Keira is seen coming into the locker room after her match. She goes over to her bag and pulls out the contacts case. She sighs, knowing what was in them. She puts them back in the bag. She turns to see Roxi enter
Roxi: Good job. I'm proud of you.
Keira: Thanks, Rox. I hope Kate loved my litte surprise at the end before I pinned Seleana.
Roxi: I saw. Just be careful.
Keira: I will. I already got something ready for her
Roxi: And that is?
Keira slowly turns to the bag, both knowing what Keira meant
Keira: I know what you're about to say. I shouldn't. But let's be honest. Kate's not too bright.
Roxi: She's crafty. She may seem dumb, but she's able to pull off things that for some reason work out for her.
Keira: I know. Which is why I have to do this. Otherwise....
Keira shrugs at this
Keira: But, let's not worry about that right now. Since I won. Wanna talk about the note?
Roxi: I think it's pretty clear, isn't it?
Keira: Yes...From the look of it. Someone from GRIME wants to get their teeth knocked out!
Keira looks at Roxi
Keira: Or am I wrong?
Roxi: Amber. It was Amber. That's why you thought it was me. You only saw a woman in a hoddie. And her hair. She's sending messages.
Keira: She wants to get in your pants. Doesn't she?
Roxi: No, Keira. She doesn't. Why is that your first instinct?
Keira: You've had some interesting ex's before you met me.
Roxi: I had one. And he's... nevermind. Now you do. But that's not the point.
Roxi sighs
Roxi: Amber is... Amber is probably one of the most dangerous people we will ever encounter.
Keira: How dangerous? Super baddie? Stronger than me!? OOOOOH! I WANNA FIGHT HER NOW!
Keira begins to giggle at this
Roxi: This isn't a joke, Keira.
Keira: So just a regular wrestler?
Roxi: There's nothing "Regular" about Amber. Look, I will take care of it.
Keira: Look, Rox. We've faced off with the worst before. We can handle it together
Roxi: Normally, I would happily agree with you. But this one... this one is different. This is my fight. You concentrate on what your goal is. Please just trust me on this.
Keira: If it gets worse. I WILL be there. But you're right. I got my own fight to worry about
Roxi: This is different. Not your fight. I know you're with me, but I need to do this one myself. Just like you need to against Kate.
Keira: I know, babe. But that's the PPV. I got a real challenge for next week
Roxi: A champion. Candy isn't going to make this easy.
Keira: I know. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked for the challenge
Keira gets close to Roxi
Keira: Something about Candy gets me excited
Roxi: Don't make it weird.
Keira: Roxi! I would never
Keira would put her hand on her own chest in feign shock
Roxi: Don't mess around. This is serious next week. You've got this, keep it up.
Keira: I will, Red. Right now. I just want to rest from wrestling and start doing planning.
Roxi: Well... let's go home.
Keira nods as the scene fades
-----------------------------------------------------------
Keira is seen in the basement aka their base as she studies the stuff from last week. She sighs, not noticing Roxi coming up from behind
Roxi: You okay?
Keira: Not really
Roxi: This is... a lot to think about.
Keira: I know. On one hand, I'm studying up on Candy as much as I can. On the other, I'm still trying to figure out who made that arm
Roxi: This has Hamilton written all over it. I think we need to at least show them. And maybe we can get something out of it.
Keira: You think they'll let us waltz in and try to admit it?
Roxi: They're supposed to be up front with us, aren't they?
Keira: Suppose to be. But I still think it's bull.
Roxi: This is a way to find out.
Keira: Then suit up, Roxi
Roxi: You got it.
The two go and get dressed. A hour or two, the two land on top of the Hamilton building as the two go straight to the door. But the door opens as a person steps out of it.
Keira: Hands up! Before you become Shoulder Man!
Roxi: Shoulder man...
Keira: You got a better one?
Roxi: Literally anything else. Anyway, we need to talk to Heather. NOW.
Guard: You mean, Warren?
Keira: WHOEVER! Get one of them up here, Jackass!
The guard panics and rushes to get them up to Roxi and Keira
Warren himself soon exits a nearby elevator, smiling as he sees the two heroes.
Warren: Ah, ladies, what can I do for you?
Keira: Die. I mean die. I mean die.
Warren: That is... a bit extreme.
Roxi: Explain this.
Roxi tosses the metal arm at Warren's feet
Warren: This? Where did you find it?
Roxi: Left over from a bank robbery. You wouldn't happen to know what happened with that, would you?
Warren kneels down and checks out the arm. Studying it for a few seconds, he shakes his head.
Warren: Can't say as I do. I said we were getting out of that business, and I meant it.
Roxi: That's really hard to believe when we find this and a lot of money is missing.
Warren: Are you insinuating we had something to do with the bank robberies?
Roxi: Yes.
Keira: Being honest. That arm smells like shit and so do you...
Keira glares at Warren
Keira: Now, unless you want to continue playing dumbass, COUGH UP THE INFO ABOUT THE ARM!
