New chapter :D I own Lena, and her family - not Justin, unfortunately .
Lena woke up the next morning, to hear Wade's purring, announcing he was asleep, and still with her. She frowned…had she just been dreaming all that?
A touch to her cheek confirmed it had been real. A patch was rested there, covering the self inflicted attack on her face. She looked around for Wade, smiling when she found him. Somehow, the doctors had convinced him to move out from behind her, and into a chair at least. They obviously hadn't had any luck getting him to leave her side, though.
His head was rested on her bed, right near her legs. She carefully moved them away from his head, so she wouldn't kick him when he woke up.
A doctor walked into the room, Justin right beside him, and Lena signalled for them to be quiet, pointing down to Wade's sleeping figure.
Justin chuckled. He had to agree with one of Lena's statements from a few months ago at the current time - Wade looked a hell of a lot like a cat, and sounded like one more. Justin leant down and shook Wade awake.
"Hey. Up-sa-daisies, big man." Justin said, grinning at the confused English man, as he sat up blearily, rubbing his eyes. Even the doctor seemed mildly amused at Wade's reluctance. Lena pressed a hand to Wade's cheek, and he looked up at her, eyes carefully finding the patch on her face.
They hadn't wanted to stitch up the wounds on her face, so they'd cleaned them and dressed them instead. Maybe they hadn't needed stitching…He couldn't remember. Things were hazy after he found Lena by their van. He sat up and flinched.
"Back didn't like tha'." He muttered and Lena chuckled. "Lean the other way, Wade." She reminded him, and Wade obeyed her, flinching slightly. Lena wrapped her arms around her midriff, grinning at her doctor, who was checking her over.
"So, doc, can I go?" She asked him, and he frowned as he checked her wrists. They hadn't bled over night, it appeared…Lena waited for his word.
"I…guess." He said, frowning. Lena made a face at him.
"That's not very convincing - What's up?" She asked him, curious.
"I just prefer to keep people in your situation in a little longer."
"I've been in here all night, and nothing's happened." Lena said, frowning at him. "I've done this before, doc, and I've taken care of it for ages. I promise - I'll be alright." She promised, as Wade took her hand softly, finished stretching.
"I'm letting you out, but I'm not…particularly thrilled about it." He told her. Lena giggled cheerfully, as he left the room. "Where's Heath?" Lena asked Justin, who frowned. "I don't know. I couldn't tell you…He was still asleep when we left…We stayed in the van last night." He admitted to Lena, who frowned.
"So he's still o…"
"Is she alright to leave?" Heath asked, yawning. He had a cup of coffee with him. Justin laughed and pressed a kiss to Heath's forehead. "Yep…How was your sleep?"
"Better than in the hotel room." Heath admitted, and Lena chuckled at him. Wade smiled, fingers entwining with Lena's. "Oh, by the way…" Heath tossed what appeared to be a skirt, leggings, t-shirt, and a hoodie right at Lena, who missed most of them. "Figure you'd want something to change into." He told her, and she smirked, before frowning down at the clothes. Where had they gotten them?
"Nattie told us everything while you were out." Justin explained to her. Lena lowered her head a little bit, and Wade petted her back.
"Sorry." She said quietly, and Heath shrugged it off. "Don't worry about it. We've got your things in the back, and we checked out for you."
"How…how'd you do that?"
"…paid the woman at the desk off."
"Huh. Well done, your sneakiness is yet to fail me." She teased, while Heath frowned. "I'm hungry." He murmured absently. Lena nodded. "Me too…" She said, and Wade chuckled at the two of them. "You're both idiots…Come on, Lena, you change, Heath, go get the van warmed up, and Justin you go sign 'er outta 'ere." Wade instructed.
"Yes sir!" Lena mocked, even saluting him as she took hold of her clothes and slid into her bathroom. Heath left the room, followed on his tail by Justin, who was laughing about something or other. When Lena came back out, she was fully dressed, and a little clumsy. She went crashing into Wade, who chortled at her, putting his arms around her waist.
