No one ever understood.
Alex “Bullet” Carbajal and Angelique “Angel” LeRoux both tolerated their favorite Canadian girl’s obsession with politics and CNN. In fact, they both derived a great amount of pleasure from watching their girlfriend, Jackie “Bandit” Layton, watch and shout back at the screen the way other people did with live sporting events. It was not hard to see which “team” she supported either.
It also tended to tickle them both pink the way Bandit tended to go off at certain subjects repeatedly. Texas was a favorite target, as were Republicans, centrists, and most of the starting line-up of the White House staff and the big guns in the United States Senate.
Today, as they were packing for the trip Bandit, Bullet and their fellow Shieldmaidens, Sam “Titaness” Hamilton, “Psycho” Saoirse Maguire, Aoife “Banshee” Maguire and Katrina “Hairicin” Knox would be taking to Tokyo for the EWC pay-per-view show, Scars & Stripes, Bandit had taken to looking at her tablet for updates on various news items as she usually did. Titaness would be competing in the main event while Bullet, Bandit and Psycho competed in the mystery match. Banshee was making the trip as their ringside manager while Hairicin was going just to watch over her fiancée in Banshee. As she flips through updates, she comes across an ad for the show on Friday and shakes her head.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Does Donald fucking Trump run this show now or something?
Angel smirks playfully, clearly anticipating the answer that will be coming for this one.
Angelique "Angel" LeRoux: Why?
Bandit holds up her tablet so Angel can see what’s on the screen.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Because only somebody that addled and functionally unwell would think this was a good idea? American exceptionalism and idiocy at its finest!
Bullet starts to raise a hand to slow Bandit down. She knew that when the young Canadian woman got like this, she would get bogged down and not focus on the task at hand that she was supposed to be actually completing.
AMC: Jack? [/font]
Bandit wheels on Bullet before the Shieldmaidens President can even get the thought truly started.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Seriously, Ale, whose idea was this and do these people not fucking read a damn thing? Have they never paid attention to anything historical unless it has Mel Gibson having himself tortured for three hours in it?
Just then, Bullet’s younger sister, Shieldmaidens Prospect Gabriela “Taza” Carbajal, walks into the room, frowning after having heard the commotion. It wasn’t that she wasn’t used to hearing such things since she had moved into the house nearly a year previously, it just always piqued the young Colombian’s interest to see what had set off her defacto sister-in-law this time.
Gabriela "Taza" Carbajal: What is going on?
Angel nods knowingly towards Bandit, the smirk still on her face telling Taza all she really needs to know about the nature of the conversation being had.
Angelique "Angel" LeRoux: Jack’s about to have one of her “Fuck America” moments…
As Taza starts to hold in a laugh, just as Angel and Bullet have been doing, Bandit’s eyes almost bulge clean out of her head.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: I am NOT!
Bullet nods right back to her oldest friend.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: Si, es la verdad.
Taza’s smile lessens slightly as curiosity gets the better of her.
Gabriela "Taza" Carbajal: ¿Por qué ?
Bandit stomps her foot in protest.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: I do not hate America! Just… the stupid parts…
Taza just stares at her sister, confusion reigning over the younger Carbajal’s face. Bullet nods to her as Angel just shakes her head.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: The show on Friday…
Bandit’s right hand squeezes into a fist.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Honest to God, this show is supposed to be a pay-per-view but what makes it any different from a regular, run-of-the-mill Friday Night Rampage? The card is smaller, there’s two title matches that they could do any time they wanted…
Shaking her head, Bandit glances back at Bullet and Angel.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: One of which, it’s bullshit by the way that Scorpio gets to be the challenger after she’s already pinned him twice. Why is he challenging her and not the other way around?
She raises a hand as Bullet starts to answer.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: I know they slung some politician-level bullshit but come on, if this is supposed to be a pay-per-view main event, that should be Scorpio defending against Sam, not them trying to let Scorpio slip back into being a double champion without ever giving Sam her rightful shot at the big one, especially after the rosters just got purged so they can’t even hide behind saying the line is just too damn long like some demented Kayla McEnanny or Sarah Sanders was delivering the message from somebody even less credible that doesn’t have the balls to come out and do anything but sling…
Again, Bullet starts to raise her hands to try and calm the young Canadian down.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: Jack…
Bandit tosses her tablet onto the couch to her right.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: And who the fuck is the travel agent for this brand? This calendar year we’ve gone from Long Beach to Milwaukee to Brooklyn to Atlanta to Las Vegas to Raleigh to London…
Trailing off, she steps over to the couch and hecks the list again.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Then Houston, Vancouver and now Tokyo. Our last four shows have been in four different countries on three continents, as if whoever is booking these has been seen a fucking globe before!
Taza can’t believe her ears.
Gabriela "Taza" Carbajal: People still use those?
Bandit gives her tablet a couple of swipes and then shows it to Taza.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Damn, that was hard, it took me two seconds to get an image of the world and see, “Oh, these cities are nowhere near each other, let’s travel to them as if they’re all in the same fucking state!
Bullet walks over to Bandit, both hands up, palms out.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: Calmate… calmate…
Angel walks over as well, a sweet smile replacing the playful smirk.
Angelique "Angel" LeRoux: Is the plane ready for the trip?
Bandit nods slowly.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Yes. I even have the back-up flight crew ready so they can go in shifts. We go pick up Sam and then start the trek out there to Tokyo, wrestle our matches for EWC Rampage at Scar & Stripes and then fly back right away, sleeping on the plane, to fight in Rome for SRW.
Angel and Bullet noth nod quickly, approvingly.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Matter of fact, the plane already went to pick Sam up. When she gets here, we head out and…
She grits her teeth.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Get ready to go for a pay-per-view that is inexplicably in Japan, called Scar & Stripes, in between Canada and the United States’ birthdays…
As Bullet and Angel both start to try and calm her, Bandit waves her hand dismissively.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Nevermind, I don’t wanna think on that anymore. I already have enough to worry about with Nezumi, Winterborn, the Melon Club and whoever else they get to show up for this. Let’s just go throw our stuff together and get ready to be some jet lagged motherfuckers come Friday.
Bullet snickers.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: We’ve had our stuff together for hours now, Jack. You made sure of that…
Bandit nods slowly as her phone chimes at her.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: That’s our cue. I’ll message Sorsh, Eef and Harry to meet us at the airfield.
She pauses and then grins.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Let’s go kick some ass!
