A/N: Happy Birthday
Chapter 12
"This fucking sucks!" Jey Uso yelled as he threw a rag at a cafeteria table
He and the rest of class 1A, except for Becky, Charlotte, Sasha, and Bayley of course, were scrubbing the floors, walls, and tables of the cafeteria before breakfast was to be served. Jericho was walking in and out of the cafeteria, yelling at them to clean every single spot and to make sure everything was cleaned before breakfast at 6. It was currently 4:30 in the morning, so you could say that the group was beyond pissed. Everyone was dressing in sweatpants and shorts along with regular t-shirts and everyone looked super tired.
"How come we get stuck cleaning up this shit. There were hundreds of heroes here just sitting on their asses, but we're the ones that get called out and have to clean this shit." Jimmy yelled as he angrily slammed a bucket of soapy water onto the cafeteria table
"Yeah. All while the perfect four are sleeping in and getting more famous by the second" Baron said just as angry as everyone else
"Hey, guys come on. It's not so bad. We still get our chance at Heromania" Xavier said trying to cheer everyone up but this only caused the angry people, except for Finn, Big E, and Kofi, to throw wet rags at the boy, "Hey...Guys. Stop!"
Once they stopped Jericho came strolling in with shades over his eyes and a leather jacket draped over himself as she scanned the cafeteria, "You all still not done?"
"This is a huge cafeteria," Carmella said with her arms crossed as everyone else agreed
"Well that was a big apartment building that fell in on itself and yet, Bayley and the others seemed to handle that. So I think you all can handle this" Jericho snapped before kicking over a bucket of dirty water that Enzo had on the ground in one of the aisles, "Clean that up"
Jey growled angrily and went to charge after Jericho but Jimmy held him back, "Not worth it man"
Jey glared at Jericho's retreating form before brushing his brother off and turning to the class,
"This is fucking bullshit! They're already comparing us to those four. That's gonna be our lives. We are gonna be stuck in their shadow"
"Give it a rest man," Xavier said as he walked past the twin and patted him on the back as Kofi and Big E followed behind him, both picking up buckets of soap and water to continue cleaning.
AJ and Finn soon followed this and went back to cleaning and Enzo and Cass did the same while Carmella, the Uso twins, Paige, and Baron all continued to complain about the work. Soon once it was over and everything was cleaned, Jericho came in a dismissed the class causing everyone to head out except for those five.
"We have to do something about those four" Jimmy Uso said seriously to the group
Jey nodded, "The only reason those four idiots are being held on a pedestal is that they've taken initiative during battle. All we have to do is prove we're better than them"
"Well, how can we do that? We can't really just summon a villain to come in and attack" Paige said with her arms crossed
Baron shook his head, "No, but there is a place we can go."
With Rebecca
"Fuck" Rebecca screamed as she stumbled against her desk, falling onto one knee as she grabbed the desk and her head in pain.
She saw a flash of bright light and pain pricked the side of her head as Becky screamed in her head. Rebecca gritted her teeth and muttered as she shakily stood just enough to reach the pen and paper on her desk as she began furiously scribble down notes.
"Aaaaaaahhhhh"
Rebecca flinched as Becky's scream rattle in her brain sending jolts of pain and heat to flow through her body. The redhead carefully looked up across her desk to see a small mirror to see her eyes flash red causing her to cover her eyes and pull back away from the desk with such force that she fell on her back, "FUCK!"
"Make. It. Stop!"
Rebecca mentally cursed at Becky as she felt heat radiate down her arms while her hands clenched and unclenched, "What exactly would you like me to do princess?"
There was another loud scream in Rebecca's head as she and Becky both writhed in pain before Rebecca felt her hand move to her communicator watch without her control.
"Call someone...you idiot"
Rebecca immediately asked the watch to call Sami and tell him to get his ass down in the lab now. It took five minutes before Sami came slowly walking into the lab, "Becky?"
"Fuck," Rebecca said through gritted teeth on the floor as her back arched in pain. She had tried to say more but that was all she could get out. The pain was excruciating, it felt like she was being burned alive.
"Rebecca?" Sami called out as he ran over to her, seeing the girl lay on the floor, "What's going on are you okay?"
Rebecca's skin began to heat up and her eyes flashed red again causing Sami to stand back a little in shock, "Co..collar. Get the fucking collar"
Sami carefully stepped back before turning and rushing over to Rebecca's desk where she had hidden the collars in one of the draws. Sami soon came back to Rebecca and looked at her,
"Are you sure about this?"
