~~~~~~~~~Thursday August 25th, 2011 Sawyer's Locker room (Athena's POV)~~~~~~~

I had walked into the locker room with Tommy. I was a bit distracted. I had driven from Nashville to Tampa and from Tampa to Orlando. All with Aphrodite, my kitten, and Chase, Tommy's new Germen Sheppard mix, in the backseat. This was our form of making sure the two bound. I didn't exactly know any house sitters that would watch the two of them.

I dropped Chase's leash and Tommy made sure he laid down out of the way of everyone's feet. I was content to hold the little orange kitten.

"Jamie, Colton it's good to see you." I said.

"It's good to be back." Colton said. I had a sinking feeling about today so my eyeliner and mascara were waterproof. I hadn't even realized that Tommy had left to get changed. He was trying a new color for his ring gear.

I looked at the TV to see Kurt coming out.

"I don't like this." I said.

"You don't like anything lately." Devon said. I couldn't help but nod my head. It was true. I looked over at Tommy, just walking back in, who was petting Chase's head. I looked back over at the TV and my head jolted to the side when he called Tommy out. Oh fun.

"Come on." I said. We then made our way to the ring. This was not my day already. I didn't like the looks of any of this. I got into the ring and backed up into a corner. Aphrodite had started to move and she moved onto my shoulder. My shoulders were bare. I was wearing a red and black lace divine corset and a pair of dark blue jeans. Aphrodite had her claws out and I could feel she was pissed at Kurt's threatening. Her fur had poofed out and I'm sure her ears were flattened with fangs showing. I was content to stay in my little corner. I wouldn't get in the middle unless I had to.

I was terrified and couldn't help but be just a little proud of how Crimson was handling himself. My heart ran into overdrive when Immortal's music hit. I moved over to Crimson and cautiously wrapped an arm around his waist. He looked at me and then saw the ball of orange fury on my shoulder.

"What pissed her off?" He asked.

"Kurt." I replied. I followed Crimson into the corner. I was so terrified but I was good at hiding it right now. Ray needed to stop running his mouth like Crimson was stupid. I'd clock his sorry behind but Kurt cut them off. I looked around at Immortal. I just wanted to get the hell out of the ring. Crimson would have to help me get Aphrodite off my shoulder though. I'm sure the claws had drawn blood and embedded themselves in my left shoulder.

Crimson and I get out of the ring. I managed to put one hand on Aphrodite to keep her from falling from my shoulder. We're walking up the ramp when he turned toward me. He petted Aphrodite until she eased up and he could grab her from my shoulder. I took her from him and I stopped to watch something on the screen. It was Velvet, ODB, and Jackie. I had been a part of that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Earlier (Devon's POV)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Athena, Ellie, and I had left the locker room to go get a quick snack before the show started. When we walked back into our locker room Jackie and ODB were talking to Jamie. When Jackie said that she could drop Jamie we all stepped forward.

"You'd have to go through the three of us first sweetie." I said. I could almost see Ellie's concern but I ignored her. I was sure Jackie hadn't expected to see the three of us.

"You forget that Velvet here is still part of Femme Fatale." Athena said.

"I'd just defend her." Ellie said.

"We still don't want any trouble." Jackie said. I nodded my head. I was still an intimidating sight. I'm six feet tall not counting the extra three inches my wedge heels gave me. I was glad to see ODB and Jackie leave. I turned around to see Jamie shaking her head.

"I'm not surprised at the three of you." Jamie said.

"You're family. Well you may as well be." I said. Athena looked at the camera guy until he left our locker room. I watched as Chase, Tommy's new adopted puppy, trotted over to Athena. Chase put his front paws on her.

"Hey buddy. Where's daddy?" Athena asked as she ruffled his ears.

"Speaking of family. I think Colton might have a question for me." Jamie said.

"Really why?" Ellie asked.

"He's taking me out to dinner and it's a fancy restaurant." Jamie replied.

"Tell us how it goes?" I asked.

"Always." Jamie said. Athena was smiling as she petted Chase.

"Why did you get Tommy a dog again?" Ellie asked.

"Just because. He did the same thing with Aphrodite." Athena replied.

"Ah young love." Ellie said. I looked at my cousin. She'd been burned and I knew she was cynical but that was sort of ridiculous.

"Is Clare with you?" I asked.

"Yes. The babysitter bailed at the last possible second." Ellie muttered.

"Well at least she'll have someone to play with." Athena said as Chase moved off of her. Everyone in the locker room save Clare had been proven to be the good guys and family. I shook my head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bach to present time (Athena's POV)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"There was so much more to that." I said.

"Of course there was. Let's go see Kevin your shoulder is bleeding." Tommy said. I looked over to my left shoulder and sighed.

