Yes I know I was supposed to have this out on Thursday but it's not too later rite and it's long again so yay me.

Thanks to my wonderful reviewers,

Lita was pacing back and forth in her hotel room, only stopping once in awhile to stare at Faith before continuing with her pacing. She had been doing this for the past hour and she was driving herself crazy. Finally there was a knock on the door and Lita ran to answer it.

"How did it go?" She stopped short when she realized it wasn't who she thought it was. She closed the door so Faith wasn't visible.

"What do you want?" She asked, her voice cold.

"I need to talk to her." Chris pleaded.

Lita shook her head. "No can do, she' sleeping. Besides, you might want to wait for awhile, she's pretty pissed."

Chris sighed and rubbed his jaw. "I know. Look, can you give her a message for me?"

Lita crossed her arms, waiting for him to continue.

"Just tell her I'm sorry."

Lita gaped at him. "That's it? Just, I'm sorry?"

"What else is there?"

Lita glanced behind to Faith before squeezing out the door and into the hall.

"I don't care how mad you were. What you did to Faith was wrong. I know you don't know everything about her past, but I do. Before I met Faith, my cousin Julie had told me about her. She hasn't had an easy time of it and she has major trust issues. From what Julie has told me, the fact that we were even able to become friends was an amazing feat. But you, she really liked you. She won't come out and admit it but it's so obvious. I saw how she was that week after you guys slept together and it hurt her so much."

"She was the one that left that day."

"Because she was scared. Any guys he's ever been with had been a one-night thing. She never actually liked any of them before and she regrets that now. She's never had anybody there for her but then you came along. But all that was changed the night you got drunk and talked her into drinking. She only drank hoping that it would get you out of here faster because she was worried about you."

Chris looked at her in shock as what she was saying began to sneak in.

"So here's some advice Chris, until you decide to act on your feelings, leave her alone. She's been through hell so many times in her life. Faith isn't one for emotions but I've seen her cry and it's always because of you. So do something before you come and screw with her mind again."

Lita opened the door and slipped in, closing it in Chris' face. She looked at Faith but there was no change. Sighing, she took up her pacing again until there was another knock on the door five minutes later.

"I told you to go away, she's-" She stopped as she opened the door, coming face to face with Edge.

"Actually, you told me to come here." Edge said, confused.

"Sorry." She apologized. "I thought you were Chris."

"What happened? I mean I saw what happened in the ring, tat was a crazy right hook."

It's a long story." Lita sighed, opening the door further."

"How is she?" Edge asked, stepping into the room.

Lita gestured to the bed Faith was on.

"What's wrong?"

"She's catatonic. She hasn't talk or even focused on me since we left the arena. I've tried everything."

Edge sighed. "Lita, I need you to tell me everything."

"I can't."

"Why?"

"It's not my place."

Edge's next sigh was one of frustration. "Lita, if you want to help her, you have to tell me."

She hesitated before finally nodding. "I'll tell you what I can but you can't interrupt until I'm done, it's a little hard to believe."

Edge nodded, sitting on Lita's bed.

"Remember that night when we first met Faith?"

He nodded.

"When we were on our way home and you had briefly passed out, we were attacked by Vampires."

"Vampires?"

She nodded, "Vampires. We were saved by someone known as the Slayer...."

Lita went on to tell him about Slayers, how it went from one girl to two, then to many worldwide. She told him that demons and such were real and it was a Slayers job to stop it. She told him her cousin was one of the many activated but Faith was one of the original two. She listed off the skills and special traits a Slayer, possessed. She explained what had happened with Kane and how she and Chris were the only ones to know about Faith. She finished off by telling him a little about Faith's past with her parents and how she was left with major trust issues that had given her a wild streak, leaving her with no friends and many one night stands with guys most girls wouldn't be caught dead with. But she made sure to tell him that Faith had been trying hard to change and doing well with only one minor setback, the night with Chris.

She didn't tell him about her jail time or the reason for it.

"But Jericho likes her." Edge said.

"I know. She likes him too; it's obvious, just not to them. That night they slept together, they were drunk and Faith doesn't drink anymore, too afraid of falling back into old habits. Waking up beside Chris was such a shock for her, she felt like a slut. She was so scared, she booked it from his room with only the sheet, She was that devastated."

