Author's Note: This is it, the sequel to Weight of the World! This wouldn't be happening without x_Hardys_and_Horcruxes_x, although I had the idea for this sequel all on my own, it was her who asked me to write WotW. I own pretty much nothing aside from Katya lol. Hope you enjoy!
Sweet Sacrifice
Chapter Five
Chris Jericho sat in the hotel restaurant, waiting for Adam Copeland to join him. He'd just gotten off the phone with Jay though… having been told that Katya was being traded to RAW. He slid his phone away just as Adam walked up, looking a little worse for wear.
"Still stressing?" He asked, and Adam nodded.
"I'm, not really sure what to do anymore and Jay is sick of giving me advice…"
"Well maybe it is time to figure this out on your own," Chris said with a shrug. Adam sighed and nodded, a bubbly waitress then appearing to take their orders.
"The big American breakfast, thanks." Adam said and Chris seemed a little startled, perhaps by his decision to splurge. Then he ordered the same. It wasn't until the end of their breakfast that Chris dropped the bomb on Adam.
"You heard about the trade, man?"
"What trade?"
"Vinnie Mac hasn't told you? Katya and Mizanin are trading places."
"What?" The whole restaurant went silent with Adam's rather loud outburst and for a moment he shifted uncomfortably. Then he lowered his voice and repeated, "What?"
"I don't know all the details yet, just that Mizanin and the US title are coming to Smackdown and Katya and the IC belt are going to RAW."
"I don't know." Chris shrugged, "Soon I guess, I think Vince spoke of getting Mike out for Smackdown this week, before the Pay Per View."
Adam pulled out his wallet and dropped a few notes on the table to cover his half of the food. "Gotta run."
He really did high tail it out of the restaurant, all the way to Jay's room, where he assumed that Katya would still be staying. He pounded on the door until it opened, revealing a half asleep (and only half dressed) Jay. The man had to work hard to hide his annoyance at being woken up.
"Is she really being traded?" Adam demanded to know, not bothering with niceties."
"Yes."
"I need to see her! She can't just do this… why are you shaking your head? Dammit Jay!"
"You're too late Adam. She's already left. It's already organised," He explained, ruffling his hair sleepily as Adam stared at him, open mouthed.
"Well… I'll just have to go to her. Get traded too." Adam said determinedly, turning on his heel and walking away with that same determination written on his face.
Adam knocked on Vince's door a little more politely than he had knocked on Jay's earlier, and when the door opened, his boss didn't look all that surprised to see him.
"Adam," He greeted, politely gesturing for him to come in.
The man walked in, greeting his boss in the same fashion, "Vince." He then took a seat where indicated and got straight to business. "I need you to trade me to RAW."
"Adam…"
"I know I've stuffed up, made things hard on Katya… but I just need a chance to fix this. I know I can, all you have to do is send me to RAW after her."
"Adam, I can't, you're starting a program with Punk and Mizanin. I can't just send you over to RAW."
"Vince, you're the boss, you can do anything you want."
"You're right, and I don't want to mess with this storyline right now. Look Adam, the only way I can send you to RAW is if you drop the title belt to RAW. It's the only way I can make it fly."
"That's the only way?"
"Yes Adam. You either stay here with the belt. Katya will be back, I think, unless we did decide to put the belt on Mizanin. Or you go to RAW after dropping the belt to Punk, and he'll work with Mizanin alone."
Adam took a deep breath and rubbed the back of his head. Then Vince spoke again, "Look, don't choose now. Give yourself a couple of days and then give me an answer. I need it by Tuesday night because I'll have to rework the Pay Per View depending on your answer. And don't tell anyone about this until you have given me an answer."
It was a lot to think about, especially since he couldn't talk it over with anyone. Adam nodded, "Alright. You'll have your answer by Tuesday, 5pm." He said, Vince nodded and with that, Adam left, going to mull over the pros and cons of the decision he now had to make.
Author's note: It's a little short but the next chapter will be longer, I promise! Anyway, what do you think Adam will do?