"Do it" Rebecca muttered with her eyes closed causing Sami to nod before he opened the collar and placed it around the redhead's neck causing her to shoot upright and gasp for air. Sami stared at her in shock with his hands raised defensively, not sure what was going on.
"What the hell was that?" Rebecca sat there for a while as her mind finally cleared and Becky could longer be heard screaming in pain. The heat stopped as Rebecca's skin felt normal again and she quickly stood to look at the mirror on her desk to see that her eyes were back to normal. Rebecca gave a deep sigh in relief as she sat down in her desk chair while Sami slowly stood and looked around, taking note of the scribbles that covered the papers on Rebecca's desk, "okay...wanna tell me what's going on?"
"Something happened at the bank"
"The bank?"
"Yes"
"Does what happened at the bank tie into what just happened a few seconds ago?"
"Yes, you asshole. The girl in that villain group from the bank...SAnity. She uh….she..did something"
Sami gave her a curious look, "Something like what?"
"I don't know how to explain it but whatever she did…" Rebecca trailed off before eventually muttering, "It made it so that it's not just...me and Becky anymore"
Sami paused still confused, "What do you mean"
"I mean that in the bank, that girl created something, something else that took over this body. It completely pushed me and Becky to the back" Rebecca said nervously.
She had been awakened during the fight in the bank but not in the way that she thought she would be. Usually, when she was awake that meant she was in control but in this instance, she and Becky were both awake in the backseat while that...thing took over. However, when it was over it was Becky who gained the upper hand and took control of the body while Rebecca was forced to see darkness. That had been the first time where they were both "awake" in maybe, seven years and it had allowed Rebecca access into Becky's mind and vice versa. She had seen that Becky was planning on getting rid of her forever and Rebecca didn't like that very much. She decided to come up with her own plan as she took control of the body but first she had to figure out what that thing was.
"Well was it like another personality? I mean could it talk? Did you communicate with it?"
"No, I didn't communicate with it" Rebecca snapped, "That thing was like pure energy."
"Is that what was making you…" Sami waved his hands in the general direction of the floor
where Rebecca had been laying when he came in
"Sadly yes. Whatever this thing is, it did not like being put back in its box. It was getting angry and the angrier it got the more energy is generated and it felt like my body was a microwave and it was cooking Becky and me alive"
Sami paused for a second before saying, "You and Becky?"
"Yes"
"You're both awake or uh...conscious...at the same time?"
"Not anymore, but we were earlier and we were at the bank too" Rebecca said as she rolled her eyes before turning in her chair to look over the notes on her desk only to see that she had written, LET ME OUT, over and over again, "That thing wants to come out."
"You said it was generating energy. So do you have like powers now?" Sami asked
Rebecca paused, even though Sami knew everything about Rebecca and Becky being separated people and even though he was a part of Shane's evil army, he still didn't know about her ability to control fire. Nobody did except for her 3 teammates and Vince McMahon. Hunter, Stephanie, and Shane never mentioned it before and never asked her about it so she didn't know if their father had told them or not. When she was first being looked at by WWE she had caused a massive fire, and was "arrested." She was really just put in a holding cell and got bailed out by Vince McMahon himself, and the news said nothing of it, instead, the city talked about one of her inventions going awry causing an explosion, but it was never published or covered by the news. Vince had known about her powers then, and he was the one who paid her bail as well as cover everything up.
"No. It's not that kind of energy. It's like metaphorical energy" Rebecca said, dismissing the boy,
"It just means that this...personality...is very strong"
Sami nodded but then gave a small shrug, "What are you gonna do about it?"
Rebecca frowned as she thought, "I need to get that girl here."
Rebecca walked over to the hologram table and typed somethings in before video clips, pictures, and files on the villainous group popped up. Rebecca reached out and touched the file that hung under the picture of the girl causing information on her to pop up as a hologram. Sami stepped up beside her and read out loud, "Nikki Cross? It says that she and the others are being shipped to TNA. That place is like the Arkham Asylum of the real world."
"Well, I need her here. Tonight." Rebecca said seriously as she stepped closer to Sami so they were standing inches apart
"What do you want me to do?"
Rebecca gave Sami a devilish smile as she placed her hand on his chest and said, "I need you...to talk to Shane and get her here."
"You sure you want that girl here? I mean she brought out this...other personality. Do you really think it's a good idea to see her again?"
Rebecca patted Sami on the chest before turning and walking over to her desk, "I need her here so I can figure out how to get rid of this thing, and possibly Becky as well. So all you need to do is get her and I handle the rest. Okay?"
