Chapter Two - Poison Candy
Downtown Los Angeles, CA at 11pm:
After RAW the Superstars decided to go out for a drink to say goodbye to Trish and Randy who were going on their honeymoon tomorrow morning. After coming back from the beautiful tropical Fiji several hours ago the newlyweds weren't desperate to go away anywhere exotic as nothing could replace the memories they had of Suva so they decided to go on a week long road trip across America instead. When Cryme Tyme said they might as-well stay on the road Randy replied there were certain things they couldn't do with all the other Superstars watching.
"No we'll watch," JTG said and Shad slapped him around the back of the head.
"I apologize for my partner's lewd imagination," Shad said.
"That was nothing, Hunter gave me a camcorder and told me to record everything," Randy said and Trish laughed.
"That's the Cerebral Assman," she said.
"Isn't it 'assassin'?" Mickie James asked.
"Not if you've known him for as long as I have," Trish replied.
"Hey where's Punk?" John Cena said looking around for the raven haired Superstar.
"Where do you think he's upstairs, you know he never goes out with us," Mickie James said.
"But this is a special occasion we're saying goodbye to Trish and Randy," John Cena said.
"You're right, I'll go get him I can be very persuasive," Batista said and he ran back to the hotel to get CM Punk to change his mind.
"Dave?" Trish called to him and Batista turned around to face the newlywed Women's Champion.
"What?" Dave said.
"Come find us when you've got him," Trish said and Dave frowned thinking what an odd thing to say.
"I will," he said and ran into the hotel while Randy looked at Trish questioningly.
"What was that all about?" Randy asked her.
"That all depends on whether or not he listens to me," Trish said and Randy rubbed the back of his neck and wondered what she meant by that.
Thirty minutes later Batista was still trying to convince Punk to come out with him and the other Superstars to wish Trish and Randy a happy honeymoon.
"Come on Punk be a come-with guy," Batista whined and CM Punk found it quite amusing that the Animal was a lot softer than he looked.
"I know you Batista you're a man who likes his drink, you'll start off all light-hearted and then you'll force me to have some kind of drinking contest with you," CM Punk said lying back on his bed in his hotel room.
"I'm not Hunter okay I respect the whole Straight Edge thing, if you don't want to drink I won't make you and I can keep the boys off your back," Batista said and Punk smiled at that idea.
"Big Dave my own personal muscle," he said rubbing his chin, "Okay I'm in,"
"Cool now get dressed," Batista said and Punk frowned at him.
"I am dressed," he said standing in a black Ramones t shirt and combat pants.
"You're going like that?" Batista asked straightening out the collar of his Ralph Lauren shirt.
"Like it or leave it big man," CM Punk said and Batista shrugged.
"Hey it makes no difference to me but you're gonna have a hard time picking up girls in that ensemble," Batista said as they left Punk's hotel room.
"First of all it's not an ensemble its black pants and a t shirt, nothing fancy nothing that says I spend more money on my clothes than the entire population of Sudan does on food. Second of all I have a girlfriend," Punk said.
"Oh yeah Velvet Sky," Batista said remembering the boisterous blond from Trish and Randy's wedding.
"And she likes me just the way I am, she wouldn't change me for the world," CM Punk said and Batista raised a cynical eyebrow.
"I bet she would if you spent as much money on her as you did your black t shirt and pants," Batista said and Punk stopped walking and crossed his arms across his chest.
"Is this going to be what I've got to look forward to if I come out with you tonight because I'd rather stay in and watch Special Victims Unit," Punk said and Batista smiled and pulled Punk into a playful headlock.
"You gotta lighten up Punk but I guess a lifetime of sobriety would make that quite difficult," Batista said pulling the bemused Superstar out for a very rare night on the town.
Avenue 62, 12am:
The RAW Superstars spoke loudly while the music thundered in the club they had been forced to come to because a fight broke out between some guys and John Cena at the other place. The Superstars didn't care but Trish wanted to leave, she had told Batista to come and find them and now she knew he wasn't going to.
"Trish relax I'll call Dave on my cell," Randy said.
"You'll have to go outside to get reception," Trish said, "and when you do those idiots that started the fight with John will start on you and we'll get thrown out of here too - actually that's not a bad idea let's go!" Trish said getting out of her seat but Mickie James sat her back down.
"No way Trish we're not getting thrown out of another club we're here to say goodbye to you and we can't do that if we have to go from one place to another," Mickie James said and Cryme Tyme, Rey Mysterio and Beth Phoenix agreed.
"Guys listen to me Batista and Punk have to be here with us tonight," Trish said.
"Why?" Rey Mysterio asked.
"I don't know all I know is that if they go to that club by themselves they're going to be in trouble," Trish said.
"I know, why don't Shad and me go back to the club and bring them back here?" JTG suggested.
"That's a great idea," Randy said.
"Okay we'll be right back," Shad said and they headed out for the club they just came from while Trish took a deep breath.
