The Plan

Chapter 31: Training Day

Rhea was in the locker room she shared with Damian after her night of destruction gathering the last of her belongings as she hummed under her breath.

"I am in love with you....you set me free....i can't do this thing...." She muttered quietly to herself absentmindedly as her fingers toyed with the pendant around her neck.

The sound of the door creaking open broke her from her song, eyes snapping to the door on high alert. Her shoulders relaxed instantly when she saw it was just Damian.

"Heading out?" He asked, watching her as she stuffed her bag.

"Yup," Rhea declared, popping the P sound. "I've done everything I need to do tonight." The mischievous smirk on her face as she peered over her shoulder at him told Damian all he needed to know, making him chuckle as he shook his head.

"You seem to be in a good mood."

Rhea just shrugged, she was in a good mood. A great mood actually; Liv got hit with a literal reality check, Raquel was no longer an issue, Finn was spiraling, and Jey— well she didn't care too much about him to begin with so that was just a nice little treat for her.

Everything was coming together thanks to Dominik. She took a step back for once, she trusted him, and he delivered. Now all that was left was for her to win her title back at Survivor Series and this would all be over.

Rhea was so proud of Dominik, he had successfully isolated Liv from everyone and destroyed the judgment day in the process. It was only a matter of time before Finn's ego would push JD and Carlito away if it hadn't already and Damian would be sure to put the final nail in Finn's coffin and end this one sided feud once and for all.

She sighed to herself in contentment, pleased with everything falling into place. But then she remembered—

Dominik's title match.

Was he ready? Had he even been preparing for it with everything else he had on his plate? Did he reach out to Damian like she told him to?

The thought made her head snap over to Damian.

"Have you talked to Dom recently?"

Damian made a face. "Nah, not since the tag titles thing.

Rhea rolled her eyes. Of course he hadn't, Dominik was prideful and she knew it, but she wasn't about to let Dominik's pride get in the way of their quest for absolute domination.

"I need a favor." She said simply.

"You need a favor, or Dominik does?" Damian asked, crossing his arms against his chest, already not liking where this was going.

"Both."

This just made Damian roll his eyes.

"I need you to reach out to him and offer to help him get ready for Gunther. The match is getting closer and he needs to train with someone who can actually help him and well, I can't really do it myself with our...situation." Rhea explained.

Damian's hands moved to rest on his hips by this point, his head tilted to the side in disbelief.

"You want me to help the person who took my title shot potentially win the title I'm trying to get back? Yeah, no." He scoffed.

"Damian!" Rhea groaned. "This is bigger than that and you know it!"

Damian let out a sharp breath through his nose, pinching the bridge of it with his fingers. "Rhea, come on. You really expect me to help him?"

Rhea narrowed her eyes, dropping her bag and stepping closer, placing her hands on her hips. "Yes, yes I do actually."

Damian scoffed, shaking his head. "And why the hell would I do that?"
