Chapter 25
Sunday night arrived, which was the Extreme Rules pay-per-view and both women were incredibly nervous for their men. Everything went off without a hitch though. Joe and Colby finally became the new WWE tag team champions and Jon won the United States title. It sucked that Bianca and Kavari couldn't congratulate their men in front of the world, but that time would soon come. Before everyone knew it, Monday had arrived and all involved were on complete edge. Jon remained out on the balcony for most of the morning smoking away while Bianca tried keeping her mind occupied by watching television or reading. She was nervous as hell, even though they'd gone over the plan on how she would reveal to Bryan that, not only had she taken a contract to work for the WWE with the Shield, but that she romantically involved with Jon. This was it. The charade would come to a screeching halt tonight and it would start with Vince McMahon being released by his own wife.
Colby could tell Kavari wasn't her normal, chipper, happy self and he understood why. She was nervous about tonight. Granted, her father knew what was going down. They had invited Glen to the suite the previous night so Kavari could spend some time with him. Colby felt guilty because Kavari hadn't gotten to see her father because of the whole abduction angle. He apologized to Glen profusely for what happened and assured him that he'd never hurt Kavari as long as they were together. Glen accepted his apology and nothing more was said about it, thankfully. Colby glanced outside as he watched Jon pace back and forth, blasting music in his ears from his headphones while puffing on another cigarette. He was going to maim Bryan Danielson tonight. It was going to be a bloody mess – the PG rating was going out the window courtesy of Linda McMahon, Stephanie and Paul Levesque. They assured the Shield they could do whatever they wanted to Bryan Danielson, just as long as they didn't kill the man. That didn't mean the asshole wouldn't be drinking and feeding from a tube for the rest of his life.
Jon could feel the adrenaline rushing through his body while the nicotine from his smoke raced through his lungs. He stayed on the balcony for most of the day just trying to stay right where he wanted to be, which was the 'kick Bryan Danielson's ass' zone. Truthfully, Jon had never been prouder of his brothers then the night before when he watched them claim the Tag Team titles. They were just as proud of him getting the United States title too, all 3 of them celebrating in the ring after each match. He'd been especially happy when they got back to the dressing room with the girls and Bianca pulled him into the bathroom away from everyone, planting a kiss on her mouth that curled his toes. She still very much shy about their public display of affection and he was fine with that. Deciding he needed a piss break, Jon flicked his cigarette over the balcony and headed back inside. Before he moved to the bathroom, he stopped and kissed the top of Bianca's head, his lips moving to her ear.
"After tonight, it's just you and me, sweetheart." He promised, making her smile and went to take care of his business in the bathroom, joining his woman a few minutes later in the sitting room.
Setting her book down on the table, Bianca pulled her legs from Jon's lap and shifted to straddle him, staring deep into his gorgeous eyes. They were more blue because of how agitated and fired up he was. Bianca brushed the pad of her thumb across his bottom lip and began raining soft kisses all over his face. Starting with his forehead, Bianca worked her way down each side, including his eyes, cheeks and nose before finally capturing his lips in a slow sensual kiss. Only when they both needed air to breathe did Bianca break the kiss and rested her forehead against his.
"Nothing changes between us after tonight, no matter what you do to my brother. I just wanted to reassure you of that." She rubbed her nose against his and snuggled down to rest her head on his shoulder, placing her hand on his broad shoulder. "I'm with you 100% on this, Jon."
"Fully understood, beautiful." Jon agreed, kissing her again a little softer than he had a few minutes ago. "Whatever we do tonight, you remember to call the shots. If you want us to beat him within an inch of his fucking life, we'll do it. Because that's what he deserves and that's what you want. At any point if you start to feel guilty or he looks like he's feeling remorseful and you think he's had enough, you have to tell us to stop." His strong hands rested on her hips, pulling her closer if it was possible and buried his face in the side of her neck, her scent intoxicating. "I'm leaving that arena tonight with you. Leaving without you is not an option."
