Molly bit her lip and curled her hands into fists by her sides. Her body was shaking slightly without her realising it. Hurricane was silent as he looked at her, taking in everything with those eyes, those eyes that saw everything inside and out. She realised that his response to her outburst would mean everything to her right now, for the first time she'd thrown aside her doubts and insecurities, she'd actually said what she was feeling deep down inside of her without worrying about how it would affect their relationship. She'd said it because it because she knew now she needed to tell him everything, all that had happened since Nidia had spoken to her in the locker room and planted the seeds in her mind. She knew she needed to open up to keep this relationship together.
Hurricane was about to speak when they both winced, their respective super and hurri-senses going off powerfully. Someone needed their help now.
"We have to go" Hurricane said abruptly, moving out of the door with a swish
Now he was the one locking everything inside, unable to express it. Molly closed her eyes, willing herself not to cry and uncurling her fists because she was digging her own nails into the palms of her hands. She felt so vulnerable right now, everything wanting to explode out of her at that moment but she knew it had to wait, people were depending on her and Hurricane to save the day. She had to push all her own emotional turmoil aside to help others.

She collapsed on the hotel bed, finally allowing herself to cry. Here in the safety of a hotel room, she could let everything out. She curled up on the bed, crying everything out, all she was feeling. As she lay there, she felt like she was seeing clearly now. She knew that her relationship with Hurricane meant more to her than any other, even more than her one with Spike which she thought could never be surpassed. Hurricane had told her she'd always followed her heart, she knew what her heart wanted; to be a superheroine, to be Women's Champion and to be part of Hurricane's life.
After they'd finished rescuing, Hurricane had flown away from her, not speaking at all. Never had she felt so alone, so desolate and so helpless. She had to talk to someone; she grabbed the hotel phone and dialled the reception desk.
"Could you tell me the room number of Shannon Moore please?" she asked softly
"Certainly, number 308" the pleasant voice replied
Thanking the clerk, she put the receiver down with a click and slipped out of the room and down the corridor to find Shannon. He was the only person apart from Hurricane she felt she could talk to, really talk to, even though the last remnants of her crush on him still fizzled inside her, she felt like he was a friend, a brotherly figure who was there. Finding the room, she knocked and waited. The door opened and Shannon stood there in pair of old worn shorts and a baggy T-shirt, his headphones hung around his neck and his CD player in one of his hands.
"Molly, what's happened to you?" he asked, immediately noticing her red swollen eyes and miserable expression
"I need to talk," she said simply
He nodded and stood back to let her in, closing the door after her. The room was dark with the blinds drawn and a bedside lamp gloomily illuminating it. His clothes were scattered around his open suitcase, Molly smiled a little, it was the way Hurricane would leave his room only he'd have comics liberally placed about too. She sat down on the bed, drawing her limbs to her, cutting a forlorn little figure. Shannon sat down next to her, lying back against the headboard.
"I told him I loved him and he didn't reply," she said quietly "Nidia saw you kiss me and told him, he thinks we're having an affair, he wants to believe it, like I wanted to believe her" "Nidia saw me kiss you?" Shannon said thoughtfully, rubbing his chin "she must have been spying on his, just waiting to find something to tell him, you know she's never forgiven him for breaking off the relationship?"
"I heard that" replied Molly
"She cheated on him with Jamie so he dropped her pretty quick" continued Shannon, moving about to get comfortable "taking the Crusierweight title wasn't enough, she's been waiting for a chance to screw him up even more"
"Shannon what am I going to do?" Molly's voice became powerful "I finally broke through my fear of upsetting our relationship and he's just not listening"
"I tell you what, you go back to your room and get a good night's sleep coz I think you need it, I'll try and talk to Hurricane, maybe you'll see him on next week's Smackdown"
Molly nodded, suddenly tiredness hit her like a wave. She was emotionally and physically exhausted, she needed to sleep and let everything sink in. She slowly got up.
"Guess I do need some sleep" she said "thanks Shannon, for listening to me,"
"It's ok, it's all part of the job" he replied, laughing slightly
She smiled and kissed him on the cheek before leaving for her room. As soon as he heard her footsteps disappear down the corridor, he picked up the phone and dialled.
"Hurricane? Shannon, yeah I need to talk to you so listen up..."

"Come on Shannon!" Molly yelled at the monitor
She was watching in a small corner of the corridor as Shannon battled Jamie Noble on Smackdown. He'd asked her to watch him, to see how he did and she'd been happy to do so. He was doing well, the crowd were really behind him. As she concentrated on the monitor, she wasn't aware of a figure behind her until a hand gently gripped her shoulder. She started and turned around
"Hurricane" she gasped "what are doing here?"
"Same as you, here to see how he does" he motioned to the monitor with his free hand "and to see you"
Molly didn't speak; it was too much to hope after all that had happened. She just smiled softly at him and turned back to the monitor before speaking
"I did mean it, what I said," she began "it took me a while to realise what I had with you, I wasn't listening to the right people, I should have been listening to you"
"I know you feel shaky and edgy in this relationship but I do too, I know I want to be with you, that's all" he replied, squeezing her shoulder
"It was just that after Spike, I didn't dare hope I'd meet someone who'd make me feel the way he did, but I did and I wasn't really prepared" she couldn't look at him, she was too afraid of how he would respond
"It's ok, don't worry, I know that now, I shouldn't have listened to Nidia either"
"You need to break free from her, you know that? You still won't hurt her"
"I can't.." he began protesting
"Yes you can, in this environment, you're a wrestler and are righting the wrongs of the square circle" she said grinning, feeling a lot more relaxed now
She turned back to the monitor and her expression turned from happiness to outrage
"Nidia! She's stopping Shannon getting the win"
"Never fear" Hurricane smiled down at her "Hurricane is here"
"That's reassuring," she said sarcastically
"Enough of that thank you" he reprimanded "listen, we can talk later ok?"
"Ok" she smiled back at him
He placed both hands on her shoulders and kissed her, not a short goodbye kiss, but a new beginning kiss, one that made her tingle all over and feel so alive. She wrapped her arms around his back, enjoying what it was doing to her. He pulled back, almost apologetically
"That was not meant to happen!" he laughed "I've gotta go help someone in need"
"Oops" replied Molly with a playful shrug
Hurricane gave a last smile before disappearing down the corridor, dodging people as quickly as he could on his way to the ring. She shook her head and turned back to the monitor, touching her lips. It really had happened, it had signified everything changing, for the better. The crowd roared as Hurricane dashed down to the ring and pulled Nidia from the apron to confront her. She yelled at him, daring him to hit her. Hurricane seemed to hesitate, Molly silently willed him to go for her. His fists were raised but he didn't do anything. Satisfied, Nidia began walking away until Hurricane grabbed her, pulled her around and clotheslined her hard to the floor. He turned and gave a big thumbs up the camera. The crowd cheered but Molly knew something they didn't; that gesture was for her, signalling an end to an era and the start of something new.
