Summary: A freak change in weather and a flu epidemic takes the WWE by storm and the source of it is a lot closer to ATM than expected.
Ten - Turbulence
Randy Orton watched as his comrades in Christ talked behind him wondering what they were talking about. Trish and Melina had come out of the bathroom with Lita and had spoken to her for hours about whatever it was that made her face look like that; her eyes were red and her face was wet with tears. Her chin was quivering and her overall countenance was distressed. Of course he couldn't hear a thing but he could tell something was very wrong. Nitro and Carlito were asking questions while AJ and Shelton wrestled around in the front and Shawn, Hunter, Rebecca and the Kliq relegated themselves to the back at Trish Stratus' request; whatever it was that had gotten Lita so upset must have had something to do with them.
Although he didn't understand the gist of what was being said he could clearly see the words "Shawn," "love" and "it's not possible" being mouthed by Melina over and over again; she really wasn't getting what Trish was telling her and neither was Nitro who just stared at Trish like she was losing her mind. Apparently Trish was because she kept on clutching at her blond locks in frustration intermittently as she spoke, putting her face in her hands occasionally and taking Lita's hand and telling her to calm down. Hunter came over and asked Lita what was up and she got up and threw her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear something that made The Game's face go from curious to furious. Trish suddenly jumped up and told The Game to ignore Lita and just go back to his seat and not to say anything to Shawn or Rebecca. Randy frowned as Hunter stormed back over to the Kliq and dragged Shawn out by his t-shirt and held him up yelling something about "I knew it! I told you this would happen!" it looked like. Shawn was baffled and Lita ran back into the bathroom and locked the door behind her. Rebecca came out and pulled Hunter off of her husband and kicked him in the nuts. He went down fast and Shawn pointed towards Aurora indicating for his wife to go and sit next to her.
Randy turned away and sat back down in his seat and tried to put the pieces together for himself. Lita was upset because of "Shawn", Melina was in denial because of "love" and Hunter was frustrated because . . . Shawn loves Lita? He thought over his logic; he recalled the time back at Shawn's house when Lita and HBK were talking and noticed how easily he calmed her down, they definitely had something special going on but love? No way! Randy scratched his head, so what was it then? He couldn't figure it out so he got up and went over to talk to Shawn but he wasn't in his seat he was at the back with the Kliq which meant he couldn't be disturbed. Randy sighed in frustration when he heard a small soft voice tell him to look in the magazine pocket in front of Shawn's seat.
"God?" Randy asked looking up but he wasn't sure what he was expecting to see in the luggage compartment. Aurora was sleeping in her carrier peacefully so he tried not to disturb her as he reached into the narrow gap under the dinner tray and pulled out a photograph or more accurately a Polaroid of Shawn and Lita and they looked like they were sharing something very special with each other. Randy narrowed his eyes in thought: this looks like Shawn's kitchen, what are they talking about? Suddenly the soft small voice spoke again telling him to brush his hand across the photo. Randy obeyed and brushed his hand over the picture and it changed; now it was a photo of Shawn kissing Lita! Randy couldn't believe it, how did I just do that? he thought. Both his jaw and the picture dropped; now he understood what ATM were talking about: Shawn was in love with Lita and he had the photograph to prove it.
"No way!" he said in shock and Aurora started to stir, "Oops, my bad!" he said and rocked her gently back to sleep. He looked at the picture again, how did I do that? He thought. When the time is right, you'll understand everything, for now trust in the Lord said the soft small voice and Randy listened carefully, he was pretty sure it was the Holy Spirit talking to him. He stared at the picture amazed at what he was seeing. It was definitely Lita and Shawn he was looking at, as he looked closer he noticed a few interesting details which on closer inspection were quite alarming. Lita was lying on her back with her hands over her chest and her eyes closed and Shawn was lent over her kissing her and wearing a black suit. They appeared to be in some sort of room with an American flag hanging in the top left hand corner. There were also pictures of soldiers on the wall and flowers all around Lita's . . . coffin?
