~*~*~*~Post Explosion Hospital Visit~*~*~*~

"Uggh."

Thor grunts in frustration as he tries to find a comfortable spot to lay. He was once again in a hospital as the result of an explosion. His back had been embedded with chunks of shrapnel as he had used his body to protect a little girl from harm. They still didn't know what had caused the explosion but the investigation had reveal that if the distance between Thor and the blast had been smaller he would have been killed. Instead he had been hospitalized and underwent surgery to remove close to a hundred metal shards from his back. This had been two days earlier and they told he would have another day at least before his release. Of course this had happened on the morning of meeting he had been scheduled for. So that had been canceled.

So here he was trying to make the best of a bad situation. His already mangled back was now even more so and his patience was wearing thin. Crappy bedding, shit all on the television, food that was alright at best, and nurses who were only nice to him because he owned a corporation that could buy the hospital. Then there was the painkiller dulled pain in his back. A back that was starting to itch as begun to scab over. It was going to be a long week for sure but for now he had to see if he could focus his mind on something else for a few minutes. So in a fatally optimistic fashion he picks up the remote and tries to find something to watch.

"Do you suffer from feminine itch? With Vagisil get take care of..."

With that the channel is changed.

"Viagra is the number one ED treatment..."

Click the channel changes again.

"Three words Etrade Financial Consultant...Tommy what are you doing?

"Speed dating."

Thor waits to see if something interesting comes on after the commercial but is disappointed by some movie that he had seen a dozen times. He turns off the television just as a visitor comes into his room.

"So are you getting a medal out of all of this?"

"How am I supposed to know Arron? I am going nuts in here with only commercials about vagina issues, penis dysfuntion, and investing babies."

"Well you have to admit you have always been nuts but I have something you might be interested in."

"What is that? My release papers?

"Not that good but I do have the card for next ACW show."

As they had been talking Arron comes in and takes a seat in the bed side chair. One of the perks of being rich was a better class of room. Thor takes a deep breath while trying not to cause himself too much pain just by breathing.

"So how bad is it Arron?"

"Well it could be a whole hell of alot worse. You taking on that new guy Ashley Poison."

"What can you tell me about her that I don't know.."

"She is a stuck up bitch who thinks she is entitled to greatness. Apparently killed her father in self defense.."

"So anything I need to know going into this match?."

"Well there is a stipulation on this. The winner will get partial control of the first show of 2013."

"Interesting. So the revolution is paying off already."

"Yes and I am not sure if you had a chance to get an update about how things went down last Initiative but I handled it. I arranged for the war to be carried on in your absence."

"What did you do?"

"You now have a new ally in the fight. Not only that you can expect even more support."

"Well that is good to hear. I guess I will have to see how this plays out then."

Thor smiles savagely as shifts slightly in the bed.

"God I feel like crap."

"What did you expect to feel like Thor? Roses and rainbows? For Christ's sake you had your back peppered with metal shards. You were lucky the blast didn't break anything or have something go through bone."

"I am not talking about my current pain. No I am thinking about the way my body is moving these days. Time has taken its toll Arron. You know I got into this business well past the age more guys get their first shot. Hell most guys have started to retire by the age I started. Even if you take in the account the time I spent in the underground fights I am still older than at least half of the guys on the roster. I would figure that number is closer to ninety percent but that is just a guess. The point is I am starting to feel the effects of the last five years. I know have been on a decline ever since for a while now.."

"Well I hate to say this but maybe you need to take some time off and let your body and mind get back into the game. No one would fault you for it Nathaniel. Finish up this business with the ACW management, who needs to see that it is time to grow, then go enjoy some of your riches for a little."

"You know that I can't do that Arron..."

"Why not? Every warrior has to lay down his sword at times. How many in this industry take time off to rest up and come back better for it. As your friend, and a man who has learned a lot from you, I am telling you that you have earned some time enjoying a bit of the luxury you can obtain. Besides if you are really worried about need something to do use our resources to leverage some political power. Of course, I am not saying you should leave this battle left undone. I know you sense of honor won't allow you to just let this lie."

"Arron you know I already announced my retirement date. I don't want to quit early now that I have set a goal. Though you are right I might need to put some space between my wrestling and the slump I am in right now. Yet, I know myself well enough to know that if I take a break from the industry completely I will more than likely not come back."

"Well all I can say is that even the best soldier eventually leaves the battlefield having done his share of combat. Let's face it Thor you have coated many a ring with your blood over the years and have earned every success you have gotten. You may be in a slump but if you take a break and refocus you will end our career on the up swing."

"You are probably right but I will consider a break only after I have straightened out the future of the ACW. Which I will do soon rather than later but after that I will need to see what happens."

"Well I am sure you will figure it out."

~*~*~*~You call it Poison?~*~*~*~

Saturday afternoon found a sore and banged up Sah'ta Thor was sitting in a hotel suite trying not to have the scabs on his back crack from over exertion. He had finally learned what had caused the explosion and it had made him wonder how it had happened in the first place. The blast had been the result of a grease fire in the kitchen of the a resturant had caused a propane tank to explode. Which as they say in show business was all she wrote. Thor had dozens of stitches and more scar tissue on his back but at least he had saved a kid from being hurt or killed.

