Dani blinked her brown eyes and then pushed a piece of her black hair out of her face. "Er, you're the Miz, correct?" She asked awkwardly standing up and gripping her wrist gingerly.
The man stood as well and brushed off his jacket. He looked up and gave an awkward smile before opening his mouth to speak. "Call me Mike." He said giving a slight bow.
Dani offered a smile back "I'm Dani, one of the new 'recruits'." She said with a wink. She gripped her wrist and sighed as his gaze flicked to her wrist as well.
"Did that happen when we, more-or-less crashed into each other?" Mike asked stroking the light stubble on his rough chin.
"Yeah, but it will be no problem, really." She said giving her a reassuring smile. "I'll just go see the medics and get this bandaged up. I have training with the other four recruit divas tomorrow." She said picking up her gym bag and beginning to walk towards the doors of the parking lot. She was about half way through the doors when a hand was laid on her shoulder. She turned around, smacking the hand defensively with widened eyes.
"Calm down there, tiger." Mike replied giving a slight chuckle and a smirk. "I'm coming with you; it was partially my fault that that little bit even happened." He said motioning down to her wrist.
"You don't have to come." Dani replied leaning against the frame of the two double doors. "I can handle myself." She replied turning around again to avert his melting blue gaze. She crossed her arms softly and winced biting her lip.
"But I want to." The man replied walking next to her.
Dani shook her head and dropped her arms to her sides. She walked through a long corridor in silence and she looked down at her black and white converse. Soon enough they were in the clinic and a small, pretty nurse scrambled around.
"Please sit down miss, and Miz." She said curiously looking Mike up and down. Dani did as she was told and held her now throbbing arm. "Let me see your arm." The nurse asked grabbing her arm and turning it in a circle slowly. When her arm was twisted so much one way, Dani jumped and made a slight squeaking noise. Mike gave a quiet chuckle and Dani spun around to glare at him.
"It seems as if you've sprained your arm, miss." The nurse said turning and opening a large cabinet above her head.
"My name's Dani McFallon." Dani said with an irritated edge to her voice. She laid her wrist back down on her thigh and sighed. The nurse turned back around with some athletic tape and a cloth arm brace. The nurse gingerly wrapped Dani's arm in the athletic tape and then slipped the brace on slowly.
"There." The nurse replied smiling and looking up.
Dani nodded and dipped her head graciously. "Thank you." She said getting off the hospital bed and beginning to walk out the door. "Oh, I have training tomorrow; this won't put a damper on anything, will it?" She asked with a concerned look on her face.
"No, just be aware of your injury." The nurse said washing her hands and looking down.
Dani nodded slowly and walked out the door, closely followed by Mike 'the Miz.' "Not so bad." He said winking in her direction.
"Not so bad." Dani replied mimicking Mike's tone. She laughed softly and looked back at him with a grin. "This may be the beginning of a wonderful friendship." She said trying to sound wise and philosophical.
"Whatever you want to call it." Mike replied putting his arm around Dani playfully and then dropping his arm to his side.
"So, I hear that you'll be at training tomorrow with us? Going to mentor someone?" Dani asked looking up at her new friend.
"Yeah, Sheamus, Justin Gabriel, Wade Barret, Cody Rhodes and I." Mike said rolling his shoulders back as they walked down the long corridor again. "They put our names in a hat and the divas come up and pick out who their mentor is."
"I only know two of you." Dani said flatly crossing her arms across her chest.
"Doesn't matter if you know us, what does matter is that we're all pretty great superstars." Mike replied as they got to the end of the hall. He opened the door for her and they started to walk through the parking lot again. Eventually, the two got to their cars and Dani waved goodbye to 'the Awesome One.'
Dani got into her black Jeep Commander and smiled sinking down into the cushioned seats. She sighed happily and started the engine of her car. This really may be the beginning of a fantastic friendship. Dani thought pulling out of her parking place.
