“Mhm, mhm, mhm.
You lookin’ a little cute… freshman.”
The hiss of the cigarette drag tears through the silence of the darkened room. He raises his neck up and releases the smoke, a sly smile spreading on his lips as it billows overhead.
“I watched what your daddy did to the boss-man last week, and if you’ve absorbed even an ounce of his talent, you’re gonna be one to watch. I want you to feel it. I want you to taste it. I want you to think that it’s all coming together for you, babygirl. That all of your training, and your lineage, and your hopes and dreams and aspirations are building to that high -”
He directs his attention to the lens of the camera.
“- to a rush you’ve never experienced. Hearing the crowd screaming, it’ll get you going in places that ain’t even been satisfied yet, huh? You’re so… young.”
A sadistic smile spreads across his lips.
“Girl, you’re a gamer, too? I know that follower list kept growing and growing and growing the minute you put Action Wrestling in your handle. I bet that notification bell didn’t stop ringing, and you had every boy salivating, waiting for you to drop that Twitch channel. That OnlyFans tease. Baby, you’re goin’ places, ain’t ‘ya?”
He removes his sunglasses. There is no soul in his eyes.
“This is your big debut. Daddy’s gon’ be watchin’ from the back. He’s gon’ be so proud of his little girl, and it won’t matter if you don’t live up to the hype and the expectations, ‘cause in his eyes, you ain’t ever gon’ do no wrong.”
His neck twitches, as if he’s being overcome with truths that are breaking through the transformation. Memories that he’d rather keep hidden when he’s not the Dark Kent.
“Don’t ever lose that hope. That naivety. That innocence. Because all of that is goin’a take ‘ya as far as you wanna go -”
“- that is…”
“...unless -”
“Someone steps in your way.”
The overhead light flickers.
“Someone pulls you back down -”
It pulses like a strobelight.
“-and you’re swallowed into the Dark.”
You lookin’ a little cute… freshman.”

Kenny Carruth stands in his bedroom, waving at the camera.
“Hi Serenity! Welcome to Action Wrestling! I’m really happy you’re going to be joining me in the ring! We are going to have so much fun, I promise! I heard you like to play video games, and I do, too! My favorite is Mario Kart. I am really good on the N64 - I asked daddy if he would buy me a newer system but he told me no and I don’t know why - I’m a really good kid! Just like you!
I really hope we can be friends after this, I know sometimes people get angry at each other after they wrestle in the ring - sometimes that fun just turns into mean violence, but I really hope that doesn’t happen with us! You seem really nice and sweet and pretty and I would really hate it so much if you don’t like me after this. I really hope I can join Twitter one day and we can be friends online, too!
I have thirty minutes of internet time every day before supper and I spent all of it yesterday watching your training videos! They were so cool! I hope you can teach me some moves one day because I promise you I have no idea how you do some of those things you do! It’s really cool - did your daddy teach you them? He seems like a really cool person but I don’t like it when he cusses.
Anyway I am really looking forward to meeting you and I hope the fans really love the match! I want to be the first person to buy your t-shirt so I will see if my dad will lend me 35 dollars.”
“I ain’t lending you shit.”
“I gotta go. Bye!”
