just borrowing the characters.
Author's Note: So, I got some interesting questions the other night and I thought I would clarify them for everyone. Raven is gonna be in this story.. I promise. Faith is going to be paired with someone, haven't really gotten that far in my thought process yet, but if anyone has suggestions, I am willing to hear them. And, although I'm in love with B/A, this will not be a B/A get together in the end type of story. They may come out as friends, but that's all I'm promising on that front.
Chapter 10
"Have you heard?" Nash asked Buffy and Faith as they entered the arena for RAW, Vince wanted to show off the two new diva's by having them go to Smackdown sometime time, most likely that week.
"Have we heard what?" Buffy asked, eyeing the man who was slowly creeping his way into her blood stream, like a drug.
"Rumours have it that the Rock is returning tonight." Nash said and the two women looked confused.
"Who or what is the Rock?" Faith asked, never noticing Foley walking behind them.
"The People's Champion." Foley told the two girls that had saved his hide on more than one occasion. "I want to let you know that Evolution will be calling me out tonight and I've got a surprise for them."
"Don't want us to come out to ringside." Buffy guessed and Foley shook his head in disagreement.
"I want you to escort me to ringside," Foley said and the two divas smiled thinking of all the horrible things that they could do to Evolution, "but I don't want you to do anything." Buffy and Faith pouted at this, causing Nash and Foley to laugh.
"Don't you have a match tonight?" Nash asked Buffy, who nodded slowly.
"Sorry, Mic," Buffy told him apologetically, "I have a match right after your sit down, that I have to get ready for."
"I got you covered." Faith said and Mic nodded.
"Thanks." He said and then looked at Nash, "Aren't you facing the Dudley boys?"
"Yea," Nash replied, making a face, "Bischoff still hasn't decided on who my partner is going to be." Bischoff had been making allot of surprise matches, pitting a lot of wrestlers against Kane, trying to boost his ratings.
"Tough break." Foley said, waving bye as he went to the dressing room, Nash following suite.
"I want the match." Faith and Buffy heard Kane demand as they walked around the corner to the dressing room. Kane had Bischoff backed into a corner and against the wall, hands on either side of his head. "He interfered with my match and made me lose." Faith looked to Buffy for clarification, who just shrugged and they continued to listen, "against a girl!" the two divas almost laughed at that declaration, like it was so horrible to loose to a girl.
"Alright, Kane." Bischoff said, "Calm down, you can have the match against Chris Jericho." Buffy and Faith stopped dead in their tracks, Kane would take Jericho and snap him in two, just because he could and they couldn't do a damned thing about it. Kane sadistically smiled and left the room, leaving a very happy Bischoff behind.
"I want a shot at the Women's title." Molly demanded storming into the room, almost slamming the door in Stone Cold's face, who just stood in the background and watched Bischoff work. Bischoff floundered for words to tell Molly that she couldn't have her shot and Stone Cold could see this, deciding that Bischoff needed to learn to exhibit some sort of control of the wrestlers.
"You're going to have to put something on the line." Stone Cold said, "I mean Jazz is putting her title on the line, what are you going to put on the line?" Molly looked at Stone Cold confused as to what was going on, Steve picked up a piece of her hair and pretended to examine it, "How about your hair?"
"My hair?"
"Ya," Stone Cold replied getting into it. "If you win you get the belt," Molly smiled in satisfaction, she could almost feel the belt in her hands, "But if you lose, you shave your hair off."
"But I'll be a bald freak!" Molly stated and then stared at Stone Cold, "not like there is anything wrong with being bald or anything." Stone Cold quirked an eyebrow and waited for her to continue, "I'll do it."
"And that's how you get things done." Stone Cold rubbed in, leaving Bischoff behind him, as Christian came storming in.
"I think that Jericho and I deserve a chance at the Tag Team belts." Christian said and Bischoff saw his chance to take his aggression out on someone.
"I don't particularly like Jericho," Bischoff began and Christian looked unsurprised by this admission, "and I don't like you." Bischoff continued and Christian looked a little crest fallen at this news, "So, here's what I'm going to do for you." he smiled savagely, "you are going to be in a handicap match against Trish Stratus." a look of disbelief crossed Christian's face, before the cameras cut to the ring where Evolution, minus Triple H, were holding the crowds attention.
