Chapter 56 Been there done that
Raven really couldn't understand what she had done wrong, Nikki Bella had been warned and she didn't listen, since Nikki decided that listening to the warning was a bad idea, Raven had to prove otherwise, nothing made them listen like a little trip to Death's door. After Nikki had put the air back in her lungs, she started screeching and hollering, making Raven want to put her back in the chokehold, that screeching was like nails on a chalkboard, something she had to put up with alot in Siya's classroom. Siya and her daughter Saya were teachers back home, Siya of course teaching Raven's generation while her daughter opted for the younger generation, after the breakout teaching was about the only thing the two women could do, afterall they weren't trained to be Hunters, or even fighters. Raven hated that damn chalkboard, it hurt her sensetive ears and one point even made them bleed, now she wished for nothing more but to back in that classroom with Siya, having meaningless facts being pounded into her brain.
Now that Nikki had finished screeching her speech was far more audible, apparently Raven had crossed a line and Hunter was going to be the first to know about it and then Raven would be fired. Raven kinda liked that idea, because of course she thought it meant it litterly, Hunter would try to set her alight, it wouldn't be the first time someone had thought fire was a weakness. So Raven decided she would at least try to make it easier on Hunter, she along with Storm followed Nikki to the boss' office.
"I still don't understand what exactly you did wrong Raven"
"Neither do I Storm, but apparently Hunter is gonna fire me and I have to see how strong his technique is"
It's not litteral Raven
I wanna shoot you so badly Devitt
And here I was just wanting to help
You wanna help? Go kill yourself that would be a great help Devitt
Raven, as always, is right. That would be a great help Devitt
Ain't no one talkin to you Storm
I was
Awww you don't mean that Raven, especially after what happened the last time we were in the same room
Raven said nothing, she wanted to forget it ever happened but sadly she knew Devitt wouldn't let her forget it, it didn't help that Storm was now trading insults with Devitt, inside Raven's head.
Oh my crossbow!
Don't you mean God?
Hey you worship your thing Devitt and I'll worship mine
Raven sat with Storm in front of Hunter's desk while Nikki explained/screeched what had happened, Raven found it interesting how Nikki left out certain parts of the story, like how she pushed Raven, or how she threatened Raven, or how Raven had warned her on what would happen. When she was done, Hunter lent back in his chair wondering just how to handle that situation. He had an idea but first he knew he would have to explain it to Raven, and Storm who refused to leave them alone. Nikki gave Raven a victorious sneer truley believing that as always she had gotten her own way. Nikki knew there was a reason she kept John Cena around.
Once the door was shut, Hunter finally decided to share his idea with Raven, "According to Nikki you managed to choke her out without so much as breaking a sweat"
"I don't know what any of those words mean Hunter"
"You managed to choke her out with ease"
Raven shrugged "I'm a Hunter what did you expect? That I would be beaten by a Hu-man? Let me tell you somethin Hunter the only beings that have ever gotten close to beatin me is Storm and as much as I hate to admit it, Devitt. Anyone else is not an opponant, they're victims"
"You certainly have the heel role down"
Of course Raven looked to her feet, the odd socks that she had grown accustomed too sat snugly on her feet, "What has my feet got to do with anything?"
Hunter decided to push forward with the conversation, if he didn't they would be here forever and even if Raven had that time, he didn't. "I want to train you"
"I'm all ready trained Hunter, you're about four thousands years too late on that account"
"I meant for wrestling, if you want to blend in maybe the best way to do that is to become a wrestler, Storm could be your manager, that means she accompnies you to the ring and makes sure that you win"
Raven just stared at him, her gaze bearing down to his soul trying to find all the hidden answers he had locked away, it wasn't hard to do but still she insisted on keeping her skills sharp. There it was, hidden away among the urge to train her and the need to bring up his children and grow his business, that slight worrying that was burrowing into his skin, it wouldn't leave him alone and instead of trying to find the truth, because knowing the truth scared him, he would just ignore it and pretend that everything was ok, Hunter knew it was killing him slowly but right now that was the only answer he had.
"I'll make you a deal" Raven finally said, she knew it wasn't her place to pry and perhaps she should just stay out of it, but that wasn't her nature, her nature was to help. By any means neccessary. "I'll train to be a wrestler if you talk to your wife"
The colour slipped from his face, he would never truely know the extent of her magic, he knew it was great but this was beyond everything he had expected, just when he thought her magic couldn't get better, she found ways to surprise him.
"I talk to my wife"
"No. You don't. You fear the words she could speak and you don't wanna hear them, so you avoid it as much as you can, but that is only leaving you both empty and by the time the words are spoken, it will be too late to repair. Talk to her now Hunter, while you both have the desire to save what you have"
Spoken like a true Mage
Fuck off Hows that for a Mage?
Hunter let out a sigh, "Do you know what she has to say?"
"I do. But I won't tell you what they are, they need to be said by her and heard by you."
Raven mimicked the Hu-man's as much as she could, gently she touched his hand giving it a squeeze, to her she had no idea what this motion actually did, but Hunter felt it, that odd comfort of someone trying to help. He may not have magic, but he could see it in her, in both of them, they merely wanted to help because he and Steph had helped them. The Hunter's code of honour.
"If you talk to your wife, I'll let you train me and Storm for wrestling"
"I'm wrestling?" Storm finally piped up, she had remained quiet during the meeting, it wasn't her place to interrupt, besides that was one of her strong points, because she was so quiet, things seemed to forget she was even there, by the time they realised, it was far too late.
Raven smirked "If I have to par-take in this Hu-man activity, then so do you, you are my partner after all"
"I just have one question, when can I punch Devitt in the face?"
"Anytime you want too" Raven answered for Hunter who would say the opposite, she knew.
You can try Storm
Oh I intend too Devitt
Storm remained where she was, getting the details from Hunter about this wrestling thing, but with all the hidden magic she could muster she sought out Devitt. All Raven heard in her head was the sound of flesh cracking bone and Devitt yelling in pain. It bought a real smile to Storm's pale face, the only thing that was better than punching Devitt was Aj Styles, someone she would see as soon as her meeting was over.
