Enter the Shadow….

Time Line: Alt universe WCW as it deals with but does not follow some of the event around the NWO "Sting" & the Appearance of the Crow Sting.

Disclaimer: I own nothing that is or was the real WCW.

Summary: Takes place around the time a fake sting attacks Luger, making people believe that not only had The Stinger turned against the WCW, but also his best friend. While Sting is gone planning his next action, a new vindicator appears. Who is this new force? What trouble shall they cause…?

Rating: PG-13 to play it safe for ring or behind the scene violence & language.

In two weeks it was going to be the real show time. The last week whenever NWO tried to break the rules, The Shadow was right there to stop them. Lights got out plunging arenas in to darkness, only to have them come back & The Shadow somewhere near by, or in the ring itself. …They wanted to play games they wanted a show. Once The Shadow was nearly jumped by all four main members. They wanted action? She could give it to them…or shall we say The Shadow could. She was in her room meditating when the phone rang. This broke the trance she was in. She opened her eyes, the flame of the candle she was focusing on had dimmed back down to just a flicker. Standing she walked over picking up the phone.

"Jade here."

"How's my Baby girl?"

"Oh, Hi pop, I'm doing good. What's up?"

"You have a letter here from a record company."

"Ok since you're not going into details, I take it you didn't open it. Please do & tell me what it says inside." She hears the paper being torn.

"Basically, you have permission to use the selection of music you have requested. There is also a Tape here marked with the music."

"Cool Pop. I'll send a messenger to pick it up, unless you think maybe you want to drive up to New York & see the show." Her heart sank to her stomach when she said that maybe it wouldn't be good for him to be there.

"Ok Baby girl." Too late.

"Ok Pop I will Have a ticket & pass at will call for you…I would invite mom too, but I know she is even less into it then you are. Tell you what I am really sorry but I should get going. If you can get to the arena about an hour early. I may need that music for tonight. So come round to the back, I'll leave your name with security."

"Ok Baby girl. Bye."

Hanging up the phone she shakes her head, looking at the candle she clenched her hand & the flame was snuffed out. Good thing her father called her in the morning as she knew it would take almost three hours for her father to even get into New York. Hmm…Grabbing the phone she dialed home. Her Mother picked up.

"Ello Mom…Pop still there?" She could hear her mom cover the phone as she yelled.

"Hey Baby girl you forget something?"

"Are you going to work today?"

"Why, what's up?"

"Well if you want head out now & you can ride into the arena with me. We are at the Radisson around the corner from the train station. I am in room 302."

"Ok Baby girl sounds like a plan. Bye again."

"Bye pop." Shaking her head as she hung up the phone…Part of her was worried the other part hoped he would understand. She walked to the bathroom splashing some water in her face. Looking at her reflection she could see the faint dark glow to her eyes. She closed her eyes mentally hushing herself. Taking a deep breath she reopened her eyes. Just then there was a knock at the door. She leaned out of the bathroom to peek out the door.

"Oh Lex…Come on in I'll be out in a minute." Luger walked in taking a seat by the window as Rose closed the door most of the way. After being around him so much she began to understand why he & Steven were so close.

"Jade your mystery man show up yet?"

"Don't worry he will be at the arena tonight. Speaking of which I just got confirmation for The Shadow's ring music. I have someone bringing it here before we go to the arena. Oh, we have someone else riding with us tonight."

"And who is that, or is it also a surprise."

"My father, he is the one bringing the music up for me as it was delivered to their home." Lex was absently looking over the things on the table he was near, namely the candle that was still faintly smoking. He then looked back towards the bathroom.

"That's cool, with how quiet you are about your real life…some guy joke if you even have a family."

"Well you know how it is. Some don't talk about their kids or spouses to protect them from the media…in my case it is my parents. I know I am not in the media lights yet, but might as well start now." She poked her head out. "Of course since he is coming here I can't really go out with you & the others today."

"Ok I understand…in that case I should head out as they are waiting for me."

"Ok see ya at the arena tonight."

"Ok bye." Headed for the door he kissed her cheek before heading out.
