Nikki's hotel room, Saturday morning

Nikki awoke to Alexa still asleep with a bucket near her side of the bed. Nikki played nurse to both Alexa and Vade after the events of last night. 

Nikki: Oh Lexi, you really shouldn't have done that. Taking out your problems on Ryan on the bottle. 

She then walked outside of the bedroom to see Vade sleeping peacefully with his bruises lightening up. 

Nikki: Tough as nails, as Killy said. 

Vade: - wakes up - Please keep your voice down Nikki.

Nikki: Vade! You're up.

Vade: Yeah, a bit bruised but at least able to move a bit. 

Nikki: Look Vade, I will be buying food outside. Can you tend to Lexi while I'm gone?

Vade: It's fine. 

Nikki: No resisting now?

Vade: Nikki, you're the only one of us who didn't get too drunk or banged up last night. I understand the situation. Now go buy us food, wouldn't want a hungry Goddess on us now.

Nikki: Ooh Vade with the making funny now. Alright, tend to the Goddess now. - leaves the room -

Vade then went inside the bedroom to see Alexa still asleep. He saw Alexa sleeping peacefully despite what occurred some hours ago. He took out the bucket and cleaned it up. He then took a damp cloth from the bathroom and cleaned up Alexa's mouth. Alexa still remained asleep.

Vade then went to the kitchen to make Alexa coffee. The smell was fragrant enough to awaken the Goddess of WWE. Alexa then began to sit up and saw a bottle of water and aspirin. She took the aspirin and drank the water, making her feel a bit better. Vade then walked in with a cup of coffee and saw that Alexa had woken up.

Vade: It seems you're awake. Feeling okay?

Alexa: Oh.. - sees Vade in a tank top and jersey shorts - Did we...?

Vade: Oh - sets down the cup of coffee on the nightstand beside Alexa - No, we didn't do what you think we would. But, you threw up on me when I carried you back from the bar.

Alexa: Oh no! What happened?

Vade: - sat on the edge of the bed - Some drunks nearly had their way with you. But I saved you before things went further South with that quartet of drunken fuckers. We aren't allowed back to that bar but the least the owner did was pay for our drinks. I paid for the broken tables and fixtures caused by those idiots.

Alexa: - eyes widened - oh no. Vade, I'm so sorry. I didn't know I caused so much trouble for you all. 

Vade: Well, it was only me. Sheamus did help me when he handed me a pool cue to knock one of those drunks off you. 

Alexa: - in tears - I was terrible, now was I? 

Vade: No, it was the alcohol. Don't ever blame yourself for it. Whatever you are going through, remember what I said, I am here, of course with respect of boundaries. 

Alexa: - looks to the distance - Does he care for me or still do like you?

Vade: - taken aback - well, only he can answer that. Not me. But I only care for you as a colleague does to another since we are on the same roster and show. I can't bear to see a fan favorite or at least a popular star be this down. Even coming from one so low down the cards.

Alexa: Vade,...

Vade: Alexa - stares at her eyes - oh, here's your cup of coffee. Nikki is out buying is some food.

Alexa: Awfully nice of her - notices his torso - but you look bad yourself! Are you okay?

Vade: I've had worse. Battlescars from a bunch of drunken fools trying to turn the Goddess into mortal at her weakest. Pathetic bastards - winces in pain a bit -

Alexa: Vade, I had no idea....I'm betting

Vade: You also kissed me while drunk. - looks away - 

Alexa: Oh no... Ryan must not know of...

Vade: I do hope he shows up soon. He must be worried sick about you.

Alexa: Actually... we were in an argument the night you saved me from nearly getting run over.

Vade: That was him?

Alexa: - sadly nods - He promised to pick me up, but he was always busy with his gigs. I even questioned if I do matter to him ever since we began dating. Why am I telling you all this? I must be silly now to you huh?

Vade: No, Alexa, you're at your most vulnerable. Ryan, if he were a real man should at least learn to compromise or strike a balance. Look, I have never been in a relationship, but anything, trust has to be there. That's all I can say on the matter.

