Love, Carefully Handled
Las Vegas, Nevada
Valentine’s Day

Miles had already decided they weren’t going out before Carter ever said the words. Truth be told, Carter hadn’t said them at all.

He’d hovered in the bedroom doorway earlier that afternoon, keys in hand, that careful look on his husband’s face, the one that meant ‘I’m fine, really’, except Miles knew better now. Knew the way Carter still clocked exits without meaning to. He also knew how the idea of crowds still lived somewhere between exhausting and impossible.

So Miles had taken the keys from his hand, kissed him once on the cheek, and said, “Sit. I’ve got this.”

And that was that.

Now the condo smelled like rice vinegar and ginger, clean and grounding. Two containers of sushi sat on the counter, meticulously chosen, checked twice, nothing that would even think about triggering Carter’s allergies. Miles had been ruthless about it for years now and he was not about to take shortcuts or risks.

A bottle of Carter’s favorite wine rested on the counter like a quiet promise. Candles, not dramatic, just intentional, waited unlit on the coffee table.

It wasn’t fancy. It was theirs and exactly how they liked it.

From down the hall came the unmistakable sound of teenage panic.

Miles...” Kevin called, voice wobbling, “How long does it take to decide if this is ‘trying too hard’ or ‘not trying enough’?

Miles didn’t look up from slicing avocado, “Depends. Are you staring at yourself in the mirror like it’s about to judge you?

...Yes.

Miles smiled, “Come ‘ere, let’s see.

Kevin appeared in the kitchen entryway, hoodie half-zipped, his dark curly hair still damp from the shower, hands jammed in his pockets like he didn’t know what to do with them. He was obviously nervous with an edge of earnestness. You could tell he was trying so hard it hurt. And it was adorable, reminding him of Carter at the beginning of their relationship.

Miles leaned back against the counter, pursuing the look. Kevin stood there like he was waiting to tell him it was all wrong. Miles sighed and waved to him, “All ‘ight. Come here.

Kevin shuffled closer. Miles glanced at him over and then reached out, tugged lightly at the hoodie zipper, adjusting it by a fraction, “Ok, first of all relax your shoulders. You look like you’re about to sit down to a huge exam.

Kevin groaned, "This is worse.

Miles snorted, "I mean...Fair. But it’s not like you two haven’t been out before.” Then, absolutely unhelpfully, he started to sing “Love is in the aaaiiir...

Kevin froze, "Miles...please....No. Don’t. Please don’t.

Every sight and every soouuund...

For Gods sake....MILES!!

From the living room came a sudden, off-key intrusion, "Dooon’tcha wish your girlfriend was hooooot like meee...” It sounded less like singing and more like an owl with asthma trying to seduce a room.

Kevin slapped both hands over his face, "I am never emotionally recovering from this.

Miles turned slowly to see Carter was sprawled on the couch, blanket over his legs, grinning like a menace, clearly proud of himself.

That,” Miles said flatly, “Was a crime, love.

Carter coughed and tried again, worse this time, "Don’tcha--” He broke into laughter halfway through, "Okay, no. I’m done. My voice tapped out.

Kevin groaned, "You’re both grounded, you are to stay in this house and not embarrass me any further....” Just as his phone notification goes off, “Connor is in the building. He’ll be here in a few.

Miles laughed, walked over, and squeezed Kevin’s shoulder, "Go on. Before we embarrass you further.

Kevin hesitated, then nodded, "Okay. Are you sure that I look okay? I mean...

You look amazing, Kev! Have fun!!!

Trust us, kid. We want you to be comfortable.” Before he could move, Miles pulled him into a quick, firm hug, "Text when you get there. Text if you’re going late. CALL if you need us. But most importantly be yourself and have fun.

Kevin hugged back harder than expected, "I will.

The knock came a moment later, Connor’s voice echoed from the hallway, bright and nervous. Kevin grabbed his jacket and headed out, cheeks pink.

Miles locked the door behind them, habit ingrained especially after everything, then turned back to the condo.

Carter was still smiling.

Miles started setting things out, plates, chopsticks, candles. He picked up the wine bottle last and that’s when Carter’s smile faltered. It was just a flicker and almost easy to miss. Miles caught it anyway.

Hey,” he said gently, "You good?

Carter looked at the bottle, then away. His fingers curled slightly in the blanket, "I....can we not tonight?

Miles didn’t ask why. He already knew. The image was burned into both of them, Miles standing in a grocery aisle, confused, a bottle of wine sitting in his cart that he didn’t put there. The quiet message, ‘I’m watching.’ Miles set the bottle down without hesitation and slid it out of sight, "Of course.

Carter let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding, "I’m sorry, babe.

No,” Miles said immediately, "Don’t. We can have fun without the inebriations, I don’t even know why I grabbed it.

He grabbed two glasses anyway, filled them with water instead, and carried everything to the coffee table. Carter watched him with something soft and aching in his eyes.

You didn’t even hesitate,” Carter said.

Miles shrugged, "It’s just a drink, love. I rather you enjoy this night more than anything. I don’t want you to forget that, okay?

Carter reached out and caught his wrist gently, "But...It meant something for us.

Hey,” Miles leaned down and kissed him, slow and careful, "You matter more, and tonight it is about us.”

They settled on the couch, sushi between them, candles flickering softly with Netflix roulette about to kick on in full effect. Outside, Vegas kept being loud and sharp and unforgiving. Inside, love was quiet. A little ridiculous. Carefully handled and for tonight, that was enough.

-----------------

A Few Days Later
Las Vegas, Nevada

Miles noticed the quiet first. Not the good quiet. Not the peaceful kind. The settled quiet, the kind that only shows up after something bad has already happened and everyone is pretending it didn’t leave fingerprints behind.

Morning light crept through the blinds in thin bands, striping the bedroom wall. Carter was still asleep beside him, breathing steady, one arm slung across Miles’ waist like it had always belonged there. No nightmare this time.

That alone should’ve been enough to let Miles relax.

It wasn’t.

He lay there staring at the ceiling, cataloguing the apartment the way he did every morning now. He had messaged Kristjan the night before just to give him the morning off. Sleep was harder lately, especially with his head constantly making lists: Locks. Cameras.

He could hear the faint hum of the hallway monitor. Took note of the weight of Carter’s arm. The absence of Kevin’s footsteps, school day, he must be running behind because he heard the alarm go off a while ago.

For all of it, it was just...Normal.

Miles had learned the hard way that normal was not the same thing as safe.

Carefully, so he wouldn’t wake Carter, he slipped out of bed. Bare feet hit the cool tile. He moved through the condo on instinct, not paranoia, at least that’s what he told himself. He checked the door, glancing at the monitor. Adjusted the camera angle in the living room by half an inch, because the sun glare hit it weird at this hour.

He didn’t remember when he’d started doing that.

The coffee machine clicked on. He didn’t drink it right away. He stood there with his hands braced on the counter, staring at nothing, thoughts drifting back to the ring, to the echo of his own voice when he’d announced the stipulation.

Last Man Standing. It wasn’t about Alex anymore, or even that SCW Internet Championship.... Not really.

That part of him, the one that wanted blood, consequence, finality, had already made its peace with that choice. He’d meant every word he said. He still did. But there was another truth sitting heavier in his chest now.

He wasn’t fighting for a title.

He was fighting because he’d seen how quickly everything he loved could be placed on a scale and weighed by people who didn’t know them or didn’t care. They didn’t see Carter wake up choking on memories or Kevin hovering in doorways like he needed permission to exist.

Miles had lived his whole life knowing how to take hits, his old man made sure of that one.

What he’d never learned, what nobody ever prepared you for, was how to stand still while the world threatened to take things from you.

He rubbed a hand over his face, exhaled slowly.

From the hallway came the sound of a bedroom door opening.

Kevin shuffled out in socks, backpack slung over one shoulder, hair still a little wild from sleep. He stopped short when he saw Miles and gave a small, sheepish smile.

Morning,” Kevin said.

Miles turned, surprised, and then he froze. Kevin wasn’t tense or guarded. He didn’t seem to be scanning corners or folded inward like he had been weeks ago. Just... tired normal teenager that sat on the edge of 16.

Morning,” Miles said quietly.

