She wanted to see the baby girl so bad. Aegea knew this was the first child born on the compound since she had been herself. So it was a special event especially it was the first birth at the compound in a long time.
Coming back from the LA compound after helping them with a building project, Aegea, Cleo and eleven other of their Warriors were heading through the main strip of Las Vegas, the hometown and the origins of The Amazon Biker movement. Their mixed class of motorcycles roared through, earning looks of awe and contempt from people around them.
Las Vegas in the daylight was not as glamorous as it was in the night time. Of course it was during the night when most of the problems seemed to happen. How many times had they been called out of their bunks when something like domestic violence occurred? That month at least six different times.
With the want and need of getting back to the compound high on her priority, Aegea led the way with the other Amazons following their Queen's Harley Fat Boy down the strip.
Go Go dancers, women in skimpy plumage outfits stood outside dance halls and some of the casinos trying to entice men into them. Off the strip Aegea knew of most of the strip clubs because some of the women they encountered worked there. But that day was all about new life, about the positive things that had been happening to the faction.
Turning off the main strip and onto a street that would lead them North, to the highway, they came to a red light. The morning sun was already starting to turn hot, the heat made Aegea's shoulders sweat making the leather jacket stick to the skin of her shoulders and her upper back. As she waited for the light to turn green on the turn lane, she happened to glance to her right at the silver compact car that was waiting to for the green light on the straight lane.
The man in the driver seat turned his head to look at her. His window was down, his arm resting on the window lining and she could see that he had well defined muscles. Although not particularly handsome, she recognized him.
He was the man that was on a picture of that truck trailer back at the arena. How long ago was that? Two months? Yeah, he was that WWE wrestler known as Dean Ambrose. With his shaggy style of wavy dish blond hair and a crooked smile, he was looking at her. She didn't see anyone else in the car with him, not that from where she was perched on her Harley she could see anyone else in the car. It didn't mean that he didn't have someone else in the car with him.
He smirked at her, a crooked grin that instantly made her smile back at him in a similar manner. The corner of her mouth quirked up and she lifted two fingers in a mock salute, at least showing some dignity of respect for him. She didn't know anything about him other than his ring name and that he was in a wrestling faction known as The Shield, who fought some sort of warped idea of injustice that was plaguing the WWE. She didn't care, the others ones, the youngsters preferred to watch these three men because they were reminded of what the Amazons did on a daily basis.
The straight lane light turned green and Dean Ambrose started to turn away and drive off. Only that didn't really happen.
On the oncoming lane she picked up the sound of a revved engine, she saw one heading down the opposite facing lane swerving around a car that was in it's way, and then careened head on into the silver compact car, making it even more compact. The impact alone was enough to send a shower of glass raining down on Aegea's helmeted head.
"Gea! Are you okay?" Lyra, one of the younger Warriors from the twelve other bikers with her asked as she jumped off her red Honda street bike.
"I'm okay." She responded dusting the glass off of her shoulders. "Let's see if he's okay." She pointed to the silver compact car that was now practically missing the front end because it was severally smashed in.
The man Dean Ambrose was leaning forward over the steering wheel when Aegea got there. Blood mixed in with his hair, dribbling down his arm from the various small lacerations from what she could make out. But there was an added issue.
"There's two more men in here." She called out over her shoulder.
"What do you mean two more?" Lyra asked glancing in the window. "Well shit."
"Lyra, take the smaller man in the back seat. Cleo," she looked at her second in command.
"I got the big guy. Poly, Nesia, you two are with me."
Practically jumping up onto the trunk of the car, Cleo scrambled over the roof and jumped down onto the ground near the front passenger car where the man known as Roman Reigns was slumped over against his door.
Lyra and two other bikers headed to the opposite back passenger side to help get Seth Rollins out of the backseat.
Leaning through the open window, Aegea reached and tried to unclip the seat belt that held Dean in place. Only problem was that the damn thing was stuck.
