Well here we all are again. Last chapter we saw Christian show up and gain a three count on John while JBL got inside Jason's head. What's gonna happen this time? Read and find out. Oh, thank you to all the nice people who reviewed this story.

Here we go.

Brotherly Hate-Chapter Seven

Teddy Long was sat in his office going over some contracts for new talent he was trying to bring in, some of the resumes he was seeing were quite impressive, especially that guy… He was interrupted by a loud knock on the door.

"Come in" he called, he glanced up as Jason walked into the room, he closed the file he was looking at and sat back. "Can I help you Jason?"

"Yeah you can, I came here to say that I decided to take you up on that offer you made last week".

"That's good playa; remember though if you attack JBL tonight after agreeing to this offer I will suspend you without pay".

"I know and I won't".

"Good, so which cabinet member do you want tonight?"

"Orlando".

"You know I can't grant you a title shot…"

"I don't want a title shot; I just want to kick someone's ass!"

"Alright, alright, calm down playa, O.K. its official. Tonight it's gonna be Jason Cena, one-on-one with Orlando Jordan, non-title no cabinet interference match".

"That's just what I needed, thanks boss".

"Anytime playa…Oh! And Jason, one more thing" he added as Jason stood to leave. "Tell your brother that he's gonna defend his title against Christian at The Great American Bash, Would you?"

"Sure".

"Thanks playa" Jason left as Teddy returned to the contracts. "…Now then, Lashley or Kid Kash?"

JBL walked through the backstage area glaring at anyone and everyone he walked by. "No interference? No cabinet interference? Not even after the match? That Theodore Long is gonna get his someday and…" his thoughts were interrupted by a face he hadn't seen before on Smackdown. Oh great another RAW draft, I thought we had it good when Booker left on Monday but this guy has an ego the size of Texas and a brain the size of…" An idea popped into his head, he walked up to the guy "Hey, You're the new guy here, right?"

"Yeah?"

"Listen, I'm JBL, you probably know me already, but I need to talk to you".

"What about?"

"Listen kid, I know that on RAW you had the world at your feet and dozens of opportunities to prove yourself. However, over here that ain't gonna happen". He grinned as he saw the guy swell with fury.

"Why not?"

"Cause you see, over here, management chooses to favour those who don't deserve it, such as the Cena brothers, since that younger one showed up no one has had a chance. BUT, there is a way to get around it".

"What's that?"

"You go out there and do what the two drafts before you have done. You go out there and beat the living hell out of someone, it worked for Benoit and Christian".

The guy thought for a moment. "You know something JBL? You're right, tonight I'm gonna make an Impact on Smackdown! (A.N. very easy joke there TNA fans) Thanks for the talk".

"Anytime man" JBL watched the guy walk away. "Just as I thought, all muscle no brain". He walked away grinning. He didn't notice Paul London sticking his head round the corner behind him checking that the coast was clear before taking off in the direction of John's locker room.

Jason was sat on the sofa in the locker room, staring off into space; Mara was sat next to him watching the monitor. John walked into the room.

"Hey kids, sorry I took so long but those fans wouldn't take…"

"Do you mind? I'm tryin' to focus here!" Snapped Jason.

"Sorry bro, it's just…" suddenly Paul London burst into the room.

"Jason! Jason! There you are, listen…" he trailed off as John grabbed his arm.

"Do you go barging into everyone's locker rooms without knocking?"

"Sorry man, but I got more important things to worry 'bout" he turned to Jason "Jason I've just seen JBL".

"What about him?"

"He's tryin' to get someone to take you out!"

"How do you know?" Asked Mara.

"Cause I just heard him talkin' to the new guy! I didn't see who it was but…"

"Paul, calm down" cut in Jason "I don't think I have anything to worry about".

"Why not?"

"Number one, There is no cabinet interference in my match. Number two, who in their right mind is gonna listen to JBL?"

"The new guy did".

"Listen, I'll be fine, if anyone does get involved, I'll kick their ass with Orlando's".

"Man, you are crazy!"

"Told ya, now if you all don't mind my match is next".

