It had been two days since Randy's and Alix's 'match.' It hadn't taken long for Alix to wake up, in a decent amount of pain. She woke up swearing and shouting and trying to hurt Randy in any way she could.
"Hold it! Hold it!" Randy had shouted, backing away from her and the bed as Hunter and Evan tried to keep her down. "I'm only in slightly less pain than you are, okay? You played a good Jeff Hardy."
That sentence had brought a smile to Alix's face, and she settled, slumping back against the pillows and relaxing as much as she could with the pain still coursing through her; only slightly decreasing.
Later that night, it was time for the guys' house show. They asked if Alix was okay enough to go several times and each time she replied with the same answer.
"Guys, for gods' sake. I'm fine. Even if I wasn't, I'd still be going to the show."
Nevertheless, when Hunter walked into the hotel room, when Evan and Alix were playing cards, he said it was time to go to the arena and when she got up, Alix still had a limp to her; and every few seconds she brought her hand to her head.
"And you're sure you're okay...?" Hunter asked again warily, as he climbed into the driver's seat of the SUV that him and whoever decided to hang out with him during a trip always managed to be able to rent.
"Hunter, for gods' sake. I'm fine. Even if I wasn't, I'd still be going to the show." Alix smirked settling into a seat in the back row with Evan next to her. Edge was riding shotgun and Morrison and Orton were sitting in between Alix's row, and the front seats.
Hunter had made an overdramatic sigh, but began driving anyway. Almost immediately, Alix had her head on Evan's shoulder; the only reason no one said anything being Evan's responding death glare to anyone who opened their mouth.
The house show went off without a hitch. The majority of it was spent with another five-on-five elimination match between John Cena, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Edge, and Daniel Bryan of Team WWE versus the remaining members of the Nexus. Alix had the time of her life, and her throat was sore by the end of the match, which, of course, Team WWE won.
Much to Alix's delight and the confusion of the rest of the capacity crowd, at the end of the match, Randy stood on the top turnbuckle ad shouted, "In two days time my colleagues Triple H, Evan Bourne, Edge, and John Morrison will be going to Vincent McMahon about the signing of a brand new Superstar who goes by the name 'X-Stinger.' What do you guys think?"
After a quick second, the crowd roared with applause.
"And as an added bonus for all you hypocrites - " Edge started but was cut off by boos. "Ahem. The X-Stinger has already defeated the RKO!" The crowd quickly got even louder at the promise showing in this new Superstar and Alix blushed as she looked to the ground.
The rest of the house show went without any other 'X-Stinger' incidents. The only other match that Alix was relatively interested in was Hunter's versus Sheamus match; a feud that was reigned since Hunter had returned to Monday Night Raw, calling out Sheamus on all of the times over the few long months that he was gone on the number of times that he had humiliated and talked-down Hunter.
Sheamus won, by disqualification. By hitting Hunter with a steel chair.
Alix couldn't stop herself, she quickly cried out "Hunter!" as soon as the metal clanged against Hunter's back, but shut her mouth and sat down as soon as the word left her lips. The rest of the crowd was still jeering and booing as Sheamus left the ring with a smirk on his face, and the chair still in his hands.
Hunter eventually got up, to the applause of the crowd; but just barely, and shaking on his legs as he did walk. It was all Alix could do to not jump over the barricades and at the very least help Hunter backstage.
Soon afterwards, the five went home, again in the SUV, but Hunter now in the back seat with Alix; who was strangely silent for the entire ride.
Alix slept once again in Hunter's room, which was only okayed after a call from Big Show, who lectured Hunter on everything that was and was not allowed.
Alix had opened her eyes slightly in the dark and whispered very softly, "good night Uncle Hunter..."
Hunter didn't say a word.
The next morning, Alix was awoken by Randy, who was softly shaking her.
"Alix," he whispered. "It's seven in the morning, we gotta go for our plane."
Alix just groaned.
Randy ended up having to carry her to the SUV, in which John Morrison and Edge took turns playing 'try to wake up Alix.' The two Superstars giggled as Alix yelled after the two hundred and seventy second poke and sat up with her arms crossed and a 'I'm not amused' look on her face.
The six boarded the plane, Alix next to Hunter, Rated RKO seated next to each other, and Evan and Morrison each in the rows in front of and behind Rated RKO. Quickly, the majority of the rest of the plane was filled with the rest of the Raw superstars who all smiled and nodded at Alix as they passed. She couldn't help but blush and sink down into her seat, hoping that no one noticed her from then on.
The six got to their next destination, a rented SUV already waiting for them.
"Only the best for the Game, eh, Hunter?" Edge laughed, nudging Hunter lightly. Triple H glared at him and silently climbed into the driver's seat, which is when Alix noticed that he still had a noticeable limp. She didn't say anything; she just sat quietly in the back, with Evan once again by her side, who was playing with her long black hair.
It didn't take too long for the six, plus the rest of the Raw Superstars to get to their new hotel. They were greeted by the Smackdown Superstars as they came in, but Alix walked warily, not wanting to have a run-in with Mysterio. Instead she looked for Big Show, who, when she found him, pulled her into a bear hug and said that she was staying with Smackdown for the next week. No exceptions.
Alix just smiled and motioned to Hunter and the rest of her Raw friends. Show shook his head. "Fine." he said, with a slight smile. "At least come to our show and come out to the ring with me."
Alix squealed and nodded, and raced to tell Hunter what Show had said. He agreed that it was fine, as long as the SES didn't do anything to her. Show just laughed full-heartedly.
No one saw Mysterio for then or the rest of the night.
As Alix was climbing into bed that night, now rooming with Orton, much to Hunter's distaste, she wondered a little about this, but didn't think about it all too much.
And then the two day period hit.
"Randy!" Alix yelled, jumping on the Viper's bed. "Get up! Get up! Get up! I'mma be a Superstar today, you're gonna talk to Vince with the rest of the guys, and I'm the X-Stinger!"
Randy slowly got up, tackling Alix's feet, who laughed as she fell to the bed. Orton grinned and nodded.
"Breathe, Stinger." Randy teased. "Lemme get dressed, then I'll get the guys. Vince'll be in the conference room in this hotel, but you have to promise me something."
"Yeah?" Alix asked, a little confused.
"Don't come in until we say so, okay? Please?" Orton's brown eyes got wide, and he looked like a dog begging for a piece of table scraps for the few seconds.
"Fine..." Alix sighed. "Just don't screw things up for me, okay?"
Randy smiled wide, giving Alix a short hug. "I promise lil' sis. Now can I take a shower and get dressed without you freaking out on me?"
Alix grinned wide and nodded, sitting cross-legged on Randy's bed patiently as he pulled out a suit from one of the dresser drawers and took it into the bathroom. She sat there, humming all of the WWE theme songs and imagining what it'd be like to be a Superstar.
If Vince accepts me. She silently reminded herself, wondering what was going to happen if Vince didn't. There was always the chance; she was a girl. And that definitely wasn't the only thing going against her.
Randy suddenly walked out of the bathroom in his suit, with the towel slung over his arm. Alix's eyes widened and she wolf-whistled.
"Daayum." She laughed. "You, my friend, are a very attractive man."
Randy laughed as well. "I've been told. Now come on, let's go get the others."
AN: Moody Hunter! Haha, sorry, but I have to show all sides of Hunter. And I loved the idea of Edge and Randy doing that thing at the house show...so I put it in. XP Oh! And I relized I've been getting a buttload amount of hits but not nearly as many reviews! Please, please, please, please review! I'm begging you! REVIEW!
