Her Life

Disclaimer: I own nothing that has to do with the WWE in any way, shape or form and nothing in my story has ever happened. The only person in my story that I own is Jade and Dawn.

Summary: The nWo has just infected the WWE, and who should appear but Hogan's 18 year old daughter Jade. She finds friends, enemies and even…true love?

Chapter 9: Aftermath

"How are you feeling?" Hunter asked Jade. The nWo and Hunter were back in the nWo locker room after they had left the ring.

"I have a headache and pains running through my ribs, but other than that, I'm just fine." Jade answered sarcastically.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Hogan asked. "You could have gotten seriously injured."

"But she didn't." Kevin stated.

"And she annihilated Stephanie." Scott added.

"I don't care, her welfare comes first." Hogan stated.

"You're acting like I have no clue what I'm doing." Jade said.

"Well, that was only your first match." Hogan said.

"And she did great." Hunter said.

"We should celebrate." Scott said. "I'm sure that there's a nice bar around here somewhere."

"You're not drinking, Scott." Kevin said.

"Come on." Scott said. "One beer, that's all."

"No." Kevin replied.

"You're acting like you're my keeper or something." Scott stated.

"Well, sometimes I think that you need one." Kevin replied.

"Excuse me." Jade said. "While this is all very entertaining, I don't even drink."

"Can I have her share then?" Scott asked.

"Her share of what?" Kevin asked. "We don't have anything to share."

"I think you've already downed a few, Scott." Hunter commented.

"I wish." Scott said. "But my keeper over there won't let me."

"I don't want you to get yourself in trouble again." Kevin said.

"I'm not going to get myself in trouble, I can handle a little alcohol." Scott said.

"What makes now so different from before?" Kevin asked.

"You don't have to remind me of the past, I know what I've done." Scott stated.

"Ok, that's enough of this subject." Hunter intervened. "Neither of you want to say something that you'll regret."

"Truce?" Kevin asked.

"Truce." Scott replied.

"Good." Hunter said. "Now, can we watch the rest of Raw without any more fighting?"

"We already called a truce, what more do you want?" Scott asked.

"Ok." Hunter replied.

"Alright, hello?" Jade said. "I'm in pain here and do any of you care? I don't think so."

"We're sorry." Scott said. "We'll hang our heads in shame now."

"Of course we care." Hunter said and went over and sat next to her on the couch. "We'll pay attention to you now that those two are done."

Vince barged into the locker room. "Where is she?"

Jade raised her hand. "Right here."

"You." Vince said, pointing to her. "I said to be good, not murderous."

"Is she alright?" Jade asked.

"She's at the hospital with bruised ribs." Vince replied.

"Then I wasn't murderous." Jade commented. "If I was murderous, she would be dead right now."

"Shut up." Vince yelled.

"Ow, don't yell, I have a headache." Jade stated.

"Which one of you put her up to it?" Vince asked the guys.

"We had nothing to do with it, brother." Hogan said.

Hunter chuckled. "It was fun though, seeing Stephanie get exactly what she deserves."

Flair walked in. "Wooo, you know I don't like the nWo, but that was one great finish to the match."

"That's just like you Flair." Vince said. "Condoning the destruction of innocent females."

"Wooo, your daughter is in no way, shape or form innocent, McMahon." Flair stated.

"I'm going to do you a favour and pretend I didn't hear that, Flair." Vince stated. "And you Jade, you can kiss that contract goodbye."

"What?" Jade said. "But that's not fair."

"No it's not." Flair agreed. "So tell you what, if he fires you, wooo, I'm going to hire you right back."

"You don't care about fairness, Flair." Vince commented. "You're just doing this to spite me."

"Maybe so, but if I hire her, then there's nothing that you can do about it, McMahon." Flair said.

"So, do I still have a job?" Jade asked.

"Yeah, you do." Flair said. "And now that I've ruined your day, McMahon, I'm going to go take care of other business." He left the locker room.

Vince was not in a happy mood. "You're lucky." He said to Jade. "But tell me one thing, do you still have a headache?"

Jade nodded.

"Good." Vince walked out and slammed the door.

"Ow." Jade whined. She laid her head against Triple H's arm. "I really hate him."

"Now you're getting us in trouble too." Hogan said. "He thinks that we were your accomplices in a plan to kill his daughter."

"Oh well." Jade said. "Isn't that what the nWo is about, pissing off and not listening to the boss? Making our own rules?"

"She's got you there, Hulkster." Scott said. "Since when were we trying to be Vince's best buddies?"

"Fine, if you have no problems with getting yourselves fired." Hogan said.

"It wouldn't be the first time that I got myself fired." Scott stated.

They watched Raw for the next half hour in mostly silence. Hogan looked over at Jade, who still had her head on Hunter's shoulder.

"Jade." He said. "Come with me for a second, I want to talk to you."

"Do I have to?" She asked.

"Yes, come here." Hogan replied.

Jade got up and they left the locker room. "What do you want?" She asked.

"I told you that I didn't want you dating wrestlers." Hogan stated.

"Ok." Jade said. "And for once, so far I've listened to you."

"Then what's going on with Hunter?" He asked.

"Nothing, why do you think that something's going on with Hunter?" Jade replied.

"The guys told me that you spent a lot of time at Scott's with him." Hogan said. "And then you got everything that has happened tonight."

"He's a friend." Jade answered. "And even if he was more, it wouldn't be any of your business anyway."

"So he is then." Hogan said.

"No, he isn't." Jade replied. "God, why can't you just trust me for once?"

"Fine." Hogan said. "I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now."

***

After everyone had gone back to the hotel and were in their rooms, Jade had gone to Hunter's, she wanted to ask him something.

"What was going on with Scott and Kevin earlier tonight?" She asked.

"You mean about the drinking?" He said.

She nodded.

"Well, you know that they're best friends and have been for years." He said. "With what happened while they were both employed by the WCW with Scott's problems, Kevin stuck up for him with the staff and encouraged them to help him and not fire him. He also was trying to help Scott with his problems, but he didn't listen and eventually, they led to him getting fired. I don't think that Kevin has ever fully forgiven him for that."

Jade sat down. "Ok, so he's trying to make sure that he doesn't make that same mistake now?"

Hunter sat down beside her. "Maybe. I've seen self-destructive people like Scott was, it's not good to just let it happen. That may be why I was trying so hard with you."

"Well, if it's any encouragement, I haven't cut myself since you caught me." Jade stated.

He looked at her. "Good, at least I know that I'm not doing it all for nothing." He leaned towards her and kissed her.
