“We’ve done this dance before and between me and Serenity and now we’re heading into a Pay per view where I’m going to be facing my erstwhile partner with a belt, you might as well paint a target on me and wait for the Savage Kingdom to rip me to pieces for the 1.2.3 so I’m all softened up for Legacy.”
We fade in on Nat currently stretching it out in Gym gear but showing small signs of wear and tear, a little K-tape on her shoulder , ice and tiger balm in shot as she lowers herself to the floor with a small smirk and looks at the camera.
“I ain’t dead yet and it’s gonna take more than that, But lets front Serenity I’m counting on your ego to make sure you show up, counting on your whole Pride deal to make sure you don;t want to lose this, but…I don;t know exactly what Verona has told you, as far as I'm concerned…I’m outnumbered and outgunned here.”
She keeps stretching along one of her legs, bending at the waist with a slight grimace as she makes a small sound.
“But I’m gonna show up anyway, foolish an endeavor it might be, Naive as it might be, pointlessly optimistic as it might be, because If nothing else it shows I’m as good as my word, I don’t despise you Serenity…I just think you sold out because you saw it as an easy route ahead.”
Natasha paused, taking in a breath as he righted herself and moved over to her other leg as it stretched out stretching the other way
“So here we are, we can’t stand each other, in another universe we coulda been friends I think if your attitude was better, if you weren't such an insufferable bitch you’d be standing next to me and Charlie and Rini I guess, maybe.”
She shook her head and moved back to centre and closed her legs together to move to her knees and then post herself onto her head to start working her neck as the K tape started to peel off and she didn't seem to mind, she’d pop up off her head in a flip over to land on her feet and then sit down again.
“Whatever, like you give a flying hair about my opinion of you outside of calling you nicknames , You’re good at this gig Serenity that’s what bothers me the most , you sat at ringside you got your free scouting opportunity and all it did was make you sound all the more sulky for having the gall to be in your way.”
She rubbed at her eye brow with a long, slow sigh.
“This is nothing against the Kingdom ,they’re good at what they do, and I’m sure They’ll use this opportunity to rub salt in the wound, they’ll take every inch I give them but, I’m still gonna wrestle, I’m not going to walk away, even if I know the outcome, even if I know what might happen, because Every meeting with my peers makes me better, every victory is a banquet, every loss a lesson, hell some of my victories are lessons.”
She took a little time to look at the peeling k-tape and sigh, plucking at it with a wince as she gets hairs and skin leaving red rash on her skin as she smirks to the camera.
“But sometimes you gotta suffer to make your point to walk the road on the inevitable march of progress, sometimes you have to stick it through even knowing it;’s going to hurt…the trick as T.E Lawrence said is not minding that it hurts.”
Nat manages to chuckle to herself shaking her head.
“The last time I face the Kingdom it was The widow and Majinn, This time I get to face the King of clubs himself, Another giant of a man who had no problems laying the hurt on people in the name of progressing his goals,and that’s you Stephen are the reason I want to stay in this match.”
She grins a little more as she looks directly at the camera.
“New face, least to me new person to tangle with somebody who on paper I might not ordinarily stand a chance with but, people were saying that about Tytus weren't they? I gotta test my limits…I gotta know and who better to test them on than with yourself? I ain’t scared. Maybe I should be…But I’m not.”
She stretched once more in her seated opposition eyes shifting form the camera as she gives that self assured smile.
“After last week I took my Best friend to a draw, meaning naturally I wanna ask for 30 minutes next time. Hell give us 60! I’ll happily try and take up whole pre-advert segment on TV or Pay per view my point is…I gotta know, Be it the kingdom, Serenity, hell if he could pull himself off his pedestal I’d wrestle Warren for the shiniest of shinies ....But the IWF isn't ready for that conversation.. That's why we have The women’s belt.”
She shook her head and bit her lip.
“But this week I'm looking to take ya’ll to town, it might be naive..It might even seem like a fool's errand but I gotta try, Both as a test and as a warning..”
She took a long, slow breath and straightened up nodding.
“I’ll see you there, huh?”
Fade out.
The touch of the water numbed the aches and pains as she stared up at the ceiling, eyes counting the imaginary stars she drew on the white plaster as the podcast sang into her ears.
Everything hurt, the months and months and the instant travel were starting to nag just a bit , nothing terrible but going the full stretch with Charlie was a small reminder she was in fact still human.

Everything hurt, the months and months and the instant travel were starting to nag just a bit , nothing terrible but going the full stretch with Charlie was a small reminder she was in fact still human.
She smiled to herself as the voices rattled away talking about comics news reviews ideas, it was a small bastion away from the stress of the drama.
Truth was though, she wouldn't have it any other way. As stressful as it was sometimes she thrived on it.
It fed her piece by piece and as she slipped out the ice and water she’d dry herself and idly moved , tendons and aches pulling at her but she kept it flowing , grabbing the K-tape she would move out dressed in silks and her hair drying and slowing up as she approached Hannah.
“Hey, uh…Can I beg a favour?”
Hannah would look up at the roll of Fabric in Nat’s hand and she expressed a note of concern.
“Everything ok?”
Nat felt herself nodding as she slowly sat down to expose her shoulder even as she spoke.
“Ain’t the years it’s the mileage Hannah, nothing dangerous but I could use a rest day.”
She chuckles a bit.
“Remind me that I said that when I strap up to work out next time.”
Hannah poked her tongue out as she responded.
“Do you think you’ll actually listen if I do?”
Natalie chuckles.
“This time around? I just might.”
Hannah started to latch the tape on, between her cousins, Charlie and now the small army of psychopathy she had decided to adopt as her own, Hannah had learned -something- to do with Medicine and sports science too, always a quick study.
“You’ve done this few times.”
Hannah smirked a bit at Nat’s statement.
“Well, between the bunch of you somebody has to make sure your insanity can continue..”
Nat felt a little better as the pattern was slowly completed and laid on as Nat chuckled.
“You love us really, especially when that payslip comes through.”
Hannah managed a small shake of her head.
“Well, sometimes I wonder …I could have done a start up..”
Nat smiled and sighed gently as Hannah finds a knot.
“You could but why take the path most trodden? I heard you spinning with my sister a little while back. No … You belong here and are just as crazy as the rest of us.”
Hannah raised her brow at that ready to challenge Nat who simply stated.
“Look,as much as we drive you nuts, you’re still here, you’re till watching and you’re learning all the dirty tricks of the game of business quietly form some of the best to do it, somebody told you this would be a failure,…that was it you were in…am I right?”
Hannah shook her head and helped Nat throw the robe back up as she spoke playfully.
“Not a soul.”
Nat chuckles and smiles softly.
“My lips are sealed, but you got that same streak in you we all do, can’t tell you no, you see it as a challenge.”
Hannah nudged Natasha playfully as she stood up.
“You are dangerously perceptive Natasha.”
Nat started to move out the room with a smile.
“Us little sisters gotta hang together.”
Good talk, good bonding.