Kevin crossed the kitchen, grabbed a granola bar from the bowl like it was muscle memory, "Connor texted me very early. Apparently he still has been finding chocolate and popcorn in his hoodie since Saturday. I think he’s dramatic.

Miles snorted before he could stop himself, “You can thank Bella for the recipe when we see her next time, tell him if he needs it dry cleaned to bring it over and I’ll see what I can do.

Kevin glanced up, caught the sound, and smiled wider—proud. Like he’d earned it.

I may stay a bit after school, they are doing track tryouts and...I don’t know, I was thinking about trying it out.” Kevin added, "The gym teacher has always said I was the fastest runner they’ve seen in quite some time.

Well how about this....Text me when you’re done,” Miles said automatically, "I’ll pick you up. Now are you sure you don’t want a ride in this morning?

Nah, Connor’s dad said he can grab me this morning,” Kevin hesitated, then leaned in and hugged him, quick, unannounced, solid, "But I will do that.

Then he was gone, door clicking shut behind him. Miles stood there long after, coffee forgotten, chest tight in a way that had nothing to do with fear.

Behind him, Carter’s voice drifted softly from the bedroom, "Kev gone?

Yeah,” Miles answered, "Didn’t wake you, did we?

Nah,” Carter appeared a moment later, hair messy, eyes still soft with sleep. He crossed the kitchen and pressed a kiss to Miles’ shoulder without thinking, like it was the most natural thing in the world. Miles let himself breathe as he wrapped an arm around Carter, grounding himself in the warmth, the weight, the here.

Iron Sharpens Iron
Las Vegas, Nevada
Late Night

The gym was empty in the way Miles preferred.

No music pumped through the speakers. No mirrors crowded with people checking themselves. Just fluorescent lights humming overhead, rubber mats scuffed by years of use, and the faint metallic smell of sweat and disinfectant that never really left a place like this.

Miles, believe it or not, liked it better when the room didn’t watch him back....most of the time.

He wrapped his hands slowly, methodical, the tape pulling tight around knuckles that were still a little tender if he pressed too hard. He ignored that part. Pain was familiar. Pain was honest. Pain didn’t lie to you about what you were capable of.

The heavy bag swung slightly as he nudged it with his shoulder, setting it in motion.

Brandon “F’N” Hendrix wasn’t the reason he was here tonight....Miles knew that.

Hendrix was a stop. A speed bump. A message written in someone else’s blood if it came to that. Useful, necessary, but not the point. Still, Miles smiled to himself as he rolled his shoulders and took his stance.

Cheeky bastard,” he muttered under his breath, thinking of his brother.

LJ had handled the aftermath of that cheap shot from Hendrix exactly the way a Kasey would, grinning through the chaos, refusing to shrink, turning indignation into fuel....and dropping his drawers in front of an international audience that made him the talk of the town for 2 weeks plus some. Miles had watched the footage more than once, not out of concern, but out of something closer to pride.

Once a chav, always a chav.

They just learned when to aim it.

Miles drove his first punch into the bag, hard, clean, snapping the chain overhead taut. The bag swung back and he met it again, rhythm settling in. Each strike echoed in the empty gym, sharp and final.

Hendrix liked to posture, liked to swing big and loud, and liked to make moments messy and personal. The kind of bloke who thought escalation was the same thing as dominance.

Miles had fought men like that his entire life.

He pivoted, elbow cracking into the bag, then followed with a knee that made the chain rattle. Sweat broke across his shoulders almost immediately, shirt clinging as heat bloomed under his skin.

Should’ve kept your hands to yourself,” Miles said aloud, voice steady between breaths, "The Bill Barnhart match wasn’t your business.

Another strike, followed by another.

You made it our business.

The bag swung wide. Miles let it. He let it come back at him like a threat and stepped inside it, smothering it with a brutal combination that left his forearms buzzing.

He paused then, resting his forehead briefly against the bag, breathing deep.

LJ’s face flickered through his mind, not hurt, not shaken, but ready. The same look Miles had worn once upon a time when the world thought it could take a bite out of him and walk away clean.

Miles straightened and went to the weights.

The barbell was already loaded heavily. He didn’t check the plates again. He didn’t need to. He lay back on the bench, hands wrapping around the cold steel, and pressed.

Once.
Twice.
Again.

His muscles burned. His chest screamed. He pushed anyway.

Because Hendrix wasn’t the real audience.....Alex Jones was.

Miles sat up after the set, breath rough, sweat dripping down his temples. He wiped his face with the hem of his shirt and stared at his reflection in the darkened mirror across the gym.

Alex would be watching Climax Control. Of course he would. The teacher just couldn’t help but stand there measuring, judging and waiting for cracks to appear in front of him.

Waiting to see if Last Man Standing was bravado or prophecy.

Miles snorted quietly, "Don’t worry,” he said to the empty room, "I know you’re watching.”

He stood and paced, rolling tension out of his neck. The gym felt smaller when he stopped moving, like it wanted him in motion or not at all. He grabbed his phone from his bag and checked the screen. A message from LJ sat unread, timestamped a few minutes earlier.

Miles opened it.

LJ: You better not break him too badly. I still want my turn.

Miles laughed, the sound bouncing off concrete walls. He typed back with sweaty thumbs.

Miles: I’ll leave you a little something. Can’t promise he’ll be pretty.

He hesitated, then added:

Miles: Proud of you, by the way. Keep being annoying. It suits you.

The reply came almost instantly.

LJ: I learned from the best.

Miles shook his head, smiling despite himself, and tossed the phone back into his bag. He moved to the ropes next, practicing footwork, light on his feet despite the weight still clinging to his limbs. Every movement was sharp, intentional. There was no wasted energy and no theatrics.

This wasn’t about showing off. This was about reminding the world, and himself, who handled the grown-up problems when they stopped being games.

Brandon Hendrix would get the lesson first. Alex Jones would get the reminder.

Miles wiped his hands on a towel and glanced once more at the heavy bag, still swaying gently like it hadn’t quite recovered. After a few he sat on the edge of the bench, forearms resting on his thighs, hands still wrapped. Sweat drips off his knuckles and hits the mat. He doesn’t look at the camera at first.

When he does, it’s steady.

Brandon ‘F’N’ Hendrix.

A breath through his nose. Almost a laugh.

You know what the funny thing about you is? You think you matter right now.

He leans back slightly, rolling his neck.

You swing on my brother after a match because you apparently desperately needed attention announcing your return with authority. You needed your name attached to something with heat, something with blood, something that made people stop scrolling and look twice. And congratulations, mission accomplished.

He nods once.

But here’s where you miscalculated.

Miles’ eyes harden.

You thought LJ was the target. You thought he was the lesson. You thought because he smiled, because he joked, because he handled it with that cheeky little grin we Kaseys are known for... that he wasn’t taking you seriously. And you thought I wouldn’t take it personally.

He leans forward now.

Let me be very clear with you, Brandon. You didn’t start a feud with my brother. You volunteered to stand in front of me.

Miles exhales slowly.

I have to admit, I’ve watched you for a while. You’re loud, you’re reckless and you hit hard and you hope that’s enough to scare people into backing down. You call it intensity. You call it being ‘real’.

He shakes his head.

I call it lazy. You want to be the guy who makes a moment ugly. You want to be remembered as the bloke who doesn’t care about consequences.

Miles’ mouth twitches.

That’s adorable, bruv.

He sits up straighter.

Because here’s the difference between you and me: I care very deeply about consequences. I just choose them. I’m still paying for them even with some still not being around.

His voice lowers.

Climax Control isn’t about teaching you a lesson. It’s about correcting a mistake. And that mistake was you thinking you could touch my family and keep walking.

He lifts one wrapped hand, flexes it.

And mate, I’m not going to rush you. I’m not going to brawl for the sake of noise. I’m going to take you apart in a way that makes sense, piece by piece, until that ‘F’N’ in your name starts feeling real personal. I promise my brother I’ll leave a little bit of you left. I’m a man of my word.

His eyes sharpen again.

But understand this, Brandon, whatever version of you walks into that match? He is not walking out the same.

Miles finally leans back, gaze drifting just off-camera.

And Alex Jones?” A slow, knowing smirk, "I know you’re watching. You always are.

