Vince's Office
Glenn holds his breath as the door slowly opens. His eyes go wide as he takes in the woman that's going to be his tag team partner. She stands about six feet tall, has a head of wavy flowing red hair, her crystal blue eyes pierce him to his core. There's nothing but muscle on her thin frame although she has curves in all the right places. The black leather pants and black tank top hugs her figure agreeably. Glenn's mouth goes dry as his heart starts to beat faster. She cracks a smile in Vince's direction but it doesn't seem to reach her eyes.
She steps into the room almost as if she is gliding on air and Glenn can't help but notice the way her hips sway seductively from side to side. This is a woman who gets what she wants or at least that's the air she portrays. Glenn adjusts slightly in his seat suddenly noticing a tightness in his jeans as his body responds to this woman.
"Ah…Vaness" Vince breaks the silence that has settled over the room.
Vaness pays little to no attention to the man sitting in front of Vince's desk. Although she can almost feel his eyes looking upon her, sizing her up, slowly taking her in. She has to hold back the urge to return the man's gaze but she knows what she would see there. Every man was the same, when they looked at her all they saw was her body, her large breasts and perfect curves. She hated them all for that. Only ever looking on the outside never to what she holds within. Vince stands and extends his hand out to her. She takes it and they share a firm hand shake.
"Vaness I'd like you to meet Glenn Jacobs." Vince says motioning to the man in front of the desk. The man stands and his shear height grabs Vaness's attention. She's not used to having to look up at people. She has to admit to herself he is a good looking man. All muscle, longish brown hair tied back at the nape of his neck. His black t-shirt and jeans hug is body but also give him a laid back feel. He extends his hand to her and she takes it. As their fingers touch a zap of electric current shoot up her arm and all the way to her core she shivers in response. They share a slight hand shake and then both pull their hands away quickly.
"Mr. Jacobs" Vaness finally speaks her smooth voice fills the room her accent just barely peeking thru.
"Glenn this is Vaness DeLaRouge your new tag team partner." Vince states as Vaness's head whips in his direction.
"My what?" Vaness almost shrieks.
"Your tag team partner" Glenn cuts in his deep voice resonating threw her bones.
"Vince you never said anything about being on a team. I'm kind of a lone wolf here. I don't do the teams well." Vaness smiles over at Glenn but there is a truly worried look in her eye.
"Ms. DeLaRouge I am also mostly a lone wolf but having a person to have your back can be very important in this business. Vince has paired us together and I don't see a reason why Kane and The Reaper won't be able to work together. We are going to be a tag team not a couple" Glenn chuckles softly as he finishes speaking. The worried look almost disappears from her eyes.
"I guess it wouldn't be all that bad to have some back up. Just do me one favor Mr. Jacobs ...keep your hands to yourself" She smiles sharply in his direction.
"I have no problem with that. As long as you understand that sometimes in the ring or when doing things for the show we may have to touch. I won't do it just because I want to or anything" Glenn smiles at her again. He can't remember a time that he was smiling so much. Vaness nods her head at him in agreement.
"Good now that you two have it all settled this is how things are going to go this evening. Vaness is going to make her debut VS Randy Orton just like we originally planned. The match will be just like you've been practicing with the trainers over the last few days. But the writers have decided that the members of Evolution are going to come out and disturb the match.
It's been decided that as your about to win the match with Death's Grip, that submission move you use, HHH is going to get into the ring with a steal chair you're going to take one maybe two hits with that chair and then all four of them are going to pounce on you. Don't worry Vaness we plan to go over this part with you." Vince pauses
"I can take a chair shot you know" Vaness cuts in while shrugging her shoulders.
"Fine then I guess you can wing it so we don't have to show you. But as I was saying, Evolution is going to think that they have just destroyed The Reaper as they leave you lying on your back in the middle of the ring. That's when you're going to sit up just like Kane dose. You'll make a motion with your hand like come and get me and that's when the lights go dark. This is where Kane comes in He will head down the ramp as you head up the Ramp with Evolution stuck in the middle. They will scurry way as quickly as possible not expecting to see the Big Red Machine. Kane will then come face to face with you and take a knee in front of you. You'll do the whole hideous laughter bit and the arena will plunge into darkness. But remember we have kept the identity of The Reaper very secret and it may throw a kink in the plan when Orton realizes he's facing a woman. Don't let that man deviate to much if it seems like he is going easy on you take it to him."
