Author's note: Hey everybody... I'm terribly sorry that it has been so long since I last updated, but I just wasn't able to continue. But finally I made it... even thought this chapter took a totally different turn than I really wanted it. I just hope that there are still some people out there who are interested in reading the new chapter (again: Martha, are you still out there anywhere? Please give me a sign)

Dedication: This new chapter is dedicated to Denise hugs I'm really sorry that I haven't been the best of friend in the last weeks...


Chapter 11: Fights

Triple H and Dhani took a seat at a small table in the corner of the restaurant where they would at least be a bit more private.

Hunter didn't really want too much people to see them together for now because he knew that Alexandria would have a problem with that and she'd have Chris coming after him.

Of course he wasn't afraid of Y2J, but he wanted to regain Randy's trust and earn Alexi's some day, so he didn't want to give them a new point for an argument for now.

The Game pushed away these thoughts and smiled at the young woman, who sat opposite of him.

"So you're a friend of Alexi and Chris?" He questioned.

"Yeah... well more of Alexandria... I've known her since we're three or four years old..." Dhani explained, still trying to come to terms with the fact that she was really sitting in a restaurant with her absolute favourite wrestler.

"And how come you haven't seen her for so long?" Triple H wondered.

"I've been out of the country to train for the next World Championship in Figure Skating..." Dhani explained a little hesitantly.

"Oh okay..." Hunter nodded.

"I've never been too interested in this sport but if you're going to skate I'm surely going to watch..." He said with a huge grin on his face, which made Dhani go red.

"Um... thanks..." Was all she managed to say.

The young woman looked at the Cerebral Assassin for a moment and studied the other man's face, trying to decide if you should ask the question that had been on her mind for a while now.

The smile on Hunter's face made her trust him, so she questioned softly: "Um... you don't have to answer if you don't want to, I can understand it... I just wanted to ask..."

She didn't exactly know how to put it into words. Hunter sighed. He had a pretty good idea what Dhani wanted to ask, so he said: "You want to know why Alexandria, Shawn, Chris and a lot of the other wrestlers hate me so much, am I right?"

"Yeah... exactly... and as I said, you don't have to answer, if you don't want to." Dhani quickly explained.

Hunter sighed again.

"It's not that big a secret. I've done some very stupid things in the past months, destroying my friendship with Randy... and I tried to have my revenge on him by using Alexi... and well you know that Chris is very protective of Alexandria, so are Shawn, John, Randy and a lot of other wrestlers..." He explained and Dhani watched him carefully, trying to figure out if he was lying or not. She didn't see any sign for a lie and she knew that Hunter had no reason to lie to her at all.

"But why did you do it in the first place? I mean if Randy and you have been such good friends..." Dhani questioned.

"I don't really know anymore. I mean... well... actually it was my ego. I was jealous because the fans were cheering louder for him than for me... and then things just got complicated. But the last few days I've come to realise how much I actually miss Randy's and Dave's friendship. And that Randy obviously has problems doesn't help the matter any..."

Dhani nodded. Somehow she understood why Hunter had done it, even though she didn't want to justify it.

The woman could see, that it saddened Hunter to talk about it, so she decided to switch topic.

"So... any interesting storylines coming for you?" She questioned, smiling at the older man.

Hunter shrugged.

"I don't really know. I haven't talked to Vince about it... I have a meeting with him later and he'll probably tell me then." The Game explained and Dhani nodded in understanding.

The two had a nice conversation and Hunter made Dhani promise that they'd see each other again soon. Dhani of course had agreed immediately, but she and Hunter had decided not to tell other about it as long as things were so complicated.

And when Dhani returned to her hotel room later that night, after her coffee with Triple H, she still couldn't believe what had happened.

Sure, she had been prepared for a lot when Alexandria had told her who her father was, but never that Hunter would invite her to have dinner with him.

She hadn't seen Alexi all day ever since she had followed Randy but she guessed it was better that way and that she and Alexandria could talk about everything the next day because somehow she had the feeling that Alexi wouldn't be available to talk to for tonight.

While Alexi and Randy were up in their room and Dhani and Hunter were having their coffee, Batista and John were walking through the hotel.

The Animal looked at John. The WWE-Champion was still pale but at least he seemed to have gotten a grip on his emotions.

