The Miscellaneous Adventures of a Rebel Girl

A Raw Trip

(3rd Person POV)

Memphis, Tennessee

January 2, 2012

"BROSKETTE!" Zack screamed as Jo walked into the locker room excited to see the dark haired teen. It had been yet another busy week for the WWE Superstars and things had gotten hectic for everyone. Punk had decided it would be best if Jo just stayed in Chicago with him and Cabana for another week.

"Zack… can't… breath…" Jo choked out as the famous Long Island Iced Z! had a total death grip of a hug on the young woman. Instantly, Zack backed off allowing Jo to catch her breath.

"You didn't give Punk much trouble did you?" asked Daniel as he walked through the door. Jo shook her head at the World Heavyweight Champion. "Good, because from what I heard last week you hit Colt with a frying pan, I was hoping that wouldn't happen again."

"Broskette," Zack said while making a tsk, tsk noise shook his head in disbelief. Jo smacked Ryder upside the head for being stubborn and flung herself onto the couch in the three superstar's shared locker room. Zack for some odd reason felt the need to come up beside her and join her. Punk and Bryan soon joined him seeing as they were already prepared for their matches that evening. Jo gave them all an annoyed look as she eyed each wrestler with suspicion in her eyes.

"Jo," Punk started sitting down in the chair next to the couch, "we decided that you're going to tell people you're my niece visiting me for some time while your parents are out of the country, that sound good to you?"

Jo nodded her head. The less the other wrestlers knew about her the better. It would be easier for her to just blend in with the crowd. Judging from the three sitting in front of her the crowd around here was definitely going to be interesting.

"So broskette, what do you say about you and I head to catering?" Zack asked as Jo nodded her head as her and Zack stood up to leave. "I'll take the first shift watching her."

"After my match I'll switch with you so you can get ready for your tag team match with Show and Cena," Daniel stated. Punk, however was oddly quiet while the two wrestlers formulated a plan for the teenager. He was already in the zone for his championship defense against Ziggler.

"Guys, I don't need a babysitter, I'll be fine without one." Jo said while rolling her eyes. Punk looked up the girl and shook his head.

"Around here Jo, you can never be safe. That's why you need to stick close to at least one of us at all times is that understood?" Punk said in his fatherly tone as Jo once again nodded her head.

"Alright, we'll see you guys later, come on broskette I'm craving some mac n' cheese!" Zack shouted as he and Jo exited the room and walked down the hallway, but before going she wished both Daniel and Punk good luck in their matches even giving Punk a quick kiss on the cheek.

As Jo and Zack walked down the hallway the two meandered through many superstars, Zack introducing those that he felt necessary that she should know such as Sheamus, Ted Dibiase Jr., Evan Bourne, and Kofi Kingston. By the time that they had got to catering it seemed like the show was starting.

Zack grabbed a Gatorade while Jo grabbed some mac n' cheese to taunt him with. The two took a seat at a nearby table with Zack recalling his first win of the United Championship.

"So there I was, ready to pin Ziggler for my United States Championship when-" Zack deadpanned as his eyes grew and he got a puppy dog childlike look on his face.

"Zack, you who, anyone home?" called Jo waving a hand in front of his face with a shrug she followed Zack's line of vision to where he was staring. A petite Latino girl stood in the entrance of catering, her hair had many waves in it. Her skin was a light caramel color. She glanced around the room and instantly caught Zack staring at her, but then she caught sight of Jo.

Within a matter of moments the woman was crossing the room and Zack remained in his stationery state with the drool coming down the side of his mouth.

"Hi, so are you the new girl everyone is talking about?" questioned the Latino.

"Yep, Joanna Davis, CM Punk's niece," Jo answered extending her hand, "But everyone calls me Jo for short."

"While it's a pleasure to meet you Jo, I'm Eve, Eve Torres," she said with a smile.

"It's nice to meet you Eve, you have to excuse Zack here I don't know what's wrong with him." Jo explained as Eve nodded uncomfortably. Something was up with these two, but Jo couldn't figure it out. It was like a bad romantic comedy movie.

"While I figured I'd introduce myself and make sure the boys don't drive you crazy, if you need anything and I literally mean anything, don't hesitate to come to the diva locker room." Eve said, "I have to go, but ummm… if Zack comes out of whatever he is in tell him I said hi and good luck for his match."