"Remind me - up is this way." She said, standing up on her toes to kiss him.
Wade smiled at her, as she rested against him. "Up is this way." He told her, stroking her back soothingly. She smiled contently, and he put his lips to the top of her head. "My Lena." He said softly. She grinned at him, linking their fingers together.
"My Wade." She said, cuddling him close to her. He kissed her gently, letting his fingers run down the patch at the side of her face, before down her neck. His fingers found a silver chain.
Curiously, he pulled it out of her shirt and smiled. She still had the little pendant. He was touched that she'd even kept it. She darkened softly.
"There's something for you in one of my bags." She told him, as Justin came back to tell her she was allowed out. She hopped off the bed, checked around it to make sure she hadn't missed anything, and followed Wade and Justin out to Heath, who had a big smile for her.
"You have a lot of people worried about you." He informed her, and she gave him a curious look.
"Like who?"
"Drew, Cody, Alex and Mike, Paul and Glenn, Hunter, Nattie, Tamina, Dalip, Jerry and Josh, Adam, Santino and Kozlov, Cena and Orton, Hannigan, Phil…"
"…wow." Was all Lena could say. Wade chuckled at her, as she reached over the back seat, feeling around for her bags. She found the right one, and pulled a much smaller bag out of it, something Wade recognised as her safe-keeps bag. She pulled it open, frowning to herself, as she rummaged through it.
Wade could see a number of odd things in there, including what appeared to be a full rose quartz crystal, and a torn piece of paper, out of a book of some sorts, written in Cyrillic.
When she reached the bottom, he caught a glimpse of a photo, of the four of them all together. Cody had been taking some shots for them, and the website. They were at the beach that day…He remembered, because Lena had said the water was freezing cold, and she wasn't going in any further than her knee's…
When she got that far, however, Heath had pushed her into the water, resulting in a four man splash contest. That was the photo at the bottom of Lena's keepsakes bag. She fiddled with one of the zips at the side and eased a box out of it, before putting everything back inside.
She offered out the box to him. "Your amethyst." She told him, and he couldn't help but smile. She hadn't forgotten about that yet, had she? He fingered the box for a little while, before carefully pulling it open, and taking the ring out. The ring itself was silver, and knotted at the front. In the midst of the knot was a heart shaped amethyst. Inside the ring, small letters were engraved.
I Love You
He smiled at it and slid it on. He'd need a chain for it though…he lost things on his hands way too easily. He cuddled her close to him and murmured in her ear. "I love you too." He promised her, brushing the top of her head. She relaxed into his arms, and they stayed like that until they reached the hotel.
There was practically a small army out the front of the hotel waiting, and Lena lowered her head, as if to hide herself from soon as Wade coaxed her out of the car, with magic words like 'real food' and 'friends', Alex and Mike ran over, flinging their arms around her.
"Don't you dare do that again." Mike warned her, and Lena nodded, as Alex messed up her hair. "Ever, or we'll kill you ourselves!"
"That's a little extreme Lexie!"
"I don't care!" Lena laughed and cuddled them, before jogging over to Cody and Adam, who were eagerly waiting. Cody had her wrapped in his arms within an instant.
From higher up in the hotel, Vince was watching the scene below him with raised eyebrows, while Stephanie stood beside him, a smug grin on her face.
"Dad, she belongs here. It's her home now." Stephanie told him, leaving the room to go inform Lena of the idea her and her father had agreed on.
Vince continued to watch, as Lena was passed around the numerous people, getting hugs, and friendly words, and frowned a little. He'd want to see her later, warn her of a few things, but he'd leave it for now. She was happy at the moment, so he would leave it be.
Lena laughed as she finally made it back to Wade, Cody, Heath and Justin. Cody had a camera in his hands, which confused Lena.
