Chapter One "Blood to the Nature Boy"

Dave Batista let out a loud and exaggerated sigh as he set his large black duffle bag down in the Evolution locker room. He sat himself down, and let his eyes drift closed, feeling nothing but the weight of the world heavy on his chest. He had come straight to the Staples Center after a long flight from D.C. and his entire body ached from sleeping on the plane. Needless to say, even though it was only ten o'clock in the morning, it had already been a long day.

The argument he had with his ex-wife the day before played over in his mind, only causing him more stress and guilt than he needed. His youngest daughter's birthday was only a few days away, and he was going to be working. "You're not even a real father anymore." Angie's words before he walked out of the house they used to share still stung. He resented the fact that there was so much hatred between them when there had once been love and respect.

"Oh well," he muttered to himself, opening up his eyes and reaching for his bag. "She's not my problem anymore."

"Who you talkin' to, Big Man?" Dave looked up as Ric Flair walked in.

"Just me," He answered, standing up and shaking his friends hand. "You're here early."

"Speak for yourself. I'm just here showing my nieces around the arena before the show tonight," Ric replied, "I left them with Hunter to come find you."

"Your nieces?" Dave asked uncertainly.

"My sister's girls, Sara and Kali. I haven't seen them in almost a year, and they just live in San Bernardino," Ric explained, "And man, let me tell ya, did they grow up. I almost didn't recognize them. Speaking of growing up, doesn't your daughter have a birthday coming up?" Dave frowned slightly at that, but didn't answer. Ric knew he had made a mistake, so he changed the subject. "Anyways, I just came to ask if you wanted to come to dinner with us tonight, Hunter, the girls, and I. We've got reservations at this place called Tutto Fresco, Kali loves Italian. What d'ya say?"

"Uh… I don't know, Man," Dave said with a shrug. "Sounds like a family thing…"

"Dave, Hunter's going," Ric replied matter-of-factly, "Alright, just think about it and let me know tonight after our match. I gotta get back to my nieces."

"See ya Ric," Dave said, sitting back down and continuing to empty his duffle.

Dave channeled all his frustration and anger into Evolution's match later that night, ultimately causing the win. And as they headed back to their locker room, Hunter draped his large arm around Dave's shoulders. "So, what's up Big Dave, you comin' with us tonight or what?" he asked. Before Dave could say anything, Hunter continued. "Cause it's been almost four months since you've hung out with us. We miss ya, Man."

Dave smiled slightly before nodding his head. "Yeah. Yeah, dinner sounds great."

"Wooh!" Ric exclaimed, with a laugh. "About time!"

"Whatever Ric," Dave shook his head, leading the way into the locker room. He stopped short when he saw who was waiting inside. A young, pretty blonde woman, probably twenty-two or three, with a short, cute figure and a nice smile was standing in the middle of the room. Dave stared at her, momentarily at a loss for what to do next.

"Hi," She greeted, bringing him back to reality.

"Hi," he replied. Ric pushed past him and pulled her in to hug.

"My beautiful Kali," He said.

"Hi, Uncle Ric. You're nice and sweaty," she answered, returning the hug and kissing him on the cheek.

"Where's your sister?" Ric asked.

"She found John Cena," She replied with a smirk, "We won't be seeing her until dinner." Ric laughed and turned to Dave.

"Dave, this my niece," He said, pushing Kali gently in Dave's direction. "Well, one of them."

"I'm Kali, it's nice to finally meet you," She said, offering him her hand. "Uncle Ric has told me a lot about you."

"I'm Dave," was all he could think to reply, taking her hand in his and giving it a soft shake. A chill shot down his spine.

"Well, Kali, the three of us can get ready for dinner, so why don't you go find Sara?" Hunter said, stepping in, "And we'll meet you back here in a half an hour, sound good?"

"yeah, okay," Kali said, keeping her gaze on Dave, but only for a second. She gave them all a slight wave and left.

Kali practically sprinted down the long hallways in search of sister. She found her leaning against the craft service table, flirting with John Cena. Sara was Kali's near perfect match except for her hair, which she chose to dye red. "Oh my God Sara!" She cried, interrupting Sara and John's conversation.

Sara looked up at her sister, slightly startled. "What? What's wrong?" she asked with concern.

"Oh, nothings wrong, but you'll never guess who I juts met!" Kali cried.

"Um… Dave Batista, maybe?" Sara replied.

"How'd you know?" Kali asked.

"He's the only reason you'd come running up to me all excited like that," Sara explained, laughing at her. Kali rolled her eye and shoved Sara playfully.

"Well, it was exciting-" She said, but John cleared his throat loudly, interrupting her. "Oh, I'm sorry John," She said, finally acknowledging him, "how are you?"

" Now that you two are here, I'm really good, it's been too long since I've seen my favorite set of twins," He said, pulling her into a tight hug. "But, I'd be even better if I could convince your lovely sister to come out with me tonight" He looked pointedly at Sara.

"I told you, we're having dinner with our uncle tonight, but if we're done early, maybe I'll give you a call," she teased.

"Damn right you'll call," He replied "I'm gonna get pretty lonely out on the town by myself tonight"

"Some how I don't think that's actually gonna be a problem for you John, but speaking of dinner, we really should get ready to go, Sara," Kali said.

Dave was the first one ready and waiting to go. He changed from his ring gear into a pair of black pants with red pinstripes, a black shirt and a red tie. He was sitting, flipping through the new RAW Magazine when there was a knock on the door. Kali walked in followed by her undeniable twin. Dave was absolutely blown away, they both look incredible. Kali had straightened her long blonde hair and wore a thigh length black dress that formed to her figure beautifully. Sara had her hair pulled up elegantly and wore a pair of dark gray slacks and silky maroon camisole. "Wow," Dave said without thinking, making Sara laugh. "I mean hi."

"Hi," Kali replied, smiling up at him. They stared at each other for a moment before Sara chimed in.

"I'm Sara by the way," she said, unable to hide her amusement. She shook Dave's hand.

"Um, your uncle is almost ready and Hunter went to go make a phone, but they should be done soon," Dave said. As if on cue Hunter came through the door.

"Hey ladies," He greeted, "Looking good."

"Those are my nieces you're talkin' about, Hunter," Ric said as he came out of the bathroom, "Better watch yourself." Sara and Kali shook their heads at the two of them. "You girls ready to go?" Ric asked.

"Just waiting on you," Kali replied.

"Well then, by all means," Ric said, gesturing toward the door. Hunter and Dave hung back as Ric and the girls walked out of the room.

"What do you think?" Hunter asked.

"About what?" Dave replied.

"Kali, she's pretty hot ," Hunter said, "And she hasn't been able to take her eyes off of you since meeting you."

"Whatever you say, Man ," Dave replied, grabbing his jacket, "let's go."
