11/26/14, WWE NXT…
"We need something different, what are we doing wrong? The fans normally go crazy here!" Stephanie says, Hunter thinking… and nearby, he saw a small brunette assorting some of the paint.
Amanda was clearly lost in thought, having watched some of the videos of Finn during his time in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
'Could I pull it off?' Amanda thought, looking at the open sketchbook she kept with her and the drawing of white, black and silver angel wings, Angel Of Hell circled on top of the page… she turned around and nearly jumped out of her white lace skinny leg romper she was wearing, Hunter steadying her shaking form.
"Sorry about scaring you, kiddo." Hunter says, Stephanie seeing the drawing.
"Mandy, this is amazing… sweetheart, you might've just given us the best idea! Finn!" Stephanie says enthusiastically, shouting the last part which had sent Finn running to them.
"Is everything okay?!" Finn asks, him and Amanda hugging for a few seconds.
"Better than okay, remember how we were talking about bringing your Demon King persona to Tv?" Stephanie says, asking the last part and Finn nodding. "Well, we just found your Demon Mistress." She says, handing the sketchbook to Finn, who looked through the drawings and looked at Amanda.
"Mandy, you drew these? They're amazing, you're a hell of an artist." Finn says, a slight scarlet flush surfacing in Amanda's face as she smiled.
"So what do you say? You on board with us, Mandy?" Stephanie asks.
"Hell yeah, let's do it!" Amanda managed to say once she regained control of her voice.
Present time, WWE NXT Tapings (10/28/15, scheduled to air 11/4/15 & 11/11/15)…
"I think Joe took his Heel turn too seriously to start off… how you feeling, Mandy?" Finn says after the two friends helped each other backstage into their locker room.
But the second they walked in, both sprawled out onto the floor to try to let the cool marble soothe their sore bodies as Amanda readjusted her black lace skinny pants and Black Sabbath: Heaven And Hell racerback tank top.
"For a small woman who got punched... and kicked in the back and legs by our friend… not as bad as I thought." Amanda manages to say… but Finn knew that the petite 25 year old next to him was partly lying as she hadn't made any attempt to get off of the floor.
Then again, the 34 year old wasn't in the mood to do anything other than lie down next to her.
Amanda groaned slightly as she turned onto her right side, Finn putting his left arm around her.
"That really fucking hurt out there… I feel like Joe was trying to murder us." Amanda says quietly, attempting to curl her legs to herself like she normally did when hurting but let out a painful cry when moving them made her feel worse.
But something forced the two to sit up… or specifically, a sharp smacking sound and Joe shouting "Ow, damn it!"
"That went too far out there! What are you trying to do, murder them?!" A female voice unfamiliar to Finn and Amanda screamed.
"Liara, chill! It's all part of the show!" Another unfamiliar voice called out, this one male.
Amanda felt Finn's right arm lock around her to steady her shaky frame, both heading into the hallway to investigate the source of the commotion.
"The hell is going on out here?!" Finn asks, Joe, Liara and another person looking at them… but judging how close Liara and the other man were standing, they were either lovers or close friends.
"See what I mean Ty? They can barely walk!" Liara says.
"We're all sore from head to toe afterwards… these events get physical." Joe says, Liara glaring at him.
"You tossed her into the fucking barricade, she's half your damn size!" Liara yells, Finn holding onto Amanda when she tried to walk over and keep the fight from escalating.
"Yes I did and she still pulled herself up and ran into the ring… I got a bit too reckless but maybe it'll teach her not to cross lines that she shouldn't." Joe says.
Amanda turned a mix of hurt and angry at hearing that… and before she could stop herself, she stormed over and kicked her right foot up between Joe's legs, Joe groaning as he fell and Finn running over and pulling Amanda back to him.
"A decade of friendship and you flush it by saying that, Joe?! What the hell's gotten into you?!" Amanda hissed through gritted teeth as tears streamed down her face, Finn's hands resting on the part of her where her waist and hips connect as Joe pulled himself up.
"You changed when he walked into your life." Joe said through the pain.
"She started to heal. She's been kicked down too many times, I steadied her back onto her feet and onto stable ground, Joe!" Finn says, pulling Amanda to him and keeping his arms around her as she didn't want anyone to see her cry.
"All you did was make her your slut just like Randy made her his mistress 9 years ago! She's no better now than she was then!" Joe yells, Finn tackling him to the ground after letting go of Amanda.
The fight escalated and ended with Finn throwing Joe through the table in catering as Amanda, Ty and Liara chasing after them.
Finn was about to strangle Joe but felt Amanda's hands on him and looked at her, the silence meaning "Don't kill him!", Finn turning back to Joe.
"She's no slut, Joe! Get up and fuck off!" Finn growled, Joe pulling himself up and leaving and Finn pulling Amanda into his arms, the two embracing each other.
"That could've gone horribly wrong." Ty says quietly, Liara nodding.
"You were gonna kill him…" Amanda whispered.
"He almost killed you out there…" Finn whispered, brushing Amanda's tears away.
The two headed away from the area, Liara and Ty following.
