She sat in first class beside an empty seat and I was glad about that because then no one could bother her. She wanted to go home. She never thought that she would go off like that. Hell she was amazed that she wasn't fired for hitting one of the superstars. "Karma, can we talk?"
"There is nothing we need talk about." She said to him without looking away from the computer in front of her.
"Karma..." "Let's not do this Shane I never told anyone because I never wanted anyone to know about my past. I wanted to be someone didn't look at twice. I come to work to work not to worry about being seen. And tonight I destroyed that veal that hid me in plain sight. So we are just going to pretend that you never asked for my first name. We are going to act like I am nothing but the grunt worker and that is all I am." She said to him cutting him off from talking to her.
"Adam won't let this go you know." He said to her.
"It doesn't matter he always fucked with me, I'm not worried about that. I'm worried that this is going to make you want to help me more. I don't need it. I just need to work." She said to him.
Shane didn't know what to say to that. All he knew was if his father found out what they have been doing to her that they were so dead. "Did you know that my father was your godfather?"
"Yes I did. Why do you think I came to work here? I wanted him to feel like he was doing something in my life. Not that it matters. It never matters Shane. I learned that one a long time ago." She said finally looking at him.
"I will be watching out for you." He told her.
"No need to I can watch out for myself." She said before she looked back at the computer.
He sat down beside her and looked at the computer to see one of the newest story lines there. "How did you get that?"
"I wrote it, just like I wrote almost all the newer ones." She said to him.
"Really even the one between Shawn and Chris?" He asked her.
"Oh that was my idea but I was stupid to even think that the head writer was being nice on that one. It took it and ran with it. But he really messed it up by having Chris hit Shawn's wife. That wasn't part of my idea neither was the eye thing." She said to him.
Shane just sat back and shook his head. She did more in a week than anyone else did in a month. "You will be getting paid for every storyline you have written or if it was your idea. So when you come up with more you bring them to me and I will make sure you get paid for it."
"You shouldn't do that Shane." She said to him.
"No what I shouldn't do is let this much talent go to waste. Your storylines are the ones that have brought in more rating then the other. I should have known that they didn't write these after all it isn't the way they write." He said to her as someone passed by their seats.
Karma looked up, blushed and then looked down at her computer. Shane looked back and saw that Phil had just walked by. "You know he is single right?"
"Doesn't matter Shane no man wants a women with as much baggage that I have." She said to him.
He didn't know what to say to that because she was right about most of them. "Where are your brothers?"
"They are with my second oldest youngest brother he is a year younger than me." She said to him.
"That would be Kevin right?" He asked her.
"Yeah." She whispered to him.
"You don't like talking about yourself do you?" He asked her with a smile.
"You never had wanted to know before so why start now." She said to him.
Shane knew that she was right and sighed. "I didn't think that you would be here as long as you have."
Karma snorted and shook her head. "Do you even know how long I have been here?"
"It's been about a year right?" He asked her.
"More like three." She said to him.
"I worked in the mail room for six months until your sister decided that I should be the one she degrades after her last assistant quit. Then you joined her in that." She said to him.
"I'm sorry." He said to her.
"The one thing I have learned Shane is no McMahon is sorry." She said before she stood and walked towards the bathroom.
"Is she really richer then you guys?" Jeff asked from behind him.
"She should be." He said to him.
"Well, maybe you should tell her that." Jeff told him.
Shane shook his head and got up. He knew that she wouldn't be back until after he left her seat. So he went back to his seat and looked at Paul. "We really degraded her didn't we?"
"Oh yeah you and Stephanie but the others are just as bad." Paul said as he watched her walk back to her seat and he saw a red mark under her eye. Then he saw Adam push her into her seat and her head hit the side of the plane. He stood and got in front of him.
"Adam I think that you need to go and apologize to Karma before I go hardcore on your ass right here." Paul said to him.
"You aren't my boss. She ain't anything special so move the fuck out of my way." He growled to him.
"Wait a minute you weren't there when she told Shane her first name and you knew it." Adam said as he glared at her.
"I should since she uses to be my brother's girl." Paul growled to him.
Karma spun around and looked at him in horror before she paled and turned away. "So she lied huh? She has had sex."
"No she didn't lie about that. It's the reason he broke it off with her. She wouldn't put out." Paul said as he grabbed Adam and started to pull him towards his seat.
"I'm not saying shit..." He stopped talking when he looked at her and saw the blood that was sliding down the side of her head. Paul threw him aside and looked at Shane. "Get Walter she is bleeding badly and she has passed out."
