Shiniest Resilience (OC x Tegan Nox)

Chapter 36 P.A.3.K. meets Killian Dain

September 11, 2019
WWE NXT
Full Sail University
Winter Park, Florida

P.A.3.K. was able to return to Full Sail after being advised to sit out. He takes some time to readjust to the environment despite being there 2 weeks ago. For him however, even a week away feels like an eternity away.

As he began his stretching exercises, Dakota walks in and taps the busy former MMA Fighter-turned-NXT Superstar

P.A.3.K.: Ahh! *shocked then sees Dakota* Why'd you do that?

Dakota: Oh, I didn't know big guy gets scared *giggles* How are you doing?

P.A.3.K.: Oh, I'm doing fine. I just got back and...

Dakota: I meant you and Steff silly *smiles*

P.A.3.K.: Oh, we've been talking a lot

Dakota: Just talking? I thought you two were getting you know, intimate?

P.A.3.K.: Intimate how?

Dakota facepalms at P.A.3.K.'s comment.

Dakota: Tell me she is your first girlfriend now

P.A.3.K.: Well she is

Dakota: Oh and you two...right, you two will figure it out somehow given the distance *giggles* Good luck tonight but don't let her know I beat her to the good luck well wishing

Dakota runs away with P.A.3.K. left with an eyebrow raised.

WWE NXT
Middle of the first hour

Alicia Taylor: The following contest is set for one fall. First from Tondo....

As P.A.3.K. was making his way down the ramp, Killian Dain attacks him from behind as a brawl ensued. Killian threw punches while P.A.3.K. was still partly injured but didn't let the assault go unanswered. 

Both big men brawled on to the rampway until referees came in and separated the two parties. Killian was still aggressively wanting to brawl as P.A.3.K. was being tended to by the medical staff present. Killian was then led away from the rampway to the boos of the crowd as the staff deemed P.A.3.K. unable to compete.

Wade: Oh such a fragile pathetic man. A little scrapping took him out?

Vic: OH come on Wade! As if you'd still be able to compete after a nefarious assault...

Wade: It is what it is. We all saw how pathetic P.A.3.K. is and we thank Killian for exposing that fraud and disgrace to the industry.

Vic: Stop it!

Trainer's Office
P.A.3.K. was done being evaluated as William Regal walks into the office

Regal: I see you're doing okay P.A.3.K.

P.A.3.K.: Don't suspend him. Please. Give me one more chance against that brute

Regal: You know I won't suspend him. But I do know you will take matters into your hands but just be careful and do not do anything regrettable. You came back after the assault from the Undisputed Era and I cannot risk a talent of your caliber going down for good due to recklessness

P.A.3.K.: Mr. Regal, please do not forget I am resilient

Regal: I will take your word for it. Next week you have Killian Dain once more.

P.A.3.K.: Thank you, Mr. Regal

Regal walks off as P.A.3.K. looks down, plotting for next week's NXT.

Timeskip to Tegan's House
P.A.3.K. had freshened up after NXT wrapped up for the day. He suddenly received a Video call from Tegan. As he answered, Tegan was all worried  

Tegan: Are you okay?!?!

P.A.3.K.: Yeah luv. Got the greenlight for the match next week

Tegan: Just be careful! I don't want you sitting out for when I return back to the ring

P.A.3.K.: Yes, yes, don't worry. By the way, any progress on that rehab?

Tegan: Oh, I will be up and about again *smiles* sadly *yawns*

P.A.3.K.: It's late there you know *chuckles* Later than late than here

Tegan: Alright luv. I will sleep *puckers her lips*

P.A.3.K. puckered his lips back as if both kissed one another before turning off the video camera.

Both called it a night before resting for their activities on the next days to come.