"What the Hell?" Randy yelled and Aurora stirred again and this time she started to cry.
"No shush!" Randy said trying to rock her to sleep again but not quick enough to stop the hard slap from Hunter; luckily he didn't feel a thing. Hunter pulled him up and marched him back to his seat and made some sort of threat about throwing him out of the plane but Orton was too stunned to pay any attention. He looked at the picture again and this time put it in the correct context. Shawn was at Lita's funeral; Lita was dead and Shawn was kissing her goodbye, but the flag and the flowers signified that this wasn't a normal funeral, it was a military funeral. Why would Lita be having a military funeral? Orton started to panic and waved the picture frantically at Trish Stratus who snatched it from him and said "You're not helping Randy!" before throwing it back at him angrily. He took the picture from up off the floor and looked at it again: it had gone back to the original photo of Shawn and Lita talking, the funeral kiss had disappeared.
Randy looked up to the sky again and the soft small voice said When the time is right, you shall understand but for now have faith in the Lord. But when is the right time? Randy thought, my baptism? Yes that's why I can't understand what I'm seeing I need to be baptized first. He decided that as soon as they got to Florida he was gonna do it, with Shawn or without him. He put the picture in his shirt pocket and tried to get some sleep as they flew over Georgia. An hour later he was still wide awake.
Shawn yawned as the plane drew closer to Orlando, Florida leaning on his wife's shoulder as she slept beside him. It wasn't quite landing time but he couldn't sleep as soundly as Aurora who was resting in his wife's arms. He wondered why she wasn't with her father and looked behind him to see Hunter staring into space with something weighing heavily on his mind, he was so caught up in his own thoughts he didn't even see Shawn staring down at him. The seat next to him was empty as Lita never came back over after she ran away to the bathroom and probably was asleep with Trish and Melina so Shawn jumped over his seat and sat next to Hunter in her place.
"You okay big guy?" he asked him waiting for a response which came at a ten second delay.
"Huh?" Hunter said out of it, "Yeah I'm fine, I couldn't sleep,"
"What were you thinking about so hard? Not how hard my wife can kick I hope," Shawn asked him humorously and Hunter's face suddenly went hard, "Hunter are you okay?" he asked concerned.
"I don't wanna talk about it," he said and got up and walked to the back with Kevin, Scotty and Sean. When Shawn came after him he abruptly closed the curtain in Shawn's face and HBK stood there looking at the blue linen in shock. Man this paranoia over him and Lita was really getting to Hunter he thought and went back to his seat. He looked over at Becky, as much as he wanted to wake her he couldn't not with Aurora sleeping so soundly but he needed to talk to someone. He looked down the isle to where his Kliq candidates were sleeping and decided to join them. As he walked down the isle he saw Lita coming out of the bathroom with Trish and Melina behind her, they'd been in there the whole night. He looked at Big Red closely; her eyes were bloodshot like she hadn't stopped crying and her hair and face were all messed up.
"Lita what's wrong?" he said and found himself thinking that whatever it was had something to do with why Hunter wasn't talking to him and the fact that she was backing off as he walked towards her confirmed it.
"Stay away from me Shawn," she said nervously but he couldn't stop himself, the more she walked back the more determined he was to walk forward. Trish got in between them and called for everyone's attention.
"You're going to have that Kliq meeting of yours at my house, we have a lot to talk about," she told Shawn who looked at Lita then back at Hunter thinking somewhere between Texas and Florida his life just changed.
Back in Texas . . .
The WWE roster made it to Shawn's house but they had to turn back. What they saw when they got there shocked them beyond all reason. HBK's house was submerged in more than 20ft of water and Vince and The Rock were on the roof. The area was blocked off by police and officials who were trying to retrieve several bodies out of the water; those bodies included Brock Lesnar, Sable, Stacy Kielber, Rikishi, Stone Cold Steve Austin, "The Macho Man" Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan. The ex-WWE Superstars and the Legendary Hulkster had drowned in the freak flood obviously unable to get to high ground like Vince and Rocky who were now being airlifted to dry land. The current RAW and Smackdown Superstars looked at each other in disbelief.
