Jason sat alone in the gym having just finished what would be his last workout before his APW title match. He had no idea yet as to how that match would be fought, didn't care to be perfectly honest, he just knew that one way or another this would be the match that would end almost a year of hate between himself and Vegas. Yet despite it all, the pain that he had suffered, and some of the cruelest mental games anyone had ever played against him he wouldn't change a thing for one very special reason, Sarah. It was because of all this that he had met her, and six months ago married her. It was also because of Sarah that he would end this tonight, he didn't want to see her caught in the middle of his war with Vegas anymore, so one way or another win or lose this would end with the title match, then maybe he and Sarah could have a normal life together and get things going the way they wanted then to be. One more war and the odds did favor Vegas, he was the champ and more often then not, had won the encounters they have had in the ring, but he proved last year he could beat him when it counted, and as long as he had the breath left in him to stand and fight he would give it everything he had out in the ring at Karma & Effect, because besides ending this war he stood close enough to reach the title he had always wanted, the APW world title. All it would take is one more win and he would have achieved his dream, proved he belonged in this business with the all the true greats, and Vegas would pretty much have to cripple him to prevent that from happening. Jason finished packing his gear and headed for the door in time to see it open as...

[glow=red,2,300]Looks like you're all ready to go champ...[/glow]
Laura stood in the doorway of Jason's locker room, just as he was preparing for departure...A smile on her face as she glared at the man she hoped would help her begin the first stage of what she had planned for the man who had betrayed her mere weeks ago.

Jason looked at Laura and smiled. Hi Laura. I guess I'm about as ready as I can be at this point, any more preparation would just be overkill. Jason let out an amused sounding sigh before speaking again. You know there is something that occurs to me that I should have said to you a while ago and I just never got the chance. I just want to thank-you for all the things you did to help me and Sarah get through everything that happened over the last few months. Don't ask me how but somehow I know this match will end things once and for all, and the funny part is to give you an honest answer whether or not I come out of this with the title I have already won in my eyes, because no matter what I still have Sarah with me after this is all said and done. |

Laura smiled slightly and genuinely as she slung the bag in her hand over her shoulders, nodding her head to Jason in response. It was true that she had helped the young couple out more than a few times along the way during this whole ordeal, and now just as Jason had stated, it seemed to be coming to a close. Perhaps one of the best "feuds" to date some would say, yet she knew Jason as well as Mr. Vegas would refer to it as much more than such a word. She replies...
[glow=red,2,300]Well Jason, you as well as Sarah are VERY welcome. I wouldn't have done anything different if I could go back either. Actually now that I think about it, I might have done more considering where I'm at right now.[/glow]
She pauses as he voice as well as her vision seem to trail off a bit, obviously and understandably pondering the events of the past few weeks. She then forces a farce of a smile as an attempt to not let on to Jason how she was feeling at the moment and replied...
[glow=red,2,300]But hey I guess if this IS the end, at least you two can get on with your lives once and for all.[/glow]

Jason nodded his head at Laura's words. Yeah we'll finally be able to get on with things in a much more normal fashion. He let out a bit of a laugh then. Well at least as normal as they can get for a married couple that both work as professional wrestlers. Say I was throwing a welcome home party for Sarah next week after the PPV, your more then welcome to come if you want I'm sure she would love to see you there.

Her head lowers slightly hearing of the invitation given by Jason. She thought it was nice how he felt as if he had to do such a thing for her would be sister in laws "homecoming" so to speak. But the more and more she thought about it...The more she realized that after Karma & Effect...Regardless of the outcome between Vegas and Jason...Regardless of the outcome between Destiny and she...She truly had no idea where she would be when the dust settled. True enough that scared her a bit when she thought of it but she knew without a doubt there was no turning back now.
[glow=red,2,300]Well...Thanks Jason, I do appreciate the offer but...I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it actually. I'll...Have to see. I hope you understand?[/glow]

I understand Laura, your in a really rough spot right now. He was quiet for a second before speaking up again. For what it's worth I think you should try and stick things out here, if not as a manager then as a wrestler. You really would be missed by people if you weren't around here anymore.

She had been told that a dozen times since all of this started and she had appreciated each and every gesture from people abroad. But...They didn't understand what she was feeling concerning all of this. It was so much deeper than just managing or wrestling. Her foundation had successfully been destroyed almost and to be honest, she just couldn't see herself here, or in any other promotion after this all came to a head. She felt as if she was fastly approaching the end of the road as far as this business went.
[glow=red,2,300]Thank you Jason. I know you mean that, but...That's not what you need to be thinking about right this moment. You've got a job to do out there tonight and we're all gonna be cheering you on. I didn't do what I did to see you lose. Make Sarah proud and take what should be yours tonight Jason. By any means necessary.[/glow]

Jason knew she was right of course his mind should be on the match at hand. Don't worry Laura I know what I have to do tonight, and it will be the only thing on my mind until they ring that bell and I walk out with the APW world title. I've wanted this for a long time and if I pull it off by beating Vegas for the title then that will make the victory all the sweeter. This time I intend to show Vegas that I'm alot more difficult to deal with when I don't have anything personal to get in the way of things, this time I intend to show him just how focused a weapon I can be when one of the things I've always wanted in my career is finally within reaching distance.

