Los Angeles, California
Radley Ostroff Rehabilitation Clinic

Seeing as I didn't have a match last week, I decided to take my week off and go check on my little sister at the rehab clinic. I visited her more than once a week seeing as I didn't have a place to be. On this night I spent time with her, she needed the companionship. As she sat in her chair, I brushed her long blonde hair with my brush, it was one of the things she loved when we were kids. It had been long since I had done that for her. Finally after some time, I broke the silence in the cold lonely room.

Griffin Hawkins - So...how have you been?

I really wanted to get her home. I really missed her when she was away in France. She gave me a small smile as she sat with her hair being brushed.

Wendi Hawkins - I'm getting better every day.

Griffin Hawkins - That's good to know, so...when do you think you can come home?

With that, her smile fades as she looks down. Obviously she didn't have any good news regarding being released.

Wendi Hawkins - When...Charles told me about what happened with Daddy...I had a breakdown and started screaming. The doctors...had to sedate me. I'm really sorry Griffin...

I could tell she was ashamed. She looked down at her hands as I stopped brushing her hair. I walk over in front of her, putting a hand on her chin to lift her head up gently so she can look me in the face, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Griffin Hawkins - Hey..its okay. Whats happened with Dad is effecting all of us..especially Mom. In time eventually..you'll come home. Right now is a time that we all have to stick together and be a family. For that..I am not giving up on you.

Wendi Hawkins - Thanks Griff...that means a lot.

I went back to brushing her hair, wishing I could get her out of here.

Wendi Hawkins - Why would Daddy do this?

Griffin Hawkins - I honestly don't know...its just..one of those things that people do.

Wendi Hawkins - He could go to jail...I'll never get the chance to talk to him. I'd like to know what his excuse is for seeing another woman behind Mom's back.

For a time, she was always the apple of Daddy's eye. No matter what he did, she could do no wrong..for a long time she refused to believe he had abused us.

Griffin Hawkins - I don't think I'd want to see him at all..

After some silence, she bows her head.

Wendi Hawkins - I'm never getting out of here am I?..

Griffin Hawkins - Don't think like that, you are going to get out of here...

Wendi Hawkins - You don't get it..every morning I wake up, for one minute I think I'm normal..then I wake up and realize where I am...I feel like I'll never come home..

I kneel by her, putting my hands on my sister's shoulders as I look into the eyes of my baby sister.

Griffin Hawkins - Wendi..listen to me..you will get out of here. I may not have always been there for you when we were kids..but I am here for you now..I'm your big brother and its time I start acting like it.

Soon the orderly came in through the door. He looked at me

Orderly: I'm sorry Mr.Hawkins..but visiting hours are over.

Griffin Hawkins - Okay...I'll come back next week Wendi..

We hug before I part from her, I give her one last look before leaving the room. I can only hope she'll be set free from this place..

New York City
The Streets



New York...the big apple..the city that never sleeps. One of the most beautiful cities in the United States. There are many sites to see...so many landmarks..but every city has a dark side to it. When the sun goes down, every creep and lowlife comes out of the woodwork. While New York is known for its sights, it's known for its crime.

What this city needs...is a hero.

That's where I come in, I stand on top of the tallest building looking at everything that goes on below me. The city needs a protector....me. The camera man looks me over as I look down at this city. I step down and go off the roof, no more would citizens be afraid to walk the streets after dark. No longer would the weak and downtrodden be taken advantage of by evil doers. The city of New York will be safe again...

It's time for a new hero to rise.

I walked out of the building looking quite different. I was clad in a red and blue superhero costume with a long flowing red cape. On my chest looked to be a guitar symbol as a black mask adorned my face. By day I was Griffin Hawkins, rock star, wrestler, a friend to all..by night..I was The Red Rocker..going from place to place..protecting the innocent from evil with the power of music. New York needed protection..and I was going to be that protection.

In my first act of Superheroic deeds...I see an old woman across the street, I know its my duty to help the innocent..no matter how small the danger is. I ran across the street looking to help old granny.

Griffin Hawkins - Have no fear ma'am! I'll help you across the street!

I love my job, helping people has always been a top priority to me. I put my hand out to stop the other drivers from coming forward. In time I helped her across the street.

Griffin Hawkins - There you go granny!

Old Lady - I had already crossed the street you big lout! Now I'm back to where I started!

With that, she beats me over the head with her purse until I scatter away from the street. I then notice there looks to be a ruckus going on at the end of the street. An apartment building is on fire, a whole crowd of people looks pretty freaked out, but a middle aged woman looks to be scared the most. I hear people calling her "Loretta" trying to calm her down.

Loretta - Somebody please save my baby!

Griffin Hawkins - Have no fear ma'am! I'll save your baby!

The people looked at me oddly as I ran into the blazing inferno, within time, I came out with a baby in my arms. I handed the infant to the woman. But then I heard a cat meowing.

Loretta - Oh my God..my Cat!

Griffin Hawkins - Have no fear ma'am..I'll save your cat!

I rush back in and brave the fires, soon I come back out with a small kitty cat.

Loretta - Oh..thank you...

..And then I hear the sounds of a Piano playing.

Loretta - Oh dear..someone save my Piano!

Griffin Hawkins - Oh God..

-Some hours later-

I had pushed the couch next to all the assortment of things I saved from her burning apartment, Chairs, a Big Screen TV, Her Bed, her large aquarium..and a lot of other items. I collapsed onto the couch as the fire fighters put out the flaming building. The fire marshall looked down at me.

Fire Marshall - You're a hero son...you did a good job.

I quickly get up, smiling at him heroically.

Griffin Hawkins - Why thank you sir!

