Lita gave birth to Rachel Marie Anderson later that night. The new baby distracted everyone most of the time, but with each passing day, the looming thought of Survivor Series weighed on everyone's mind. John felt a sharp sense of panic every time he thought about all the things that could go wrong. It got worse as each day passed and by the morning of the pay per view, he was having a full on panic attack.

"I can't breathe," he gasped. "Somebody help, I can't breathe."

Christina grabbed her inhaler. "Here. Use this."

He did use it but it didn't help. "I still can't breathe. I'm about to go insane if this knot doesn't leave my chest."

Jackie got up. "Give me one minute." She ran out of the room and came back with a small vial of potion. "It's for anxiety," she explained as she took off the lid. "Think of it as my version of Xanex. Only it's better than Xanex because I made it."

Christina looked skeptical. "I wouldn't drink it if I were you John. It's probably poisonous."

"Why would I give John something poisonous?" Jackie asked. "I actually like John."

John took the potion and drank it on one gulp. It tasted nasty as hell but it started working immediately. "Thanks. I really needed that." He leaned back in the chair he was sitting in. "What are we going to do tonight? Are we just going to sit in the crowd and see if anything happens? Are we going to go backstage? I mean, how are we going to keep an eye on everything and everybody? And what if we miss something? Oh Jesus, somebody is going to get killed and I--"

Jackie cut him off with a kiss. "Are you done being hysterical?" she asked when she finally pulled away.

He grinned. "Will you kiss me again if I say no?"

Christina groaned. "Oh God, I knew you two were dating."

"We are not dating," Jackie denied. She looked back at John. "Unless you want to date. Do you want to date? Can we call it dating? We haven't ever really been on a date. Not unless you count going out and killing demons as a date. Then we've been on hundreds of those."

"Oh and don't forget the night you and the other girls basically raped me in my own bed," John reminded her. "That could be considered a date."

She shook her head. "Nah, it wasn't rape. You would have said no if you didn't want it."

"True."

Christina rolled her eyes. "You two are freaks. I'm not hanging out with you tonight. You're going to be all busy being all over each other."

Jackie suddenly grinned. "I got it! You, me, Chris, Lita and the baby can go backstage and keep an eye on things and the others can be put all through the crowd."

John frowned. "I don't think Lita and Chris are going to want to bring Rachel. I don't even think they're going to want to go."

"Oh they're going. The last time we didn't take Chris we all nearly died because we didn't have his wealth of knowledge to pick at. And Lita hates it when we leave her by herself. She gets all stir crazy."

"Well she could just stay here with the baby," John pointed out. "Bringing Rachel isn't really a smart idea."

Jackie shook her head. "Trust me, the baby will be fine. I gave Lita an early birthday present and put a little protection spell on the poop machine. Little Rachel should be safe for about a year."

"Why a year?" Christina asked. "Why not longer?"

"Hey, I didn't manufacture the spell. I can't control how long it lasts."

John grinned. "I'm sure Lita and Chris appreciated that."

"They did actually. They got all teary eyed and then they started trying to hug me. But they had the baby and she smelled like she had shit herself so I ran away."

John chuckled. Jackie was so funny sometimes.

The rest of the day passed pretty quickly, and soon enough they were on their way to the Apocalypse City Arena. As they were driving, John wondered why the city didn't bother to name it something else. He thought about asking the others but decided against it. They would probably just shrug and say they had no idea who named the thing or why.

When they got to the arena, he, Jackie, Rupes, Chris, Lita and Spike went backstage while the others got themselves into the crowd. Jackie performed what Chris described as a Jedi mind trick on the guard so they could get in without any backstage passes. "This is really weird," Lita commented. She was pushing Rachel in her little stroller. "Does anyone else feel like two completely different worlds are smashing together against their wills?"

Jackie nodded. "There's a reason Apocalypse City usually doesn't host sporting or entertainment events. It always turns into a slaughter."

"Maybe that's why we allowed this to happen here," Rupes said. "Maybe we're not meeting our slaughter quota for the month."

John shuddered. "God, don't talk like that. I can honestly believe that as a reason for why this is happening."

"Cena?"

John looked over and saw Undertaker approaching him. "Hey Taker. You notice anything crazy yet?"

Undertaker nodded. "I saw a demon restaurant on my way over here. I'm not going to lie, the food actually smelled pretty good."

Jackie grinned. "Razor's place strikes again. I love it. I'm Jackie by the way. John's girlfriend and defender of the human race. Can you do that thing where you roll your eyes in the back of your head? And can I have an autograph?"

"Jackie, calm down for two seconds," Rupes scolded. "We're here to protect the wrestlers, not bug them." Then he looked at Undertaker. "Although I wouldn't mind an autograph. I would actually appreciate it more than she would."

"Hey! I would so really appreciate it!"

John rolled his eyes. It was nice to see how easily distracted everyone was. "Come on," he said as he grabbed Jackie's arm. "We have evil things to check for."

So John and Jackie went one way, Rupes and Spike went another and Lita and Chris went yet another way. But they didn't find anything extremely suspicious going on. Things seemed perfectly normal, which meant that the evil hadn't arrived yet.

"John?"

Maybe I thought too soon. John and Jackie soon found themselves face to face with John's ex-girlfriend Mickie James. He suddenly felt very, very awkward. The last time he had seen her, she had been making out with Randy. It hadn't been a pleasant experience to say the least. "Hello Mickie," he said.

Mickie looked shocked to see him. "What are you doing here? I thought you were--"

"I'm just visiting," he said quickly. "I'm not back for good."

"Oh."

Jackie looked between the two exes before looking around behind Mickie. "So where's Orton at? Aren't you supposed to be playing tonsil hockey with him or something?"

John sighed and closed his eyes. Leave it to Jackie to make things even more awkward.

Mickie looked hurt. "Randy and I broke up months ago."

"Did he cheat?" John asked. He couldn't help himself.

She nodded. "With Maryse."

"Wow, that's a shame," Jackie said. "It must suck to be you. I'm Jackie by the way, John's girlfriend and defender of mankind."

"Why are you introducing yourself like that?" John finally asked.

"I don't know. It's fun."

Mickie looked at her like she was insane. "You're his girlfriend?"

"Yup." Jackie put her arms around John. "Don't we look so cute together?"

John watched as Mickie muttered something about a match she had coming up next and took off running. "You're evil, you know that?" he said.

"Nonsense. I am a perfect little angel." They met back up with the others.

"We found nothing," Spike announced. "There's nothing back here."

"But there might be something up front," Chris said. He pointed to the monitor. The match that was just currently starting was Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Melina, Maria and Eve versus Beth Phoenix, Michelle McCool, Maryse, Jillian and Natalya. A portal like the one the demons from Tortooga had come from was starting to open. The divas were freaking and the rest of the gang was trying to get towards the ring.

"Fucking shit!" Jackie cursed. She, John, Rupes and Spike took off running towards the ring. But as they were coming down the ramp, there was a giant flash of blinding white light. When everyone was able to see again, the divas were gone and the ring was overflowing with the Tortooga demons.

Spike started freaking out. "The girls went through the portal. The Crimson King has them. Poor girls."

John shook his head and looked at Rupes. "So will this fulfill the slaughter quota for the month?"

Rupes nodded. "Yeah, this will probably do it."
