Chapter 9: Working for the enemy
Dee sat in the cafeteria, across from Christy and Candace. Glancing over every three minutes at the veterans. As a fan, she's heard it was like family amongst the stars and officials, even the technical crew. Actually being here, she's witnessed all the personalities, clashing with one another.
She didn't hate anybody, what she hated was the way the new people were treated, especially the women. Kora walked over. "We need to talk." She said looking at Dee.
"I thought we said we didn't need your help." Christy said standing up, but Kora shoved her back down.
"I wasn't talking to you." She said grabbing Dee with enough force to get her up from her seat.
Dee followed her to the hallway. "What can I do for you." She sternly asked.
"I'm not here to fight." Kora said putting up her hands. "Cut the tough shit act too, because I'm not buying it." Dee sat across from the woman, who in reality was only a few years older than she, but through out the show, she'd grown into a mentor. She listened carefully to every word she had to say. Some of it true, some of it, not. All of it however hit her rather hard.

Triple H and Ric Flair looked on as the newest addition of the raw roster chatted up some of the Raw Diva's.
"So, this is my cell phone number." He smirked handing it to Candace Michelle. "Give me a call, and we'll have dinner or something." He smiled, laying the charm on thick, as the brunette blushed.
"Or something…" she winked, as Ric and Hunter made their way over. "See ya."
"Look at him." Hunter teased. "Working the ladies already."
"Bobby Burns." He stood up extending a hand to both men. Ric grinned ear to ear, when Bobby stood up. Standing 6'8" and weighing in at 260 pounds, he resembled Batista to a tee.
"Kora said the resemblance was eerie." Hunter whispered. As the camera's cut.
"Paul." HHH said introducing himself to the kid. "You already met Ric Flair in the cafeteria." He looked Bobby from head to toe. "I'll be damned, she was right." He smirked as Batista walked past them.
"Where is she anyway?" Bobby asked. Looking around the backstage area, assuming she was somewhere around.
"Around here somewhere." Hunter said as he looked the kid over once more. "You ever wrestle before kid?"
"Once or twice." Bobby laughed before walking away. He found himself crashing into a woman, clad in red tank top, and a short black skirt. Not once looking at her face, he became fixated on her body.
"Holy Shit!" Dee said wide eyed. She through her arms around the bigger man.
"Is that anyway to greet your friends?" Bobby joked helping her up off the floor. He ran a finger through his hair, and Dee couldn't stop smiling.
"You got rid of the Mohawk." She observed. "And it's black."
"Let's hear it for Captain Obvious." An all too familiar voice came from behind. Faith made her way over to the both of them. "
"One thing I didn't miss." Bobby whispered, "Hello Faith." He gave her a hug, and waited for her to say something. "How's life?"
She nodded her head, as if to agree with something. "You'll never believe who I just ran into."
"Did you see your reflection in the mirror again?" Dee joked. All parties present thought it was funny, except Faith. Instead of sharing who it was she just walked off. "I better go, If the camera's catch one of Batista's team members talking with Evolutions newest bad guy, I'm toast." She quickly made herself scarce.