Edge glanced over at Faith. "She's had it bad."

Lita nodded in greeting.

"Okay, but why did she freak after the whole Trish and Tomko thing?"

Lita hesitated, wondering how much she should say. "Look, she'll be pissed by what I'm saying, I only know because of my cousin."

"I just want to help." Edge said. "I've sat here and listened to you tell me things that are damn near impossible but I'm going along with it because I saw her face tonight, I felt her emotions and if there is anything I can do to help, then I will."

"Everything I told you is the truth, no matter how off it seems." She assured him. "I'm sure she'll love to demonstrate when...."

She trailed off, turning to stare at her dark haired friend who was still staring straight ahead at nothing.

"Look, what I'm about to tell you, only I know, once again cause of Julie. Chris has no idea, it's up to Faith to tell him, I'm just telling you so you can help."

"Why not ask Jericho?" edge asked.

Lita turned to stare at him. "Are you serious? Remember how pissed off she was. Do you think you could've held her back much longer?"

"No." Admitted Edge.

"Exactly." Lita replied. "Slayer equals super strength. A long time ago, Faith accidentally hurt someone. A human and she regret it. She has to live with that everyday and it hurts her. She was already pissed about Chris and she was just trying to help me. I guess when she heard Trish, she snapped, wasn't in her right mind when she started in on them. That's why she was freaking after."

Edge was silent, taking it all in.

"So Kane-"

"Isn't human. He did break her back and knew she was a Slayer."

He pointed to her stomach. "So that means?"

Lita put a protective hand on her abdomen. "So not the topic. But here's hoping I'm not impregnated by some demon spawn. Faith's thinking I'm not, hoping it's impossible."

Edge was silent again as he stared off into space.

"Wow." He said finally, giving his head a shake.

"That's it?" Lita asked. "Wow?"

He nodded. "Yup, what more can I say?"

Lita just shook her head. Turning to Faith, she knelt in front of her. "Faith, sweetie, can you hear me?"

Faith looked straight ahead.

"I don't know what to do." Tears came to Lita's eyes as she stared at Faith.

Edge came and knelt down beside Lita.

"Hey Liz girl. How bout you come out so we can talk?"

Still there was nothing.

"Faith, we just want to talk, we're not mad at you." Lita said.

Edge agreed. "Yeah, what happened to you was an accident, no one blames you."

All was silent and the two had given up, but then they heard a small voice.

"I'm a horrible person."

The two turned back but Faith was still sitting there, staring blankly ahead.

"No, no you're not. You're not a horrible person."

Again silence until the tiny voice came again. If Lita wasn't watching, she would think she was hearing these comments in her mind.

"Buffy thinks so, they all think so."

"Buffy's wrong." Lita said. "Buffy never tried to get to know you. We did and we don't think you're horrible."

"Lita's right." Edge said quietly. "Whatever this Buffy person has told you, isn't true. What happened today, happens all the time, trust me. The fans will just love you more for it."

"I hit Chris."

"He deserved it." Lita said. "C'mon Faith, please just look at us."

Edge reached a hand up, gently touching Faith's cheek. He felt the shock go through him again and it was only seconds until her eyes snapped back into focus and she looked down at him.

"Empathic." She said, staring intently at him.

"What?" Edge asked, looking surprised.

"My first watcher was Empathic."

"Meaning what?"

"Earlier, you were saying you felt my emotions. Just now you felt them."

"That's what it's called?"

"You could always do that?"

"Off and on. More so with certain people."

"What's going on?" Lita finally interrupted them. "One minute, she's catatonic, the next she's talking about you being empathic."

"I'm sorry." Faith whispered to Lita.

Lita waved the apology off, gathering her into a big hug. "I'm just glad you're okay."

"Me too." Edge seconded.

Faith looked at him, "Can you do it only by touch?"

"Depends on the person. With you, I sensed it, it's how I came across you and Lita, and it was strong. But when I touch you it's even stronger."

Edge's face became thoughtful. "How did you know?"

"When you touched me, I could feel you. It was the same way with my watcher."

He nodded. "So how do you feel?"

"Fine." She lied.

"Your back?"

"Five by five."

"What does that mean?" Edge asked Lita.

She shrugged. "I think good."

"Thanks for the help." Faith told them standing up. "I'm gonna go patrol."

