ReAction -- Primetime 3-9-15

[Xion Zeros]

This Episode's Topics:

• Tonight's event kicked off with a Singles Match between the debuting Ashley Wonder and Amanda Cortez. Unfortunately, that match didn't properly take place as Amanda was viciously assaulted by the MisFits (Laura Jackson & Casey Cortez). The MisFits then tossed Amanda's body into the ring, literally handing Ashley Wonder the win. How this this new addition to the Vixens division feel about obtaining her first win in GZWA in this manner?
  
  
• "Scary Mary Joyner provided a preview to her Queen of Queens Tournament with a Battle Royal between some of the entrants in the tournament. Newcomer Alice Shadow picked up the win after Ashleigh Cash sacrificed herself to eliminate Delta Madison to literally hand her friend the win. Is Alice Shadow 
  
  
• The Ladies of Doom (Delta Madison & Endee Leights) have answered the Extreme Juggalos' challenge with the news of Endee Leights' departure from GZWA. With a heavy heart, the GZWA Nation is sad to see her go, but what's next for Delta Madison as she moves on as a singles competitor? What does Amiee Vaughan have to say about this turn of events?
  
  
• "The Statement" Victor Phillips got payback after his loss to Sean O'Haire by playing a part in his loss to Rocky Romero tonight. Who will make the next "statement" in this rivalry?
  
  
• Shiek MMA made his GZWA debut tonight, speaking on the belief of Arab brethren, only to be promptly shut-up by the debuting Zane. Who is this mysterious new young Superstar?
  
  
• GZWA Tag Team Champions Laura Jackson and Casey Cortez defeat the Clique's own Mandisa Carter and Vixen Champion Raven. They picked up the win after distracting Raven long enough with the title to keep her away from breaking the pin on Mandisa Carter. Will Raven's misguided sense of priority and importance cause a rift between herself and the rest of the MisFits?
  
  
• "The Modern Day Warrior" Gabriel Wingue returned to GZWA tonight to challenge the reigning GZWA World Heavyweight Champion Carnage. After a minor adjustment by Serena Dent, this match changed to a title match with the title on the line. After a climatic back and forth contest between the two Superstars, Carnage emerge the victor, but didn't hesitate to continue punishing Wingue for crossing the Authority. Is there anyone willing to stand up to this monster? 
  
  

• The Enforcers (Dequan Wallace & G-Money Briggs) issued an open challenge, only to have it answered by Ry Drake. A disgruntle Rocky Romero joins in the fray, assaulting Drake until the Mega Busters (Matthew Miles & Psycho Sagus) come to Ry Drake's aid. Are these young Superstars crazy enough to continue standing up to the Authority?
  
  
• Mariah defeated Mei Long to become the NEW #1 Contender to the Vixen Championship. Is Mei Long going to sit quietly with this loss or will she allow Mariah's prior comments and common hatred of Raven drive her towards redemption?
  
  
• Tonight's broadcast ended with team of JD Cruz and Amber Torres defeating the GZWA Television Champion Mike Bradley and Danielle Bradley. With Amber's pinfall victory over Danielle Bradley, does this mean that Danielle will cease taking the other Vixens of GZWA lightly or will she chunk this up as fluke win? Is a Television title match in the near future with the Clique's own continuing to prove their dominance. 

(Remember this topic is NOT just limited to these points, newcomers feel free to "react" on the events of this most recent GZWA program and/or introduce your characters in-character if you're a debuting Superstar/Diva and didn't appear in the most recent show results.)

[Deleted]

Ashley Wonder was caught up with after the show. She spoke to GZWA about the match.

"The referee was not going to stop the match, so I decided to take the win. The goal of the match was to win, and that is what I did in the ring. I am not proud of what happened, and I have nothing to do with it. I want to issue a challenge for the next edition of Primetime. I have made it clear that my intentions are to defeat the evil doers and now I have some new targets. I want Laura Jackson of the MisFits next week. I am going to avenge what happened."