"Reunion photos." He teased her, and she pushed him gently. Wade put his arm around her, tickling her side a little bit. She playfully smacked at his hand, and he faked annoyance. Lena giggled at him and jumped up on him, wrapping her legs around his back, arms around his neck.
Wade used his own arms to support her, chuckling. She rested her forehead against his, and she let one hand fall to his chest, caressing the spot where his heart was.
"Mine." She whispered to him, closing her eyes. Wade nodded his agreement, smiling softy to her, like they were the only people in the world…
"Your's…" He whispered back. A loud 'CLICK' ruined the moment, and Cody stood there, grinning impishly. Wade rolled his eyes at the other man. He was so immature! It was kinda funny when you stopped to think about it…Stephanie joined them as Lena kissed Wade's cheek, hiding the patch behind his own face. He didn't mind too much. He figured there'd be a lot of that.
"Good to see you're out of the hospital in the one piece, Lena…Now, you're going to show up on SmackDown, not RAW with the rest of them. I think we may have a random scene somewhere, where we only see your back…Now…Do you mind dying your hair black again?"
"…No…" Lena said, head swimming as tried to work out exactly what Stephanie was saying to her. The excited woman didn't seem to notice. "Good…know how to do foils?"
"Yeah…"
"Good, red ones then…We'll go from there…here's your hair dye…" She offered a bag out, and Lena took it, thanking her. Stephanie disappeared back into the hotel, and Lena turned back to the four men.
"So…hang on. I'm dying my hair black…and…?"
"Putting red streaks in it." Cody supplied. "Want me to do it?" He offered. Lena nodded, as she caught up a little. "Oh, thanks Codes!" She said, and he chuckled, petting her arm.
"First…more photos!" He said, grinning widely at her. Lena couldn't help but smirk a little at him, before Heath and Justin wrapped an arm around her from each side. She put an arm around each of them, grinning as Cody clicked the photo, laughing at Heath.
"No pulling faces!" He grumbled, as Alex and Mike dashed over. Their turn, it appeared.
Lena stood between them and hugged them both, resting her head on Mike's shoulder. Alex pulled her aside a little bit after they finished with their photos.
"Lena…are you happy? I am, and I don't you to be miserable…" he said quietly. Lena beamed up at him, nodding to him. "I don't think I could happier…Kevin…Thanks." She said, touching his arm as he went to leave. Alex smiled over his shoulder at her.
"As long as we're both happy with the changes." He told her, grinning, skipping over to Mike and kissing his jaw affectionately. Lena smiled as Mike put an arm around Alex, nuzzling him gently, and Alex's expression shifted into one of pure delight. He really was happy…That made her feel much better. She skipped back to Wade. His arms rested around her waist instantly, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down to her, so their lips could touch.
Cody snapped another picture, and Lena put a hand out, as if to stop him. He kept taking them, even of Heath and Justin making idiots of themselves, shoving each other around, and stealing each others bags and things, and even of Justin trying to put one of Lena's more girly shirts on Heath.
"Those are going in the 'no one else see's these' pile." Mike said, laughing at them. Alex nodded his head, kissing the top of Mike's head and stroking his hair back. Cody suddenly turned on them and snapped one, and Alex's eyes widened.
"Cody Runnels, you delete that photo now." Alex glared. Cody stuck his tongue out. "Make me!" He said, taking off. Alex wasn't far behind him, and used the extra length in his legs to catch up to Cody, pinning him down. "Now. Next one is an STF. Delete. The. Photo." Alex threatened. Cody smirked and tossed it over to Mike, who caught it easily. When Alex walked over, Mike smirked, and tossed it over to Heath, who grinned. What an 'Awesome' game.
"Who's up for toss the camera?" Justin asked, and Lena shrugged. "I'm in." She said, giggling. It turned into a game of monkey in the middle, which Wade found hilarious. He stayed out for the most part, until Lena decided they should stop wrecking Cody's camera and find a ball to play a game with.