"Can't take you anywhere can we Aphrodite?" I asked as we walked over to Kevin's office. I had barely walked in before he hung his head.

"Immortal didn't get you did they?" Kevin asked.

"No, her cat did." Tommy said.

"Her cat?" Kevin asked.

"She's got claws in my bare shoulder." I replied. He shook his head as he started disinfecting my cuts.

"You come in with the strangest things." Kevin said as he finished.

"I know." I said. Tommy and I started toward the locker room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Velvet's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Colton had started off sitting next to me but the moment Kurt and Immortal had gotten aggressive with both Tommy and Athena he vaulted until he was sitting next to Chase. Mostly to keep Clare from being hurt. I was still trying to figure out the relationship there. Clare was five and Ellie's daughter. Clare called Colton, Devon, and Athena by Aunt Athena, Uncle Colton, and Aunt Devon. Though I was certain that Clare knew they were her cousins. I looked up when Jesse walked in.

"Hey Jamie. I've come to be your other valet." Jesse said.

"But I'm facing Lauren." I said.

"Doesn't matter. She's a heel and I'm a face. Out there I hate her. It's what goes on behind closed doors that matter. Colton you ready?" Jesse asked.

"Dev you've got Chase in case they get in more trouble?" Colton asked.

"I got this. Besides they should be back soon." Devon said. Colton nodded and stood up. He took my hand and we left the locker room with Jesse. My music played.

"Please welcome the team being accompanied by Colton Sawyer and Jesse "The Outlaw" Andreakos the team of Jackie, ODB, and Velvet Sky." Christy said. I knew Colton was right behind me. Colton stayed on the ground with Jesse and I got ready to wrestle the match with Jackie and ODB. Jackie was in first. The only reason Jesse and Colton were there was to work against Hernandez and Anarquia. Jackie tagged in to me and I worked a short bit with Rosita before I tagged out to ODB. ODB tagged me in and I worked against Sarita. Sarita grabbed a hold of my legs and dragged me back to the corner. Rosita and Sarita worked me over. I wasn't sure who well any of this would work. I started to crawl back to my corner but Rosita dragged me back and tagged out to Sarita who took control. I started getting a little bit of momentum and started back to my corner but Angelina grabbed me. I started working with Angelina and almost picked up the victory until Rosita and Sarita broke it up. ODB and Jackie took them to the floor and Angelina and I continued. She was taking me down. She nailed me and I rolled away. I wasn't entirely sure what was going on until the two of them threw me over Angelina and we picked up the victory.

"Your winners Jackie, ODB, and Velvet Sky." Christy said. Colton and Jesse got into the ring. Colton wrapped me in a hug and we got out of the ring. I watched Jesse's reaction at how Rosita and Sarita were handling Angelina. I leaned into Colton.

"You okay?" Colton asked.

"Just sore." I said. I nodded my head at ODB and Jackie as Colton and I headed back to our locker room. I looked at Athena.

"What happened to your shoulder?" I asked.

"An angry orange ball of fur." Athena answered with a nod to the small orange kitten curled up on top of Chase.

"Ah. Ellie when is your match?" I asked.

"Right after the X Division match." Ellie answered.

"Who is your opponent?" I asked.

"Madison Rayne." Ellie replied. I nodded my head and sat down. Colton sat down next to me. Jesse had gone back to his own locker room.

"How's your shoulder Athena?" I asked.

"Just fine. Doesn't hurt that much at all." Athena replied.

"Good job in your match by the way." Devon said.

"Thank you." I said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Devon's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During the X Division match Ellie went to get ready. Clare had resumed her position by Chase. I smiled at my cousin. I wasn't looking forward to commentating though I wasn't really commentating. I also wasn't looking forward to Kurt and Tommy's match. Athena would be on edge during the entire thing. None of this would end well. I was impressed with how Jesse Sorensen was doing until of course Kid Kash pulled off a cheaty victory. I looked up when Ellie walked over. Her brown hair that normally settled easily to about her mid back was curled. Her brown eyes were outlined perfectly. She was in a pair of black tights and a white tank top with a navy blue tank top over it.

"Good luck out there." I said.

"Thanks. Keep an eye on Clare for me." Ellie said as she walked out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ellie's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was walking toward the ring when I bumped into someone. I took a step back and a blush lit my cheeks.

"I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I going." I said.

"I don't think I've seen you around. I'm Jesse Sorensen." He said.

"I'm new. Ellen Leigh. I've got a match." I said.

"Well good luck Ellen." Jesse said with a smile.

"Thank you." I said as I started to walk away. I turned around.

"By the way I think it was brave of you to stand up to Kid Kash." I said. Jesse smiled and I continued toward the ring.

I looked at the music guy.

"Which one do you want to play?" He asked.

