AN: Xmastreelites gave me permission! Yay!
wondering who Jericho mentioned? Go check out "Coming Undone" by Xmastreelites. Pretty much the same Punk muse here, only because of what happened, he realizes he can go too far. Reading that story is not essential to understanding this story, I just thought that punk was excellent, and kind of patterned mine after him. Also the same Orton muse, just with a lot of time passing. I will try to PM Xmastreelites before adding this dimension.
Orton turned back to Punk briefly after Jericho left. "Sorry. Excuse him."
Punk's expression changed to one of pure grief. "How did he even find out?"
"He's Jericho. Who knows." Orton shrugged.
"Your pet needs discipline."
"When I say he does, I will give it. Mind your own." Orton leaned against the locker. "You planning to take the entire Shield, or just Ambrose?"
"I haven't even taken Ambrose yet, Orton. I am taking it slow this time."
"Huh. Surprised you haven't blown a gasket."
"I know, I just don't want to be who I was anymore. That Punk is dead."
"That's good to hear. I guess if you take all three, I would notice. I'll see you around, Punk."
"Sure."
Orton strode confidently to the gorilla position, smirking as his two favorite pets kneeled to make a human chair for him, so he could rest his legs.
Ambrose was blissfully unaware of this conversation, ambling along as if he were walking on clouds. Reigns and Rollins gave each other a knowing glance. They headed out to the gorilla position for their next match.
The usos and Christian turned out to be quite the formidable opponents. Rollins and Reigns shook their heads and walked to their trailer as Ambrose did a small jig as he walked towards their trailer. Punk would meet them there later, after explaining things to Kofi.
"So that's what's going on." Punk said quietly. He hadf just finished telling Kofi that he was staying with the shield. For the time being. Kofi had simply nodded, shrugged, and said "that's cool, man. So you don't mind if I have Evan ride with me, then? He claims there is some new movie out that I just have to watch, or something. "
Punk shrugged and nodded.
"I guess him ranting about special effects should keep me awake. I'll let you get back to your little loverboy, man."
Punk smirked. "Don't you change nationalities while I am gone Kofi." He quipped.
"I wonder how fast I can get a passport done…" Kofi pretended to be deep in thought as Punk chuckled softly and left to join Ambrose.
