Jaylynn heard pyrotechnics going
off and for a moment, she thought that last night had been a bad
dream. That she was really at Raw. Only when she opened her eyes
and felt the stinging pain in her face did she realize that it
hadn't been a bad dream.
She turned and saw CharLee sitting
next to her in a hospital chair, her eyes focused toward the
wall. Jaylynn followed her eyes and saw she was watching Raw.
Jaylynn moved her hand around to
get CharLee's attention and then motioned that she needed a
drink. CharLee handed her a glass of water, and Jaylynn
gratefully sipped at it.
"Sorry, I had to watch. I want to
see how they are going to deal with what happened to you."
CharLee said, motioning towards the TV. Jaylynn gave her a
questioning look. "It's all over the internet. About Shane being
arrested and getting bailed out. About how you are still in the
hospital. They'll have to explain something since the Pay Per
View built up for a huge storyline for you, Lita, Trish and
Sinful." CharLee explained.
Jaylynn nodded and her eyes
focused on the TV. They were showing Hurricane arriving at the
arena "earlier that day". Terri rushed up to him. "Hurricane,
tonight you have a match against Jeff Hardy. A match you
requested. Why did you ask for the match?" she asked.
Hurricane appeared to think on it
for a moment. "Mr. Jeff Hardy stepped out of line with Angel
last week. First beating her up and then breaking her heart.
Hurricane just asks, Whatsupwitdat?" he said. "But Hurricane,
why are you defending Angel? You seem to have no ties to her
whatsoever. Whatsupwitdat?" Terri asked.
"It's simple Citizen Terri."
Hurricane said before removing his jacket. Instead of his usual
Green Lantern t-shirt, he had on an Angel t-shirt. The dark blue
shirt had a picture of Angel in mid-moonsault with a scribbled
pair of wings etched on to her back. The white-clad figure was
the only image on the front.
Hurricane turned around and the
camera zoomed in on the words, "So Good, It Should Be A Sin."
with a copy of her Angel signature, a halo hanging off the 'L'.
The crowd roared their approval and when they quited, Hurricane
spoke again. "Angel needs a Superhero in her corner to avenge
the wrongs that have been commited against her."

Stephanie banged her palm against
her forehead in frustration. "We have to think of something to
tell the fans. Most of them know that Jaylynn is in the
hospital, injured, becuase of a fight with Shane. Jaylynn might
be able to start making appearance again, but not wrestling, in
a week. But we'll still have to explain it. She'll still have
bruises and makeup will only cover so much of it." Stephanie
told the writers gathered around the conference table.
"What do you suggest?" one of the
writers asked. Stephanie glared at him. "If I had any
auggestions, I'd be suggesting them. As I see it, we have two
options. We can play it off as Angel getting jumped from
somewhere in the back, we'd have to use a body double for that
because Jaylynn is in no shape to do any of that. Or we can
admit it to the fans. Be honest." Stephanie said.
"I think we should play this the
same way we did the Stone Cold situation when he walked out. Use
it to our advantage. Do Confediental shows on it. Put it in the
magazine. Use it." Stephanie heard a voice rumble from behind
her.
Stephanie turned to look at her
father, Vince McMahon. "But that could do more harm to Jaylynn.
Hasn't she been through enough?" Stephanie asked. "Stephanie,
this is business. Don't make it personal. Now, use it." Vince
commanded.