Alexa: Vade, if only...

Nikki then arrived to see Vade and Alexa on the bed talking.

Nikki: - smirks - Oh, am I interrupting something now? - giggles -

Vade: Uh, no Nikki. Alexa is now all well.

Alexa: What did you get us?

Nikki: Oh I got us some burgers, fries and shakes. I ordered more fries for you Lexi, because of the alcohol you took in hours ago.

Alexa looks down in shame and pouts. Nikki laughs.

Nikki: Don't scare us again like that lassie! Good thing Vade here knew how to bar brawl or else Sheamus, Big E and Drew might join the suspension list.

Vade: I'm getting suspended?

Nikki: No, I talked it out with Hunter. Well he also called Sheamus, Drew and E and they backed you up. You're not getting suspended, but you're not competing in a match on the go-home show on Smackdown. You will only have an in ring segment with Big E, speaking of, E wants you to call him as soon as possible for your little promo warfare. 

Vade: Got it.

Nikki: As for you lassie, we're now going to be given a legit feud, although a bit of a late start, we're going to be feuding with Jessica and Cassie (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce)

Alexa: The Iiconics?

Nikki: Yes Lexi. But given what happened to you, I will be in the ring for more minutes going up against them to set up our feud for the next few months next week.

Alexa: I can tell this will be quite a fun rivalry.

Nikki: All I'm hopin' is a tag team title opportunity against Bayley and Sasha will be on the cards for BlissCross AppleSauce

Vade: - suddenly enters the room - Already talked it out with E. Well in storyline, we will play out the incident in the bar so I will be "suspended" per Hunter. So I will be doing a pre-taped vignette that will play after his match. But this will be done at the back part of the arena, so I need to sneak in incognito.

Nikki: Is this a roundabout way of asking if you want to ride with us? - giggles -

Alexa: Nikki, I think it's time I drive us.

Vade: You can drive?

Alexa: Well yes, but I guess I have depended so much on Ryan being there for me that I forgot to do things for myself too.

Nikki: - smiles a bit - That's the Goddess of WWE that I know! Alright, I'm going to throw out by food wrappers. - steps out of the room -

Alexa: Oh, that's a lot of fries...Vade, mind if you?

Vade: I am used to it. - eats the fries with Alexa - Although you need this more for the alcohol to leave your body given that...

Vade was reasoning out but was then hugged by Alexa.

Alexa: I thank you, for saving me once more from danger. If only...

Vade: - hugged but winced from the pain -

Alexa: Oh gosh! Oh no, I'm so sorry. - breaks the hug - I got so excited and...

Vade then gave a reassuring glance at Alexa

Vade: Don't apologize for that. As we said earlier, you are at your most vulnerable. Regain yourself and find your footing amidst all this struggle. And honestly, - removes a hair from her face - a Goddess like you shouldn't be crying or grieving over such things.

Alexa: Thanks Vade. - grabs some fries - 

timeskip to next week's Smackdown from Staples Center

The new friends Alexa, Nikki and Vade arrived to the arena with Alexa driving them there. Vade had to be in a disguise to sell the "suspension" imposed for that bar brawl.

Once they have separated ways, Alexa and Nikki met up with Billie Kay and Peyton Royce.

Billie: Lexi, are you alright now? 

Alexa: Yes, I am quite okay. Luckily Nikki, Vade and the rest were there to stop things from getting unpleasant.

Peyton: Lucky you had Vade. Such a nice guy, despite being cold.

Nikki: Now lassies, Vade is no longer that cold. After all, he was the hero in all this, eh Lexi?

The Miz then overheard their talking and then asked Alexa

Miz: Excuse me ladies, pardon but I overheard that Alexa got drunk and was rescued by someone else?

Nikki: Yeah Mike (Miz), Lexi was saved by Vade.

Miz: Vade? Cold, detached, Vade? Lexi? Where was Ryan?

