~flashback 10 years ago~

The newbie Athena Munroe was walking around trying to figure out where to go. She just started CZW and already her anxiety was going crazy. This was way out of her comfort zone but her father had made a comment on how she wouldn't last so she was determined to prove him wrong.

Lost in her thoughts she ran into someone and she could hear people whispering on how she was screwed. Looking up slowly she was face to face with a man who had dirty blond hair down to his shoulders.

"I-I-I'm sorry.. i wasn't paying attention.." Athena felt blush rising to her face as she stuttered over herself.

The man stood there silently watching the girl curiously. When she looked down again in embarrassment he smirked.

"don't worry 'bout it doll. You lost?" Not wanting to embarrass herself further she just nodded.

"Stick with me kid. I'll show you the ropes."

Athena mumbled quietly causing the man to look back at her. "What was that sweetheart?"

"I said i'm not a kid."

"Whatever you say."

Athena jogged slightly to catch up as the guy started walking away.

"So stranger. You got a name?"

"Jon Moxley."
———

The pair stuck together through thick and thin. Almost a year after they met Athena opened up about why she was in CZW. That was always Moxley's biggest question. Why was a girl like her fighting here of all places? Once he found out her father didn't believe in her he wanted to help her prove him wrong.

But now Moxley was leaving. Athena sat as she watched Mox pack. The air was tense and no words have been spoken. Athena felt betrayed and hurt. While Mox didn't want to say anything to upset Athena.

"If you fold your clothes you can fit more in your suitcase."

"You know i don't know how to fold clothes doll."

Smiling sadly, Athena took all the clothes out of his suitcase and started folding them. Mox watched the girl fondly. He was in no way shape or form an emotional guy but with Athena it was different.

"Thena. You know why i have to go right?"

"I know Mox. Just gonna miss you."

Mox pulled Athena into a hug and kissed her head. He wanted to reassure her that they will be together again but he knew it was unlikely. He will move on to bigger things and forget to go back to the one person who means anything to him and Athena knew that.

"You didn't answer my question. Why are you here?"

The pair were in the locker room. Dean was pacing while Athena was sitting on the bench with her back against the wall.

"Which one? You asked quite a few."

"Don't fuck with me Athena! Why are you here?!"

Athena smiled as she watched Mox take over. Sure Dean was alright but Mox was her friend. The one she got used to, trusted, loved.

"I'm here because if you keep going down this road you will lose your job and in retrospect you will lose everything you fought for!"

"I'm just fine and i don't need you!"

Getting frustrated with his attitude Athena stood up and scoffed. "You don't need me? Fine. It was nice seeing you Dean."

Walking past him she slammed her shoulder into him before slamming the door behind her. Dean stood there quietly fighting with himself on whether he should go after her. But being the stubborn person he is decides against it.