"Countess," she looked at the flat nosed raven haired woman in the black biker suit. "I need your knife."
"Here." She slid it out of her boot and passed it over to Gea.
"I can't get his door open." Lyra called out.
"Use the butt of your gun to smash out the window, then you have to pull him through the window itself, like what we're doing with this guy." She instructed the younger Warrior.
Aegea reached behind her to give the knife back to Countess before reaching in and struggling to get his upper body out of the car. From what she could smell, there was a large chance of a fire starting and to have three men go up in smoke was not what she wanted. Hell, it wasn't what anyone wanted at that moment.
"Why are we doing this, Gea?" Countess asked moving to her side and reaching in for the man's left arm. "Why are we helping a bunch of men?"
Why indeed? This wasn't what she was known for, this wasn't what the Amazons were seen as doing. The thought of helping men when all they ever dealt with were the bastards that beat and bloodied their wives and children was a far fetched one. But still, it was the humane act of a human being.
"Because we can." She responded after not coming up with a good answer. "They haven't done us wrong. Now pull his ass out of the goddamn car, Countess."
All three men had to get pulled out of the windows because their doors were jammed shut. No amount of force from a group of women could get it to open for them. So they had to struggle to get the men out of the windows. There was glass from the shattered window that proved to be difficult to do but Aegea managed to deal with it.
With Countess on her left, Aegea slung Dean's arm around her shoulder and with his left arm around Countess, they began pulling. Two other women came up when most of his body came through the window, all they had to do was cradle his body so that they wouldn't drop him.
"Wait, his foot is stuck." Serena called out before reaching into the car and untangling his foot with the warped steering wheel. "Kay, he's clear."
Those four women pulled a six foot four man out of a mangled car with onlookers watching. With his arms around two of the women's shoulders, Aegea had to hold on to his belt so that her body could take his weight while she and Countess walked backward towards the nearby bikes, a ways from where the car sat mangled with the other car.
"Is the idiot in that one alive?" She asked, pointing to the blue truck that had swerved into Dean's car.
"Got out and ran away." Countess said.
The sun seemed hotter now as she laid Dean down on the ground. It was getting worse, her shoulder was bared as she leaned over Dean's head, checking for a pulse. He had one, that was a good thing.
"How are the other two?" She asked looking at Serena who was standing nearby.
The blond woman looked over the top of the wreckage. "I can't tell how they are doing but I think the others got them out and clear."
With how tall and big Roman Reigns was, it was evident that a lot of the women had to help Cleo and the Hawaiian twins get out of the car. Much like what the four women had to do with Dean, Roman was pulled out but apparently with much more effort because of the size of his body. He wasn't the size of a Duke Brother, but it was difficult to get him out. Of the three men Seth Rollins didn't need as much help out, Lyra and two others had him out in no time after getting the window busted in and they had to cut him out.
A noise, sounding a lot like the popping of wood on fire came from the nearby cars. There was a whoosh sound and the heat around the area went from hot to hellish hot. Glancing over her shoulder, it took a second to realize that the cars were on fire. The mangled frames had fire right in the engine compartments, just on the underside. People weren't coming towards these women who were making sure that the three men involved in the wreck. From Aegea's spot she didn't know if the other two were okay, but Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns had taken the brunt of the wreck in their laps and heads.
Dean's jeans were badly ripped, blood staining his blue jeans darker than what they had been. His eyes were closed, he didn't look tough and strong as he had appeared in the image on the truck Aegea had seen. He didn't look like the bad ass that he seemed to be on television. No, he looked weak, injured and unconscious.
"We need to get EMTs here." Aegea looked at Serena.
"I'm on it." She said standing up, wiping the blood off her hands on her black jeans before heading to her saddle bag on her bike where Gea thought she kept her phone.
Looking down at the man she had pulled out of the wreck, Aegea sighed. He was alive, that much was evident. She placed her hand on his chest and felt it rising and falling steadily, then she moved her fingers to his pulse point on his neck and it was clear that he had a strong pulse. He was just knocked unconscious. Or there could be worse damage for the medics to deal with.