Alexa: - walks out - 

Nikki: Lexi! - turns to Miz - HE wasn't there, Mike. Your best friend who is her boyfriend hasn't spoken a word to her! - follows Alexa -

Peyton: Good job, Mike! - sarcastically says then leaves with Billie -

Miz: Oh shoot, Ryan will be here any minute.

Incoming call, Ryan Cabrera

Miz: Ryan!

Ryan: I'm near Staples Center. Are you with Lexi right now?

Miz: Of course not man. I have a wife! But I need to tell you somethi...

Ryan: I know you work with the bastard who's trying to make moves on my Lexi. I am her wonderful person, no way in hell will I let some midget take her from me.

Miz: Ryan listen man... I

Ryan: Look, I will see you in the arena. See you.

call ended

Miz: I have to find Vade!

Empty storage room before Smackdown

Vade had set up and shot his scene for the vignette to air after Big E's match during the show.

Producer: And that is a wrap, you are a natural at this Vade.

Triple H: I have to suspend you more often if you will bring out this much vile and venom in your promos - laughs - I am kidding of course

Vade: This has been how I have been for so long. All natural with the hate.

Triple H: Well, you are a natural for sure. But listen, from someone who has been there, don't pick too much fights now. I know it was for self-defense but really, image matters here too. 

Vade: I know. It's just that those men were trying to have their way with Alexa that I could not stand idly by and let them go on her.

Triple H: Are you feeling for Alexa? 

Vade: Uhm, no sir. She is taken.

Triple H: You know what, she needs an actual person beside her. A knight in shining armor who can actually defend her and not from afar.

Vade: Are you suggesting I go for her sir?

Triple H: That I leave to you. But really, all she needs is someone who understands her. I'm not saying be the other man but in time and should circumstances permit, you may be the one for her.

Vade: Thanks, I guess. So where do I hide out for the mean time?

Triple H: Oh right, since you're "suspended," share the locker room with Big E first.

Vade: Got it Boss. - leaves the "set" -

Friday Night Smackdown 

https://youtu.be/96Uu_S8-dzM

Corey: Oh my Goddess! 

Michael Cole: Come on Corey, close your mouth now.

Corey: How can I not, Cole? It's the Goddess ...and Nikki Cross.

Michael Cole: It's been weeks since they have shown up here after losing the Women's tag titles to Bayley and Sasha Banks.

Corey: Well, we have just seen that despite the Goddess and the Twisted Sister's efforts, they were not enough to retain against the Golden Role Models.

Alexa now has the mic along with Nikki.

Alexa: Well, sucks that we lost huh. - boos were loud in sympathy - But hey, that doesn't stop us from wanting a shot at those titles again. Bayley and Sasha can parade themselves as the greatest two time women's tag team champions for all we care. But those titles went from Blissfully relevant, to pitifully boring. Not the titles themselves, but those holding them. - Ooohs were audible - 

Nikki: Lexi, you are right. Bayley and Sasha just had to bring in the cheap shots and the dirty tricks because they are unable to best a Goddess. - cheers were loud - 

Alexa: So, this won't be the last time you will see BlissCross Applesauce on the title hu...

https://youtu.be/drTAKWDBAZg

Michael Cole: What are the Iiconics doing here?

Corey: Well we saw the Goddess turned mortal after losing to the Golden Role Models. We may be seeing someone ensuring that Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross stay away from the title hunt

Billie: Excuse me! Excuse me! But who are you to already lay claim that you will be champions again?

Peyton: And Nikki, just stay quiet and be grateful you were a champion because you didn't deserve it in the first place.

The Iiconic duo walked to the ring.

Peyton: And Alexa honey, you can call yourself a Goddess all you like with your little troll, wacko sidekick beside you. But after losing to Bayley and Sasha, you don't deserve to call yourself the Goddess anymore. - boos became louder -

Billie: And so, you don't deserve another chance, and we will ensure that your being bumped off the title hunt and your descent into irrelevance will be....

Billie and Peyton: Iiiconic! - with signature pose - 

Alexa: Really ladies? Speaking of those who don't deserve another chance, you've had a lot of chances back then, and honestly ladies, you blew it. 

