Another loss. Shameful. For Damian Angel, these losses have started becoming all too common. And as they do, his frustration has begin to mount upon itself. He was never one to obsess over the win/loss column. For Damian, there was always a way to look beyond the numbers, to measure just how impactful his actions have been. And one can argue that Damian may have had the greatest impact out of anyone in SCW. He had dragged CHBK out of retirement twice to face him. He forced CHBK down to “his level”, forcing the beloved SCW legend to set him on fire in order to stop his torment. Months later, he forced Greg Cherry to do the same thing, something both men had taken with a very grave mindset. So why then was he only now starting to feel the gravity of his losses? He can have the entire SCW eating out of the palm of his hand on a moment’s notice if he so desired. Why were the numbers finally starting to take their toll on him? Or is it the numbers at all that is eating Damian right now…? As our scene rises up, we can see Damian Angel standing alone in the rain, hovering over a tombstone at the cemetery. He has a long black jacket on and carries no umbrella. As the rain hits his head, bursting on impact, he just looks down at the tomb, belonging to Katherine Blackmore… or Kitty Black, Damian’s former companion who was murdered outside the O2 in England following an SCW pay per view event. Her final resting place had become a refuge for him, a place to turn to when the world around him became overwhelming… a place to feel at peace. But now, there is no peace. Damian: I have failed you… He snickers to himself. “Failure” was not a concept that Damian was too comfortable embracing. He was always able to find some measure of success in even the largest of failures. But this feeling was bitter… empty… Damian: I’ve begun losing sight of what my… what our mission was. I’ve lost focus. I… Damian laughs, almost disgusted with what he is about to say. Damian: I have stood in the presence of Alex Desoubrais multiple times without so much as raising a hand against him. And for what? It’s obvious he’ll only ever see the man that kidnapped his little girl and held her for days. A smirk… Damian: And maybe that’s all he should see. It is not him I act for, but rather, the daughter… Sasha Drachewych. She is trusting, in general. Almost too trusting. I thought she might want someone watching from the shadows, ensuring that those who might exploit her would be summarily removed. And while that has been the case, even I cannot be in all places at once. Damian’s head drops, his voice going to a lower volume. Damian: Jason Zero got her. Chaos Theory. And I was standing backstage. When I passed him on the ramp, I saw in his eyes the look that was in mine throughout the taunting of CHBK. And I hated it. The idea that I was like… that. This is not like me. But maybe it’s what I need to be. The rain continues to pour. Damian walks over to the tombstone, kissing the top of it. Damian: I love you, Katherine. You always knew just how to comfort me… I think I will stay here with you a little while longer. As Damian kneels down beside the tombstone, resting on it, the scene fades to black. |
