Five - The Truth Hurts

A few hours later word had spread through the wrestling grapevine that Stephanie McMahon had gone insane and before leaving Connecticut for their homeward bound trips some of the RAW Superstars decided to stay and pay her a visit. As Carlito, Shelton and Nitro arrived at Lita's hotel room ready to go to the hospital Edge stepped out of the room with a puzzled look on his face.

"Uh maybe we should wait for them downstairs," Edge said earning curious looks from the three IC Champions, "They're having a very, very strange conversation in there and I don't think you guys wanna know just how nuts our girlfriends really are,"

"Oh no not Lita too?" Nitro said and Shelton and Carlito looked at Edge for more information, Nitro had already told them that Melina was acting a little strange this morning.

"I don't know if I was a little too wasted last night and my brain's still asleep but Lita's gone all – spiritual," Edge said looking befuddled pulling his barely brushed hair back, "She even looks different,"

As Shelton, Carlito and Nitro exchanged confused looks Lita, Trish and Melina were deciding how to handle the events of the past night in the light of morning.

"So you're Anointed?" Melina asked Lita.

"Yeah the voice said that I was Anointed Amy so that's what I'm going to be," Lita answered.

"And anybody who harms you will die?" Melina asked on the carpet with her legs crossed looking up at Lita who was sitting on her bed.

"That's right, I thought I was dreaming but the voice spoke to me again this morning and said that you and Trish were to be my compatriots,"

"Meaning what exactly?" Melina asked while Trish just stood quietly as the two women spoke.

"Meaning that we're a band of women known as ATM," Lita continued patiently.

"Amy, Trish and Melina?" Melina asked working out the acronym.

"Yeah but Anointed Amy, The Truth: Trish Stratus and Melina the Miraculous," Lita said.

"Actually guys it stands for 'Authority To Minister', the names are just a coincidence," Trish finally chirped in causing Melina and Lita to laugh.

"You just wanted to make sure whatever Lita said was 100 percent right didn't you?" Melina asked.

"Well she is Anointed I have to make sure she's got the script right," Trish said simply.

"Funny thing is the voice that spoke to me said that I've been chosen for such a time as this, why do you think this happened to us?" Melina asked confused.

"Whatever the reason it's got something to do with what happened to Stephanie this morning so we better go," Lita said getting up off the bed and bringing her bag with her only to stop at the realization that her bag was a little heavier than usual. She opened it up and pulled out a huge white cloth with tassels and two rows of blue lines on either end.

"What's that?" Melina asked her eyes wide with curiosity.

"It's a Tallit," Trish answered and Melina scrunched up her nose confused.

"A prayer cloth," Lita explained. She put it back inside her bag and pulled out a vile of oil. Melina and Trish looked at each other then smiled at Lita who was just beginning to grasp the anointing God had put on her.

"Wow, I really am Anointed Amy," she said looking at the vile of oil curiously. As she put it back in her bag and looked back up she noticed that Trish and Melina were looking at her in awe. She hugged them both and they hugged her back excited by the work God wanted them to do, whether or not their boyfriends would understand was another question all together.

In the hallway:

"Hey guys," Melina said merrily causing the four men to jump out of their skin at the soft timbre in her voice.

"Hey Melina," they said back hesitantly as the Divas stood before them.

"Edge was right, they do look different," Nitro whispered to Shelton out of the corner of his mouth.

"You guys ready to go?" Lita asked the bemused looking men who kind of shuffled around and looked distracted, except for Carlito who was still angry at Trish.

"Yeah, I called the hospital she's expecting us," Edge answered eventually.

"Okay let's go," Lita said making the first move with a smiling Melina behind her followed by four anxious gentlemen.

"Wait-a-minute where's Randy?" Trish asked suddenly a concerned look on her face. Carlito shook his head.

"Why so you can ask him what he has in common with me and The Rock?" he replied sarcastically earning strange looks from Nitro, Edge and Shelton.

