Before Inception
San Diego Family Court
It had been a week since Child Protective Services came into Diamond Steele’s home and took away Juliet Steele-Warren. Kate Steele was an absolute wreck as she had been lost without her daughter. Today she knew she had no choice but to be strong. This was the day that she was going to stand in front of a judge and hopefully get her daughter back. Kate was clad in a business suit complete with heels. Her purple hair was dyed blonde in hopes to give a real professional look. Ruby wore a skirt and a blouse as she tried her best to smile at her older cousin.
“So today marks the day Kate… Are you ready?!”
Kate just shook her head with a sigh as some tears escaped her eyes.
“I guess… I am as ready as I am ever going to be… I still can’t believe that they took her away from me. Juliet is my entire world. I never failed her as a parent. I….”
Ruby just looks deeply into Kate’s eyes as she tries her best to keep her composure.
“Hey you don’t even have to think like that. Everybody knows that you are an amazing parent. All of this is bullshit and you can’t listen to what people are saying about you. More importantly than that this is just Teddy’s way of trying to dick you over! You can’t let him win. Not know and certainly not ever…”
Kate let’s some tears escape her eyes and she tries her best to wipe them. She gazes up and looks deeply into the eyes of her cousin.
“You do have a point Ruby. Why should I feel down?! I just need to go in front of this judge and really plead my case. I know all of this is a misunderstanding, and after they hear me out it won’t be long until Juliet as back at the house…”
Ruby smiles warmly.
“Exactly and that will be an image that is truly and completely OUTRAGEOUS! She deserves to be home with you. The way you treat her is unbelievable…”
Ruby makes Kate smile however another British could be heard in the distance and this is from yet another member of the Gem Stones. This one is from that of Ruby’s sibling Sapphire. The Manchester Maiden smirks as she is accompanied by her best friend Emerald.
“Exactly… You are a really good mum. You are one of the best that I know…”
Kate is taken back as she didn’t expect those type of words from perhaps her biggest rival. She crosses her arms looking deeply into Sapphire’s eyes.
“Phoebe… I honestly didn’t expect you to come… This is really a big shock to me…”
Sapphire walks over to Kate and places her hands on her shoulders as she gazes right into her eyes.
“Look I know the two of us may have had our share of problems in the past but our issues have always been music related. As far as I am concerned we are all in the band together. We are a family whether I wish to accept it or not. I have to respect you as being my sister’s older cousin but more important than that as housemates I just want you to know that I have your back.”
Kate grabs Sapphire as she hugs her as tightly as possible.
“Thank you so much Phoebe… I appreciate you being there…”
Sapphire rolls her eyes as she tries to push Kate away from her.
“Like I said I got your back. Hell Emerald and I both got your back, but don’t think for one second that this automatically makes us friends because we are far from being at that point. I just want for the right thing to be done and that is for Juliet to come back to Gem Stone manor. It is where she belongs and we all love that little girl…”
Diamond smirks at her band mates as they all seem to be surrounding her with endless love. However it doesn’t stop there. We can see a tall slender blonde woman walking in her direction and standing next to her is an eleven year old girl. Those two are none other than Seleana Zdunich and her daughter Aurora. Aurora smiles as she runs over to Kate and hugs her as tightly as possible.
“Miss Kate!!!!”
The little girl squeezes the life out of Kate as she looks up into her eyes. Kate is taken back as she looks over at Seleana.
“I honestly don’t understand…”
Seleana nods her head as she looks at Aurora.
“As you know Christina couldn’t be here today because she is sick with Covid however she wishes she could be here. The reason we are here is because Aurora wants to speak on your behalf Ja?! She wants to tell the family judge that you are a great mother and mention all of the wonderful things you do for Juliet…”
Kate lets some tears fall from her eyes as she looks at Aurora.
“Is that true?!”
“Yes… You are an awesome mom. Julie needs to return home so we can have more fun together. I miss her and she shouldn’t be with a stranger!”
Kate squeezes her tighter than before as more tears flow from her eyes. She tries her best to regain her composure as she speaks out to her.
“Thank you so much pumpkin. You don’t know how much this all means to me. I am sure with your help the judge will definitely give me my child back. This is all one big misunderstanding and I can’t wait until we get all of this straightened out so we can all hang out together again. I appreciate all of you. I know I can be a bit much or over the top but this is serious stuff. In my time of true need you all are there and I won’t ever forget this. I will meet all of you inside. I just want to use the restroom before we have to go to court…”
Ruby smirks as she looks back at her cousin.