Orlando was already in the ring when Jason's music hit. He suddenly found himself feeling worried but JBL's words came into his head 'Don't worry I got an equaliser waiting in the wings'". He smirked as Jason and Mara made their way down the aisle. "Screw the equaliser, I'm gonna kick this punk's ass myself!" As soon as Jason got in the ring Orlando jumped him and began to pound on him, he pushed Jason into the corner and punched away at his ribs; he whipped Jason into the opposite corner and opened up on him again. Jason pushed him away but Orlando was on him again pounding him down to his knees. Mara jumped up onto the apron and started abusing Orlando, who walked over and shoved her down; he turned to pick Jason up only to be pulled into a roll up for the three! In less than a minute! Jason immediately bailed to check on Mara.

"You O.K.?"

"Of course, it'll take more than that to put me down".

Jason laughed and kissed her on the cheek, she got the funny feeling again. Jason helped her up and they walked arm-in-arm up the aisle. At the top Jason turned, Orlando was throwing a fit in the ring, he looked near tears. Jason turned to leave…. Just in time to be met with a clothesline that knocked him backwards into Mara, Jason's attacker was on him immediately, punishing him with boots and stomps. He picked Jason up and slammed him into the crowd retaining wall. It was at this point that Jason saw his attackers face. "No wonder JBL was able to persuade this guy to jump me" he thought "He's about as smart as a goldfish, Masterpiece my ass!" Chris Masters then proceeded to pound on Jason some more before throwing him back into the ring, Orlando was there to knock him down with a punch, he bounced right back up into a sledge from Masters, 'The Masterpiece' went to pick him back up but Orlando stopped him.

"Put this little punk in the Masterlock!" he yelled.

Masters complied and pulled Jason into a standing position while in the hold, Orlando added to the punishment by punching Jason in the face and ribs, Jason felt himself fading and looked round desperately for help. Mara was still down on the aisleway and John was nowhere in sight. Suddenly Paul London's music hit and the Cruiserweight champion came sprinting down to the ring; Orlando was there to meet him with punches before quickly giving him a flatliner on the Cruiserweight title belt, Paul rolled back to the outside. However John was now charging down to make the save, Masters broke the hold and bailed, Orlando quickly followed him, John went to check on Jason.

"Kid, are you O.K.?"

"I've felt better" came a weak reply "How's Mara?"

John looked round; Mara was slowly getting to her feet at the top of the aisle.

"She'll be alright, just a bit dazed".

"And Paul?"

"He ain't gonna be getting up for a while".

"For the last time I'm fine! Just get the hell off me!" Jason yelled at the EMT, once back in the locker room John had run to get a medic, who then gave Jason a thorough check over, including tests for a possible concussion, Mara and Paul were also checked out.

"Well?" John asked the EMT when he left the room.

"Your brother's fine, if a bit rude, the girl's a little dinged, probably from the impact of Jason hitting her, a little sleep and she'll be fine, and London has a concussion".

"Thank you" John walked into the locker room, Jason was sat on a bench staring at the floor.

"Feelin' better?"

Jason nodded but continued to stare at the floor. "John… How do you manage to cope when everyone wants a piece of you?"

"I don't, I just keep coming back for more. You know how I am, never back down and never quit, why?"

"It's just… I don't… I don't think I have what it takes".

"What's brought this on?"

"All the beatings I've taken over the last two weeks, maybe it'll be better if I just quit".

"Don't say that! You're more likely to succeed than half the locker room, especially jackasses like Buckwheat and Masters".

"Do you really think I can beat JBL?"

"It's not a question of what I think; it's about what you think".

"But do you?"

"Yes I do! You know why? Because I've seen you take inhuman beatings your whole life, like when those kids at school bullied you, you just came straight back at them, what the hell ever happened to that kid? Where's the Jason Cena that never EVER let anyone walk over him without a fight?"

"He grew up and joined the real world".

"Listen! Why do you think Holly said you where the best rookie he's faced in a long time? You took everything he threw at you and then some! Don't you ever say you can't do something! You're a Cena! Never back down and NEVER quit! You worked your ass off to get here, now you just gotta push that little bit harder".

John's words started to take effect; he could see Jason's mind working. "Maybe you're right John, so what should I do?"

"You should get rid of those stupid doubts! Get rid of them and think about this, the Cena brothers are going to 'The Bash' me with a title to defend and you with a chance to make your mark on this company, and we are BOTH gonna walk out victorious!"

"But what about Masters? He wants some of me too?"

"I thought about that, next week he's gonna be a guest on the Cabana, so what you gotta do is…"

Well here we are at the end of another BH chapter, Jason has once again had his ass whooped and now feels he might as well quit. What's gonna happen? Find out next time!