"What is going on here guys?" Matt Hardy said anxiously, "First we get sick and now those ex-Superstars perish in a freak flood? Something ain't right here man,"
"Look just thank the good Lord that wasn't us," Shad said.
"Yeah, if we had left the hospital the same time as Rocky we would be the ones being drawn out of 20ft of water," Mr. Kennedy said.
Cena shook his head, "I still say we find Trish, she knew something was up she tried to warn us and now seven ex-Superstars are dead she must know what's going on around here. What's the best way to Florida without going through Texas?"
The Superstars looked at him like he was crazy.
"We've gotta go back to the hospital," MVP said, "We're in no condition for a road trip and ain't nobody gonna airlift all of our infected asses to Florida,"
Cena smiled and Benoit cocked his eyebrow at him, "What are you thinking John?" he asked him.
"We may be far from Florida but we're close to California," Cena replied.
"So what?" Chavo replied then sneezing loudly.
"There's still stuff left over from my movie shoot, including a Black Hawk helicopter," Cena said.
The Superstars moaned collectively, "Come on guys we have to find out what's going on, we can't let TNA take advantage of us, the longer we remain ignorant the more likely we are to get screwed over. Don't forget we've still got a company to run and it looks like Vince is gonna run out of wrestlers before the week is through, we can't let that happen, now who's with me?"
Jeff Hardy raised his hand, "I'm with you Cena," he said and Cena cocked his eye at him surprised, "I mean you still suck as a wrestler and overall in-ring performer but you're right, something stinks here and it ain't my brother's gym bag. If TNA are up to something I say we find out sooner than later exactly what that something is,"
Gradually other Superstars rallied behind Hardy and eventually Cena had an army of riled up yet stricken wrestlers ready to kick some TNA butt.
"Aiight, let's roll!" Cena said and turned the huge production truck around and headed for Interstate 68, destination: Hollywood.
McMahons estate, CT:
Chris Jericho looked out of Stephanie McMahon's bedroom window as Rocky and Vince were lowered to the ground in an emergency helicopter. He turned to wake Stephanie and alert her to their arrival. Vince had called Linda and told her that HBK's house was submerged in water and several ex-WWE Superstars were now dead from a freak flood that seemed only to affect Shawn Michaels' ranch. Chris knew something wasn't right at that place and he had come over to keep Stephanie company during her separation from Hunter and she had spent the whole day in bed crying. She was going through so much pain it was awful but still he stayed at her side leaving only momentarily to talk to Rocky on his cell. The Brahma Bull confirmed what Vince had told Linda and he knew Stephanie would want to know whether or not Aurora and Hunter were in that house when it was immersed in over 20ft of water.
"Stephanie wake up baby," Jericho said but the billion dollar Princess wouldn't move, "Stephanie?" Jericho called again and shook her gently on the arm but still she gave no response.
"Linda?" Jericho called to Mrs. McMahon walking downstairs where she was about to greet her husband.
"What is it Jericho?" she asked him concerned.
"Stephanie's not moving, something's wrong I think we need to call a doctor," Jericho said and Linda exhaled in frustration putting her hand on her head.
"Alright," she said somberly as Vince and The Rock walked in.
"Linda can you believe this?" Vince said going up to his wife.
"Yes actually I can," she said, "but I can't go into that right now our daughter is lying sick on her bed and she's not moving,"
"I called the doctor he's on his way," Jericho said.
Linda turned away from Vince and walked up to Shane who had just come off the phone with Jerry Jarrett, Jeff Jarrett's father.
"I just spoke to Jerry Jarrett, he doesn't know anything about a TNA takeover of the WWE," Shane said.
"He didn't even know Kurt Angle was signing until the very last minute, Jeff's a mastermind at keeping his father in the dark," The Rock said, "but we got more important things to deal with now Shane,"
Shane frowned at The Rock then noticed his mother's despairing demeanor, "What now, my God what now?" he said incredulous that anything could top the week his family were already having.