Cody agreed and quickly snatched his camera up and ran inside, while the rest of them, Wade and Alex included, hunted for a decent sized ball to mess around with. They were messing around in the parking lot most of the day, until it was time for the RAW taping. Lena pouted, and Cody shrugged it off.
"Put it this way. I'll can put this stuff in your hair before my match." He said, holding up the boxes of hair dye for her to see, and remember. "And when I get out, we'll rinse it out and do the foils." He told her, and Lena nodded, tossing the bouncy ball in the back of the van.
"See you guys there." She said, waving at Cody, Mike and Alex.
When they got to the arena, Lena was in a much brighter mood, to the point it was very catching. Even Alberto, who was always cranky at everyone, found himself in a good mood from being around her. Cody did her hair for her, and took off to go get ready for his match with Phil, against Randy and Rey. Randy himself tapped on the door, Phil cautious behind him
"Hey…We heard the WWE's personal sun came back." Randy said, and Lena laughed, nodding. "Hiya Randy. Hi Phil." She said, poking at the plastic bag on her head. God, that thing was annoying!
Randy was grinning, as he sat down beside Lena. "Did a good job of your face." He told her. She'd taken off her patch, exposing the cuts to the air briefly, allowing them to breathe instead of getting suffocated. She'd put a patch on before she went to bed, and would leave it on until she got to the SmackDown nodded, frowning at her a little bit, eyes locking on the plastic bag on her head.
"If it's not too much to ask - What's that for?" He asked, frowning at her. Lena put a hand up to the accursed thing, and made a face. "To stop hair dye going everywhere. Keeps it off the walls and stuff." She told him, and Phil nodded his head, retreating back to his quiet state.
"Good to know you're okay." Randy said to her, examining her wrists, which she'd covered with gloves again. Phil leaned over, curious. Lena couldn't help but smile at Phil, until Rey, the Midget Mask Bearer, knocked on the side of the locker room door.
"Guys, we need to go." He said, waving a hand up to Lena, who nodded back to him. They had a mutual…understanding of one another, but neither particularly liked the other very much. Lena seemed to have a thing against guys in masks, something not one of her friends could get her to explain. Randy nodded.
"Good to have you back here, Lean's - it was miserable without you." He informed her, and Lena grinned at him, and Phil, who smiled just a little bit at her.
"Thanks guys…I didn't know things had been that bad…" She admitted, and Randy chuckled as he turned to leave the room. "You have no clue." He said to her, and Phil hung back a few seconds.
"He's right…we all were miserable." He told her sweetly. He offered a hand out to her, and, smiling a little bit, she took it. "I'm back now - you guys should be fine." She said, and Phil frowned at her.
"It wasn't us we were worried about." He told her softly, leaving the room. Lena frowned, and turned her head to Justin, who nodded. "It wasn't. Everyone was worried about you, because they knew you had a tendency to do stupid things when you got upset." He informed her, and Lena frowned. Wade smiled at her a little, while she played with her hands, trying to work out a way to occupy her time, until Cody came back.
Wade chuckled at her, watching her try and fill some sort of time in. She pouted as she sat upwards, looking around for something or other.
When she couldn't find it, she actually pouted, and stood up, walking around in circles through their locker room. She was getting frustrated. It was sorta cute…
Wade pulled her into his lap and kissed her temple - he had to give it to Cody. He'd done a good job of not letting any get on her face.
Lena was initially a little surprised, but she relaxed into his hold, glad of the plastic bag on her head. Heath was on the phone with someone, which was hard with Justin nibbling on his fingers.
Suddenly, Heath yelped, as Justin full fledge bit his pinkie finger, and Lena couldn't help but laugh. "Who was that, dear?" A voice asked on the other side of the phone. Justin swiped the phone from Heath, and spoke into it, much to Heath's frustration.
"Hi Mrs. Miller!" He said cheerfully.
"Oh, Justin, wonderful to hear from you!"