Dave still wasn't sure why exactly Cena had been so shaken by Randy's words, but he knew that the young Orton and John went way back and John must have had his reasons.

Currently the two were on their way to their hotel rooms to go to bed early since the next day would be very hard. John had a photo shoot with Randy and Alexi and then they would film trailers for the show, which would be the beginnings of some feuds for the next Wrestlemania and then there was the live show in the evening where Alexi would have her first in-ring appearance in a match against Victoria. And then he had to drive Randy to the hospital for those tests Martha had told him she needed to determine what was wrong with him. At first Martha had planned to get Randy out of all his appearances that day but Vince hadn't allowed that, since Martha hadn't been able to give him good reasons.

So Randy had to appear, what John didn't particularly like and he guessed Martha did neither.

And after everything that had happened this day they would need all the rest they could get.

"Um Dave..." John suddenly started and looked at the Animal almost shyly.

"Yeah, what's on your mind John?" Batista questioned, easily seeing that Cena had something important on his mind.
"Can I perhaps take the second bed in your room? After everything that has happened today I guess it's better if I don't return to my room tonight, because I need to talk to Randy first and not when we're both still emotional and worked up over the situation."

"Of course you can crash at my room... but you know that you have to face Randy sometime?" Batista agreed. He was currently occupying his room alone since Shawn, his usual roommate had been on honeymoon, so there was no problem for John to take the second bed since Marissa and Shawn used to share a room as long as Marissa was with them on the tour.

"Yeah I know... and believe me I will... but I guess tonight is not the right time to do so. Randy needs time to think about everything and so do I..." Cena explained.

Batista nodded. John knew Randy much better than any of the other people on the roster and when he said that the young Orton needed the space, then he really needed it.

"I just wanted to make sure, that you're really going to talk to him. Because in his current situation, the last thing Randy needs is a fight with his best friend."

John nodded. "I'm glad to know that you think about Randy's well being. He needs all the friends he has at the moment."
Batista nodded again.

"I guessed as much..." Then he sighed again.

"Do you have an idea what the hell Hunter is doing right now? I mean... his behaviour is even more confusing than usual." The Animal told the Dr. of Thuganomics thoughtful.

John laughed for a second.

"I thought it was odd too... but after what Randy told me earlier, I'm somehow convinced that he's actually serious and cares about RKO again." He explained.

Dave agreed. "I thought so too. He seemed really concerned when he helped Randy after his last encounter with his father."
This time it was John, who nodded and he sighed again.

"I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things play out... but if I have reason to believe that Hunter's only doing it to lull Randy in so that he can have his revenge, then I swear to god, Triple H will wish that he was never been born."
"If that's the case, then I'm with you..." Batista said, a dry laugh on his lips.

John smiled a little.

"Okay... but I get the first turn." He demanded.

"Sure thing John... but for now, let's just wait and see what happens... perhaps Hunter really wants to change."

John shrugged. "As you said, let's wait and see."

The two had arrived at Dave's room and the Animal opened the door.

"The bed over at the window is normally Shawn's." Batista motioned and grabbed some things.

"I'm gonna take a shower before I go to bed. If you want to, you can shower too." With that Batista vanished into the bathroom.

"Thanks Dave." John called after him and laid down on the bed to relax a little but when Dave returned from the bathroom about half an hour later, Cena was fast asleep on the bed and Batista just let him.

He made himself comfortable on the bed and was asleep too a few minutes later.

Alexandria awoke the next morning and it took her a moment to realise, where she was.

She raised her head a little and saw that Randy was still asleep, one arm tugged under his head, the other around Alexi's waist, holding her securely in place.

HBK's daughter smiled happily and let her head sink back onto Randy's naked chest.

She still couldn't really believe what had happened last night but there was no way she regretted anything.

Suddenly she remembered John and couldn't help but blush. She peeked over Randy at the WWE-Champions bed and to her relief found it empty.

For a moment she wondered if John had already left or if he hadn't been here at all.

Alexandria sighed and knew that whatever the case was, she couldn't change it now, even though she was pretty sure that John hadn't been here.

Her thoughts were interrupted, when Randy suddenly started to stir.

"Mhh? Lexi?" He questioned, still half asleep, his eyes only half-open.

