A/N : Lots of altercations and lots of dialogue in this one,hope you all enjoy it.
Raw : 15-07-2002 Continuation.
"I cannot believe you two" Valerie yelled,making her own headache worse.
"Munchkin,you really should lie down" Kane said.
"I'm fine" Valerie hissed.
Kane nodded slowly but remained behind her just in case.Valerie glared at Brock and Taker back and forth before letting her eyes rest on her father.
"Why?.Why do you insist on fighting everyone I care about?" Valerie asked.
"I am only looking out for your best interest,this man is not in your best interest" Taker snarled,pointing at Brock.
"I thought you had accepted me having a boyfriend" Valerie said.
"I accepted Jeff Hardy,not him" Taker argued.
"Well sorry to disappoint you dad,but I'm not with Jeff anymore,I'm with Brock now" Valerie said.
"That's right,back off deadman" Brock said.
"Don't you start,you're no better than him right now" Valerie snapped at Brock.
Brock actually backed off when she said that.Valerie turned back to her father.
"Tonight was a perfect example of where your priorities lie,uncle Kane got me some much needed help because you were too busy fighting my boyfriend" Valerie said.
"As grateful as I am to Kane,it's not his responsibility" Taker said.
"He is my uncle" Valerie snapped.
"I am your father" Taker yelled.
"At least I can rely on uncle Kane,at least I know he'll put me first and not his ego" Valerie yelled.
"I always put you first" Taker said.
"No you don't,it's never been about me,it's always been about you.You don't like Brock,it doesn't matter that he makes me happy,it doesn't matter that he makes me feel good about myself because you don't like him" Valerie yelled.
"You should try seeing it from my point of view sometime" Taker hissed through clenched teeth.
"I would like to dad" Valerie hissed "but I don't think I can be that big of a..."
"Young lady" Taker growled in warning.
Valerie turned away from her father and then there was silence.
"Maybe we should stop this conversation before we say things we don't mean" Taker said after a while.
Valerie nodded.Taker briefly pecked Valerie on her forehead and left the room.Brock was still standing there.
"Should I go too?" Brock asked.
Valerie walked to him and kissed him on the lips.Then she nodded and stepped back.Brock walked out of the room and Kane and Valerie were left behind.Valerie walked to her uncle and Kane wrapped his massive arms around Valerie.Valerie sighed.
"I wish my dad could be more like you" Valerie said.
"I'm easier on you than your dad because I'm your uncle,if I were your dad I'd be just like him" Kane said.
"No you wouldn't be" Valerie said,freeing herself from her uncle's arms "You wouldn't try to pry me away from my boyfriend,you wouldn't think fighting my boyfriend is more important than taking me to safety..."
"Hey,that's not fair.You and I both know your dad loves you more than anything" Kane said.
"So he says" Valerie snapped.
As always,when Valerie had one of her outbursts,Kane was unfazed.
"I want you to be happy,so does your father.He just doesn't always agree with your choices" Kane said.
"More like 'he never agrees with my choices'" Valerie said softly.
Kane sighed and walked to Valerie,he wrapped his arms around her again and held her close.Valerie snuggled into his arms and smiled,no matter what happened,she'd always have her uncle.
Vengeance : 21-07-2002.
Detroit,Michigan at the Joe Louis Arena.
Benoit furiously wiped his eyes to clear his vision,both his partner Eddy Guerrero and the little Dudley runt,Spike had been eliminated.It was just Benoit and Bubba Ray Dudley.Benoit smirked a sick smile as he saw Bubba Ray stumbling to his feet.Benoit took Bubba Ray down with a clothesline and went up top.
When Benoit was about to jump,he felt a pressure in his back and he went tumbling towards the mat.Benoit scrambled to his feet but before he could see who pushed him he was met with Bubba Ray,who slammed him down in the Bubba Bomb.
Everything went black for a few seconds when he landed and he could vaguely hear the 3 count.Benoit got to his feet not long after and looked around,knowing that whoever did it was long gone.He scowled,whoever it had been would pay dearly.

