Be My Shield

Meeting the Boss

Previously in this story:
I replied, "I won't.". I realized that Danny took off running, maybe for security or something like that. I got up and tried to run away, but I couldn't. Puppy dog dude cornered me between some crates. He reminded me of John's 'bad days.'. The fear crep up on me.

Puppy dog dude yelled at me, "What did you say? And who are you?"

I closed my eyes and fell to my knees and braced for an impact. Either that, or this was all some crazy dream and it wasn't real.

Well, the pain in my knees told me that I was in reality, and the impact never came. I opened my eyes and saw Puppy Dog's blue eyes looking into my eyes. I said even quieter, "I won't. I am Joanna Beth Winchester, call me Jo. I am just the performer here.". I whispered to myself, "Please don't hurt me."

I closed my eyes once again, the fear consuming me from the inside out.

Jo's Point of View
I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder, and I opened one of my eyes. I was very wary, because of my past. I saw Puppy Dog's eyes, and I was about to scream.

Until his long haired friend said, "We don't hurt innocents. I'm Roman Reigns."

I replied back, "Well, I'm Joanna Beth Winchester. I thought I was going to get hurt.". I was on the group and looking up at the towering figures behind me.

Two tones came up to me and said, "Seth Rollins. Nice to meet you, Jo."

Finally, Puppy Dog spoke, "I'm Dean Ambrose. We're the Shield."

"A Shield...from what?"

"From whoever steps in our way."

I laughed at this, and I knew that these three...I could trust them. I just somehow knew. "Does that include me, Mr. Ambrose?"

"Nope."

I got up and smiled at the three of them and I finally noticed Mr. McMahon's office. "Oh my Castiel! I'm late to meet the Chuck of this company!"

I ran towards the office and I heard the Shield follow. "Who's Chuck?" Dean managed to finally get that out after catching up to me.

"It's a Supernatural reference, you wouldn't understand, but if you did,-"

Mr. McMahon stepped out of his office, "Then you would salt and burn. My daughter watches Supernatural, and she tells me that all the time."

I turned around and said, "I tell that to people all of the time too. That and my other favorite line is, "I'm a fangirl, I can't be control."
My face was beat red out of embarrassment.

Mr. McMahon then replied to me, "Well, then in that case Jo, I'm guessing you are a Divergent fangirl. You'll understand this reference then: Welcome to Dauntless.". He shook my hand and said to me, "Welcome to the family business also."

I smiled at him, "Why thank you. What would you like me to do for your company?"

"Amuse the crowds before the show by singing. I am not going to tell you what to sing, just go.". He finally noticed the Shield behind me, "And you three, and Jo too, please go into my office."

I walked in ever so quietly, just in awe that I was standing in the founder of this company's office. To me, it wasn't real, it was just a fleeting dream.

The three boys sat down at the desk, while I stood next to them. Mr. McMahon sat down and said to me, "Abnegation, aren't we today, Ms. Winchester?"

I started to roll into the manifesto for the Abnegation faction, one that I have memorized by heart,"I will be my undoing If I become my obsession.
I will forget the ones I love If I do not serve them.
I will war with others If I refuse to see them.
Therefore I choose to turn away from my reflection,
To rely not on myself
But on my brothers and sisters,
To project always outward
Until I disappear."

"Then why are you here, in Dauntless, Ms. Winchester?". I could tell that he was joking about this, but the Shield couldn't.

"I couldn't be Stiff my whole life. I want to be selfless and brave."

He laughed, "Anyhow, you three boys are going to be associated with CM Punk. Tonight, during his match with John and John Cena, you will come in, interfere by attacking John, and help Punk retain. And Jo, you are going to make people suspicious of your connections with the Shield. Eventually, you might get involved. Do you four have any questions?"

Dean replied, "Nope."

Mr. McMahon then replied, "That went much easier than I thought. Well, then, I suggest that Jo gets ready for her debut tonight. You three get ready for yours too."

I shook his hand very quickly and said, "Thank you for letting me have this opportunity, Vince."

"No problem. I expect great things from you, Jo."

"I will fulfill that expectation. Thank you.". I then walked out of Mr.McMahon's office. The only thought that I came through my head was, What have I done with meeting these boys?