He looks back to the lens.

This isn’t me warming up. This isn’t me blowing off steam. This is me reminding the world what happens when you mistake my patience for softness.

He stands.

So Brandon....you wanted attention.

Miles turns away from the camera.

Congratulations. Ya got it, mate. In spades.

Precious Moments
Kasey-Calaway Home


The sunlight peeked in through their bedroom window, sliding through the thin gap in the curtains and spilling across the bed in a soft wash of gold. It warmed Alexandra’s shoulder first, then her cheek, coaxing her gently from sleep. She blinked slowly, adjusting to the light, and became aware of the steady rise and fall of the body pressed against hers.

LJ was still asleep. He had rolled toward her sometime in the night, and now his arm was wrapped securely around her waist, his hand fisted loosely in the fabric of her shirt as if even in his dreams he needed to make sure she was there. His leg was tangled with hers beneath the blankets, warm and heavy, keeping her anchored in place.

She shifted just enough to see his face. Sleep softened him. The usual spark in his expression was replaced by something peaceful, almost boyish. His lashes rested against his cheeks, his lips slightly parted with each slow breath. A faint line marked his pillow where he’d pressed into it, and his hair was a mess, falling across his forehead in a way that would normally drive him crazy. Alexandra smiled.

Carefully, she lifted her hand and brushed the hair away from his eyes. Her fingers lingered against his temple, tracing the familiar curve of his face. “You’re so handsome when you’re not being stubborn,” she whispered, her voice barely louder than the hum of the ceiling fan. He didn’t wake. But he made a soft, sleepy sound and pulled her closer.

The movement was instinctive. His arm tightened around her waist, drawing her flush against his chest until there wasn’t an inch of space left between them. His chin dipped, resting lightly against the top of her head. She could feel the warmth of his breath in her hair.

“Okay,” she murmured, smiling at him. “I’m not going anywhere.”

She let her palm slide over his chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his heart beneath her hand. It beat strong and sure, a quiet reminder that this was real. That he was real. That this life they were building together wasn’t some fragile dream that would dissolve with the morning light.

“I love you,” she whispered softly. The words settled into the space between them, simple and true. He shifted slightly, his fingers flexing at her back, but he stayed asleep.

His body responded to her voice even if his mind didn’t. He tucked her in closer, his nose brushing faintly against her temple in a sleepy nuzzle that made her breath catch.

Her throat tightened unexpectedly. “I can’t wait to marry you,” she continued quietly, her fingers tracing absent patterns against his chest. “I can’t wait to call you my husband. To wake up like this every morning for the rest of our lives.”

The sunlight crept higher, catching on the curve of his cheekbone and turning his skin warm gold. She watched it move, watched the way it made him look almost unreal.

“I can’t wait for the loud mornings,” she went on softly. “The messy ones. The days we’re running late and arguing over who forgot to set the coffee maker.” She smiled to herself. “I can't even wait for the hard days. As long as it’s with you.”

He inhaled deeply, and for a second she thought he might wake. But instead, he only tightened his hold again, one broad hand sliding slowly up her back in a lazy, unconscious motion. It settled between her shoulder blades, warm and protective.

She pressed her face closer to his chest, breathing him in. “You don’t even know how much you mean to me,” she whispered. “How safe you make me feel. How steady everything feels when you’re next to me.” Her fingers curled lightly into his shirt.

“I used to wonder what forever would look like,” she admitted quietly. “And now I know. It looks like this. Sunlight and you half-asleep and refusing to let me move.”

As if to prove her point, LJ shifted again and pulled her impossibly closer, his leg hooking more firmly around hers. His lips brushed clumsily against her hair in another unconscious kiss. Alexandra laughed under her breath.

“You’re ridiculous,” she said fondly. “You’re not even awake and you’re still making me fall in love with you.”

She lifted her head just enough to press a soft kiss to his chest, right over his heart. The steady thump beneath her lips made her close her eyes for a moment.

“I promise I’m going to love you like this forever,” she whispered. “Even when we’re old and grumpy. Even when you steal all the blankets. Even when you pretend you don’t want to cuddle.”

He made a low sound in his sleep, something between a sigh and a hum, and buried his face more securely against her. His hand tightened once more at her back, as if sealing some silent agreement. She smiled, blinking back the sudden sting of happy tears.

“I can’t wait to start the rest of our lives,” she said softly. “I can’t wait to build everything with you. Every holiday, every ordinary Tuesday, every late-night conversation. All of it. I want all of it with you.”

The room remained quiet except for their breathing. The sunlight now fully bathed the bed, wrapping them in warmth, but neither of them moved. Alexandra settled against him again, letting her weight sink into the solid comfort of his embrace. She felt small there, protected and cherished in a way that didn’t need grand gestures or dramatic declarations.

Just this. Just him holding her, even in sleep. “I love you, LJ,” she whispered one last time. He didn’t wake. But his arms stayed wrapped around her, firm and sure, as if even in his dreams he already knew.



Never Gonna Stop
Unknown Location


The iron gate does not swing so much as it complains, a long, tired groan rolling out into the evening as Alexandra lays her hand on cold metal and persuades it to open. The hinge sounds like it has remembered every season it has endured, every storm that has rattled its bones, every time someone crossed this threshold with grief in their throat and flowers trembling in their hands, and it resents the living enough to make them work for it. Alexandra does not. She applies pressure with the steady ease of someone who expects the world to yield when she asks, and the gate gives way just enough for her to pass through, the iron brushing the lace of her sleeve as if testing the texture, as if curious whether this woman is velvet or blade.

“That was like a welcome home..” She looked at the iron gate as she spoke.

She steps into the cemetery and the air changes, not dramatically, not like a door slamming shut behind her, but like a slow exhale, a subtle shift that presses the scent of damp earth and standing water closer to her skin. Spanish moss hangs thick from the oaks, trailing in gray-green veils that sway gently, stroking one another as though whispering. The ground is softer than it ought to be, a skin of moss and slick grass over mud that remembers rain and refuses to dry, and between leaning headstones the swamp has begun its quiet invasion, black water pooling in shallow basins where it reflects pieces of twilight sky. Fireflies drift in lazy arcs, their light blinking like distant lanterns across a forgotten yard, and somewhere beyond the fence frogs sing with the steady confidence of creatures that have never needed permission to survive.

Alexandra’s dress belongs to this place the way candlelight belongs to a parlor, not because it is modest, but because it is deliberate. Black lace overlays pale silk that catches what little light filters through the canopy, the fabric moving in soft, controlled waves with each step, the bodice fitted in a way that shapes her posture into something unyielding and regal, while the neckline curves with a femininity that is not offered so much as possessed. The sleeves are sheer lace, intricate patterns crawling along her arms like shadowed vines, and the skirt trails behind her like a slow, whispering promise. A velvet ribbon circles her throat, anchored by an antique brooch that looks like it has been worn through funerals and weddings alike, and the faint scent of jasmine follows her, warmed by something darker beneath it, something earthen and sweet like crushed petals pressed into damp soil.

She closes the gate behind her with careful finality, letting it meet the post with a low clang that echoes across the graves and settles into the humid air. She stands there a moment, fingertips resting against the iron, her head tilted slightly as though listening to the cemetery’s response, and when she speaks her voice is smooth enough to be mistaken for kindness until the meaning settles in.

“Now this,” she murmurs, eyes sliding over the rows of stones, “is a place that understands consequences. A place that understands finality.”

She begins to walk, unhurried, the camera catching the slow glide of her hand along the tops of headstones as though she is greeting old acquaintances. Names blur beneath lichen, dates soften, marble edges wear down into gentler shapes, and the cemetery seems less like a map of the dead and more like a ledger of time’s patience, a reminder that everything eventually lies down and stays quiet. Alexandra’s boots sink slightly with each step, leaving impressions that darken as water seeps up around them, and she does not hurry to keep her hem dry, because she is not here to be careful.

“You’ve been talking, Bea,” she says, her voice carrying through the open air as if she expects the trees to relay it, as if she expects the swamp to keep record. “I can’t say I’m surprised. You always did enjoy the sound of your own outrage, like it’s a hymn you can sing until it becomes holy.”