"I know, I won't leave with anyone except you."
Her fingers ran through his hair as Bianca tried calming him down, closing her eyes to relish the feeling of him this close to her. Honestly, Bianca didn't know if she would tell Jon to stop beating down Bryan. Granted, he was her brother and one of the only family members she had left, but he betrayed her. He forced these men to become monsters and abduct two defenseless women from the safety of their homes. No matter what though, Bianca still loved Bryan and hated that she couldn't squash that love for him.
"And I'll keep that in mind as far as my brother goes." Glancing at the clock, Bianca sighed regretfully and pulled back, giving Jon one last toe-curling kiss before pulling back, hopping to her feet. "Come on, we have to go get ready for the show."
Pacing again, Jon remained in the dressing room and watched the girls disappear into the bathroom to get ready. The guys were already in their Shield gear with Colby doing handstand pushups in one corner and Joe bouncing on the heels of his feet in the other. He wanted a smoke in the worst way, but wanted to keep the edge for his segment with Bryan Danielson, so he refrained. Bianca was nervous and he really hoped having Kavari at ringside with them would help comfort her a bit.
The women weren't wearing their typical attire, having talked to Tiffany and Janet about some ideas. Janet did not disappoint as usual. Staring in the full length mirror, Bianca had on a tight black dress made of the same material as their t-shirts with a black strapless bra beneath. It had SHIELD in silver letters across her chest. It was short sleeved, but cut in a fashion that one shoulder remained bare while the other one was covered. The dress went 2 inches above the knee and had ties on the sleeves for style. Tiffany had arrived and teased her light brown hair in loose banana curls, pinning some of them up and leaving the rest down around her shoulders. When Tiffany asked if she wanted 'abusive' makeup, Bianca shook her head and had smoky eyes that really brought out the sky blue along with clear gloss and foundation to hide any blemishes. Her feet were adorned with 2 inch black knee high boots that zipped up the sides and went with the dress perfectly. Taking a deep breath, Bianca turned and walked out of the bathroom to reveal her look for the night, seeing Kavari had remained somewhat traditional with the abduction outfits. When the bathroom door opened and Bianca stepped out, Jon went slack jawed at the sight of her, his mouth falling completely open. His stomach felt like it fell out of his backside. He slowly walked over and circled her slowly, his eyes devouring her visually like a predator stalking its prey.
"Fuck Bianca, you look beautiful." He rasped out in a low voice, finally stopping in front of her and knew she had issues with them showing affection towards each other, but he couldn't stop himself. "Forgive me, just this once please…" A quizzical expression crossed her face as Jon leaned down, capturing her mouth with his and tried not to mess up her makeup. "Come on beautiful, let's go kick the shit out of your asshole brother and get the fuck out of here."
After relinquishing Vince of his duties, Linda McMahon had the entire Raw crowd, as well as fans at home, BUZZING. So when she came out for a second time that night, everyone was wondering what the hell was going on. Linda McMahon on Raw was unheard of, especially since she'd tried running for Senate for the past couple years. Smiling charmingly, Linda took the microphone and waited for her music to stop, hearing the buzz of the crowd once more. It honestly felt great being inside a WWE ring again.
"Good evening, WWE Universe. The time has come for me to take care of my second order of business this evening and that involves the former tag team champions. There is an issue that needs to be solved and it happens tonight. So, Daniel Bryan and Kane, please make your way to the ring."
Bryan looked at Glen, wondering what this was about and watched as his partner shrugged his shoulders. He didn't miss what happened to Vince earlier that night, but Linda McMahon hadn't really said the reasoning behind it. Only that he was 'past his prime' and it was time for their children to take over the business. Bryan also had no idea his tag partner knew exactly what was about to transpire. It was really happening. Bryan was about to be humiliated the same way he did to his own sister and Kavari. Glen wouldn't have to stay away from his daughter anymore and he hoped the Shield allowed him to get a few cracks in on his partner. It took everything inside of Glen not to pound the pipsqueak into the ground the moment he found out the abduction angle had been all Bryan's idea. Tonight, it all ended. Linda didn't flinch when the pyro's to Kane's entrance exploded from all the ring posts, standing in the middle of the ring looking classy as always. She waited until both men were inside the ring and their music cut, always polite even though she really wanted to strangle Bryan Danielson for what he did with her husband.