"Mic Foley," Orton began, "I know you're here and it's time for my bitch to come out and face the music." The crowd booed Evolution, but they weren't intimidated, their faces taking on a cocky and intimidating looks, they waited for Foley to walk out, but when he didn't they got a superior look.
"I knew that he was nothing but a chicken." Ric Flair said taking the mic from Orton, who grinned and nodded. They looked a bit shocked when Foley came down the ramp, entrance music blaring, and into the ring as bold as day, what got them was the stunning brunette coming down the ramp with him. They were wondering what Foley was up to bringing the newest diva down into the ring with him. They had heard that the Rock was supposed to be there tonight and they were disappointed that the Rock wasn't, because that meant they didn't get to kick his ass.
"I'm sure you've all heard the rumors," Orton said to the crowd, Foley and Faith in the other corner of the ring, "that the Rock is going to come out and kick our," he pointed to Evolution and himself, "ass's." the crowd cheered and began to chant Rocky. "But I don't see him here."
"Orton," Foley said interrupting the man before he could say anything else, "Why don't you look a little harder?" Orton looked around the arena, his gaze settling back on Foley and Faith.
"All's I see is a washed up legend," Orton said, the crowd booing "and his whore." Faith took a step forward, but was stopped by the sudden playing of entrance music. Faith looked confused, but the crowd got to it's feet and cheered as a young man came running down the ramp, hurtling into the ring. Faith took a step back and watched as the two men took on Evolution, kicking them out of the ring and watching as Evolution ran up the ramp like scolded dogs.
"Mic came to me," the Rock began picking up the mic that had been dropped on the ground when Evolution beat their hasty retreat, "and he told me what's been going on here," the crowd cheered, "and I knew that I could not let this guy insult our national treasure like that." the crowd cheered, "so I said Rock you need to go and help your friend Mic and so I drove down here to kick some ass."
"Does he always talk about himself in the third person?" Faith asked Mic, who let out a shout of laughter, bring the Rock's attention to the two of them.
"And then they insulted this beautiful lady," he pointed to Faith, who quirked an eyebrow and looked him over, Rock held her gaze for a moment recognizing the predatory gleam that was in them, before turning back to the crowd. "And so, Mic and I are going to take on Orton and Batista at Wrestle Mania." the crowd went wild, screaming and cheering, "Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?" The three left the ring, the Rock and Foley holding the rope as Faith slipped through and made their way up the ramp.
"So you're the Rock." Faith stated as they walked up the ramp, she eyed him carefully. "Any particular reason?" the Rock flushed slightly at the attention that he was getting from the brunette, when Bischoff walked into them as he made his way to the ring. "What a rude little man."
"Like he's got an emu stuck up his ass." Buffy said as Nash and her walked up to them. Buffy looked at the Rock, Mic, and then Faith waiting for an introduction. When she could see that one was not coming, she sighed and stuck out her hand. "Hi, I'm Buffy."
"The Rock." He replied and shook her hand, wondering why Evolution seemed so terrified of this tiny lady. He looked her over carefully and Buffy briefly wondered if she had something on her, but shook her head, deciding that Faith would have told her that, at least.
"Any particular reason?" Buffy asked and for the second time that night, the Rock turned a shade of red, causing both girls to start laughing. Before they could tease the Rock even more, the cameras cut to Bischoff standing in the middle of the ring and looking kind of nervous.
"The match originally scheduled for right now has been cancelled." Bischoff said and the crowd booed, they had wanted to see Buffy in action once again.
"What is that little Nazi up to?" Buffy muttered causing everyone to laugh, especially Faith, since she knew who Buffy was talking about.
"Instead Jericho will be facing Kane." Bischoff dropped the mic like it had bitten him and ran from the ring, before Jericho could walk out and kick his ass. Lily held back a chuckle as she stepped into the ring and picked up the fallen mic.