Nikki: And don't you dare say that we don't deserve it, because we also have done some scratching and clawin' too to deserve a shot. And there would be nothin' more Iiconic than denying you once more of a title opportunity.

Billie and Peyton have heard enough and charged at Alexa and Nikki to set up...

BlissCross (Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross) v. Iiconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce)

Match Highlights:

- Billie hits Cross with a delayed vertical suplex

- Peyton hits Cross with a kneeling jawbreaker, followed with a quick tag to Billie for a Rope Stunner from Royce, with a running fist connecting to Cross, courtesy of Billie

- Cross hits a running bulldog on Billie

- Bliss hits Billie with Insult to Injury

- Bliss does a leg sweep on Billie 

End of the Match

Bliss dodges a Kiss of Kay from Billie and hits her with a DDT. Bliss covers Billie, but was quickly interrupted by Peyton. Nikki then charges in and crossbodies Peyton. Nikki was about to go near Peyton but was then being blocked by the referee. Billie took care of the distraction doing a drop toe hold on Bliss to the 2nd turnbuckle. Sadly, Alexa was unable to control her fall and fell a bit hard face first on the turnbuckle pad. Billie then did a Kiss of Kay on Nikki Cross to remove her from the equation. This led to Billie tagging in Peyton, who was able to roll back to their corner as they hit Bliss with a Fall from Grace

(A/N: This move)

https://youtu.be/-vUVmdVmn8M

Peyton then pinned Bliss

ONE...TWO....THREE!

Greg Hamilton: The winner of this match, the Iiconics!

Corey: The Iiconics just proved to be right. It seems the Goddess is no longer like one and has been made mortal.

Michael: How can you say that Corey? They surely took advantage of the situation and distraction to sneak one victory in.

Corey: It doesn't matter, Cole. Iiconics have just made their point and across and are in title hunt considerations.

Nikki saw that Bliss was not moving okay. 

Nikki: Lexi, are you okay?

Bliss: - clearly dazed - I am having a hard time moving...

Nikki then helped Alexa to the trainer's office, possibly due to a concussion from the match.

timeskip to Big E winning his match against Bo Dallas

Big E stood triumphant as ever, without breaking a sweat. Having defeated Bo Dallas with  Big Ending and his new Stretch Muffler submission hold, he was then interviewed by Kayla Braxton. 

Kayla: So Big E, another impressive victory this week. You have been on a roll lately. How does it feel?

Big E: Kayla, it feels fantastic. I have done a lot so far. To deal victories left and right. To batter my body for all of these fans. Because! I give in everything, All of me! - All of me chants are heard loud - If not for the power of positivity...

Vade: - heard from the Titantron - Power of Positivity again? 

Cameras then turned to the Titantron to see Vade Drifter in an abandoned warehouse type setting.

Vade: You and that fanatical drivel again. You are what causes these people - says it with so much scorn - to lose grip from the reality they live in. You peddle those words so easily for these sheep to be hypnotized and drawn to that. When in fact, I have been the one living in reality for so long. Destroying their heroes, ensuring that they will only have themselves to look at and realize, that life sucks...and then you die! - boos are heard loud -

Big E: Let me stop you there, now just because you got suspended, doesn't mean you're safe from having me beat down into your little body, the power of positivity. You may feel safe afar in that warehouse or whatever hole you're drifting into but I will beat you down, just as I was able to beat you last week.

Vade: Oh, you mean that win last week where I was not the one who got pinned? Sure, I will give you that but that was because I had to team with someone. And I don't take kindly to teammates. I have always been a solo act. This is why at Backlash, I challenge you to a match. Let's see how far your false Power of Positivity will go against the Voice of Rage. I will ensure that I finish off you false prophets of hope and instill into these pathetic fools the reality of harshness and cruelty. Until then, Drift to Darkness....