"You sister's unconscious, the doctor's on his way now but she hasn't moved since I got here, "Jericho told him and Shane went white.
"Steph!" he cried and ran up the stairs to his sister and ran into her bedroom and threw himself down by her side. He held her hand but it was ice cold and her face was wan with no signs of emotion or feeling, she was in a coma.
"What's the matter sis?" he cried desperately but she showed no sign of acknowledgement she just lie still like Sleeping Beauty awaiting her prince's return. The temperature dropped sharply and Shane got up and started rubbing himself to stay warm but it got colder and he had to leave the room because he was shivering so hard.
"Is she in here?" the doctor said coming up to Shane.
"Yeah," Shane said his teeth chattering because of the cold and the doctor attempted to walk in but he couldn't go in there either.
"My God it's like an ice storm in there," he said.
"What's going on?" Jericho asked coming over to them with The Rock, Linda and Vince.
"Until you get someone into fix the central heating system I can't diagnose Mrs. McMahon-Helmsley," the doctor told them.
"But there's nothing wrong with the heating," Shane said.
"And that's Ms. McMahon, she getting divorced," Vince corrected the doctor and they all turned to Vince scowling at him not amused the least of whom was Linda who stormed into her bedroom slamming the door behind her. She walked over to the house phone and dialed Hunter's cell-phone; if her husband wouldn't put a stop to this ridiculous grudge, she would. No feud was worth her daughter's life.
Boca Vista, Florida:
Hunter's cell-phone rang unanswered as he sat in Trish and Carlito's garden with his friends and colleagues. He finally switched it off and waited for Trish to enlighten them all, Rebecca included, on what was going on with Shawn and Lita.
The blond haired veteran took a deep breath and began to speak.
"Sorry guys but this is going to have to wait," Kevin Nash said suddenly and Trish looked at him crossly.
"The truth can't wait," she said.
"Well the truth is we've got to get to Orlando for the Impact tapings," Austin Starr said, "You can talk to Shawn and Hunter when they get back,"
"No!" Hunter yelled, "I want this out and I want it settled once and for all!"
"I agree," Shawn said, "Trish whatever it is that's got Lita so upset please tell us so I can put it right and Hunter doesn't go completely off his rocker,"
"Okay," Austin Starr said rolling his eyes, "but make it quick,"
Shelton narrowed his eyes at him, "Who made you Kliq leader? You're a candidate you don't make decisions around here," he said and Austin glared at him mischievously. He was gonna enjoy kicking Shelton's ass on a weekly basis.
"Thank you Shelton," Trish said to the brash young athlete, "Okay now first off I want you all to understand that in Christendom, whatever is bound on Earth is bound in Heaven. What that means is whatever goes on between Shawn and Lita is ordained by God because she is part of His royal court,"
Puzzled faces stared back at the ex Diva and she decided to break it down for them, "You see people, what happens here on Earth has significance in the spiritual realm, so when I say that Shawn's in love with Lita-"
"WHAT!" Rebecca roared and picked up a chair to throw at her husband who cowered under the table.
"Somebody take that chair away from Becky," Trish said.
"I say let her throw it," Hunter said looking at his best friend disdainfully.
Trish rolled her eyes at the Cerebral Assassin, "Carlito please,"
Her boyfriend nodded and took the chair from Shawn's angry other half.
"Now Rebecca as a Christian woman, you of all people should understand what I mean when I say there is a spiritual significance behind everything that happens down here," Trish said.
"And how exactly does my husband having an affair with a gorgeous red-head have any significance in the Heavenlies?" Rebecca asked indignantly.
"Because . . . " Trish trailed off, "Oh crap!" she cried in frustration.
"What?" Hunter asked her.
"I just got some bad news but it's going to have to wait. First of all do you understand that Lita is not a normal human being?" Trish asked Rebecca.
"She's gorgeous and has a penchant for stealing women's husbands - sounds pretty normal to me," Rebecca said and Lita sank into herself holding her face down miserably.
