After "The King of Destruction" had vanished from the ring after the chaos he had caused: the girls decided to go and see if they could find him, though both Billie and Peyton more so as they were ecstatic to know their friend was in WWE with them. 

They soon reached near Hunter's office, and saw Destroyer with sun glasses on shaking hands with Triple H and Paul Heyman, even giving the latter a small bro hug. They could just about hear what Triple H was saying to the "King of Destruction" himself. 

"Brutal way to make an impact! You'll get on fine here. And don't worry, it's all cleared up too." Destroyer nodded his head to that. "Thanks, Hunter, Paul." he replied to both of them, before Heyman and Triple H went off. 

But before Destroyer could go anywhere: he was jumped upon by a certain two Aussie beauties, nearly causing him to lose his footing and balance. Key word being "nearly" though.

""Michael!"" both Peyton and Billie said at the same time, surprising the "King of Destruction" a bit, as his face briefly showed. That morphed into a small smirk as he brought them down onto the ground. 

"Well, well, well...Cassie and Jessica. It's been way too long." he said as he pulled them into a brief hug, which the girls enjoyed, his Australian accent coming through even though despite how deep and dark it sounded. When the trio parted from the hug, both girls playfully slapped him on the arm before Peyton spoke with a smirk on her face.

"You ass! Why didn't ya tell us you were coming here!?" Destroyer shrugged a bit before crossing his arms across his chest a bit. "It was meant to be a secret. Besides: didn't know if you two had a match tonight." he said, soon noticing Alexa, Becky and Nikki coming over with teasing smirks on their faces.

"Friends of yours?" Destroyer asked, causing the girls to look over at the girls nodding their heads. "Yeah. These are Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. Or Rebecca, Lexi and Nicola if you become friends with them." Billie introduced, before both girls grabbed Destroyer by the arms and pulled him over to meet the girls. Peyton did the introductions for the girls.

"Girls: this is Destroyer, or as we've known him as Michael Walker-Martin." the girls smiled and said at the same time, practically, """Hello Michael!""" He nods to that, holding a hand out and shaking their hands one-at-a-time respectfully, saying as he does so. "Nice to meet you all. Though call me Destroyer. I prefer it to Michael."

They nodded to that, soon Alexa asked "So, what made you want to come here? I thought you hated WWE?" "I do. But my contract expired, and I needed a new challenge...so I thought causing some chaos to Vince's life would do the trick...Besides, there's some people here that are worth coming here..." he responded, pointing to Peyton and Billie.

"Awww! He loves us!" Billie teased as she and Peyton hugged onto Destroyer's arms, which he briefly rolled his eyes at, even if it couldn't be seen through his glasses. Nikki soon asked cautiously "If you don't mind me asking...why do you wear those glasses indoors?" 

Destroyer's face morphed at that point to a serious expression, no smile could be seen. He wasn't mad at Ember for asking the question by any means, since he did kind of have it coming and it was a more common question that he got, though he rarely answered it when asked. He looked to the IIconics and they nodded saying ""You can trust them, Michael."" 

He eventually nodded, relenting and knowing he needed to trust some people with it, and decided to tell them...well, show them and tell them. He closed his eyes briefly before opening them as he removed the glasses and revealed his eyes to the girls, the same eyes shown on the screen when they did close-ups. 

"You've no doubt seen close-ups of my eyes when I was in the ring...well, they aren't this colour because of contact lenses...I was born with them. Some sort of birth defect, or so the docs keep telling me." 

The others were silent for a bit, and Destroyer put the glasses back on to cover his eyes, the silence making him feel rather uncomfortable. Both Peyton and Billie noticed this, and soon tried to change the subject. 

"Sooo...you got a ride to your hotel Micky?" Billie teased, causing Destroyer to raise his scarred eyebrow to that in confusion. "'Micky'? Really Jess?" the others laughed a bit, and Destroyer rolled his eyes. "To answer your question: no. I was planning on walking there anyway, or getting a friend to give me a lift."

"Oh, why not go with me and Jess!? We can catch up!" Peyton suggested, unaware that Becky, Alexa and Nikki were giving the three of them teasing looks. Destroyer did notice, even if his IIconic friends didn't, but he payed no attention to it. Eventually he nodded slowly.

"Sure." was all he said, and both Billie and Peyton jumped up in joy a bit, soon running to get their stuff after telling the girls and Destroyer that they would be a bit. 

Destroyer's Personal Observation:

As they headed off, I looked towards Becky, Alexa and Nikki. They were nice people, all things considered, even from first appearances. And it's rare that I get that vibe. But the girls trust them, so who am I to argue with their judgement.

"Can I ask you girls a couple of questions?" I asked, and they nodded. """Sure.""" they all said, weirdly in sync, though not complete sync like Billie and Pey. And yes, I am aware that I used Jessica's and Cassie's ring names, and shortened Cassie's ring name a bit, but it's sometimes easier for me to remember with ring names than real names...the girls excluded...

"Are Jess and Cassie happy here?" I asked, leaning an arm against the nearest wall. They didn't answer right away, which was enough for me, but soon Alexa spoke. "Recently, no. Not in terms of their careers. Cassie has it worse though personally as well..."

"She and her now ex-fiancee, Tye Dillenger, called it off not too long ago after he got released." Becky continued, both girls had been respectful in how they spoke about the situation. I recognised the name of Pey's ex, or at least who he is currently. Shawn Spears. Never met him personally, nor have I fought him, so I'd have to fight him in a match or talk with him to get a feel on him personally.

