Alix heard a deep snarl from behind her, presumably from the Undertaker. The lights in the arena shot off in a flash and both Del Rio and Barrett gasped – although Barrett had still not left the X-Stinger's side. With a sound of sizzling, Alix's eyes caught a quick flash of light from above her, and she heard Del Rio yelp.

There was a hand on Alix's shoulder as Barrett turned away, and she was brought back to the ring. She saw then what the Undertaker had done.

There was a scar of red on the steel entrance, almost as if it had been burned. But Alix knew better than to think it was a regular fire.

"Lightning bolt?" she whispered to the Undertaker, who still had a hold of her shoulder.

"I'm not letting him hurt you again." He nodded, not letting his eyes leave Barrett and Alberto Del Rio. "Or anyone hurt you again, for that matter. If I have to scare them into leaving you alone, then that will be what I do."

Alix smiled warmly as she watched Del Rio and Barrett scramble to their feet, trying their best to get backstage again without any Undertaker incidents. As Barrett got almost backstage, just enough so that everyone could still see him, he wiped the fear off of his face and smirked at Alix, mouthing the words 'you're mine,' to her. She shuddered and he laughed, heading completely backstage so no one could see him anymore.

With a second between Barrett's exit, the Undertaker's theme hit and the two started a slow walk backstage. The audience was dumbfounded by this alliance between the two opposite Superstars but nevertheless enjoyed every bit of it.

"Mark – you could have gotten her killed!" a deep voice lumbered towards the Deadman and the Stinger. Alix had to look up to the new man, while on the other hand the Undertaker was nearly at eye level with him.

"I'm fairly sure I know how to control my powers, Paul." The Undertaker glared at the Big Show, tightening his grip on Alix's shoulder. "And if it's worth anything I'm fairly sure the girl was the one getting herself in trouble with the Nexus."

"You could have struck her!" Big Show roared, raising his hand as if he was getting ready for a chokeslam or a big right hand. Undertaker looked at him skeptically, and it seemed as if he was immobilized.

"Nice try, Big Show." Undertaker nodded sincerely to him. "Again: I know how to control my powers. Let's go Alix."

The two started to walk past the large wrestler, before Show put a hand on Alix's other shoulder with a low growl. "She doesn't have to go with you."

"Actually she does." Undertaker again looked skeptically at the Big Show. "I doubt you're going to say or do anything about it anyway, are you Paul?"

"You never know." Paul pulled Alix a little closer towards him. "Now let me take her."

"Okay, guys – I'm not a – " Alix started but was swiftly cut off.

"Take her?" Undertaker scoffed. "You're acting as if she's a dog or a piece of meat."

"You're acting as if she's yours!" Big Show shouted, and everyone that was anywhere near the three in the hallways surrounding them backstage looked towards them. Alix's face flushed red and she immediately started looking around for ways to get out of this predicament without continuing to be 'claimed' by the two Superstars.

Quickly she ducked out of the way as a crowd formed, and stepped out of one of the Emergency Exits. Surprisingly enough, the Exit was right by the real exit, and the three limos for the Superstars, plus Big Show's bus, were out there waiting already.

For once they're early. That's awesome.

Alix walked quietly to one of the limos. The show was almost over, so she didn't expect anyone to be in any of them. As soon as anyone got in a limo the lines were drawn with who could go where. It was normally Faces, Heels, and Divas; just as it was the first time Alix was on Smackdown.

She quietly slid in to one of the limos, and looked around the darkness, waiting for anyone else to be ready to head back to the hotels.

Seemingly out of nowhere she heard someone clear their throat from right next to her. She whipped her head towards the noise, and there was someone sitting right next to her that she hadn't even noticed.

"Hey Alix." A higher-pitched man's voice said, and Alix had to smile at it.

"Hey Rey. S-sorry I didn't notice you…I thought I was the only one here. I can leave if you want me to…"

"No, no, stay." He shook his head, motioning for her to sit completely back against the seat again. "Nice job with your Nexus attack today. I can't believe Del Rio joined the Nexus."

"I know." Alix rolled her eyes. "I personally don't know how I'm gonna survive. I might have to go the John Cena route and create my own super-team!"

Rey laughed easily, wrapping his arm around the smaller girl. "I'd be guaranteed a place in that team, wouldn't I?"