Glenn and Vaness both look at each other and nod in unison. The plan doesn't sound too complicated or anything it should be fine. Glenn is worried how Randy is going to take facing a woman. Everyone in the locker room knows that he is a huge womanizer.
"Also just so you know we have set up a locker room just for The Reaper but I don't want you using it. Right now I have one of the security guys in there with a large black hooded cape on. For now you'll have to share Glenn's it's important to me that The Reapers identity says a mystery until after the match. So Glenn please take her to your locker room and keep everyone but wardrobe out they need transform her into the reaper." Vince smiles at them and stands about to send them on their way.
"One problem there Vince, Marks here for a visit you know how it's killing him to take time off and you also know I won't be able to keep him away. In fact I bet he's already here waiting for me" Glenn stands and rolls his shoulders stretching slightly after sitting for so long.
"Marks fine we both know he can keep a secret…..Oh and one last thing Vaness will you please put this on and pull the hood up until you get to the locker room" Vince asks while tossing a black hooded sweatshirt at Vaness. She slips it on and pulls the hood up while fallowing Glenn out of the office.
Glenn's Dressing Room a Few Hours Later
Hiding in the bathroom as Vaness is being fond over by the wardrobe, hair, and make up people. Glenn silently chuckles to himself as he gets ready. He had found out a few interesting things about the young woman hogging his dressing room. She was born in Paris France, the youngest of seven, her mother was a French diplomat and her father was a part of the US Military. She is only 24 years old and had lived in France until she was 12 when her father moved them to the US. She reviled the fact that she really didn't fit in with her family and as soon as she turned 18 she left home. With her stature and lots of fights between her and her brothers she made a living most of the time by fighting in whatever form she could, usually in illegal street fights and underground fighting rings. She warned him about her quick temper and almost seemed to be opening up to him until the wardrobe people came. She shut back down after that and Glenn was ushered out of the room.
Glenn quickly changes into his wrestling gear waiting until the last minute before he slides his mask into place. The sounds from the other room have gone quiet and he slowly peaks his head out the door.
"Is it OK for me to come out?" Glenn asks with his eyes close his head hanging into the room. Vaness holds back a chuckle.
"Only it you promise not to laugh" her voice is tight. Glenn opens his eyes as he steps into the room. Her back is to him as she stares at herself in the full length mirror. All he can see is the back of a black hooded jacket that's covering her from head to toe. "They gave me a mask" she stops the laugh that escapes her throat.
"Well Ms. DeLaRouge will you turn around so I can see you?" Glenn asks softly not wanting to upset her. She turns around to look at him taking the hood of her jacket down as she dose.
They have her in a half mask similar to his own except that hers looks like a skull on the outside, her hair is done up is a half up do hiding the straps of the mask. He notices that they have paled out her complexion a bit to give her more of a ghostly look. The front of the jacket makes it seem as if her skeletal structure is showing, it's quiet impressive that the wardrobe department came up with it. Glenn motions for her to take the jacket off and she does so in one swift move tossing it over a chair. Under the Jacket she is wearing back wrestling tights and boots and a skin tight black mid drift shirt with "The Reaper" in large bold blood red letters and a skeletal structure behind the writing in a bone color. Looking her over Glenn can really see that they are doing their best to give her a Grimm Reaper feel. The only question now is how her wrestling will impact the role.
The handle of the door rattles a bit as if someone is trying to get in and Glenn is thankful that he thought to lock it. After a few moments there's a sharp knocking at the door and slight cursing can be heard threw it. The noises pull both of them out of their thoughts as Vanessa dashes for her coat as Glenn walks to the door.
"Who is it?" Glenn calls threw the door using his deep Kane voice.
"What do you mean Who is it? Who do the hell do you think it is." Glenn softly chuckles to himself as he recognizes the voice of Mark on the other side of the door.
"Hold on Dead Man I'll be right out" Glenn calls back threw the door he walks back over to Vaness and leans in close to whisper to her.
"I'll be right back don't go anywhere while I'm gone." Vaness rolls her eye at him but nods in response. Glenn heads back over to the door and slips out into the hall. Once he's out of the room Vaness sighs with relief happy to finally be alone.