Exclusive short video about the preview battle royal from Alice shadow

"Hey guys, it was so great to win the match that was the battle royal preview. My best friend even put  herself in front of me to sacrifice herself. I really don't know how the thank her, I really did not expect that. The fact that she gave up the chance to win for me, shows that she is such a good friend. I am glad we are going to both be in this tournament. I look forward to the tournament as well as working with her. I can't wait to team with her, and she is a great talent. You guys may misjudge her because her little size, but she is awesome. She should be the Queen of Queens, not me. The way I look at it is, if I win I will be happy, but if she wins I will be just as happy. The politics can not destroy our friendship, she is my best friend for ever."

[❤Rose❤]

After the show is over, the medical area is shown, where a doc takes care for Amanda’s injured knee. They have X-rayed it and now it’s bandaged again. Amanda still wines a bit, but slowly it’s a bit better and she takes a deep breath. Then she looks into the camera.

"Ok, ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me. It'll be the last time that you hear me. It's a bit sad that it had to end this way, but prolly it was even my own fault. I never wanted this stupid war and I only tried to help my former stable, but everything went wrong. I know that I deserve this fate in some way, but to be honest, was it really necessary to end my career?
So Casey and Laura, I hope you are happy with what you have done to me.”

For a moment she sighs and it’s clearly visible that the petite redhead is completely in shock.

"So I think everybody got what I wanted to say, tonight was my last appearance at GZWA, because it’s not cleared whether I will be able to wrestle again. The doctors can’t say whether my knee will heal completely again, and so my career is over, thanks to Casey and Laura. But don’t worry, I’m not too mad and I forgive you what you have done to me.
Yes, you heard right, I’m not mad, I’m only so fucking sad and disappointed.”

She swallows hard and now even a tear runs down her cheek, but she doesn’t care. Shall everybody see how sad she is and how hard it is for her to go.

"And now there's only one thing left to do and this is to say Good Bye to GZWA. I know that most people here don’t like me and that it was prolly my own fault. The last weeks nobody here talked to me anymore and I got completely ignored. I tried to come into the focus again by insulting everybody but this was a huge mistake.
Anyway, now, as I’m about to leave, I wanna apologize to all the people whom I Have offended, even to Bradley.
And now it’s time for a few last words. I know that I was a pain in the ass, that I was complaining, cheating and everything, but there’s one thing I still have to say, I always loved GZWA and this will never change.
YXWWF was the first place where I wrestled and they were the only company who took me after I got released. Then it closed and GZWA opened. I was so damn happy and it was like a dream that became reality. At first everything was so great, but then it changed. More and more I became the bad ass and now I must say, that I wasn’t happy how it developed, but I never knew how to change it. So it began to escalate.
Anyway, now it’s too late and I can’t change it anymore, but I still wanna say that I’m sorry, so sorry. GZWA has always been my family and this will never change …”

Now she is really sobbing, but after a few minutes she manages it to speak again.

“So the only thing that is left to say is to say Good Bye GZWA. Please don’t forget your Mandy ….cuz I will never forget you.”

Now Rose has entered the room too and she helps Amanda up. She hugs her and then the two slowly leave the medical area. A last time Amanda turns around and a last time she blows a kiss into the direction of the camera, then the scene fades to black.

[DΔShΞR]

The Reaction crew catches Amber and Jaser Cruz immediately following their main event win over fellow Bro and Sis pair The Bradley's. Amber and Jaser are seen smiling ear to ear.

A: Let me guess, a response to our win? Welp, cant ya see it right here in front of you? The Bradley twins love to talk talk talk about how great they are, how the can out wrestle everyone else and whatever garbage they manage to spit out. Even when knocked down on their asses they still run their mouths. It's annoying. Danielle in particular. Thought she couldn't get touch. Thought no one would stand up to ass. But baby like the rest of the Vixens division, come correct or get that ass tapped.

Jaser lets out a playful "Oh Girl.

J: You better drag!

Jaser and Amber both laugh

Eden Stiles: so Jaser, following the win where does this leave you and Mike? There's rumbling about you being the next in line for the television title. Care to comment?

Jaser: Well Eden, those rumors are true. As I stated last Primetime i am next in line for a shot at the title. Right now im having my fun with Mike. Getting in his head, his sisters head. Getting him flustered so when he least expects it come and take my title from him. The win tonight was just a part in that. Keep watching as it all unfolds.

