Listen to Her Voice

The Time Is Now

(Lou's POV)

"Good Night, sweet princess Randy whispered in my ear." I recalled to Nancy as I felt a chill of fear run down my spine. I remembered him getting so close to me after RKOing me and being scared of what he was going to do next. I looked at Nancy who could clearly see the fear in my eyes.

"So Randy was quoting Hamlet? I wonder why, that's a very interesting piece of literature to quote… I wonder why he chose that piece of literature." Nancy inquired while I just sat there with my arms crossing my chest angrily, I really wasn't here to take about my arch nemesis and his demented psyche I was here to work through my issues.

"I don't care, Doc, he's Randy Orton he hears voices in his head they talk him and understand and all that stuff." I muttered at her while throwing a glare in her direction.

"Louisa, that's his theme song not his real life personality and psyche." Nancy retorted back at me. I sat up from the chair I was in and locked eyes with her while keeping my jaw clenched. Now I could see the look of fear in her eyes from my angry eyes.

"You tell me that when you're in a wrestling ring with him and he's staring you down. Tell me he's not a manipulative cold over jealous jerk just trying to get what he wants and nothing else." I practically shout at her. She cowers as I realize something. If I'm acting like this, that means I'm no better than him. I sigh to myself. What have I become?

"So I think I know the next part of your story, but I might be wrong." Nancy says aloud as nod to her.

"Yep, this is where Shawn, Hunter, and John help me find someone who would willingly train me. But who they found was what probably got me through the whole situation." I say with a smile as I recall listening to Hunter argue with John and Shawn about my safety.

"She's going to be okay, right?" asked a worried John looking to Hunter who was staring directly at the unconscious Louisa who was laying on the couch in DX's dressing room right now.

"The trainer says she most likely will be bruised and have a bit of a headache when she wakes up. Orton's RKO certainly did a number on her, the bastard…" growled Triple H.

"I want him, Hunter, do you hear me! Lou doesn't deserve this. That good for nothing hurt my girl, so I'm going to repay the supposed one man destiny for his little stunt, when I get my hands on him…" Cena said while raising his voice and making a chocking motion with his hands pretending that he had Orton's neck and was suffocating the man.

Triple H looked at the young woman lying on the couch still unconscious after the attack that Michael Cole and Legacy had delivered to her. There were minor cuts on her arms from falling to ground when Cole attacked her. The bruising was beginning to show on her neck from the RKO and the several punches she took earlier that evening. Lou's hair was falling over her unconscious face but even in her lifeless state the young woman resembled both Shawn and Rebecca to a perfect tee. She was beautiful just like her mother had been.

"You'll make some man very happy one day," Hunter whispered into her ear as John continued to pace the room. Even though Hunter was not related by blood to the young girl sitting before him Shawn was as close to family as he had, the bond between the two was remarkable. So if Hunter felt that Shawn was like his brother than that would make Louisa his niece, when Shawn had called him Uncle Hunter in front of her, he knew that Shawn meant it but Louisa was just beginning to accept her new family, so Hunter encouraged Shawn to let Louisa make the decision of when she could call him that.

"Where did Shawn wander off to?" questioned John as he stopped his pacing and looked at Louisa who was slowly beginning to stir on the couch.

"He went to go find Stephanie, he wants Orton's ass suspended for what happened to Lou tonight. I doubt it will happen though old Vinnie Mac will say the ratings were the highest we ever got because of his actions, and you know what high ratings mean," said Triple H with an eye roll as John joined him in finishing his statement.

"More ratings means more fans means more money," the two said in unison. But John then looked at the young woman who was tossing and turning on the couch in the locker room. Then he looked Triple H dead in the eyes. But unlike earlier that evening when the two men locked eyes they weren't competitive and cold, they were worried for the little brunette girl lying there thanks to some psychopath who wanted Shawn Michael's daughter to join him in his little group.

"How did Randy even know that she was Shawn's daughter?" questioned John while shaking his head. Instantly, Hunter's head shot up from hearing this statement out of the young wrestler.

"How did you know about that? Shawn told her not to tell anyone!" exclaimed Hunter while standing up ready to protect his "niece" from anything Cena would try to do to her. Quickly, John held up his hands in self-defense to protect himself from the Game.

"I know because after that night Lou super kicked DiBiase I found her in the hallway balling her eyes out and I was not letting her sit there by herself, I saw Orton lurking around earlier and there was no way I was leaving her." John explained, "So I asked her what was wrong and she told me everything. That poor girl, having that bomb shell dropped on her like that."

John shook his head in disbelief at the memory, she had come so far since then and now she was being targeted by John's arch nemesis just because she was the daughter of a legend.

"Cena, was there any chance, any at all that, Orton heard you two talking?" questioned Triple H.

"I… I… I don't know…" John answered grimly looking over at Lou. "Hunter, she's not safe here if Randy knows she is Shawn's daughter. He will make her life a living hell. She has to leave."

Hunter looked at the ground. He knew that too. Orton was a dangerous one to be playing with. Hunter had suffered too many ill effects of Randy's rage before he did not want Louisa to be on the receiving end of that either.

"You know there is another option…" said a returning HBK who was carrying two ice packs and placing them on Louisa as she jumped a little still not opening her eyes but moaning at the cold.

"Where have you been?" questioned John who turned to Shawn who was now sitting next to his daughter and looking at her with a fatherly look on his face.

"Talking to Steph, I got her to give us three on one match against Orton next week with his little Legacy friends barred from the entire arena. That bastard is ours, boys." Shawn said while continuing to look at Lou.