She stops beside a tilted headstone, one that leans toward the path as if trying to listen, and she traces the carved letters with a fingertip, slow and thoughtful, her nail catching in a groove where the stone has cracked. She looks at it like she’s considering whether the name still matters, then turns her gaze back toward the darkness between the oaks, toward a presence that is not there but will be, toward a rival who exists in Alexandra’s words whether Bea is listening or not.

“You want to call it cheating,” Alexandra continues, tone warm as candle wax, “because that’s easier than admitting what really happened. Cheating means you were wronged. Cheating means you were robbed. Cheating means you don’t have to look at yourself and ask what it is you lack.”

Her smile is slow, almost indulgent, as if she’s humoring a child’s tantrum.

“But I was there,” she says, and the softness in her voice turns into something sharper without raising its volume. “I stood across from you. I saw your eyes. I felt the way you tried to force the moment to bend toward you, like willpower alone could rewrite the ending.”

She takes another step, and the ground dips toward a shallow pool of swamp water that has spilled into the cemetery’s belly, dark and reflective, collected between graves like spilled ink. Alexandra lifts her skirt just enough to keep the lace from dragging, not out of delicacy but out of preference, and she steps into the water with calm certainty, boots breaking the surface and sending slow ripples outward. The water is cool against her ankles, and the reflection of her dress fractures into wavering shapes, black lace becoming shadow, pale silk becoming moonlight, the entire image trembling as if the swamp itself is unsettled by her presence.

“I didn’t cheat you,” she says, looking down at the water as though it might show her the match again if she stares hard enough. “I beat you.”

She lets the words hang. She does not rush to fill the silence. Somewhere in the trees something rustles, a small sound, perhaps a bird shifting, perhaps nothing at all, and it feels like the cemetery is holding its breath, listening for what comes next.

“I beat you,” she repeats, quieter this time, as if the repetition is not for emphasis but for pleasure, as if she enjoys the feel of truth on her tongue. “Clean. Clear. And the only reason it gnaws at you like rot in the bone is because you walked in believing you were entitled to an outcome you hadn’t earned.”

She wades through the pool and steps onto higher ground, the hem of her gown catching a faint sheen of water that clings like dew, and she does not bother to wipe it away. Instead she drifts toward a weathered statue, an angel whose face has been softened by time until its features are barely there, less expression than suggestion. Spanish moss has gathered around its shoulders like a stole, and Alexandra reaches up to lift it away, fingers combing through the strands slowly, almost sensually, as though she is undressing the stone.

“You demanded another chance,” she says, eyes on the statue as her hand strokes along its wing, which is chipped at the edge. “Not because you’re noble. Not because you’re brave. Not because you love the fight.” She turns her head slightly, gaze sharpening as if she can see Bea standing between two headstones, arms crossed, chin lifted, indignation painted across her face like war paint.

“You demanded another chance because you can’t stand losing to me,” Alexandra continues, and now the cruelty in her voice becomes unmistakable, not loud, not screaming, but steady as a knife pressed into skin. “Because you can’t stand that I am the proof. The proof that all your noise, all your insistence, all your righteous little speeches don’t mean a God damn thing when the bell rings and the only thing that matters is who can take it and who can’t.”

She drags her fingers from the angel’s wing down to the cold stone shoulder, then lets her hand fall away and continues walking, deeper into the cemetery where the graves begin to lean more sharply, where the ground looks less tended, less visited, and the swamp’s encroachment grows bolder.

“Death comes for all in the end.” a smirk. “I’m not talking about literal death here, I’m talking about the death of belief in your skill.” The water gathers in larger pools here, dark and glossy, and roots twist up through the soil like knuckles, breaking the surface in slow, patient rebellion. Fireflies blink in clusters near the ground, their soft light reflecting in the water like scattered beads.

“I remember the end,” Alexandra says, voice turning almost conversational, as if she is recounting a story at a dinner table with a silver fork in her hand. “I remember you trying to twist away, trying to scramble for leverage like you could negotiate with gravity, like you could bargain with pain.”

She pauses beside a grave whose marker has sunk so far that only the top edge shows above the mud. She crouches slowly, lace folding around her knees like dark petals, and she places her fingertips on the exposed stone as if steadying it. “Just like this moment, I’m already staring your future in the face. The death of your dreams.” The swamp water laps quietly at the base, and Alexandra’s reflection hovers in the surface, a pale throat, a dark ribbon, a mouth curved in calm contempt.

“You felt it, hell Amelia felt it, I felt it.” she says softly, eyes on the water. “That moment when the match stopped being your story and started being mine.” She stands again with controlled grace, brushing her fingertips together as if removing invisible dust, and then she smiles, the sort of smile that suggests she is enjoying herself.

“I don’t need to embellish,” Alexandra continues. “I don’t need to invent. I don’t need to tell people what happened like it’s folklore.” Her gaze lifts, steady and unblinking, as if she is staring straight into Bea’s future. “The record already tells it, and your body remembers it.”

She walks on, the path narrowing, the moss hanging lower, brushing her shoulders like a lover’s hand. She does not flinch or duck. She allows it. Her fingers reach up and trail through the moss as she passes, the strands slipping between her knuckles, leaving faint dampness behind. The camera catches the way she touches the world, not like a tourist, not like someone passing through, but like a woman reminding the land who it belongs to.

“You want to talk like the Bombshell internet title like it was stolen from you,” she says, voice softening into something almost pitying, which somehow makes it worse. “As if it ever belonged in your hands. As if you ever held it in your spirit. You don't even have it yet.”

She laughs quietly, a low sound that feels like a door closing somewhere deep inside an old house. “Bea,” Alexandra murmurs, “I didn’t take your chance. I took your fantasy and I broke it in front of you.”

She stops near a cluster of wildflowers blooming in stubborn defiance beside a cracked headstone, pale petals glowing faintly in the twilight. She bends and plucks one flower from its stem with careful fingers, lifting it to her nose as if inhaling something delicate and precious. The gesture is soft, feminine, almost tender, but the look in her eyes is not.

“Smells sweet,” she says, still holding the flower, her voice warm with mock appreciation. “That’s the trouble with sweetness, though. It fools people into thinking it can’t rot.” She drops the flower into a pool of swamp water beside the stone and watches it float for a moment before the petals begin to darken at the edges, soaking, sinking. “That’s you,” she says lightly, turning away as if she has already dismissed the matter. “Pretty noise until the moment it meets real weight.”

She moves toward a family plot enclosed by rusted iron fencing. The gate is crooked, hanging slightly, and she pushes it open with a slow squeal of metal, stepping inside with the ease of someone entering a private garden. The air feels a degree cooler here, the shadows deeper, the stones larger and older, and Alexandra circles the central monument once, fingertips trailing along the iron rail as if tracing a boundary.

“You ever notice,” she says, voice carrying through the enclosure, “how wrestlers build these little fences like they think iron can keep the world from changing?” Her fingers tighten briefly around the rail, and when she speaks again the sweetness leaves her voice, replaced by a calm, lethal certainty.

“You built yourself a fence too,” she says. “You built a story where you’re the wronged woman, where you’re the one who deserves, where every obstacle is unfair and every outcome that isn’t yours is a theft.” She releases the rail and rests her hand on the monument, palm flat, as if claiming it. “And then you ran into me,” Alexandra continues, the words slow and heavy, “and I showed you what happens when fences meet storms.”

She steps back out of the plot and lets the gate swing shut behind her with a soft clang that feels like punctuation. The swamp hums around her, alive with insects, and the sky deepens toward night, the last traces of gold fading into bruised purple. Somewhere in the distance thunder murmurs low, not yet a threat, but a promise.

“That’s what happens, when you step into the ring with me. By now, I figured you would know this for a fact.”

Alexandra begins to follow a narrow trail leading away from the densest graves, and the silhouette of the church emerges through the trees ahead, a crooked steeple rising against the darkening sky. The building looks like it has been abandoned for decades, paint peeled away into strips, boards warped and swollen, windows shattered into jagged mouths. Vines creep along its walls like veins, and Spanish moss drapes from the eaves as though the church itself wears mourning.