"Don't you dare talk about my girlfriend like that!" said Edge coming out of nowhere with Christian behind him.
Lita looked up and saw her fiancé coming towards her. Oh man she sighed as he sat next to her wrapping his arm around her tenderly.
"I'll get you a drink, something stiff," Hunter said going into the house.
"What are you doing here?" Carlito asked Christian and Trish poked him in the ribs.
"Not now CLB," she said firmly, "People I have to finish before you all start calling my sister in Christ names," Trish said and everyone listened to her attentively, "As I was saying Lita's not normal, she's Anointed and she's anointed for such a time as this. It's no mistake that Lita, Melina and I have these wonderful gifts, we were brought together for a reason. In 3 weeks something is going to happen to all 3 of us, something phenomenal, but there's a bad side to it in that we're going to be put in grave danger. So to protect us, God has dispatched three individual believers and assigned them to each of us to save our lives. Carlito is assigned to me, Randy is assigned to Melina and Shawn is assigned to Lita,"
"Why is Randy assigned to Melina and not me?" Nitro asked offended.
"That's what I'm trying to tell you guys, you've got it all wrong," Trish said excitedly, "These assignments have nothing to do with love as we know it here on Earth, Satan put Randy through Hell because he knows how God plans to use him, that's why we've been struggling with him for this long,"
"So where do I come into this?" Shawn asked from under the table.
"God has beeen testing you from the very beginning, "Trish said to the Showstoppa, "to see if you can stay true to your promise to honor your wife and not give into your lustful appetites,"
"Lustful appetites?" Rebecca asked confused.
"He was staring at Lita's boobs when we were shooting the promo for SummerSlam last year," Trish told her.
"I knew it!" Hunter said violently and both he and Rebecca reached under the table to grab Shawn by his throat but Kevin Nash pulled them back and slapped Hunter around the head.
"Becky come on I'm still talking here!" Trish said throwing her hands up impatiently, "Last September Lita broke the yoke around his neck and anointed his with the spirit of her Anointing which destroyed all of those thoughts: he hasn't thought about her like that since,"
"She broke the yoke? What is this a joke?" Austin Starr asked and AJ told him to shut up.
"Yeah you rap worse than John Cena," Christian said.
"Yoke means burden, Lita has to power to remove curses and clense souls and that's what she did," Trish said proud of her Anointed sister and Rebecca smiled relieved. Trish looked under the table at Shawn who looked back at her frightened of what she was gonna narc him out on next, "You've passed that test but you've got one more to go before the week is through, it's not going to be easy but it's very important that you not fail it,"
"Whoopee," Shawn said putting his face down on the rug.
"Will I be tested?" Carlito asked his girlfriend.
"In 3 weeks," Trish replied and Carlito narrowed his eyes thinking what his test was gonna be.
"But why?" Rebecca asked.
"To see if he's worthy of the task God has assigned him to," Trish explained, "a task of momumental significance that even I am in the dark about, I do know that Shawn plays a very big part in it,"
Rebecca smiled, "I like that," she said and looked down at her husband pulling his head up so he could see her eyes, "I'll be keeping my eye on you Shawn, that's one test you're not gonna flunk," she warned him and he got out from under the picnic table confident that she wasn't going to hit him. Hunter took care of that and he held his head where The Game whacked him once and then once more for good measure.
"Trish, just answer me one question: are me and Lita more than just friends?" Shawn asked her rubbing his sore head and Trish turned away not wanting to put it as directly as she knew she had to.
"Yes," she said with her eyes closed not wanting to see the look on Rebecca's face when she said that, "but you're not lovers, if you put your hand on her you'll cause a cataclysmic reaction,"
Christian gawked at Trish like she was completely out of her mind.
"Who are you?" he asked mystified by what he was hearing.
"I'm The Truth: Trish Stratus and if you think you're going to get away with that scheme of yours to reunite E &C on Impact you've got another thing coming, believe me," she said and Christian balked at her frankness. Dammit he cursed wondering how on Earth Trish knew what he had planned, he hadn't even told Rhino yet.