Fire Marshall - Who are you anyway?

Griffin Hawkins - Just call me...The Red Rocker..

With that, I make my exit..I feel I have done a good job of helping the citizens of New York.


---------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night, I am standing uptop the roof, still in my Superhero costume, looking out at the moon.

"For the longest time...IWF needed a hero. We all needed somebody to watch out for us. People had turned to the darkness left and right. In an age where people need a protector...many have fallen short in that role. I don't know if it was fate..or by chance..but the people of Insurgency looked to me as some sort of protector of the innocent. And for the last few months I have served that purpose and will continue to serve that purpose. In the past I have slain many villains...Ethan Cage...Ryan Apollos..Storming Raven..and now I look to see two more Supervillains standing in the path of my glory. And like all stories..Good will indeed triumph over evil...

The wind blows past my cape as I look to the bright night skies. My hands are balled in fists as I rest them on my hips.

"First off there is..Gordon Fury...not quite sure if he has any relation to..Nick Fury of Shield...but he seems to be a man..a young man who believes he is ready for the main event.
But take it from a veteran Gordo...you still have a long way to go if you want to make it to the top. I myself have been in the same position as yourself..thinking I can take on the big dogs..I said that The Universe shall be mine..and mine shall be the Universe..and I was soundly defeated. by like every hero...I refused to give up..and fought villain..after villain..until I achieved my status as one of the greatest of all time. That day may come for you one day..but today..not likely. What happens young one..is a small taste of whats to come at Rising Monarchy."

"So..Nick...I mean..Gordon..in this Tag Match..myself and Tiffani will show no mercy. Hell the both of us are real life Superheroes if you ask me. The people we've defeated are endless and the both of you will be added to the list. Soon after, Tiffani is totally gonna whip Diana Logan's stank ass..and I will go through you at Rising Monarchy. This isn't about titles or briefcases, it's about respect. Maybe in this match you'll earn my respect, only time will tell..."

I turn away, walking across the roof.

"And then we have Diana Logan...course when I heard her name was Logan..I wondered if there was any connection with Wolverine...but as I looked at her..I didn't see much of any connection...unless you count that mustache. But she actually seems to refer to herself as Wonder Woman. Now...I've seen Wonder Woman and..this woman looks nothing like her. But she has been making waves in the last few weeks, and she's nipping at the heels of Tiffani Michaels. But the question is..is she good enough?"

It was true..the girl talked tough..but I think she is underestimating Tiffani.

"Sweet Diana..every Heroine has a weakness. Superman has Kryptonite..Batman has...come to think of it he has no weaknesses..the guy has a belt full of everything!..but every Superhero has a weakness...and soon yours will be found sweetheart. Many have underestimated Tiffani in the past..and you just might be added to the long list of souls thrown at her feet. But until then..there's the mixed Tag and I know what you're thinking sweetie..I'm just purely..interested in kicking your ass..nothing more. But I will save that honor for Tiffani."

I look down at the city and continue.

[/color=red]"There is Darkness before the Dawn...and the Dawn is coming in form of Griffin Hawkins. Nothing and no one will stand in my way...[/color]

With that, I turn away, jumping from roof to roof as the camera loses sight of me.

Diana Logan:
OW! Dammit!

The camera focuses in on the lovely Diana Logan as she sweeps her dark hair back with her tiara headband, and she lifts her gaze to the lens with a smile.

Diana Logan:
Griffin, Griffin, Griffin…

She lifts one perfectly-manicured finger to shake it at the camera.
Diana Logan:
I don’t know what you hope to accomplish by calling me ugly. That’s not very heroic of you at all. Or perhaps you’re looking to play the super-villain in our little story? That’s what I’m starting to think with those lecherous gazes of yours, anyway.

Either way, you’ll find that I’m not easily fazed. Or maybe you missed that part when Blyss Lockhart tried to use the same attack. You could at least try to be original, sweetheart.

Diana grins at the camera, and as it zooms out, we can see that she’s standing in Times Square, surrounded by people wearing Wonder Woman t-shirts and tiaras, as well as some fans with Gordon Fury t-shirts.

Diana Logan:
You’re right about one thing, however. Gordon has something to prove, and so do I. And like it or not, we’re going to show the IWF universe exactly what we’re all about. That’s not something that you’re going to be able to prevent, no matter what sort of ugly words you throw at me, or at Fury. Or words about being ugly. It doesn’t really matter.

You don’t have a legitimate complaint against me. Oh no, I’m a woman, so I must be all about my looks. Heaven forbid that someone should call me ugly when I know the truth of what faces me in the mirror every single morning.

The sarcasm in her voice is impossible to miss as she grabs the hands of the teenage girls closest to her, and lifts them.

Diana Logan:
I’m here to tell you, and Tiffani, that nobody is going to be kicking my ass this weekend. Tiffani’s got moves, I’m not going to deny that. She’s the one I have to face in the ring. But I have the moves, and the heart. I have so much heart, and I have so much more to fight for than just my own glory. I’m fighting for women everywhere who believe in themselves. For women who need a little extra help believing in themselves. For these girls.

She looks to the girls whose hands she has lifted in a defiant, victorious gesture.

Diana Logan:
Make way, old guard. Make way for the new, for the bold, for the powerful, for the determined. You don’t stand a chance, and I don’t want to hurt anyone on the way to the top that I don’t have to hurt. I’m a nice person like that. But I’m coming for your title, Tiffani, and after that? Who knows. There are a lot of titles in this company, and not a lot of them have been held by women. Maybe it’s time to change that, too.

The camera zooms even further out as Diana lifts her fist to the air, and the crowd with her cheers.