"You too! Don't worry about any sudden noise's Heath makes. I'm experimenting." He said, before saying goodbye and handing the phone back to Heath, who was more than a little horrified.
"…Ma?…I better go…" He said, flipping Lena off while she laughed into Wade's shoulder. "Yes…I know Justin is the closest thing you have to a daughter-in-law…" Lena lost it, and actually had to leave the room so Heath could finish his phone call.
Justin looked completely bewildered, as Heath grinned at him. "…Yes, ma, we are in fact going out. Call ya later." He said, hanging up. Wade was amused, just watching the variety of expressions that crossed the two men's could be heard cackling outside the door, and Justin's mouth was imitating a fishes.
"You…You…TOLD her?" Justin asked, bewildered. "Why on EARTH would you do that, Heath?" Justin was more than a little confused.
"She wanted to know why you were biting my fingers, aside from experimenting…Which had her very curious - why was I allowing it in the first place. So…I told her. I don't think we should have to hide from our families." Heath explained, before they heard Lena's voice talking to someone. Cody was back, it would appear. She entered the room, him by her side. "Okay…"
He was a yet to take his mask off, as he steered her into the locker room and pulled the plastic bag carefully off of her head, making sure all the spots were black, before telling her she could wash it out. She shut the door behind her, and Cody cast a glance at Heath and Justin, who were very caught up in each other, it would appear. As if it were only them in the locker room, instead of himself, Wade and Lena.
Heath was lying with his head in Justin's lap, eyes closed as Justin stroked his hair softly, running his palms down Heath's cheeks. Heath was so relaxed, that Cody believed that he and Wade could set a bomb off in Dwayne's locker room, and Heath would still be in Justin's lap.
Justin seemed to be enjoying it too, until Zeke came into the room and threw them the filthiest look. Wade caught that look and stood up, grabbing hold of Zeke's arm and pulling him out of the locker room.
"Look, you stop this homophobic ass-hole thing now. You're upsettin' Heath and Justin, and you're upsettin' Lena too, and you're really startin' to annoy me with it. SO. Cut it out, and get yourself a different locker room. I ever see you look at them like tha' again, I will have Vince write you out of our storyline, and we're the closest things you've got to friends, so I would keep my filthy looks to myself, and get over it." He snarled at Zeke.
"As unofficial leader of The Corre, this is your last warnin'. I know Lena's had a talk to you 'bout it, and so 'as Heath. So cut it out. They've asked you nicely, now I'm telling you." Wade said, turning on his heel and walking back into the was out of the bathroom already, and Cody was blow drying her hair.
Heath and Justin were missing, he noted. Lena caught that.
"They're in the bathroom…Figured since Zeke was around they'd move it towards the bathroom. Poor Justin was practically in tears, even when Heath tried to suggest it as gently as he could. They said thanks for sticking up for them." She said, over the hair dryer Cody was using. Evan Bourne slid into the room, and Cody beamed at the high-flying man.
"Hi Evan." He said, as Evan crossed the room and kissed Cody's temple. Wade raised his eyebrows at Cody, who blushed darkly.
"It's hard making things work when you're on separate shows…but it's worth it." Cody told Wade, as Evan and Lena quickly got into a conversation about aerial techniques. Wade smiled at Cody. So that was why he didn't care about Heath and Justin. Sneaky guy.
Cody put the hair dryer down, and brushed through the length of Lena's hair, which had gone very curly after being wet. Wade noticed the bleach and frowned. Why hadn't Cody just folded the foils up and dyed them like that, with a bluer base to work off of?
Lena could see Wade's confusion. "Because, with a bluer base, it'd come out slightly on the magenta side, and Steph and Vince want red, so…" She frowned, as Cody finished brushing her hair, and put his arms around Evan, beaming at the smaller man. He was so cute…Heath and Justin reappeared from the bathroom, Justin's eyes red and puffy. Lena didn't say anything, just stood up and wrapped her arms around him, holding the upset man to her.
