Alix bounced on her toes backstage in the Oklahoma City arena. She shook her hands loose and tried to feel as loose as possible. She had come up with what she was going to do, with help from Matt of course, and while she was anxious to get it over with, she was a little scared at what might happen if word got back to Vince before her act was over. Matt had promised not to say anything, but knowing the state of the locker rooms, she wouldn't be surprised if someone was able to read his mind and passed it along.
Out of nowhere Tony Chimel came up to her with a microphone and nodded at her, apparently a sign that the camera was about to switch on and she'd have a short interview. Alix rolled her eyes but nodded back.
"So, X-Stinger, you debuted last week on Smackdown and were received well by the fans. How come you don't have a match tonight, on the season premiere of Smackdown on SyFy?"
"Quite honestly, Tony, I don't know." Alix shook her head. "Mr. McMahon wasn't completely into signing me, but had pretty much no choice to after my entrance last week."
"Are you feeling better after that gruesome anziguri by Alberto Del Rio last week?"
Alix's eyes flashed as she grabbed the mic out of Tony's hands. "Enough of the talk about what happened to me. I follow the internet and , I know what people have been saying. Point is, I was a newbie, that was my first match and I made one rookie mistake. It's not going to happen again and Alberto Del Rio should know that."
Alix shoved the mic back into Chimel's hands as she stormed off, trying to calm down. If she had heard from Matt right, she had a little under an hour to wait and waiting that time mad probably wasn't a good idea.
She sunk back into a steel chair near Catering and closed her eyes, trying to get her anger under control. She heard footsteps coming near her, heavy footsteps, but didn't open her eyes for it.
"I hear you're the new Superstar." Drawled an English accent and Alix growled under her breath as she opened her eyes. Wade Barrett stood in front of her, and she at least didn't have to doubt why he was at a Smackdown show.
"I hear you're an ass." She said easily, her eyes slipping closed again, not caring what the leader of the Nexus said or thought about her.
"Tsk, tsk, Alix, don't you think you should be talking to your superior a little more kindly?"
"What is Santino Marella around?" she opened her eyes for a quick second, mock-looking around for the laughingstock wrestler. "No…I only see you…so who should I be talking to kindly?"
Wade did something Alix didn't expect him to do. He laughed.
"So, the reputation I've heard about is true then." He smirked. "You might want to work on that; it won't get you far in this company."
"You kidding me?" Alix almost laughed at him. "You seen Edge? That's who he is. Triple H too. And who Shawn Michaels was. Edge has held championships and was part of the legendary Rated-RKO, Shawn Michaels and Triple H were a part of the iconic and legendary and awesome D-Generation X. They got to work with the Undertaker, and have held many championships as singles wrestlers as well."
"Ah, you know your stuff." Wade's eyes widened just a little bit. "What do you know about me?"
"I know you suck, you're a big baby, you're a coward, and you don't deserve to be talking to me." Alix listed off easily. "So shoo. Stay true to your own reputation, and stop caring about mine. I'm too good for you."
Wade growled loudly and brought his hand around Alix's neck, lifting her up to his eye line.
"Listen to me, and listen to me well, twerp." He whispered harshly. "Heels in the WWE are usually heels for a reason, and I as well as the rest of the Nexus are not an exception to that rule. You're treading on shifty ground talking to me like that; I'm sure you've seen what we have done to people even like Vincent McMahon and Bret Hart."
Alix struggled against Wade Barrett's hand, but it was of no use. He held her there, essentially strangling her, and as he continued to ramble on about how she should shape up according to the needs of the WWE, he began to punch and kick her whenever it looked like she was fading out; mostly from lack of oxygen.
He threw her to his side on the floor and she landed with a thud, wishing that there was anyone near her that could help her. But there was no one.
Alix struggled to get up and as soon as she felt ground under her feet she raced towards the locker rooms, needing to get away from the English wrestler.
Without looking where she was going, Alix ran straight into the Undertaker, who looked shocked at her given state. As she crumpled on the floor again from running into the larger man, she burst into tears and hugged her knees to her chest, resting her forehead on them.
"Shh, Alix…" Mark whispered as he kneeled down next to her, placing a hand on her back. "Shh…what's wrong…?"
"It w-was Bar-Barrett." She sobbed, almost flinching away from Mark's touch. "H-he said that I n-needed to g-get in sh-shape to be a p-part of the W…WWE…he prac-practically strang-strangled me…and he talked l-like…he had some-something in st-store for me…"
Mark's eyes flashed and a protective and terrifying demeanor immediately went over him. He scooped Alix up in his arms and placed her on one of the couches in one of the lounges, and sat next to her to make sure that she stopped crying soon.
