Nighttime had fallen in Chicago, as Niobe skipped across the grounds of Maggie Daley Park clutching her newly won AW Television Title to her chest as if it was a precious thing that everyone was after and she had to protect it from the other people out there wanting to take it. She hummed softly to herself, a strange smile on her face, one that didn’t look right at all on her. Her eyes were splashed with dark purple eyeshadow, giving her a rather haunted look along with the black t-shirt with the iconic image of Freddy Krueger on it and ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ splashed across it to look like claw marks. She saw the rising mountain of silver that was part of the attraction there, with its handholds and ropes attached.
The climbing wall which would typically have children climbing all over it was silent and quiet, which was perfect because then she could sit under the small ‘arch’ right in the middle, talk to her newly won title, and snack on the m&m’s she had brought with her. These would fuel this outing and satisfy the hunger for now.
For now…
She threw some m&m’s in her mouth, then pulled the title into her lap and held onto it, smiling still at her reflection that appeared in the reflection of the metal. A finger ran over the reflection of her face, before she booped the ‘nose’ of herself and giggled.
“Finally, after all this time, I’ve got you. It only took, what, two years to get my fingertips on this. You were quite the elusive little thing to find. It’s not nice to hide and not say anything, isn’t it?”
Niobe looked up, staring into the camera with her head tilted slightly as if waiting for an answer. All she got was a random dog whining as it wandered over and into frame with her. The light from a nearby lamp reflected off the white fur and black spots all over before it curled up by her side, simply glad for another warm thing to be by. Niobe frowned sadly and patted its head softly, deciding to speak to it instead.
“Right, it wasn’t nice at all. I wasn’t looking hard enough, I wasn’t doing everything right to find it and all of these people out here were just going on and on. Blah, blah, blah. It was so annoying.”
She rolled her eyes and tilted her head again, drifting off into her own world for a little while…

Directly after Clash last week…
Niobe burst through the curtains of gorilla position, clutching onto her newly won title like it was a lifeboat. She felt sore in more places than she could count and all she wanted to do was soak in the bath with the music playing. The sounds of clapping and cheering from some of the backstage staff that were there watching interrupted her pain as she glanced up and smiled despite the pain, accepting hugs from those who were there and words of congrats as she drunk it all in.
She held back, nodding her head as she slowly stumbled back to her locker room, opening the door and walking in. She walked over to her duffel bag and pulled out her cellphone, quickly opening her contacts and pushing one particular number, placing it on speaker as she slumped to the floor on her knees.
The line clicked and a female’s voice answered.
“Hello dear. Didn’t think I would hear from you tonight. I know you had your show to be at. How was it?”
The floodgates opened and she began to sob.
“Guess what I did ma…”

Niobe bit her lip, sniffing a bit as she tossed a few more pieces of candy into her mouth. The dog at her side placed its head on her knee, glancing up at her in its own sense of worry. She smiled and scratched its head, trying to reassure it that she was fine as she continued her story.
“To think it was a superkick that caused me to land on Driller. I should send Lexi and Taylor a big ol’ thank you basket for giving me the win and the title. Thanks ladies! You’re so sweet sacrificing yourselves to do this? I promise you’ll get what you…deserve.”
Niobe glanced at the camera, her face falling into a stone cold stare, eyes flashing.
“Then I find out after I had a chance to decompress, that Jacob fucking Koenig decided to clobber me and scream that he was coming after my title…at some point. He’s awfully brave for doing that, but so fucking stupid if he thinks he’s gonna take this away from me. I will decide when that time happens. Not HIM.
I have to deal with Raja first. Dear ol’ Raja, how ya doin buddy? Not so good are you. I’m sorry.”
She pauses, then cackles loudly finding his situation rather humorous.
“No I’m not! Because I know this is gonna take very little time to break you and continue on my merry way with this belt of mine. Cause it is mine, and you and your little self isn’t gonna do a fucking thing to snatch this away from me. I will do the entire AW universe a favor and snap you in half, making sure you never come back.”