She moved towards the door, only to have herself picked up by Edge.

"No you're not, you're going to sleep."

Faith snorted. "What are you, my mother?"

Edge laughed. "No, but we'll keep you here. Can your really get past both of us?"

"Edge." Lita interrupted them. "She can."

"Oh." He said. "Then I'm gonna ask you not to go."

Faith stared at him then looked to Lita who nodded in agreement.

"Fine." She gave in, sitting back down on the bed. "But I warn you, I get cranky."

"We'll deal." Lita said, flopping down on the bed beside her.

They both looked up at Edge.

"I was just going back to my room." He explained.

The girls shook their heads and Faith patted the bed beside her.

"Please?" She said.

He sat down beside her and picked up the remote. "Fine, but I get to choose the movie."

They agreed and they settled in for a night of movies.

Faith woke up the next morning with an arm around her. Frantically, she thought back to the night before, trying to remember what happened.

Opening her eyes, she saw Lita in front of her, meaning it was Edge with his arm around her and she hadn't done anything stupid but they must be uncomfortable as they were all squished on one bed.

She felt a small shock go through her and she sighed.

"Good morning." She said.

"Sorry." Edge replied, pulling his arm away.

"S'okay." She said rolling over to face him. "Nothing like someone reading your emotions to get you going in the morning."

He let out a soft chuckle. "Liz-"

"You can call me Faith."

He nodded. "Last night, Lita said some things."

"I know, and it's cool." She sat up, stretching her arms. "I'm going out for a run, I have too much energy. Care to join me?"

"Why not." Edge replied, standing up and helping her to her feet. "I need to stop by my room first. What about Lita?"

Faith shrugged. "Let her sleep, she needs it. How bout we meet downstairs in ten?"

"Works for me."

She walked him to the door and opened it, only to find Chris there, his hand poised to knock.

"Faith." He cried.

The smile left her face as she glared at him.

"We need to talk." He continued.

"How bout no." She replied.

"Come one Faith."

Edge stepped out from behind the door. "Just leave her alone man."

Chris looked back and forth between the two.

"So I see." He said his lips twisting into a sneer. "You've fallen back onto old habits, huh?"

"What are you talking about?" Faith asked, annoyed.

"Lita told me you've had your share of one night stands, see you're still up to your old tricks."

Faith's head snapped back as though she had been slapped. Without another word, she turned and went back into her room, leaving both guys outside.

"You're an idiot." Edge said, shaking his head.

"I'm an idiot? You just slept with my girl."

"First off, I didn't sleep with her. Lita's in that room too, we fell asleep watching movies. Second, she's not your girl. You were an asshole and she hit you. Nice bruise by the way."

Edge pushed past Jericho, thinking about how stupid the guy could be sometimes.

"You didn't have to get your own room because of me." Faith told Edge, as they stood across from one another in the ring.

"Jericho's being an idiot. When he stops, I'll start sharing a room with him again."

Faith nodded in understanding. "Okay, so why are we here?"

"Because I want to win at Vengeance." He replied.

"And I'm here because...?"

"I need to train and you're strong, I'm sure you'll be a challenge."

"Finally." Faith yelled, throwing her arms up. "Someone who understands what my strength means."

Edge gave her a big smile. "How's your back?"

"Completely healed, so don't go easy."

"Don't plan on it." He yelled, running at her.

She easily stepped out of the way, grabbing his waist as he went by.

"What about me?" she asked, swinging him around to face her.

Edge gaped at her, he hadn't even seen her move.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Enough to challenge me."

"Fine." She let out a dramatic sigh. "I'll actually let you hit me sometimes."

"This is hilarious, he's training with a chick."

They both turned to see Randy Orton laughing at them.

"Yeah." Faith replied. "That way, he'll know what's it's like to fight a girl.

Edge laughed as Orton spluttered at her.

"You stupid bitch." Was the best eh could come up with.

"Yeah, heard that one before. You and Batista share a brain?"

Edge was holding his sides.

"Shut up." Orton roared. "At least I'm not the one training with a girl."

"See I shouldn't be a problem but once he beats me then we know for sure he'll beat you." Faith said with a big innocent smile.

Edge was on his knees, laughing.

Orton had nothing else to say so he fingered them before turning and walking away.

