Divas Prison Ch45
Summer never thought that she would be glad to get locked into her prison cell again, but right now that was a fact for her. Anything would be better than the way that she was being treated. The van had brought her back to prison only a couple of hours ago, but it had felt like days.
Warden Flair and Head Guard Borden had met the van, just as they usually do with new prisoners, but this time they had treated her like a disease. The Warden had completely blown up in her face the moment he saw her. An insulting mixture of how she was the biggest loser he had ever seen, and how he was going to make it a personal mission to make her life as miserable as he could make it.
"Being anywhere run by you, I can't see how you couldn't." Was clearly the wrong response, the response being the end of a bat in her stomach from 'Sting'. He hadn't let her get her wind back, dragging her off to be re booked into the prison. The two of them hadn't left her for the entirety of that process, barely agreeing to turn their backs when she was marched into a shower room. Last time, they didn't put her into any restraints after she dried and dressed, but Flair had insisted.
When they arrived back at the block, it was empty, which surprised Summer, as it was the middle of the day. She was unaware of the lockdown that had been put into effect. Flair and Sting marched her into the middle of the room and stop her there, before the Warden gave the signal to open the cells. Summer couldn't help but notice the smirk on his face.
"Assemble in front of the Warden! No talking!" Was the command, with all the guards ensuring that they were complied with in quick time. Once he saw he had everyone's attention, he began.
"This is the face of failure. The perfect example of how nobody can escape justice, escape the law, and most importantly, escape successfully from United States prisons. Not only do I have one here, returned to her rightful place, but I got the news only a few hours ago that another one of them has been arrested, booked into jail, and will be back with us very soon. With the investigation making great strides everyday, all three of her friends will soon all be standing next to her, looking as defeated as she does right now. You have to understand, you can't win here. Things will all soon be exactly as they should be. In line with that, I have decided that there will be a minor relaxing of the recent sanctions placed on you all as a result of the actions of their disgusting acts. As of now, lockdown is reduced from 23 to 18 hours, and your commissary rights are restored." Flair basked in this moment while Summer squirmed. He believed that he was coming off as the good guy for giving something back, while making it clear how Summer, in this case anyway, was the one responsible for their unpleasant living conditions of the last few weeks. He could see the look some of the women had given her already, even if there had been some relieved murmurs at getting some privileges back.
"I wasn't finished!" He shouted, louder than necessary, but he wasn't letting the chatter that had broken out continue. "You women best remember that I will take it all away again in a second if you give me cause. My guards will continue to lock down any trouble makers, and there are always plenty of empty cells in The Lock for anybody who forgets their place. That's goes double for you." He directed the last co meant to Summer, and gave Sting a signal, which moved him to remove all of Summer's cuffs and chains. Once freed, Summer realised how many of the other women were looking at her with malice in their eyes and on their minds.
"Well, I'm sure you want to welcome back your fellow inmate, I do t want to spoil the party, I have something of my own to arrange for her." Flair said, and he and his head guard left the block, pausing for only a second with Rollins, as the block supervisor, for a short conversation at the door.
Summer decided to make a move towards her cell, not wanting anything to do with the crowd in front of her, but she soon found her path blocked by Angelina in one direction, and Madison in another. Turning around, she was grabbed under her chin by Victoria. She couldn't break the grip and struggled for breath as Mickie came around and looked at her.
"So tell me, you think because you think you're somebody, you have the right to make selfish decisions that make my life, and all our lives even more miserable?"
Summer tried to shake her head, not able to get any words out.
Mickie continued. "Well, you need to be taught a lesson it seems. Lucky for you, we are more than eager to help you learn it. My girls go first of course, but whatever is left of her is for anyone to do what they want with."
Victoria took Summer's legs out from under her and the Knockouts all circled around her, they were able to get a few kicks to her defenceless body before Natalya, Paige, Becky and Charlotte got in the way.
"Hey, I get you have a problem with this, so do we, but if we all turn on her, then that smug son of a bitch up there gets exactly what he wants, extra abuse for those who made him look stupid in front of his bosses and the press." Natalya snuck a quick look at Charlotte, well aware of who she was bashing, but she looked like she didn't even care. "I'll bet she regrets what she did, she'll have gotten a extended stretch, and will have to suffer for it, but no matter what we think of each other, we will never give him what he wants. Mickie, I have no time for you, and you have no respect for me, that's clear. But you've been in the system for a long time, just like me. This isn't the way to go."
Mickie laughed. "The way to go?" You think I care who I'm helping, or who I'm hurting? No chance. She put us all on almost permanent lockdown for weeks. We still are apparently, so what if we can make it a little better with commissary, she needs to know how badly she screwed us."