Heath gestured to Wade, who frowned and stepped away from the other four. Heath was by him in an instant. "That jack-ass makes Justin cry one more time, I'm knocking his teeth out. I've had it up to here with him!" Heath grumbled at Wade, who nodded. "I talked to 'im about tha'.""We heard…Thanks." Heath said, and Wade beamed at him, as Lena managed to calm Justin down further. Justin couldn't help but thank whatever mystical forces there were, that aloud him to have such good, accepting, friends, and an Angel like all had to have been Angel's in a past life…He couldn't help but think. Heath rejoined Justin, kissing his temple softly. "It'll be okay, promise." Heath whispered to him. "If you like, I'll team with him when we go beat down Dwayne and Cena, instead of you? I know he makes you feel bad." The red head continued. Justin nodded, sniffing, and Heath kissed him again. Justin smiled as he leaned against Heath, and Heath put his arms around the man, smiling at the contact. "Justin, don't worry about Ezekiel…" Lena said quietly. "He's just jealous he doesn't have something like you and Heath, or Wade and I, or even Cody and Evan have." Cody beamed at her mentioning them, and even Evan had a smile for her. Heath had to remind himself to thank Lena later. Justin was right back to his usual self again, something that made him smile even wider.
Lena growled up at the screen, and they all jumped. The new guy, Sin Cara, was attacking Sheamus. Lena waited until he retreated backstage, and Lena was up and gone within a minute. She reached right behind the entrance and shoved him into a metal support from behind, growling at him through gritted teeth. Wade and Justin showed up behind her, while Sin Cara gasped out."Okay, listen here, batman! Sheamus happens to be a good friend of mine, and of many of the people back here. Everyone's just seen that, and I can tell you, you are in deep shit now. If I hear you've attacked him again, I'll be back, got it?" She snapped at him. "Help yourself to the Zack Ryder's and Trent Barretta's. Touch Sheamus, or any of my friends again, I'll make SURE you don't wrestle here very long." She snapped, and Wade tugged her back. "Justin, take 'er back." He said quietly, offering his hand to the much - MUCH - shorter man. "Sorry 'bout 'er. She's very protective of…practically everyone." He said, frowning. "I know that doesn't make up for what jus' 'appened, but…"Sin Cara nodded at him. "It's okay…I figured I'd get attacked by someone for that." He told Wade through the mask. His voice was very muffled by it. Maybe that was the point - if something seriously hurt, it he could curse every name under the sun and no one could hear nodded, glad they were on separate shows. "Again, I'm so sorry…" "It's fine. Fire's can't be tamed very well, unless you throw water at it." Sin Cara said simply, and Wade nodded again. His neck was hurting now. Sin Cara waved goodbye, and disappeared cheerfully, as though he hadn't gotten thrown at something, by a girl who was definitely taller than he went back to their locker room, where Justin was scolding her like a child. She wasn't paying any mind to it, and Wade raised his eyebrows at her. She rolled her eyes back at him, biting on her lip as Justin finished…or more, Heath had wrapped himself around Justin, and Justin completely forgot about what he was saying.A little while later, they got called, and Lena stayed behind, reminding Justin not to let Zeke get to him while they were out was still doing the foils, but he was changing the mixture a little bit. "This is the colour the streaks are going to go." He told her, showing her a piece of hair he'd cut from earlier. He'd cut a good two inches off the bottom of her hair after dying it again. The ends of her hair just hadn't liked that at all, so she'd given him the go-ahead to cut leaned over to get a look himself. The colour was almost like that of blood. Lena nodded.
"That's pretty good." Lena said, grinning widely. Evan beamed and started helping Cody out, something Lena was nervous about. They'd put on the screen what was going on in the ring, and Lena was practically biting her nails through to the bones while she watched. She hated watched them getting attacked, which was why Wade normally put her at the commentators table - so she'd have something to stop her from running in there and getting attacked herself. She bit her lip, as Wade got 'The Peoples Elbow' and Heath got an 'Attitude Adjustment.'