"Faith, one. Dumb ape number two, zero."

"You're a riot." Edge said, after she helped him up. "What are you doing on Sunday?"

"At Vengeance?"

He nodded.

"I dunno. I don't think I'll be walking Chris out. I guess I'll be sticking close to Lita. She'll be out there during the match with Matt and Kane but I don't think I'll go out there. "

"Walk out with me?"

"What?" She asked, surprised.

"I want that belt, I want that match. You think Orton will play fair to keep it?"

She shook her head.

"Then walk out with me." He pleaded. "I know you can handle yourself and you'll be fine out there."

Faith didn't hesitate before answering. "Yeah, I'll do it."

"Great." He yelled, picking her up and spinning her around.

"My turn?" She asked with an evil grin, reaching out to pick him up.

"Oh hell no." he replied, backing up.

The door to the gym slammed open and Chris stomped by them, ignoring them. Immediately, the grin on her face dropped.

"You miss him, huh?" Edge quietly asked.

"What? No. Not at all."

"You suck at lying."

She turned and gave him a sad smile. "That's funny, I used to be really good at it."

"My first pay-per-view." Faith announced with a big smile.

"I'm sure there will be lots more." Lita said checking herself in the mirror.

"Do you really have to go down there?" Faith asked, worry etched in her voice.

"Yes, I do." Lita replied. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"It would be better if I could go with you, I don't want anything to happen."

"It won't." Lita assured he new, but close friend. "Kane won't touch me, but you're a different story."

Flipping her hair back, she grinned at Faith. "Wish me luck."

Faith stood and gave the red head a hug. Yes an actual hug. She felt close to Lita. Actually trusted her.

"I'll be watching, if anything happens-"

"I know, you'll be down there faster then anyone can say Litacanrana."

Faith nodded. "And none of those, you have a baby to protect." She patted her friend's stomach before stepping out into the hall with her.

"Where are you going?" Lita asked.

"Edge's locker room."

"Good, he'll hold you back."

"Not if I don't want to be held back. Just be careful, kay? I don't trust Kane."

"You and me both." Lita muttered, pulling Faith into one last hug. "I'll be fine."

She pulled away and left faith standing there. When Lita was out of sight, Faith ran into Edge's room, threw the door open and parked herself in front of the monitor.

"You could've at least knocked."

She turned to see Edge about to take his pants off.

"Sorry." Faith replied, turning back to the monitor.

"You're not going to leave so I can change, are you?"

"Nope." She called back.

Edge sighed and gathered up his stuff.

"I'm not going to turn around."

"It's okay I have to go to the bathroom anyways."

"Have it your way." She said as he left.

The match started and Faith was a nervous wreck. Lita had become really close to her. She wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for the red head. She probably would've taken off after that night with Chris. Now, she was worried for the well being of her friend and the life she had in her womb.

"How's it going?" Edge asked, sitting down beside her.

She let out what he thought was some kind of grunt. Shrugging his shoulders, he turned to watch the match.

Many times he had to hold Faith back. Well, he didn't so much hold her back as talk her down. The ending of the match was the worst. Kane grabbed the steel steps, intending to use them on Hardy. Lita jumped in between and Faith was at the door.

"He won't hurt her." Edge called to her. "Watch."

Faith looked back at the monitor to see Kane lower the steps and move Lita out of the way.

It gave Matt a chance as he hit Kane with the steps and a steel chair, pinning him for the three count.

Faith cheered as a beaming Lita walked up the ramp.

"See it al worked out."

Faith rolled her eyes at Edge. "Right, like you weren't nervous."

"Not at all." He replied, leaning back in his chair."

"Liar." Faith said. "I'm gonna change and grab Lita, we'll be back after."

He nodded and Faith happily left his room. As she passed a hallway, she glanced down it to see Chris jumping on the balls of his feet as he warmed up. Without realizing it, she stopped to watch him.

"Faith." He smiled when he noticed her.

She didn't return it as she contemplated what to do.

"Are you here to walk me out?"

She scowled at him. "No wouldn't want to cost you your precious match."

She continued on to her room, putting on a smile when she saw Lita.

"Good job." She said." If I ignore you getting into the ring."

"jeez, you sound like Matt. He asked me not to get involved like that."

"So you talked to him?" faith asked.