Crazy Train (Without the lyrics) blasted through the New Orleans Staples arena. After a huge pyro show, Bobby Burns made his WWE in-ring debut. Triple H and Ric Flair followed him out to the ring, shortly after. Bobby waited in the ring, he figured, they would put him against some jobber, or a less popular star, to make it look as if he were unstoppable.
Slow Chemical was next to hit the speaker, and Bobby and his newest team members jumped when pyro hit the ring. Muhammad and Daivari made their way out shortly after.
Bobby immediately begins to take his heavy punches to Hassan, sending him scurrying to the outside. Bobby stalks him and nails Daivari but Hassan capitalizes and DDT's him back into the ring.
Hassan kicks away at Bobby's head before working away on the back of the neck. Bobby soon recovers and brings Daivari in and kicks him in the head before knocking Hassan down. Spinebuster on Daivari who is cut open on the forehead. Bobby then turns his attention to Hassan and knees him against the corner the referee counts to three and he ignores the count getting himself disqualified.
A frustrated Bobby then goes back to beat up both Daivari and Hassan some more. Finally, Bobby levels Hassan over the head with a chairshot.
Triple H and Ric Flair watched in amazement as the young star beat both Hassan and Daivari to a pulp. Bobby timidly walked up the ramp and through the back. Vince McMahon, who he had noticed in the gorilla for the first time gave him a thumbs up. Kora through her arms around him as soon as he came through to the backstage area.
"You did fantastic!" she boasted when Hunter, and Ric came through she put her hands on her hips. "Well?"
"You were right." Hunter said winking at her behind Ric so he wouldn't catch the gesture. "Kids fucking awesome."
"So am I in or what?" Bobby asked. Randy came over to the group. "Bobby Burns." He sad introducing himself. Randy didn't oblige. This was nothing new these days.
"Tonight we celebrate." Kora smiled following Hunter and Bobby to their locker room. "Evolutions finally evolved."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Faith and Maven waited by the gorilla, in silence. "Lighten up." Maven said patting her on the back. It was her first mixed tag match since being in the WWE.
"I can't." she said watching the monitor as Bobby and Evolution celebrated. Shaking her head, she went through the entrance as soon as her music hit.
JR: Maria and Val have requested this match, King, lets take a look at what happened on heat last night.
(Maven and Faith Christopher vs. Maria and Val.)
Val and Maven hold both Divas back before Maven attacks Val from behind and drives Val's head into the corner before driving his elbow into Val. Val counters an Irish whip by backel bowing Maven down before delivering a clothesline and suplex. Maven goes outside and drags Val out by the legs no Val manages to swat Maven away.
Val comes out and chops Maven before throwing him back inside where Maven pleads for mercy and a timeout. Val blocks Maven's roundhouse attempts instead delivering punches of his own before driving a knee to the gut and unleashing a stinging chop. Val with an Irish whip charges in hitting Maven with a clothesline in the corner. Val lands another chop before hitting Maven with two of his patented running knee lifts in the ropes. Val then hits a side Russian leg sweep and then we get the gyration followed by mounted punches to Maven's head. Val with another chop, Maven reverses into the ropes surprising Val with a dropkick, Maven tags out.
Faith's slap is blocked, Val delivers more gyration, an atomic drop and tags in a newly trained Maria who enters and punches Faith down. Maria delivers battering rams in the corner and scores with a back body drop off the ropes. Faith rolls outside, Maven goes over and Maria nails Maven with a pescado before rolling back in and escaping a pissed off Maven. Maria brings Faith back in on the apron over the top rope by the hair, Faith reverses into the ropes, Maven hooks Maria who turns to confront, Faith charges forwards and Maria goes behind Faith and rolls her up. The referee turns and registers a two and Faith feigns a time out request by dropping Maria onto the bottom rope and then kicks Maria who falls to the outside.
A frustrated Faith goes outside of the ring, and grabs a chair and gets her team DQ'd. She than continued her assault on both Val and Maria. "I've had it!" she screamed into the microphone. "This Sunday at Backlash, you better be ready."
Maven stood Maria up, she was barely conscious and busted open. Faith grabbed her lower face. "At Backlash, I will destroy you once and for all." Faith sneered, delivering a vicious slap to Maria.
King: Faith's lost it.

After the show most of the superstars were invited to celebrate the newest addition to the Raw Roster. Bobby was late, and Kora was starting to get worried until he walked in the door with another familiar face. He stopped by Hunter and Ric first. "This is my girlfriend, Cayci Caveneax." He said.
"Yeah I remember you. Odds on favorite to get the contract in the locker room." Hunter smiled. "So what are you doing these days?"
"She's TNA." Kora said handing her a beer. It was like the whole place became quiet. If it wasn't bad enough between the locker rooms they had TNA among them the entire night.
Bobby quick to her defense. "WWE hadn't offered her anything, so TNA got her, you guys know how it works."
"Hey it's cool." Molly said extending her hand, followed by Jericho and Shelton. Soon everyone began to really lighten up, Kora happy with the way the party turned out decided to call it quits. Everybody was getting along for once, and she hoped it'd be a small step toward ending the ridiculous feud that had been going on.
"Hey where are ya going?" Hunter said grabbing her arm. "Stay for a while."
"I'm real tired." She lied, heading toward the exit.
"Want me to come with?"
"No, stay here, make sure my dad doesn't get out of control." She said pointing to Ric , who had joined Christy Hemme, Faith and Victoria on the dance floor. "Good night." Kora said, smirking a bit.
"Sweet dreams."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Faith couldn't stop laughing her ass off. Everyone was pretty well lit up, and they were reminiscing about old times, some of the guys told stories about the road, and the crazy shit that would happen to them. "You know you should do that more often."
Faith looked over, and smiled. "Do what?" she couldn't stop smiling, it actually felt good to do it. She took a sip of her drink.
"Smile…it looks good on you." Turning red with embarrassment, he extended his arm. "Eugene Dinsmore."
"Faith…" she smiled. "Christopher." A silence had fallen between the two, and not a single word spoken, just stolen glances by both of them.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
