Wolf vs Vampire meet Spider.

[The Riders]

Thereisa would think to herself while massaging the young woman back with her hands "Why am I doing this right now... Is it cause she reminds me of Serilda? or is it something else.... I haven't sung that lullaby in ages and now this.. I'm starting to hate this feeling and maybe I'm losing my edge or something.." shaking her head to clear her thoughts as she keeps massaging a very sore spot on the woman back, digging her palms into it and loosen up the knot that is there.

Your very tense... Have you not been to the massage area at all since you joined.? she ask already knowing what the answer is going to be but wants to hear it from the younger girl own mouth. While she starts to rub another tense tight spot on the the woman back starting to hum slowly, before getting a spot that makes Sophia winch..'Sorry about that this spot is really tense and there a knot there so bare with it alright..."

Thereisa gives Sophia another small squeeze to make sure she stays still. "Yea that bitch took after as soon as I showed up...should have kicked her head in if I had known what she was doing earlier" she mumbles but whoever that woman was took a Stardust kick and shrugged it off like it was nothing at all. She would have to keep her eye out on someone like her if she is signed to the company then she would be a big threat to her or her girls.

She freezes at the mention of the CWA... or the night when she defeated Hagger for the title. But the one thing that sticks with her is when Sophia says becoming the best wrestler ever. "Something I always remembered... but didn't get to enjoy for very long you know." in a low voice she replies. What nobody knew at the time was after her victory management had came to her not just two weeks of winning asked her to drop the belt. She refused and the rest is history in her infamous career as a wrestler. "Thanks... But find a much better wrestler to look up to beside me... Alaina is one I would say." as she slides backward seeing that the girl is fine now.

After a few moments, Sophia had visibly become at least a little more relaxed. There was certainly a tension to her, but that was now more due to her nerves being tested rather than the pains in her ailing back. It was clear the poor girl needed a lot of work, her muscles held a lot of tension, not just in her back, but along her shoulders.
"I have not... It was my intention to perhaps go one day, but with the way things are with Alcina and... others... I do not believe it is worth the risk." Sophia described when Thereisa questioned if she had been to the LAW facilities. Sophia winced again as Thereisa really began to work against the worse spot in her lower back, but after a few uncomfortable moments, the pain began to subside, and Sophia visibly sank a little. She could not deny that the experience left her... somewhat relaxed now.

"Th.. thank you for helping me. You did not have to do that." Sophia whispered when Thereisa was done with her massage. It was somewhat of a quick fix, but it would certainly do the younger German for now. She felt a lot more confident in moving, and Thereisa could only see she could turn and hold herself much better now. Feeling her bare legs unwrap from her waist, Sophia was finally able to turn and face Cyber Widow... though once against she struggled to make eye contact with her childhood heroine. Cyber was strangely quiet about her past, and seemingly troubled by it too when she got around to answering Sophia's question about her time in the CWA.

Sophia frowned, some semblance of her real self managing to slip through the cracks of her nervousness around Cyber when the fellow German mentioned that she should take her admiration elsewhere. Shifting flat onto her knees, Sophia fully turned to face Thereisa. There was still a clear hint of nervousness in her eyes, but slowly Sophia began to look more stern, her brow furrowing into a deeper frown over the notion Cyber Widow had said.
"Alaina?..." Sophia whispered. Sophia Wolfe loved and admired the Amazon. When not watching tapes of Black Widow, there was no doubt Alaina was the next wrestler Sophia would turn to for inspiration and awe when she was a child looking through the neighbours window.
"... Just before I began my... career as a wrestler. I was betrayed by a woman I thought I loved, who I thought loved me in return. I was in a very dark place. I lost who I was long ago.. but somehow found myself further displaced from what I always dreamed to be." Sophia responded, firm in her words.

"I did not know what to do, I had no one to turn to and no real ambition in life anymore. I was alone again... When I thought despair would overcome me, I found some old wrestling tapes... something I had bought for myself when I was finally old enough to look after myself. Tapes of the Black Widow... I watched all the old memories, watching your defeats, your struggles... and... I saw a lot of what I had become in you. Then I watched you rise... and I watched you win against Hagger. I watched the Black Widow become the World Champion. It put me on the path I am now... inspired me to become what I am today... it made Sophia Wolfe the wrestler you see today. You ask me to look up to Alaina... Alaina is not the Black Widow... you are." Sophia spoke with a stern tone.

There a lot of things that can be said about Thereisa. How she was known as a cold heartless woman in and out of the ring, but what people know is how she was during her career as a wrestler. Everyone assume she just woke up evil after turning on her partner in Japan but it was much more then just that, having the woman who trained you also be the booker and top draw of the company. Being used as the foreign wrestler to fight the hero and always came up short.

Her biggest fear was being forgotten or an afterthought in the eyes of many wrestling fans. Or only be known as that one wrestler who turned her back on the good path to injury her opponents, no one knew how badly she had to suffer not able to work doing the thing she loved, dealing with a husband who did the most cruel thing ever done by taking her child away from her. There a reason why she hates the Ostberg line and why she came back to wrestle again.

Hearing those word's coming out of Sophia mouth. That feeling that someone actually looked up and still does in her. That feeling hits her leaving her in a state she hasn't been in since two times, the first was being told she was having a baby girl. And the second was coming home to a empty house and not seeing her daughter.

"Thank you...." she says in a low tone. Not wanting the younger woman to see her in such a state like this vulnerable and emotional like this. Quickly getting to her feet and her back turned quickly wiping her eye to stop the tears from falling from her eyes.

[thesteedman]

"No Thereisa... Thank you." Sophia responded.

