Ch. 2 Jeff's Little Secret
Trish's life after that went down hill, but she managed to rekindle the friendship with Matt and Lita. She also found out about Lita having Kane's baby and Matt was out for three months after facing Kane. Lita and Trish went out one day for baby clothes, when the ran into Jeff. "Hey Lita. . .how's the baby?" he said rubbing her slightly round belly. They all laughed and chatted over lunch, "You guys know, Angel would be making a comeback in three months. . ." Trish turned away sadly "Yeah, but she's gone." "Well me and Matt are coming back and we've got a secret weapon." Jeff countered with a smile. "That's the best news I've heard in three years. . . Oh shit. . ." Trish paled as she looked out of the window. Jeff turned and saw Lita go pale as well, then saw Kane and Christian outside. Kane opened the door, "Get away from my wife. . ." Christian chimed "Yeah and my girl. . ." gabbing Trish's arm. "I'm not your girl" she said grimly. Kane told Lita to get in the car, Jeff got up and said "My ride should be here anyway." and walked with Lita outside. Kane was standing by the car, when a bat went through the windshield. "What the hell?!" Kane yelled and a motorcycle pulled up, and the rider got off. "Hey VI, what took ya so long?" Jeff said shaking hands with the rider. Kane towered over them, "Who the hell are you?" he snarled. Lita moved foward and held him back, the rider lifted the visor to it's helmet and lowered it's shades. "Hey Lita, it's been a while. . ." Lita recognized the eyes and almost fainted. "Hey ya found my bat," VI said and grabbed the bat, tossing it to Jeff, leaving 300 dollars in it's place. "That's for three years. . ." Kane twitched involuntarily at the statement; before closing the visor, VI looked at Trish and winked. "Later Trish. . ." VI said as Jeff got on and VI revved the bike up and rode off.
Later that night, Trish had a dream: a mysterious fighter saves her from Christian and kisses her. It felt so real, those soft lips, the sweet taste, and the words she heard three years ago "I promised I'd protect you." She awoke in a cold sweat and looked at the one picture she had of Angel as Hawke. "Why did you leave me? Now you can't save me. . ." she said in anger, then kissed the picture lightly and laid down to try to sleep. She wanted to talk to someone, luckily Lita called and she told Lita about the dream. Lita was blown away, and said something big was going to happen in three months, but she wasn't sure what.
Three months seemed like forever, but since that day with Jeff and VI, Kane was on edge. Lita and Trish were miserable, because of Kane and Christian. Today was something big, Lita and Trish heard rumors of an old wrestler making a comeback, and of course the Hardyz reunion and teaming up with Edge. It was RAW and Bischoff said that the Hardyz match with Christian and Kane was the main event. It seemed Kane heard the rumors too, and was pacing back and forth in his locker room; where Lita, Trish, Christian and Tomko watched the T.V. . . .
J.R. Ladies and gentlemen, one month from today, Vengeance at Madison Square Garden. . .
King:(solemnly) Yes J.R., that's right. . .20 year old, Angel Spade would be turning 23 that day, but something tragic hap-----"
The announcement was cut off and a video of a bird was playing with the date 06.22.10: "Vengeance is the rebirth of the bird of prey. . ."
It went back to J.R. and King, who looked extremely puzzled.
King: I don't know what just happened, but something about a 'bird of prey'. . .
J.R.: Yes King, and something about a rebirth. . .It seems we're in for a great deal at Vengeance.
Kane had stopped and said "I don't like this. . ." Christian yawned like he was bored "Kane relax, you're the champion here, you got the belt, we got the girls, and the power. . . Who ever this 'bird of prey' is, won't stand a chance against us." Kane looked at him momentarily, then relaxed and said "Yea, I took Beniot's belt. Besides we're going against the Hardyz, this is a walk in the park. . ." Lita didn't like the look in Kane's eyes and Trish was already annoyed with Christian.
Time came for the match, Kane and Christian were already in the ring when the Hardyz song hit. The crowd went wild as Matt and Jeff stood at the top of the ramp, Matt pointed to Lita and mouthed "I'm coming for my wife." and the charged into the ring. Trish and Lita were impressed how well the guys were handling Christian and Kane. Kane and Jeff were in the ring when everything went black and the Titantron blared "I said you had to kill me and you did . . ." it showed clouds and a pair of blue-green eyes "Now I'm coming for you. . . Kane" a bird's cry echoes and an image filled the ring. . . a bird of prey. Lights went up and Edge speared Kane while the referee wasn't looking, Jeff landed the Swanton and won the match. Matt knocked Christian out and stole a passionate kiss from Lita, while Jeff hugged Trish, secretly passing her a note (letting her know that they would be by the next day). They both disappear into the crowd.
