Questions had swirled around the internet wrestling community about Alex Yin following Queen Of The Ring. The bubbly squeaky-clean cute speedster was a quick elimination from the tournament and with problems in the USA camp and Oni Kymiku, it was rather unsure what had happened to Alex who disappeared from sight the moment her QOTR match ended. There were even suggestions that she had been kidnapped/tortured/killed by Oni's brother Senji.
In fact, she had been holed up in her apartment for the last couple of weeks. Her hair a greasy tangle on knots, wearing a stained pair of pyjamas under a big red blanket, her eyes dark and shadowed by massive rings. It had looked like had spent the last couple of weeks having substituted sleeping for sobbing. Finally, Cheryl had had enough.
Cheryl: Alex, come on!
Alex doesn't even move from her spot, staring at the TV.
Cheryl: Jesus, I finally find out there's one thing more annoying than a happy Alex, it's an unhappy Alex!
Alex: I'm not unhappy.
Cheryl: Alex, you spent the last two weeks crying your eyes out! I still don't know why!
Alex: You don't want to know. For your own good...you don't want to know.
Cheryl: Alex, I have to solve this.
Alex: No, it's not your problem. It's sweet that you care-
Cheryl: Care? Alex, you practically get carried into the apartment by a huge Japanese guy, muttering about this Oni and then you sit there, barely moving forma fortnight!
Alex: I cared for Chewie...
Cheryl: That's really creepy. He's cleaner than ever and...have you even showered since your match? Changed your clothes? Washed your hair?
Alex: I...
Cheryl: Have a problem. Don't I know it...
There's a kock on the door and Cheryl goes to answer.
Joanna knocked on the door, looking a little bit frustrated and concerned about her friend "Alex Yin, it's me, Joanna Jane Tarzanna, I'm concerned about your well-being" Joanna said as she stood at the door
Kenzi was a mass of confusion after the events of LAW 34. Not only has she lost her best friend, SoLo; but her mentor, Violet Ripley was now a prime suspect in the hit-and-run attack on her mother. She had never felt so alone in her entire life. She wandered aimlessly until she found herself at the door of the last place where there was a familiar and friendly face…the apartment of Alex Yin. The young girl had always been happy and amiable, but as of late her appearances had become fewer and much more fleeting. Perhaps she was also stuck by the sudden desertion of Nyako and SoLo…and in that case, she was in the same boat that Kenzi now found herself in.
She walked to the door and was surprised find it was open. She knocked lightly, “Hello? Alex…it’s me…” Kenzi stopped in her tracks as she saw yet another familiar face there…but one that was not on her favorite person’s list…Joanna Tarzanna. The two of them had been team mates in ALCW as they competed for the tag team titles, but a miscue had occurred and Joanna had hit her…allegedly by accident. Kenzi had sought revenge at Queen of the Ring, but her developing talents were no match against the woman’s superior size, strength, and experience. Losing to Joanna had stung, but that sting was further magnified when Joanna had gone onto Twitter and crowed to the world about how she had ‘mercifully’ ended the match against Kenzi. In her mind, that had been nothing more than a back-handed slap to the face.
Part of her wanted to turn and just leave, but that would have been rude to Alex and Cheryl. Instead, she ignored Joanna entirely, “Hey…if this is a bad time…I’ll just come back later.” In truth, she didn’t want to leave, she just didn’t want to be around the arrogant amazon…but she didn’t want to cause a scene in Alex’s home…especially when she felt that they were both wrapped up in the much of the same circumstances.
Low on patience as she was, Cheryl looked increasingly ticked off as Kenzi Grey arrived on the scene. For a moment, Cheryl threw her hands up as if to ask them to leave...but after a second, she breathed out and stomped back inside the apartment. After a few moments, Cheryl ushered the shambolic Alex outside, holding her nose and spraying down the apartment as she did so.
Alex: *sniff* I...didn't...she...Oni...I...
Almost bursting into tears again, Alex looks at Kenzi and Joanna and, in an almost superhuman effort, forces the slightest smile.
Alex: Thank you for coming to see me. My friends all in one place...the only friends I can rely on around here.
Alex slumps into the corner and looks up at the ceiling.
Alex: I just...I don't know what to do. Why can't everyone just be good to one another? Is that really so...
Alex can't even finish the sentence. Not because of tears but just because she's so immensely exhausted.
Alex: I'm sorry, guys. I'm sure you have your problems. Kenzi, with your mum in the state she's in...I'm being selfish.
Seeing Alex in the state that she was in made Kenzi feel foolish and petty. Kenzi rushed over and put her arm around the girl, ignoring the fact that she smelled like stale corn chips and flat diet soda. “You don’t have to apologize for anything Al! Everyone knows that you are always the first one to be there when someone needs a shoulder to cry on.” She pulled the girl even tighter, kissing her on top of her head. “It’s only fair that we be here for you as well.”
Kenzi rocked the girl back and forth, but she couldn’t get past what she had overheard Alex say when she walked in. The very mention of Oni’s name raised Ken’s hackles. Was she to blame for Alex’s present state? It wouldn’t surprise her one bit…the woman was a menace…and one that would need to be dealt with, sooner or later.