Alexandra slows as she approaches, not because she is hesitant, but because she wants the moment to last. She steps carefully onto the first porch board, and it groans beneath her weight, a long, complaining sound that echoes into the trees. She smiles at that, as if amused by how everything in this place insists on speaking. “You hear it?” she asks, tone gentle, almost intimate, as though Bea is standing close enough to feel her breath. “Even the wood complains when I walk on it.” She takes another step. The board creaks again. “That’s power,” Alexandra murmurs, and the word sounds like silk drawn slowly across skin. “Not the kind you beg for, not the kind you demand with tantrums and petitions.”

She reaches the door and runs her fingers along the weathered wood, tracing the grooves carved by time, her nail catching on a splinter that lifts like a tiny tooth. She does not flinch. She presses her thumb against it until it snaps, then wipes her hand against the side of her skirt with slow, elegant precision.

“Bea,” she says, voice low, “you demanded a match like you were calling a servant to fetch you tea, like you could ring a bell and the world would hurry to please you.” She leans closer to the door, and for a moment her reflection wavers in the dark, cracked pane beside it, her pale throat framed by black lace, her eyes steady and cruel. “I’m not your servant,” she murmurs. “And I’m not your salvation.”

She pushes the door open slowly. The hinge groans like something waking from a long sleep, and the smell inside is different, cooler, layered with dust and old wood and the faint hint of mildew, as if the building has been breathing quietly all these years and no one has noticed. Moonlight spills through broken windows in pale beams, illuminating floating dust motes that drift like slow snowfall. The pews sit in rows, coated in a thin layer of time, their edges worn smooth by hands that are long gone.

“I’m your reaper, your end. We both are veterans here, let’s not get that twisted my dear. I’ve been around Sin City Wrestling isn’t my first company, but it’s become my home.”

Alexandra steps inside and the sound of her boots changes, no longer sinking into mud, now echoing softly against warped floorboards. The church feels hollow, but not empty. It holds its own quiet, as if it remembers every prayer ever spoken here and keeps them pressed into the walls like dried flowers.

“Listen, soak it all in.” She walks down the aisle slowly, fingertips gliding along the backs of pews as she passes, leaving faint tracks in the dust, a visible sign of her presence. Her dress brushes the wood with soft whispers, and the lace catches faintly on a splintered corner before slipping free. She pauses, not at the front yet, but halfway down, turning her head slightly as if listening to the building.

“Can you feel it?” she asks, voice soft, intimate, the question aimed at Bea but also at the space itself. “How quiet it gets when it’s honest.”

She resumes walking, and with each step the echo follows her, gentle and persistent, as if the church is repeating her words back in its own language.

“You want to rewrite what happened,” Alexandra says, her tone returning to that calm, controlled cruelty that feels like cold water poured slowly. “You want to pretend the match was stolen, that the outcome was unfair, that the universe owes you a correction. You want to pretend like it was everyone’s fault, except your own. Who’s really to blame for your shortcomings?”

She stops near the front, where the pulpit stands, wood worn and cracked, and she rests her hand upon it, palm flat, as if claiming the only throne she needs. The moonlight catches on the lace of her sleeve, turning it briefly into something silver.

“But the truth,” she continues, gaze steady, “does not care about your feelings. Nor do I. I have a goal in mind.”

She trails her fingers along the pulpit’s edge, collecting dust on her fingertips, then lifts her hand and rubs the dust between her thumb and forefinger as if testing its texture. “This dust,” she murmurs, “is what happens when time keeps going whether you win or lose.”

She turns slowly, facing the rows of pews as though addressing an unseen congregation, as though the church is full of witnesses who have come to watch Bea’s pride be dismantled.

“I beat you,” Alexandra says again, and this time the words land like a final nail driven into wood. “Not because I got lucky, not because I cheated, not because anyone handed me a gift.” Her lips curve into a slow smile, sensual and cold all at once. “I beat you because I wanted it more than you did,” she says, “and because I understood something you still refuse to understand.”

She steps away from the pulpit and begins to walk along the front of the church, slow and deliberate, trailing her fingers along the edge of a broken altar rail. The wood is splintered, rough, and she lets it scrape lightly against her skin, not enough to draw blood, but enough to remind her body that the world has teeth.

“You think you can demand your way into power,” Alexandra continues, voice low, smooth, relentless. “But power isn’t something you ask for, Bea.” She stops, tilting her head, eyes glinting in the moonlight. “It’s something you embody,” she murmurs. “It’s something that changes the room when you enter it. It’s something you take.”

She gestures lightly, letting her hand sweep across the empty church as if presenting it, as if this decaying place is her ballroom and the moss outside is her curtain. “And I changed everything the moment you stood across from me,” she says softly. Her gaze hardens, the sensual warmth sharpening into a merciless edge.

“So here’s what’s going to happen,” Alexandra continues, her voice steady as a vow. “You can keep buzzing and whining, you can keep clinging to the story that protects your pride, you can keep telling anyone who will listen that you were cheated.”

She pauses, allowing the silence to deepen, allowing the church to hold her words like a sermon. “And then you can step into the ring with me again,” she says, “and I will do what I do best.” Her smile returns, slow and terrible. “I will take that story from you,” Alexandra murmurs, “and I will crush it in front of you until all that’s left is the truth.”

She steps back toward the pulpit, resting her hand upon it once more, posture tall and composed, lace and silk and shadow, aristocratic queen and swamp witch all at once, as though she belongs to both candlelight and mud, to both velvet and bone.

“And Bea,” she adds, voice soft, intimate, carrying through the empty church like a whisper sliding under a door, “the next time you come looking for justice…”

She tilts her head, eyes narrowing with quiet delight. “Make sure you’re ready to meet it.”

She lets the silence linger, the church swallowing the last of her words, and she stands there in the pale spill of moonlight, one hand resting on the pulpit like a crown set gently on a throne, as the swamp outside continues its slow, inevitable rise.

Cassie was all set to challenge Alicia Lukas for the Bombshell Roulette Title at Blaze of Glory XV in two weeks’ time and with her win over Zenna Zdunich at the penultimate show of the cycle it looked like she was heading into the second PPV of the year with all the momentum she could ask for! However she was scheduled to compete on the Go Home Show for Blaze of Glory, her opponent? None other than Alicia’s Wolfslair Teammate and World Bombshell Champion Kayla  Richards! It was a non-title match and it wasn’t even the Main Event but this was a huge match for Cassie and less so for Kayla, can Cassie get the win?

Josh’s Gym, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 15th of February 2026, 11:00am

So yeah, things have escalated quickly.

After I beat Zenna last night over in Kent, Washington I thought I’d have an easy road to Blaze of Glory XV but nope! Not only do I have another match lined but it’s against the new World Bombshell Champion Kayla Richards in her first match since ending Crystal’s dogshit reign a couple of weeks ago! And just to make things clear? This match is non-title so it’s not like I’m gonna walk out the World Bombshell Champion if I manage to pull off the win on Sunday.

Well that and if it was a title match I’m sure it’d Main Event over Logan vs. Carter! Not to mention what such a win would mean for me heading into Blaze of Glory XV!

But non-title or not I’m still treating this like it was a title match because I know Kayla won’t treat it any differently! She may be the biggest bitch on the Bombshell Roster but at least she takes her title matches seriously unlike Crystal did,

Yes, I’m seriously crapping all over Crystal’s title reign like there’s no tomorrow! Seriously who in 2025 was clamouring for Crystal Hilton to hold the World Bombshell Title? Yeah, yeah, I know she won that thing at High Stakes last year, it’s why I said 2025 instead of 2026. But even so!

“Cass, you’re on top form today!” Josh called out to me as I ran the ropes and I grinned before stopping to turn to my manager. “Keep this up and your next opponent won’t know what hit them!”

”You mean Kayla at Climax Control or Alicia at Blaze of Glory?” I called back as I turned to him and Josh just shook his head. ”Because I’ve got them in back to back matches and Alicia’s coming off a non-title win over Victoria Lyons while Kayla just won back the World Bombshell Title.”

“Let’s just say both and save us the headache.” Josh responded as he leaned on the ring apron. “And let’s face facts, heading into your match at Blaze of Glory Alicia is coming off that win over Victoria while Kayla has a ton of momentum from winning the World Bombshell Title back, your win over Zenna was impressive, no one’s doubting that, but we need to face facts: Kayla’s a far bigger test than Zenna.”