"Alright," Jo answered and Eve disappeared off somewhere else. Jo turned back to Zack, who was still in a state of shock. Hmm… I think Zack needs a wakeup call, Jo thought as she took and threw her glass of water at the wrestler.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS BRO?" Zack screamed as the cold water hit him in the face. Ryder eyed Jo annoyed as she shrugged at him innocently. Jo returned to her spot and propped one elbow on the table with her hand holding up her chin.

"So what was all that?" she motioned as she moved the other hand up in down in the direction Eve had exited.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Zack answered annoyed. Jo stared at the wrestler in frustration.

"Yea sure, you might want to whip the drool off the side of your mouth, Romeo." Jo commented sarcastically. Zack blushed a deep crimson as Jo knew she had caught him in a trap. She handed Zack a napkin as he wiped the drool off his face.

"I like Eve, like a lot, and it's just so awkward between us I don't know what to do, I mean we teamed together last week in a match and the chemistry was there then, but when I'm outside the ring I look like an idiot and a half." Zack muttered rubbing his temples with his index and middle fingers.

"While you know what I think?" Jo asked as Zack rolled his eyes at the teen.

"Sure why not? I'm sure you teenage girls have a lot of romantic relationship advice that will help bros like me in the long run." Zack bit back harshly. Jo glared annoyed and crossed her arms.

"Fine, if you don't want my help with Eve you can just go back to flirting with that Justin Bieber cutout." Jo sneered. Zack glowered at her and after about five seconds gave in.

"Okay, fine. Jo will you please help me win over Eve?" asked Zack. Jo smirked at him, instantly he caught the gleam in her eye and knew that he was going to have to do something he regretted.

"Down on both knees and beg me to help you," Jo said as Zack moaned, "Do it or I won't help you."

Several minutes passed before Zack pulled himself out of the chair and got down on the floor on both knees groveling for Joanna.

"Please, please, please, will you help me with Eve, please," Zack begged. Jo smirked, she had definitely been around Punk for far too long.

"Alright, I guess since you're so desperate," Jo answered.

"Oh thank you broskette! You are not going to regret this!" Zack exclaimed pulling her into another air tight hug on that same evening.

"Zack… I… can't… help… you… if… I… can't… breath…" Jo gasped out, but still continued to hug her. "Bro, what is with you and hugs?"

Ryder and Jo eventually wound up back in the locker room as Zack got ready for his match. Daniel had finished his in record time and was now watching the rest of the show with Jo. The two had a relatively normal conversation until Punk lost in his championship match against Ziggler. Knowing Punk's rage for the lose Bryan shoved Jo out there door telling her to go and see if Evan Bourne had his ipod from the previous week.

Jo wandered the halls getting very confused to where she was going. She turned left then right then another two lefts. This place was like a giant maze and plus there were no signs as to where she needed to go. Where she wound up was definetly not the place she wanted to go.

"I don't care, I want the WWE Championship, Vickie! Do you hear me!" A blonde that Jo recognized instantly as Dolph Ziggler screamed into a phone. "I don't care if Laurnitis wants it for himself, I want it and I plan on getting it! Now you're my manager and get me what I want or you're fired, got that?"

With that he slammed the phone shut and turned the corner to where Jo was standing. Jo tried to run, but being the klutz that she was tripped over something and fell onto the ground instantly making a loud crash heard as well.

"Well look what we got here, a little spy," said Dolph as he caught sight of Jo, who was laying on the floor in a heap of cleaning supplies. Instantly, recognition dawned on Ziggler's face as to who the young woman was. "Your Punk's niece aren't you?"

Jo shook her head instantly afraid of the badly done blonde dye job wrestler.

"Now didn't your parents teach it's not good manners to lie to your elders?" questioned Dolph as Jo backed up against a corner freaking out. "Now we don't want you running and telling your Uncle Punk what I said now do you so…"

Before Ziggler could finish that statement Jo saw a shadow tackle Ziggler to the ground knocking him unconscious, a hand was extended to her as it pulled her off the ground.

"You alright miss?" asked the man who saved her. As Jo looked up to find a short blonde haired man staring at her wearing a light up jacket and blue jeans. Underneath the jacket there was no shirt. Jo's eyes bugged out while staring at the six pack of abs.

"What on earth are you supposed to be? A human Light Bright?" blurted out Jo instantly covering her mouth the second she realized she had said that aloud. The blonde chuckled at her.

"Well yea I'm glad you're okay too," the blonde muttered ignoring the completely off key comment from the teenager. Jo blushed even though he probably couldn't see it and dropped her gaze to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm okay, you got here in the nick of time." Jo answered the man. He walked beside her and patted her on the shoulder with ease.