"My Life." I said. He nodded his head and I stepped out.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall." Christy said.

"Introducing first from Washington DC by way of Gilbert, Arizona Ellie Sawyer." Christy said. I'm sure that Athena, Colton, Jamie, and Randy's jaw would be on the floor. I got into the ring and waited for Madison to come out. My music was cut off and replaced by "Killa Queen".

"Her opponent from Seattle, Washington Madison Rayne." Christy said. I couldn't help but grit my teeth. She was wearing her blue cameo ring gear with the Air Force logo on it. That brought back painful memories for me but I shook it off. Sure I was relatively unknown but Jesse, Colton, Athena, and Devon had spent time training with me.

I watched as she got into the ring and the match started. If she yelled at me I would kick her sorry butt from here all the way back home. I wasn't afraid about taking it to her. I wasn't surprised when she grabbed my hair and yanked down until I was on my back. My back gave a small arch as I brought one leg up and used it to kick her in the head. She let go of my hair and I rolled over. I continued to take it to her. I got her where I was winning most of the time. I needed to get back.

I kicked her in the stomach doubling her over. I then picked her up and nailed her with a double underhook suplex.

"That was what Ellie calls Beautiful People." Phoenix said from her spot at the announce table. I covered Madison and picked up the victory.

"The winner of the match Ellie Sawyer." Christy said. My music played and I slid out of the ring. I walked back up the ring. I hadn't expected to win my first match. I now knew how my family felt. It was a rush. I was walking back toward the Sawyer locker room when Jesse Sorensen walked toward me.

"I thought your last name was Leigh?" Jesse asked

"It is. I just feel closer to the Sawyers. Their my family." I replied.

"That explains it. By the way congratulations on the win." Jesse said.

"Thanks. I've got to get back. I need to make sure my girl is okay." I said.

"You've got a daughter?" Jesse asked.

"Long story short I thought I was in love with her daddy but he left me high and dry. He is in the Air Force." I replied.

"What's her name?" Jesse asked.

"Clare Ellen Leigh." I replied.

"Pretty name. I should let you get going." Jesse said. I smiled.

"Thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing you around." I said as I walked away and continued toward the locker room. I walked in and Clare wrapped her arms around my leg.

"Congratulations mamma." Clare said.

"Thank you." I said as I picked her up.

"Sawyer? Ellie Sawyer? Your mother must be having a fit." Devon said with a smile.

"Probably but I don't like being a Leigh. I was a Sawyer." I said.

"Dev, we've got to go out." Matt said. Devon nodded her head and stood.

"We've got Clare you go get changed." Athena said. I nodded my head and set her down. I then went to go get changed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Devon's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was content just to stand behind Matt like I've been doing since he got hurt. When I walked out though I froze. They had gotten me a chair and a headset. I looked over at Matt. This had his name written all over it. I took the seat next to Taz and pulled on my headset.

"This isn't my usual thing but I can try." I said.

"It's nice to have you on commentary Devon. I've got a question Ellie Sawyer another sister?" Taz asked.

"No. Ellie is my cousin." I answered.

"Ah." Mike said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Matt's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I could read Devon's posture. She knew I had set it up. I was just trying to help her out. No need to have her standing behind me for the rest of my time out. I wasn't surprised with how easily she was taking it though. I focused on the match.

"What RVD needs is that he doesn't need Jerry showing up again." Devon said. I couldn't help but agree with her. I was impressed with how she was handling it. I was impressed when Rob picked up the ten points with a submission. I shook my head when Joe came out and started attacking Pope.

"Lord. Something isn't going to end well." Devon muttered. I was impressed when Devon came out and sort of chased Joe away. I nodded to Mike and Taz before I pulled off my headset. Devon followed after me and we went to the back.

"Why do you say that?" I asked.

"I don't think Joe is done yet." Devon whispered.

"It'll be okay." I said as I wrapped an arm around my shoulders. We walked into the locker room to see Robbie E talking to Rob Terry. Iris was next to Rob.

"That kid is going to get hurt." I said. We then watched Angelina get attacked by Mexican America only for Winter to fly off the handle. I felt like Scott was a bit crazy on his own. Sting and Serena came out when Hogan and Ric asked them to.

"Steve does a really good gay voice." Athena said when it came to it.

"Yes he does. I'm a little afraid." Colton said. It broke down and Ric took control. Hogan wasn't exactly happy about that. I couldn't help but shake my head.

"What is left on the card?" Devon asked.

"The Fortune versus Immortal Bound for Glory match and Tommy's match." Athena said.

"You memorize it?" I asked.

"Yes. It lets me know exactly when I need to put on my valet face." Athena said.