Big E: I see what you want to do. But don't think you will be facing off against this dancing 200+ pounds of muscle and flesh. Oh no no, Vade, you're going up against a former NXT Champion, Intercontinental Champion, Tag Team champion and a surefire powerhouse that will beat you down! I will make you feel the power!

timeskip to after Big E in ring segment 

Big E met up with Vade and both slapped palms. 

Vade: You did great out there.

Big E: Now now, you and I bounced off of one another. You did great as well!

Nikki: Vade, you have to help me, Alexa is hurting and is in the trainer's office.

Vade: Oh no.

Big E: I will join you Vade.

Trainer's Office

Billie: Look I'm sorry Alexa...please hang in there.

Nikki: There you are!

Billie: Nikki! I didn't mean to.

Nikki: No no, it's okay. But at least be more careful next time!

Peyton: Billie's sorry, Nikki!

Vade: Nikki, Billie, Peyton, please, don't fight here. I don't know much on concussions but please, this word war will not settle anything as Alexa is already hurting.

Nikki: Lassies, just don't do it again next time. You know Lexi has had concussions prior to this. 

Billie: Alright, I apologize Lexi and Nikki.

Peyton: We were careful with the finish but yes, we should have been more considerate.

Vade: Good - steps in to see Alexa being tended to - 

Trainer: Alexa is fine, just a bit dizzy but we have run a concussion test and she is fine but she needs to slow down for a while and rest this one. 

Alexa: Thank you. Oh Vade, you're here.

Vade: Good, you're safe.

Miz then enters the trainer's office

Miz: Vade, there you are! 

Vade: What do you want Mike?

Miz: Look man, I don't want any trouble but you need to leave

Vade: Why will I leave my friend behi...

Ryan then enters the trainer's office.

Ryan: Thanks for leading me to him Mike.

Miz: Ryan..Vade it's not what it looks like

Ryan then punches Vade on the gut then charges at him, not knowing that Vade still was bruised there.

Ryan: How dare you try to make a move on her!

Vade kicks him off then the two were being restrained, with Miz on Ryan, while Big E, the Iiconics and Nikki on Vade.

Vade: What are you talking about? I saved her from being possibly molested or worse by drunkards!

Ryan: Yeah right! Those were your lackeys to try to pity party your way to her heart into cheating on me. 

Vade: Lackeys? They beat me up!

Ryan: You paid them to make it look like that to make me look bad. 

Vade: Excuse me, but who are you exactly?

Ryan: I am Ryan Cabrera, Lexi Kaufman's boyfriend. Sorry, Alexa Bliss's Wonderful person. I make her laugh and I meant the world to her and she does to me. 

Vade: You sure meant to her when you two fought over the phone.

Ryan: You eavesdropping little shit. That is none of your business. I don't attack Lexi for hanging around you fake fighting fucks. Mike, thanks for leading me to him.

Miz: You don't understand Ryan! He saved...

Triple H then saw the ruckus.

Triple H: ENOUGH! Mizanin, Tolentino, to my office. NOW!

Miz and Vade then proceeded to Triple H's office. Before Vade headed there, Ryan was able to sneak in a gut punch and a slap to Vade and felt victorious before heading to Alexa in the trainer's office.

Triple H's Office

Miz and Vade sat down with a visibly angered Triple H pacing the room.

Triple H: What the hell was that?

Miz: Ryan came in but I didn't expect him to go after Vade

Vade: You led him to me to try to make a fool out of me.

Miz: I didn't expect that. Seriously! I wasn't aware he had a falling out with Lexi. He only told me he needed some time to cool off. 

Vade: You sure are good friends with that fool.

Triple H: You two had better can it or I can suspend the both of you right now or fire you. Take your pick gentlemen!

Vade and Miz remained silent.

Triple H: As I thought, Miz, kindly escort your friend Ryan out. As for you Vade, I am sorry, but I am suspending you without pay for next week's Smackdown. But given we have that PPV match between you and Big E, you still have to show up for your match on Backlash. 