"It's alright, Ziggles here didn't even know what hit him," answered the man with a chuckle as Jo joined him, "So what is a young woman your age doing all the way back here anyway? Shouldn't you be with your boyfriend watching the show?"

Jo scoffed and rolled her eyes at the man for being so judgmental at her.

"For your information, Light Bright, I'm CM Punk's niece and I'll be traveling with him for the next couple weeks." Jo answered as the man stopped dead in his tracks turning to look at her.

"You seriously did not just call me Light Bright again did you?" he questioned as she nodded her head at the man smirking. "You called the Sexy Beast, the Allyatoya of Rock N' Rolla, the first Undisputed Champion of the WWE, Light Bright, seriously?"

Jo burst out laughing at the multiple nicknames the man had just listed and clutched her side trying to catch her breath.

"Am I supposed to know who you are now because I really don't know, Light Bright," Jo answered as the blonde continued to lead the way back to the front of the building where the locker rooms were.

"If it helps I'm Canadian," he hinted as realization hit Jo's face.

"No way!" Jo cried out, the blonde instantly perked up finally happy that she had finally got it, "You're that Christian guy, right?"

The man face palmed as he sighed heavily.

"I'm gone for two years and people don't remember me, great just great," the man muttered.

"You know I'm only playing you Jericho, right?" Jo laughed as Chris spun on his heel looking at the black haired girl with surprise and annoyance.

"You knew? The entire time you knew who I was?" Jericho practically shouted. Jo giggled as she shook her head at the veteran wrestler.

"Punk told me about your return, figures the guy can't keep a secret." Jo said with a shrug as they finally made it to the front where the locker rooms were.

"Figures," muttered Jericho, "So what's your name kid?"

"While I'm the female version of CM Punk or broskette whatever you want to call me," Jo said causing Chris to raise an eyebrow at her in confusion.

"JOANNA!" a voice yelled as Punk's arm shot around the young woman, "Daniel and I have been searching this place up and down for you where did you wander off to?"

Jericho and Jo exchanged a look before either of the two spoke.

"I had to grab something from catering and ran into Jericho and we just got talking that's all Uncle Punk," Jo explained as Jericho nodded defending the girl's cover story.

"Yea, she has some really interesting insight into the WWE Universe," Jericho then was beckoned by a stage tech as he looked at Punk and Jo. "While I have to go, you know big return and what not."

Punk rolled his eyes as Jo nodded at the wrestler. Punk headed back inside and Jo stood with Jericho a minute longer.

"Hey, thanks for the save again Light Bright," Jo said with a wave and then shut the door before Chris could even yell at her.

"Woo! Come on Zack hand it to him!" Joanna cheered as Zack hit a Rough Ryder on Jack Swagger picking up the pin for him, Cena, and Big Show in the main event. Jo noticed that Zack was limping near the very end of the match, but just as Cena and Ryder were about to celebrate a hand emerged from the corner of the ring grabbing Zack's leg.

Instantly, the camera man got a close up Kane grabbing Zack as he squirmed around. Flames were rising up out of the ring and Cena was somewhat unconscious not knowing enough to help his friend. Zack could have easily taken the monster, but with the injured leg he couldn't get away without help.

Without a second thought, Jo ran out the door ignoring the pleas of Daniel and Punk, who had tried to stop her. Knowing what little she did about the stage setup she headed to where she and Zack had met Daniel after his match. She heard the shouts of several crew members, but she ignored them sprinting down to the ring.

Cena was still a bit out of it as Jo slid into the ring, slapping him hard across the face bringing the man back into reality. Jo quickly sprinted over to Zack grabbing his hands trying to pull him out of the fiery pit of doom.

"Let him go!" she yelled at the monster, but he just laughed evilly at her.

"Little girls do not belong in the ring with me, you just might need to embrace the hate as well," Kane answered her as Cena and Jo dragged Zack away, but Kane wound up grabbing Jo's leg as a replacement.

Jo didn't know what to do. She squirmed and squealed screaming bloody murder at the top of her lungs. She saw the scariness in Kane's eyes and the hatred, the pure intense hatred. Just like her father's the day he had kicked her out. Jo froze in terror.

"Take that you son of a gun," said Ryder hitting Kane's hand with his good leg and smashing it causing his grasp on Jo to be let go as Zack and John pulled her to the opposite side of the ring. Cena and Ryder collapsed on both sides of Jo out of breath and exhausted from the fight.

Jo, though was still terrified. Her new family and had almost been taken from her to let their hate ruin them. Tears ran from her eyes as she cried into Zack's shoulder as he cradled her in his arms letting her cry it out. Cena watched on as the fire on the other side of the ring burned intensely.

