The Bat and the Hawke

[Deleted]

Kazue is inside a locker room, pacing. Her black hair, split into two ponytails tipped with red and blue. She adjusts her low cut, red and black vest and tube top as she waits for someone.

Kazue:
Where is he?!

Suddenly the door opens up, which draws her attention. She turns around to see her black clad, militant looking husband. His smeared smile ninja mask in his back pocket and his hair tied up into a tight pony tail.

Kazue:
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!

The Dragon's Goddess storms over to her husband, clearly frustrated.

Pyro:
What are you talking about? I told you, I had something to do before I got here. It's done. I'm here now. What is going on?

Kazue:
KingBear made the SCW Deathmatch a singles match.

Pyro:
That is even better. With Ethan Hawke in the Decimation Title match, it left me without a partner. So what was your panicking for?

The Trickster from the Land of the Rising Sun scowls at her husband, frustrated that he seems nonchalant.

Kazue:
You don't get it? I thought SM Raye got to you. After what we pulled with his mother's remains, you have to know he is out for blood now.

Pyro smiles a little, before holding his wife close.

Pyro:
No need to worry. SM Raye knows I'm in the Deathmatch with him tonight. With where his head is at, he won't stand a chance.

TBC: Hawke

[Ethan Hawke]

The door slowly opens and in walks the other member of this little group, Ethan Hawke. The Bird of Prey walks in with his gear bag rolling along behind him, he stops and sets the luggage upright before stretching.

"Is it just me or does that drive get longer every damn time."

The little birdy looks at Chris and nods.

"Sup my NINJA?"

[Deleted]

The Dark Knight growls at the way Hawke addresses him. He nods his head as he welcomes his partner.

Pyro:
Congratulations on the win last week. Impressive match. Good luck tonight against Envy. You're in for a fight tonight.

Kazue pops out from behind Pyro as him and Hawke talk.

Kazue:
What do you want, Hawke? Where have you been?

Pyro pulls his aggravated wife from getting angry.

Pyro:
Kazue, it's alright. He had his reasons. But I do hope out alliance will continue.

The Twisted Angel turns away grabbing some face paint from his bag as he applies it to his face, making the smeared smile. He then darkens around his eyes to make them look more sunken.

[Ethan Hawke]

The Bird of Prey nods.

"Yeah I'm not sure if that was luck, stupidity, or heart that won out on that..."

The only seemingly to be sane person in the room turns to the fairer of the two.

"Lobbying to keep my spot..."

He points toward his head.

"Damaged goods remember..."

He does the 'keep quiet' sign.

"Technically I should be out of action for at least a month, but forget that noise. I'm going for a championship."

The Diamond turns to Pyro and watches him put on the face paint.

"Ok how much would you hate me if I suggest doing a clown or The Crow thing?"

[Deleted]

The Dark Angel of Pro Wrestling smiles as he listens to Hawke addresses his wife.

Pyro:
We're all a little damaged goods. It's why we do what we do. As for your question, I wouldn't hate you for that suggestion. The last man to use those two looks is an Icon for this sport.

The Crazy Samurai finishes his work as he turns to his partner, as Kazue walks away annoyed at how she was addressed by Hawke.

Pyro:
We are still partners, aren't we? Not sure where you stand after what has happened between me and my good friend, Sebastian. Haven't spoken since the night you got jumped by him.

The Dragon reaches and grabs the mask from his pocket. He puts it to his face, attaching the Velcro at the back. He looks to the mirror again to make sure the smile is lined up properly. Kazue sits on the bench and looks at the two men.

Kazue:
Why do you waste your time? He couldn't stop Sebastian on his own, and left me helpless. I say we get rid of him.

Pyro, finished with his mask, walks over to Kazue and rests his hand on her head.

Pyro:
Sebastian proved to difficult to difficult at the time to predict and I shouldn't have left either of you alone when I knew he was after me. Regardless, he is a helpful hand.

Pyro gestures to his head with a finger.

Pyro:
What doesn't kill you, only makes you stranger. As I have proven. But tonight, you need to focus on Envy and getting that belt. I will win us a shot at the tag team championship.

[Ethan Hawke]

Ethan nods at the remarks his partner made about damaged goods. The words escaping the wise samurai's lips cause a chuckle to come out of the twenty-eight year old's own.

"Sad, but true..."

He turns to Kazue.

"As I recall I took a couple things that were meant for you because you couldn't keep your thoughts on the level. So don't give me the 'oh you left me helpless' crap. You were the one that attacked him and I did what I could to keep him from returning the favor... AND LOOK WHAT I got for it... NO thank you... NO are you alright... NO nothing... So NEXT TIME not that I am hoping on a next time... MAYBE I'll let him take YOUR head off instead."

He turns back to Pyro.

"I mean no disrespect, but you have to admit she had that coming. Now as far as my Decimation title match tonight... Oh yeah I'm more focused than I EVER have been before... And as far as you winning tag title shot... You so sure on that... After the 'fun' I have been seeing you two have... I'm sure what Raye did to me will look like nothing compared to what he does to you... And what makes you so sure that EVPW management will let me hold both belts IF I do win the Decimation Title that is?"

[Deleted]

The Resurrected Warrior glares at Hawke, before stepping between him and his wife.

Pyro:
Family before friends. I will knock your head off just as quick if, trusting you to keep her safe, she gets hurt because you chose to leave her.