Warren: I'm afraid I don't have any information to cough up, as you say. We don't have anything like this. Look, I know this looks bad. I'm well aware of the history that this company has, especially with the both of you. But, if you want, I will show you that anything we had that was going to be used to try and get rid of you, is gone.
Keira: Start walking and start showing.
Warren: Very well, won't you follow me?
Warren begins walking and the two follow. They head to the elevator and then down several floors, opening to their research and development lab.
Warren: Go ahead, look around. We've turned this... into a science lab for trying to combat the virus sweeping the globe. There are much larger things going around than fighting a couple of superheroes.
Roxi and Keira look around, and to their surprise, Warren is telling the truth. There are no weapons, only medical research.
Warren: Our cameras did record you here before, and as you can see, we're making the change.
Keira: Yea...tell that to Omega....
Keira grumbles a bit, still not wanting to believe any of this
Warren: Yes, We do owe the city a massive apology and more for that. We can't take back what's happened, We cannot change our past. We can't ever really make it up to anyone. Lives were lost and it was a tragedy. All we can do, is try to move forward and make that positive change.
Roxi: Is that supposed to be an apology?
Warren: I am sorry for what happened and the damage we caused. I know nothing will change that.
Roxi: Nothing will change anything. You are still on thin ice.
Warren: But you agreed to give us a chance, didn't you?
Roxi: We did. That doesn't many anything that happens suspect you any less.
Warren: I'm sorry to hear that.
Keira: To be honest. I want to sock you in the mouth. You make me sick you son of a--
Roxi: Stop it.
Warren: Look, I will have anyone who was left over from the previous team look at the arm. But I can tell you now, the last thing that Hamilton made to try and stop you, was destroyed right in front of your eyes.
Keira: Yea...
Warren: You have seen for yourself. This is what we're doing now. No weapons, no bio monsters. Which, not to try and stir the pot but... it was from your genetic makeup Ms... Kat.
Keira: And that button just got pressed!
Keira tries to throw a punch in anger, but Roxi stops her before it lands
Roxi: Stop it. That's enough. From everyone.
Roxi glares at Warren just as she does Keira.
Roxi: Everything right now, checks out. It seems you are telling the truth. But this... is a big facility. And if need be, we will tear it apart if it turns out you are lying about any of this.
Warren: Our doors are open in case you want to see anything. Your trust, is important to us.
Roxi: We'll just see about that.
Keira just turns and walks off, still angry at this point. Moments later, Keira was on the rooftop of a building, looking over
Keira: He has to be lying....he has to.
Roxi: I know how you feel. I just... the truth is we don't have anything to really go on here. There's no markings on the arm, and... I mean.. .you saw it, everything has been changed. Cleaned up.
Keira: Something isn't right. None of it makes sense!
Roxi: It doesn't feel right ot me either. But until we have something concrete... We can't just go barging in there every time we have a hunch.
Keira: We need a plan or at least someone to go in there. More so as a undercover agent.
Roxi: We did that before. We need more. I know how you feel. I know that what he said was hurtful.
Keira: When he said that...reminded me of Nathaniel.....
Roxi: I know...
Keira just lowers her head
Roxi: Look, we'll figure this out. But staying here isn't doing us any good.
Keira: I'd rather get someone in there. Why not Amy Jo?
Roxi:AJ is doing her own thing. I wouldn't want to risk her in there.
Keira: There has to be one person that would and would never get caught. One with more pull than they wish they ha--
Keira snaps her fingers as Roxi quickly knows who Keira is talking about
Keira: I KNOW WHO!!!!
Roxi: It's too dangerous. Look, if someone gets caught, we're going to do more damage to ourselves. We're going to look obsessed.
Keira: We don't have a choice. You got a idea?
Roxi: Let's just wait. Get something concrete. It's not worth the risk right now. I mean... I know it's far fetched but... what if he actually is telling the truth?
Keira looks at Roxi, angry and now annoyed by those words
Roxi: I get it. It's not a popular answer, but right now... it is the answer. We don't have any proof of anything. Just a hunch. A strong one, but a hunch isn't going to get us anywhere.
Keira: I still say we should go with my idea
Keira slowly stands up. Still mad, but more upset.
Roxi: We need evidence Keira. We can't risk someone. There's too much that can go wrong.
Keira: Like what!? We need something. Anything! She's the only one that can do it.
Keira looks at Roxi
Keira: And you know it
Roxi: Like people getting hurt! Our reputation, their reputation, lawsuits. What you're talking about is espionage. If we had something stronger, I would agree with you. But the fact is... we don't. We don't even know if the robberies are connected to Hamilton at all!
Keira: Fine! But if we get one more robbery and we find out it's connected. We send her in....fair deal?
Roxi: Fine.
Keira sighs a bit
Keira: I'm sorry. I'm just so mad
Keira leans her head on Roxi's shoulder
Roxi: I know. I'm sorry.
Keira sighs a little bit cause of it.
Roxi: But let's not let that get us down. We're going to figure this out. Let's not stay in this place any longer.