"Good evening gentlemen." She greeted warmly, though it didn't touch her blue eyes. "Now I know you two lost your tag team titles last night to the Shield, but it was fair and square. So I'm not out here to give you a rematch. That will be Stephanie and Hunter's decision. But what I AM out here for is to make sure the Shield follows through with their word to give back the women who were stolen from you. So without further ado, Shield please come out here with the ladies."
Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta.
SHIELD.
They had arrived.
Jon and Bianca were on one set of stairs while Kavari stood next to Joe and Colby on the other, each of them heading down the flights of stairs simultaneously. Colby's hand rested on the middle of Kavari's back, Joe walking behind them while Jon lead Bianca down the steps. Once they got to the barricade, Colby planted his hands on Kavari's hips and lifted her over it, Joe standing there waiting just in case she tried making a run for it. Even though he knew she wouldn't. Kavari stepped through the ring ropes and stood in the turnbuckle corner with Colby and Joe on each side, winking at her father to let him know she was still alright. Jon and Bianca joined them moments later and he pushed her toward the other turnbuckle across from the other, pointing a finger pretending to scold her, taking the microphone Joe held out to him.
"The Shield is here, Mrs. McMahon." He bowed mockingly with glittering electric blues. "What can we do for you, Lady Chairman?"
"It's time you hand these women back to their respective family members, Mr. Ambrose." Linda said softly but firmly, not showing an ounce of fear as both Bryan and Kane stood behind her. "Wouldn't you agree, Daniel and Kane?"
"YES, YES, YES!"
Glen nodded, not saying a single word and could tell something was bothering his daughter.
"You acquired what you wanted from them. There's no reason to keep their family members hostage any longer, gentlemen. If you truly are all about justice as you spout about constantly, then you will keep your word."
Colby swallowed hard, looking up at Joe and Jon, knowing what would happen next. "Fine."
He grabbed Kavari by the arm gently and thrust her into her father's arms, using enough force to make it look real, but not to hurt her. Glen caught his daughter and immediately enveloped her in his arms, kissing the top of her head while glaring back at Colby. Pretend or not, the boy and he would be having a conversation in the very near future. He realized it had to be believable, but it still looked like he just manhandled his baby girl.
That left Bianca and Jon's decision on whether or not to release her back to her brother. She watched as Jon looked back at her, folding her arms in front of her chest and lowered her eyes, still playing the part to perfection. She could hear Bryan screaming at Jon to release her and finally let a sly smirk cross her lips, locking electric blue on electric blue. Stepping forward, Bianca snatched the microphone away from Jon and stood in front of him, hearing the crowd buzzing all around them. "What makes you think for a second I would want to leave the Shield, brother dear?" She asked in the sweetest voice, laughing as his jaw completely dropped to the floor.
"W-What are you saying?! BIA!"
"I know what you did. And now you're going to pay for it." She backed away from him to stand behind Jon, standing in the corner where she had previously. "Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns – escort Mrs. McMahon out of the ring along with Kane and Kavari. Because I really don't want them doused in Bryan's blood."
Bryan felt sick to his stomach, not believing the words coming out of his sister's mouth and watched as the Shield OBEYED her! What the hell was going on?! "Bianca, please…" He said without a microphone, seeing Glen had left the ring with his daughter in tow. "WHAT THE HELL, KANE?"
Kane merely stood on the outside with his arm around Kavari's shoulders and began laughing maniacally. Bryan Danielson was officially screwed.
"Now then, destroy him."
