw him."

"Yeah, I saw him. Don't worry I'll handle it when time," Mark answered, "You know, I heard that a group including Randy are going to the bar tonight."

"Maybe he will meet me sooner than later," Glenn said.

The two men walked off anticipating what that night may bring.

Randy made it to his locker with only a slight headache. He finished his shower and had just put on a pair of jeans, when there was a knock at his locker door. Already knowing who it was, Randy opened the door saying, "Hi John, come in. I'll be ready in a minute."

"Cool, I'm glad you decided to come out with us, Randy. You need to have some fun," John said.

"Yeah, it's good to be back and I've been so busy, we haven't had the chance to hang out," Randy said.

"Well, finish getting ready so we can get out of here," John said trying to hurry Randy up.

"Okay, Okay," Randy said as he slipped a shirt and put his shoes on.

When he was done, he grabbed his coat and bag saying, "Okay, let's go." The two men walked to their cars and went to the bar they were meeting a group of friends at.

The two young men got to the bar and walked looking for their friends. They took a quick look and saw the group they were looking for.

The group included Cody, Ted, R-Truth, Maria, Amy, and a few others. They walked towards their friends table when Randy started to get the feeling of immense calm. He looked around and saw sitting at a table his mentor, Hunter, Shawn, Mark and Glenn. John and Randy decided to get a drink first and then go see the older group, before they joined their friends.

After receiving their drinks, they walked over to the table of four. Randy missed Hunter, since he announced he was thinking of retiring. Randy reached the table and put a hand on Hunter's shoulder.

Hunter turned around and on seeing that it was Randy gave him a hug. Shawn, on seeing John, jumped up and gave him a big hug.

"Hi, Hunt," Randy said, "How have you been?"

"I've been doing well. I noticed you've been a little off lately, are you doing ok?" Hunter asked his former student.

"Yeah," Randy lied slightly, "I've been doing and feeling good enough. We better get to our table John"

So, with a promise of hanging out later with the four older men before their night was over, John and Randy went to join their friends.

After the two went to join their friends, Shawn looked at the group and asked, "So, Mark and I haven't been around lately. Has anyone heard anything about 'him'?

"No," Glen said, "haven't heard what happened to him after McMahon fired him."

"Which is a good thing," Hunter said, "with any luck it'll stay relatively quiet around here."

They all agreed and Mark said, "Well I think it's time for another round. I'll buy this one."
