( A/N : I do not speak nor can I write in Spanish, I wish I did that way I could actually write down whats being said rather than just having someone translate it.
Oh and I forgot that Triple H and Randy Orten were in Legacy when Kat was a kid so I had to add that in* hand face*)
During the night a freak Tropical Storm was barring down on the coast on Mexico that was rapidly becoming a powerful hurricane by the hour. By early morning the winds and and the rain had increased so much that a mandatory Evacuation of the coastal region was issued WWE officials for the tour had been on the phone asking about if they should continue the tour or reschedule the dates since the early hours of the morning. Once the main office decided on the later phone calls were made to the wrestlers rooms along with a member of the hotel staff being sent up to knock on doors.
Having slept threw the phone call Hellcat and Chris Jericho were both woken up by loud the pounding on their hotel room door. Picking himself off of the floor where he had been sleeping the last couple nights Jericho walked over and opened the door dressed in only the pair of shorts he slept in. Standing in the hall was a young man who's English wasn't that great with how frantically he was speaking. Using what Spanish he knew Chris found out exactly what was going on.
Walking into the hall in the pair of shorts and a spaghetti strap tank top she had been sleeping in She was quick to notice the look of distress in Chris's eyes." Whats going on?" she asked worriedly as she tried her best to ignore the sounds of the raging storm just outside the building.
Raking a hand threw his hair " We're being bused out of here to avoid being stuck in the path of the hurricane that's headed right in our direction!" he replied softly. He watched Hellcats eyes grow wide in fear as she stood frozen in place "fuck" he muttered seeing her reaction. Pulling her into a tight embrace " I forgot all about you and storms, I'm soo sorry Kitten." he apologized profusely trying to sooth her. Releasing a ragged sigh " Pip, We need to pack up and leave now! The quicker we're out of here the safer we'll be, I promises" he replied reassuringly but with the terrified look with in her eyes he knew she was to scared to move. Thinking quickly he came up with a better idea " Alright I'll pack our bags. Can you at least manage to get dressed on your own or do I need to do that for you as well?" he asked with that smart-ass look of his. Hellcat looked up and simply gave him the finger before getting dressed and help with the packing causing him to chuckle at how well that idea worked.
It wasn't long before all of the Superstars were packed up and headed out to the buses with the already loaded ones beginning to leave. Jericho and Hellcat were the last ones to load up on their bus when the doors closed and it started pulling out before they even had a chance to get settled. Walking over and grabbed her bags " Adam took off on one of the first buses to leave Kitten." Triple H explained regretfully to the young woman " Cena and Hardy are on board along with Orten, so you two will have to share the room in the back or figure something out." he explained as he led them back and set her bags on the bed before walking back to the front of the bus.
The storm seamed to sound louder on the bus than it did inside of the hotel. Regardless of how hard she tried to look as if it wasn't bothering her Jericho and Triple H both knew her well enough to see past the calm facade she had on. The guys were sitting around in the front of the bus talking old matches and anything else that came up in their conversation while Hellcat was sitting in the back of the buss with Jericho's headphones covering her ears. Listing to his play list that she had uploaded onto her laptop as she worked on an assignment for one of her classes while trying to drowned out the sound of the wind and rain.
After awhile she picked everything up and carried it with her as she walked to the front to be around the guys. Taking a seat near the window at the small table she bent her right leg up and the left one down on the seat underneath her while she continued to listen to the music and type away on her laptop. Hellcat had changed into a pair of dark blue shorts and a cotton short sleeved NY Rangers hockey jersey with the number 27 on the arm in small print and on the back in large print underneath the name Irvine. Unknowingly drawing the attention of the four men around her when she started singing ' Yellow Submarine' by the Beatles, Hellcat continued on with her writing assignment " We all live in a..." she started to sing out loud when all the sudden the guys joined in "...yellow submarine, yellow submarine. We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine". Looking around with a look of complete shock and utter humiliation, Hellcat ducked her head down behind her laptop as she tried to hide.
Getting up from his seat, Chris walked over behind her and patted her on the shoulder " So we can all listen" he suggested as he reached around her to unplugged the head phones and removed them from her ears. " Still wearing that shirt I got for ya?" he asked while leaning over her shoulder to check out what she was working on " Whats this?"
