(Vespertine sits on a park bench in Rockaway Point park, overlooking the San Francsico Bay entrance, overlooking the Golden Gate bridge. She sits in solitude in full sunlight. She doesn't talk as much as her thoughts are about recent events.)
I feel empty. Hollow. Sad. I feel as if a part of me has been ripped out and taken away. My soul was given back and my dark powers were stripped. I can no longer portal. I can no longer disappate or disappear at will. I can.... no longer. I.... am... mortal. Again.
(She sighs)
This is all thanks to Jessie Lee. She needs to be taught a lesson. But am I the one who can give it to her? I fear not. My power is not there. We were damn near equal in that match. I made one mistake and she capitalized on it. There was no mistake, no one, of the weaker sex, can get up from a codebreaker like that.
(Changes subjects)
No! Don't focus on Jessie. Focus on Niobe, focus on Nash. They are your upcoming opponents. They are the ones you need to take down a notch. As above, so below. As before. So again. I stand at the bottom looking up, stand looking at the Gatekeepers to let me pass. Again, I need to defeat the Gatekeepers.
(Focuses hard on something in the distance but continues. A cargo vessel of some sort.)
I will not sit idly by while I get thrown by the wayside. I am better than that. I am a female ring warrior. I am the best at what I do. However empty I feel; the real me, the huntress needs to come out again and take down everyone in her path as like before. In the end, they will all feel death by diva. This.... I.... PROMISE!
(She gets off the bench, wraps her jacket tighter and walks off)

Scene 2
(Vespertine sits in a sports doctor's office just being called for her appointment to see how her body is holding up after years of extreme matches. She walks down the hall and gets into the doctor's office and they sit there talking. HOWEVER, their conversations is muted and as she strips down to a sports bra and panties so he can check her condition, what comes up in sound is that of her talking to her upcoming opponents at Clash as if she is writing a letter them.)
To Karlie Nash and Niobe Martin
You're "better" will be in the ring with you on Monday Night Clash. I say "better" because I have seen how the two of your wrestle and I'm not impressed. Ms. Nash isn't even on the same page and Martin isn't even in the same book. Do you think that even while I am down and struggling, that the two of you can step up to the plate and take me out? Chase tried twice. Madrox tried it while sober. Sitcom came close. And we don't count Lee or Odin. They aren't worth putting into any column. You... are gonna.... step up.... and take me.... out? I think not. Have you been watching? Have you been listening? Have you been doing your homework? Because what I've heard you say is that the last time you saw me do a promo was when I was training with Gail and Lucy.
Really? How long ago was that? So you chose to focus on my training with Gail and Luch instead of the upcoming match and what's coming and staring you in the face on Monday. Do you, Nash, realize what is coming your way? I know Niobe does. Doesn't matter really though because you are still in a dying cruiserweight division. A division no one wants around anymore. And don't think that you will be the hero and rescue it. It's not gonna happen.
See I was originally going to write this and tell you that respect is earned, never given. But seeing your promo, I realized, that isn't going to fly. You don't respect anyone and nobody respects Martin because of how low she is on the totem pole. So when respect is gone, the claws, the teeth, the threats, the blood and the fur start flying. I don't need to prove anything to you. I don't need to show you what I can do. If you missed it the first few times, woe be to you, that's on you. If you have been watching and learning, you will understand what is coming your way. The most dangerous female of them all. You will see me in the ring but you will never EVER see what I'm throwing your way. I'm not Jolee or Lee. I'm a different monster.
No Nash, there is no running from this. No hiding either. There is no promoing your way out of it or out of the hole you dug yourself into. My army is coming and I AM marching... to victory.... at your expense. You aren't even a stepping stone anymore. You have failed, Nash, and your failure is so obvious to everyone. Like mine, against Lee and Odin. But this isn't about me. This is about you and how badly you will fall. How big of a failure you are and how soundly you will be defeated at my hands. As for Niobe, she isn't even a factor in this match.
We both know that Martin is in this match but she isn't a threat. You are no threat to me but I seem to be a threat to you because in your promo you focused a lot more on Teo for whatever reason but I was the afterthought that came your way afterwards. Fine, what you don't know will hurt you. And Nash, on Monday, I WILL hurt you.
Yours, Vespertine
(She ends as she gets off the doctor's exam table and starts to dress. When she is done, she walks out the door.)