"That's easy," Shelton replied, "All of their grandfathers were wrestlers,"

"And they've all been Intercontinental Champion," Edge added.

"Now was that so hard?" Carlito asked Trish, "I'll see you guys at the hospital," Carlito said turning away from them and Trish ran after him again. Everyone else shook their heads.

"This was bound to happen, Trish's lies were bound to catch up with her sooner or later," Shelton said everyone agreeing with him except Lita and Melina, "What are you guys staring at each other for?"

"Let's just say have a little bit more faith in Trish's opinion from now on," Lita answered.

Meanwhile by the elevator:

"Look Carlito I didn't know the answer to the question yesterday but I do now, "Trish said.

"Yeah only because Shelton and Edge just told you," Carlito countered.

"No I knew before they said anything, l could have told you before them but I wanted to talk to you privately anyway," Trish said firmly. Carlito picked up a difference in her voice and the way she carried herself, like she had some kind of authority all of a sudden and it was very intriguing.

"Go on," he said. Trish lowered her hands and looked up at Carlito's hair.

"First of all I love your hair," she said and Carlito chuckled sheepishly in spite of himself, "Second of all Randy Orton's in danger and we have to get to him before he leaves for St. Louis,"

Carlito narrowed his eyes, "How do you know that?" he asked curiously.

"Because I am The Truth: Trish Stratus and I know everything," Trish replied automatically.

Carlito went blank, "Okay," he said.

They went back to the others and headed for Randy's room but there was no answer.

"He's still here," Trish said.

"Okay," Carlito said in the same tone he had before. Shelton nudged him on the shoulder.

"You okay man?" he asked noticing the blank stare on Carlito's face as he looked at Trish. Carlito nodded that he was okay but Shelton didn't believe him, it seemed that whatever Melina and Lita had, Trish had it too and it was freaking him out.

"Let's go downstairs, he's probably checking out the receptionist," Edge said and they headed for the lobby.

"Anna?" Nitro asked.

"No Helen, he's known Anna already," Trish replied.

Nitro and Shelton went blank.

"That's Biblical for they've had sex," she explained.

"Okay," Carlito said again wondering what on Earth had come over his girlfriend.

In the lobby:

Randy Orton was leaning over the receptionist desk flirting with Helen who was blushing from head-to-toe.

"You know I have a tattoo on my back but I'm thinking of changing it," Randy pulled up the back of his sweater, "Any suggestions?" he asked cocking his eyebrow.

"Sure, how about my phone number in thick black ink?" Helen cooed leaning on her elbows looking deeply into Randy's eyes.

"What time do you get off?" Randy asked expectantly.

"Anytime you want, Anna's covering my shift this morning," Helen purred.

"Then let's get outta here," Randy said escorting Helen from behind the desk.

"Helen wait!" Trish called out and Randy looked up to see Carlito, Shelton, Edge, Melina, Lita and Nitro heading towards them.

"Can I help you guys?" Randy asked puzzled.

"Yeah you can come with us to the hospital to see Stephanie," Lita said.

"You can't go back to St. Louis, at least not yet. You're in danger Randy and until we work out what from you're staying with us," Trish said.

Everybody looked at Trish she was like a totally different person and it was very unnerving but Trish shook it off and gave Melina and Lita a knowing look and they nodded in agreement.

"The truth always makes people uncomfortable," she said simply.

"Sorry guys but I'm not in any danger and I certainly ain't gonna waste my morning talking to any of you, now if you'll excuse me I have an early morning date," Randy replied and as he turned to leave with Helen he was confronted by Lita, he couldn't quite put his finger on it but something about her was holding him to his position.

"Trish why don't you go first," she said to Trish.

"Sure thing Amy," Trish replied and took Helen to one side.