Natalya wasn't able to continue her efforts to help Summer, when she saw the former to star getting picked up off of the floor by her collar. Summer thought she was being helped up, but she then was turned around to find she was face to face with Ronda. The look on her face could have killed on its own, and Summer was frozen, not that she could have escaped the grip anyway.
Mickie certainly liked what she saw. "Oh, now you're for it, I don't think we need to do anything more anyway." Everyone was on edge, waiting to see what was going to happen. Summer wasn't completely aware of who this was, but since she couldn't escape the grip, or ever forget the look on her face, she knew she was in more trouble. Ronda looked side to side for a brief second, then all but threw Summer into Natalya, the force taking both women off their feet, before turning and walking away.
"What the hell was that?" Mickie shouted after her, before Victoria put her body between the two. Not that it was necessary, because Ronda didn't even look back. Mickie walked away in anger, while Natalya and Summer got up and went in the opposite direction, Paige and the others in quick pursuit.
"Th...thanks." Summer barely got out as she got her breath back.
"You're welcome, this time." Natalya said with a tone. "That wasn't the way to do things, but you did screw us all big time. And for nothing. I hope you feel as miserable as possible right now."
"Miserable is right. I'm sorry if I made things worse here. I didn't mean for it to happen. I hadn't planned on it, the rest of them were heading out, and I saw what they were doing. I saw a chance to get out of here, and I had to take it. Worst decision I ever made. They found me right away. Now I've gotten all this extra time to do. So if it helps, I got what I deserved."
Charlotte was surprised by this. "What you deserved? What's happened to you? What happened to all the nights of crying that you shouldn't be here? That life wasn't fair?"
Summer shrugged. "Nobody's ever going to believe me now, I could have seen it through the legal way, but it seemed like too good a chance to pass up, like I'd have regretted it every day if I didn't try. I can't blame anyone now. I just want to do anything I can to make this time go as quickly as possible. Get out, start again."
"That's a much better attitude." Becky said. "It's the only way I've managed to get through, and you've got us, that helps too."
"You don't hate me like the rest? Thanks, really." Summer smiled for the first time.
"So, tell us what happened then?" Paige couldn't hold it in anymore, getting carried away.
"I saw Nikki basically drag Brie away, that's when I saw they had the door open, and I guessed that's what they were doing, Brie was screaming your name, Charlotte." Just at the mention of Brie, Charlotte's whole demeanour changed, she rocked back against the wall there and looked down.
"You ok?" Was the almost simultaneous response from the others. Charlotte nodded, but did t say anything. The mixture of sadness and anger on her face said more than any words she could have spoken. She gestured to Summer to continue.
"We hid in a bathroom while all the guards broke up the riot. We nearly got caught there, but Sasha killed the guard."
"A guard got killed? No wonder they've been so hard on us." Natalya said to the group in general. They all agreed, some nodding, some murmuring to themselves.
"I didn't want anyone to get hurt, i just wanted to get out. We got to the hospital, Sasha got the doctor to give us keys and there was a car waiting for us. When we reached a safe spot, they all got out into another car, but they kicked me out." Summer made sure not to show sadness in recounting the moment her hopes were gone, knowing sympathy wasn't coming her way.
"So you didn't have a chance really. Not with the way they'd by searching." Becky said, getting a nod from Summer.
"Nope, they got me in no time. Threw me in some local jail, horrible place. Asked me I don't know how many questions, few that I knew the answer to, but I did talk. Was that wrong?"
"Not this time, why protect any of them?" Natalya told Summer, who looked relieved.
"Good, I know I did wrong by you all. But I am sorry. Really." Summer sounded, and was genuine in her words.
Paige gave her a small hug. "Well that's good, now lets not talk about it as much as possible ok, you're here, we're here. Soon they'll all be here."
"Hey yeah, didn't he say they got another one." Becky remembered the Wardens words.
"Yeah, another one. That has to mean it's Sasha Banks. And you know what that means, don't you sweetie?" Paige had a big grin on her face.
"It doesn't mean anything yet. When you're wrong, I'm going to enjoy everything I put you through." Becky grinned back.
"What's this?" Summer was confused.
"We have a bet, loser becomes the slave of the winner for a day. She says Sasha will be last back, I say the twins."
"That's a gutsy bet Paige. Sasha planned the whole thing. She is probably long gone by now. I doubt she'll ever come back." Becky was the one grinning now after Summers comment.
