On the Saturday morning after Primetime, the scene opened to the apartment of the recently fired Lise Starr who was sitting down on a couch dressed in a white bathrobe, sitting beside her was CM Punk. A few hours after Primetime, Lise Starr bailed Punk out of a local prison after his arrest so it’s no surprise that the last twelve hours have been chaos for the Straight Edge Society. Lise was remaining quiet but it was obvious she was feeling angry and saddened. CM Punk knew this and had trouble thinking of how to start a conversation without Lise freaking out at him. Finally, Punk breaks the silence between them. “Your hair looks nice…”
Running a hand through her dark hair, Lise responds. “Thanks but enough of your attempts to charm me. I know exactly what you’re trying to do, isn’t gonna work this time. I told you to be careful and what did you do? Kick Xion in the head… sure the asshole deserved it but why did you do it? We lost our jobs.”
Punk merely shrugged. “It’s not like I haven’t been fired before… I’ve been fired from worse dumps than this place. Besides, you worry too much. It’s not like we can’t find work somewhere else. I enjoyed every second of kicking the shit out of Xion. If I had more time, I would have gone mental like you did to AJ last tonight too. That should teach her about pissing in your Cheerios.”
“I worry too much? What the hell are you expecting? I told you that if I got fired, they’d send me back to Australia, eventually I’m going to be getting phone calls. What else do I have? That former company of yours isn’t interested in me because they’d rather sign useless women who don’t give a damn about this industry. Then there’s another certain company who would pay me in peanuts. Sometimes I feel like you want me to kicked out of the US...” Lise would say angrily, shaking her head.
“I’m sorry, okay? I fucked up this time. Is that what you wanted to hear?”
“I want you to say that you’ll get our jobs back. I know you can do this, you’ve dealt with corrupt authority before and I know you can do it again.”
“I’ll get our jobs back… eventually. Maybe I could go back to Australia with you? You’re always saying you want to bring me around your family more often and convince them that what you do for a living isn’t so bad.”
“I would love that, you dropping a pipebomb on my family. However, I’m not going back to Melbourne. I’m staying here and we’re gonna get our jobs back, then we’re gonna get sweet revenge on Xion and his stooges… of course, with that whackjob AJ trying to get into my business.”
“That sounds great and all but exactly how ARE we going to do all of that Wonder Woman? And don’t look at me, as I’m on vacation from being both the brains and beauty of this team.”
Raising an eyebrow, the now irritated Lise stared at Punk for a moment. “Would it kill you not to be an asshole for once? You always come up with something, being the genius you are. Besides you are not on a “vacation”.” She said before sighing. “I’ll be generous and help you come up with a plan because you’ve done a lot for me… except for the whole getting my ass fired thing!” Randomly snapping at Punk, Lise rolled her eyes.
“Me, an asshole? What is this world coming to if you’re jumping to delusional conclusions like that?” Noticing that she’s still angry, he casually drapes his arm over her shoulders to comfort her as he continues. “It’s not going to be the end of the world with you not having a job. We’re going to bounce back from this - no problem at all. Remember when you were ‘fired’ before from GZWA? Then you returned and had your problems? I took care of you then at your worst and I’ll do so now and forever. There’s nothing to worry about.”
Slowly calming down for good this time, Lise hesitated for a few seconds but eventually nodded. “Alright. I apologize for freaking out but what did you expect? Since I was threatened about losing my job a while ago, I’ve just been a little paranoid and my mind is everywhere.” Before continuing to speak, she rested her head onto Punk’s shoulder. “I have faith in you.”
The scene faded to black.