"As bad as things may seem for me right now, in spite of all the enemies I have made... watching you overcome all that you have to become the Champion and legend you are today.. it gives me inspiration and hope that I may be able to do the same. There is always a storm before the calm as they say." Sophia further added. She slowly brought herself up to her feet, wincing in some discomfort, but otherwise and thankfully mobile again. She arched her back, feeling a few uncomfortable clicks and cricks before she approached Cyber Widow, confused that she now had her back to her. She had not noticed how much her words had effected Thereisa, very much unaware how emotional she was listening to what Sophia had to say.

"I... umm...." Slowly, Sophia's presence began to descend once more. That confidence she had a moment ago began to slip away as she neared her favourite childhood wrestler.
"I hope it is not too much to ask, given all you have done for me today already... but... I... could I request your autograph?..." Sophia meekly spoke, becoming quieter and quieter as her sentence and request trailed off.

[The Riders]

"Thank You" Hearing Those words have more of an effect on Thereisa then anybody realizes.

That was all she wanted from everyone, just something to show that her career during the tie when it wasn't taken serious during her Era that she ruled. That someone saw her talent and skill meant something to someone who looked up to her, wiping her eyes to get rid of the tears that are slowly starting to drip from her eyes. Mumbling a bit under her voice as they refuse to stop falling from her face but not wanting the younger wrestler to see her like that.

"Umm sure give me a minute okay..." Wiping her eye quickly and turn's around. "Had something in my eye and sure I sign for you..." playing if off as she takes Sophia into her arms for a big hug. Hugging the smaller woman tightly not to tight to hurt her back but tight enough. "Thank you Sophia..

[thesteedman]

Sophia thought it odd that Thereisa would not face her for the moment, noticing her turn away for some reason. Sophia had yet to notice she had made her childhood heroine cry. It was only when Thereisa would finally turn to face her that she noticed a redness within her eyes, even if the tears had been wiped away by now. Sophia did not understand why... not knowing just how much her words had meant to Thereisa when she had spoken her praises and the influence Black Widow had upon her. Given Thereisa mentioned she had something in her eyes... Sophia began to realise perhaps that was not the case.

She froze however when Thereisa reached down to her, wrapping her powerful arms around her slender frame, before pulling her into a warm embrace. Sophia went stiff, her body tensing up, her thoughts racing as she did not know how to react. Black Widow was hugging her... Sophia never though such a thing was even possible. This was much grander than getting an autograph as it was something she would never forget... that said, she was also terrified... not sure how to react, whether she should hug back. When Thereisa whispered her thanks in Sophia's ear once more, Sophia felt her heart skip a beat.
"Bitte!" Sophia whispered in German with a small smile, feeling Thereisa slowly retreat.

The moment Sophia looked to regain herself however, was the moment she felt a sharp sensation in her spine, making her gasp out in pain. She clutched at her back, dropping down to one knee, feeling the aftershock as it were of Alcina's terrible bearhug. Despite Thereisa's massage, it seemed that Sophia's spine was not quite recovered. Sophia felt slightly embarrassed, struggling back up to her feet, but her movements were visibly sluggish, and it was clear from some telltale signs upon Sophia's expression that she was still in discomfort.

[The Riders]

After pulling away from hugging the younger woman in her arms. Thereisa collect's herself again taking a deep breath to see that Sophia word's meant a lot to her and she feels that maybe just maybe if she can have the support of someone like Sophia she could complete her journey for the title. This is what she needs to get over the hump that she been stuck in for a while....

Snapping out of her day dream seeing the other woman on one knee clutching her back. In the past she would have told the younger woman to toughen it out and hide the pain. A wounded animal is prey to other's in the locker room, but seeing how discomfort she is in the only thing she can do is help her out. "Hold on I got you alright just don't move to much alright."

Bending down to one knee and pressing her back against Sophia chest. Letting out a low grunt as she stands straight back up holding the other woman leg's in her hands giving Sophia a piggy back ride "Comfy back there right?. Well I'm going to take you to the massage area so you can get that back of yours looked at alright. An I'm not taking No for an answer understand." using a strange tone that sound's threatening and motherly stern at the same time, walking to the back area where the massage tables are at.

[thesteedman]

"I am fine." Sophia tried to lie, that lie more than clear as she winced in discomfort when she spoke. Despite her words, it seemed Thereisa would not have it, coming to her aid despite Sophia's words. There was a firmness when she spoke, an attitude that indicated that Thereisa would not take no for an answer. Sophia near blushed, not used to such attention, especially from someone who she considered her heroine since her childhood. Slowly, Thereisa came to her, positioning herself in such a way that she was able to back into Sophia, before powerful arms wrapped around her legs to secure a piggy back ride.

Such was the grip on her legs, Sophia realised she would not be able to escape if she tried. As such she hooked her arms onto Thereisa's shoulders, realising that there was no way out of this. Quietly however she was thankful... What had began as another gruelling day within the LAW, subjected to attacks and unwanted attentions from members of the roster... had turned into something she had not anticipated. Sophia never would have imagined that her childhood heroine would have appeared to intervene and save her from a long night of punishment... nor could she have ever anticipated having such a chance to talk to Widow... and be looked after as she was.

Normally stoic and serious, seeing her heroine in the flesh reawaken the passion within Sophia that had been dormant for so long. The emotions she felt stirring within her... was something she was not used to anymore. Dare she say... she was excited. Something she had not felt in decades, given the hard life she had been dealt and with all she had to overcome. Sophia managed a soft smile, and had no issue letting her heroine take her away... Perhaps her words had not been a lie after all... Despite her pains and ailments, for the first time in a long time.. Sophia actually did feel fine.