"What are we going to do?" Countess asked.
"We're going to make sure that the paramedics tend to them. We'll find out which hospital they are being taken to and check in on them."
Aegea watched as Countess knelt down next to her. "He's one of those wrestlers the kids watch, right?"
"Yeah, I saw his picture on a truck at the arena." She answered.
"Bet he's just like the rest of them." Countess rubbed her nose with the back of her hand. "Willing to just sleep with women for the heck of it."
"Isn't that what we are known for, only we seek comfort with men when we deem fit?"
It was true, they needed to keep a bad ass persona up for the masses. So acting like a bunch of feminist crazed women, hired guns for women needing to be escorted from their homes and whatever was necessary. But that was just on the outside, it really masked what they were doing. It had been years since a man, any man, had been to the compound for any purpose other than servicing the women.
"Do you think we need one of those at the compound? Is that what you're thinking?"
"I have absolutely no damn idea what I'm thinking. They just sort of intrigue me." She shrugged.
Off in the distance there was a distinct wail that had Aegea looking up. It was an unmistakeable sound of an ambulance. Along with cop cars.
The entire intersection was littered with car parts and broken pieces. There were people outside the buildings watching everything going on. People were filming the incident.
"Why aren't anyone trying to help?" Serena asked.
"They're too scared or stupid to do anything." Aegea said when Serena stood staring at one group of men who had their phones out filming the entire thing. "Not everyone is made to be heroes of their own life."
The sirens grew closer, the cops were the ones that got there first.
"Do you know what happened?" A female cop with blond hair tied back into a bun on the nape of her neck asked kneeling next to Aegea.
"The driver of this car," she motioned to Dean, "had the right of way. He was going through when the man of the blue truck barreled through the intersection and hit his car straight on. I was on my Harley the next lane over when it happened. Damn near had a glass shower today."
The cop woman nodded. "Is he okay? Has he woken up?"
"No, he was unconscious when we pulled him out, along with two other men. They are on the other side of this wreckage." Aegea pointed in the direction where she thought she saw the other women from her group.
The cop woman called out to her partners. "There are two more victims over there. I'm going to get my extinguisher to put out the flames."
To see a woman taking control of the situation, especially one that dealt with a gang of women who were not seen in good light, was what Aegea wanted to deal with. The other times that she had dealt with cops in general were not in very good light, or under better circumstances. Not that this instance was any better than the last, but the laws and the Amazons didn't tend to get along even when they were on the same side.
Two ambulances came onto the scene, on the opposite side where the other Amazons had Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Aegea stood up, looked around and saw that the other groups of Amazons were coming back towards where she, Countess, Serena and the last one of their group were standing near to where their bikes were.
"Cleo, how are they?" Aegea asked.
"Seth and Roman are being loaded into the ambulances. We were told to go away, basically." She shrugged.
"Gea," Lyra, who had a smear of red on her cheek, spoke up. "What's going to happen now?"
"We started the job. We're going to finish it. We answer truthfully to all the cops questions, we find out where the men are being taken to and we make sure that they are being taken care of."
Countess spoke up. "Why?"
"It's the human thing to do."
Scratching her jaw, Countess sighed. "I hope you're not making a big mistake out of this, Gea. I mean, males are all the same. Even the famous ones."
It wasn't the fact that she didn't believe Countess, she had seen it too many times before. But still…
"Look, Aegea, this is a bad thing." Countess looked at the man prone on the ground.
The Queen held up her hand. "Just stop. We're going to deal with this first and then see about going home."
Countess crossed her arms, puffing at a loose piece of hair that fell into her eyes and watched the male cop that arrived on the scene approach them.
Well that's the first official chapter to this story. I hope you enjoyed it. Other updates are to follow, just be patient with me, okay? So until next time, see you guys around.