Sami nodded and turned to leave while Rebecca watched him before turning back to her desk and looking in the mirror. She carefully studied the collar around her neck before placing her hand on it, getting ready to unlock it. She took a deep breath before saying, "Alright freakshow...you wanna play? Let's play."
"I wouldn' do that"
Rebecca rolled her eyes and moved her hand away from the collar as she watched her reflection move to cross its arm. It was the exact copy of her but there were obvious burn marks on her arms, "I thought you were gone, Becky"
"So did I, but apparently not." Rebecca watched as the Becky looked around the mirror before saying, "Whatever that thing is...it's takin' up a lot of space. It keeps pushing me out and up here. That collar is the only thing keepin' it a bay"
Rebecca reached her hand up to the collar as if to threaten taking it off but Becky just cocked her head to the side and waited until Rebecca mentally cursed her cowardice and put her hand down on the desk, "We have to get rid of it"
"Oh really? I thought we'd keep it around...maybe train it as a pet" Becky said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes, "Obviously we have ta get rid of it. So let me have control and do what I do"
Rebecca laughed before saying, "You're forgetting that I'm the brains here"
Becky rolled her eyes, "Alright then genius work this out on yer own
With Charlotte
Charlotte sighed as she opened the door to her room and closed it slowly behind her. The blonde had just come from working out and training with her team, even though Becky didn't show up, so she was beyond tired. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail and her grey tank top was drenched in sweat. Charlotte walked up to the mirror above her dresser and leaned in close to look at the small cuts on her face from last night. She and the others had seen the nurse, well Edge, and he had healed them all so Charlotte and the others only had a few small scars.
As Charlotte was looking in the mirror she saw something laying on her bed behind her. The blonde looked at it carefully through the mirror before turning and walking up to it. It was a brown box with a small note tied to the box with string. Charlotte looked confused as she picked up the note only to immediately drop the note and back away from the box as she read,
From: Dad
Charlotte looked around her room trying to figure out how this box had gotten in her room before noticing that her window was open. She cursed under her breath as she rushed over to the window and poked her head out to see nothing but the side view of the building that showed a few buildings that stood next door and the woods which were behind the building. Charlotte pulled her head in and closed her window, standing still for a second as she felt someone behind her.
The blonde cocked her head to the side before pulling back quickly from the window as she turned and swung at the person in her room. As Charlotte did this the person was a man with a mask covering his face and he wore an all-white jumper. He ducked away from Charlotte's punch and used her momentum to push her forward as he stepped around her. Charlotte quickly caught herself and turned to the man, getting into a fighting stance and the man copied her actions but didn't move forward.
"Who are you?" Charlotte asked as she clenched her fist but the man didn't respond
Charlotte grunted and ran towards the man throwing punch after punch, all of which he avoided until he used both of his hands to push Charlotte away, causing her to fly back into the door with a loud thud. Charlotte slumped down against the door as the man slowly walked up to her and bent down in her face. Charlotte squinted as she looked at him, the mask was carved out of wood and looked like a demented deer. It had pointed ears and black space carved out to make a crooked, wide smile that stretched from one ear to the other and there were two small holes for eyes.
The man stared at her for a second longer before turning away and grabbing the box on Charlotte's bed. The blonde watched as the man grabbed the box and walked back over to her. He carefully handed her the box but Charlotte refused to take it. The man realized this and shook his head before he began slowly opening the box for her. Charlotte pushed her back further into the door as she watched the man open the box and pull out a picture frame that held a small picture of the Flair family. There was a young Charlotte and Reid sitting on their father's lap with their two older siblings standing to the right and left of Ric as he sat in a large chair. There was also a letter while the man held out for Charlotte and the blonde stared at him before slowly taking the letter.
Charlotte looked up carefully at the man before reading the letter out loud, "Dear Charlotte. The time has come...join me…"
Charlotte immediately stopped reading and went to stand but the man quickly grabbed her and forced her back into her seated position on the ground. The man twisted his head at her and forced the letter back in her hand. Charlotte watched him and grunted in pain before she continued reading in her head. Her father was writing her, telling her to quite this fantasy of being a hero and come home. He said that an evil is on the brink and he will not be able to protect her if she does not come home with her siblings now. Charlotte re-read this and looked up at the man with wide eyes just before he easily lifted her by her shirt and pulled her away from the door. He carefully sat her down on the bed and then went to open the door revealing another person, a woman this time, standing there with their head tilted and a similar mask covering their face.
The woman walked in and moved to stand in front of Charlotte as the man closed the door. Charlotte scooted back on her bed away from the woman who leaned her body forward so her face was inches from Charlotte's. The blonde carefully looked in the eyes of this mask as she thought about the letter saying to join her siblings before asking, "Megan?"
