Angel Arena
12:40 A.M.

As the arena is usually locked, Drew is sitting in the gym portion of the arena in his training gear, he is lightly sweating. With his knee still not a hundred percent, it probably was not his brightest decision to be here right now working on it but you see; Drew has never been too keen on just sitting on the sidelines. Granted; he has no choice but to be out of action due to not only doctors orders but the fact that he also just recently had the staples removed from his left knee. Sitting on the edge of the ring, he looked down at his left knee – the pretty thick scar running down it as he had heard that this would be the end of his long and many would say illustrious career. Swallowing hard, he dropped down from off of the canvas landing on the concrete floor; walking over to a nearby weight bench, he sat down on it and placed his feet in the proper position – this machine was designed to keep your legs strong, Drew’s knee however was not completely healed but why risk it?

He loves this business, it was not easy for him to watch everybody else be in the ring and him just stand from the sidelines watching on – was never his style! The risks were definitely dangerous, but if you asked Drew – it was well worth it, especially if he was able to get back into the ring sooner.

Time would tell if his career was truly or not but in the meantime?

He would most certainly try to get his body back into wrestling shape.

Angel Arena
1:00 A.M.

She steps from the shadows near the locker room area of the training facility. Her blonde hair shimmering softly in the light that shies from the above neon exit sign as it send a red glow over the area. She quietly moves closer to the weight bench, her eyes never moving from the line from her to him as she closes the distance. She stops beside the weight bench and stands quietly.

She could see the strain of thought that he is in based on the markings of his face. She could usually read his mood quite well and she knew at this point in  time that fact was much more true as she slips a leg over the weight bench and straddles his lap. She places both her hands above his and leads them to place the weight bar back in place.
He looks up at her and she eyes him with sympathy, wishing she knew how to help him more than she has. She succeeds at always being here for him but sometimes, times like this, it seems like it is just not enough. She leans forward, her face mere inches from his, her eyes looking into his with pure love and concern for him. She slips her hands inside his, their fingers wrapping around one another as she holds his hand securely and he returns the squeeze.
It will work out baby, you can overcome this, you have beaten so much more than this in your career. Don't lose faith baby.
Once her words are out she leans forward and finds his lips with her in a sensuous and loving kiss. After a few seconds they break the kiss and she looks at him.
I love you Drew and no matter what is eating away at your mind your career is far from over.
She watches him contently waiting for his response as she sits on him her hands still entwined with his.

“My knee just isn’t holding up like it used to...”

Lowering his head, he stares down at the floor definitely in deep thought. He has never been out of action this long so it killed him to not be in action anymore; especially since his knee was not healing as good as they had hoped. Having his head brought up by Becca’s soft hand, he stares into her beautiful eyes; he is definitely trying to defy these odds – even though they are harder than usual. Sitting there in what seems like an eternity, she talks to him to try comforting him.

“... Drew, baby; we believe in you – after all, they can’t defeat Superman!”

Smiling and shaking his head, he takes in a deep breath trying to believe but it was clear by the expression on his face – especially to Becca who knew him perfectly well that he was in doubt, that he knew he had a weakness.

“I don’t know about that anymore honey; I mean, the doctors have said that my knee isn’t healing as well as they had hoped – and I’m not used to being away from the ring. This is the first time in my career that I am helpless, that I can’t just fix it or defy the doctor’s orders.”

Taking in a deep breath and exhaling out a sigh, it was clear he was torn mentally. He lowered his head again, this time looking at his scarred knee – he said nothing more as Becca knew that he was trying to fight these demons.

She leans back slightly, just enough to cause him to reach up and grab her by the hips to prevent her from falling backwards and off his lap. She quickly wraps her arms around his neck. She feels the tension that flows through his body and her heart breaks, knowing that all he had worked his entire life for was at stake here.
Baby how many times have you heard someone say that your career is over or that it's time for you to hang up the boots?
Far to many to count Becca, but this time just feels different, this time I don't want to but I cant help but believe them. Its been so long and I just don't know what to think.
And how many of those times have you brought yourself back to the very top and shoved their words down their throats?
Again to many to count.
She leans her forehead against his and in a soft voice she speaks.
It may not seem like it, and it may not feel like it right now, but baby you will overcome their odds just like you always do and you will be back in that ring where you belong, because you are a very strong man who allows nothing and no one to hold him down. And if you cant believe in yourself right now then me and your fans and your children believe enough for you.
I just don't know Babe.
You don't have to know Love, I do, and that's all you have to believe in. I love you, I am your wife, and I will never steer you wrong. I will never say anything that you cant believe in and I will never say anything just to say it. You mean everything to me and because of that I will do anything in my power to make sure you are always happy. Don't believe in yourself if you cant right now, believe in me because you will always be able to do just that.
She watches him contently waiting for his response as she sits on him her hands still wrapped around his neck and her forehead still laying against his as his hands trail over her back and her hips.

“I’ll always believe in you honey, you, our beautiful children and Mack...”

This puts a smile along Becca’s face, he then continues to speak.

“... I know that I have more support from you guys and my fans than any other wrestler on the planet. I guess it’s just hard hearing how I’m not healing like I used to, especially seeing how the very company that I love and have helped build is going to re-opening its doors and I might not be ready health wise to step back into that ring.”

Still holding her on his lap, he was calm yet still fighting his inner thoughts and feelings regarding this situation.

“I don’t know, I still have a long ways before I’m ready but – I’ll just keep working harder and harder until I’m ready...”

Going quiet, he stares into his loving wife’s eyes. He knows how much she loves him, just as much as he loves her in return. It would be a long and gruelling journey to get ring ready but he was determined, and definitely ready to get back into a wrestling ring.

She smiles, she knows that he hasn't forgotten anything but she also knows that he is well aware that she is worried and most of all that she is right here with him now and forever and he knows he can talk to her about anything.
You may not be ready right this minute to step back in that ring my love, but there is plenty other stuff you can do for PWT. You have this right here...
She motions her hands to the Training facility they sit in.
Just because you can't wrestle right now doesn't mean you cant help with the n00bs we have recruited, that was the whole point in recruiting them. To give more than just the old skoolers a place to call home and to help them to believe in themselves while teaching them to be the best they can be.
She lowers her arms to his shoulders and begins to massage them softly as she continues.
Not to mention we still have Shockwave, between you and Rhya I know it can be what it once was, one of the best shows in the industry. We are beginning this Era with so much new talent, some old talent as well, and I am quite sure with all that you know of the business we can get to the top of this Industry again. 
She watches him contently.
There is so much more to you than just an in ring active competitor. You have the brains and the brawn for this business and we can find something to occupy you until you are ready to re-enter the ring.
She smiles as she kisses him softly.
As far as staying in shape... well I have a few ideas for that as well...
She smiles flirtatiously as her hands slide down and over his chest and she leans in and kisses him deeply and passionately. He returns her kiss as his hands trail up and under her shirt and the scene slowly fades out.
