A/N: As you read, I should explain the last part of Benoit/Brock interaction... I threw that in, because Benoit's 'real' wife (ya know, in that so-called 'reality' thing) was originally someone else's valet and stuff. And Benoit stole her (and ended up stealin' her heart too, that crazy Cannuk!) So, in this reality, she was still someone he stole, but only as girlfriend status. Confusion over? Good. I still own no one. Now the story is kinda moving along. Rock on!
Chapter 3
The large crowd grew quiet. Benoit took that as a sign that Stephanie was being brought in. He moved away from Shane and tried to get closer up.
Edge, Angle, and Cena were walking with Stephanie. She was laid out on a stretcher, but she motioned Edge closer to her. He leaned down and put his ear to her mouth. He nodded and the attendants kept on walking with her, out to the parking lot that Benoit was just standing in.
Kurt seemed to be yelling at Edge, but instead of yelling back -like Benoit would have done,- Edge just rolled his eyes.
It seemed like Kurt was mad that Stephanie talked to Edge and not to him. Kurt was even pouting. Benoit snorted, and tried desperately to hold his laughter in. But, that only caused Kurt's attention to be drawn to the smirking Rabid Wolverine. The two enemies glared daggers at each other. Edge noticed this, and before anymore blood could be shed, he cleared his throat and yelled for silence.
As the wrestlers slowly became silent, Edge looked around and declared, "Stephanie told me that the show must go on. So, Nidia and Torrie, go get ready. Your match will be as soon as the ..mess.. is cleaned up out on the stage. Someone, preferably someone strong of heart, go tell Undertaker, that under Stephanie's orders, he needs to get ready. And, please! Make sure you knock before hand! Do -not- just barge in! Matt, you... I don't know.. Just go get your Mattitude ready for your match. Kurt and I will go to the hospital---"
"And me." Benoit called out, walking closer to Edge.
Edge lowered his sunglasses to the bridge of his nose. He stared at Benoit for a few seconds, and then he nodded. "All right, Benoit too. Save it for later, Kurt." Edge said without even looking over at Angle, whose mouth was open in protest. "Shannon and Shane, you guys check on Chuck. D-von and Chavo, you check on Billy. The rest of you guys, stay on alert for more RAW interference. In case there is anymore attacks, I'm leaving Rey and Cena in charge. Kidman, Noble? Watch out for your women during their match. The Island Boyz might come out and attack them too."
The large crowd slowly spread apart so that each person could go to their posts. This left Kurt, Edge, Benoit and Brock Lesnar alone. Brock was all by himself, which meant Heyman was probably some where counting his money. He moved closer to Edge, the unofficial leader of the group. "Find out how Stephanie is, and tell her I'm sorry I couldn't be there for her."
Kurt was the only one who looked away from Brocks intense glare. Edge nodded and asked, "You aren't coming?"
Brock broke into a large smile, "I've still got some... unfinished business to take care of."
Benoit smirked, "Don't do anything I would do."
"Fine. Then, I won't try and steal Sara away from Undertaker," and with that, he left before Benoit could respond.
"He kinda scares me," Kurt said once Brock left.
Benoit snorted, "The tooth fairy scares you, Kurt."
"Tooth, -eh?-" Kurt mocked.
Edge sighed, "Listen Benoit--I can put my hatred of Kurt aside,"
"Hey!"
"Because right now, we need to figure out a way to get to the hospital. I came in Matt's rental, and I doubt he'd be happy to find it gone once he's done with his match."
Kurt nodded, "And I came with Kidman and Torrie. That's an awful experience I never want to have to experience again. Three and a half hours of them making out...while driving!"
"Fine," Benoit sighed. "We'll take my rental. Let's grab our stuff and head out."
They went to the locker room and each man was lost in his own thoughts.
Edge's thought were that of pure fury, which unlike his companions, he was able to hide quite well. But, if anyone saw him without his sunglasses on, and looked into his eyes... They'd know.
His normally light grey eyes were currently dark and swirling.
All he felt was pure hatred towards the assholes who did this to poor Stephanie.
Over in Angle's head, Kurt was angry too. But, to a much lesser extent then Edge was.
He had been one of the first guys out to the ring. He had seen Stephanie in a way he had never seen her, in all the years he knew her. She looked lifeless and childlike, laying on the cold mat. This was Stephanie, his Stephanie, that he was talking about. The cold, callous, mean-spirited bitch who craved power and wealth. Yet that was the same person laying half-dead on the ring mat.
When he tried to help her up, she just looked at him dazed and then fainted again. He couldn't even try to feel any sort of anger like Edge was feeling, because he was just scared for Stephanie.
Benoit, on the other hand, was angry just like the other guys. But, at a different person. Himself.
He was mad and angry at himself for being outside blowing off some steam, while Stephanie went out into that ring, not knowing what she was getting into. If Benoit was inside and watching, the very first time the words; '3 minutes' were even finished being said, he would have ran faster then any Olympic speedster, to get to the ring in time.
He had dealt with Eric countless times, he should have been alert enough to have seen that trick coming. But, he didn't and because of that, she got hurt.
All because of him.
