Seleana Zdunich nods to her sister, Zenna Zdunich, and Alex “Bullet” Carbajal as the two women walk towards her. Both had been forced to evacuate from New Orleans before Hurricane Ida made landfall. Many of Seleana’s family had flown up with the Shieldmaidens MC, of which Bullet serves as President in the New Orleans Charter.
Seleana Zdunich: Things are good, ja?
Zenna shrugs as she walks over.
Zenna Zdunich: As good as they can, ja.
Bullet shrugs.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: We are alive, the alternative would be considerably worse.
Seleana nods, smiling as Zenna and Bullet get right.
Seleana Zdunich: You are better then?
Zenna nods to her sister.
Zenna Zdunich: Ja, if we had a company that would allow us to work as a team again, I would be ready to make my return. But with SRW’s current policy and Hybrid, WWA and WWR being closed…
Seleana nods sadly.
Seleana Zdunich: Ja, I would be keen.
Zenna Zdunich: Jävla Covenant!
Bullet nods understandingly.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: We ended them.
Seleana and Zenna both nod gratefully.
Seleana Zdunich: Ja, Halo kept us knowing. We watched as you fought them and we are grateful, ja?
Zenna nods.
Zenna Zdunich: You did well by us.
Bullet bows her head respectfully.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: It was the least we could, especially after Jackson.
Zenna nods again.
Zenna Zdunich: Ja, thank you for your help with Jenni. She is not doing well.
Seleana frowns hard.
Seleana Zdunich: How bad is it?
Zenna sighs heavily.
Zenna Zdunich: They were together for almost ten years’ time. It is cutting her deeply, she is absolutely gutted. I am surprised she has not taken to self-medicating yet.
Bullet nods her agreement.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: As am I. She seemed on the verge before family stepped in to stop it.
Seleana shakes her head and then nods towards the door of the building.
Seleana Zdunich: Come, we should not continue outside with private business.
Zenna and Bullet nod and follow her inside the apartment.
Seleana Zdunich: This has served us well. Christina got it when she started working at the casino and we were able to share it when necessary with Aurora for her treatment. Now Freja’s girlfriend lives here in the building as well and it is awesome having her around. Sofia and Brayden live nearby as well…
As they walk inside, ten-year-old Aurora is seen tapping her foot, obviously waiting for them to come back inside.
Aurora Zdunich: Took you long enough, Mommy!
Seleana smiles, Zenna and Bullet both doing the same behind her.
Seleana Zdunich: Ja, we were talking some.
Aurora nods and walks right up to Bullet.
Aurora Zdunich: You were mean to my Mommy!
Bullet nods to her.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: I cannot deny this, Pequeña. Things get said when matches are set to happen.
Aurora nods, looking up at Bullet.
Aurora Zdunich: You sound like Sofia…
Bullet smiles.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: I am from Colombia as well.
Aurora frowns.
Aurora Zdunich: You are?
Bullet nods.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: Si.
Aurora Zdunich: Where?
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: Medellín.
Aurora just looks at her.
Aurora Zdunich: Is that near Bogota?
Bullet smiles.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: It is the same country but many hours apart.
Aurora Zdunich: How many?
Bullet shrugs.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: It depends on which road you take. One way it is eight. Another is nine. The third is closer to ten.
Aurora’s eyes go wide.
Aurora Zdunich: That’s far!
Bullet nods.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: It is.
Suddenly a voice comes from the other side of the room.
Voice: ¡Prima!
Bullet can't help but smile as everyone turns to see Sofia Rojas-Hilton standing there.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: ¿Quiubo, Parce?
Seleana grins in kind.
Seleana Zdunich: I love having family here so much!
The women walk in and sit down together on the couch to talk while Aurora sits herself down to play one of her games.

Parking Lot
Zdunich Residence
Las Vegas, Nevada
7:00 PM PDT
The camera opens upon Seleana Zdunich standing in a now familiar parking lot as she looks out at the famous Las Vegas Strip.
Seleana Zdunich: It never gets old, looking out at the lights. It is too awesome!
She nods and turns to face the camera.
Seleana Zdunich: Next week, we will be in Alaska for Violent Conduct VII and I look at Bea Barnhart and wonder…
Nodding to herself, she glances back to the lights and just takes them in. She takes the sights in for what seems like years and then turns back to the camera.
Seleana Zdunich: I wonder why we are fighting aside from we have never crossed paths before…
As she pauses, she waves her hand dismissively.
Seleana Zdunich: I suppose it does not matter why we are paired off apart from it is what has been placed before both of us and now we must deal with this as it comes.
Seleana sighs, looking down to the ground and kicking at something on the pavement. She gives whatever it is a good brisk swat with her shoe and then returns her gaze to the camera once again. .
Seleana Zdunich: Bea, I have never understood you at all when it comes to how you do things. You act as if nothing should be held against you and then commit acts that guarantee the opposite. You talk out both sides of your mouth, making hens out of feathers like and taking water over your head before whining about being wet.
She nods pointedly to the camera.
Seleana Zdunich: That is no one’s fault but yours and I know the irony of me saying that when I am married to someone that many others have said the same about and to for years.
A hand raises and Seleana shakes her head.
Seleana Zdunich: However, this is not about Christina, it is about you. Christina can at least do things on her own. She does not constantly depend on someone else for things to happen. She can be the engine that drives the vehicle while you…
A look of disgust washes over her face.
Seleana Zdunich: You seem to almost revel in allowing Bill to drive whatever you do, including when it should have nothing to do with him.
Shaking her head, Seleana’s disgust only grows.
Seleana Zdunich: I have spent years here attempting to throw off the idea that I am nothing without my wife and that I am nothing if she is not the point of things but you…
She wags a finger at the camera as if Bea is standing right in front of her.
Seleana Zdunich: You all but prance about with it as a badge upon your shirt, like you honestly believe that you can do anything you want and if it goes bad, you can use Bill as a shield to deflect criticism away from yourself because it really was his idea on some level.
Looking as if she wants to vomit, Seleana turns away to the right.
Seleana Zdunich: How awesome for you, ja?
Seleana’s head snaps back to glare into the camera like it was on a string that suddenly was yanked by somebody off camera.
Seleana Zdunich: If nothing else, this would mean I should wish to see you knocked down. I should be excited to compete against another who has a championship pedigree to her name and is as physically gifted as you are and yet…
The glare intensifies.
Seleana Zdunich: I am keen for this fight for an entirely different reason than simple competition. I am keen to knock the satisfaction out of you.
The shot zooms in closer on her.
Seleana Zdunich: No one should be as happy to not be their own person as you are! You could so easily set yourself up as something so much more and yet you cannot be bothered to put in the effort to get there. In the face of all that I have to do, in the face of all that my wife and my daughters-in-law have to do, I find this offensive and something to be rid from this world!
She nods pointedly.
Seleana Zdunich: I will enjoy beating the satisfaction out of you, Bea. I will enjoy seeing it leave you and I will enjoy watching you try to come up with an excuse that is not completely worthless!
The camera zooms back out as the glare becomes red hot.
Seleana Zdunich: Välkommen till djungeln! It is time for you to feel my claws!