Keira nods as they begin to go, but they get a message from their communicator
Keira: Talk to us, V
Vision: Another bank robbery, I'm afraid.
Roxi: Same M.O.?
Vision: Yea, but they left something at the scene. Police wants you two to come check it out.
Roxi: We're on the way.
The two rush off to the scene. As they arrive, they go through the front door and see the scene tarped off
Keira: That's not good...
Roxi: Come on, we need to get inside.
The two get deeper inside and that's when they see it. Another arm, the same as the one they found at the last robbery, but it was more mechanic.
Roxi: Great.
Keira: Hey, we good to get clues from it?
Agent: We left it here for you guys.
Agent 2: We didn't touch it or anything, but the name on it may surprise you.
Keira goes and takes a look. Her eyes widen as she turns and points the name to Roxi
Roxi: Well?
Keira: LOOK! It looks like Hamilton!
Keira points to it, the name was scratched off a bit
Roxi: Let me see.
Roxi looks down, and the logo is not 100% visible, but there are outlines.
Roxi: It's possible.
Keira: We cool with taking this with us?
Agent: We're going to need to take that into evidence.
Roxi: Just get some pictures.
Keira: I don't have my camera, LB—
All of a sudden, Roxi goes to her little pouch and pulls out mask with glasses attached to them, more so to cover Keira's eyes with to be unseen.
Keira: ....LB? Why do you have a second mask with glass eyes?
Roxi: For occasions like this.
Roxi uses the mask to take photos, zooming in on the scratched logo
Keira: Wow...
Roxi: Thank our mad scientist friend.
Keira: Remind me to smack her later
Roxi: She's a life saver. Calm down. Let's get out of here.
Keira nods as the two exit, the scene fading
--------------------------------------------------
The scene opens up in the basement where we see Keira once again, looking at the arm. But more so this time, the pictures of the new arm left at the crime scene. She keeps zooming in on some parts, mostly to see if there was anything at this point.
Roxi: You're going to give yourself eye strain staring that hard, you know.
Keira: You're not funny.
Roxi: I'm being serious. You're obsessing over this. You need to take a break.
Keira: I can't, babe. I got to train for Candy as well.
Roxi: That's what I meant. Get off this arm. Let it go, appraoch it fresh when you've had a chance to not think about it. It'll cloud everything if you don't walk away from this. Just for a little bit.
Keira sighs
Keira: Have you sent it to AJ at least?
Roxi: She'll look when she gets a chance. I know you want to figure this out, but you're going only going to frustrate yourself if you don't step away. There's lots of training to do and plenty to study up on. This... this can wait.
Keira: Roxi....with everything going on right now. This, me facing Candy and the title shot with Kate in a few weeks. Not to mention....those....
Keira takes her finger and points to the contacts case on the desk
Roxi: Exactly the reason you need to take a break.
Keira: Fine, fine....
Roxi: Good
Keira finally stands up from her chair. She goes over to Roxi and holds her. As she does, her stomach begins to growl
Keira: I guess you were right. All the worrying I've done. It's made me forget to take that pill.
Roxi: See. Take it easy. Let's get you some food, and the pill, and get you ready for the challenges ahead.
Keira: Right
Keira smiles as the scene fades
===============================
As another week passes and I get closer to my destiny, facing Kate Steele for the Bombshell Internet Championship. But I still got one more challenge to go.
Seleana, I think you last week for a great match. You always know to bring out the best in me and I hope the same to you. But, the better woman won and to be honest, I can't wait to face you again down the road. I do apologize for Kate being well...a useless bitch at ringside. But I'll take care of her soon enough.
But enough about last week. Like I said. I got one more challenge to go before my big title match at Into The Void in a few weeks.
Her name...is Candy.
Hi, Candy. We finally made it, didn't we?
We finally made it to this Sunday at Climax Control. To be honest, I've been waiting for this moment since not only when we first met. But when you first signed to SCW. You never let life get you down, even when life tried to throw you so many curveballs.
This is one of the reasons I like you alot, Candy and why you're my best friend. You can take it and give it right back. Your positive energy keeps all of us going. Hell, it got you the Bombshell Roulette Championship. A title I once held and now you're keeping it's legacy alive.
To be honest, it does pain me to finally face you in the ring, but it excites me too at the same time. It feels like those rare times I would face Roxi in the ring. Knowing I'm facing someone so near and dear to my heart. This is where I'm at again, Candy. Except you're not my wife. But you're my best friend.
And I know in my heart that you won't hold back on me.
So forgive me for not holding back on you. Forgive me for the bruises, cuts and scrapes I'm going to give you in our match. But if you want to beat me, you'll have to knock me out, Candy. Will you do it? I guess we'll see, won't we?
Candy, bring me everything you got this Sunday. I'll give you my all. I won't do my little old saying for you. Cause you're not a bitch. I'm not breaking a bitch. I'm not breaking your spirit. I'm gonna put you through the pace this Sunday.
If you survive, win or lose. Then I can fully say....
You're a honorary member.....
of Team Hero!
See you Sunday, Candy!
