ATM: Seth and the God Girls – The Good Housekeeper

After the havoc caused by her brother Shane, Stephanie tries to rebuild the McMahon family name but the DX family are weary of her intentions and Seth and the God Girls wonder who in the wrestling world they can really trust as they prepare to go to war with Bray Wyatt.

Chapter One - The Smart One

The God Girls apartment, New York City, New York

Sasha Banks looked out over Central Park as the God Girls looked at the morning headlines of tomorrow's newspaper.

"This is incredible," Charlotte Flair said as Alexa tightened Bianca's braid. "All these people are disappearing underground because of that no good Bray Wyatt!"

"What does he want with them?" Bayley asked handing everyone a cup of coffee.

"He's creating an army. He's part of Shane's agenda to take down the DX family once and for all," Bianca replied as Sasha remained silent. Becky Lynch noticed her quietness and tried her best not to point out the elephant in the room. Shane McMahon had declared war on DX and had hired Sasha and Seth as his top two commanders along with Bray Wyatt to be part of his new vision for the wrestling business. Though neither Seth or Sasha had agreed to take up Shane's offer, the Boss still hadn't made her intentions towards her father's plans clear to the God Girls and that made Becky and the other God Girls very nervous. As always, they just weren't sure who's side Sasha was on. They knew where Seth stood; as always, the Prayer Warrior was on God's side and yet again, it seemed like Sasha was on the opposite side.

"Let's talk strategy. Shane obviously wants the DX family out of Connecticut, we have to sever the link between this black fog, the underground tunnel from DX. Seth might not like this but I think we're going to have to get Beth Hardy involved," Bayley said and the God Girls turned to each other while Sasha continued to stare out of the window.

"The black fog is Bray Wyatt's way of marking territory in the spirit. He wants to scare the people of Connecticut, by covering Greenwich in darkness, he's hoping people will go underground and that's where he'll hypnotise them and make them do evil things," Bianca said.

"You mean like Miss Alexander?" Becky said and Bianca nodded.

"We'll find her Becky," Bianca said. "well, we won't but ATM and the DX kids will, we can't go into that tunnel without Seth,"

Sasha sighed at the mention of her husband's name. ATM had mandated that they be separated until after a decision had been made about how to handle the Shane and Wyatt situation. Seth was over at Hayworth's apartment with Roman Reigns and Abiyah and Sasha was missing him very much.

Bayley could see that Sasha was very upset but her attention was diverted between Sasha and how Lisa Helmsley Michaels' date went with Austin Theory last night. She was expected to hear back from LC soon but the Warrior Bride hadn't messaged her yet. The DX family was currently split between New York and Connecticut and LC and Cameron were waiting to hear from ATM just like the God Girls were. Things were crazy right now and Bayley herself was still on a short leash having almost completed her mini assignment. Nearly all the DX kids had given her their jewels which were now in the possession of ATM with the exception of one and that was Carla McCool. Once Carla handed over her DX jewels, Bayley's mini assignment would be complete and she would be allowed to call herself a God Girl. Right now, she'd just have to settle for being Sasha's concerned friend and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's hot new wife. Things could be a lot worse, she thought to herself and she raised her hand to get the God Girls' attention.

"Do you guys mind if I go see the Ortons? I really wanna know if Carla McCool handed in her DX jewels," Bayley said.

"The Ortons will let us know once Carla hands over her DX jewels," Bianca said and Bayley nodded twiddling her fingers nervously.

"Okay, I just wanna know. I'm dying to know if I passed my probation so I can officially be a God Girl," Bayley said.

"We know, we want you to join too Bayley. We need all the help we can get," Bianca said and Sasha stomped her foot on the ground angrily.

"I can't take this anymore, I'm going to see Seth," she said but Becky and Charlotte blocked the door so she couldn't get out.

"Sorry Boss but you know we can't let you do that. You have to stay here until ATM said you and Seth can be in the same room with Abiyah," Charlotte said.

"I don't want to hear that Charlotte," Sasha said angrily.

"I don't want to say it Sasha but that's what the situation is," Charlotte replied sternly.

"Yeah, now maybe you'll take this situation a little more seriously," Becky said. "My fiancé, Finn Balor, has been caught up in Bray Wyatt's nonsense along with Kenny Omega and Miss Alexander. We can't have you manipulating Seth while we're figuring out how to rescue them any everyone else that's fallen victim to Bray Wyatt's hypnotic garbage,"

"I have got nothing to do with Bray Wyatt!" Sasha said defensively.

"How do we know that Sasha?" Charlotte said. "How do we know you're not the girl Bray Wyatt was talking about when he was in the tunnel with Seth?"

Sasha shook her head, "What girl is this?" she asked Charlotte.

"Bray mentioned a girl that he was in love with that Seth took away from him, who else could he have been talking about if it wasn't you?" Charlotte said and Sasha pointed at Alexa Bliss.

