HEALING HANDS (Bayley x OC)

1.47 - After the Draft

It was late into the night when the six of them—Jade, Bayley, Dakota Kai, IYO SKY, Cora Jade, and Roxanne Perez—sat together in the living room of the House Storm/Martinez, relaxed and enjoying the aftermath of a monumental evening. The energy from the draft was still fresh in their minds, but here, in the comfort of their home, the mood was laid back. Soft music played in the background, and the room was filled with the comfortable sounds of friends talking and laughing.

Jade sat next to Bayley on the couch, her head resting on her wife's shoulder. She had been quiet for a few minutes, just letting the chatter of the others wash over her. Her mind, though, had been racing with thoughts about the future. Finally, she turned to Bayley with a thoughtful expression.

"You know," Jade started, breaking the casual silence between them, "I've been thinking..."

Bayley turned her head slightly, curious. "Yeah? About what?"

Jade chuckled softly. "About us needing a bigger house."

Bayley raised an eyebrow, a playful smile on her lips. "A bigger house? Why? You're already filling this one up with all your wrestling gear."

Jade nudged her playfully. "I'm serious! Think about it. We're going to be seeing a lot more of these four now that we're all on the same brand."

Bayley's gaze shifted to the others—Cora, Roxanne, Dakota, and IYO—who were lounging around the room, laughing about something Dakota had said. The realization slowly dawned on her.

"You've got a point," Bayley admitted, her smile widening. "With all of us on RAW now, we'll probably be hanging out and traveling together a lot more. And if we're here all the time..." She trailed off, letting the thought sink in.

Jade nodded, looking around the room. "Exactly. This place is great, but I think it might start feeling a little cramped with all six of us spending so much time together."

At that moment, Dakota, who had overheard part of the conversation, raised her head from the armrest she was lounging on. "Wait, what are you two talking about? A bigger house?"

Cora, always quick to jump in, leaned forward with a grin. "Oh, are we moving in too? House of Havoc and Damage CTRL under one roof? This could get dangerous."

Jade laughed. "Not exactly. I was just saying that with all of us on RAW now, we're probably going to be spending a lot more time together. I mean, why not travel as a group? It would make things easier."

Roxanne, who had been sitting cross-legged on the floor, looked up with wide eyes. "Oh my God, you're right. We could totally travel together. Same shows, same brand... it's like a built-in road family."

IYO, who had been quiet but attentive as usual, nodded thoughtfully. "It would be fun. And we would all be together for support."

Dakota, always one for a good laugh, grinned. "Plus, think of the chaos we could cause if we were all rolling into arenas together. RAW won't know what hit them."

Bayley smiled as she glanced at the excited expressions of the others. "I can already see the headlines. House of Havoc and Damage CTRL, dominating RAW as a unit."

Jade leaned into Bayley, a satisfied look on her face. "See? A bigger house makes sense now, doesn't it?"

Bayley wrapped an arm around Jade, pulling her closer. "Alright, alright. You win. We'll start looking at places that can fit all of our collective madness."

Cora snickered. "This is going to be epic. And think about the road trips! We'll have so much more fun than traveling solo."

Roxanne clapped her hands together, her excitement bubbling over. "I've always wanted to travel with friends. And now it's actually happening!"

The conversation turned lively as they all began discussing the logistics of traveling together—who would drive, who would be in charge of music (Cora immediately claimed DJ duties), and where they'd stop along the way for food. The atmosphere was full of anticipation, the reality of their new journey together starting to sink in.

As the night went on, the six women relaxed deeper into the idea of traveling as a unit, leaning into the camaraderie that had already begun to form between them. It wasn't just about being on the same brand—it was about sharing the experience together, creating memories both in and out of the ring.

Eventually, as the conversation died down and the night grew quieter, Jade found herself staring at the ceiling, her mind racing with excitement. The future was bright—brighter than she could have ever imagined. She had her wife by her side, her closest friends with her on the same brand, and the promise of endless opportunities ahead.

Jade glanced over at Bayley, who was still deep in conversation with Dakota and Cora, and a smile tugged at her lips. Everything was falling into place. They were about to take over RAW, and nothing could stop them now.