“No problem… We will be waiting for you. You totes got this Kate. Today Juliet returns home with us…”
With that all of the Gem Stones along with the Zdunichs make their way inside the courtroom. Kate on the other hand begins to head towards the direction of the bathroom. As soon as she is about to walk inside something catches her attention. It is the figure who is coming out of the men’s bathroom. It is none other than her former husband Todd “Teddy” Warren. He cracks a wicked grin as he looks at his ex-wife.
“Well if it isn’t my ex-wife. Long time no see… If I can be completely honest you look like complete shit…”
Kate backs up a few feet as she shakes her head in disgust. She takes a long deep breath as this is one interaction that she just wasn’t expecting.
“Kiss my arse you home wrecking. How is the unfaithful life treating you?! You catch a STD yet from putting your dick into random things?!”
Teddy laughs as she smiles in return and it is at that moment that the door to the women’s restroom opens up. Exiting the restroom is none other than Kristina Brodie Teddy’s former fiancée and the person that he cheating on Kate with. Kristina’s belly is bulging outwards as Teddy just cracks a wicked grin in return.
“Considering I am a one woman man and this woman is going to give me the one thing that you never wanted to give me. I would say is going absolutely well. As a matter of fact it couldn’t be any better than it is right now…”
Kristina walks over to Teddy and the two begin to make out with one another right in front of Kate. Kate is absolutely disgusted as she turns her nose up to the two as she replies back.
“I don’t even know why you have to talk like that. You should be happy with the fact that we adopted a little girl six years ago. She changed our entire world but you always were caught up in trying to create a legacy of Warren lineage. It really isn’t as important as you think it is. You should have been just as happy giving a little girl a loving with two parents who love her dearly…”
Teddy just shakes her head and snickers.
“It is a big difference. Don’t get me wrong I love Juliet more than life itself. However what I didn’t appreciate is the fact that we could have created a child together. You never once could ever step out of your ego to do something for our family. You always said no because you were afraid it would have taken you out of the wrestling world for a year. That is selfish. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the one’s you love. Since you weren’t giving me what I wanted that is when I found somebody that would. Now look at me… I get what I want…”
Teddy laughs and speaks some more.
“And also in the process I am going to completely ruin your life as well. Why do you think you are at the court in the first place?! It’s because I am the one that called CPS on you. I am the one that had Juliet removed from out of the home. Today I plan to put the final nail in the coffin. Not only will you not be getting Juliet back but I am going to make sure that I gain custody of Juliet so that she can live with Kristina and I. It IS what would be best for her…”
Teddy laughs right in her face but Kate can’t help herself as she launches herself at Teddy. She begins to pound him out with lefts and rights to his face. It isn’t long before Court Officers begin to storm the area and they begin to restrain her. They put her in handcuffs. Teddy smiles as he and Kristina walk inside the court room as Kate is left pinned against the floor. It is a rough situation for Kate Steele as she finally gets brought into the court room about an hour later. Court is already in session as the court officers bring her to the front. The judge looks daggers into Kate as she is forced to take her step.
“It is so nice that you could finally join us Kath-Lyn. Picking fights outside of the courtroom isn’t going to do you any favors.”
Kate tries her best to plead as she looks at the judge.
“You don’t understand your honor. I just lost my cool. I just saw him with her and I didn’t know how to react…”
The judge just shakes her head.
“Right… And I already got to hear the people speaking on your behalf. I know you had Ms. Zdunich speak on your behalf but for some reason I think you coerced that little girl into saying nice things about you. Mr. Warren tells me that you recently were arrested on television by showing up to an event that you weren’t invited too…”
Kate rolls her eyes.
“Listen your honor, my former husband is full of shit. I know sometimes I can act a bit unstable but you need to understand that I am a professional wrestler. Diamond is a stage name. It is part of a character I portray when I am touring with my band or when I step into the ring. That is simply me on stage. It is not who I represent out of the ring or my ability to be a mother. Aurora spoke nothing but the truth about me and…”
The judge shakes her head as she looks back at Kate.