"Poor Heath, he's had a rough few weeks." Lena said quietly, and Evan nodded. "Poor guy. Hope this isn't leading to him splitting from you guys. The four of you work well together. Zeke's just around for the muscle." Evan said, and Lena nodded her agreement. She hadn't known him that long, but they were on the exact same wave length, so it made talking to him very easy, she came back into the room, half supporting Heath, while Wade was limping. It was Cody pulling on her hair that stopped her from bolting over to them. Justin had one hand over his eye, while the other helped Heath down. "Nice punch, Wade.""Sorry, Justin." The taller man said, biting down on his lip. He hadn't meant to hit Justin there…Heath carefully felt the ground below him, and Justin sighed. "I'm going to go get a trainer." He said gently, kissing Heath's temple and disappearing out the door. Wade thought that was an extremely good idea, watching the way Heath was looking around. Evan sighed softly, snuggling Cody, who was just finishing the foils."You can rinse these out back at the hotel." He told her, petting her back. She pulled on her hoodie and tugged it over her head. She could probably contact aliens, she had that much foil in her hair. Wade put his arms around her. "You okay?" She asked him. "Knee botherin' me again." Wade murmured. Lena frowned. "How does that work off a people's elbow and a rock bottom?" She asked, as Cody and Evan grabbed their things and took off. "I 'ave no clue." He admitted to Lena, who chuckled to herself gently. Justin came back in, clutching at his ribs, where a fast growing bruise was seen in the shape of a foot. A trainer followed him in, and Lena was down beside Justin in a second."What happened?""Zeke…" He grumbled to Lena. "Got me right where it kills after the 450 splash…"Lena grumbled, glancing up at Wade, who shook his head. Lena would have been on a mission to kill, but would have been destroyed."I'll deal with Zeke, you stay with these two." He said, leaving the room in search of Zeke. Didn't take much effort, and when he did find him, Zeke nearly attacked him too, until he realised it was Wade. He lowered his fist, and Wade glared at him. "I warned you about tha'.""No. You just said no more filthy looks.""Fuck you. Now, you listen good, cupcake. I've 'AD it. They're shy enough about being the way they are, without you makin' it worse. Go back to your hotel room, alone, and leave them the 'ell alone!" Wade snapped at him. Zeke glared, but did as he was told.
When Wade came back, the trainer was gone, and Justin was on his back, stretching the way the trainer's had told him to, since he first started having problems."They reckon I might have a cracked rib…""Tha's nothin' new…Why you keep flipping off the turnbuckle is beyond me." Wade said. Lena grinned up at Wade."Cause he's got competition now. We made a bet at the start of the year who could do the most flipping around for half the year. I'm winning, so we may be headed to the beach again.""Wha' 'appens if Justin wins?"
"He hasn't worked something out yet." Heath said airily. Justin sighed as he sat upright again, and came up behind Heath, wrapping his arms around the man tightly. Lena smiled softly, as Heath leaned back against Justin, who kissed his temple gently. "Come on, we need to get to the hotel." He said softly. Lena nodded, helping them up."I'm driving." She giggled, and they couldn't help but agree with her. When they got back to the hotel, Heath and Justin separated from them and went to their own room, while Lena and Wade continued towards their own. They caught sight of Sin Cara, still wearing his mask. He raised a hand in greeting to Wade, who nodded back at him. Lena passed him quietly, and Wade sighed. "He didn't mind. He said he figured he'd be getting into trouble over that one." Wade said to her, and Lena frowned as she unlocked their hotel door."I'm worried about leaving Heath and Justin alone. They're both injured now…" Lena said quietly, changing the sighed, as Lena grabbed a towel to put around her shoulders. "I am too, don't worry. But they've got Santino and Kozlov one side of them, and John and Randy the other, they should be alrigh'…""Should." Lena murmured. "Can you help me rinse these foils out?" She asked him. Wade nodded, following her into the bathroom.