"This match is scheduled for a one fall. Introducing first Chris Jericho." Lily said and the crowd cheered as his entrance music kicked in and he began to walk down the ramp. Getting into the ring, Jericho waved to the crowd from all four corners, before settling in the far left hand corner as he waited for Kane. "And introducing his opponent, Kane." Kane came out as soon as his music was up and running. He sauntered to the ring and smiled as Lily beat a hasty retreat out of the ring. He climbed over the ropes and into the ring, his smile growing more malicious with each step.
Kane and Jericho circled each other slowly, Kane giving Jericho a false sense of security, before going in for the kill. Jericho attempted to move as Kane grabbed him by the arm and flung him at the rope, before close lining him as he came back towards Kane. Jericho staggered to his feet, his back to Kane, grabbing the ropes for support, when Kane picked him up and body slammed him to the mat. Kane didn't even attempt to hold Jericho to the mat, but rather let Jericho get back up and stumble around. Kane moved to close line Jericho once again, but Jericho ducked out of the way and kicked Kane on the lower back, sending him in to the ropes.
Kane moved like an enraged bull, turning on Jericho and moving as quickly as possible. Grabbing Jericho, he readied Jericho for a tombstone, which he promptly did. While Jericho was still affected by the move, Kane grabbed Jericho's leg and dragged him to the side of the ring, where he wrapped Jericho's legs around the pole and got a chair. Taking careful aim, Kane swung the chair with as much force as possible onto Jericho's leg, jerking Jericho awake with the pain he was feeling. Kane did this once again, as the bell rang and Lily announced that Kane had been disqualified.
Before Kane could hit Jericho again, he felt something tap him on the shoulder, before he could even turn the tall brunette diva spun Kane and sent him stumbling back, as Trish went to check on Jericho. Kane was pushed further back, as Faith grabbed the chair from his hands and hit him with it, repeatedly. Admitting defeat, Kane took off up the ramp, only to be stopped as lightening streaked across the arena sky and rain began to fall.
"You okay?" Trish asked Jericho as the paramedics made their way to the ring.
"Ya." he replied, "Thanks for coming out." he brushed her hair back from her face and placed his hand behind her neck, dragging her forward as he captured her lips.
"Break it apart love birds." Faith said amusement lacing her voice. "The paramedics want a look at lover boy." The two broke their kiss apart and flushed as what Faith said penetrated their brains. Trish swatted at Faith who danced out of the way, a huge smile gracing her face. They walked up the ramp with Jericho as he was wheeled out of the arena on a Gurney.
"Good luck." he told Trish, as they reached the ambulance.
"I'll be there as soon as my match is over." she told him as Faith dragged her off, back towards the arena. Faith wanted to see Nash in action against the Dudley boys, since she hadn't had the chance, as of, yet to see him go against anyone.
"As you know," Bischoff began, "The Dudley boys will be facing Nash and an unknown partner." the crowd cheered, "it is with great pleasure that I announce this unknown partner." the crowd was silent, waiting on baited breath for Bischoff's announcement. "The Dudley boys will be facing Nash and.." he paused for a moment letting the tension rise, "Raven!" the crowd went nuts, split down the middle between cheering and booing as Bischoff left the ring.
"Introducing first the Dudley boys!" Lily announced, the Dudley boy music coming on right away as they came down the ramp. They entered the ring and took different corners, standing on the ropes as the crowd cheered. "Introducing Nash!" Nash walked out slowly, walking down the ramp, but not entering the ring as the Dudley boys eyed him, as though sizing him up for a table, "And Raven!" the crowd cheered loudly as Raven came out, Lily exciting the ring quickly, as the ref took his place. Nash watched as Raven approached, he was unsure of whose side that Raven was really on, but before he could meditate too much on it, Bischoff came back out.
"Did I forget to mention that this is table's match?" Bischoff smirked as he sauntered back off stage, the ref quickly following Bischoff's leave. The Dudley boys smiled as Bischoff mentioned this, Devon immediately exiting the ring and going under it to get a table. Setting the table on the side of the ring, Devon went back under and began to pull another one out. Nash stepped out of the ring leaving Raven and Bubba Ray in the ring with each other. Raven didn't wait for Bubba to make a move, but rather struck first, sliding on his knees and grabbing Bubba's knees throwing Bubba over his shoulder and jumping back to his feet. As Bubba started to come to his feet, Raven climbed to the top rope waiting for Bubba to turn around, he crouched low on the rope. Bubba came to his feet turning around in time to see Raven go flying off the tope rope and into him. Bubba landed on the ground with Raven on top of him, stunned, as Raven tagged Nash.