Mickie James rubbed her shoulder and gave her a big smile, "Don't worry Trish whatever it is I'm sure it will be fine," she said but Trish only gave a half smile and Randy noticed wondering what it was that got his wife so concerned just one day before their honeymoon started.
Venom, 12:30am:
Batista and CM Punk turned up at the club and looked around for other WWE Superstars but all they saw were fans, haters or regular party goers who were just hanging out way too late on a Monday night.
"Where is everyone?" Batista wondered looking around.
"Are you sure we're at the right place?" Punk asked Batista.
"Yeah this is it, Venom on 23rd and Broadway," Batista said.
"Whose idea was it to come here?" Punk said looking around thinking neither Trish nor Randy would want to come here, it was dark, inert and didn't exactly scream 'just married'.
"I'll call Randy on my cell," Batista said heading outside. He called Randy but he couldn't get through, then he looked up and saw Cryme Tyme bopping towards him, "Hey guys why aren't you inside?" Batista asked him.
"Some dudes picked a fight with Cena and we all got kicked out," JTG replied.
"Again? Man I wish I woulda been there then I would love to see what those punks would have done," Batista said punching his own hand.
"Speaking of Punk did you convince the non-drinking, deep thinking ladies man to come out with us?" Shad asked and Batista nodded.
"I sure did he's right inside," Batista said pointing into the club and Cryme Tyme peered in.
"Looks like Punk's getting picked up by a couple of mamacitas," JTG said and Batista looked over and saw that he was right; a couple of dark haired ladies who looked like twins were chatting up Punk and the man was obviously trying to get away from them as politely as he could.
"That guys got more game than I gave him credit for," Batista said impressed with what he was seeing.
"It's that whole Straight Edge thing, the chicks love it," Shad said.
"They sure do," Batista replied as it was obvious that the girls weren't backing off Punk anytime soon, "I better go rescue him so we can get going," he said heading back into the club. Normally Batista wouldn't have made such a fuss but tonight was special and he didn't want to let Trish and Randy down.
He made his way over to Punk and the ladies and interjected himself into the conversation. Punk gave a sigh of relief, he'd never been more happy to see Batista in his life.
"My bodyguard is here," he said humorously and the two girls frowned at each other.
"Your bodyguard?" one of them asked flicking her long black hair over her shoulder.
"Yeah Big Dave here takes care of me and gets me out of awkward and uncomfortable situations," CM Punk said and Batista shoved him on the shoulder.
"What he means by that is that as much as we would love to stay and get to know you ladies more, like the meaning behind all those tattoos," Batista said noticing the various tattoos up and down both women's arms, "We really have to get going our friends are at another club and they're expecting us,"
"You're going to another club?" the other woman asked.
"Yeah, do you wanna come with us?" Batista asked and Punk elbowed him in the ribs.
"We're going to be late, come on!" he said pulling Batista towards the exit but one of the women pulled Punk back and it wasn't a gentle pull either, in fact it was quite aggressive.
"What's your hurry?" the woman asked him still holding onto his arm.
"Excuse me can I have my arm back?" Punk said annoyed by the woman's aggressive behavior.
"What he means by that is he has a girlfriend," Batista said gently removing the girl's hand from CM Punk's arm.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" the other woman asked Batista rubbing her finger up Batista's chests which was just slightly exposed at the nape of his shirt.
"No," Batista replied and he got a strange vibe from the woman as she touched him. Eventually he removed the woman's hand from his chest and suddenly he wanted to leave as much as Punk did.
"Do you want a girlfriend?" the woman asked coming closer to Batista, something about her eyes really disturbed the big man.
"Let's get out of here," Punk said to Batista pulling the Heavyweight towards the exit where Cryme Tyme were waiting for them.
"See you around," Batista said and the woman suddenly hugged him rubbing her hands up and down his back while the other woman stroked CM Punk up and down his arm.
"If you don't want a girlfriend how about just a good time?" the women whispered in both men's ears at the same-time.
Punk pushed the woman back forcefully, Batista did the same but with not quite as much force his size made that unnecessary.
The women mumbled something as the men left but they didn't understand what they said.
"Well look at you two mack daddies, did you get their numbers?" JTG asked excitedly.
"Oh no," Batista said, "I'd rather have a prison number,"
"Those girls were creepy," CM Punk said, "this is your idea of a good night out?"
"Relax things will pick up when we get to Avenue 62," Shad said.
"Avenue 62? I know that club the girls there are normal," Batista said trying to shake the weird feeling that had suddenly come over him.
"Yes normalcy, that's what I need," Punk said feeling uncomfortable in his own skin.
Shad and JTG frowned, "What's up with you two?" Shad asked.
"Nothing," the wrestlers repeated at the same-time and Cryme Tyme shrugged.
"I guess those girls weren't as cool as they looked," JTG said and Shad nodded, the Truth was they were worse, much, much worse.