“I still find that hard to believe. If she was your big plan to get back your daughter you honestly came unprepared. Mr. Warren has presented us with document after document of why you shouldn’t gain custody of Juliet Steele-Warren. I have paper work of you trying to commit suicide on three different occasions, and the hospitalization documentation of when you were checked into a psychiatric ward. How do you explain that?!”
Diamond is quiet as she slinks into her seat.
“That was a long time ago… I was very young and…”
“I honestly don’t want to hear it. Not to mention that but during the course of your marriage you would go out and about with your, what are they called “Gem Stones” and you would consistently come home during the late hours of the night and sometimes a few days later. While all of this was going on Mr. Warren would be the one taking care of Juliet. There are numerous documents stating this. Care to elaborate and explain yourself?!”
Kate just sighs.
“I… That is all true your honor…”
“On top of that you can’t even be civil enough to come to a simple family court case. You just had to lose your cool and place your hands on Mr. Warren. I have already my decision Ms. Kath-Lyn Elizabeth Steele and you aren’t going to like my determination…”
Kate looks on as she is silent.
“Ms. Steele you are honestly unfit to be a parent. You are completely unstable and you need some psychological help. Juliet cannot be in a household where her mother is too busy doing God knows what with these women you call friends. You need to really take a long glance at your life. However for now I have no choice but to give Mr. Warren full custody of Juliet…”
Kate’s eyes open wide up as she screams out at the top of her lungs.
“BOLLOCKS!!!! You are going to give that womanizing piece of shit custody of MY DAUGHTER?!”
“Ms. Steele please sit down! On top of that I am placing a restraining order on you as well. You are not allowed to be within the vicinity of Mr. Warren or Juliet Steele-Warren.”
At this point Ruby stands up as she screams at the top of her lungs.
“OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!”
The judge shakes her head as she motions to the court officers.
“Court officers please settle these women down…”
Kate however is furious as she turns her attention over to Teddy and she sprints towards him. She spears him to the ground and once again begins to beat the hell out of him as he just laughs. Ruby tries to make a move as well but the officers quickly swarm in. They don’t hesitate to put the cuffs on both women as Kate screams at them.
“I WANT MY FUCKING DAUGHTER… LET ME SEE MY FUCKING DAUGHTER…”
Is all Kate can say as Ruby and her are escorted out of the courtroom in handcuffs. This is not how she had wanted for things to go…
Bloody fucking hell…
Isn’t it funny how the world works at times?! You know it definitely is something that really makes you think about things. However let me make it known that yours truly has been nothing but a true shining star ever since she has decided to return to the roster on a full time basis. I am the sparkling sensation; I am the Diamond in the Rough. I am just flat out amazing. You want to know why?! It’s because my record since being back on the roster has been completely flawless.
This entire journey started with me beating the unholy hell out of Krystal Wolfe. Even though she will have you say that it was a fluke and begin to cry like a stupid wanker I turned around and beat the snot out of Jessie Salco shortly after that. Now things are getting clearer as they come into focus. It won’t be that long until I finally get what I want. I will get my shot at the Roulette Championship and there isn’t a damn thing that anybody can do to stop it.
Now it seems like SCW has decided to put yet another foe in my path and this match actually has my heart torn. In front of me is a woman that I actually admire a bit. It’s a woman who is co-owner of the recording studio that the Gem Stones and I are signed too. I have the pleasure of stepping into the ring with Seleana Zdunich.
How is it going Seleana?!
From the bottom of my heart can I just say that I love you?! Honestly the fact that we are booked against one another is truly… truly outrageous. I don’t mean to say that as a pun but I say that in the sense that I actually have a lot of respect for you as a person. You are perhaps one of the sweetest people on the roster. You are the mother of my daughter’s best friend and words cannot say how much I appreciate you being there to take Juliet and Aurora to the zoo, and doing all of these fun things that I sometimes don’t have the time to do.
That in itself is a great thing. Despite how much I think you are amazing the fact of the matter is that the two of us will be forced to step into the ring with one another. You won’t be stepping into the ring with Kate Steele who you get to see outside of the ring. You are going to be inside the ring with one of the most dangerous women in this entire sport. You will be in the ring with a woman who is hell bent to do whatever it takes to get her hands on the Roulette Championship and you can bet your bottom dollar that I will take whatever shortcuts I can to get what I want.
