ATM: Seth and the God Girls – A Whole New World
Bianca Belair and the God Girls have a hard time convincing Becky Lynch to stay after hearing that her plans to marry Finn Balor might be put on hold until Bayley brings Sasha Banks back from Saudi Arabia.
Chapter Four – The Stand-In
Miguel's, Midtown, New York City, NY
In the space of twenty five minutes, the bar / restaurant filled up with the most noisy visitors Miguel's had ever had. Reporters were everywhere trying to get a minute with the God Girls, who were known to be wrestlers by everyone around. Since the recent firing of Seth Rollins and the re-structuring of WWE Corporate, the news media wanted to know what his fellow wrestlers felt about the assault charges that had been raised against Seth by the McMahon-Hardy family.
The God Girls couldn't care less about that, all they cared about was making sure Seth got to Sasha Banks asap. Bayley was in Saudi with the Boss and Queen Melina right now and things were getting ugly. Terrorists had invaded Riyadh and were trying to occupy the Royal Palace in the Prince's absence. They were failing to make it over the wall thanks to the Boss's Gift of Blue Thunder but there would be more where that came from.
Everyone was talking about Sasha and Seth Rollins, but the God Girls' lips were sealed. They were under strict orders from Seth and the Ortons, not to say a word about Sasha or Stephanie McMahon. But the attention Seth was getting was aggressive and it was obvious that he was going to have to say something soon. Roman was his best ally right now but even the Big Dog was having a hard time keeping his mouth shut. He wanted to come to Sasha's aid but he couldn't do anything except stand by Seth's side like the loyal friend that he was. The God Girls were doing exactly the samething and there was strength in numbers. Charlotte and Alexa just hoped that they weren't about to lose one God Girl after what they just told Becky at the Fords' place a few hours ago.
"I'm getting married Alexa," Becky said defiantly holding a bottle of tequila with a shaky hand. "I'm getting married and that's that. I don't care what Bianca says, she's Seth's Treasurer of Secrets not mine,"
Becky raised the bottle over the rim of the shot glass but Charlotte pulled it away.
"No, you're not drinking. Let's talk about this Bex," Charlotte said as the Man reached for the expensive bottle of tequila.
"Give it to me, I need something to hold onto, since God's taking my future husband away from me," Becky said and she started to climb onto Charlotte to reach the bottle that the Queen was holding high up in the air.
Bianca and Montez Ford came into Miguel's and the Braid sighed on seeing Becky's reaction to the news from God about her and Finn's wedding.
"Looks like the Man's taking the news real well," Montez said sarcastically.
"I know, I better get over there before we all get thrown out of here," Bianca said but Montez held her back.
"You're not going over there baby," Montez said and Bianca tried to free herself from her concerned husband.
"You can't tell me what to do just because Seth's not here. I am under God's orders to make sure this assignment is a success and Becky is a focal point of all of this. Let me go!" Bianca said pulling back her arm but Montez tickled her until she laughed, "No fair!" Bianca said while laughing.
"Let's go back home, I'm sure the other God Girls can calm her down," Montez said and Bianca turned the tickle onto her husband.
"You laugh like an angel," Bianca said as 'Tez hit the floor laughing. "Yeah laugh it up baby, I'm going to see the Man," Bianca said.
As 'Tez held his side laughing, he watched his wife's pregnant body move towards the table swarmed by reporters all taking photos of a belligerent Becky Lynch and a concerned Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
"I said give me the bottle!" Becky cried grabbing at Charlotte's long arms.
"No just sit down and let's talk about this!" Charlotte said and a photographer snapped a photo of her struggling with Becky.
"Talk about what, how Seth Rollins is going to jail?!" the reporter asked and Becky turned around, cocked her fist and went to strike the reporter but Bianca blocked her fist, saving Becky from spending the night in a New York jail cell.
"Pull it back Bex," Bianca said and she twisted Becky's arm behind her back while Charlotte and Alexa encouraged security to keep the reporters away while they spoke to Becky in private.
"Get your arm off of my back," Becky said to Bianca as the bartender took the bottle of tequila away.
"Thank God you got here in time Bianca," the bartender said and Bianca smiled at him.
"We got this Josh, sorry about all of this. We're just getting used to working without Seth," Bianca explained and the bartender gave the God Girls a sympathetic smile.
"Its all over the news, Seth's in real trouble, isn't he?" the bartender asked but Bianca didn't respond. Instead, she turned her focus to Becky Lynch and muscled the Man over to the booth where the God Girls were sitting. Once the reporters were out of sight, Charlotte and Alexa joined Bianca and Becky on the couch.
The Irish lass sat with her hands in her hair, pushing the huge red locks back out of her face as she contemplated God's latest update to the God Girls.
"Tell me one more time Bianca, am I supposed to take Sasha's place as Seth's wife, yes or no?" Becky asked agitated and Bianca hesitated.
"I can't answer that Becky, I told you – "
Becky cut Bianca off and slammed her foot against the booth causing Charlotte and Alexa to jump back.
"- Yes or no Bianca!" Becky roared and Bianca put her hands up innocently.
"I can't answer the question Becky! I don't know the answer okay? What I do know is that God said Sasha and Seth won't be together for awhile and to prevent Seth from doing anything stupid while they're apart, you need to get closer to him. That's all I know," Bianca explained. "It doesn't mean that you and Finn won't get married but it doesn't mean that you will get married in June either,"
"I have been planning this wedding non-stop for weeks Bianca, what am I supposed to do with my life now? I want to get married, I want to plan my future, I can't do that if Finn leaves me!" Becky cried and Bianca sighed.