"You're lucky you've got such a beautiful smile." Paige said, unable to stop herself stealing a kiss.
"Aww, I'm glad you two are still going strong." Summer said. Both Paige and Becky smiled back.
"That'll never change. We had a wobble, but we worked it out. But enough about past events. How much longer do we have you for?"
"They gave me 2 years for escape. Mostly because I talked. They wanted more. One guy said I could get 15 years."
Natalya laughed at that. "You talked because of that. You'd have never got that long, it'd be more than doubling your original time right?"
"Yeah, but it wouldn't have stopped me, if I took a day off my new sentence, it was worth it."
"Fine, but let be the end of you turning rat, ok?" Natalya sounded serious and they all knew she was.
Summer nodded. "I wouldn't do that to any of you. I'm going to go back to my cell, get reacquainted. It's been a stressful morning, and my neck hurts where that woman through me. I should stay away from her right?"
"More than I can explain. Come on." Charlotte hadn't spoken much since Bries name came up, but took the first chance she could to get away, and took Summer with her, back to the cell they would now be sharing once again.
"Speaking of Rousey." Natalya said once Summer had gone. "What was she doing. She gets in the middle of the argument, saves Summer and walks off?"
"Yeah, she didn't seem to be interested in anything till now. Do you think she was trying to break it up?" Becky suggested.
"Could be right, could be she wanted the first shot at Summer." Paige said, not convinced of Ronda's intentions.
"Whatever it was, she saved her from Mickie and her minions. If there was a good time to try and talk to her again, this is it." Natalya's idea was met by silence. Silence and shocked expressions.
"Are you nuts? After she sent Lita flying?" Becky tried to reason.
"Plus, do you want to do this without her?" Paige made a better point and Natalya shrugged, got up, went over to Lita, talked for five seconds and came back.
"She's fine with it, but warned me to be careful. So do you two have my back?"
Becky and Paige shared a look, almost communicating through their eyes. They both nodded and got up.
Ronda was sitting at a table, not doing anything, just drinking water from a cup. She seemed deep in thought. When she realised that there were people invading her personal space, she looked up.
All three of them saw the annoyance in her eyes. Natalya knew she was going to have to do the talking.
"Hi, we wanted to thank you for what you did. You saved our friend from probably a hell of a beating. I don't know why you did it, but we are grateful." Ronda stood up, looked at the three of them, her gaze settling on Paige. Quick as a flash, she had her hand around Paige's throat.
"No, stop!" Becky shouted. It would have attracted attention. But there were already guards there.
"Put her down Rousey, its time." The order got no response. The other guard tried.
"Cone on now, you know how this works, any violence and the deal's off. Dan's waiting for you, am I going to have to send him away because you broke the rules? Let her go now!" Something got through as Ronda began looking around, then removed her hand from Paige. Becky and Natalya got her away quickly.
"Very good" said the guard. "Now you know the routine." Ronda turned away from the guards, allowing them to place handcuffs on her and lead her out of the cell block.
Once they were a distance away, Paige sat down, trying to get her breath back, something that was made a little harder by Becky throwing her arms around her.
"Babe, my neck." Paige groaned.
Becky let go, then put her arms around her lower. "I'm sorry, this'll help." She put her head on Paige's shoulder and gently kissed her neck, then kept the kisses coming. Paige couldn't stop a little moan.
"Guys, save it for later will you!" Natalya said, half joking, half serious. She didn't want to see that.
"She's just making it better." Paige said, unable to help her smile. "But for once, the screws turned up at the right time."
"They were certainly convincing." Natalya agreed. I don't know what that guy Dan is but seeing him meant more to her than throttling you. You'd assume it's a visitor, but since when do they know names, or care for that matter?"
"If I'd had a visitor, i would tell you, but I can't." Paige said.
"I do hate that you haven't. I need my friend to visit me, tell me about the world. It's the closest I'll come to escaping." Becky squeezed Paige's hand.
"It's ok, I don't know what I'd say to them if I did." Paige replied. Quickly changing the subject, the conversation got much lighter for the next hour, until Ronda returned from her visit.
"She's back, maybe we should make ourselves scarce." Becky suggested.
"Well I don't want to have her hand on my throat again." Paige agreed, they all moved, but it was clear as they did that Ronda quickly changed her path to intercept them. No matter what they did, she was heading for them, and there wasn't anywhere they could go that she couldn't.
"Just hold firm." Was the advice Natalya had for them. "They were watching her close before, but we've got to expect the worst. Three on one won't bother her."