Amber and Jaser turn to leave but stop and turn around

A: AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW...

J: NOW YOU KNOW!

Amber and Jaser crack up as they walk away with the scene fading out.

[DELT∆]

Backstage in the GZWA arena, Amiee Vaughan was talking to a female backstage worker. Amiee was going through her tirades with the backstage worker standing there emotionless listening her ranting about the events of Primetime.

“Can you believe what Deloser did to me? That was uncalled for, I mean, I totally invented her. The Ladies of Doom wouldn’t have existed without MY brains. I can’t believe Endee didn’t have the gall to even tell me she was leaving GZWA, who does that? I bet Endee knows whose the father of Delta’s baby. I’m mean, SERIOUSLY, why can’t I be trusted with knowing stuff? Do they seriously think I can’t keep secrets? I totally can keep secrets. They are the ones who need to get over themselves, they aren’t that important.”

Amiee huffed, rolling her eyes and stamping her feet childlike on the hard floor.

“And Delta had the audacity to say it was revenge for 6 years ago? Like, so what if I hit her with the ringbell and sent the Big Show on her. She deserved it back then! She was trying to steal away my husband from me, what was I supposed to do? I told her her to get over it and move on but noooo”

Amiee begun to try her best (not really) Delta impersonation, with a fake accent and over the top mannerisms.

“But I’m a stupid bitch who picks all the wrong boys because I have terrible taste. But whatevs, I’ll probably retire within the next week or two because I suck.”

Amiee returned to normal, feeling proud of her impersonation of her cousin.

“She is soo not going to survive without me…”

Amiee flipped her dark hair hitting the backstage worker in the face and then proceeding to leave. The Backstage worker makes an unimpressed face and mumbles to herself as the scene fades.

“What’s her problem?”

[♡☈ɑ√əη]

ooc: Thank you ❀ℋine 'ea❀ for this amazing idea ^_^

(also involves Carnage, Tia Brooks & Xion Zeros)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hey, everyone. I’m Eden Stiles and this is GZWA ReAction. While the Superstars still bring the intensity this episode of Primetime, the Vixens Division is still going strong with many female competitors dominating the federation, but the biggest focus involves the championship title and all of its glory. We saw that Mariah would take a win for the Queen Bee Mafia to become the #1 contender for the title after causing Mei Long to submit on what would be her second consecutive loss since her return. However, while footage showed that the champion, Raven, had attacked Mariah and stood tall, the audience got to see another part of the match that showed an even worse punishment for the former champion, Mei Long. Before we get to the special guest, we would like to show you the footage of what happened after the #1 contenders match…”

With a smiling Raven backing up the ramp while taking in the jeers from the audience, Morgan and Tia hurry from backstage to check on Mariah. Raven gives a short vicious side-eye from being purposefully bumped into by Morgan during their hurry into the ring help the new #1 contender for the Vixen Championship to her feet. To further humiliate Mei, Tia proceeds to giggle at her, while Morgan is much more vocal and at a closer distance. Mei only sits there, holding her head with her back to them, still shocked from what transpired.

Just when Mei’s luck turns bad, it turns for the worst. Suddenly…

“Let the bodies hit the floor…”

Heavy Metal erupts through the speakers, signaling boos….and surprises from the Vixens on stage. Carnage appears from backstage in wrestling gear. He stops close to Raven, looking at her as she is covering her ears with her index fingers from the loud atrocity behind her. He mouths one word to her. “Okay?” she mouths back, rolling her eyes and strutting backstage.

While walking down the ramp, Queen Bee Mafia dashes out the ring, only to stop to him at the corner while he stands right in front of the ring.

He looks back at them, saying the same thing, followed by a thumb leading the direction. Morgan looks back with disgust, while Mariah leads the way up the ramp for her team members to follow. Mariah was already satisfied over her win, and chose not to get involved in any other hostility. While up the ramp, Morgan mocks Carnage to Tia behind his back.

Carnage would have liked to make a physical response towards Morgan’s attitude, but that is not his focus. That is not why he is appearing after the #1 Contender match. Instead, he has bigger fish to fry…..or a dragon to slaughter.