Lita nodded. "Yeah but that's all he said, he needs more time."

Faith noticed that for once her friend didn't burst into tears.

"So, what are you up to now?" Lita changed the subject

"Gotta change." Faith replied. "Then going back to Edge's room."

Lita nodded. "I'll change and go back with you. I'll watch your match there."

Faith grabbed her clothes, putting on tight black leather pants and a black short tank top. She touched up her hair and make-up before heading back to Edge's.

He let out a low whistle as they entered. "You two are by far the hottest Diva's here."

"Betcha say that to all the Diva's who walk into your room with barely anything on." Faith said with a wink.

"True but only cause you two are the first."

"Fair enough." Lita laughed. "Who's on now?" She walked over to the monitor and turned it on.

"Oh god, sorry?" She cried, reaching to turn it off.

"No, leave it." Faith said, walking closer. "I want to watch."

In the ring, Chris and Batista were going at it pretty good and Faith watched, transfixed on it until Edge placed a hand on her shoulder.

"C'mon Liz-girl, we're up next."

She nodded, reluctantly turning away and giving Lita a hug.

"Be careful." The red head whispered.

She nodded and followed Edge to the entrance of the ramp, stopping to watch the end of Chris' match.

Batista ended up winning the match but only because the ref didn't se the leg Chris had put on the bottom rope.

"That's so unfair." She exploded. "I hate that creep.

"Join the club." Edge muttered.

"You ready?" faith asked.

"Yeah, Orton's going down."

"That's the spirit."

The curtains were pushed aside as Chris stepped through. He stopped when he saw them.

"You're walking him out?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, he actually thinks I'll be useful." Faith replied snidely.

You think you know me.

Chris didn't get a chance to respond as Edge's music started and he stepped out, pulling Faith along with him.

"I was kind of in the middle of a conversation." She muttered to him.

Edge gave her one of his grins. "Yes, cause we all knew where that one was going. C'mon."

He ran to the rest of the ring, sliding into it. Faith was right behind him and she flipped over the top rope. Raising her hands to the crowd, she noticed that a lot of signs were out there but not all were saying nice things like they used to.

"Hey, I'm not so popular anymore." She called to Edge.

Edge glanced out at the signs. "Does it bother you?"

"Hell no, it's pretty cool."

He smirked at her. "Girl, you're pretty weird."

"If you only knew."

They turned as Evolution's music hit and Orton came down the ramp.

"Well I guess I'll go enjoy the show from down there."

She gave Orton the finger before throwing Edge a smile.

"I got your back." She called to him before flipping down to the floor.

The match began and Faith found herself getting bored. This time it wasn't because she couldn't do anything but because she didn't need to. Edge was beating up Orton pretty good all on his own.

Edge threw him into the corner nearest Faith, following through with a devastating spear.

"How you doin' Liz girl?"

She rolled her eyes. He never called her faith.

"Little bored down here."

"Sorry." He replied. "But I kinda find that a good thing."

"For you, maybe."

The match went back and forth and at one point it seemed Orton was about to win as he worked on Edge's neck. It made her wince as he had told her about his injuries.

Orton went for the pin and faith went to pull him away but Edge kicked out.

Orton was frustrated and went to undo the padding on one of the turnbuckles. He went back and grabbed Edge by the hair, intending to do some major damage so he could finish the match.

"Watch the corner." Faith yelled.

She braced herself for the collision but Edge pulled away, throwing Orton into the turnbuckle instead.

Edge backed up and as soon as Orton turned, he was caught with a spear, rolling him up for the three count.

"Yes." Faith screamed, jumping into the ring. She jumped onto Edge's back, which was holding up his newly won belt.

"You did it."

"I did."

Her senses flared up and she kicked her feet back, hitting flesh. Dropping off of Edge, she turned around to see Orton on the ground, holding his stomach.

"At least I got to do something." She smirked.

Edge laughed. "So sorry I wasn't getting the shit kicked out of me so you could help."

Faith laughed too. "Man I gotta start having my own matches."

They watched as Orton walked up the ramp and faith grabbed Edge's arm, urging him to listen to the crowd.

"Listen." She said.

The crowd had started chanting.

'NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA, HEY-EY-EY, GOOD-BYE.'

They both cracked up as they jumped out of the ring and headed to the back.