Kane was throwing a fit in the ring, when it went black again and a single light falls on Kane, and a hawk swoops over head. It lands on someone standing up the ramp, the figure had long wet hair, a pair of jeans, black boots, a jean-vested leather jacket. "Your time is coming. . ." A voice echoes as the figure points and disappears. The lights go up and Kane is covered in blood, but none of it was on the mat. After the show Kane told Lita to stay away from him, that he'd pick her up from Trish's. Trish and Lita left in silence, once there Lita said "Do you really think she's back?" Trish snapped back "She can't . . . she's dead. . ." Lita calmed her by saying "What if the did it to protect her. . .to protect you?" Trish began feeling some sense of hope, "Could she really be back?" she said feeling almost giddy. They stayed up talking and watching Angel's old matches, in hopes that things were getting better, then called it a night. As the note said, they guys showed up two days later, Matt included. He and Lita reacquainted themselves, while the others talked about the up coming show in two days. Trish also found out the Andrew (Edge) and Jeff had been dating for a year and a half. . .
"Is Angel back?" Trish said randomly, then blushed at their reaction. Jeff said "That three year bet will be paid. . ." Edge smiled and said "Vince is going to throw Kane into a world of madness, there's Matt, Jeff, and myself, but soon Kane's worst fear will reveal itself. . ." There was a sudden banging on the door, Matt signaled Jeff and Edge to buy him time to get out as Trish answered the door. It was Kane with two bouquets of roses, he actually looked nice, until he saw Edge and Jeff. He shoved a set towards Trish and demanded "Where is she? Is that bastard Matt here. . ." he heard the shower upstairs and walked in, Lita didn't react until she saw the roses. "Kane? What's wrong?" she said peeking out from behind the shower door. Kane merely put the roses on the floor and said "Be ready in ten minutes" and left. Jeff was hugging Trish when Kane came down, "Later Trish" and left with Edge. Kane watched Trish for a moment as she looked the flowers over. "What's this for?" she asked silently. Kane sat across from her and said "There's a note. . . Do you know anything about what happened at RAW?" He watched as she saw the note and understood why he asked.
She looked up at Kane and said "No. . .All I know is someone is after you and they feel the need to rescue me and Lita. . ." He merely nodded and rubbed his chin, Lita came down stairs with the roses and said "Thanks Kane. . .See you on Smackdown Trish." and walked out the door. When Kane and Lita left, she locked her door and stared at the note:
"Three dozen roses for the three years you prayed for me. I promised I would protect you..." -(the symbol form the ring)
The same symbol that showed before Kane was covered in blood. Her heart raced wildly then stopped suddenly; Matt came down stairs in a shirt that read "Bird of Prey is Coming" and in the back it had the symbol in blue. "Sorry if I scared you. . .see ya at Smackdown." And he left as well, Trish figured she'd shower and head to the arena early to see if she could figure it out. People rushed in and out, she ran into Vince and a twelve year old Gabriel who was tall for his age. Vince told her to be ready for anything tonight and left her to get caught up with Angel's little brother. Gabriel was now in the sixth grade and came to keep his eyes open for the "bird". They walked and talked for a while, then Christian showed up. "Who the hell are you?" he said reaching for Trish, but Gabriel blocked him "I'm her protector. . ."he said. Christian reached for him now, but he blocked again and kicked Christian right in the balls. Gabriel began to run, the turned and smiled "She's coming" and left.
After Gabriel's little show, Trish couldn't get rid of her smile. Christian and Tomko were having a handicap match against Edge, while Kane faced the Rock. The Rock came out for his usual promo when it blacked out and said "She's coming. . ." The figure stood up the ramp with the hawk on it's shoulder, then the lights came up. The Rock faced the Titantron, he was more serious than usual. "That's right Kane, I know about the girl you almost killed. . .Well tonight I'm here to remind you of who she was. . ." He ended his promo and just walked out. Edge's match came up and Trish was worried for him, Christian and Tomko were going to put him out. Tomko was holding Edge for Christian to hit with a chair, Christian was about to swing when Trish pulled it out of his hands. He whirled on her "What the fuck to you think you are doing?", then he grabbed her hair and kissed her savagely, it went black. "She's coming. . ." like the Undertaker's did a while back the lights went up and the crowd is screaming. . .
J.R.: King someone is in the ring. Ladies and gentlemen, someone is towering over Christian. . .