Kenzi pulled back from Alex, looking her in the eyes. “What’s the matter Alex? Does this have to do with Oni? That woman is a complete psychopath! Stay away from her…don’t even have anything to do with her!”
Biting her lip, Alex once again darted her gaze away from Kenzi.
Alex: I don't know what's going on. I'm so confused. Oni has this brother who...he's a really bad piece of work. He sells girls. Young girls. Like....
Alex just nods, hoping Kenzi gets the gist.
Alex: I'm pretty sure he's killed some people and he has this hold over Oni. She's been trying tomfight him but..now she wants to join him...I don't quite get why...I think she's trying to destroy his whole empire from the inside, I tried to play along but...
Alex finally fixes her gaze on Kenzi.
Alex: I think she wanted to sell me to him as bait.
Kenzi stiffened at the mention of this. She was more than familiar with the situation from her talks with SoLo. Oni’s brother was an enormous piece of shit, but that didn’t give her license to do the things she had done in recent weeks. Abuse wasn’t the answer…and Oni threatening Alex, that was just the straw that broke the camel’s back for her.
“Look, I know what’s been going on with Oni and her brother…Song brought me up to speed on it. Hell, for a time, I was even going to help them get her away from them…then she went all exorcist on everyone! I was cool with helping Song…but now that she’s gone…Oni can go screw for all I care!” Kenzi brushed the hair out of Alex’s face and kissed her on her cheek. “I know you are a tough cookie, but her personal life is a bit too crazy for me to deal with…and I suggest that you steer clear of it as well! I am going to deal with Oni in the one place where I have control…inside the ring! If LAW won’t pit me against her…I’ll do it in ALCW!”
Kenzi glanced at Joanna, knowing that like her, she was also a full-time competitor there. She didn’t want the woman’s help…but after the attack she had suffered on the last show…she was in sore need of support. She turned back to Alex. “We are the only friends we have left here now that Nyako and Song are gone. I say that we look out for each other from here on out…what do you say?”
Alex: I still have my friends in Geek Chic. Crystal and Jenny and eventhough she's not wrestling anymore, I'm super-tight with Marianne. But...
Alex looks down.
Alex: I can't fight Oni. Not like that. If she makes it through and takes Senji down, then that's great. Maybe we could even be friends somehow but...I need help. I need support and if Ny and Song are no longer around...
Alex breathes in, trying not to cry.
Alex: I'm gonna need you two. Good guys never say die, right?

Kenzi had never looked at herself as a ‘good guy’ per say, but it had a ring to it the way that Alex said it. Kenzi nodded and gave her a playful hug, “Of course Al!” Kenzi stood up. “Stop sulking around here and get yourself up and get out! Heck, come see me at one of the ALCW shows if you ever get to LA. I always have tickets left at the window for my friends.” She winked at Alex, “If you tell me when you are coming, I can even arrange for a CTN private jet to fly you over and back, okay?”
She looked down and checked her watch. “Speaking of which…I need to fly back out there today…not sure if there will still be a house show tomorrow night or not. Fingers crossed though!”
She turned and looked at Joanna. The woman had remained quiet the entire time, thankfully. She had rubbed her the wrong way since QOTR and Kenzi wasn’t getting over it anytime soon. She walked to the door, rolling her eyes as she passed Joanna. “Keep your head up Alex! We have each other’s backs…always, okay?!” She winked at Alex and walked out, closing the door behind her and leaving Alex with Joanna.
Joanna was probably well meaning, and Kenzi had also grown to accept the fact that when Joanna was blinded and hit her, it was truly an accident. Still, the way she had crowed about beating her at QOTR smacked of bad taste to her…not that she wouldn’t have done the same thing, but Kenzi made no bones about who she was. On the other hand, Joanna seemed like a fake to her. She was pretending to be something and someone she wasn’t and that little Tweet of hers was all the evidence that Kenzi needed to know that she had the woman pegged.
Kenzi headed downstairs, happy to left without getting into a fight with Joanna. Today was about letting Alex know that she was a friend, and that job was done. Now it was time to train for her next match…be it ALCW or one more chance at getting that first win in LAW that kept eluding her.
Joanna was quiet until kenzi left, knowing that kenzi wasn't happy with the Tarzan Girl, but Joanna wanted to make sure her friend since she was in uxw was okay. "Alex, I wouldn't dwell on your loss at queen of the ring, I didn't sit around moping when you defeated me to get in the tournament, I was happy for you when you defeated me. I knew that you could have done great with the championship, but I don't want to see you like this." Joanna said as she sat down next to her friend. "Look, you are an amazing wrestler, you shouldn't let one loss get you down, if I had done what you are doing, I would be dead in the Amazon. Don't give up Alex, be the woman who managed to defeat a opponent who was bigger than you." Joanna said as she wrapped her muscular arms around her friend
Hugging Joanna tight, Alex started to smile again. As she pulled away, she noticed a potato chip in her hair, that had probably been there for several days. Still, she plucked ot from her head and ate it, wincing in instant regret over her decision. She then looked down and her nose twitched.
Alex: Eeeeeew, I smell funky. Gotta go shower.
Stumbling away, Alex then looked at Joanna.
Alex: Thanks. I've still got things to sort out in my head, but just knowing you care means a lot.
Walking back into her apartment and waving goodbye, Alex breathed out.