He turned the hot tap on, knowing she hated the cold, and when it was heated up enough, she leaned her head over. Wade rinsed the water through her hair, which had come up really soft after the conditioner she'd put in it earlier. He couldn't help but laugh as she moaned contently, while he massaged her scalp. He turned the water off, and she rolled over, leaning her back against the bath gently. Wade leaned over and kissed her deeply, his arms wrapping around her and pulling her up, away from the bath's probably painful edge, and into him. They devoured each other's mouths hungrily, tangling themselves around one another, like they were a life force, neither could live without the other.
He pulled back when air became an annoying necessity, leaving them both there, gasping in the air around them, their lungs complaining about the length of time without it.
Lena needed to work out a way to turn off…But that had felt so good, she almost didn't want to. Wade offered an apologetic smile to her, and she smiled back at him. As she left the room to go find a hairdryer, so she could get a basic idea as to what they were doing with her, Wade took hold of her arm and kissed her bandaged wrists. Lena smiled at him and kissed him, much gentler this time. She wasn't pushing anything. The message was clear, and she was willing to wait. "Soon, promise…once you're all healed up." He promised her, and she smiled, at him. He cuddled her close and kissed her temple, before taking hold of the towel around her shoulders and using that to dry her hair enough that she wouldn't drip on the carpet. When she'd dried her hair, she turned to face him. "So, what d'you think?" She asked him. Without the patch on her face, and her hair like that, she looked genuinely creepy.
"Creepy." He told her, and Lena nodded. "Okay then." She said, lying beside him on the bed. "Maybe that's what they're going for?" She tried, and he laughed beside her. "Maybe…You won't know until tomorrow, though.""Tomorrow should hurry up.""Go to sleep, it will.""Can you call Phil for me? I'm restless." She murmured. Wade frowned for a second, before he just about knocked his head into the wall when he realised what she meant. His finisher…YEP. Good job, Wade…He told himself, rolling his eyes."I'm sure a Wasteland will work just as well." He said to her, and she snuggling against his side comfortably. Wade put his arm around her.
"More fun if you knock me out…" She said, kissing his jaw. Wade felt tingly all over when she did that. He smiled at her, as she leaned over and turned the lights out, rubbing her eyes a little. His lips brushed her forehead, starting to hum a lullaby - the same one Justin had hummed for her while she was panicking. When she drifted out, he brushed his fingers over the scars on her face. You couldn't really even call them scars yet - they were still cuts, just sealed up a little sighed, wishing he'd been there to hum the song for her when she did this to herself. Why, was the question he wanted answered…And why their van? And how had she even gotten into the parking lot?
And, the question which got him - Why hadn't he, Heath, or Justin found anything in the area she could slice herself with?
He couldn't help but wonder about the off chance of someone else doing this to her. It would make a little sense, no razor blade or anything - but who would attack Lena?
An ass hole…Like Alberto…or the big guy he had around with him, who was literally dumber than the box of hair he didn't have. He'd had brief conversations with Ricardo, as the mans English was limited, and he was much too smart to be hanging around Alberto's type - big and retarded. He reckoned Alberto had something for Brodus…Something Ricardo HATED with a burning passion.
He couldn't get his mind off of the previous thoughts. He didn't know for sure now. She wouldn't say anything about it, so that was pointless…
Obviously, no one else had been in the parking lot. Lena murmured in her sleep, thrashing out sidewards violently. Wade put an arm around her shoulders, one around her waist and locked her in place until she calmed down again, drifting back into a peaceful sleep.
Sighing, he kissed her temple, and cuddled her close to him, listening to her breathing, his own personal lullaby, until it lulled him into the falsely serene world of dreams.
Don't have a CLUE where that chapter came from. It's just what came out on the pages when I was typing. It's not that late at the moment, quarter to eleven. Next one soon