King:(hyped) Yeah J.R. and Christian looks scared. Tomko don't. . .
Tyson apparently dropped Edge and grabbed the fallen chair. He swung full force, but the figure just bumped into Christian, who immediately released Trish. Christian turned and just saw the wild hair and the blue-green eyes, "Leave Trish alone. . ." the wrestler threatened, choking him. Tomko swung again, the wrestler flung Christian from the ring and face Tomko. Tyson landed several punches but the wrestler just looked at him. The next punch was blocked and Tomko was knocked to the mat with one blow. Then the wrestler picked Tyson up and did the most amazing thing ever seen, only one person was able to do that. . .
Trish watched and Tomko was power bombed five times into a pin like slam, "Is it really her?' Trish asked herself, but Christian grabbed her leg and she screamed. Edge was getting the referee and the wrestler grabbed Christian by his short hair, "I told you to leave her alone. . ." The wrestler growled and pulled him into the ring, delivering five power bombs into a death valley drop. Trish tried running, but the wrestler reached out and pulled her close, "Trish, get out of here. . .I'll find you." And jumped from the ring and disappeared into the crowd. Edge got the pin and grabbed the dazed Trish, "Pack your bags and let's go to your house to watch the rest of the show. . ." he said as they ran to the back. She grabbed her things and he had his bag, they got into his car and drove off. They made it to the house in time for Kane's match with the Rock. Edge was wearing shorts and sitting by the T.V. when Trish came down in a pair of sweats and tank top. "C'mon Rock, don't let Kane beat you. . ." Back at the arena, Kane was beating Rock badly, he even disqualified himself by hitting Rock with a chair on the head. . .
Kane grabbed a mic and laughed "You're right, Rock. . .You remind me exactly of what she looked like. . ." (Trish's heart begins to sink Oh God Dwayne, what did you get yourself into?) Kane turns to the crowd "This is to remind everyone who says her name (he lifts Rock's bloody face up) Anyone who thinks she's alive, come out here and I'll show you–"Vince McMahon's music hits and he's standing by King and J.R.'s announce table
"Wait a minute KANE, I was there. You want to show someone how dead she is? (Kane nods yes) Well, I've got just the person for you. . ." Edge is standing ready for anything and Trish is clutching a pillow out of both fear and excitement.
The arena goes black, the crowd is anxious : A slow beat(like wings flapping) sounds of children's voices "She's coming. . ." pieces of Hawke's last match flashes (with commentary) and again "She's coming. . ." it's adults voices this time. The beat has picked up pace and guitars blare "I'M HERE!" Nickleback's "Believe It or Not" is playing and Hawke's head snaps up and she looks over the crowd. Edge jumps up "She made it. . .it's her", Trish is now in front of the t.v., watching the crowds reaction. The crowd is screaming and Hawke is amping them and herself up right when the song reaches the chorus...But we don't and we won't I made this line up 'Til she takes KANE out She looks directly at Kane and rushes to the ring Could someone deliver us, just send us some kind of sign
King: J.R. it's her, she's here. . .
J.R.: Yes King, I see her and by God she's amazing. . ."
Hawke had bound to the ring and stood face to face with Kane. Her skin was tanned, her face was slimmer and more structured. She stood a few inches to a foot shorter than Kane. They were growling at each other, Kane said "You're not real, I killed you. . ." Hawke got closer and head butted him. "I'm very real. . ." The Crowd goes nuts as Hawke and Kane trade blows.
J.R.: This is de ja vu, but she's not letting up.
Hawke did a standing drop kick and knocked Kane out of the ring, then went to help the Rock. As Rock rolled out, Hawke saw Kane on the Titantron with a chair. Without hesitation she speared Kane like a cannon, the impact shook the whole ring. With the speed of the spear, Hawke bounced up and ripped off her jacket and flung it into the crowd, turning back to the staggered Kane."Come on!" she yelled urging him to stand. Kane got to his feet and she punched him in the balls "That's for my brother (then grabbing the chair) and THIS is for my DAD" she broke the chair on Kane's head, he staggered. Rock was back in the ring and told her to finish Kane off. She grabbed Kane and flung him to the ropes, Kane flipped himself out and held his head yelling "This isn't over. . ." Rock and Hawke taunted Kane, trying to get him to come back, the Hawke's song hit and the two wrestlers hyped up the crowd. . .
J.R.: Kane is running away, Hawke's kept her promise. . .
King: You're right J.R., but that's only one promise. . .