"I had heard that their tag title reign was handled horribly after the win...bloody Vince's doing no doubt..." I said, looking away from the girls as I laid my back against the wall I was leaning on and stare absentmindedly. I was quickly pulled out of my thoughts by Nikki though.

"What was your other question?" she asked curiously, and I remembered what it was. "How's Charlotte doing? And I mean in general." That surprised them a bit, and Becky asked "You know her?" I nodded slowly. "I'm a friend of hers and one of her ex's. Met her through her dad, Ric. We've been friends for years."

I got my camera in my bag, don't judge, and showed a picture of the two of us from a few years ago. She was smiling in the picture and was holding the old NXT Women's Championship as well. I looked a fair bit different as well. Blonder, and with my hair in a dreadlocks bun of sorts. Don't ask why, because I have no idea why either. Needless to say: it's a faze of my life that I'm not going back to anytime soon, hair wise.

If you're wondering which ex I was referring to, it's Bram. And before anyone questions it: I wasn't aware of the details of their relationship until after they split. And I did end up going crazy on Bram, but at the end of the day we ended up remaining friends, as did me and Charlotte. I'm just smart enough to never bring up either of their names when I'm with one of them...

Also, no: I've never dated Charlotte. I see her as a friend and nothing more, and it's vice-versa...granted she also sees me as a brother-figure as well. Ric did bring it up once, and we both laughed it off. Won't deny we thought about it once, but we both decided we're better as friends than anything else.

"I'm sure Ashley will want to see ya at some point." Becky soon said, and I nodded slowly. "I'll try and speak with her at some point..." I spoke, and soon both Billie and Pey returned with their stuff shouting ""We're ready!""

I rolled my eyes a bit, but I wouldn't change them for the world. Soon Becky, Alexa and Nikki headed off and I grabbed my things before walking to the car park with The IIconics to their rental car. I loaded my stuff and theirs into the car, and, despite my insistence to drive: Jessica decided to drive. Which also meant that they had control of the music being played too...great...

To be fair to them though, they at least listen to a few songs I know of or like. Other times I've never heard of the song. Plus they are the best company a guy like me could have at both the best of times, and the worst. 

We stopped at a place to get some food and catch up, damned if I remember the place though. It was the middle of the night and I was hardly in the mood for remembering the names of food places. Peyton asked the first question. 

"So, how's life on the indies treated you Micky?" I groaned in slight annoyance at the new nickname they had dubbed me back at the locker room, but I answered the question regardless. After all, it's rude to keep a lady waiting. Or, at least that's what I was taught from a young age anyway. 

"It was...nice. I wouldn't say I was used to my fullest potential in some companies, but I was content with the destruction I caused. Would have been nice if Ring of Honor and New Japan used me as more than a tag champion, but it was something and the feuds were decent enough most times."

"Hey, at least you got to have some creative control with your gimmick in other places mate." Billie told me, which was true enough. At least in Defiant and ICW I got to show off more of my violent side. "True. Same applies now." 

I could tell that what I had said took the girls back in surprise, and honestly I don't blame them. I was given a luxury that far too few wrestlers in WWE or NXT get given, and yes: I used the word "wrestler" instead of "sports entertainer". Just hearing those words regarding a wrestling promotion makes my skin crawl!

""How the hell did you manage that!?"" they both asked me in sync again, to which I smirked as I leaned back into my chair a bit before explaining. "It was a condition I had on my contract. A condition that can never be altered or redacted by anyone unless I allow it. Among other things. Fortunately, Triple H is a smart man and a genius when it comes to the business. Unlike that old fossil, Vince..."

The girls both laughed at that bit, possibly confirming what I had always assumed about who bad Vince is with talent. "How's the family?" Billie asked me. Both girls were close with my family, meaning that whenever Billie and Peyton were on tv, the girls were my sisters favourites to win by default. It was quite sweet in a way. 

"They're good. And I speak with them often enough. If you want, you can speak with them the next time I call them." That seemed to make them exited. "That'd be great!" Cassie, aka Peyton, soon responded. 

End of pov.

After a while, the trio of Australians finished their food and headed back off in the rental car to their hotel room. On the journey, the trio almost immediately agreed to be traveling buddies on the road, given their close friendship, and their past...well, Billie and Peyton suggested it and were all for it, Destroyer agreed to it, even if he didn't think it was a bad idea in the slightest.

When they reached their hotel for the night, the three of them were surprised that their rooms were only a door apart. "Sweet! We're neighbors!" Billie said, with Peyton sharing her friends excitement. Destroyer smiled a bit, and the three friends hugged it out a bit as he opened his hotel room door, saying before he headed off. 

"Give me a call when you're up. I'll probably be up anyway." The girls agreed, and they went their separate ways. When Destroyer entered his room, he slowly rubbed his tired eyes and sat on his bed, a brief smile gracing his face for the briefest of moments at the impact he had had that day, and for reuniting with Peyton and Billie. 

If only he and they knew just how much things were going to be in the near future...but they soon would....

Author's Side-Note: I apologise for the long wait in this chapter, but I have had a LOT of trouble with trying to do this chapter and attempting to get this chapter done. It's not perfect, but I do hope you like it. 

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and enjoyed a look at what Destroyer is like outside of the ring, and I will try to update the chapter as soon as I can. I hope you all have an amazing day!