The woman tilted her head to the side before slowly reaching up and pulling off her mask to reveal a smiling blonde with blue eyes, "Hello little sister"
Charlotte's heart speed up as she then looked to the tall man, "David?"
Megan and David were the oldest children of Ric Flair and technically Charlotte's half-siblings. The two had different mothers from Charlotte and Reid and they both had followed in their father's footsteps of crime. The two were Ric's lackeys and were well known for causing mayhem, something Charlotte and Reid wanted nothing to do with. Megan smiled down at her little sister before walking over to their older brother, taking off his mask slowly to reveal that his mouth was sewn shut.
"Our dear brother has had a small...accident. So you'll have to forgive him if he isn't very talkative today" Charlotte felt her heart racing and her breathing was becoming uneasy. She hasn't seen her siblings since Reid had died and she kind of hoped she would never see them again. Megan handed David his mask back, allowing him to put it on again before she walked back over to Charlotte and held out her hand, "Come now. It's time to go home"
"I'm not going anywhere with you," Charlotte said angrily
"Oh, sweetheart...you don't have a choice." Megan said with an evil smile, "We saw you on the news. You look so cute up there playing hero."
"I'm not playing anything" Charlotte growled but Megan just laughed
"You and Reid always had such overactive imaginations." Megan soon frowned and began to get serious, "But...no more pretending Ashley. It's time to come home."
"No"
Megan sucked her teeth before glaring at Charlotte as she said, "You can either come willingly or we will force you"
Charlotte looked up at her older siblings and frowned before holding up her hands in defeat and standing. The taller blonde carefully stepped forward with her hands up as she raised her hands slowly behind her head, tapping her earpiece in the process. The piece was so small you couldn't really see it and Becky had designed it to blend in so it could be easily hidden from villains in situations like this. If you tapped it once it would turn on or off but if you held it long enough it would set off a warning notification to the others that said that you were in trouble. Charlotte watched as Megan smiled at her and stepped forward causing the taller blonde to turn her hands and blast Megan and David with ice, freezing them to the dresser. Charlotte quickly grabbed her backpack and ran out of the room, holding the button on her earpiece as she ran down the back stairwell.
"Charlotte what's wrong?" Bayley said first over the earpiece
"Ugh. My siblings are here" Charlotte said as she jumped over the railing to land on the first-floor landing before yanking open the door and running out just as she heard the third-floor door being slammed out by a sonic scream.
"I'm alerting the school," Becky said causing a loud siren to ring out in the hallways.
"Damn Becky that was fast" Sasha said only to receive a confused response
"Uh...that wasn't me"
"What?" Charlotte asked, "You said you were going to alert the school"
"Yeah and I was but before I could the alarm already went off"
"Well, what does that mean?" Bayley asked causing for a long pause until Becky spoke once more
"Someone else has triggered the alarms"
Charlotte ran out into the main floor of the building, standing close by the Vince Mcmahon statue just as the front doors busted open and two large men in masks came through the doors both in wooden masks as well, however, theirs looked more torn and looked like rabbits instead of deer, "Meet downstairs now. I think I found out what triggered the alarm"
"Copy that," Sasha said before the back stairwell door was busted open and Megan and David appeared, both wearing their masks again. Charlotte quickly turned to look at them, backing away as those two and the two large men all came marching towards her. Charlotte dropped her backpack and shot a blast of ice, freezing the two men before she turned and did the same to her siblings but Megan let out a sonic scream, shattering the blast of ice before it even touched her or David.
"How can she scream through that mask?" came Becky's voice causing Charlotte to look around confused upon not seeing the redhead actually there
"How can you see her?"
"Video feed. I'm in the lab. Figured you could use someone watchin' from above"
Charlotte made a mental note that Becky's accent was switching back and forth but tabled it for another time. Charlotte quickly rolled out of the way of a sonic blast that came just before David ran at her and speared her, but instead of letting her fall on her back he held her and lifted her up onto his shoulder. Charlotte kicked and tried to wiggle out of his grasp but he just held tighter as Megan walked up behind him so she was facing Charlotte.
"Stop fighting it, little sister. Father is dying to see you again" Megan said through the mask as she ran her hand softly along the side of Charlotte's face, "Come on David. Let's take the princess home"
Before Megan moved from in front of Charlotte, the blonde reached out and blasted her in the face with ice causing her to reel back in pain. Charlotte the created a long dagger in her hand made of ice and plunged it into her brother's shoulder forcing him to drop her. Charlotte quickly moved to stand only to feel herself getting pulled up, and once she was standing she saw Bayley helping her as Sasha used her powers to push the four away just as the two bigger men had broken free of their ice prison.