"First of all there's a meeting that Anna didn't tell you about in Conference Room B in ten minutes and if you don't attend you're going to get fired. Second of all Randy is only using you for sex which will be rough and one-sided at the end he'll scream out Anna's name as he slept with her last night and he'll never call you again," Trish said and Helen's nodded knowing what Trish did last night she didn't doubt Trish for a second.

"Okay Trish, thank you," she said tears brimming at her lids.

"Just remember," Trish said touching Helen's face, "The truth is a blessing not a curse,"

Helen nodded and left for Conference Room B in time for the meeting and just in time to see the look of surprise on Anna's face.

Randy watched his next conquest disappear around the corner and he looked at Trish defiantly.

"What did you say to her?" Randy yelled.

"Nothing, I just told her what she needed to hear," Trish answered nonchalantly. Randy folded his arms unimpressed and looked down at Lita.

"And just what are you gonna tell me little lady? Please tell me it involves soap and a hot shower spray," he said lewdly clasping his hands together. Lita put her hands over Randy's and smiled. Randy was entranced, he couldn't tear his eyes away and he felt like he was coming out of his body. Edge looked on recognizing the behavior he'd seen it at his mother's church in Canada but he certainly didn't expect to see it here.

"What's happening to me?" Randy asked searching for the right words to explain what was happening to him. Suddenly Lita let go and Randy stumbled to regain his footing and looked at the other Superstars who looked as dumbstruck as he did, except for Melina was grinning from ear-to-ear and Trish who was stoically watching everything unfold without a hint of emotion. Randy looked back to Lita who looked like a sublime version of her former self.

"You have a few demons Randy but there is something out there right now trying to destroy you that make your anger management problems look like a hissy fit. Come with us and we'll protect you, stay here or go back to St. Louis and you will die,"

Everyone gasped except Trish who lowered her head with reverence for the truth. Randy laughed incongruous to what Lita was saying.

"You guys crack me up," he said holding his sides, "I'm outta here man".

He kissed Lita on the forehead and squeezed her arm and as soon as he touched her she latched onto his hand and like a bolt of electricity he went into convulsions. Lita closed her eyes and started speaking in tongues, when she was done Randy was lying still on the marble floor along with the jaws of Edge, Nitro, Carlito and Shelton. Lita kneeled on the floor beside Randy opened her bag and brought out the Tallit. She covered Randy with it.

"He'll be safe here now, let's go guys," she said getting up. Trish and Melina headed with her towards the exit, realizing they were alone they turned and saw Shelton, Edge, Nitro and Carlito looking stunned. The three women looked at each other knowingly this was the exact reaction they expected from their best guys.

"Hey it's still us," Melina said. Nitro shook his head.

"No it isn't," he said, he wanted a change but he never expected so much of a change.

"Who are you guys?" Shelton asked frowning and a little scared too.

"Carlito you know who I am," Trish answered.

"Who is she?" Edge asked Carlito followed by the eyes of Shelton and Nitro but Carlito couldn't answer and looked down at his shoes.

Trish nodded knowingly; this was the wisdom God had told her about,

"You know who I am but you deny it, you can't handle the truth Carlito. Come on guys let's go we've got more important things to worry about,"

That last comment hurt Carlito, this whole time he had wanted Trish to be honest with him and now she was and he began to understand how hard it was to tell the truth. Lita smiled at all of them warmly.

"There's no point in me telling you who I am or Melina telling you who she is because you guys are blinded by the spirit of unbelief. What you need to do is stay here and wait for a revelation which will come later on this evening. Then you will know who we are. Right now you guys just aren't ready," Lita said she raised her hand up towards them and smiled, "But don't worry because the Lord is with you and you'll be safe, see you soon,"

As the three women turned to leave Edge ran toward them and gave Lita a big kiss.

"I am ready, let me come with you," he said and Lita smiled, Trish and Melina nodded in agreement and the four of them left for the hospital, leaving Nitro and Shelton scratching their heads and Carlito wondering if he should follow them too.