"Hon…" he squeezed her hand as soon as the sniffles had finally begun to pass. "You're been thrown into a wall by Randy, and anziguri-kicked by Del Rio…this man…this man didn't do the least of what those two did…why did this hit you so hard…?"
"M-My dad…" she sniffled as she looked down onto the couch. "Or the man I was forced to call 'Daddy' anyway… Barrett talked to me like he did…and he did a bunch of bad things to me…
I know I'm able to seem so tough in the ring, and outside of it, but in reality I'm truly not… I learned how to put up walls when I was with my dad, and soon those walls became reality. That was all I knew. Being with you guys, you, and Hunter, and Kofi, and JoMo, and Edgey, and Chrissie, and Evan, and…everybody…has started to make some holes in those walls, I guess… Barrett shot a bullet through one of those walls…"
The Undertaker's shell softened a little bit, as he wrapped her arms around the smaller girl. Alix hid her face into his shoulder blade, a few silent tears leaking out, but that was all.
"I'm sorry that all this has happened to you, Alix…" Mark whispered, and Alix whimpered for just a moment.
"Don't say sorry…you didn't do it…you're not my dad, and you're not Wade Barrett…you have absolutely nothing to be sorry for…"
The Undertaker felt his heart physically sink as she said those words, and, not two seconds later, a loud, almost high-pitches voice called, "MARK CALAWAY!"
He groaned and broke the embrace, standing up. "I have to go…" he said, regrettably. "Match with Punk…you need anything, you find me as soon as the match is over, okay?"
Alix nodded, wiping the last of the tears from her face with her palms. "Thanks, Mark…"
"No problem, Stinger…" he mumbled as he walked out, racing for the entrance ramp. He almost wished he had told Alix that the match was set up to be interrupted by the Nexus, so they could show that they could take down the Undertaker on any show. But, of course, he was set up to win the fight against them with the return of Paul Bearer.
Alix shook her head quickly and waiting until she heard the Undertaker's music hit. As soon as it did, she raced out to the hallway next to the entrance ramp door, trying to stick away from any members of the Nexus.
She almost wished she had told Mark that she knew how the match was set; how it was going to be interrupted by the Nexus. She also almost wished she had told him that she was planning to come out and help Mark beat down the Nexus, two on five, as revenge for Vince not booking her. No pranks, no making screw-ups, she just set her own match.
Alix stood there for a good seven minutes, waiting for the Nexus' music to hit. She had already informed Technical and Pyro of how she was going out; no music, no signs of entry. A clang of a steel chair to one of the members, (now she was hoping for it to be Wade,) would be the only sign of another person in the ring, besides the sight of her.
The Nexus' music finally hit, and she counted down for about two minutes. At the end of her nearly silent countdown, she grabbed a steel chair from near her and raced down the entrance ramp. She was met by a small number of cheers; only from people that noticed her, and she slid easily and nearly silently into the ring.
At present, Wade and the rest of the Nexus were beating Undertaker in a corner as Alix treaded quietly over to them. She played this up a lot, now that a lot of people had noticed her, taking the over dramatic steps and everything.
As she stood mere inches behind Barrett, she stood on the tips of her toes and whispered, "You're mine, bitch."
Wade had time to almost turn around to face her before the steel chair hit the side of his head. The resounding clang followed by the drop of Wade's breathless body onto the floor alerted anyone else in the audience that didn't know she was there, as well as the rest of the Nexus. They all whipped to face her as she dropped the chair, most of them growing a quick smirk as they realized who the assailant was.
"This'll be easy…" Heath Slater laughed, and the four make quick advances towards the girl.
"This'll be easy…" Alix mocked, landing a hard but quick punch onto the side of Heath's neck and a quick kick onto his groin. He doubled over in pain and she smirked towards the rest of them.
"That's right. I'm here. Try to beat me now."
AN: Alriighty then! This is what has happened in the newest installment of Alix's weird life. I'm really sorry about the Undertaker's screwed up return in here, but it was the first thing I could come up with to match Alix's revenge. I'll try to match storyline as much as possible now, and not screw around with dates of returns and methods of returns and such. Soo, what do we think? Will Alix beat the rest of the Nexus singlehandedly, or will the Taker become conscious enough to get up and help her? What about Wade's interaction with Alix? I need reviews people! I have four basic needs, food, water, shelter, and REVIEWSS! REVIEW!