"Good morning handsome." Alexi greeted with a bright smile on her face.

"Did you sleep well?" She questioned after she had given him a 'good-morning' kiss.

The Legend Killer was completely awake by now.

"Of course I slept well... how couldn't I." He said, with a dreamy smile on his face, obviously relieving what they had shared the night before.

Alexi could feel the heat rising in her cheeks and was sure, that she was blushing a little.

"Are you hungry?" She questioned, knowing that Randy needed to eat.

"Nah... not really... but if you are, we can get ready and can get something to eat. I mean, we need to be ready for work..." The young Orton took a quick glance at the alarm clock and added: "... in two hours anyway."

Alexandria nodded.

"I should go back to my room and take a quick shower and then I should check up on Dhani, so she won't feel neglected." She said and started to free herself from Randy's arms and the blanket that was tangled around them.

The young Orton, however, quickly tightened his embrace and pulled her back towards him.

"You can shower here..." He started, but Alexandria quickly interrupted him: "Yeah of course I could... but we both know that I won't shower alone... and then we won't get ready on time..."
Randy tried his best puppy-dog-eyes on her, but Alexi didn't give in and instead added: "And besides that, John can come back any minute..."
As soon as HBK's daughter mentioned John, Randy's face hardened.

"Sorry..." Alexi quickly apologised, remembering what had happened the day before between John and Randy. She hoped that the two would work through it.

The Legend Killer sighed.

"It's okay... I need to talk to him at some point..." He said, knowing that he had been too hard on his best friend the day before.

Alexi was glad, that Randy seemed to be ready to at least talk to John.

"Yeah I guess you need to do that... see, another point why I should take the shower at my room." She said, a small smile on her face.

Randy couldn't help but smile a little too.

"I guess you're right... but a shower with you sounds just so great." He said, trying the puppy-dog-eyes again.

Alexi blushed and laughed.
"Just because we can't do it today, doesn't mean, that we can't do it some other time." She explained, finally freeing herself from Randy's arms, starting to dress herself.

"Is that a promise?" Randy questioned, a smile on her lips.

Alexi turned her head and looked at her boyfriend.
"If you want it to be." She replied, smiling sweetly.

Randy laughed and looked at Alexi, who was by now fully dressed.

The Heartbreak Kid's daughter walked back to the bed and kissed Randy.

"See you in about an hour down in the lobby." She said, after she broke the kiss.

"Yeah... see you then princess." Randy nodded and looked after his girlfriend with regret when she left the room.

With a sigh he got out of the bed himself, picked out some new clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

When he left the bathroom, dressed in a pair of jeans and towel drying his hair, he found John sitting on his bed.

The Dr. of Thuganomics looked at the Legend Killer, trying not to show his emotions.

"Morning RKO. I let myself in when I realised that you were alone... and decided to wait until you came out of the bathroom." He greeted, when Randy didn't say anything.

"Morning JC." Randy replied and stopped to dry his hair.

John was relieved that Randy at least wasn't yelling at him.

He took the opportunity and said: "I'm so sorry Randy. I never meant to tell Dave about your past... he found out most of it on his own. But when he asked me to confirm it, I did."

Randy sat down on his own bed with a sigh.

"I'm sorry too, John. I shouldn't have yelled at you. I always knew that people would find out eventually. And please know that I don't hate you..." He said, smiling slightly.

John did smile too.

"I still am sorry for telling Dave. But I have to admit that I was almost relieved to confirm Dave's suspicions. That didn't make me feel like I was breaking the promise." Cena explained, knowing that the only way to regain Randy's trust was to be completely honest.

The Legend Killer raised his eyebrow and didn't really know what to think of John's words.

"What do you mean you were relieved? Is it that cool to tell people about my past?" He questioned, not able to keep the anger from his words.

John quickly shook his head.

"Of course not. That's not the way I meant it... but I was relieved that I was finally not the only one to know what Bob is doing to you." John started and saw, that Randy was about to interrupt him again, so he quickly continued: "Damn RKO, for years I've been the only one to know about you. I've been the one to patch you up when Bob has been beating you to a bloody pulp again... I'm the one, who found you after your suicide attempt... Randy... you're my best friend, my brother and it's killing me to see you like that... so I was glad to finally be able to tell somebody... and Dave's your friend too... he cares about you too... and he wants to help."

