Heh. So it came down to this.
I shouldn't be pulling out such a big gun on someone so weak. But to be quite honest. I do find it a bit...entertaining.
Oh? You don't know what I'm talking about, do you Diamond?
I'm talking about The End. The end of your pathetic little existence upon this Earth.
Poor Little Keira. She was afraid that she would hurt someone like you. Someone who hasn't had a lick of training in her life. Someone who can get their ass kicked within a blink of a eye.
See, that's the difference between Keira Fisher and I. Keira does care about the people around her, til you make her mad. Me, however?
I don't care if you live or die.
I crave the blood of Sinners. I crave the fear that you produce, Diamond. It excites me to no end. You, as Teddy's side bitch. You are the poster child of what a Sinner should be. You give off a few of those Deadly Sins I crave so much.
Greed. Greed is what you love. The money that Teddy brings, the attention you crave. We could call it Gluttony as well, since you crave so much attention. But your biggest Sin is one I'm too familiar with.
Lust.
You parade yourself around Teddy like a Trophy Slut. Thinking the ride will never come to a end. I've seen Sinners like you so many times. Do you know where they end up in the end?
In the gutter or in a Coffin. Take a guess where your future ends up, Diamond. Once you do, you'll see that it puts a smile on my face and that it warms my dark heart.
High Stakes, I'm going to enjoy taking my time with you. Destroying every inch of hope you think you have. You WILL learn true fear and then...
You will learn....Acceptance.
===================================
Keira is seen in the bedroom. She has some hair dye and other equipment as she begins to dye her hair a bit. Roxi casually walks in, looking at her wife.
Roxi: What's with the hair dye?
Keira: Ummm. Stuff...
Keira quickly turns as she grabs some contacts
Roxi: You know I don't care what color your hair is, right?
Keira puts on the contacts as she says.
Keira: You might care...about this.
Roxi: What are you... doing? Why are you changing your look?
Keira turns, her eyes closed for a moment. She opens them and it shows blood red like someone from before
Roxi: No....
Roxi instantly takes a defensive stance.
Roxi: You stay away from my family!
Keira: Hunny, hunny! Calm
Keira goes and takes one of the contacts out to show Roxi
Keira: See? It's still me
Roxi: You almost gave me a heart attack!
Keira: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. But at least I know it fooled you
Roxi: Because that is very real Keira... that almost cost us everything last time I saw it!
Keira: I know. It's been gone for good. It's something the Guild made. Think of it as...Sin Lite. The look of Sin, without the major evil
Roxi: I don't... I don't know about this... bad memories and all...
Keira: Don't remind me. But this is one time only. Because of Diamond.
Keira sighs as she explains.
Keira: Diamond is...Diamond is....
Roxi: Not a threat that this is needed for.
Keira: No. You're right. But, I want to scare her. Show her what happens when you take on the slasher...
Roxi: I get that you want to make an impression, I... I'm just... worried you may enjoy it too much.
Keira: Roxi. I'm not going to go down that road. I promise
Roxi: I hope so. I don't want this to drive you to do something rash. Given everything that's been going on.
Keira: I know.
Roxi: Just being cautious.
Keira: I don't blame you. But it's just to scare her. Nothing more
Roxi: I just don't think you need to go that far, but... I trust you.
Keira: Thank you, Roxi.
Keira smiles as she goes and hugs Roxi.
Roxi: You don't need to thank me, you just need to be careful.
Keira: Roxi, it's not like the past. Plus, Kah was the one who planted the idea in my head.
Roxi: Kah? I... well, she was part of this whole mess.
Keira: She was. It was her idea. Cause as me, I would feel bad for hurting someone who has no experience. But as Sin....
Roxi: We're not out to hurt people, Keira.
Keira: I know. That's why I'm not doing this as Keira.
Keira gives Roxi a soft kiss to the cheek
Keira: One time. That's it. After, I'll burn the contacts
Roxi: Sin has hurt too many people as it is! I... Maybe, I'm overreacting, but changing your appearance doesn't give you a licence to hurt people.
Keira: You're also right. But like I asked before. Just trust me.
Roxi: I will
Keira smiles as she takes the other contact out. She puts them in a small case and sits them down on the table.
Roxi: Much better.
Keira: Glad you approve. Now, care to help me dye my hair? I mean. I could go Super, but I don't want to cripple Diamond
Roxi: Sure
Keira smiles as the two get to work. A couple of hours later. Keira is seen with her hair now fully dyed jet black
Keira: Wow. This is how I look when I Was Sin? I thought it was her playing tricks with me.(edited)
Keira then turns to Roxi.
Keira: I look like I'm some sort of bitch
Roxi: You kinda were...
Keira: Oh, right.
Keira sighs
Keira: I'm sorry
Roxi: It was... a long time ago. And it wasn't your fault.
Keira: I know. But still.
Roxi: This is the reason I was worried about this... too many bad memories
Keira: I know. But this is something I have to do. As much as I hate this idea.
Roxi: If you insist
Keira: Once this is over. Have ready my usual hair dye. Then, take the contacts and burn them
Roxi: I will.
Keira: And whatever you do. Do not let Nate know about this
Roxi: You have my word.
Keira: Thank you, Roxi. Nate must never know the truth.
