Just Hanging Out.. (o2a)

[Μyster Controversy™]

Its been nearly a month since the events of Vendetta this past April. Brandon Payne, just prior to that event. Had announced to the world that he was taking some time off away from the ring. Numerous reasons led to him to do this. Nonetheless, it was time for him to get back into shape. His last big match was against Primo Valiente. Despite the tag loss at Vendetta. He felt that he had done what he set out to achieve. He settled the score with Primo at TakeDown in his own backyard, a King's Road match. With those two events now resting comfortably in the back of his mind. Whats next for BP ?

Genesis was dead....Brandon Payne is alive and well.

All good things must come to an end at some point. Leaving Vendetta that night. Brandon closed the book on his career as the infamous Genesis. A man who was known for his controversial antics. Both backstage and out in the ring. Alot of incidents that he himself felt guilty of and was not proud of doing.

But that was then....THIS is now !

He felt that now was the time to start his new journey. Living the life of a superstar. Who's hard work and dedication to the business he loved oh so much was about to pay off. XWA is his new home. He's been there and done that at the other companies. Won many championships, including two World Heavyweight Titles. Defeating Primo was yet another big accomplishment. How many people can say they done that ?? Not many...but BP can

For now, Brandon has enjoyed his time away from the ring. On the business side, he is busy relocating. His "House of Payne" training school is being relocated to a new training facility near Buffalo, NY. His prize student, Damien Ortiz. Decided to also step away from the ring to better his skills back at the HoP. While not running his wrestling school. Brandon moved from his home in Los Angeles to New York. So that he could be closer to his school and to the XWA.

Life was great outside the squared circle...

However, as the case with most superstars in the business. Its nearly impossible to go away from something you love the most. Wrestling is in his blood. Now, the road to his 'comeback' begins.

Setting: Downtown Manhattan, NY
Time: 9:47 pm
Location: Time Square



Time Square was 'busy' as usual. To outsider's, the sights & sounds of the place can be a bit overwhelming. For those who grown up in and around New York. It was just another day at the office. Streets littered with people on every sidewalk. Cars going up and down the streets.

Brandon has been in downtown New York all day. Just mostly hanging out and soaking in his new environment. He goes into a nearby bar & grill area to rest his tired legs. Upon entering, he is greeted accordingly by one of the employee's:

Hello sir, is there anything I can get you this evening ?

Well...since you asked. A Coors Light sounds pretty good right about now (laughs).

Ah yes, coming right up.

Thank You

Brandon takes a seat nearby. The bartender brings him his beer moments later. Brandon sits back in his chair. Just relaxing after a long day. Until...[/center]

[Kyle Kancer]

Up comes Tom Lipman, having a drink before he headed home. Seeing Brandon, he headed over to talk to him.

"Hey Gen-uh, Brandon. Sup?"

[Μyster Controversy™]

Looking over at the young man with a confused look on his face. Brandon says:

I'm sorry... I don't believe we've ever met. Who are you and how do you know my name ?

Afterwards, picking up his beer and taking a few sips.

[defleppardvanhalen]

Walking into the club in crutches, "Wild Thing" James Bowen went in, flirted with a beautiful waitress, and ordered a beer.

James: I'll pick up the tab for those two (pointing at Brutus and Brandon to the young lady).

Waitress: Okay, I'll let them know.

[Μyster Controversy™]

Waitress walks over and lets Brandon know about the bill.

It appears that a friend of yours is taking care of the bill for your drinks this evening sir.

Brandon looks over at the individual.

Thanks buddy

*thinks to himself afterwards*

Pretty nice guy he seems to be. And like the other fellow, I have no idea who he is (laughs). Oh well... he seems to be another XWA superstar. I'm sure I'll get to know these two eventually. One way or the other. More then likely, they'll get to know my fist more then my personality.

[Μyster Controversy™]

Brandon gulps down the last bits of his beverage and asks the gentleman:

I assume you two are also with the XWA ? What are your names ? You must be somewhat new around here. You guys, oddly enough, seemt to know who I am (strangely enough). But just out of courtesy, my name is Brandon Payne. You heard of me through the grapevine under my former professional name "Genesis".

Have a seat fella's, lets chat a little bit. I like meeting new people. Besides, its not everyday you guys meet an 'elite' like myself.

[defleppardvanhalen]

James: Nice to meet you, dude; my name's "Wild Thing" James Bowen. I am a rocker, a wrestler, and a trainer.

[Μyster Controversy™]

Nice to meet ya James. Thanks for buying the drinks too. You didn't have to do that, but, I appreciate it.

So you are a rocker, wrestler, AND trainer ?? WOW ! Sounds like your a busy man with all that stuff goin' on.

I'm a trainer as well. I run a wrestling school called the "House of Payne". Gotta say its pretty cool passing along everything you've learned from the business on to young and future superstars of our industry.

Surprised to see you walking in here to be honest. Now that you mention your name. Seems like I do remember you now. But.. didn't you injure your leg or some shit ? I thought you was going to be out for like 4-6 months ?

No offense but, if thats the case. Shouldn't you be resting your leg instead of going out to bars ? And with an injury like that. How can you even walk !? (laughs)

*Brandon then thinks to himself*

Rocker eh ? So that would explain the gaudy outfit he has on. And that leg injury ? Either that guy is lying through his teeth about that or he has to be god. Because there is no way in hell someone with a torn ligament is going to be up walking around like nothing is wrong.

