It was a refreshing week off, I guess. But as they say, a hero's work is never done. I got my week off, and now, it's back to work. My target is to this time, finish the job and become the CPW Siren's champion. It won't be easy, but I haveto make the most of this opportunity.
And yes, it's an opportunity. I did not ask for it. I did not demand it, I was awarded the opportunity to win the Siren's title because of my victory over Mercedes Vargas. Yes, I pinned the number one contender, and now, she's all upset, that I'm in the match. Usually, when you beat the number one contender, you become the number one contender. So, if anything, I should be upset that Mercedes is in the match in the first place. I have all the right to be upset, not her.
You had the chance Mercedes. You have the match all to yourself. All you had to do, was beat me, and then, there would be no room for you to be so upset. There wouldn't be a Roxi Johnson in the match, and you could have continued your little war against Zelda. You keep claiming you continue to get screwed time and time again, but the fact is Mercedes, you are the lucky one. First I beat you, then Heather beats you. I makes one wonder how YOU got into the match at this point. You got one win over Cynthia, and all of a sudden, you're the best thing since sliced bread. Then, you fizzled out quicker than crystal pepsi. One would think that YOU have been thrown the bone here.
You had all the momentum, and now it's all gone. Do you expect me to be scared or afraid because you decided to yell and scream like a small child who didn't get her way? Talking louder doesn't make you right. It just makes you loud. I already shut your mouth one time, because you decided to throw comic book sound effects at me, like that would effect me. Like you can just walk through someone like me without an effort. And it cost you Mercedes, Didn't it? And now, here you are, telling the world for the 100th time that you're going to win. Despite all the times you've been embarrassed over the past month.
Sure, last week, you ended up parading around with the belt, and that's all well and good, but it means nothing now. All it means is that you managed to regain a little bit of momentum that you clearly lost at the hands of people like me and Heather Stripes.
But look on the bright side Mercedes, when I defeat you and Zelda this Sunday in Canada, you can hang on to the fact that at one point, you actually held the title in your hands. Granted, it will be as close as you get to the title, but at least it's something, right?
After all, Zelda had to beat YOU to get to me, didn't she? So, if I can beat you, and she can beat you, why should either one of us worry about you? You are the dark horse, I'm not going to take you lightly, I didn't before, and I won't now. I'm just going to beat you, like I did before. Do whatever you think you need to Mercedes, you can try to be the best, but when you fail, again, it won't be a conspiracy, it won't be the deck stacked against you.
It'll be just like always, you get beat, by someone better than you.
Ta-ta.
[ Roxi stares out the window, her head drops as she appears to be deep in thought. ]
Vision - Are you okay?
Roxi - No.
Vision - I know, it's hard to think about.
Roxi - I've got to stop that monster, I just...don't know how. How do I play both sides like this?
Vision - You don't really have much of a choice. You've got to tell her. It's for her own good.
Roxi - I guess I do. I just don't want to.
Vision - Don't you love her?
Roxi - Of course, but...I can't just tell her... I'd put her in too much danger.
Vision - If she is possessed again...she's going to need your help more than ever.
Roxi - I...just...why does this stuff happen to me?
Vision - Because you are who you are. People who do what you do, we face tough situations like this all the time. The choices are never easy. You know that. Remember Andrea?
Roxi - *Sigh* I know.
Vision - It won't be easy, but I know you can do it.
Roxi - Thanks, but...I don't know anymore.
Vision - Well, the more time you waste thinking, the less you'll have to save her.
Roxi - *Sigh.* I'm going.
[ Roxi sits on the rooftop, staring out at the city, her eyes scanning everything. ]
Roxi - Where are you?
[ She looks everywhere, and there's nothing, until... ]
Cat - Are you looking for me?
Roxi - Yes. I am.
Cat - Aww, I didn't think you cared enough.
Roxi - Listen, we have to talk.
Cat - Talk? No. I don't want to talk. I want some action.
Roxi - Stop. This is serious.
Cat - You are such a party pooper.
Roxi - Stop kidding around. We need to discuss something very serious.
Cat - Unless it's about you and I taking these costumes off, I don't want to hear it.
Roxi - No. This is about your safety.
Cat - I'm sorry, that wasn't a choice.
Roxi - Stop making this difficult. It's already difficult for me.
Cat - Oh, you want a chance? Then you have to play my game.
Roxi - Sorry, Cat, that's not an option either. I just want to talk to you.
Cat - ...Okay.
Roxi - Really?
Cat - Of course, but you have to catch me first!
Roxi - No! I...
[ With that, Cat begins running as fast as she can, and Roxi has to give chase.
Cat - Come on slow poke, I can do this all night.
Roxi - Stop! Come back!
Cat - Aww, that's so sweet, but you're boring me. C'mon sweetheart, you'll have to catch me.
[ The chase continues... ]
Roxi - Stop running!
Cat - Nope.
Ugh. I'll never catch her. Wait...!
Roxi - SIN. Stop.
[ With that, Cat stops. ]
Cat - ...What did you call me?
Roxi - I know all about you. You possessed the body of Keira Fisher. I know what you've done, the pain you've caused, and I won't let you do it again.
Cat - You...
Roxi - This is what I do Sin. You may be stronger than me, but I will find a way to stop you.
Cat - How do you know so much?
Roxi - Because, I... I am a superhero. It's my job to know these things. And if you have possessed Keira again...So help me...I will find a way to stop you.
Cat - You would do that?
Roxi - Of course I would.
Cat - Really?
Roxi - Yes.
[ Cat turns away from Roxi. ]
Cat - ....
Roxi - What are you...
[ She turns back. ]
Cat - It wasn't supposed to go like this.
Roxi - What?
Cat - It was just a fun game. Just to impress Roxi.
Roxi - What?
Cat - She likes Comic books. I just wanted to take this to the next level...
Roxi - ....
Cat - It wasn't supposed to go this far.
Roxi - Keira? er...Ms. Fisher? Is that you?
Keira - It was just a joke.
Roxi - You...aren't possessed by Sin?
Keira - No. It was just supposed to be fun, but...Roxi hasn't been around lately. But you have. I've felt like...you understand me. But now, I see you've...just come to protect the city. And not play with me.
Roxi - Keira...
Keira - What?
[ Roxi sighs deeply before taking off her mask! ]
Roxi - I've been here the whole time.
[ Keira looks shocked. ]
Keira - You...really are...
Roxi - Yeah. This what I do.
Keira - You really do this?
Roxi - I do. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I didn't want to...
[ Keira puts her finger up to Roxi's mouth. ]
Keira - Shh... You don't need to say anything. Let's just...enjoy the moment.
Roxi - I guess we could -
[Keira cuts her off with a deep, passionate kiss.]
Keira - Let's go hero. You and me. Right. Now.