The current WWE-Champion looked at Randy, who had paled a little.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner, JC? I never meant to hurt you that much. I just had nobody else to turn to." The Legend Killer said, his voice full of regret.

John sighed. He hadn't wanted to make Randy feel guilty. He just wanted for him to understand why he had told Batista about everything.

"RKO, it's okay... as I said, we're best friends and best friends care for each other... I just want ya to know why I've told Dave everything. And I don't want you to be mad at me anymore..." He hurried to say.

Randy sighed. "I was never mad... I was just shocked." He admitted.
"So everything okay between us again?" John questioned, looking at the Legend Killer expectantly.

Randy nodded. "Yeah, of course... but what's Dave gonna do now? I mean... I don't want more people to find out... especially not Lexi."

Damn... and here I was thinking that I could finally get him to open up. John cursed in his thoughts before he said: "He's not telling anybody and he's not doing anything if you don't want him to."

Randy nodded relieved and smiled a little.

"I'm glad to hear that. I don't want people to pity me..." He told his best friend.

John sighed exasperatedly. He had had this conversation with Randy more than once, but he also knew that right at the moment there was no way to change Randy's mind.

So he decided to change the topic.

"So, where's Alexi? Did you two have fun last night?" He asked, grinning, enjoying the light blush that crept onto Randy's face.

He ducked to avoid the pillow, Randy had thrown at him.
"It's none of your business." The Legend Killer told him sternly.

Johny laughed. "Sorry, just kidding... but my first question still stands. Where's Alexi?"

"She's taking a shower and then she wants to find out if Dhani is okay." Randy answered, finally putting on his shirt.

"We'll meet up for breakfast down in the lobby. You can join us if you want." He explained.
"Sounds good... then we can go and film that goddamn trailer before I'm going to drive you to the hospital." John told his best friend seriously.

A shadow passed over Randy's face. He had been able to forget about his trip to the hospital until now.
"Thanks again that you're coming with me." The Legend Killer told his friend seriously.

"Hey, as I told you before, no big deal..." John told him, this time abstaining from telling Randy that he had to tell at least Alexi about his trip to the hospital, knowing that Randy would just get angry again.

"Then I guess you should get ready so that we can be down in the lobby on time." The Legend Killer explained.

John nodded and quickly vanished into the bathroom.

When he was ready it was about time to meet with Alexi, so the two walked downstairs, both glad that they'd been able to sort their differences out.

As soon as they entered the lobby, the two immediately knew that this day wouldn't continue to be as peaceful as it had started.

Even before they entered the lobby, they could hear Alexi's voice, yelling at someone.

John and Randy looked at each other in shock, when they realised it was Chris Jericho, she was yelling at.

None of them had ever seen her yelling at her surrogate big brother.

"What the hell is going on between you two?" John questioned and came to stand beside the two.

Jericho turned and when he recognised Randy, he got even angrier.

"You... this is all your fault..." He screamed and before any of them could react, he threw himself at Randy, punching him square in the face, catching the Legend Killer off gard, sending him to the ground.

Randy just let out a pained cry when his head connected with the back of one of the lounge chairs standing in the room.

Then he fell to the ground, not moving.

Chris just looked at him, realising what he had done.

Alexandria screamed at him: "You bastard... how could you..."

Then she knelt down beside Randy. "Oh my god... please somebody call an ambulance." She yelled when she saw the pool of blood quickly growing under Randy's head.

Her cry, shook everybody out of their shock and John quickly called an ambulance, wondering what had gotten into Chris all of sudden.

He knew that he had to wait for a while to find out, while he tried to help Alexi to take care of Randy.

Jericho stood beside them, not really knowing what to do and John guessed it was better that way, at least for now.

Dave, who had come down seconds after them, tried to keep the curious onlookers away.

All were relieved when finally the ambulance arrived and a medical team took care of Randy.

When the ambulance drove away with Randy and Alexi, John finally turned to Chris.

"What the hell happened? And what the hell has gotten into you?" He questioned, trying to keep his calm. He could be angry at Y2J, when he knew the whole truth.

"What happened? What has gotten into me?" Jericho repeated and then he answered the question so that John could only stare at him in shock.

"Randy's cheating on Alexi... with Martha."