"What about Lexi? She was the first one of you to fall into this God Girl stuff? She was Seth's Maid of Armour, did you ever think it could have been one of you?" Sasha replied and the God Girls looked at Bianca Belair for an answer. The EST held her hands up innocently as Alexa chuckled to herself.

"Way-to-pass the buck Boss. You know you're the girl Bray was talking about and that's why we can't let you out of our sight," Alexa replied still doing Bianca's hair.

"No, you guys need to do your homework and get off my case. There's only one man I have any interest in and that's Seth Rollins. You on the other hand Alexa, you have beef with Seth from our NXT days. Remember the list?" Sasha said and Alexa's face tightened and Becky and Charlotte noticed the change in Alexa's bubbly demeanour. "Remember when Seth wrote that list and made fun of your bulimia? Well, you weren't the only one he made fun of for being fat Lexi,"

"She was never fat, that's the whole point of battling bulimia, you think you're fat when you're not," Charlotte said.

"My point is that Alexa wasn't the only one who struggled with her weight issues, Bray struggled with them too and when he found out about the list, he took it personally and you guys know the rest," Sasha said to the other God Girls and Bianca looked at them curiously.

"What is she talking about?" she asked them.

"This was before you joined the roster," Charlotte told Bianca. "Bray Wyatt used to get into fights with Seth Rollins down in NXT. The Shield and the Wyatt family were always at each other's throats,"

"One time it got so bad, Dusty Rhodes had to send them both to counselling. DX had to play peacekeeper, even the main roster heard about the list. It got really personal between Seth and Bray; Wyatt never forgave Seth for making him body conscious. Why do you think they're Hell in a Cell match was so brutal? It was based on real hate, a hate that Bray obviously still has," Becky said.

"Which proves that Alexa is the one Bray had feelings for, they probably both had fat days and needed mutual shoulders to cry on. Why would Bray want me? It doesn't make any sense!" Sasha said.

"No, it does make sense," Bianca said. "What if Bray wants you because he knows how much Seth loves you? He could be trying to tear Seth's life apart,"

"But that could be said for any of us," Becky added and Sasha did not like that. "Seth cares about all of us,"

"Yeah but Sasha's his wife, she means more to Seth than we do and if he really wanted vengeance on Seth, wouldn't he want what means the most to him?"

"Actually, what means the most to Bray Wyatt is his career. He wants it back so I think you're both wrong and Seth was just rambling a whole bunch of nothing and he's just trying to throw you all off track," Bayley said and the God Girls looked away from her. "Of course, I'm sure you'd take me more seriously after I pass my probation,"

The God Girls nodded, "Sorry Bayley, we just don't know if we can trust you or your opinion just yet," Bianca said and Bayley got to her feet.

"Well, in that case, I'm going home to my husband," she said and she walked over to Sasha. "Wanna come home with me? There's no sign of trouble on the West Coast, Malibu could be the safest place for you right now,"

Sasha looked at the God Girls with disdain, "Is that okay with you?" she spat bitterly and the God Girls watched as Sasha and Bayley left their New York apartment.

"She hates us so much right now," Alexa said. "Imagine trying to blame Bray Wyatt's psychosis on me?"

"Did you really have a fat diary?" Bianca asked her.

"Yes I did but that doesn't mean that I—"

"Did you ever show your diary to Bray Wyatt?" Bianca continued and the God Girls waited for Alexa to respond.

"Yeah, I might have shared a page or two, but that doesn't mean that I had a thing with him," Alexa said defensively.

"Do you still have that diary Alexa?" Bianca asked and Seth's Maid of Armour shook her head that she didn't, "Well if you don't have it, there's a chance that Bray Wyatt does and he could use it against Seth if things get worse for DX,"

"But I don't know where it is, I threw it out after I started losing weight and got called up to the main roster," Alexa said.

"Well, I hate to say this guys but I think we're going to have to get a little bit closer to that demented Wyatt, whether my husband likes it or not," Bianca said. "Something tells me that there's more in that diary that we need to know,"

"But its personal, I don't want you reading it," Alexa said emotionally.

"If Bray has it, the whole world will be reading it soon and not only will it drag you back into your past, it'll drag Seth through the mud too. We can't allow Bray to have anything to use against Seth. We're his Girls and we have to do whatever it takes to protect him at all times. Especially you Lexi, you're his first God Girl, his Maid of Armour. We have to get that diary from Bray and you're going to be the one to help us get it. Are you up to the task?" Bianca said and Alexa nodded that she was.

"At a girl Lexi," Becky said patting Alexa on the back while Bianca looked at her phone. Charlotte noticed the concerned look on the EST's face.

"What's wrong?" Charlotte asked her.

"We've got trouble," Bianca said. "let's go to Hayworth's apartment and see Seth,"

The God Girls hustled down the stairs and headed towards Midtown where a fight was breaking out between Roman, Seth and a very nervous Austin Theory.