"Excuse me Truth?" Rebecca asked Trish getting back on subject, "what's a cataclysmic reaction?"
"I'll give you a demonstration," Trish said and pulled Lita over to Shawn who backed away from her, "Shawn bear with me okay?" she asked the Heartbreak Kid who was weary of the distress this whole thing was causing his wife, "Give me your hand and shut your eyes," Trish asked him and he complied hesitantly. Trish put her hand over his and closed Lita's eyes with her other hand. She put Shawn's hand on Lita's face, "Okay watch," she said to everybody.
Suddenly Lita's face began to brighten as Trish took her hand off of Shawn's and he caressed Lita's face all on his own without any prompting from The Truth. Trish had given him a vision of Heaven and both he and Lita were in it and it was unbelievable, but not to Edge and Rebecca who watched in horror as Shawn slowly drew Lita closer to him the whole time his eyes closed not aware of his surroundings and Lita reciprocated by touching his arm lovingly equally unaware of the many eyes staring at her in disbelief. As far as they were concerned, they were in Heaven and nothing else mattered. Edge couldn't believe what he was seeing: his soon-to-be-wife was in a romantic trist with HBK right in front of him and his co-workers and they didn't even seem to care.
"Okay, open your eyes," Trish said and Shawn and Lita opened their eyes and flew back in horror at what they had just done. Shawn jumped back under the table and Lita flew into Hunter's arms,
"This is for you," he said handing Edge a glass of scotch which Edge took and drank it down in one gulp.
"Get me another one," he said and Christian ran inside and brought him back the bottle.
"Give me that," Trish said snatching the bottle from Edge's mouth, "Christian you stay out of this!" she warned her ex-fling, "You see?" Trish said to everyone, "They can't bear to be together that way, it just doesn't feel right because it's not natural for them to be so initmate here on Earth; their connection is spiritual not carnal, their relationship has Heavenly consequences, not sexual, do you understand what I'm saying you two?" she asked Edge and Rebecca, "They're not lovers in the traditional sense,"
Rebecca and Edge looked at each other then back at Trish.
"So what are they then?" Rebecca asked Trish.
"Kindred spirits?" Melina asked trying to get her head around it herself.
"God doesn't call it that but yeah, that's exactly what they are," Trish said, "two souls of a kind bound to each other on Earth as well as in Heaven,"
"So they're not having an affair?" Hunter asked Trish.
"No!" Trish said and everyone gave a sigh of relief.
"Thank God," Melina said.
"See Shawnie everything's gonna be alright, you can come out from under the table now let's go," Kevin Nash said.
"Wait a minute I'm not so sure they're not," Rebecca said and everyone went quiet as she approached Trish, "When Shawn dies, who will his soul be married to, me or Lita?"
Everyone gasped; it was a great question and they looked at Trish awaiting an answer. Trish shook her head amazed at how easy people could make things harder on themselves without God's help.
"Lita's of course, you're Shawn's wife here on Earth but not in Heaven, as far as God's concerned you're the mother of his children, nothing more," Trish replied and Shawn looked at The Truth stunned at the heartless way the words came out of her mouth. Rebecca was distraught, she started to pant she could no longer think straight.
"All this time, I was just saving your soul for another woman," she said in shock and Shawn held her tightly and turned her towards him forcefully.
"It's not true, not one word, don't you believe it Becky I love you more than anyone on this planet!" he reassured her passionately.
"Until you die then you belong to her!" she cried back scowling at Lita who looked mortified and started to cry. Edge shook his head: he couldn't believe it.
"Shawn you've screwed your last Canadian," he said snatching the whisky bottle from Trish smashing it on the side of the coffee table and held the sharp edge up to Shawn's face.
"Edge back off!" Trish said getting between them.
"Take it back," he demanded pointing the broken bottle in her face, "all this crap about Shawn and Lita is a lie!"
"Get out of her face!" Carlito said snatching the bottle away from him, "She's telling the truth, get over it!"