Nash flew into the ring, close lining Bubba as he came to a stand, dropping to his elbow he landed on Bubba's chest, before jumping back to his feet. He could see Raven taking and setting up a table on the outside of the ring, only to be hit on the back of the head from Devon. Nash focused his attention on Bubba, who was slowly coming back to his feet.
Raven fell forward onto the table that he had just set up. He rolled off the other side just in time to see Devon go to jump on him. Devon hit the table, but managed not to go through it, cracking the table and slid off the other end landing on the ground. Devon could feel the pain coursing through his body as he hit the ground. Devon never noticed as Raven approached him picking him up and body slamming him into the table.
Nash could see that Raven had already thrown Devon through the table, but neither man was the correct man. Grabbing Bubba, Nash picked him up over his head and walked towards the ropes, his intent clear. Bubba struggled, but after being thrown around the ring, he wasn't doing that well. Bubba could see Devon lying in the table and realized what Nash was about to do, he braced himself as much as possible as he felt Nash let go and he went through the air and into Devon, through the table.
"Winners Nash and Raven!" the crowd cheered, Nash and Raven walking up the ramp and waving as they went.
"Raven!" Buffy hollered giving the other man a hug, "Good to see you again." Raven hugged the tiny blonde back, before turning his attention to the brunette standing next to her. "This is Faith. Faith this is Raven." Faith looked Raven over and licked her lips.
"Pleasure," she purred out, walking around him and looking him over.
"Is all mine." Raven responded, he kissed the back of her hand and Faith actually blushed, causing Buffy to laugh. "Where's Trish?"
"She's about to fight Christian." Buffy replied nervously, unsure of Raven's reaction to the news.
"Bischoff?"
"Bischoff." they all confirmed for him and his mouth set grimly as he thought of ways to torture their Co-Manager.
"This match has been scheduled for a one fall. Introducing first, Trish Stratus!" Lily announced and Trish came out, shaking hands on the way down to the ring, where she chatted with Lily for a few moments. "And her opponent Christian!" the crowd booed as he came down. Lily moved to get out of the ring, but he stopped her.
"I would like forfeit the match to Trish." Christian said and the crowd cheered, Trish gave him a hug and turned her back on him to wave to the crowd.
"And the winner is Trish Stratus!" Lily said, letting out a gasp of surprise as Christian picked up Trish and body slammed her into the mat and then once again. He moved to hit her again, but was stopped by someone who spun him around and pushed him away from Trish.
"What are you doing here?" Christian asked as he came face to face with Jericho. "You're supposed to be at the hospital."
"You were supposed to be looking after Trish for me." Jericho replied, punching Christian and sending him back. Jericho followed Christian to the mat, punching as they went down, until Christian wasn't moving, a bloody heap on the mat. "And in case I forgot to mention, we are over!"
Author's Note: So, I got some interesting questions the other night and I thought I would clarify them for everyone. Raven is gonna be in this story.. I promise.

Lily announced and Trish came out, shaking hands on the way down to the ring, where she chatted with Lily for a few moments. "And her opponent Christian!" the crowd booed as he came down. Lily moved to get out of the ring, but he stopped her.
"I would like forfeit the match to Trish." Christian said and the crowd cheered, Trish gave him a hug and turned her back on him to wave to the crowd.
"And the winner is Trish Stratus!" Lily said, letting out a gasp of surprise as Christian picked up Trish and body slammed her into the mat and then once again. He moved to hit her again, but was stopped by someone who spun him around and pushed him away from Trish.
"What are you doing here?" Christian asked as he came face to face with Jericho. "You're supposed to be at the hospital."
"You were supposed to be looking after Trish for me." Jericho replied, punching Christian and sending him back. Jericho followed Christian to the mat, punching as they went down, until Christian wasn't moving, a bloody heap on the mat. "And in case I forgot to mention, we are over!"