Vade: Are you serious? I got attacked

Triple H: You want to be fired? Just because you were given such wonderful endorsements Vade before getting called up, doesn't mean you're immune from all this. I just have to protect you and ensure you don't end up worse or give this company a bad name. I already did the damage control for the bar fight. Don't expect me to be able to pull strings against Ryan Cabrera. Now go, both of you. Get out of my office!

Vade and Miz left the room with both not saying a word to each other, with Vade heading to the trainer's office

Trainer's office

Ryan was able to get to Alexa with Alexa resting and seeing Ryan's face.

Ryan: How is my wonderful person doing?

Alexa: What are you doing here? - visibly in pain still from that possible stinger -

Ryan: I am here to make you laugh as I am but first, what the hell were you doing at a bar?

Alexa: You left me to myself, Ryan. You should have picked me up that night.

Ryan: Again with that? Geez Alexa, don't you get that I have my own life too? I may goof around and all but I am serious when it comes to you.

Alexa: Serious enough that you assumed I would cheat on you with Vade?

Ryan: That troll shrimp? I beat him down and punched him on the gut. Slapped him too to ensure he stays away from you!

Alexa: What is wrong with you? He saved me twice when you should have been there when I nearly got run over and when I got nearly molested by drunks

Ryan: Both of those would not have happened had you waited out for that Uber I was about to book for yo

Alexa: Ryan, - with tears - Do I matter so much to you?

Ryan: This again? I told you that you do that night. I make you laugh and you called me wonderful.

Alexa: What you're doing is not enough!

Ryan: - shouts - Well you are too needy! I make you laugh, that's enough to get you over what's his face, who works around here but is some scrub on a D show. And you go behind my back with another B plus player? What don't I have that they do huh? I am high profile, you are too. 

Vade walks in and has heard enough as he saw Alexa holding her head and throwing up from the dizziness 

Vade: How about some respect for her? You're shouting at someone who is possibly injured. That someone being your girlfriend.

Ryan: Stay out of this you piece of shit fake fighter! I am her wonderful person. You are just a phase that she will get over once she tires of you. She will and is mine! 

Vade: For someone wonderful, you are wonderful in making her cry and suffer.

Ryan: Shut your trap! I bet you never had a girlfriend you scum!

Vade: Says the one who is a goof and latches onto high profile women on dates. I know your story, Ryan.

Miz then steps in. 

Miz: Ryan, let's go. Hunter ordered me to escort you out. 

Ryan: Yeah Mike, right after I run this loser down the ground and put him in his place.

Miz: Ryan, enough, you will get all of us in trouble, myself included!

Ryan: Let me just get in another shot at this loser who looks like he is going to cry to his mommy.

Vade was standing there with no expression staring into Ryan's soul. This triggered Ryan to indeed try to sneak another one on Vade until Alexa stood up and slapped Ryan.

Alexa only had enough to stand but nearly collapse. Vade wrapped her arm around his neck.

Ryan: Alexa.... 

Alexa: Ryan... WE'RE THROUGH!

Ryan: Alexa I... I didn't mean to! 

Miz: Ryan, best for you to leave man.

Ryan: Mike, come on... Fuck you, you loser shrimp midget!

Vade only stood there checking on Alexa. Before Ryan left, Vade had the last word

Vade: Go terrorize other young girls, you creep!

Alexa laughed a bit and Vade then added the salt on the wound

Vade: I just made her laugh.

Ryan was irritated but security now had to intervene and ensure Ryan Cabrera is to leave Staples Center. Vade then lifted Alexa bridal style then Nikki saw the scene

Nikki: That was quite a scene. Is Lexi okay?

Alexa: A bit dizzy but Vade saved me here again.

Vade: Yes... but now I am suspended for next week's Smackdown. A real one.

Nikki and Alexa were shocked, but Alexa was the most shocked.

Alexa: I'm so...

Vade: Don't get me started. Come on, we need to get you rested Alexa. 

The three then went to Alexa's rental car with Nikki driving and they proceeded to the hotel to end the rather explosive night.

That was Chapter 5. And my Goddess this is long as all hell! 

Keep safe and stay awesome!