Ronda walked up to the three of them, and as expected, grabbed Paige, but by the shirt this time, pulling her ahead of the other two by a step. Paige tried to get ready to defend herself, but as quickly as she grabbed her shirt, Ronda let her go. The seconds passed and nobody said anything. Ronda then extended her hand to Paige. This was a surprise to all three and there was no response. Paige thought about it, looking Ronda in the eye, and then shook it, not understanding why.
At this point Ronda looked Paige in the eye, not letting her hand go. "I have to apologise. I did wrong. Forgive me." It wasn't phrased as a request, but a firm instruction, not that Paige would have refused. Ronda still had a hold on her hand.
"Forgiven. Please don't do it again. You're very strong, and scary. Can I go?"
Ronda let go of her hand, Paige took a small step back and saw Ronda's face drop a little, but only for a split second, before the more usual frown returned. Becky went to pull Paige back a little, but Paige studied Ronda's face for a moment.
"Do...do you want to sit with us?" Ronda didn't get the chance to respond before the Knockouts came over, getting in their way.
"You lot can get out of here, Mickie wants to talk to this one." Angelina stated, looking down her nose at all three of them while pointing to Ronda.
Mickie and Victoria followed them over. Ignoring Paige, Becky and Natalya at first. Mickie went right up to Ronda. "I don't care who you are, you don't get in the way of my business. You have two choices. Join me, or stay the hell out of our way. I think you could be an asset and I can make things much more comfortable for you. Or I can make life even more miserable. That's up to you. Think carefully. Vic?"
On cue, Victoria pushed Paige into the Knockouts, who held her arms. Victoria then blocked Becky and Natalya's attempts to get to her. Her strength was nullifying the numbers advantage.
"Prove your loyalty, take out one of my enemies. I know you can do enough damage to send her packing. Show me." Mickie demanded of Ronda who stared down at Paige who had been taken down to her knees. Behind them, Becky was frantic, trying to get to her girlfriend, the fear of what could happen taking over.
Ronda however, stared at Paige for a second, then stepped back and threw two quick punches. Paige had closed her eyes and was waiting for the impact. But it never came. She felt her arms go free, opened her eyes and saw that Angelina and Madison were on the floor, knocked out. Velvet did the most sensible thing she could at the time, and ran.
"You stupid bitch!" Mickie screamed, in disbelief and frustration at what happened. She looked ready to launch herself at Ronda, but Victoria got in between them and pulled her away.
Paige stood up, and went to Ronda. She wanted to thank her, but before she could, guards surrounded Ronda, pepper spray flying. Ronda was hit from more than one direction and dropped to a knee, clutching her face to cover her eyes. Two guards grabbed each arm and quickly had her in handcuffs for the second time in less than a few hours.
"Let her go, she was defending me!" Paige told the guards as they stood Ronda up.
"Yeah, right. Not a chance, she's going to The Lock. You can walk away or go with her." Paige didn't care at that moment, but Becky did.
"No, Paige please. You can't help her now, this isn't the time to fight. Remember what we said."
Paige saw the fear on Becky's face and the anger left her. She shared a look with Ronda as the latter was marched past them both and out of the block.
"Nattie, can I take her back?" Becky asked, not wanting to just ditch their friend.
"Sure, I'll amuse myself, you know it'll be lockdown now anyway." Becky took Paige by the hand and dragged her back to her cell. When they got there Becky wrapped both arms and legs around Paige.
"Please don't get involved with her Paigey." Becky asked. "She hurt you, and she nearly got you thrown in solitary."
"Bex, don't think I don't like having you all over me, and you are right. But she saved me too. And I think, I think I got through to her. But I'm not going to find out till she comes back.
"You mean, you think you can get her to help us?" Becky believed her girlfriend could do anything, but this still surprised her.
"I don't know about that. But I do think we aren't the only ones in need."
A/N: Thanks for reading.
Sorry that it has been lot longer than usual between chapters. If anybody is interested, the reason is I've embarked on a new story for the first time since I started this one way back when. It's called 'Be Mine'. It can be found on the wrestling section here, but is M rated so won't show up on a normal search. I believe that you could also find it through my user page as well. If you do give it a go, or if you already have, then thank you.
Fastlane was disappointing. My thoughts of making a guy who can work for two minutes twice a year the champion is probably as bad as many others, and I liked Goldberg in his prime. I was happy to see Bayley keep the title, I hope she survives Wrestlemania with it too. A long reign needs to happen. The hot potato and ppv win streak involving Charlotte overshadowed great work she's done this last year. I could go on and on. I'm sure many may disagree and that's ok too.
Thanks for bearing with me, this is far from done.