Carnage enters the ring, while Mei steadily rises up to her feet.

Then…there was a smirk. A devilish smirk gleaming from Carnage, which signals Mei to take one step away from him. She looks around her for any chances to escape whenever she attacked him.

But conflict between the two is prevented by Rocky Romero, sprinting to the stage and in between the small gap. He tries to mediate Carnage’s hunger for extermination by reasoning with him, while Mei exits to the outside through the ring apron.

“Don’t do this, Carnage.”, Rocky continuously repeats, but Carnage is gradually getting angry.

“I told you, NOT TO INTERFERE!!”, Carnage shouts loud enough for the front rows of audiences to appear. This worsens the situation as the two end up arguing at each other. Romero throwing Spanish slurs throughout his sentences, while Carnage uses hand gestures to respond, or threaten.

But there is a problem. Carnage left his eyes away from Mei for too long. His consequence? Getting hit in the back of the head by a chair that Mei was reaching under the ring for. Rocky ducks out of the way to prevent Carnage from landing on him as he stumbled to the floor.

Mei drops the chair, feeling pleased about her actions. Her eyes shifted to Rocky, who is the exact opposite. He then proceeds to shift his arguing to Mei Long. Just like DOA, Mei Long is confused yet again, wondering why Romero is reacting this way. Rocky’s loud and emphasizing voice overpowering Mei’s as she tries to speak her feelings out. Mei lightly pushes him by the chest, but before her contributions can elevate the argument, Romero yanks Mei away from an upcoming spear by Carnage. Déjà vu all over again.

Carnage rotates his head to Mei Long at his left, who is stunned at Romero knocked out on the canvas. As soon as Mei can move her eyes to Carnage, he grabs and lifts her by her hair. Mei tries to fight back by kicking at him, but his massive strength proves to be a major disadvantage. He lifts her over her shoulders before slamming her onto the canvas with the Burning Hammer (Reverse Death Valley Driver).

Boos erupt and cover the arena like lava, but Carnage’s boiling blood could withstand it. He breathes in the moment arms spread and eyes closed. The message that both men, and women, will bow to him and his success.

The camera cuts to Raven watching the clip on the backstage screen while tracing her finger along the design of the Vixen Title’s name plate as it sits on her shoulder. The camera fully pans out to show Eden next to her ready to do her job.

“That poor soul. Having that mess blared into her ear like that.”

Of course she was talking about herself and Carnage’s entrance music. The camera zooms back to Raven and Eden Stiles, the interviewer, standing face to face.

“Well, as you all can see, our special guest is the Vixen’s champion, Raven. Your reign is still ringing superiority to the association with not only you, but your fellow stablemates Amber Torres and Jaser Cruz winning their main event match against The Bradleys. Before we get to your involvement and thoughts with the Vixen’s Title on the line, how do you feel about their victory tonight at the main event?”

“Well there was never any doubt. That main event was nothing more than a classic case of Bark vs Bite. Sure the Bradley’s can spew a bunch of sh[beep] talk, especially the one claiming she’s above my division, but when it came down to it, the Cruz’s bite won them the match.”

Raven shoots her eyes up thinking for a bit.

“Ya know? I’ve been meaning to ask Amber if she’s still a ‘Torres’ or if she reverted back to ‘Cruz” after the divorce. Hmm. Anyway, congratulations to them.”

“I can agree on that, and while they are chasing for the Tag Team and Television titles, you will be having your title on the line once again against Mariah, before we get to that, what did you think about what happened after after the match? Such an unfortunate occurrence that we just witnessed."

“Eeeeeh. Was it really? Looking back on that clip, Mei had no right to attack Carnage. Granted, he might’ve came out there just to scare her but him and Rocky had something to settle with each other. And here she goes trying to get her licks in. As far as what I did to her, I was just blowing off steam from her rejecting my handshake. Sure, people can say that that’s a very small reason to attack someone, but I am an artist and I’m sensitive about my sh[beep]t.”

"Now for your opponent, Mariah. Any strategies you have against her?”