Roxi: I... I don't know, when he's older, he'll need to know. We agreed a long time ago no more secrets.
Keira: I know. But not til then. I don't want him hating his Mama.
Roxi: You're right. When he's ready.
Keira lowers her head, giving a heavy sigh
Roxi: What's wrong?
Keira: I don't know. The last few weeks.
Roxi: You and me both. I'm sorry if I.. brought you down with me.
Keira: You didn't. I'm bringing myself down cause I will feel bad for injuring someone as Keira.
Roxi: You need to stay sharp. Don't underestimate things.
Keira: I try not to. This is why I'm doing this. I sound like a broken record at this point, Rox.
Roxi: You just need to remember your ultimate goal.
Keira: The shot at the Bombshell World Title.
Roxi: And you can't let someone who isn't even a wrestler get the best of you.
Keira: Oh, I wasn't. Trust me. She's just like the women we used to fight. All talk, no bite.
Roxi: You need to expect her to pull something.
Keira: Part of the all talk, no bite. I do expect her to have every trick up her sleeve
Roxi: Just keep sharp. That's all I ask.
Keira: I will
Roxi: Good. Good.
Keira smiles as she holds Roxi as the scene fades.
--------------------------------------------
I-I felt it. This is how she felt. My hands around Diamond's neck, feeling the air escape from her lungs. It scares me. But to Sin, it's fuel.
Just a little while longer. Then, never again. I got to teach Diamond a lesson. I have to!
--------------------------------------------
Keira is seen arriving to the locker room. It was after the SCW show as she rushes to the mirror. She looks at the red dots she had for eyes as she sighs
Keira: I hate myself. I fucking hate myself
The phone in Keira's gear bag rings. She knows who's calling her.
Keira picks up the phone and sighs
Keira: Hey...
Roxi: Why?
Keira: Don't. I'm already beating myself up for it.
Roxi: I still think this is a bad idea.
Keira: It's just until High Stakes. Once it's over, have that contacts case ready for me.
Roxi: I don't want to look at you dressed like that for two weeks. Neither does Nate. The hair dye... fine, but those contacts... no.
Keira: I can take the contacts out anytime
Roxi: Good.
Keir: But I seriously hate myself for this. The look on Diamond's face. The fear in her eyes. The smile I made on my face.
Roxi: I saw
Keira: That fear. It....it scared me
Roxi: I knew this was a bad idea.
Keira: I'm sorry.
Roxi: Don't. Just make sure this isn't all for nothing.
Keira: It won't be. I promise. Diamond will get what's coming to her.
Roxi: Good.
Keira: You didn't have Nate watch tonight...did you?
Roxi: No. He's thinking you took a trip to see Jenny.
Keira: Ok, not the lie I would have came up with. But ok.
Keira slowly takes out the contacts and puts them in the case. She then puts them into her bag.
Keira: There, contacts out.
Keira turns back to the phone to show Roxi that the contacts out of her eyes
Keira: See?
Roxi: Much better. It wasn't pleasant seeing that face before.
Keira: I'm sorry, Roxi. But I should be home by tomorrow or in 5 minutes if you want me to transmit.
Roxi: Nate's asleep, so, you can come home whenever. I don't think he understands time just yet.
Keira: Ok, see you in a minute.
Keira hangs up the phone and grabs her bag with the contacts and her gear in it. She places two fingers onto her head and transmits. She appears a minute later at her home, beside Roxi as she turns and kisses her.
Roxi: Hi.
Keira: Hey
Keira smiles as she holds Roxi
Keira: Missed you
Roxi: I missed you too.
Keira: So, any baddies popping up while I was gone...or missing?
Roxi: No, nothing really happening.
Keira: That's where it's most dangerous. Especially with that monster on the loose.
Roxi: Nothing has come up. I think you really took a piece out of that Monster.
Keira: Yea. But I'm not letting my guard down, either.
Keira sighs a bit.
Keira: Sorry, ever since Nathaniel came from the future. Everything's turned upside down.
Roxi: I don't know what the future holds.
Keira: You're right about that. But, this is why we fight.
Keira leans in and kisses Roxi
Roxi: It is why we fight. But we don't go looking for a fight. Besides that thing could be anywhere...
Keira: Exactly.
Roxi: It does make me uneasy that that thing is out there. But... maybe you put enough of a hurting on it that we've got time.
Keira: Hopefully. Well, I got a couple of weeks to be ready. Wanna train?
Roxi: Sure... we both need to be ready.
Keira: Agreed.
As Keira begins to get ready, Roxi's communicator goes off
Keira: ......Now? Of all days?
Roxi: Evil doesn't take holidays... Go ahead Vision.
Vision: I heard that and I'm shocked to say this...Evil's taking a holiday. We got a baddie in GUILD HQ....
Keira: ....Ok? Why call us?
Vision: They need protection. They said that, "We don't want to be eaten!"
Roxi: We'll be right there.
Moments later, Keira and Roxi in costume arrives at the HQ. They go into the briefing room to see the top brass.
Keira: We got here as fast as we could
Captain Freedom: Lady Bedlam, Lady Kat. Sorry to call you on such short notice.
Roxi: What is going on?
: I can explain....
A chair is seen slowly turning, the person shows himself to be Hammer as Keira goes into defensive mode
Keira: YOU!?