[hel]

Temperance Troy, commonly known by her ring name "Helena", happens into the situation. Just from seeing a few familiar faces "from work", she decides to greet them all.

Good evening, boys. Nice to see I'm not the only one who made the long trip from Japan back to New York City.

She was dressed in the classic little black dress, accompanied by her signature biker jacker. Her boots came just past her thighs, leather of course. She leans over the counter ever so slightly and orders her drink.

Peach Martini. Dry.

A few moments pass, and her drink was now in hand. She turns back to the others...

So, how goes it, boys?

[defleppardvanhalen]

James: Yeah, but I am eager to get back to what I love, but I'm scheduled to have surgery; so after surgery, I'll start training very hard to return to what I love best and that's to wrestle. And I have crutches, so I can stay off my bad leg.

James then heard Helena.

James: Owww! You look smoking hot tonight, babe. Bartender, I'll pay her tab.

[Μyster Controversy™]

Looking over at James:

Ahhhh, I see. Sounds like you have some big plans. I hope everything works for the best for ya. I know leg injuries can be a pain in the ass sometimes. I've had numerous leg injuries throughout my career and know what its like. Just keep your chin up and keep training to get back in shape. And you'll be fine.

Turns his attention over to Helena:

It goes it good.

Brandon says with a sly look on his face. As cold and callous as he could be in the ring. He always had a soft spot in his heart for the ladies. However, he was being the perfect gentleman. He wasn't going to drool all over the place like some other men would *cough* James Bowen *cough* .

Your looking very lovely tonight ma'am. Miss Helena Troy I presume ? My name is Brandon Payne. Most known by my professional name of 'Genesis' that I used to go by.

Brandon, introducing himself to Miss Troy appropriately.

If James keeps buying everyone drinks. At this rate, he'll be flat broke (laughs).

So Helena, how was the trip back from Japan ? You must've been exhausted from the traveling. I know I was. Just glad to be back home to be quite honest. Now I can just kick back and relax.

[hel]

With a raised eyebrow at James' offer, Helena hands the Bartender back her glass.

In that case, make it a double.

Soon after, she's handed a Peach Martini with Hair. She wasn't at all a lightweight.

Thank for the generosity, James...is it? I over heard you saying something about Surgery?

She nonchalantly lowers the shoulder of her jack to reveal an at first well concealed, but notable scar that ran an inch away from the back of her neck out to her shoulder.

Got that one from being piledrivered off a twenty foot ladder in a stack of four Tables. My Collarbone was pretty much reduced to pastes. There's seven inch steel plate where the bone used to be. So I know your pain. BELIEVE ME.

She then responds to Brandon's inquiry.

Long and arduous. But I can't complain. I'm back on American soil. Hopefully I can forget about how I left things in The Tokyo Dome.

She was still fuming over her lose to Heather. It was going to urk her all the way until the next Takedown...[/color]

[spaceinvaders]

And after all the XWA roster was back, the bumbling alien duo was back on Earth again, they arrived at the bar riding in bicycles, their newest military vehicle due to massive budget cuts. However it was all the Mobstaz's fault, they were the ones who stole their spaceship.

Allright we are here, Time Square in Manhattan, NY.

Where do we start invading?

SHHH! Remember that we are here as undercover humans, we are wearing this very elaborate disguise to fool this Earthicles and take away their planet from their sticky, greasy hands. With our superior intelligence and weaponry, soon all humans will be enslaved in our lard mines MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

MWAHAHAHA!!!

The Space Invaders spot some XWA wrestlers in a bar

Look! A chance to make friends, let's enter this zone

The Space Invaders enter the zone under their "elaborate" disguises, they go to where BP, Helena and James are

Ahoy-hoy comrades.

The Space Invaders do the communist salute as they wait for an answer

[revan]

Pryce walks into the bar (Ouch ) and looks at both of the Space invader dudes in their disguises. he then looks over to BP Helena and Bowen.

What the.....Damn......Er.....must...er..call....Mulder...Scully!!!.

Pryce walks off to the toilet quickly he looked freaked out by the two "alien" he picks out his phone and calls a number. *Pryce will be back don't worry after the call he walks over to the three people.

hi, you all look happy. how have you all been?

[Μyster Controversy™]

Hey Waitress, bring me another beer please.

Coming right up

Thanks

As the waitress brings Brandon another beer. He responds to Helena. Sensing that she is a little ticked over what had happened over in Japan.

I don't blame you one bit. You had a good match with Heather Fierhart, I thought. To me, it could've went either way. But I believe you will bounce back and have your revenge. As you know, Heather is not an easy woman to defeat. But, it can be done. Just have faith in yourself and train a little bit harder. Maybe sharpen up your wrestling skills. Then there is no doubt in my mind that you can beat her.

Then, he turns his attention over to Christian Pryce. Finally ! A familiar face that BP recognized.

Sup Pryce. Don't believe I've seen you around since our brief run in at Memphis ? Last I remember. They was scrapping you off the mat after I pounded your face in...hahaha.

Then, BP glances over at the Space Invaders:

And just who the fuck are you two clowns ?? Lemme guess. Your aliens from outer space. And you are here to suck my brains out with a straw ?

*Thinking to himself now*

Jeez.. this night is getting weirder & weirder. First a rock n' roll hippie, and now these two guys with funny lookin' masks (or faces ??). This outta be fun...