“First of all, nothing is set in stone until she signs a contract. Who knows what can happen between that time? Injury. An unfortunate accident. Another one of her girl interrupted stints. All I’m saying is let’s not get too comfortable with calling her a number 1 contender. For all the years I’ve known her, she’s had trouble with winning the big ones.”

Raven innocently shrugs with a smirk on her face.

“Well she has certainly fought her way back to the top after months of taking a break, or working as a tag team member. With how quick her momentum has elevated, do you feel any….dare I say it….intimidation from her?”

“Intimi…” Raven can’t even finish the word without letting out a scoff. “Girl, do I feel any what?? As the face of the Vixen’s Division, I have reigned with my foot on necks for over a year. Nonstop domination, okay? This is Raven Nation. Marisol should be asking herself if she feels intimidated.”

“Excuse me, hoe….”

Raven is so rudely interrupted by a familiar female Southern accent, causing Raven to immediately roll her eyes as to what is heading her way. There was no need to turn around to recognize the voice. She was already annoyed, which was a common trope that she associated when it came to the girl insulting her.

The camera zooms away to reveal the antagonizing woman. The Georgia Peach, Morgan Davis, with Tia Brooks following behind her.

“And what in your imaginary ass world should Mariah be intimidated about?”

Still facing Eden, with her back turned to Morgan, Raven slowly shakes her head obviously not feeling in the mood for this right now. Somewhat ignoring Ms. Davis, she continues to speak to Eden.

“If only this heffa put as much focus into herself as she does my bidness, maybe she could make something of her life one day. A strong maybe.”

Raven keeps her back to QBM but slips her title off her shoulder to lay it on the ground….just in case.

“Because when I see some sneaky ass s**t, I don’t care about putting it on blast, especially from you. It doesn’t matter how long I continue to do it, but just know that your silly bulls**t is going to crash land one day, and the world will see you for who you really are. Some f**ked up Raggedy Ann trying to be a porcelain doll.”

Just then, Raven makes a sharp turn getting in Morgan’s face.

“Let me tell you something, bitch. I don’t give a single, solitary f[bleep]k on what you think about how I get things done. Just know that despite all that mouth you got to put things on blast, I’m still the one with the a permanent boot on the back of your neck!”

“Hussy, I dare one leg even attempt to lift high enough to do that because I will tag your ass with the quickness!”

Tia steps forward in hopes of restraining Morgan before another physical incidence occurred. Out of sheer pettiness, Raven couldn’t resist pushing Tia...causing her to collide with Morgan and crash up against the wall. An altercation reaching its breaking point, gives Eden her signal to retreat from the scene.

Before a satisfied and giggling Raven could retreat herself, yelling Morgan tries to stand up to her feet and charge towards Raven, but before she could even attempt to land her punch, security rushes to pick Morgan up and guard her from Raven. Instead, Morgan only taps Raven on the cheek with her palm. Another security guard was also quick to keep recovering Tia from Raven as well. With that slap across the face, Raven launches over the security reaching out for a handful of Morgan’s hair with one hand while swinging with the other. Morgan exchanging with punches flying everywhere, not caring where it lands. Another guard rushes out to constrain Raven and hopefully keep the brawl from escalating any further.

The camera switches between Raven and Morgan to see their ReActions. On one end, Raven is filled with rage. The camera pans to the left, catching a last second glimpse of Morgan before she is rushed behind the curtain.

Morgan, however....was grinning.

[The Bradley Clan]

Mike and Danielle Bradley slowly make their way back to their locker room after an eventful night on Primetime. Christy Hemme and the ReAction crew approach them.

"Mike, Danielle, there was a lot going on for you guys tonight-"

"YOU'RE FUCKING RIGHT THERE'S A LOT GOING ON!!"

"What you saw tonight was a fluke - Amber pinning me doesn't mean shit until all the chips are on the table! She's only delaying the inevitable, and when I get her alone in that ring, it'll be the last time her arm is in that shape!"

"But what about being entered into the Queen of Queens tournament?"

Danielle's eyes widen in a state of disbelief.

