Zenna Zdunich: I am here.
Zenna Zdunich sits on the bed in her room in Circus Circus Reno, taking everything in. Her wife's voice comes back over the phone.
Linnéa Lacroix: Where's here?
Zenna almost laughs.
Zenna Zdunich: Circus Circus Reno.
Her wife, Linnéa Lacroix, lets her eyes go wide.
Linnéa Lacroix: Man, I haven't been there in years.
She goes quiet for a second.
Linnéa Lacroix: Not since we got sober.
Zenna nods.
Zenna Zdunich: I did not tell Jezzy and Bethy I was coming here. They never react well to hearing "Reno."
Nodding knowingly, Linnéa sighs sadly.
Linnéa Lacroix: Too true, how's it been so far?
Zenna shrugs.
Zenna Zdunich: I do not know. Five minutes' time is not enough to judge such things.
Linnéa smiles encouragingly for her wife.
Linnéa Lacroix: Just be careful about going to any of the bars, ja?
Zenna smiles at her wife's caring concern.
Zenna Zdunich: I will be avoiding such places. That is usually how dealers find you and if Christina makes it here, we'll not be wanting to take her anywhere such a thing either. She has just as much to worry about there as we do.
Linnéa nods slowly.
Linnéa Lacroix: Are she and Seleana together again?
Again, Zenna shrugs.
Zenna Zdunich: I do not know. I did not ask and no one said anything.
She pauses.
Zenna Zdunich: I know the kids would like it to be so. Rori was attached to Christina first.
Linnéa cocks her head.
Linnéa Lacroix: And E?
Zenna shakes her head.
Zenna Zdunich: Sarabi found him at the zoo but he wants the stability back.
Her wife nods.
Linnéa Lacroix: I can understand that, especially if he never had any before.
Zenna nods but looks like she's shaking her head as she does.
Zenna Zdunich: Ja, that is it exactly. He had none until Sarabi brought him home and now that was thrown into discord. If they have had that discussion, I cannot imagine it went well given how defensive and deflective Christina tends to be.
Linnéa nods pointedly.
Linnéa Lacroix: That is why she needed your help. You would not let her do such things. You have always been more sponsor than sister-in-law to her.
The redheaded Swede nods her acknowledgement.
Zenna Zdunich: It was always funny, her addiction mirrored yours more than mine.
The dark haired New Orleans native nods.
Linnéa Lacroix: It did. You enjoyed whiskey, vodka and cocaine but not as much as I did. The pain meds were always more your jam.
Zenna sighs.
Zenna Zdunich: Ja…
She looks down in shame.
Zenna Zdunich: I should have had more empathy for Christina.
Linnéa just stares back at her wife through the screen.
Linnéa Lacroix: You had plenty, Z. She made it and you managed to not beat her ass aside from that one time you had to drag her out of a bar on Bourbon Street and you both got arrested.
She nods encouragingly.
Linnéa Lacroix: You should be proud, Z, of her and yourself.
She exhales deeply.
Linnéa Lacroix: I know you didn't think you could help her and you definitely didn't think you could do it while staying sober yourself.
Shaking her head, Linnéa just looks her wife down.
Linnéa Lacroix: I never doubted you.
Zenna nods and smiles sadly.
Zenna Zdunich: I know. You always had more faith in me than I had in myself.
She nods to herself sadly.
Zenna Zdunich: Now, I fight a woman called Bea. Sarabi has fought her before, says Bea is no easy out.
Linnéa nods.
Linnéa Lacroix: You show her, Z. You've been doin' this for thirteen years, fought wars with yourself that should have killed you. I know you've always been a tag teamer, but you can do this, Z. You can do this.
Zenna smiles.
Zenna Zdunich: I love you, Li.
Linnéa Lacroix: I love you, Z.

The camera opens on Zenna standing in her hotel room, looking dead into the lens, ready to take on the world.
Zenna Zdunich: So, my sister called me eight months ago after the incident in front of family in Stockholm with Mercedes Vargas. Called again after the incident in Mexico with Crystal where Christina let her take over to a crazy extent.
She nods, more to herself than anything else but also pointedly so.
Zenna Zdunich: I came here just to fight with my sister against… and for… my sister-in-law.
Silence fills the gap. When her voice returns, it has an almost contemplative air to it.
Zenna Zdunich: I never thought about anything else, anything further, anything after. What more was there? This was Wildside coming to yet another company, our fifth together, fourth as a team.
She shrugs, almost snickering in spite of herself.
Zenna Zdunich: Well, it would be sixth overall and fifth as a team if the one we tried to join hadn't died before we started in it.
She nods to herself again.
Zenna Zdunich: So yeah, I never really tried for anything solo.
Her hand rises, fingers popping up to count off her list.
Zenna Zdunich: I've always been about tag teams. I started with my wife as the Fallen Angels.
Looking into the camera, Zenna's expression hardens.
Zenna Zdunich: That team has still never lost.
She smirks amusedly.
Zenna Zdunich: We added a third partner, my cousin, Maja, and we won championships in Hybrid Wrestling.
Her smirk grows knowing.
Zenna Zdunich: Kayla should remember, she was there too.
Zenna nods to the camera.
Zenna Zdunich: After that, I started teaming with my sister as Wildside. We won championships in multiple companies. We became a great team, even if Christina resented it because we were the team they were supposed to be.
The Swedish woman nods again.
Zenna Zdunich: She promised Sarabi they would be the Hollywood Angels before my sister even went active. It's been years…
She shrugs.
Zenna Zdunich: Now, SCW has shoved me in the singles direction, which is something I never really thought about.
Looking down at her feet, the redheaded Swede takes a deep breath.
Zenna Zdunich: Never needed to before. Never wanted to either but now?
Zenna looks back up and cocks her head.
Zenna Zdunich: Now, I fight Bea Barnhart for a chance at the Internet Championship at Blaze Of Glory.
She pauses, nodding to herself with an expression of realization.
Zenna Zdunich: Bea Barnhart, the woman who has fought my sister many times and keeps coming back for more. She is the example because she started in a mixed tag team and then moved on to a singles role and never gave up. She kicked and scratched and clawed and started looking for every tactic, clean, dirty, underhanded, manipulative…
Zenna glares harshly.
Zenna Zdunich: I am ready to fight, Bea.
She nods directly into the camera.
Zenna Zdunich: You come at me with everything. I will come like I never have because I have to. I have to prove to myself that I can do this on my own. I will show you the woman that beat the old boyfriend that tried to end me, that tried to end my wife for having the audacity to love me. The woman who beat the damage, the drugs, the demons, who fell into the abyss and not only did not die but climbed back out the hole and dared the universe to try again.
The camera zooms in tighter.
Zenna Zdunich: Come at me, Bea, and try to do what nothing could.
She nods knowingly, pointedly.
Zenna Zdunich: Ja, this is my first singles try, but it will not be my last. See you soon.