"You alright Charlotte?" Bayley asked causing Charlotte to nod
"Yeah. Fine" The blonde reassured her as she turned to look at her siblings who stood up and walked towards them, stopping once she was a few feet away.
"These are your siblings?" Sasha asked as she watched the two for any certain movements
"Yes," Charlotte said carefully
"Well...you're family seems fun," Sasha said sarcastically causing Bayley to hit Sasha in the side
"What do they want?" Bayley asked Charlotte in a low tone as the two just stared at the three girls while the two bigger men slowly got up
"They want me to go with them," Charlotte said carefully
"Well that's not happening," Sasha said, "Can't you just tell them to fuck off?"
Megan looked at Sasha and took a step forward causing the purple haired girl to hold up her fist as if she were ready to fight before Megan bent forward and let out a sonic scream which blasted Sasha back into the Vince statue, knocking her out. Megan then stood once she stopped scream and turned to look at Bayley but Charlotte quickly stood in front of the girl
"Enough Megan!" Charlotte said, "Go home"
"Gladly...once you come with us," The shorter blonde said as she held out her hand for Charlotte to take, "The end is approaching...come with us and save yourself"
"No a chance," Charlotte said before looking at Bayley, "Can you handle those two?"
Bayley looked at the two bigger men and nodded before charging up her powers and sending it to her whole body as she stepped one foot back and got some leverage. The brunette looked at Charlotte and gave a small salute before her powers sent her rocketing forward, taking the two bigger men off their feet as they all went smashing through the front door. Charlotte quickly blasted her brother with ice, freezing him against a wall before turning to her sister.
"Charlotte ya got backup coming. Five minutes" Becky said in Charlotte's ear just as Charlotte created two ice daggers, one for each hand.
"Don't need it" Charlotte said seriously as she charged at her sister and took a swipe at her, sending the two into battle. Charlotte quickly gained the upper hand and held a dagger to Megan's neck as she held her to the ground, "Where is father?"
"Come with us and I'll show you," Megan said with a bloody smile as the mask had been knocked off in the fight.
"I will never go with you"
"Not even if it is what Reid would have wanted?"
Charlotte rolled her eyes and allowed the daggers to disappear while she placed her hands on Megan's neck and allowed ice to flow through her, freezing her older sister around the neck, causing her to choke and slowly start freezing to death, "Don't you EVER say his name again!"
"He was my brother too" Megan choked out while Charlotte continued to send ice over her body.
Just as the ice was about to cover her mouth and nose a hand wrapped around Charlotte's shoulder, pulling her off her sister causing her to turn around and see Hunter holding her. He was wearing his typical black suit and tie and he gave a concerned look as he said, "That's enough Charlotte."
The blonde looked back at her sister just as Mick and The Rock came and took care of the two bigger men that Bayley had managed to knock unconscious. Edge had also come out and healed up Sasha and David before handcuffing the man.
"Are you guys alright?" Stephanie asked as she came up and stood beside Hunter, wearing a black and pink dress under a leather jacket.
"Yeah. We're fine" Bayley said as she walked up to them, standing next to Charlotte who continued to stare at her sister who was being handcuffed and collared.
"Charlotte?" Hunter asked causing the blonde to look back at him, "Are you alright?"
"That's my sister. She said that an evil is on the brink." Charlotte frowned, "Something big is going to happen"
"We'll look into it," Hunter said with a smile, "You all go and rest"
"Where are you taking them?" Charlotte asked
"Well, they'll be shipped off to TNA tonight. I'll have Mick and Jericho escort them." Hunter informed the girls just as Becky came down the main stairs and rushed over to them.
"TNA? Tonight?" the redhead asked having overheard the last part of the conversation
"Yeah. It's the only place strong enough to hold mutant villains and there's already a bus transporting some tonight" Hunter said with a shrug causing Becky too slowly nod while Hunter and Stephanie excused themselves.
Charlotte slowly turned around to watch as her sister glared at her while she was being dragged outside. Becky carefully watched Mick and Jericho escort the four bad guys out as she shoved her hands in her back pockets and stepped up beside Charlotte saying nothing.
Charlotte looked over at Becky and looked her up and down, "Are you, Rebecca?"
The redhead looked at her confused before saying, "What are ya talking about?"