"WHAT THE FUCK?! No! How many times to do I have to make it clear that I'm miles beyond these bikini models? I've proven time and again that I can hang with the toughest WRESTLERS in this company! The only reason I challenged Torres to a match at the next pay-per-view was because I needed to make an example out of her! But now I have to be in a whole fucking tournament with these twigs?!"

Danielle looks like she's about to tear her hair out as she seethes.

"You know what? FINE. I'll do it. But ladies, may God have mercy on your souls, your spines, and your arms, because I'm going to tear through this tournament with a whole path of crumpled, frail bodies in my wake, and then the bookers will have no choice but to give me what I want, and that's a shot at a REAL title!"

Danielle storms off, but Mike remains.

"Can't say as I blame her... I'm tired of her getting disrespected by the bookers."

"Mike, moving onto your attack on Chris Matthews -"

"What goes around comes around, Christy. Matthews and Cruz thought they could put me out of action and wrest the title from me by default, but it takes a hell of a lot more than that to keep me down! I came back from being in a catatonic state for two months to become Television Champion, so a little two-on-one assault isn't going to do a fraction of that damage! Matthews, Cruz, how many times do I have to remind you - you can't touch me! You wanna dance? I'll choke you both out and name that tune in one note!"

And if you don't know... now you know!

Mike runs off to his locker room and the camera fades to black.

[Xion Zeros]

OOC: Special Thanks to SinCityDollz / brooklyng for helping me get this done. We were going to save this for Total Vixens but it plays up better for the future of the Authority IMO...


Xion Zeros was backstage watching tonight's broadcast wrap up, smiling that his followers within the Authority - especially Carnage - got the job done tonight. Despite their success he was distracted all night as he was constantly watching his phone, waiting on a specific call.



He muttered to himself, "Why do I keep doing this to myself? Why don't I just move on?"

Brooklyn Glamourous saw Xion looking down at his phone and almost smiled to herself. Awww, was he waiting for her to call or text him. She made sure that she was super quiet as she tapped him on the shoulder. Brooklyn was able to hear the last of his statement and said with a soft chuckle, "Because I'm the best that ever was, and we be in your life, Xion."

Xion looked up over his shoulder and mused, "How do you know I was expecting a call from you? Could've been a call from the board of directors. Could've been one of the staff workers or roster with an issue that I needed to address. You're not the only person in my life, y'know."

He adds, "Given how you disappear so much I'm starting to believe that I'm not the only person in yours."

She gave a good laugh and shrugged her shoulders. "Because Xion when you are thinking about me, you frown. See like your doing now." Brooklyn winked at him while she moved over to the wall to lean against it lightly, while she folded her arms over her stomach. "Why would you care. Would you be jealous or something?" She lean forward slightly saying "It's okay to tell me."

"Shouldn't I be asking you that question? But then again, you're the woman who didn't care when we went our separate ways 10 yrs ago only to pop up out of nowhere to inform that she's been keeping my daughter from me." He sighs heavily, "You know I care about you. It's never been clear cut about how you feel about me."



Veda Scott bursts in unexpectedly, "Did you see that out there, Mr. Zeros? Carnage decimated that guy! What do you -- Oops, I'm sorry I didn't notice you were having company. I'll come back later."

Xion shook his head, "It's fine. You needed me to sign that paperwork for our newest acquisition anyway."

Veda Scott opens her binder and hands Brooklyn a folder, "Miss Brooklyn, you will be satisfied to know that I have completed the terms of our contract. Mr. Zeros has been completely faithful to you. He has a wandering eye, but he hasn't engage nor pursued any other woman but you, which is rather strange given his track record."

Xion looks shocked, "What contract?"

Veda Scott adds, "Don't look that way, Mr. Zeros. Like I've told you in the past, I have multiple clients and I respectfully fulfill those contracts without question. There is no need to worry, my intentions were pure and my position within the Authority means a lot to me. I've had this contract with Brooklyn for some time now, even before I joined your faction."

The look on Xion face was priceless and Brooklyn enjoyed every moment of it. She took the folder and open it, flipping through a few pieces of paper before she closed it. "Thank you Ms. Scott." She tap Xion on the arm with the folder, "And you were saying, Xion?"