”I think most would argue that Kayla’s a bigger test than both Zdunichs aside! I swear that Six Bombshell Tag between Crystal and the Zdunichs and[Mercedes and the Metal Maniacs may as well be subtitled “Who are the most useless teammates?”, only thing missing is Candy ad Mc Manners to make it an Eight Person Tag!”/color]

“Well, one: Ms. Manners hasn’t been seen since Twisted Sister sent her running out of the arena in that Lumberjill Match that served as Alicia’s first defence.” Josh pointed out and I had to admit that he had a pioint. “And even if Ms, Manners was around I doubt she wants to get in another match with Twisted Sister!”

”She wasn’t even in the match, she served as one of the Lumberjills until Twisted Sister screamed at her!” I pointed out and Josh chuckled as he thought back to that day. ”Then again I was one of the Lumberjills too o if nothing else? It would be a werd way to book end Alicia’s reign.”

“True, as long as you remember to protext your leg like Harper showed you last week.” Josh advised me and I nodded. “Alicia targeting your leg is the whole reason she went on to win the title after all.”

”Yet another reason for me to beat her.” I added as I leaned back against the ring ropes. ”It was never officially confirmed but I’m pretty sure the fact that Alicia fucked up my leg is the reason why I missed Violent Conduct!”

“Still doesn’t explain you almost missing High Stakes.” Josh commented and my eye twitched as I thought back to that bullshit. “Because your leg was fully healed by that ooint.”

”It was because of Christian’s typical “What Have You Done For Me Lately” attitude, don’t forget that Alicia fell victim to it too.” I pointed out as I shook my head. ”Not to mention his bias for nostalgia acts.”

“We’ve gone over that enough times Cass, let’s skip that whole thing before it sends your blood pressure through the roof.” Josh responded with an aggravated sigh and I nodded before resuming my training.

Cassie’s Home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Thursday the 19th of February 2026, 14:00pm

I have been training for most of the week and you can probably guess why! Going from Zenna to Kayla to Alicia in four weeks (and yes, I’m counting the two week period between the Go Home Show and Blaze of Glory XV) is pretty damn brutal. Especially when I’m easily the shortest Bombshell on the roster at 5ft 3 and barely weigh 120ibs on a good day!

Thank god my speed more than mkes up for my size, right?

Anyway today was a rest day for me and Harper and she had brought her Labradors Logan and Xavier over to hang out with my Golden Lab Sandy for the day.

”I still think we should take them to the dog park at some point Harp.” I commented as I stroked Xavier and Logan lay at my feet while Sandy sat next to Harper. ”I mean, what’s the worst that can happen?”

”I can think of a few, squirrel related ways.” Harper commenyed as she leaned back in her chair. ”But yeah, that does sound good!”

”See? I do have good ideas sometime.” I commented with a grin and Harper laughed. ”So, you still think they’ll be a Bombshell Fatal Four Way match to go with the men’s match?”

”I mean, I don’t see why they wouldn’t consider such a match, I’m just wondering who else they’d put in it.” Harper commented as she shook her head. ”Because right now it seems like I’m the only Bombshell who has nothing scheduled for Blaze of Glory XV! I know I previously said that I thought I’d be taking it easy after the two matches with Victoria but now I’m not sure.”

”Either way, there’s still this Sunday’s show to go, they probably have a few more matches to announce.” I added and Harper nodded before we eventually went to get the dogs leads so we could take the labs to the dog park.

Cassie’s promo room, Las Vegas, Nevada
Friday the 20th of February 2026, 14:00pm

*promo time*

Oh boy.

”Good news everyone! I picked up the win over Zenna Zdunich last Sunday!” I commented with a grin which disappeared just as quickly. ”Bad news is that this Sunday I’m facing Kayla Richards in a non-title match which happens to be Kayla’s first match since she beat Crystal for the title a couple of weeks ago.

And even though I’m scheduled to challenge Alicia Lukas for the World Bombshell Championship at Blaze of Glory XV I still have to ask, does the front office still have it out for me because I refused to stay quiet about almost missing High Stakes?”
I asked rhetorically as I shook my head. ”At least it’s not a Hardcore Match this time around!”

I stated as I brushed some hair over my shoulder.

”But yeah Kayla, considering we faced off ln last year’s Elimination Chamber Match for the World Bombshell Title? It is kinda funny how we’re encountering each other again at the final show before this year’s event.” I added as I folded my arms. ”And really, that could be argued as the point where my first full year on the Bombshell Roster peaked considering how the rest of the year went for me but that was then and this is now!

And this week and this year? I’m flipping the script!”
I stated as I grinned right at the camera. ”This may be your first match as World Bombshell Champion Kayla but that doesn’t mean you’re bulletproof!”

Nope.

”Ig anything it means that you have an even bigger target in your back and everyone else is aiming right at you to take their shot, me included!” I added as I folded my arms. ”So in other words Kayla? Don’t enter this match like winning is a sure thing, because it isn’t!”

It’s that simple.

”Then again that’s like asking Brooke Shields to not annoying mispronounce please in every other sentence!” I commented dryly as I shook my head. ”Because let’s face it Kay, that’s your whole personality! And this Sunday? That arrogant attitude is coming back to bit you on your overrated ass!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”And just so we’re clear, I’m not saying Kayla is overrated as a wrestler, I’m calling her actual ass overrated!” I stated with a big grin on my face. ”Sorry, not sorry! And Kayla? Ready or not, you’re about to get humbled by a petite Aussie! To all my fans? In a world of fake queens and Brits with an ego bigger than their homeland? Be yourselves and be a Rebel Princess! And Kayla? Be ready because I’m Hungry Like the Wolfe!”

I turned off my camera as the scene fades.

Climax Control Roleplays / Forging A Champion
« Last post by Zayvion Lyons on February 20, 2026, 09:55:32 PM »
The old warehouse was cold and dark when Zayvion stepped into it. He wasn't sure why Cleo had him come here, but given some of the surroundings the dots were starting to connect.

A collection of large spare tires of various sizes, lay in a corner, a climbing rope hung from the rafters, and an empty pool took up a good quarter of the room. Zayvion still had little time to take it all in before he was nearly blinded by a giant spotlight illuminating the area.


“Hello?” he called out using his hand to shield his eyes.

“In order to build a champion.” came the voice of Cleo “One must let go of their comforts.”

“Cleo?” he called out looking around his eyes now adjusting “Is that you? What's going on? What is this?”

“One has grown too attached to the pampered training Of The Lyons Den.“ Cleo's voice echoed throughout the warehouse once more.

“Is this some sort of weird initiation?” said Zayvion “Come on, where you at? Stop playin’ with me.”

He suddenly heard her voice come from right behind him.

“Ain't nobody playing with you.” she said "It's about to get real.”

Zayvion turned around slightly startled to meet Cleo face to face.

“Sup?” he said.

Cleo remained still and serious.

“You ready?” she asked.

“I don't even know what we're doi…” Zayvion began, getting interrupted by a hard slap to the face.

“That's not what I asked.” Cleo said “I asked if you were ready.”

Zayvion rubbed his face.

“What was that?!?” he said “I just want to know what…”

Another slap, this time harder.

“It's a yes or no type of question.” Cleo said “Are you ready?”

When he looked back at Cleo again,  she had the most serious look in her eyes he had ever seen. He knew she wasn't playing around and whatever she had planned for him, he just had to go for it and learn to face the unexpected.

Learn to face the unexpected….

Maybe that was the point….

Cleo had never let him astray before and he knew she had the best intentions for him.

“Yes.” He said “I'm ready.”

He was only slightly frightened by the way Cleo smiled and laughed in response.

“Good.” she said “Go grab a tire and start flipping it. A big one.”

“For how long?” Zayvion asked

“Until I tell you to stop.“
Cleo replied

“So you want me to just keep flipping the tire over and over?” he said.

“I want you to stop asking questions.” Cleo replied sternly

Zayvion received the message loud and clear and walked over to grab a tire and started to roll it toward the center of the warehouse before Cleo yelled at him.

“No.” she said “Carry it.”