"So Shawn, what's this other option that you spoke of earlier?" asked Hunter while taking a seat across from Shawn in a plush leather chair and looking at his best friend.

"When Lou showed up I promised I wouldn't ever let her become a wrestler, but I think if Orton's coming after her it will give her a better chance to defend herself against him if he tries anything again. It's the only way, she has to become a part of this world if she wants to stay and not want Orton to get a hold of her." Shawn said folding his hands together and sighing deeply.

"But Shawn, who's going to train her, none of us have the time, were all busy pursuing championships and hitting Orton over the head with chairs now that he attacked Louisa." John exclaimed as Lou began to stir yet again on the couch.

"While I actually ran into someone who could probably help us with that…" Shawn explained and yelled to the door, "You can come in now, Alex."

Hunter and John turned to the door to view a young man in jeans and t-shirt along with a leather jacket thrown over his shoulder. He had a pair of white Nikes on and was looking over at Louisa, his brown eyes engulfed with worry at the young unconscious woman on the sofa.

"John, Hunter, I'd like you to meet the current FCW champion, Alex Riley." Shawn said as the two WWE superstars stood greet the current FCW champion. "We ran into each other while I was looking for Steph, and he said he wanted to help Louisa in any way possible, so he suggested taking her to FCW with him for the next few weeks."

Hunter and John nodded at the short haired man liking the idea so far. Alex though had walked over to the young brunette whose eyes were slowly fluttering open. He kneeled down beside her and watched her wake from her lifeless state. She was beautiful when she was waking up. Lou's eyes slowly started to come into focus and then the soreness hit her.

"Son of a bitch," she cursed under her breath causing Alex to chuckle at her. Lou's head instantly went up to look into the brown eyes of his as a cocky smirk crossed the young man's face. Lou smiled back at the beautiful Michael's daughter.

Shawn, Hunter, and John couldn't help but see the instant connection between the two. Shawn breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Alex was the right choice to train her and smiled as Alex helped Louisa stand and pulled her close to his chest.

"I told you, you'd see me again." He whispered in her ear.

"Yea, but what are you doing here last I remember you were a jobber trying to learn the ropes so McManoh would put you on the show." She whispered back to him as Alex nodded toward Shawn who was about to explain everything.

"Louisa, I'd like you to meet Alex Riley, the current FCW champion. After everything that happened tonight I think it would be a good thing if you went to FCW to be trained. That way you can be more prepared than just super kicking every scum bag that comes into your vicinity, I mean it's good and all but you can only do it so much before having more problems and struggling and…" Shawn dragged on as Hunter covered the man's mouth with his hand.

"I think she gets the point, Shawn." Hunter muttered. Lou nodded her head looking at Alex who was also smiling back at her.

"So Mr. Riley, when do we begin this training?" asked Lou with a smirk while she looked up into Alex's brown eyes as they danced with pleasure that she accepting this change so easily.

"While Miss Michaels, I'm catching a flight back to Florida tomorrow so if you would join me then we could start right away, but I was thinking that maybe we could go over it over dinner tonight, what do you think?" he questioned looking down at the petite brunette.

"I'd love to." Lou responded and turned to face the three other men, "Can we all have breakfast before I leave in the morning?"

All three nodded at her as Lou turned back to Alex, while Alex took her hand in his and lead her out the door and down the hallway pulling her close to him to make sure that no unwanted Legacy attacks were sprung on the beautiful, loving, and kind Louisa Michaels.

"Do you get the impression those two met before?" John questioned watching them walk down the hall.

"I was thinking the exact same thing." Hunter responded and turning to look at Shawn who had a worried expression on his face. "Shawn, are you okay?"

But Shawn was nowhere near okay. He was struggling internally with the decision he had just made concerning his one and only daughter. Louisa was about to make some of the same mistakes he did if she wasn't careful, which worried him. But right then and there he silently vowed that she wouldn't.

"Lou's not making the same mistakes I did, not if I have anything to do with it." Shawn said with a sigh as he watched his daughter and Alex continue to walk down the hall. Alex's arm draped over Lou's shoulders. And to Shawn this was an all too firmly scene, just like the first night he and Rebecca had met.

"She won't make my mistakes."

Wow, some powerful stuff this chapter. And I know, I know Lou was knocked out for most of it but I made up with it when she goes on about Randy being a psycho so yea… But we get to look forward to seeing Riley train Lou! Who's excited now? :)

Anyways I don't have any shouts since this is a double update and those were done last chapter. By the way I totally delivered after telling everyone I would double update, I'm proud of myself! Woot!

But get ready for a wait on the next chapter because college starts this week for me and I move in and all that other fun stuff so you guys will have to put on your being patient caps!

And I can't believe the WWE, Randy Orton versus Dolph Ziggler (I know I make Orton into a complete jerk in this story, but his talents are far more deserving than that blonde idiot, ugh) and 3 guys from Smackdown in the Raw main event, wow something tells me Smackdown needs a lot of help, if they have to add John Cena. But I am grateful for the Punk vs. Miz match which was okay until the end, when freaking huge, scary, Kevin Nash came out! Not that I want Punk to win or anything… I don't like the guy he's a little too rebellious for me. But those are just my thoughts… not like anyone cares…

So until next time, find some guys who'd willingly carry your stuff up four flights of stairs (I have a lot of stuff, don't judge me), listen to "Our Song" by The Spill Canvas (it's wonderful, the lyrics totally speak to me, thinking of a one-shot, but I don't know which superstar… any suggestions are welcome), and know that there are 116 days until Christmas (totally irrelevant but I needed a third thing to add)! ~always with much love ~L.

See you next time! Review?