Hellcat smiled as the redness in her cheeks subsided and went back to their normal color " At least it fits now Chazz! I use to have to tuck it in or tie it to keep it from looking like a dress" she replied with smirk. Looking up over her shoulder at him " I'm taking some online collage courses. I'm not sure exactly what major I'm going to go for, so for the moment I'm going for a journalism degree." she explained.
A smile grew upon Chris's face when she said this " Good for you Pip!" he replied as he went back to his seat.
Matt looked up from his card game he was having with John Cena on the table next to her " Whats with the nicknames?" he asked curiously " Yea, I was wondering that as well" Cena spoke up as well.
Once again Hellcat ducked her head down behind her laptop as Jericho laughed at her reaction " Whats the matter Pip? Don't you want to tell them?" he asked in a teasingly while sitting back down in his spot. Lifting her hand up she flipped him off " I'll take that as a 'No" he said with a chuckle. Sighing for a moment as he thought back " Not long after I joined the WWE, she was in her early teens, Lawler asked if I could keep her out of trouble before a show one night cause he had a meeting. I arranged for a TV and a DVD player to be set up backstage in my locker room and I popped in the movie ' Airheads' that I had just bought that day. Turned out it was one of her favorite movies and since then we refer to each other by the characters Pip and Chazz. " he explained to the guys " I called her Pip 'cause she sort of reminded me of him." he replied.
Matt looked over at the young woman who was still hiding behind her laptop " So how did Jericho get the nickname Chazz, Kat?" he asked trying to look around at her face.
Hellcat muttered something so softly that no one could make it out as she typed away. Matt held a hand up to his ear and went 'huh?' trying to get her to speak up. Giving an annoyed grunt she saved her work and closed the laptop " 'Cause he was always talking about his band, he had the long locks of hair, the Rock-star look and because he ..." she stopped in mid-sentience as started blushing like crazy and took off for the back of the bus leaving her laptop behind. Triple H stood up with an evil smirk plastered on his face as he fallowed her to the back of the bus. They could hear him threatening to tell something that happened when she was little if she didn't finish what she was saying when all the sudden the others heard " 'Cause he's incredibly HOTT, alright!" she hollered "... GET OUT ..." shrieked loudly when she realized she what had said out loud as her adopted father burst out in a fit of laughter as he headed back to the front of the bus.
Everyone slowly looked over at Chris Jericho who was sitting motionless in his seat with his mouth gaping wide open at what she had hollered out before they also started laughing at how funny it was. Not only had they managed to completely embarrass the hell out of their rookie, but also managed to render Chris Jericho completely speechless at the same time. Once the four men got themselves together they went back to what they were doing, with the exception of Chris who noticed Hellcat had left her lap top on the table. Ignoring the sideways glances from the others, he stood up and grabbed the laptop and head phones and took them to the back of the bus.
Knocking on the door he could hear a muffled ' Go away' from with in the room. Stetting the stuff down on the floor he sighed " I brought your laptop and my headphones back for ya, Pip. There right outside the door." Chris spoke of in a soft voice before walking back towards the front of the bus. Trapped within his own thoughts he sat in a seat facing away from everyone else and stared off out the window into the evening sky. They had been traveling all day and the weather hadn't changed one bit since that morning no matter how far they had gone. Thinking about Hellcat, he didn't know what to do now that she unintentionally hollered out what she thought about him. The only thing he could think of was to give her time and see what happens and hope for the best.
Hellcat heard Jericho walk away when she opened the door to say something he was already gone. Looking down on the floor she picked the things he brought back and shut herself back into the small room once again. Leaning heavily against the door she let out a troubled sigh, "Well cat's out of the bag now. I just hope I didn't screw things up any..." she said to herself as she walked over and laid down on the bed. Setting her laptop back in her bag she curled up in the center of the bed hugging one of the pillows tightly as she tried to go to sleep even though the sound of the rain was echoing in the small room.
Several hours had gone by when Hellcat finally poked her head out from behind the door. All the lights were off and the sounds of snoring coming from all four bunks filled the bus. Tip-toeing her way past the bunks she stepped past the divider curtain and started to to look for something to drink " Hungry?" a failure voice asked in a hushed voice asked from behind her once again.
