"Blah" speech'blah' thoughts
The next day, after a shower and breakfast, Leon was at the airport catching a flight to Buffalo, New York, where the next show was at. As he was walking to the plane, he saw one of ECWs newest divas, Rebecca, trying to get a man to stop harassing her.
Rebecca went to slap the man, but he caught her arm and yanked her to him. "Now, now. You don't want to be doing that do you?" The man said. 'Why do I almost always end up playing hero?' Leon thought.
Leon walked up to the pair and asked "Is something wrong here?"
The man turned and looked at Leon and replied "Nope, we're just fine here."
"Well, she doesn't look fine to me. Maybe you should let her go."
"And if I don't?"
"I'll give it to you this way, you don't want to know" Leon said with a dangerous glint in his eye. "Now you'd better let her go."
"Fine." The man spat and left. Leon turned to walk away, when Rebecca call out to him. "Hey! Wait up!"
"You need something?" He asked coolly.
"I just wanted to thank you. There are some pretty creepy guys in airports." She started "Hey, I recognize you! You're the new guy that took on Rene Dupree last night! That was a pretty good match."
"Really? I think I could have done better, like say, bloody him up a bit before pinning." He replied.
"Oh that wouldn't be very nice."
"I'm not here for nice; I'm here for the challenge."
She made a face and said "Jeez, is every guy here for the challenge? 'Cuz all of the ones I've met so far are. And some of them are colossal jerks." Leon had one certain extremist in mind as she said this. "So," She continued "What flight are you taking?" He told her and she said "I'm taking the same flight!" 'I kind of figured that on my own since we're at the same terminal..' "Maybe we could sit together?"
"Yeah, I guess." Leon said slowly.
"Cool! You can tell me about yourself!
'Wow, this chick is really hyperactive!' "Yeah, ok, sure. Why not? I don't have any friends here yet."
So they talked until they were allowed to get on the plane, and after they were on, he told her his history.
"So, where do you want me to start?" He asked.
"Anywhere you want."
"Ok, I was born in Manhattan, and when I was two, my parents left me at my aunt's house and never came back. My aunt never really liked me, so she dropped me off at an orphanage where I lived until I was 7. Then I ran away. I made it to Brooklyn, and I couldn't go anymore. What money I stole was gone. I was alone, cold, and hungry. After a day or two, I came across a run-down building that looked like a nice place to stay, so I went in. It turned out that the local gang lived there, and I had just entered their turf."
"You were just 7?! Aww, you poor thing!" Rebecca said.
"Anyway, I got into the building only to come face to face with the entire gang that lived there. As you can imagine, for a 7 year old, I was terrified of the older guys that had all sorts of weapons. Anyway, so the leader came out and asked me my name, how old I was and where I had come from. I said my name was Leon Karr, I was 7, and I had run away from the orphanage. After that he asked me if I wanted to stay with them, so I did. Over the next 8 years I had learned my place. I was the main thief and information gatherer because of my speed. I learned to fight, to steal, to get out of danger as fast as possible."
"When I was 15, I left them and found a job working in a bookstore. Yeah, yeah, I know. How could I ever work in a bookstore? I was completely out of place. But after a while I found some martial arts books and become very interested. And once I had enough money, I found a dojo and became a student. I stayed there and helped take care of the building. I would do the cleaning, mopping, and that kind of stuff. Finally I had my own room above the dojo. I had a place to call home."
He looked over to see that Rebecca had fallen asleep. He smiled. 'Maybe being on ECW won't be so bad after all.' After reading one of his books, he felt too tired, so he set his watch to go off 30 minutes before the plane landed and went to sleep. An hour and a half later, his alarm went off and he woke up to a weight on his shoulder. Looking over he saw that Rebecca had her head on his shoulder and his arm was asleep. He thought it best to let her sleep a little longer as he read some more. When the stewardess announced that the plane would land in 5, he woke Rebecca up.
"Wha-? Oh! I'm sorry Leon, I didn't mean to fall asleep on you like that-"She began, but he cut her off.
"Its ok, there is no long term damage so it's alright." He chuckled.
10 minutes later they were off the plane and called for a taxi to the hotel. On the way Leon filled Rebecca in on what she missed of his story. When they got to the hotel, Rebecca asked "So, do you think we could hang out tomorrow or something?"
"Yeah, I don't see why not." He replied.
"Cool, then I'll see you tomorrow!" And she headed off to her room.
'Sometimes women scare me. Especially Rebecca, you never know what she is gonna do.' Leon thought as he headed off to his room to unpack then hit the gym.