Those were the words she wanted to hear. She smiled as much as she could even though she could feel her eyes welling up slowly but surely. The tears were always inches from showing themselves it seemed. Especially over the past few weeks. A quick wipe of her eye ensues as she continues on, following a few sniffles.
[glow=red,2,300]And I wish you the VERY best Mr. Cross. You deserve it more than anybody. But...[/glow]
A deep breath is exhaled as she tightens her grip on the bag in her hand, turning her focus down the corridor where there seemed to be quite the amount of roster members coming and going, then back to Jason as she once again gave a farce of a smile. She extends her hand to him as she gives her departing words...
[glow=red,2,300]Good luck Mr. Cross. And tell Sarah I said the same to her. I'll be watching the both of you tonight. And if I'm not around for the party next week? Well...Ask her to please forgive me okay?[/glow]

Jason takes Laura's offered hand. I'll make sure to tell Sarah you wish her good luck Laura and don't you worry if you can't make it to the party we both understand why. Good luck Laura I wish you all the best, and I know Sarah does to. Jason smiled at Laura not sure if he would ever see her again after tonight, and with what she was going through he wasn't sure if he could blame her if she didn't come back. You ever need anything you know you can always call me and Sarah, don't forget that.

As the handshake ends, she steps away, still feeling the welling of the tears in her eyes, slinging the bag in her hand over her shoulder as she turns slightly to begin her departure...
[glow=red,2,300]Thanks Jason, thanks a lot. I'll be sure to keep that in mind. But...I have a match to prepare for and I'm sure you have things to handle as well so...Until or...IF we meet again...Take care...[/glow]
And with that, she sends one more smile in his direction as she turns and begins her trek down the corridor towards her locker room for the night. The past few weeks were weighing heavily on her right now and emotions were running high as they could possibly go. She knew that tonight would be the single most determining factor to her having a future in this business. She just hoped things came out the way she wished for them to and that at the end of the night? She WANTED to stay in this business because at this very moment...She didn't.

Jason just watched Laura walk down the hall, he didn't really know what he could possibly do or say at this point to help her out. Jason did decide one thing though win or lose he was planting his spear in Vegas's ribs at least once for Laura before the night was over.

Sarah's eyes remain stuck on Laura making her way down the hallway towards her own locker room. She wanted badly to rush to her and offer some sort of support seeing as how she had done the same for she and Jason over the past 8 months but knew that this may have been one of those moments that a woman just needed to be alone with her own thoughts. So she decided not to and instead continued her way towards the door of Jason's locker room where he stood watching the same, surprising him with her arrival.
Well tiger, tonight's the night. Hope you're ready for an uphill battle? Knowing Cross he has something up his sleeve. |

Jason smiled as he caught sight of Sarah. He can only nod his head in agreement with what she says when she speaks. Thats the thing with Vegas though baby, he always has something up his sleeve, I'll just have to deal with whatever it is he has in mind, making it all the sweeter when I walk out of the match the new APW world champion. I just want you to know that no matter what tonight is going to be the end of this baby, after this match I'm done with Vegas it's time to move on so you and I can live the life we want.

She smiled back to him as she makes her way closer to him, wrapping her arms around him as much as her small arms could, glancing up into his eyes as she speaks...
I know tiger. I'm not worried at all about tonight. I think we all know that this whole ordeal is coming to its end finally. But I have to let you know something as well. Even if you don't walk out with that title, I don't want you to think you've failed or anything. As long as you're by my side everyday of my life I'll be happier than you could know. You're already a champion to me baby. |

Jason smiled as he listened to Sarah's words. Funny thing about what you just said Sarah is that I told laura pretty much the same thing when she was here. I told her that title or not come the end of the night as far as I was concerned, I've already won because you'll still be with me and that means more to me than anything else. Jason let out a small laugh. Mind you I'm still taking that title from Vegas, if only to see the look on his face when he realizes that he lost it to me of all people.

Sarah giggled slightly hearing the words from her beau. She hoped that he was right in his assumptions concerning tonight's match up and as they turned and began making their way into the locker room, she commented...
Well...Even so...I think I can at least give you some..."Motivation" so to speak...Tee Hee...
She enters the room, as Jason closes the door behind them and once he turns to face her once again, his eyes quickly come in contact with the devious look upon hers as she had already began removing the shirt from her person, raising it up over her head, showing the smile on her face...
Well Mr. "Living Weapon"...Let's unload some of that ammo before the show...