A small sigh escaped Hellcats lips " No, just can't sleep is all" she explained as she gave up her search. Turning around she bumped into Jericho " I'm gonna... um... go" she said not really knowing what to say to him right then.
Shuffling his feet a little, "I'm sorry..." he tried to find the right words but felt like nothing he could say would help, stepping aside he let Hellcat go threw.
Not moving a muscle she just stood there for a moment before turning into his chest, this time not by accident. Wrapping her arms up around him " In all honesty, I've never been more humiliated in my life" she started to explain. Wrapping his arms around her hugging her tightly.
Rubbing her back gently with his hands he smiled warmly at her " It's really late would you mind if we shared that bed? These chairs out here aren't all that comfortable" he chuckled softly.
Hellcat smiled and nudged her head towards the back "Sure, I don't see what harm that could do now" she whispered not seeing how anything else could top how embarrassed she already was. Chris nodded and rubbed her shoulder as she led the way to the back of the bus.
" Night, Kat" came from the two top bunks,
" Goodnight" said the bottom left,
" Leave the door open you two!" from the bottom right which brought a chorus of chuckles from the other three bunks.
If that wasn't bad enough just as they walked into the small bedroom in the back kissing noises came from one of the top bunks as another snickered joining in.
" How old are you two again?" to which the bottom left bunk called out
" That's enough you three! Don't make me get my sledge hammer out from under this bus!" The bottom right warned dangerously shutting them up.
Jericho and Hellcat simply looked at each other and sighed heavily " This is going to be a LONG ride back to the States" they whispered before situating themselves for the night. Each taking one side of the bed as they both fell fast asleep.
Once her feet hit U.S. soil, Hellcat was on the phone with Skid from her pit crew checking on the new engine. As much as she was loving being able to live out her dream of being a WWE Diva, or Anti-Diva in her case, she missed her car more "So it should be there in plenty of time for me to pull the old one out? Sweet, Thanks Skidz your the best! Oh yeah, I have some time off to kill and I can't think of a better way then with my 'Ole Man' You got it, I'll see you in L.A. " She hung up the phone only to see a completely puzzled look on Chris Jericho's face "What?" she asked in complete innocents.
"What's in L.A.?" he asked as he walked over with his bag's in hand.
Hellcat smiled happily " The parts for the new engine of my car are due in any day now. That's where my sign up bonus went to..." she explained simply. But when she seen the clueless look on his face she smacked her forehead " I forgot" she chuckled " You know the black Dodge in my intro?" she asked him to which he simply nodded his head 'yes' " Well that's my car! When I was on my own with a lower Wrestling division, I would street race just to earn the money I needed to cover my traveling expenses. I ended up blowing the engine in my last race! " she explained honestly.
Raising an eyebrow Chris Jericho wasn't sure how to handle the news about her street racing, especial since its illegal " Isn't street racing against the law Pip?" he asked skeptically " and secondly dose your Uncle know about this not to mention Paul?" he continued crossing his arms firmly in front of his chest.
Hellcat sighed heavily already knowing that not everyone would be thrilled about her racing for money " Yeah umm...Only Uncle Jerry knows..." she said sounding like a kid who got caught with her hand in the cookie jar " He's already had to bail me out of jail for speeding. He wasn't happy about it but after a long talk we came to an agreement and a few drivers and I got together and formed a club to take it off the streets." she explained hoping that he would understand. The last thing she needed was another lecture like the one She received from her Uncle in the past.
Shaking his head Chris started chuckling " Why am I not surprised Pip?" he asked incredulously. Uncrossing his arms he sighed "Look, I have business to handle in L.A. for a few days myself. So how about I get us a couple plane tickets, you can just pay me back later" he suggested hailing a cab to take them to the airport.
Hellcat she nodded in agreement, " Thanks Chris" she said appreciatively " I'll be crashing at my friends, so why don't you stop over some time and check my car out?" she offered as she got into the cab next to him " Besides, I'd like to introduce you to some friends of mine" she said with a cheesy grin as they climbed into the back of a cab.