Valerie smiled as Jackie Gayda crawled into the wrong corner.Being put in a handicap match against Jackie and Chris Nowinski had been an unpleasant surprise but Valerie found that as long as she kept Nowinski out of the ring she'd be fine.
Valerie managed to keep Jackie in the ring and Nowinski out and she won the match by pinfall.She got out of the ring and to the back before Nowinski could attack her.Because she left as quickly as possible,she failed to notice the smirk on Nowinski's face.As Valerie walked backstage she was met with a livid wolverine.Benoit cornered her and smirked:
"Little Valerie,what a pleasant surprise" Benoit spat mockingly.
"Can't you get a hobby or something?.Something other than bothering me?" Valerie asked.
Benoit ignored her question and said:
"So,little powderpuff thought it was funny to interfere in my match"
"You're one to talk.If it hadn't been for you I would have easily defeated Molly" Valerie spat back.
"Oh I don't think so,you're nothing but a spineless and useless little whore.You're not even close to being champion material" Benoit snarled.
"That's not what this tells me" Valerie said,pointing at her belt.
Benoit looked at the belt for a second and snorted.
"What about you Benoit?.Where's your title?" Valerie asked.
Benoit looked furious for a moment but he restrained himself and said:
"You're pathetic"
"I don't think so" Valerie said.
Benoit was now standing very close to Valerie and his nose touched hers.
"Prove me wrong" Benoit hissed.
Valerie went to hit him but he grabbed her arm and slammed her into the wall,oppressing her with his body weight.He looked her up and down making her feel dirty and rubbed his jaw along her jaw line.She shuddered and tried to push him away but he was far too strong.
He chuckled as she struggled and inhaled to smell her scent.Suddenly Benoit was pulled away from Valerie and there was a short but vicious fight before Benoit retreated.
"See you later,powderpuff" Benoit said to Valerie,smirking.
Kurt Angle looked at Valerie and asked:
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine,thanks to you"
Kurt looked sceptical and would probably have taken her to a doctor to be sure but Valerie smiled at Kurt to reassure him and it worked.If Kurt Angle had known Valerie a little better he would have known that the smile was far from sincere.

Valerie was a little shaken as she walked into the hallway but she quickly managed to shake it as she watched Chris Jericho lose to John Cena.She chuckled as she watched him go berserk.Poor Chrissy,lost to a rookie. John Cena was the first person who came into the back and Valerie smiled at him.
Her smile faded when he gave her body a praising look and she immediately decided she didn't like him.Chris Jericho came into the back next and he angrily stomped by Valerie,a camera right behind him.The fans cheered loudly as Valerie looked at him and chuckled.Jericho stopped walking,walked back and got into Valerie's face.
"And what the hell is so funny,huh?" Jericho hissed.
"You lost to a rookie" Valerie said chuckling.
Jericho growled as he saw Valerie smirking but decided to ignore what she said.He went to walk away but stopped when Valerie said:
"Good thing you're not undisputed champion anymore,huh?"
Jericho turned around to attack Valerie but Valerie had already left.He swore loudly as the fans laughed at him. Valerie smiled as she walked into the hallway,that had felt good,really good.Her smile widened when she saw the big man currently walking to her.Brock walked to Valerie and looked at her lovingly.Valerie's eyes softened and it was obvious that they were in love with eachother.Valerie put her arms around Brock and kissed him.
"Good luck in your match against RVD" Valerie said.
"You're all the luck I need,Babycakes" Brock said.
The crowd's cheered as Brock and Valerie kissed again before Brock went off for his match.Valerie watched the match in her lockerroom and was disappointed when it ended in a disqualification.Damn Paul Heyman. After watching most of the rest of the show,she found that she was hungry.
She got up and walked out of her room,it probably wasn't safe to walk around by herself but she was hungry and when she was hungry she took risks.She practically emptied the vending machine and walked back to her lockerroom.Valerie walked into the hallway where her lockerroom was and approached her door.
"Kiddo" a familiar gruff voice called.
Valerie turned around and smiled.
"Hey Hunter" she said
Valerie's smile faded when she saw who was walking next to Triple H.
"Shawn" Valerie said in acknowledgement.
Triple H threw Shawn a dark look when he didn't answer and Shawn reluctantly replied.
"Valerie" he said.
"So,Raw it is huh?" Valerie asked Triple H.
"Yep" Triple H said.
Valerie wanted to say "I'm beginning to think Smackdown would be a better choice" but instead she said:
"Good choice"

Valerie whistled a tune as she scrolled through her notebook.Her father had left the room to get them both some coffee and in all honesty she needed it.She had been jumpy all day and although her encounter with Chris Benoit and the Big Show were too good reasons,she couldn't quite explain the feeling.She was in her lockerroom,she was completely safe and yet she felt anything but safe.She glanced at the monitor and felt her heart almost stop when she saw who was walking down the ramp.
"Oh my god" she whispered.
Taker walked back into the room and placed the coffee on the table in front of Valerie.When he saw the look on her face,a look of sheer terror,he looked at the monitor and saw the cause of Valerie's fear.He quickly turned the monitor off and sat down next to Valerie.
He cradled her into his arms and held her while she cried,the memories of the night she had been kidnapped coming back to her.Valerie didn't notice when Kane came into the room,she didn't notice when Taker placed her in Kane's arms and she barely heard it when her uncle promised her no one was going to hurt her,all she knew was that Christian was back and her nightmare had just gotten worse.
