Disclaimer: Story idea is mine. Lucky, the Rookies and Nexus belong to FCW/WWE and themselves. Story involves the following: strong sexual content, rape references, kidnapping, mentions of alcohol use and drug use
Notes: Story takes place during NXT Season 2. Nexus is still together with the original lineup (minus Daniel Bryan). Lucky Cannon is still a part of FCW.
Battle Royal
Nexus suddenly enters the ring during the Battle Royal between the Pros and the Rookies. At first it looks like to help the rookies; however they end up attacking everyone! One moment Lucky is fighting Otunga, the next he's getting jumped by Darren Young from behind. The two men toss him over the top rope and onto the padded floor. The impact when hitting the floor knocks the air out of him. Darren jumps from the apron. He pulls Lucky up to his knees by his long hair.
"You don't get anywhere being the good guy." Darren spits into his ear before shoving him face first back to the mat.
Later that night…
"You sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine."
Mike decides to not press any more. He and Lucky continue the drive in silence. He wasn't really friends with Heath, Justin and Fred, but he knows enough to question their peculiar changes. Lucky is his friend and he's concerned that he's fighting a loosing battle. Lucky's a tough guy, but sometimes his goal to do good gets his feelings hurt.
"Something's not right about this." He hears Lucky say. "You just can't turn your back on everything thing. Or on people that care."
"Maybe they're not who you thought they were. People sometimes do questionable things to achieve their goals."
The car ride falls into silence again. Soon, they reach their destination: a motel. Not one of the best, but it's close to the airport. Just as he opens the door to get out, Lucky's iPhone sounds off. A scowl appears on his face when he sees the caller id.
"What do you want?" he answers.
"Hey buddy." Heath responds in his smooth southern style. "How's the face?"
Heath laughs softly. In the background Lucky hears companion snickers.
"I'm hanging up now. ", he warns.
"Whoa, calm down. I just wanted to talk to you. You know? Like old times."
"After what Nexus did in the ring?"
"Fred got caught up in the moment. He says he's sorry."
Darren says in the background, "No, I'm not." He gets a smack for his troubles.
"Yeah," Heath continues. "Fred's sorry."
Mike raises an eyebrow when he sees Lucky do an eye roll.
"Seriously though, I miss hanging out with you. We all do."
The dark haired man can't help but smile. That's what he's looking for. He knew he hadn't lost them totally!
"Same here." Lucky says.
"Well you know we can have that time back." Heath tells him. "It can be like old times."
"What? You thinking about leaving Nexus?"
"No. How about you come join us?"
Lucky sighs in disappointment. He really thought he was getting somewhere.
"Heath, dude….no. I'm not going to do that."
Lucky makes another attempt to end the call, but Heath says something that makes his blood run cold.
"Stop pretending you're such a good boy. We all know you're far from one." A chuckle follows. "I know what happened that night..."
And then silence.