"Get over it? She just told my wife that I don't love her, she's lying!" Shawn added equally irate over this massive revelation.
"She's not lying, she can't lie she's The Truth: Trish Stratus!" Carlito shouted back.
"I don't think so Carlito," Edge said unconvinced, "this whole thing's a lie, the only phenomenal thing that's going to take place in 3 weeks is my wedding!"
Trish started to panic, she didn't know what to do she couldn't take it back then Randy Orton came towards Shawn and showed him the picture he had in his shirt pocket. Shawn snatched it from him and held it closely to his face.
"Where did you get this?" he asked Randy but the Legend Killer couldn't understand him. Shawn shook him violently, "I said where did you get this?" he shouted and Trish pushed Shawn away from him.
"He doesn't know okay?" she yelled.
"No it is not okay!" Shawn yelled back, "Trish Stratus you better tell me what the Hell is going on before I go medieval in this place,"
Trish got right up in his face.
"Don't threaten me," she said simply without flinching or batting an eyelid, "I'm on your side even if the truth isn't,"
Edge reached out his hand to Shawn, "Give me the picture," he said and Shawn hesitated so he repeated himself, "Shawn, I said give me the picture,"
Shawn tried to stall for time but Rebecca took the picture from his hand and looked at it along with everybody else. Everyone looked back up at HBK who was panicking.
"I didn't do that I swear!" he said, "That picture is a fake somebody's trying to screw me!"
Hunter and Lita came over and looked at it the latter gushing covering her face with her hands and looked back at Shawn in an equal state of confusion. Rebecca went blank and turned the picture towards her husband.
"You said 'til death do us part, I didn't think her death was the one you were talking about," she said and slapped Shawn hard across the face and stormed out of Trish's house angrily and Lita and Hunter chased after her followed by Edge and Christian-come-lately.
Carlito looked at Trish who was determined that everyone keep their heads, nobody was going anywhere until she was done.
"Honey will you please bring them back?" she asked him and he complied running after the angry mob convincing them to come back into the house. Meanwhile Trish looked at Randy and smiled pulling HBK back from going after his wife.
"Put on the breaks Shawn, I wan't you to hear this," she said grabbing his wrist and turned to Randy "As I live and breathe you got your revelation," she said rubbing his arm while Nitro translated, "I know you can't hear me but you will soon I promise,"
"He says he didn't mean to cause any harm," Nitro told her as Randy signed desperately. He turned to Shawn signing fervently, "He says he wants you to baptize him so he can explain the picture," Nitro told Shawn.
"You want me to baptize you after what you just did?" Shawn asked him annoyed and Randy told him that the Holy Spirit said when the time was right he would be able to interpret the photo, he believed that that time was when he was born again. "Randy you're confused you don't know what you heard," Shawn said dismissively and Randy looked down discouraged then he looked up again hopefully.
"He said please Shawn, give him a chance to prove that he's not the same person and maybe explain what's happening," Nitro said.
Shawn pulled his hand over his head and cradled his face in his hands, "Okay," he said eventually and Randy smiled happy to do something for someone else without a selfish reason.
"So Shawn, Carlito and Randy are assigned to protect us?" Melina asked Trish who was in awe of the interaction between 2 of the 3 assigned believers.
"The Word has already begun to manifest itself," she said and turned to HBK who was watching Carlito try to calm Hunter down while Lita pleaded her case to his wife who wasn't listening to her "that bad news I just got? Shawn, your house is submerged in 20ft of water and seven ex-WWE Superstars drowned trying to escape from it,"
"When it rains, it pours," Shawn replied too numb from his wife's slap to respond with any emotion.
"You don't know how right you are," Trish said as the familiar form of Miss. Taylor sashayed up to Hunter acting like she didn't see the former Women's Champion looking back at her through the glass disapprovingly. Trish huffed and picked up Aurora and kissed her on the cheek, "It's showtime baby," she whispered quietly while everyone tried to get their head around the picture of Shawn kissing Lita.