Veda Scott smiles before adjusting her glasses, "It was my pleasure. You and Mr. Zeros are my favorite clients. You both always keep things exciting. It's never a dull day in the office with you two."

Xion sighs and finishes signing the paperwork for Veda, "I can't believe you, hiring a babysitter to keep tabs on me. I'm going to guess that Veda taking out Fiona was part of that too right?"

Veda nods, "Yes, first order was to neutralize that hussy according to Brooklyn's specifications."

Xion smirks as he turns back to Brooklyn, "So you WERE jealous of Fiona! I KNEW it!"

Veda smiles as she takes her leave, "Apparently you two have much to talk about. I'll make sure there's no more interruptions, sir."

Brooklyn rolled her eyes and shook her head. "I wasn't jealous, I was just making sure my investment was protected." She winked at Veda before she walked off.

"So that's what I am to you? An investment? Still sounds like you were jealous to me."

"Xion be real with yourself, I have been investing in you for over ten years. So sooner or later I'm going to see a return on it. I'm not just a pretty face, I'm a business woman." Brooklyn gave him a pretty smile.

"What kind of return are you looking for? Is this why you're so dead set on me tying you down? Nowadays you know I wouldn't hesitate to tie anyone who pulls that stunt you just did with Veda on me to a train track."

"That's because we are drawn together and we fight it but still we end up here." She sighed softly before she added, "No matter what you say....you need me, Xion. All of the women you have been with are not me. But still you search from me in them and it doesn't last. When you can just be honest with yourself and say that I'm the one and only. I'm smart, cunning, beautiful, strong, and just as much your equal."

After those words, there was silence between them until Xion broke the awkwardness with an eruption of laughter. "You're crazy... you're just as crazy as I am. While we're confessing schemes, I have to come clean on something. Our daughter doesn't hate you - I told her we were playing a game and it was opposite day when you came to visit." He smirked waiting for Brooklyn's reaction.



Right as the words hit home Brooklyn gave pause to what he said to her. He had made her daughter say all those nasty things to her. Brooklyn walked up to only inches from his face and gaze and said softly. "You're the worst.... Xion!" Then she slapped him soundly. "Don't ever play with me like that again." Then without wasting a second she kissed the spot she hit.

He laughed again, "Just some harmless fun. You don't write, you never call, what else were Tiana and I to think? Serves you right for keeping us in the dark all the time what you're up to."

"Maybe....but that is still lame Xion." She rolled her eyes and folded her arms again. 

"Don't be like that. I was hoping we could make this work out... given the circumstances." He folded her arms and placed a small black box into her hands before sitting back down into his chair.

Pressing the corners of her lips together Brooklyn gave him a sour look. Was she pouting? Maybe a little because Brooklyn didn't like being called out on her bullshit. She took the little box and looked at it strangely. "Please Xion, I'm not in the mood for another one of your jokes." The last time she had gotten her hopes up about a gift from Xion, he had embarrassed her on national television. When he didn't say anything Brooklyn sighed before she looked down at the box one more time. Slowly she opened it and gasped softly, "Oh my goodness..." It was a lovely 24 carat gold wedding ring, with a lovely purple diamond, surrounded by smaller diamonds of all different colors. "Is this real? Are you seriously asking me what I think your asking me?"

Xion spun around in his chair to face her with his hands tented together. "As we've both demonstrated over the last 2 years, we're equally matched on multiple levels. We're both devoted to our work. We're both too stubborn to admit that we still love each other until Tiana brought it up during the holidays.
No more games no more tricks. All I'm asking you to do is complete the puzzle that is the fractured pieces that is my heart. You're that missing piece, Brooklyn. Marry me - complete me."

A single tear rolled down the side of Brooklyn's cheek, she was speechless. So long she had dream about this moment and now it was here. Everything that she had wanted was here, ready for her to agree to the madness that was her love for Xion Zeros. She stepped closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him right there. Giving him his answer in the only way that made any sense to her.

"So I'm going to take that as a yes then? I'm willing to forgive and forget our past mistakes and start over as a family. Our daughter deserves both of her parents in her life."

"I think that is the second best idea you've had beside asking me to be your wife." She smirked and toyed with his collar for a moment.
