After her massive win at the last Clash show, Niobe has been riding on a high after that success. Flash forward to the present day and we see Niobe and her faithful friend sitting in the middle of a burger joint as the rain and thunder crashed outside of the window. The two raised their glasses and shared in a toast, probably to Niobe’s recent success and whatever else they could think of. A bright light from a bolt of lightning lit up the table they were sitting at before dying down. “I’m glad I was able to tag along with you for the time being. I needed a break from work anyway. Surprised I was able to snag the infamous ‘Living Nightmare’ for a girls trip.” ”Hey, I may be a newly crowned champ but I always have time to hang out with my bestie. Holiday rush at work again?” “Yeah, but nothing the rest of the team can’t handle. I just hope that when I get back nothing’s gone to shit.” ”Well here’s hoping that you don’t find the store burnt to the fucking ground. Cheers.” Niobe raised her glass briefly and then took a long swig of her drink, some local brewed ale, before letting out a sigh. “Thanks for the vote of confidence. If it happens, I blame you for all of it.” ”You’re welcome.” The tired but happy looking waitress appeared by their table, setting down the juicy lookin’ burgers in front of each of them, smiling and walking away to deal with whatever ridiculousness was going on in this place besides a couple nerds talking life and wrestling. “So some guy I ran into at the grocery store a while ago gave me his number and we’ve been talking ever since. Pretty decent dude, if I do say so myself.” ”Well that’s good. Your last boyfriend was a douchebag, no offense. Everyone could see that a mile away.” “Ugh, don’t remind me. I’m so glad I kicked his dusty ass to the curb. This new guy is okay, so far. I’ll let you meet him one of these days so you can catch the vibes from him, give me your honest opinion.” Nikki took a large bite of her spicy burger, chewing and fanning at her mouth before continuing. “Maybe I should tell him my bestie is a professional at kicking ass, and he’d better be careful around her.” Niobe peered over the edge of her burger at Nikki, glaring a bit before taking a bite, the taste of bacon and mayo following. ”Nah just tell him your friend is a champion and will break his legs if he breaks your heart.” “Hmm that might work. You did grab that gold after jumping on whatshisface after the lights came up. Like that was some awesome shit. Perfectly timed. Why didn’t you shout ‘bonzai’ when you jumped? That would have been great.” ”His name is Draugr, and no I didn’t think of that. Didn’t want to scare the psycho anymore than I already did. I give it to Jessie too. She pulled out all the fuckin’ stops in that, and dare I say came close to recapturing that title again.” “Shouldn’t you thank the person who shut the lights off?” ”No. I could have done without that stupid light show and that really weird sacrifice shit. Don’t know what he did to piss her off, but I don’t want to know. I just took advantage of everyone being distracted by the fancy shit. Surprised Jessie didn’t think of that. Oh well.” “Eh, you did good dear. People are gonna hate, theyre gonna talk, but let ‘em. Now let’s forget all that and enjoy these burgers.” The scene ended on the two quietly talking and eating their food. It comes back again to the next day, and the rain still coming down heavy. Niobe was taking shelter in a Barnes & Noble, reading some magazine on grilling recipes for the summer. She set her phone up against the tumbler she had brought, pressing a button to record. ”Sittin on top of the world with a title over my shoulder again feels good I tell ya. Real good. Toppling the mighty psycho Draugr and claiming that title was the best. In those dark moments as I climbed up to the top, I had one shot to do this right. I did, and I’m proud. But we’re here to talk about the now, and this tag match I’m thrown into with Sicko as my tag partner? Color me confused. I have no clue what I’m in for, or if we’re even gonna cooperate but if he holds up his end, we’re good. We have to, because Jessie and Jody are gonna be starin’ back at us with the intent to take our heads off. I have history with both, and I know what they’re capable of obviously but I have the sneaking suspicion that it’s gonna be the same song and dance I’ve heard before from them. Whatever it may be, we’ll be ready.” @jessie lee, jody madrox | YOU FEAR ME ![]() BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM ME |