All three of had gotten lucky this time, very lucky indeed.

"She asleep?" questioned Punk as Bryan shut the patio door between the hotel suite and the balcony. Punk had gone outside after lecturing Joanna how she should have not gone out the ring. Zack and Cena could have handled themselves. It was way too dangerous what she had done.

"Yea, Zack finally got her to calm down. I think something happened down there, Punk. It triggered something from her past or something." Daniel thought aloud. Punk nodded in agreement. "You don't think Kane did anything to either of them do you?"

"Other than mess with Jo's psyche I don't think so, nothing of physical harm. He just wanted to get to Cena, and that was almost done through Zack." Punk explained as he looked into the suite where Jo lay fast asleep on Zack's arm as he sat there watching television.

"I've never seen him take to anyone like he has to Jo," Daniel said crossing his arms and leaning against the patio railing.

"Maybe he's growing up, I haven't heard him talk about partying in the last week. And he saved Jo tonight, it's like he's maturing or something?" Punk said with a chuckle. The two of them turned back to the Tennessee sky. "Do you think she's going to tell us her story?"

"We can only hope," Daniel reasoned but before he could continue a scream broke the peacefulness recognizing it as Jo's the two men rushed into the room finding Zack had already taken care of it.

"Shhh… it's okay we're alright here Joanna, Kane didn't get any of us, shhh, it's okay," Zack said as Jo wiped at the tears that were coming down her face. After about twenty minutes of reassurance Jo fell back asleep.

"Nightmares?" questioned Daniel as Zack nodded in response.

"Kane really got to her tonight and me almost getting dragged into that pit must have triggered something." Ryder answered as he kept Jo cradled in his arms. "I'm pretty sure she's probably going to have some more."

The three men looked at the teenager as she lay there in peaceful slumber for the moment. An angelic look on her face and of pure innocence, but there was something dark hidden in her that had broken and destroyed her over the years, it seemed that it was now their job to figure it out and fix it.

"Zack, you have Smackdown tomorrow why don't you let me take over from here?" Punk asked as he motioned to Joanna. Zack looked down at the teenager and instantly shook his head at the older man.

"No offense or anything, Punk, but I think I should stay here. I was the one in that ring tonight, not you. I think it would be better if I assured her it's okay and know that I'm here." Zack reasoned with the WWE Champion. Punk nodded in response as he beckoned for Daniel, who looked like he just had a light bulb explode over his head.

"Zack, why don't you take Jo back to Long Island this week?" Daniel asked as Punk's jaw dropped onto the floor. Zack looked at Bryan and nodded in reassurance that he would do it.

Punk glared angrily before seeing what Daniel had in mind. Jo trusted Zack; maybe she would open up to him as well as keep the nightmares at a limit over the next week.

"Fine," sighed Punk as he shot a glare at Zack, "If I hear you took her to a party or did anything of the sort, I'm going to kick your Long Island butt all the way to Antarctica, got it?"

"Yea, bro I got it." Zack answered as he brushed Jo's bangs out of her face. Shortly after finishing up the flight arrangements for the next day Punk and Daniel bid Zack good night. He saw Jo toss and turn on the bed and then just as he predicted the scream came out.

"Shhh… Jo I'm right here, nothing is going to hurt you while I'm here, shhh…" he wiped the tears away from her eyes as her breathing evened back out.

"Zack," Jo whispered.

"Yea, broskette," Zack answered looking down at the girl in his arms.

"Thank you for saving me tonight, if you hadn't I don't want to know what would have happened." Jo shuddered as Zack pulled into a hug. Zack could see the tears streaking down her face even in the darkness.

"It was nothing, remember you saved me first, right?" Zack asked as she nodded. "And saving you from things that go bump in the night are what big brothers are for right?"

Jo looked at the United States Champion as a small smile played across her lips.

"I've never had a big brother before," she answered quietly.

"While now you do and I promise I won't let anything hurt you, ever."

"Promise?" Jo asked sticking out her pinky as Zack grabbed it and wrapped it around his pinky.

"Promise," Zack responded, "Now get some sleep, after Zackdown tomorrow you're coming to the LI with me and teaching me how to Woo, Woo, Woo Eve."

"Alright," Jo yawned and in a blink of eye she was out like a light yet again. Zack watched as the girl slept, she was something else that was for sure. Maybe she was the little sister he had always wanted, but never got when he was younger. Zack held her in his arms.

"I will never let anyone hurt you, I swear it."