"You have a valet face?" I asked. Athena stuck her tongue out at me. I watched as Allen got into the ring with Mikaela. She had Natalie with her. When Allen agreed to the match I could almost read the concern on her face.

"She doesn't like that." I said.

"I don't think any wife in her right mind would." Athena said. I watched as Mikaela actually left Allen. She went to go stand by the announce table. When Brianna and Celeste came out with Bobby and James they did the same thing. They did a great job of separating A.J. from Bobby and James after a bit. I shook my head when Ray picked up the victory. I hadn't expected to see Ken so soon again. He seemed to be in a very bad mood at Gunner. That would need stitches probably. I shook my head and looked over at Athena and Tommy who had stood.

"Have fun out there." I said.

"Oodles. This isn't going to end well." Athena muttered as she stood.

"Way to be positive." Colton said.

"Shut up. I've got a bad feeling." Athena said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tommy's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Athena was normally so positive. Then again she had plenty of reasons. I was going against Kurt Angle. I knew she was confident in what I could do though. She just worried more than necessary. Well she'd said it last week I did the same thing with her. We walked out to the ring. She wouldn't let any of her worries show. We got into the ring and waited for Kurt. Kurt's music came on and out he came.

"You've got this." Athena whispered. I nodded my head in agreement. Athena knew to keep her head level.

"Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a non title bout. This is your Impact Wrestling Main Event of the evening. When the bell rings the man in charge TNA official Mr. Brian Hebner." JB said.

"And now introducing the combatants first of all standing in the corner to my left he weighed in this morning at 270 lbs and comes to us from Brooklyn, New York being accompanied by Athena Sawyer he is the Undefeated Crimson." JB said. He then went to introduce Kurt. Athena gave me another quick kiss before she got out of the ring.

The match started. I had a slight edge and Kurt was being cautious. I actually had Kurt on the ropes figuratively. I continued with the momentum. It wasn't often you saw Kurt on the ropes. He fired me into the corner and got me in my right knee with a shoulder block. Athena was being very quiet. It was different for her. From there Kurt had most of the control. He was making sure I stayed on the mat. He'd actually locked me into a submission until I started getting out of it. He kept good control of my head though. It was not going well. I managed to finally throw Kurt off. I could hear Athena clapping to get me back up. I managed to nail Kurt with a suplex and a pin but he kicked out. He in turn nailed me with a suplex of his own. When he turned his back I nailed him with a spear and almost got the victory. He got me down and locked in the Ankle Lock. He then dropped down and put the grapevine on. It hurt but I managed to roll over to my back and after kicking him repeatedly he let go. He went to land his Angle Slam on me but I reversed it into my Red Sky. I was going for a pin until Joe got in and broke it off.

Oh lord. Athena had been right. I hate when she was right. I was laying in the corner. I started to get up to see Kurt give him the okay. He went right for my right knee. I battled down and managed to get him out of the ring. Athena got into the ring. She rested a hand on my back. She looked between the two of us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Athena's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm sure my heart was bounding a mile a minute. I was terrified. I just hoped Tommy would think this through. What am I talking about no he wouldn't. We had gotten out of the ring and were in the back. He was in a very bad mood. When Joe came out I had a bad flashback to the bar fight. I had moved to stop him but he had shoved me into the metal steps. I was holding my head when he hurt Tommy. I hate when I'm right. Kevin came over.

"Take care of him. Him first. I'll be fine." I hissed. Kevin knew better then to argue with me. He was over looking at Tommy.

"Athena! Are you okay?" Devon asked as she slid over.

"Stop worrying about me. I'm not the important one here." I cried as I pushed my sister away. I reached up and grabbed the stairs. Using the stairs I pulled myself up. One look at Kevin and the other guys had a cry lodged into my throat.

"Athena you're being stubborn." Colton said as he walked over. I leveled him with a glare.

"Thena I'll watch Chase and Aphrodite for you." Andreakos said as he walked over. I started to nod my head but it hurt. Kevin walked over.

"I will not leave you alone until you let me check out your head. Joe pushed you pretty hard." Kevin said. I let him check out the back of my head. He also shined that damn light in my eyes.

"Well you don't have a concussion. You hit the corner of the stairs though." Kevin said as he held up fingertips with a slight hint of blood on them.

"I'm going to the hospital anyway I'll have them stitch it up." I said.

"Good." Kevin said. I looked over at Colton.

"Just enjoy your dinner with Jamie tonight. I'll call you guys when I know more." I said as I followed after the rest of the medics into the ambulance. If there was one bright side I wasn't in tears yet. This was not how I wanted the week to end. Hopefully by next week better news would be coming our way. I absently answered questions that were asked. I had also hooked Tommy's left hand in both of mine.

"Why does this always happen?" I asked.

"We're accident prone." He replied. I shook my head.