He nodded and lifted up the tire, which was a good deal heavier than it looked and carried it back to the center of the warehouse dropping it to the floor with a thud.

“Go.” said Cleo as she stood observing like some sort of urban Mr Miyagi.

Zayvion knelt down and placed his hands on the cold rubber of the tire, and with a heavy grunt he heaved it up and forward, the sound echoing through the warehouse as the tire hit the concrete.

He looked over at Cleo who said nothing, only watched him with stern eyes as he bent down and flipped over the tire once again.

again

again

again

and again.

Over and over Zayvion flipped the tire, his arms growing more and more tired each time the slam echoed throughout the warehouse. He didn't know how many times he had flipped that goddamn tired by the time he heard Cleo's Voice once again
.

“Stop.” She said  “Good work, are you ready to move on?”

“You think I can get some water real quick first?” ask Davion.

Cleo nodded.

“All right, cool you got a cooler or something around here?” asked Zayvion between breaths.

Cleo smiled and pointed upward near where the rope was tied at the top of the rafters, also sat a cooler resting on the beams.

“You've got to be kidding me..” said Zayvion “You expect me to climb the rope, and retrieve the water bottles out the cooler.?”

“You catch on quick.” said Cleo.

“Can I at least rest my arms for a second?” He asked “They're a little tired….”

“Oh are they?” said Cleo sarcastically, "Do you think Alex Jones cares if your arms are tired? You want water, go get it.”

“Man, you different for this.” said Zayvion with a heavy exhale, as he tugged on the rope. It was sturdy, not that he expected it not to be.

The ascent began has he climbed upward, pulling himself up on more willpower than actual strength. His arms were throbbing but he couldn't give up.

“Come on let's go!" he could hear Cleo yell as he got about halfway up the rope “You want that water you have to fight for it.”

That's when it dawned on him this wasn't just about him getting water bottles, they were a metaphor for the roulette championship and the climb he was going to have to go through if he was going to be able to earn the right to call himself champion.

“Legs!” Cleo called out “Use your legs!”

He adjusted wrapping his legs tighter around the road using his feet to push him upward which honestly only helped a little but it was enough to get him all the way to the top, to hook one arm around a beam for balance, grab a few water bottles and shove them into his waistband.

He had to slide most of the way back down his hands burning from the friction but his feet finally hit the concrete where he lied at a heavy exhale and immediately took a big drink of water and dumped some over his head.

For a brief moment there was peace, and he almost felt relaxed then came close voice again.


“I hope you enjoyed that..” she said “Because we're not finished.”

Zayvion looked up at her with a heavy exhale and eyes that said what next?.

Cleo pointed over to the stack of tires.

“Grab a tire and do laps around the pool.” she said.

“It's kind of narrow..” Zayvion said “What if I fall in?”

“Oh. don't fall in.” Cleo said bluntly.

That comment felt more like an order rather than a safety warning, Zayvion made his way over to the collection of tires and picked up one of the regular smaller ones,  hoisting it under his arm and onto his shoulder. It was lighter than the tire he flipped but more suited for carrying such a fashion.  Although, after what he had already gone through, a bicycle tire would have felt like an anvil.

He could already feel the weight of the tire halfway through the first lap weighing on him like a second spine that wasn't supposed to be there, but he had to push forward. Cleo was testing them and as hard as it was he damn sure was going to pass the test.

He continued pace as the first lap turned into the second he felt his foot skitter across the edge and had to wave his arms that regain his balance and continue pushing forward into lap number three

“Focus!” he could hear Cleo call to him.

As lap three turned into four he could feel himself getting a good rhythm everything still hurt but he was starting to get used to it now

And then the lights went out.


“Hey, c'mon!!” he called out “Are you trying to kill me before I even get to Blaze of Glory?

“No.” he heard the voice of Cleo reply back “I'm trying to make sure there's nothing that can.”

Of course. It made sense though. Being the roulette champion meant chaos, and if he ever hoped to hold that championship, he would have to learn to deal with the chaos and the random nature of the wheel. Who knows he might even have to wrestle somebody in the dark in the future should the wheel command it.

He continued forward through the darkness using only instinct to find his way as the third lap rounded off into a fourth and he narrowly missed the same spot he had slipped before.


“If you want to throw in the towel, just let me know.” Cleo called “And we can go back to the nice mats and air conditioning at the Lyon's Den. “

Another test. She wanted to see if he would quit.

He wouldn't.

He made his way through the darkness, lugging the tire around into lap five. By the time he came around again, the lights burst back on, nearly blinding him.

He could hear Cleo clapping.

“Good work.” she said “That's what I like to see. Now when you're in there with a champion like Alex Jones and you think you don't have enough left, you remember this day, you remember this moment.”

Truthfully she had pushed him past his limits or at least further than he thought he himself could go, and that's something Zayvion respected about Cleo, she brought things out of you even you yourself didn't know you had in you. Now, she was no longer trying to create a professional wrestler out of him, She was trying to create a champion.

“Go ahead, take a breather." she said “You've earned it, we'll get back to it in 15 minutes.”

“There's more?” said Zayvion

“Of course.” Cleo replied “That was only the first set, we've got plenty more to go. I rented this place for the day, I need to get my money's worth."

Zayvion nodded, all he could do was roll with it and honestly, somewhere deep down he actually kind of liked it. He knew it was just the beginning of the road, and at the end of it he would call himself a champion.  For now he just enjoyed the 15 minutes of rest until you heard Cleo call out again.

“ All right breaks over, let's start with flipping the tire again…” she said.
__________

The spot hadn't changed much at all, it was still the same park across the street from Rufus's liquor store, the wood picnic table even still had the “ZL” that Zayvion had carved into it almost 8 years ago.

He had a lot of memories here with his crew, Bug, 3-Ball and Lo’. The four of them were as thick as thieves growing up and had known each other forever. Bug and Lo’ were already there when he arrived.

“Zay!” Bug said as Zayvion approached “How you doing homie?”

Andre, or “Bug” was the one Zayvion had known the longest and the one he had always been closest to. He didn't remember how Bug got his nickname, but it had always been there. Even his own family called him Bug.

“I'm good.” Zayvion said, dabbing Bug up, “Just staying on my grind, you know me.”

He turned to Lo’, short for Lorenzo. Lorenzo was the one in the group known in trouble more often than not.

“Yo, Lo’! What's good?” said Zayvion.

“Just keepin’ it real.” said Lorenzo, “Nice of you to come around.”

Zavion raised an eyebrow as he dabbed Lorenzo up, something about his tone felt off.

“So where's 3-ball at?” Zayvion asked “Running casually late as usual?”

He noticed Bug shoot a look at Lorenzo.

“Three is in jail.” said Bug. “They got him for a suspended license and a DUI.”

“Damn.” said Zayvion “How long?”

“Twelve months.” said Bug.

Calvin, or 3-Ball, sometimes three for short was the fourth member of their crew. He was a good guy but didn't always make the best decisions.

“You'd have known about it had you came around more.” said Lorenzo

“Lo’...not now.” said Bug

“Just sayin, we ain't heard from you in months.” Lorenzo said “Was worried you'd forgotten about us.”

“Man y’all my crew.“ said Zayvion “You know ain't nothing changed, I'm just out there trying to get my bag is all.”

“Yeah Lo’ come on we're just here catching up.” said Bug.

“Yeah you know I ain't got nothing but love for y'all.”, said Zayvion “I've just been busy with this whole wrestling thing you know.”

“I know… I know..” Lorenzo sighed “It just feels different, you know? Things are changin’, you out there doing your wrestling, three locked up, it's just me and Bug out here now.”

Zayvion nodded, taking in his friend's words, sensing the subtle frustration in them, that feeling that life is moving forward around you and you're still standing in place

“I get it dawg.” said Zayvion “But that's life you know, things change. Don't get it twisted though, I always got love for the block. It's like that Biggie line, I'm blowing up like you thought I would call the crib, same number same hood.”

“You know, I've been thinking bout my future too…” Bug spoke up “Started taking classes at the community college.”

“Yeah?” asked Zayvion curiously “What kind of classes?"

“Some basic general education ones.” said Bug “And some culinary classes. I'd kind of like to open my own little restaurant someday,  and want to learn how to cook more than just using the grill.”

