Author's Note: Final show before Sacrifice. Don't see much of the girls until Crimson's match and the battle royal respectively. Thanks to coolchic79260 for reviewing.
Disclaimer: I only own Athena, Devon, Colton, and the various other OCs that wonder about. Otherwise TNA has rights to their wrestlers and the wrestlers own themselves
~~~~~~~~~Thursday May12th, 2011 Sawyer Locker Room (Athena's POV)~~~~~~~
After the chaos of last week I was almost glad to not be thrown into another match. I was in a pair of skin tight jeans and a t-shirt. I was actually in sneakers. I tapped my fingers on my leg absently. We were all pretty silent because there wasn't much to be said. None of us were slated for the card. Well I was for a valet but that was about it. Velvet and Colton were just sitting quietly. To be perfectly honest we had Maks with us. His brother was spending time with his dad. I was just curious as to what he was hiding from us. Maks was the spitting image of his dad.
"Athena, are you okay?" Devon asked as she brushed a stray hair from my cheek to behind my ear.
"Yes. Just worried is all." I replied.
"Why?" Velvet asked.
"Tommy is in a three way with Abyss and Joe." I answered. Velvet nodded her head and we went back to watching the show. We watched as it was revealed that Mick was the Network Representative. I was about to leave when Matt strode in.
"Sawyer." He said.
"Which one?" I asked.
"Colton. Did you hear?" He asked.
"Hear what?" Colton asked as he stood up.
"You're in the battle royal." Matt said. I watched as Colton's jaw hit the floor.
"Congrats Colton but I've got to go. I'm late." I said was I walked out of the door. I figured I'd meet Tommy would meet me at Gorilla. I was right. I smiled at him.
"Sorry, got sidetracked. Turns out Colton is in that battle royal." I said as I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed him.
"Let's show them." I said as I hooked an arm around his waist.
"And from Brooklyn, New York being accompanied by Athena Sawyer Crimson." Christy said. It was different to do this. I wasn't usual a valet. I stood in the ring with him but I was staying far away from Abyss. I watched as Joe came out. Before he hit the ring I looked at Tommy.
"Good luck." I said as I got out of the ring and went to stand on the floor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tommy's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abyss came after me first and he even backed me into a corner. Joe got a couple shots in. While Joe was paying attention to Abyss I tried to go for a Rear naked choke but Joe got me. I got back up and ended knocking Joe out toward the corner with a kick and then I went back at it with Abyss. I could hear Athena trying her best. I got Abyss down and then Joe and I started to trade shots. It went okay until he got me with a snap slam. Abyss nails Joe with a black hole slam and I give Abyss the spear. I cover Joe and pick up the win. Athena got carefully into the ring. She was very wary. She was about to hug me but she ducked away. Then I got blindsided by Abyss. Joe left again and Abyss went back to attacking me. Athena was hopefully out of the ring. I wasn't sure where she was anymore.
I ended up getting the Black Hole Slam myself. Athena was standing on the ground. She was terrified.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Devon's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Jamie you want to go with us? I'm sure I can find someone to watch Maks." I said. Jamie nodded her head.
"Yeah, who were you thinking?" Jamie asked.
"Shelley and Brooke Gregory not Adams." I answered.
"You sure they won't mind?" Colton asked.
"I'll do it. I'm sure Brooke won't mind. I'm going to go do that. I'll meet you out there." I said as I picked up Maks. If all else failed I'd take him out there with me. I walked toward Shelley's locker room and knocked. Brooke opened the door with a smile.
"Wait let me guess. Devon Sawyer right?" She asked. I nodded my head.
"Who is this little cutie?" She asked.
"My nephew Maks. I was wondering if you would mind watching him?" I asked.
"Your brother in the battle royal?" She asked.
"Yeah and my boyfriend but details." I replied. She smiled.
"I won't mind. Just watch yourself." She said.
"Thank you. I owe you." I said as I handed her Maks and hurried toward the ring. I was about to walk out with Matt touched the small of my back. I turned toward him.
"Care to accompany me?" He asked.
"Sure." I answered as we walked out. I nodded to Velvet as I stopped next to her. I saw Brooke Adams.
"Who did she come out with?" I asked.
"She came out with Jesse." Velvet answered. My eyes widened and I raised an eyebrow. That disappeared as more people came out. We were joined in our little spot by Mikaela, Selena, Celeste, and Brianna from Fortune. I nodded to them and we watched the battle royal. Colton and Jesse were doing well. Heck Matt had two eliminations under his belt always with the two British guys. Make that three with Jordan. Um no that's five with Anarquia. I was going to stop counting right about now. I watched as Colton and Jesse worked as a team. At least for a little while.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Velvet's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Things had been somewhat tense. Then again why wouldn't it. Though I figured the girls had done well to handle the situation with Chloe. I was cheering for Colton to win but I wasn't entirely sure how good he could do this. I wasn't even sure how things would go. I was hoping that everything would be okay come Sacrifice. Athena had another match to be a valet for. I wasn't sure about Devon right now. We were watching Eric and I raised an eyebrow. Gunner was hot on his trail though. Colton was doing fine until Jesse ducked a clothesline from Morgan and got eliminated. My eyes widened.
Oh that wasn't good. Colton walked over and looked at his sister. Before she could say anything he shrugged it off.
"It's fine. He wasn't going for me. Where is Maks?" He asked.
"With Brooke Gregory." Devon answered.
"Come on Jamie. We'll be cheering for Matt in the back." Colton said as he took my hand and leads me to the back. I was still shocked at how easy this was going for him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Matt's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had been a good match until I accidently knocked out Colton. I had expected him to throw a fit but he didn't. I was shocked at that. I was doing well to keep myself in. I took out Hernandez only for Scott Steiner to get me out. I pulled him out and Bully Ray took advantage. I then started going after Steiner. I even bounced his head off of the stand of the announce table. I didn't know if Devon was following me but I wasn't concerned about that. We continued like that to the back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Devon's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was still in shock. I was about to go after them but Athena came over to me.
"Sis, we've got to have a talk. Nothing is wrong but Colton wants to talk to us about something." Athena said.
"Anastasia I'm amazed you aren't with Tommy." I said with a smile as I followed her to the back. Athena laughed.
"I'm not that predictable am I?" Athena asked. I shook my head and we walked toward the locker room. We walked in and Colton stood up.
"I have one thing to say. Do you know if Jesse is with Adams?" He asked.
"No, I can't say we do." Athena said.
"Besides is it really any of our business?" Jamie asked.
"No, not really. I'm just curious because of the boys." Colton replied. I nodded my head.
"Right, I'm sure Jesse will make the right choice." I said.
"I know. So how is everybody doing?" Colton asked.
"Matt is off somewhere beating the crap out of Scott." I replied with a shrug.
"Tommy's doing okay." Athena said.
"Should we be worried?" Colton asked.
"No, we'll do everything level headed." Jamie said. I nodded my head in agreement.
"We'll let you know if something dramatic happens." Athena said with a smile. Colton sighed and we all settled down to watch the rest of the battle royal.
"You have a match on Sunday?" Jamie asked.
"No. Just Athena." I replied. Jamie nodded her head and we watched as Anderson ended up with the victory.
"Can he finally stop demanding a title shot?" Colton asked with a smile.
"Yes." Athena said. I chuckled.
"Let's just keep our head above water on Sunday." I said.
"Sounds like a plan." Athena said as she stood up and stretched. It was time to go. I knew I'd get in touch with Matt later and I figured Athena would do the same only with Tommy.
