An Unexpected Return [Rampage's Newest Acquisition]

[Deleted]

    Alexandra had just arrived at the EWC offices, it was a new day, a new company, yet she had seen several names she knew.  Tanja Deveraux and then she saw it, Phoenix Winterborn, it was hard to miss the poster of him, holding his newly won championship. She let out a soft chuckled and crossed her arms over her chest, shaking her head.

    "That crazy son of a bitch, he finally did it.  Way to go Firebird."  

    She rolled her eyes and continued to walk into the building.  She scanned through the people as she did, before her eyes fell on him and the girl standing with him.  Walking closer she spoke up, loud enough that it wasn't a secret that she was there.

    "Well, well, somethings never change."

    Phoenix Winterborn and Alexandra Calaway had known each other for a very long time.  The two had been enemies, team mates, friends and rumors had often spread about the two of them having been involved at one time, though both denied it and still do to this day.  But the real truth was something only the two of them knew for sure.  She stood there in front of him, waiting to see what he might say to EWC's newest acquisition for Rampage. 

[Primetime Phoenix Winterborn]

Phoenix cocked an eyebrow, hiking the championship up on his shoulder.

"The more things change, the more they stay the same. Right, Alexandra? Always have to be the center of attention wherever you go, don't you? I'm not entirely sure why you're here, but I have a meeting with the office soon regarding some media appearances for Rampage. I'm assuming you signed with Friday nights as well, judging by the eyeshadow."

He motioned at her face, pointing out her makeup for the day.

"Doesn't matter." He heard a knock on the door behind him. "That's my cue. Me and my business manager have something to attend to. Just keep this in mind. This place is different from where we came up in the business. No one is here to protect you, or me. You had better step your game up, Ms. Calaway. There's blood in the water here, and if you want this?" He pats his title with a smirk. "One, get in line. Two, earn it."

With that, Phoenix and Marissa began to walk into the office of Grizzly Duggan.

    She let out a chuckle, crossing her arms over her chest.  Rolling her eyes, Alexandra licked her lips and nodded.  Same old Phoenix he had always been, but now there was some sort of ego on him.  It was fitting.  Finally he got that ego he needed, it seemed his little business Manager had issues from the way she eyeballed Alexandra.  Her gaze falling from Alexandra to Phoenix, then back to Alexandra.  When Phoenix turned to go into the office, Alexandra placed her hand on his shoulder.

    "You think I haven't noticed that.  You have a strap.. otherwise this would be just like every other company we came up in.  Look, I don't need your protection.. nor am I offering mine." She looked over at his business manager.  "Stay in your kennel little girl.. if you know what's best for you." She focused back on Phoenix.  "I just came over here to say congratulations.. and best of luck in your match.  And now that I've done that.. it's time for me to go stir up some trouble.  You see.. that shiny piece of metal on your shoulder.. isn't my target right now.. but know this.. the day is coming Firebird.. and when it happens.. you'll now."


    She smirked with a small laugh and started to walk away, before turning and continuing to speak.

    "And Phoenix..  Be dismissive all you want.. but we both know I'll be stuck inside that head of yours."  


    With that she walked away with a sway of her hips, leaving him with his business manager, standing in the doorway of Grizzly's office.