"Master are you okay?"

"Yeah I am fine Paige. I am just thinking about my upcoming wrestling match and the shape I will be in to face Ashley Poison."

"What is wrong though? I know you well enough to know that something is bothering you."

Thor sighs softly at his personal assistant and blinks trying not to let the glint of lost desperation shine in his eyes.

"I feel like a chicken with my head cut off. It is like my body is letting me down while my declining ability to compete like I use to is being ran up a flagpole to be aired like a pair of underwear as summer camp."

"Well have you thought about how much you have put into the wrestling world? You are a legend, Master. Every legend has to prove their worth to the test of time. Take for example the myriad number of pirate captains we hear about today. Blackbeard, Sir Francis Drake, and Davy Jones are just a few of the most notorious pirates of the day. Yet, there were dozens of other pirates seeking to make their names immortal but at the end of the day only those who achieved acts that could only be described as legendary were remembered as more than footnotes in the wake of time's passage. Take their examples use your skills to do something that will never be forgotten."

Thor sighs as he stands up slowly and gingerly. With a wince he starts to walk towards the in suite kitchenette for a glass of water. As he walked he used the few short seconds to organize a reply to what had just been said. He reaches into the cabinet and pulls out a tall glass that had yet to completely dry from its last washing.

"The problem with though is that the wrestling industry and more specifically ACW is like a chicken coop. So many birds fighting over the feed that is the adoration of the crowd and this is without the glorious addition of the worm like title belts. In the world of a chicken a worm is nourishing prize that is worth fighting over. In every organization you have the wrestlers who are content with being on the roster and having matches every week. These wrestler are what I like to think of as hens keeping a steady base of talent to allow the roosters to shine. Now like every social group a rooster, or in this case a title contender, needs to know its place in the pecking order. Well thing is in my case I am not your average rooster, no I entered the chicken coop a grizzled old scarred being who had tangled with the wilds and survived. I was raised on the chicken coop lifestyle but I have managed to show that I am a rooster that knows how to fight. Yet, the truth is that I know I am a grizzled old thing who is slower than most of the farm raised fowl. It is a simple reality that I continue to deal with wrestlers half my age or thereabouts coming in and thinking they can push me around. Sad thing is a decent amount of the time they can Paige, and it is demoralize to be at the top of the pecking order then sudden be struggling against the henish ones in the coop."

"That is an interesting description Master but you are forgetting something. Most of the time after a bout of the posturing and chest puffing the young one end up as somebodies three piece meal. Inevitably forgotten like those pirates who tried but failed to reach immortality. I know what you are getting at and I understand that you miss being seen as a serious threat to the roosters who have come in and established themselves at the top of the pecking order. You should realize that even if you aren't at the top yourself inevitably you are the reason they got there, how many times have you been beating in that ring by someone who ends up becoming the next big thing while you bust ass to stay competitive? From what I have seen that is how it breaks down for you and while I understand it isn't a party worthy job it is one that is important. You are like the lynchpin around with the gates to the upper echelon revolve. Embrace the fact and run with it Master, things will look a lot better that way."

"I know what you are saying, really I do but the constant revilement of my character is draining. The constant jabs at my being a washed out has been or the like take away my desire to be continue hanging out in the chicken coop. Yet, I can't leave it either since I am essentially locked inside the walls of the industry and will be until a proverbial door opens for me. Maybe you are right in that I need to embrace the fact that I am the grizzled old bird. After all, I have shed my blood around the coop and beyond to earn my place in lasting memory. I need to stand firm on the rock infested ground I have managed to keep and show them all that I haven't lost all my fight. It is time for ACW to know that you mean business."

"So what are you going to do with Ashley Poison?"

"I plan on showing her that while she may have an issue with my morality there isn't going to any forgiveness. You have to realize that she wants to play in the big leagues and I don't think she realizes who she is facing. I have heard all about her opinion of me but the evolution of her thoughts is flawed. For example, she really needs to check her facts before going off on a rant. I have beaten Judas Dathan both times I faced him and have split the matches with Reya Serra. Now the match with Orlando and its loss was the result of an incompetent referee and yesh Frank has beat me twice. So what? Do she KNOW anything about who I am? I would guess not but she will KNOW precisely who I am after I make her scream in pain before I finally let her tap out. I don't know what her problem is but she will learn first hand that I am not some pushover. No she will learn first hand why I am the Sin Incarnate."

WIth that Thor steps back to the bed and lays down careful of his back. Once he was settled in he grabs the remote while Paige slides up against his side to lay her head on his shoulder. Thor smiles and clicks on the television. He would worry about his other issues later for now it was time to heal up and get his head back into the game. After all he was quickly approaching the start of the fourth quarter in his career.

"The twenty piece socket set..."