"I didn't mean to hurt her like that. I was just trying to get her back for the slap." Adam told him softly.
"Get the hell away from me Adam before I kill you. This girl has been through enough shit. She didn't need this too." Paul said as he pulled her into his lap.

Karma woke up and knew that she wasn't on the plane anymore. She knew that because it was bright as hell and there were people rushing around her like she wasn't even there. "This must be heaven. I wonder if mom and dad are here."
"You aren't dead." A voice said from beside her.
She looked over and felt tears start to flow down her face when she saw her oldest brother there holding her hand. "Storm I'm so sorry I didn't show you the pain... I wish it was me that died not them. Never them."
Storm's composure crumbled as tears slid down his face. "If they were here and you weren't they would say the same thing. They would have felt the same way. I'm sorry Karma for not believing that you were hurting. I'm so sorry."
Shane watched from the doorway with his father. She had been out for three days. They didn't even know how long she would be there but there she was awake. "I want to talk to Adam."
Karma looked up and at them in shock. Then she turned towards her brother and hid away. Storm looked at them and they saw rage in his eyes. "I'm going to kill this Adam guy."
"No." Karma said to him.
"WHAT?" He asked her shocked.
"I said no. I can take care of this on my own. It won't happen again that is for damn sure." She said to him and he smiled.
"That is the girl that I know. I wonder where you have been hiding." Storm said as he moved her hair out of her face and looked at the white covering from where she hit the side of her head on the corner of her laptop.
Karma didn't say anything as her eyes closed again. "She needs more rest."
Storm nodded and looked at Shane. "She uses to have a crush on you when she was younger. Dad talked about you so much. Even asked me if he should talk to your father about arranged marriage. But Karma is just like mom. She fought dad for years because it was arranged and I knew that she would do the same thing to you. So I told him no. But now I think that I should have told him yes. She wouldn't be in such poor state waiting for the trust to be hers. She wouldn't have to wonder how she was going to feed everyone and maybe be able to eat too. There wasn't always enough. Hell she uses to make all of our plates and then start on the dishes. She never ate then. No she couldn't because there wasn't enough."
"She sold all dad's cars but eleven of them. The ones that were meant for us. She sold all her pricey clothes just to make sure that we kept the house. She did all that when she was still in high school. The reason I am telling you this is because no matter how bad it got she never broke. She kept on pushing without showing how weak she really was for it. We hated her for that. We wished she had been the one that died instead of them. In five years I have never seen her cry and tonight it broke my heart when I saw her cry. Sad how for so long I just wanted to see her show that she missed them. Just for one tear to slide down her face. But now that I see it I wish I could take it all back. I wish I could stop this from happening. The doctor told me that it looked like she hadn't eaten anything in three days. He asked me if that was normal."
"He also said that she was more than fifty pounds under weight. Said that if she kept up like this then she had less than a year. Sad that I just didn't see it until he pointed it out. She was slowly and painfully killing herself so everyone else could live and we let her do it. We didn't care if she ate or not. Hell we use to make sure there wasn't enough for her to eat. We wanted her to die." Storm said as he held on to her hand.
"STORM!!!" Kevin yelled as nine guys pushed their way into the room.
Karma woke up and sat up not thinking. Everyone watched as she looked at them and fell apart. All of her brother piled onto the bed trying to make sure that they didn't hurt her and held her as best as they could. Shane and Vince watched as tears slid down their faces. One woman almost killed herself so ten guys could live. "Let's leave them alone."
Shine nodded and they left the room and headed down the hall. When they got to the waiting room they saw that Paul was there and so was Michael. "She is awake."
They both nodded to them. Paul looked at Shane and sighed. "Where those nine that ran past here her brothers?"
"Yes." He said to him.
Paul nodded as they settled in front of them. "I can't believe the way you guys treat your assistants I know that I never taught you to act like that."
Shane lowered his head and sighed. It was true. Dad was very good friends with his assistant and even helped her son get into college when the time came. "I'm sorry."
"You should be." Vince growled to him.
None of them said anything for almost an hour when they heard someone walk up to them. Paul looked and saw this little boy that looked to be five looking up at them. "Which one of you hurt my mommy?"
Vince looked down and saw the tears in his eyes. "That man has been taken care of sweetie."
The boy looked up at him and nodded before he turned around and walked away from them. "Casper where in the world did you go?"
"I went to find the man that hurt mommy Trevor." He said as he took the other boys hand.
"Well, mommy wants to hold you right now so come on." Keith said as he looked at the four that were watching him.