"I heard your accent change over the coms. Becky told us about you" Charlotte said causing Rebecca to nod, "Besides, Becky would've asked if we were okay, and she would've been a little more helpful over the coms"
"I doubt she told you everything, but yes, I'm Rebecca." She said with a devilish grin before holding her hand out for Charlotte to shake but the blonde watched her carefully before looking back to where Sasha and Bayley were quietly talking with Edge
"Becky doesn't seem to like you, so I'll take that as a hint to be wary of you," Charlotte said with a serious look on her face
"Becky scared of me," Rebecca said with a frown, "Doesn't mean we have to get off on the wrong foot"
"Look. Becky is my friend and I trust her...not you"
"You would rather have me on your team in the end." Becky said as Charlotte turned to walk off, "I all brains and she's all heart. She's weak"
Charlotte nodded, "I'll take weak over whatever you are any day. Come find us when Becky's back"
Charlotte walked over to Sasha and Bayley to check on the purple haired girl, leaving Rebecca standing by herself with a scowl. The girl quickly pulled out a sticky note which had Sasha's name on it and wrote Charlotte's right under it before turning and storming off.
With Sasha and Bayley Later
"Ya know when you asked me to go on a date...I didn't think the day was going to start off with masked villains breaking into the school." Bayley said with a smirk as she and Sasha walked down the hallway of the school together. Sasha was wearing a white leather jacket and dark jeans with a black top while Bayley had on a blue and purple varsity jacket and jeans.
"How did you think the day would go?" Sasha asked as the two headed down the main stairs and headed out the broken front door.
Bayley smiled and pointed at the door causing Sasha to laugh before Bayley said, "Well for one I didn't think the villains would have masks. I thought it would be more of a...league of villains type things ya know."
Sasha laughed loudly, "Oh really?"
"Yeah!" Bayley smiled brightly as the two made it past the school's gates and headed down the street into the city. Sasha had asked Hunter and Stephanie for the night off for the two so they were easily allowed past the front gates instead of having to sneak out like when they were supposed to go to the movies, "Ya know...like maybe Vader or Bischoff leading a band of low-level criminals"
"Would that make you happy?" Sasha asked causing Bayley to smile brightly and wrap her arms around Sasha's
"Yes...but being on this date makes me just a happy so.."
"This still isn't a date," Sasha said with a joking smile
"I know" Bayley smiled back before the two walked in silence until they stopped at a small ice cream truck that only had a couple of teenage boys sitting at a bench in front of it and a teenage girl was working inside the truck. She had caramel skin and long, dark brown hair that flowed into a long braid under her paper hat and she was dressed in a white button up, red overalls and a bow tie with a name tag that said, Bianca.
"Hey," Sasha said, greeting the worker politely as she and Bayley approached the truck
"Hey! I know you two...you guys are part of that new group" The girl said, snapping her fingers trying to remember She quickly leaned her head out the truck and yelled, "Baby!"
A black man with short cut hair, a short dark bead and shades over his eyes even though the only real light was coming from the street lamps around the truck. He and another boy were wearing black warm-up jackets and matching black and yellow sweatpants, "Yeah babe?"
"What was the name of that new girl group WWE formed?" She yelled causing Sasha to flinch away from the loud noise
"The Four Horsewomen," He said before looking at Sasha and Bayley, "Woah. Woah. Woah."
He stood up and pulled his matching friend up with him. Bianca smiled and pointed at Sasha and Bayley, "Ain't these two the girls from that group?"
"Yeah. Man, that's so cool. You guys are like real life superheroes" He said before holding out his hand, "The name's Montez, that's my girl Bianca and this is my boy Angelo."
Angelo was bigger than Montez and almost intimidating as he towered over the girls but his cheerful smile made him seem more like a teddy bear as he said hello. Sasha smiled trying to be polite but Bayley seemed genuinely happy that these people knew them, "Hi guys I'm Bayley and this is Sasha."
"What are you guys doing here?" Montez asked with a boyish smile
"Just getting ice cream," Sasha said starting to get annoyed by the people
"Hey, It's on the house." Bianca said with a smile, "What can I get ya?"
"Uh...Bayley you can order first" Sasha said causing Bayley to blush before order a sundae while Sasha just orders chocolate ice cream in a regular cup.
The two took some pictures and signed some autographs for the teens before heading off and walking down the street. The two talked about anything and everything from past heroes like Eddie and Macho Man to their team now with Becky and Charlotte. They talked about their families and Charlotte's since her siblings came up and attacked them, and they also talked about what they wanted in the future. They both wanted to be the best heroes and Sasha had always thought that this was a solo mission, but recently she had been having other feelings. Sasha watched Bayley as she ate her ice cream happily, watching the way her nose crinkled as she smiled and the cute way that she hummed and practically skipped beside her, now buzzing with energy.