“Hey man, that's cool.” said Zayvion “You always grilled up the best burgers at the cookouts you'll do great.”

“Thanks man.“ said Bug.

“Just promise me you'll save me a spot opening night when you get that restaurant.” Zayvion said playfully punching Bug in the shoulder.

“Of course.” said Bug, returning a playful punch of his own to Zayvion's arm. “With VIP treatment.”

“Well look at y'all..” Lorenzo said “One about to be the next wrestling world champion, and the other about to be on the Food Network. “

“What about you Lo’?” Zayvion asked “You still workin’ at your uncle's shop?”

“Yeah.” Lorenzo replied “But business has been a bit slow lately, Unc can't afford to give out too many hours.”

“Well don't worry too much.” Zayvion said “You'll be all right, above it you're a survivor Lorenzo, you always find a way to survive.”

“Yeah..” said Lorenzo “I guess that's all any of us can do, survive.”

Zayvion nodded, visiting the old block was a nice getaway from the intense training he had been going through with Cleo. But like Zayvion himself the block was changing, some people were moving forward and some were staying treading water. But in this moment it was nice just reconnecting with his friends and feeling like his old self again even if just for a moment.

The cameras open on the quiet corner of a park where Zayvion Lyons sits at a concrete picnic table underneath a wide tree. He sits on the table rather than the bench resting one foot on the seat decked out in a casual street fit. Cleo Phillips sits on the bench beside the table, decked in her own street fit leaning back casually on the table itself. The camera lingers on them for a moment before Zayvion speaks.

“It's spots like this that I grew up in Alex.” he began “Where you don't got anybody in your ear telling you what you're supposed to be.  It's just you and reality and the reality is I got the biggest amount of my career coming up.”

He pauses for a moment.

“I know it's easy to say that with it being my third match in this company.” he continued “But that doesn't make it any less true or make this match any less important because rest assured this match will be a major turning point in my career.”

He takes a moment to adjust his sunglasses.

“Current Internet Champion, former world champion.  Alex Jones is a main event level talent who's done everything there is to do in this company.” Zayvion continued “He is the kind of an opponent you measure yourself against. I beat Alex Jones and that's confirmation that everything I've been saying about myself ain't talk.”

“On the real tho Zay.” Cleo said “They don't put you in a position like this if they don't know what time it is already.”

Zayvion nods.

“No doubt because the truth is Alex.” continued Zayvion “I might be newer to this stage than you but I'm hungrier. You've been to the mountaintop, you've been fed. But I'm still feeding, and I know as far as my fatal four-way at Blaze of Glory is concerned this match is going to decide exactly what sort of threat I am when that comes around. I fully intend to go into that match as the guy who beat Alex Jones. I beat the Internet champion, and suddenly the conversations different.”

His words come confident and firm.

“You have all your accolades for a reason Alex. You didn't just fall into them.” continued Zayvion “By hook or by crook you went out there and earned that resume. That's exactly why if I'm supposed to be the next one up, then beating you isn't optional, it's necessary.”

He grins.

“You see Alex you've had time to get comfortable.” he grinned “That's just what happens when you've been on top for so long, you get used to the spotlight and being the name on the marquee.  You get to walk into a match with people already knowing what you're capable of. I don't have that luxury, but that's exactly what makes me dangerous.”

“Because he's still proving it.” Cleo said.

“I'm still mostly unknown.” Zayvion continued “Still working my way up. You're defending a position and I'm trying to take one. I'm going into my Blaze of Glory match with a victory over a champion on my shoulders. You're going into yours having to explain to Miles Kasey why you lost the match to the new guy.”

He grins playfully.

“No disrespect.” he said “Just the reality of the situation. You're a benchmark around here, a name that built this place into what it is and I'm carving my name into it. I need this more than you do and I'm willing to go further for it.  You gain nothing by winning this match, but I have everything to gain and I'm going to do whatever it takes to capitalize on that. I had a good first couple weeks but this is the match where Zayvion Lyons arrives.”

“They ain't ready.” said Cleo.

“Win or lose I'm bringing you a fight.” said Zayvion “It's time to show the world that I'm more than just a rookie. I'm Magic Johnson in game six and I'm about to dunk on Alex Jones, ride the momentum all the way through Blaze of Glory and on to the Roulette Championship.

“Does that make Eddie Kareem?” Cleo said

“Something like that.” laughed Zayvion “But like I said when I first arrived  I'm my own man. I'm not going to use my last name to carry me, and on Climax Control when I beat Alex Jones everybody will know exactly who I am.”

“Bet.” said Cleo.

The cameras linger on them for a moment, Cleo looking cool while Zayvion looks into the camera with a confident aura as everything fades to black.

Seleana Zdunich walks into the room with her sister and tag team partner, Zenna Zdunich, and sits down across from Zenna. The elder Zdunich sister looks at her younger, redheaded sister, and nods slightly.

Seleana Zdunich: Heya, Chickie, how's it?

Zenna smiles and hugs her elder sister.

Zenna Zdunich: Så, fittan och Metal Maniacs, ja?

Seleana nods, somewhere between sadness and outrage in her eyes.

Seleana Zdunich: Ja, det kommer att vara dags.

The redheaded Swede shakes her head, anger and disgust permeating every fiber of her being.

Zenna Zdunich: Fitta… deserve whatever we do. Maniacs…

She stops shaking her head just to let her rage glisten off of her.

Zenna Zdunich: They deserve too.

Seleana nods almost vacantly

Zenna Zdunich: Problem?

Seleana stares into the distance and Zenna

Zenna Zdunich: Sarabi?

The word, Seleana's usual family nickname, has no effect.

Zenna Zdunich: Syster?

Again, the word, their familial relationship, has no effect.

Zenna Zdunich: Hej?

Zenna's voice cracks like a whip. Seleana blinks and nods apologetically.

Seleana Zdunich: Jag är ledsen för det.

Zenna nods, letting Seleana off the hook at least for the moment.

Zenna Zdunich: You are ready?

Seleans nods slowly, seeming unsure.

Seleana Zdunich: I…

She sighs heavily. Was it that obvious?

Seleana Zdunich: I do not know. Christina has teamed regularly with us before in WWA before Dani die…

She goes quiet, the memory of the departed Danielle Lopez causing all kinds of emotions to flood in and mix with the ones already present regarding Christina. Zenna nods understandingly.

Zenna Zdunich: She was Christina's cousin, ja?

Seleana nods sadly.

Seleana Zdunich: She believe in all of us.

Looking down, Seleana fights back tears.

Seleana Zdunich: We were a great trios team there.

Zenna smiles.

Zenna Zdunich: We were.

She exhales heavily to try and quell the moment before it really goes down.

Zenna Zdunich: How are you and Christina doing?

Seleana sits back further.

Seleana Zdunich: I…

She shakes her head.

Seleana Zdunich: I love Christina. That never change but…

Trailing off, Seleana looks almost through her sister.

Seleana Zdunich: I do not know if she believe in me.

Zenna takes that in and nods slowly.

Zenna Zdunich: Then…

Knowing how the subject needed to change, Zenna pauses considering her options.

Zenna Zdunich: Let us focus on the fitta and the Metal Maniacs, ja?

Seleana nods ever so slightly.

SZ? Okej.

Zenna's focus intensifies.

Zenna Zdunich: The Metal Maniacs have been targeting us and does it really matter why?

Her teeth threaten to start grinding in outrage.

Zenna Zdunich: They must not be allowed to go unchallenged. We need to respond like you did when Christian tried to put you through hell for answering the one question he never should have asked.

She growls like a wild animal staring down a challenger.

Zenna Zdunich: Mercedes targeted you for the better part of the last year and deserves to be beaten until our hands hurt and then to be beaten more for making our hands hurt.

Seleana nods firmly.

Seleana Zdunich: Ja, she does at that.

Anger filters into her eyes.

Seleana Zdunich: All three fittas…

Zenna nods her agreement.

Zenna Zdunich: If we fight like we did in WWA, they learn.

Seleana nods in agreement.

Seleana Zdunich: For Dani?

Zenna nods at the phrase everyone had used at the WWA end/tribute show after Dani's death.

Zenna Zdunich: For Dani.