"You have to make yourself available to Seth the same way we all have Becky," Bianca said. "And that's the bottom line because God Almighty says so," Bianca squeezed Becky's hand reassuringly as the Man slammed her head against the wall enraged. "It's not a sex thing okay? Get your mind out of the gutter Becky, not all relationships end in the bedroom,"
"They do with me Bianca. I've never been friends with a guy that I didn't eventually sleep with. I am not the God Girl you want spending that much time with Seth Rollins," Becky said and she took a deep breath, clearly she was uncomfortable with this whole situation.
"We understand Becky, especially after what happened with the sapphire necklace," Charlotte Flair said and Becky felt anguish wash over her at the idea of being in anyway intimate with Seth Rollins.
"I need a drink," she said as the pressure from doing God's will forced her head into her hands again. Bianca pulled Becky's head back and turned it towards her.
"This is not like all your other relationships, this is Seth Rollins. He is God's Prayer Warrior and he is on assignment. God would never ask you to do anything that would offend His word and His word says that you should trust Him and lean not on your own understanding. This is not some sexual liaison Becky, this is intimacy on a whole other level. This is companionship with clothes on. I know it is hard to get your head around but if you trust God's will for your life, you will do this and you will not be afraid of losing Finn over what God has asked you to do,"
Becky stared into Bianca's eyes; the eyes of Seth's Treasurer of Secrets were always honest but for some reason, Becky couldn't trust Bianca about this.
"The fact that you can't tell me if I postpone my wedding will cause me to lose Finn is what bothers me Bianca. You can't tell me if I do this I won't lose Finn, so that means that there's something you're not telling me," Becky said.
"And I don't have to tell you Becky because it doesn't matter if Finn leaves you or not. Ultimately, the only thing that matters is that you be there for Seth, just like all of us have to be there at Seth. The difference is that you have to be there for him in a way that would make any man uncomfortable, which is why God wants this to happen now, before you get married. It sure saves Finn from going through the heartache of watching you devote your time and energy to Seth Rollins and not him. I think that's fair, its not unreasonable Becky. The only thing that would be unreasonable is if you say no to this when God wants you to say yes. This is our assignment Becky, I'm here for you girl but in a few months, Charlotte and Alexa are going to need you to be there for them because I'm going to be giving birth to my baby girl. Please say you're all in Becky, please say that you don't care what it costs, say that you are going to be obedient to the will of God and be there for Seth while Sasha is away. Please Becky, say you'll commit to this one hundred percent?"
Becky chin crumbled, "I can't Bianca. You're asking me to choose Seth over my own life!" she said emotionally.
"If you don't do this, Seth and Sasha will lose everything and so will DX. Please Becky, say you'll do this!" Bianca pleaded and Becky stared at Bianca seriously while Charlotte and Alexa waited anxiously for her reply.
"Would you do it?" Becky asked Bianca and th frowned at her.
"What?" Bianca asked furrowing her brow.
"Would you do it, would you leave 'Tez to be Seth's pseudo-wife?" Becky asked Bianca.
"It's not the same Becky," Bianca said.
"It is the same Bianca," Becky disagreed.
"No, it is not the same. I am married, you are engaged, it is not the same," Bianca argued.
"So because you've got a ring on your finger that says 'Tez is your husband, you get off without a scratch, while I on the other hand, being merely engaged, have to tell the man I love to hold off on putting his ring on my finger because Seth's more important than he is. Is that what you're telling me Bianca?!" Becky argued and Bianca thought back to her last Bible study and used Scripture to make her point.
"Marriage is like a cord, the Bible says it is a cord of three strands. One of the strands is being pulled away from him Becky and we don't know how long that cord is going to be holding on for. Sasha is in so much danger only God will be able to save her. So, in the meantime, God has asked one of Seth's closest and dearest friends to step in, temporarily, to stop that cord from breaking. Your heart is so pure, you don't have any agenda other than God's will for Seth's life to be performed. Don't you get it Becky? You're Seth and Sasha's only hope. So step in and be the God Girl we all need you to be right now. I can't do this, my marital cords are bonded. Taking this on would be like unravelling myself from God and my husband. God needs you to hold the cords together, so you have nothing to worry about Becky. God chose you for this and we know you won't screw it up. You are the right God Girl for this job," Bianca explained and Charlotte and Alexa smiled at Becky's reluctant face.
"But I won't have Finn by the time this assignment's over will I?" Becky said and Bianca shook her head back and forth.
"I don't know Becky and even if I did, we still need you to do this," Bianca said and Becky looked over at Alexa and Charlotte who were waiting on Becky's response with baited breath.
"Okay, I'll do it," she said finally. "I'll postpone the wedding and I'll make myself available to Seth but you guys better be there for me when I need you. If Finn calls off this wedding I'm going to need you guys to be there for me,"
Alexa and Charlotte squeezed Becky's hand along with Bianca, "Of course we'll be there for you. We're your girls Becky!"
Bianca corrected them, "Actually, we're God's Girls," she said and she kissed Becky on the head while the Man contemplated her future as the most unlikely stand-in for the Boss.
"Is everything okay now?" Tez asked coming over to the God Girls and Bianca nodded at him reassuringly.
"Yeah 'Tez, everything's going to be just fine," she said and she smiled at Becky who looked at her earnestly. "Let's go see Seth,"