"You're staring," Bayley said, not looking at Sasha
"Am I not allowed to stare?" Sasha asked playfully
Bayley just smiled and the two continued walking and once Sasha finished her ice cream she wrapped her arm over Bayley's shoulder as they walked, "Do we have an actual destination or did you just want to go on a 5-mile hike?"
"I actually do like hikes." Sasha said with a shrug, "But there is something that I want you to see"
"How far away is this something?"
"Not far," Sasha said with a smile and the two kept walking until they turned into a small neighborhood. They eventually walked up to a small house, it was one story with a driveway and detached garage as the actual house was a tan color with contrasting red bricks and a wire fence was put up around the house. Sasha carefully led Bayley up to the gate, opening it and ushering her date in and Bayley looked confused but when she went to ask what they were doing here Sasha just held up her hand to stop her. Sasha smiled and walked up the two steps to get to the small porch and knocked on the door before waiting a minute.
"Sasha! Come in!" Bayley stared in slight shock as Vickie Guerrero grabbed Sasha's face and planted kisses on the girls face. Vickie turned and saw Bayley standing further away, "Come in, both of you, it's late."
"Thank you, Vickie," Sasha said as she took Bayley's hand and guided her into the house.
Bayley looked around in awe as the small house smelled of tamales and home cooked food and the walls were filled with pictures of Eddie, Vickie, and their kids. Vickie walked past the two and waved for them to follow her as she walked into the kitchen, "Sasha I told you about walking down here this late."
"I know Vick, but I brought Bayley with so I-"
"OH! This is the date you were telling me about" Vickie said with a raised eyebrow and a smile causing Sasha to blush while Bayley smiled and entered the kitchen. The kitchen was small like the house but big enough to have an island and bar stools and it had an open view into the living room where there was a small TV and a couch, "Well I'm glad you brought her by, I made tamales. You're favorite."
"They are my favorite," Sasha said as she walked up beside Vickie and stuck a finger in the pot she was cooking before tasting it, "But we just had ice cream"
Vickie shooed her away from the food and waved off her comment, "Well you can take it with you. I'm sure the rest of your class would be more than grateful to try some of my tamales"
"I'm sure, but…our class doesn't really want anything to do with us right now" Vickie turned and looked at Sasha as she and Bayley sat at the island across from her, "They're jealous of our success"
"Ah," Vickie said with a knowing look, "Success and fame breeds the knife of jealousy, which is sharp enough to cut any relationship. Your godfather lost many friendships when he started getting famous...but the one with your parents never died. They're good people. Tell your mother I say hello when you see her."
"I will Vick, but I also came over here for-"
"Ah. Yes, I know" Vickie smiled, "It's in the garage. Feel free to take it. I'll pack you both some food to go alright"
"Thanks," Sasha said before looking to Bayley, "Stay here I'll be right back"
Bayley nodded and smiled, watching as Sasha walked out a door in the living room with led outside before turning to see Vickie watching her with a smile, "It is good to see you again Bayley"
"It's good to see you too," Bayley said with a smile before holding her hand out, "Especially since we never met officially. I was at the funeral, but we never got the chance to talk."
"I remember you saving my goddaughter's life" Vickie smiled, "I was hoping to see you again and thank you but I've been so busy with the girls"
"Where are they?"
"Asleep...well pretending to be asleep. This house is so small I can hear all of their little footsteps. I could hear their laughter and talking and even breathing through how thin these walls are."
Bayley nodded, it was well known that Eddie and Vickie had 3 daughters who were 12, 8 and 6, but what Bayley didn't understand is, "Why are you living in this small house? I mean...not to sound rude, but Eddie was a top tier hero, he had to have made enough money to last well into your youngest's old age"
Vickie smiled and nodded, "That's true, but this house is my home. Eddie and I got it when we first got together, my children were born and raised here, and I will die here."
"Vickie-" Bayley said seriously at the older woman's mention of death but she waved her off
"Oh, it's just talk. I'm getting old, and I know I'll die eventually...I'm just saying when I do I'd like it to be here." Bayley nodded at this before Vickie carefully looked at her, "You and my goddaughter?"
Bayley bit her bottom lip and turned to look at the door that Sasha left out of, "I like her...a lot."
"And she likes you," Vickie said abruptly causing Bayley to laugh, "It's true. You should've heard the way she talked about you over the phone. She was so nervous"
"Vickie!" Sasha said as she came back into the house, having overheard their conversation, "Don't embarrass me"
"You were nervous?" Bayley asked with a teasing smile as she turned to look at the purple haired girl
"No" Sasha lied but Vickie crossed her arms and smirked
"Yeah right. She nearly worked herself into a fit" Vickie turned and packed up the tamales quickly while Sasha told her that everything was ready to go. Once everything was packed Vickie placed a kiss on Sasha's head before handing the tamales to Bayley, "You two be safe, and Bayley…"
"Yes, ma'am?"