As a person you are what everybody wishes they can be. You are a pure sweetheart. You are a strong mother, and a wonderful wife. You are committed and always wish to see the best in people. However this business isn’t about kissing babies, and shaking hands. It’s not winning the sportsmanship award. This is about being the best fucking wrestler in the world and when it comes to that you truly have fell off the mark.
What the fuck has happened to you Seleana?!
At one point you actually were building yourself up to be a big deal. You were the little engine that could and you came into this company with the promise that you and your wife could be these Hollywood Angels who could take over wrestling together. That sounds good on paper but doesn’t that mean your wife was full of shit the entire time?!
I mean let’s be real here… How in the bloody hell does it make sense for you to make these empty promises when the tag team championships were dissolved by then?!
To be honest as much as your initial basis for coming to SCW I highly doubt that Crystal would have ever really jumped at the thought of rushing into a tag team. Hell even today she is about to step into the ring with her son and challenge for the Mixed Tag Team Championships and that doesn’t even seem to be that important to her so what would have made you any different?!
It doesn’t and the reason I can say that confidently is the fact that she had a major impact on bringing me into this sport. She helped trained me. Hell the moment she saw you as a threat is the very moment that she stabbed you in the back.
Was it really worth it?! I don’t know… Is hurting a love one ever really worth it in the end?!
If you look at Judas he betrayed Jesus and for what exactly thirty pieces of silver?! All it got him was committing suicide in the end. Thanos betrayed his own daughter Gamora and in the end it just led to the Avengers rallying to eventually take him out. So was it really worth it all?!
You tell me Seleana?!
Every single week it seems that your name gets tarnished into the mud because over the woman that you are fucking. She is making you look bad in so many ways. Whether it’s by running away from home or being over the top it just comes back to haunt you in the end!
I know your entire ordeal is that you aren’t your wife. You are Seleana and you don’t want to be attached to her when it comes to your professional life but I find that to be completely full of shit when she is the only reason why you are successful.
After all she is the one that gift wrapped you that World title when she got involved and she screwed Alicia Lukas over. On top of that you did eventually go on to win the Roulette Championship but that’s because Crystal used her Queen For A Day powers to gift wrap you a championship match.
Of course in both of these instances you managed to show up and show out, but that’s only because Crystal was there to basically bail you out. Without your wife to hold your hand what have you honestly done?!
The fact is you haven’t done anything. You have been mediocre, you have dwelled in irrelevancy, and you just haven’t gotten shit done. Nobody expects you to really accomplish anything without Crystal. Deep down you know you can’t accomplish anything either.
I guess I should applaud you though because at Inception you actually managed to showcase that you could hack it. You showcased you had some talent and are the number one contender for the Internet Championship. That is a good thing but are you really good enough to fight somebody who owned your wife over and over, and over again?!
I doubt it… You aren’t ready for Andrea and she is going to beat the unholy hell out of you. I am not saying that to get on your nerves. I am saying that because it’s pure facts. You just aren’t that good, and you haven’t really improved to where you need to be either.
Don’t worry though because Climax Control will be your lucky day. You will be stepping into the ring with me and I am going to embarrass you in ways you just couldn’t imagine. I am going to tap you out, and I am going to showcase to the world why Keira Fisher doesn’t stand a chance when she steps into the ring with me.
As a matter of fact maybe another message could be sent. How would it look if the Roulette Contender just beats the Internet contender?! Maybe SCW should just proclaim me the Roulette Internet Contender just so I could take the titles off of both Keira and Andrea. It definitely would be better for ratings, and I know more people would believe in me standing a better chance than they do with you.
After all I am a pioneer in this business and people know that whenever I get my hands on something I end up going on to hold it for a very long time. I did it with the Roulette Championship, I did it with the Internet Championship, and it’s only a matter of time before I do it with the Roulette Championship again.
Make no mistake about it. This is just a small bump in the road towards my true path of achieving what I really want. I will become a World Champion one day. I will be a Grand Slam Champion. My name will be in the Hall of Fame and people will come to respect me whether they want to or not.
Can the same be said for you?! What type of legacy will you establish for yourself?! Will you actually manage to do something or will you forever be your wife’s bitch?!
Only you can answer that… What I do know is come Climax Control my streak continues. I will send a message to Keira and you will be an afterthought. Fisher I hope you are watching because I want you to get a good look at Seleana because that is what is in your future.
Cheers and best of luck. You certainly will need it…