Alix faltered, trying to take that question seriously. I wonder if I would definitely give him a spot…but…Evan…

"I dunno if Evan would like that." Alix shrugged, trying to sound as if she wasn't making a big deal out of the question and hopefully in a way that Rey wouldn't make a big deal over it either. Apparently that didn't work very well.

"Evan? What does he have to do with anything?" Rey asked, sounding confused and even a little hurt, but Alix couldn't tell why.

"Well…you know…" Alix shied away from Rey, sitting so that there was at least one seat in between the two. "He's really sweet and nice and cute and…"

"So you do love him." Rey sounded defeated. Alix was brought back to full attention with the word 'love.'

"Hey, hey, I never said the word love. Love is a very strong word." Alix looked wide-eyed at Rey. "I like him, yes, I do; but I didn't think that was too much of a surprise. It seems like everyone knows."

"Didn't know if I should trust what other people were saying." Rey said gruffly, looking away from Alix. "Guess I should though…"

"What about Evan is getting you all riled up, Rey-Rey?" Alix asked softly, scooting back towards her friend. "You were all cool and happy and stuff and then I brought up Evan…do you have a problem with him?"

Of course I have a problem with him… Rey thought, glaring at Alix for a quick second. "No, of course not. Why would I have a problem with him?"

"You just seem like you have a problem with – "

"Hey guys!" The limo door opened and Alix was swiftly interrupted. Christian grinned at the two of them before sitting down. "Crazy stuff tonight; ooh, was I interrupting something? I'm sorry – should I let you two finish up?"

Alix plastered a fake smile on her face before she responded. "Nah, you didn't interrupt anything. Get in before the driver leaves without you, dumbass."

Christian laughed and slid in, sitting across from Alix. "Oh, hey, what was that stuff goin' on between Paul and 'Taker? They were completely screaming at each other."

"They're just idiots." Alix shook her head. "They're like over-protective dads – they were arguing about who I should hang around with, like who would protect me better. They're completely embarrassing."

Christian laughed, and the limousine slowly filled with the rest of the Face Smackdown Superstars who were there for that night's show. Rey stayed quiet in the corner of the limo, nothing said after Christian came into the limo.

It took over an hour and a half for Alix to get back to the hotel, and it was only her, Christian, and Kofi Kingston left in the car. They were the only Face Smackdown Superstars that decided they wanted to stay with their Raw friends.

About fifteen minutes away from the hotel, the trio was still talking.

"Guess what I heard from JaFakin' over here?" Christian smiled, nudging in Kofi's direction. Kofi looked at him strangely.

"And what would that be, Chrissie?" Alix asked, lounging back, her eyes already beginning to close from tiredness.

"There are like five people who are crushing on the X-Stinger." Christian waggled his eyebrows at her. Alix snorted.

"Oh really? Good for her."

"Aw come on, don't be a party pooper." Christian pouted. "Don't you wanna guess?"

"No she doesn't." Kofi's eyes widened.

"First guess: JaFakin'." Alix grinned, opening one eye towards Kofi. Christian laughed and nodded, while Kingston blushed.

"How'd you know?" Christian laughed again.

"Paul told me how he acted on my first day here. Paul as in Big Show, not Hunter. He was all crush boy." Alix giggled. "Don't worry Kofi, I won't hold it against you."

"Second guess?" Christian asked, fully excited with all of this.

"AirBourne, obviously." Alix scoffed. "Do you count him? Since we're like…"

"Yes I count him." Christian gagged. "Don't go getting all lovey-dovey on me or anything. Third?"

"Uhmmm…Truth? I think?"

"Moment of silence for the injured." Christian bowed his head, and stayed quiet for maybe five seconds. "But yes. He's not as bad as AirBourne or JaFakin' but he's in crush boy mode as well. Fourth?"

"Maybe Cena? I dunno I can't tell with him…"

"Yes! You got Cena. Come on, you're missing an obvious one…"

"I really don't know." Alix shrugged. "I thought that was it. Is there really someone else?"

"Are you kiddin' me, girl?" Kingston laughed. "Yes there's someone else!"

"Well who is it?"

"Mysterio!" Kofi and Christian exclaimed at the exact same time. Alix's eyes widened with shock.

"You're kiddin' me, right? Mysterio doesn't like me – and never will!" She shouted. "Why would he?"

"I'm not gonna go flattering you – but he does. So get over it. I thought you'd be happy."