Kazue leans to the side of her husband, sticking her tongue out at the Little Birdy. Without looking, Pyro puts his hand on her and pushes her back.

Pyro:
You don't need to provoke him.

The Dark Knight relaxes his posture as he listens to what else Hawke has to say, chucking at the thought of the punishment SM Raye would like to put on Pyro. The Dragon's mannerisms shift form the stern warrior to a more relaxed

Pyro:
Hehehehehehahahahahaha! What fun? You mean dancing with his mother? Or what about vandalizing his house? His kids? Well... That last one was HER idea. I didn't tell her to do that one. Though it is something I would do. HA! Who am I kidding? She played that role perfectly! As for the Death match...

The Dark Jester pats the Diamond in the Rough on the head, laughing as he does so.

Pyro:
Don't you worry that pretty little head of yours. What Sebastian wants to do to me, is nothing that I haven't felt before. His mind won't even be on the match. You see, I have plans. No.. More like ideas, that will get me where I want to go. Sebastian and his slut won't have any clue what is going to happen. I mean, look at what I've done so far, and that isn't even the beginning! You may not know this, but there is no one in this company that can play games as good as I can. Yeah, you see Jaggeroth try it but look what he gets. He has plans. I will be there to ruin them! You see, I don't play by other peoples games. They all get dragged into MY little rabbit hole. My own personal wonderland. I mean, how else do you run out two of the best this company ever had in Brian Brooks and Amanda Hallsworth? Sebastian is nothing compared to those two. The wound he will have when our little game is over with, won't be so easily forgotten!

[Ethan Hawke]

A slight chill travels down the spine of The Head Hunter, but he brushes it to the side.

"Yeah... Yeah I know..."

Ethan shakes his head.

"Yeah, but sometimes your family messes you over more than your friends ever could... You have to admit you know that for a fact Chris... Not trying to hit a sore spot or anything."

He tries to change the mood.

"SO back to my possible dual title run... You sure EVPW management would allow that... IF it comes to it."

[Deleted]

The Dark Jester grins to himself as he sees the uneasiness in the young superstar.

Pyro:
Relax, Ethan. It's just me. Don't need to get so uptight. We're good buddies.

The Resident Ninja wraps his arm around Hawke's shoulder, holding him tightly.

Pyro:
We have had double champions before. They will have double champions now. Two in fact. Whenever they decide to activate a third title, and granted you'll still be holding that pretty little Decimation title by then, we can both be double champions. If not, I have ways. I'll just have to put a little...

He keeps his arm tight around Hawke's neck, but uses both hand to follow the smile on his mask.

Pyro:
smile on their faces, and they'll see it my way. AHAHAHAHA! The joy of being me.

The Dark Knight turns and grabs both shoulders of the Little Birdy and looks into his eyes, Pyro's demeanor changing once again.

Pyro:
Now, you have a title match to be ready for. You fully prepared? I couldn't bring her down last week. You sure you can get the job done, and make us proud?

[Ethan Hawke]

"Heh... It's gonna take little more than a love tap to take me out of this one... And besides... It's not just you, or me that I am fighting for."

His own mouth drops as the words escape the Bird of Prey's lips. He shakes his head and again meets the gaze of his slightly disturbed counter-part.

"I am going out there and will give it everything I have... One way or the other... Win, lose, or draw... That wench is going to feel me in the morning. And I'm not trying to disrespect you or anything, but I am known for making the impossible happen... If I can beat Jerry Nate in a Triple Cage... I'm sure I can handle a six foot tall, green haired, chick... I mean come on... Tables, Ladders, and chairs... Hawke's are know for flying."

Ethan winks playfully. 

[Deleted]

The Mad Man from Canada chuckles to himself as Ethan comments on his match.

Pyro:
That they are, my friend. But they are also known for being knocked with a stone.

Chris releases his friend, straightens out his vest and gestures to Kazue.

Pyro:
You only ever have yourself to rely on in this world. Shouldn't let women get in the way. They tend to cause more problems.

Pyro chuckles to himself.

Pyro:
What am I talking about? Kazue, I want you to stay here. I don't need you near the ring tonight.

Kazue:
Sure you do! What if SM Raye tries something?!

Kazue tries to follow, but Pyro pushes her back.

Pyro:
I'm counting on it. I don't need you to bear witness to what happens out there.

[Ethan Hawke]

"Yeah you would know wouldn't you? I mean your sister... That one chick when you were managing Shoshomaro and Kiba... And your wife is starting trouble for you now. Whether you want to admit to it or not... She was the start of this whole you and Raye thing."

A muffled grow escapes The Dark Jester's lips as he heads out the door and into the hall. The bird of Prey looks at Kazue and shakes his head.

"I gotta go get ready for my title match... Meet up with you guys later."

Hawke heads out the door, his bag rolling behind him as he heads out the door and turns the opposite direction before starting down the hall. Kazue is left alone in the room with the conversation still playing out in her mind.

[Deleted]

The Dark Lady sits, annoyed at how she was spoken too by her husband and Ethan.

Kazue:
What do they know? I haven't caused problems!

Kazue looks towards the door, as if Hawke was still there.

Kazue:
Besides! Sebastian hit me first! I didn't do anything! Jerk-face!

The Jester's Juliet puffs as she sits down on the bench, arms crossed over her chest.

Kazue:
You'll miss me! I'm sure of it!