"I look forward to seeing you again"
"I look forward to seeing you too," Bayley said with a smile before walking towards the doors as Sasha followed calling out
"Tell the little ones I said hello and that I'll come visit earlier next time so we can hang out"
"I think they would like that" Vickie said with a smile as she followed them to the door, waving goodbye.
Once that was done Bayley followed Sasha around to the front of the garage. Sasha smiled brightly and bent down to open the garage door but stopped before actually opening it, "Are you ready for the surprise?"
"Yes"
"Oh, that didn't sound excited. I said are you ready for the surprise?"
"Yes, you goof, just show me" Bayley laughed causing Sasha to smile before she yanked up the garage door revealing Eddie's red lowrider, "Wow"
"I know right. I figured you would like it since you're a big hero buff" Sasha said as she took the container of tamales from Bayley so she could examine the car, "Vickie is giving it to me. She said that Eddie wanted me to have it, so…"
"It's amazing," Bayley said as she carefully ran her hands along the side of the car
Sasha smiled and placed the container in the car before pulling out the set of keys, "Yeah. At least now, we don't have to hike back to the performance center, but there is one more place I want to take you first."
"I don't know," Bayley said causing Sasha to frown, "Ice cream, your god mom's house, the car….if you take me somewhere else then this is definitely a date"
Sasha gave a small chuckle as she walked around the car and opened the side door for Bayley, allowing her to get in before she closed it and leaned close the girl's face so their lips were inches apart, "It is a date"
Sasha pulled away before actually kissing Bayley and then walked back around the car and getting in. She quickly started the car and pulled out, pressing a button to close the garage behind them. Sasha drove them out on back roads and cliff sides until the got all the way to a cliff point that overlooked the city. Sasha cut the car off and the two hopped out and sat on the hood of the car looking out at the city.
"Thank you for coming on this date with me," Sasha said suddenly in a soft tone causing Bayley to look at her and smile
"Of course. I had a good time with you" Bayley said
"Just a good time?"
"It could get better," Bayley said with a smirk causing Sasha to lean in and ask
"How?"
Without a real answer, Bayley grabbed the back of Sasha's head and pulled her into a kiss. Sasha smiled into it as she felt electricity flow from Bayley to her, and at first, she thought it was just the passion behind the kiss but then she realized that it was actually Bayley's powers. Her energy that she uses for her strength was flowing through both of them, causing the kiss to feel ten times more intimate. Bayley smiled as she pulled away eventually for air before saying,
"That's how"
Somewhere Else
The van driving SAnity, and the four villains that attacked Charlotte slowly veered off to the right as it got off the highway and maneuvered onto a back road. However, it stopped. The eight members in the truck looked at each other confused, all chained to their seats and all wearing collars around their necks. They all carefully looked towards the two back doors as grunts of pain could be heard from who they presumed were Mick Foley and Chris Jericho, alsong with the other two guards that had been put in the front of the van for security purposes. Soon the noises stopped and footsteps could be heard coming closer and closer to the van. Soon the door was yanked off revealing three men standing there but the eight villains couldn't see anything because of a bright light shining on them causing them all to squint and look at the three shadows before them.
"Uncuff them" Came the voice of a man who's shadow stood in the middle causing a white man with a bigger stomach and dreads to hop into the van and free everyone with a set of keys, keeping their collars on, however.
"Who are you?" Eric Young asked confused but he got no response.
"Come with us and we shall deliver you to the promised land," Said the man with the dreads as a creepy smile covered his face
"Enough talk Bray. Get them into the bus and out of here now"
"Yes Shane," Bray said before guiding some of the villains while Megan and David walked up to the 3rd shadow figure and bowed their heads
"We are sorry father," Megan said quietly
Ric Flair shook his head, "We will try again. Ashley will return to us"
Megan and David nodded before following him and the other to the bus.
"Not you" Shane placed his hand on Nikki Cross's shoulder as she was about to walk by him, "I have someone who wants to speak with you"
The short girl looked at Shane confused but said nothing as he walked her to a car parked behind the bus. Once they pulled off 5 figures came walking out of the shadows, standing in the middle of the road watching the bus and car drive off.
"Holy Shit" Jey Uso said in disbelief
"Told you we'd find some shit," Baron said with a smirk
