The final product of Hellcat and Doves new intros had been submitted to AEW and All involved in their making were nervous as to if they would get the approved from the company so when Jericho got the greenlight for them a little celebration was held between Doce and himself before either would let the others know. Using the shower as cover both Dove and Jericho were on the floor of the showers making love after two weeks apart and were needing more than a little time together. Once they both were done, they helped each other wash up before getting ready for the night. It was Wednesday night and Dove was only booked for Dark tapings after Dynomite ended so she had lots of time to change where Jericho didn't and was in a complete rush.
Dressed in her normal clothing, that was Dove's gear, she sat watching the show from out in the arena where not too many fans noticed her with the hood up covering her hair but security knew and kept an eye on her non the less. when the JAS came out and Judas started playing Dove was singing right along to her boyfriend's music and joined right in cheering for him. That was until he was attacked out of nowhere by a member on his old faction and his new one was busy fighting to save their own asses. Hopping down from her perch on the railing she was sitting on Dove ran as fast as she could down through the crowd towards the stage knowing in her gut this wasn't planed because Jericho wasn't getting up.
When the camera caught a hooded figure rushing for the stage, both Danhausen and Hook left their own area's and also made their way to the ring, both knew who that person was and that they would need help.
By the time Dove reached the stage she was in full Catherin mentality and smirked when Danhausen tossed her 'Martha' before she dove into the ring. Both Hook and Danhausen helped cover her from the outside while she went right after MJF and the other two former Inner circle members whom for some reason joined together to attack the former leader. Swinging the hammer with one hand or the other she hit several across the stomachs, dropping them before swinging low from behind and hitting MJF right in-between the legs before he could smash Jericho in the head with the steal chair for a third time. Once he was down the crowd roared as the locker room emptied with both Billy Gunn and Dustin running right at Dove (Catherin) to stop her so that the medics could tend to Jericho who still hadn't moved from his place in the ring behind her feet.
It stunned everyone that it took the two men together to hold the smaller female back with how skilled she was in using that sledge hammer precisely to make points known than to cause serious injury. Once Billy Gunn had a hold on her Danhausen disarmed her and pointed to the medics now helping her boyfriend. That's when she screamed and lost the ability to stand, tears were running down her face but the hate for the once behind it still shone brightly as MJF made an attempt at getting a look at Chris Jericho and a frightening growl came from her throat that had Billy adjusting his grip and Dustin rolling out to get the man away from the EMT's. Once Jericho was taken into the back dove shook herself free and took her hammer back from Danhausen and demanded a mike.
"Hold it right there … All of you!" She demanded in a deep frightening tone speaking to both sides of the fight she ran in to save her boyfriend from. Walking towards the stage side of the ring she pointed her hammer at each member of the JAS, The Innercircle and MJF. "Sleep with one eye open... ALL OF YOU!" she stated before dropping down and marching off into the same direction as the EMT's. Once she was out of sight of the fans, she tossed Ruby 'Martha' and ran off to find Jericho and see how bad his injuries were.
"Steph..."
"I saw, Go! I'll tell them there was a family emergency!"
Giving her keys to Danhausen, Dove road in the ambulance with Jericho as they headed to the hospital to have his injuries better assessed. He was still unconscious and that in itself was scaring. Reaching out she never let go of as they made the long ride through the city only to have his hand ripped away from her when they took him into the emergency room and she was then sent to the waiting room after giving them the papers from the AEW's medical team on his injuries.
For the longest time in her sober life Dove sat alone in a dark corner of the ER waiting for word on her boyfriend. In that time a few of their friends came and sat with her but only Danhausen, Ruby and Hook and Jack Hagar stayed by her side well through the night until she was finally called back. Walking back through the ER she gripped her arm tightly as the anxiety of ten years prior (ironically to the day) came back on her. Only once she was led into the room it wasn't a bed for her but Jericho's whom she was told was resting comfortably until a room opened up in the hospital. Pulling a chair right up next to the bed she took a seat and rested her head by his hand and closed her eyes.
She wasn't asleep long when she felt something rest upon her head. Snapping her eyes open she jumped seeing Jericho smiling down at her from where he rested back on the bed with a neck brace still in place. "Hey Baby," he whispered lovingly as he motioned for her to come closer. Very nervously she sat on the edge of the bed and rested her upper body down along his and cried big sobbing tears. Wrapping his arms around her back he held her lovingly and whispered a mix of her favorite songs. He didn't know a lot of what happened after that first hit to the head in the ring but now wasn't the time to ask.
"Hey Kitten, Chris" a deep voice spoke up from the doorway "I can't leave you two alone for a month can I"
Looking up Dove was shocked to see an exhausted HHH standing in the doorway to Chris's room "Poppa..." she called out getting up and hugging her adopted father tightly.
"What are you doing here Paul?" Jericho asked in a hushed voice as his head was starting to pound.
"What happened on live TV is why I'm here. Everyone just got introduced to Martha on live TV!" he explained taking a seat next to who he considered his unofficial son-in-law.
"Martha? Baby what happened?" he asked looking in-between the two.
"MJF and others attacked you and your JAS were busy trying to save their own asses except for Jake and Sammy. I knew in my gut it wasn't scripted so I ran out to help keep you safe until back up got there." she tried to explain almost too frightened to go near him right then.
"I was watching on tv and called Steph and here I am. She's telling work I have a family emergency to handle for an undetermined time. So, I flew out here to help out. She put both of your old factions on notice, Chris. And I say both because you better dump the ass clowns in the JAS except for the two she mentioned. They were the only two trying to you while the others were too worried about themselves.
"On notice? What did you do baby?" Jericho asked worriedly as he reached out to guide her back to sit on the side of his bed.
Hunter chuckled deeply "she simply told them to sleep with one eye open!" he explained for her as he watched them together. "I've already spoken to the Dr here and as they have no room to keep you, I'm taking you both home. Once I know that you're going to be alright I'll head back home and from there. But, until you're back in action in AEW don't count me out of getting back at those assholes..."
He tried to shake his head no "I can't ask you to do this Paul. You know you can't get back in the ring again!"
"You're not asking, I'm telling you I have no plans on getting in a fight. Just scaring the living daylights out of them" HHH stated with a mischievous smirk. "Someone has to keep our Catherin under control while you're out of action." he stated earning a nod from Jericho in agreement.