Hawke goes for the mic, "Hey Trish. . ." Trish sits gaping at her T.V. screen, Hawke looks like she could pop out of the T.V. . . . "No matter where you are, or who tries to stop me. . ." she points to the camera "I will find you and protect you like I promised". The show ended and some wrestlers couldn't believe she was there, others were happy beyond words and either hugged her or shook her hand. She was on her way to Rock's locker room, when Eric Bischoff called her, "Angel. . .Welcome back" "What is it Bischoff?" she said not disguising her irritation. Eric's smile faded "Kane's my money maker, don't screw this up for some stupid revenge thing–" he said and soon regretted it. Angel grabbed him and lifted him off the floor "STUPID REVENGE? He killed my father, he killed me. It's your fault anyway. . .if you hadn't band the others from ringside, my father would still be alive. . ." she shoved him to the wall and let him drop to the floor, "I should thank you though, if this hadn't happened, Kane wouldn't have created such a monster like me. . ." she crouched down in front of him, so he could see her face "Yes Eric, I am far worse than you BIG...RED...MACHINE!" and went to Rock's locker room.
"Hey Rock, how's the head?" she said sitting on the bench, he walked out with a small scar on his forehead. "I've had worse. . .How are you holding up?" he said packing his bag. For the first time since they've met, Angel looked hurt "Dwayne to be honest. . .all I kept seeing was my father. There is a rage inside that's waiting to erupt. . ." she said and her hands were trembling, he grabbed her hands and said "You have a powerful spirit, my mom would tell you that it is a Samoan spirit you hold inside... Trust me everything will be okay." She nodded and thanked him. As she was leaving, her cell rang. "Hello?" the she looked at the i.d. and said "Hey Drew, liked my huge come back?" she listened a moment and heard Edge whisper "Say something..." Angel smiled softly "Trish". Trish let out a faint "Oh God. . ." the she struggled with her words "I can't believe this is real. . .Angel you have no idea. . . I'm so happy your back." "I'm sorry I didn't reach you sooner. . . I had to protect you. You want me to stop by?" She said getting into a cab, "Please. . . I just have to see you again" Trish pleaded. "I'll be there in five minutes" Angel laughed at the urgency she heard in Trish's voice "I'll be there" Angel said then hung up. Angel got there and reached the doorstep, when the door flew open and Andrew speared her playfully to the ground. They rolled around playing like kids, Trish watched in the shadow of her doorway smiling at how happy Angel looked. "Hey no fair, no. . .lifting" Angel grunted as Edge tried flipping her over, she managed to slip out. He cringed when Angel tripped and landed on Trish, it was like time stood still. Angel was real and had her pinned to the ground, Trish felt her heart race and her body ache. . .she didn't understand why she reacted so strangely.
Angel's heart hammered in her head, seeing Trish under her, looking so beautiful.
Angel got up and offered Trish a hand. When Trish took her hand it was like a volcano erupted, Angel helped Trish stand and the two were face to face. . .Trish had tears in her eyes and she jumped up to hug Angel, who hugged her just as tightly. "I thought I'd never see you again." Trish sobbed, Angel rubbed her back softly "I don't make promises I can't keep." Angel said setting her down. "I wish I could stay longer, but "she looked to Edge "Kane and Christian will be showing up and we need to get to the gym. . .Trish if you can escape long enough, stop by" Angel took off her jacket and passed it to Edge with a bag. "I'll be at the gym. . ." Angel began and Trish looked at her watch "But it's 3am, no one is open at this time." She said and Edge laughed "It is when you own it. . ." Trish's mouth fell open, "You own the WWE gym in town?" Angel nodded "Yea, how do you think I knew how to find you guys. . .Vince gave it to me. He isn't such an asshole, at least not with me. . .he tries, but hey that's business". Angel put on a hoody, said goodbye and began running to the gym.
Trish was closing her door when she noticed Edge was smiling at her. . ."What?!" She said with a laugh she couldn't help. "You like her; I know she's crazy about you" he said accusingly. "Really? She likes me" she replied acting a little naive, Edge flipped. "Trish that girl has had the hots for you since the day you met. Honestly I think she's holding back, you should make her sweat. . .like Jeff did to me." Trish started laughing remembering how Jeff would drop something on purpose. "I don't know. . .how about some coffee and we'll get ready for the gym, I feel like playing" Trish said slyly, Edge got excited. They had coffee and Jeff called saying that he and Matt were at the gym with Angel. Trish had on a pair of spandex shorts, a small shirt, and a bag with all her gear inside. Edge wore what looked like a mixed blue pair of surfer short and his own personalized muscle top, with is bag. They got in Edge's car and drove to the gym.
