In the Steele brothers barn turned gym. Adam is sitting looking through a box in the glow of a reading lamp, he slightly chuckles to himself, as he picks up a few childhood pictures of him and Matt. Slowly he sorts through them and his smile begins to fade, he looks through the pictures of Matt's time in Japan and Matt's time in the UK, and he can feel how the anger and frustration fills his whole being. Finally on the bottom of the box he finds two pictures of himself, from his own career, pictures where he stands tall, arms raised in victory. He looks on the back of them one says 2006 CXW tournament winner, the other my debut 2004.
Slowly he throws them back and packs the box away, before walking out the door into the cool evening breeze. He leans his head back and looks up at the sky, thinking about his dreams in the past of reaching up and grabbing the stars. Suddenly he is ripped from his thoughts by Matt, who comes storming out from the house
Adam!!!! AAAAAAdddddddaaaaaammmmm!!!!
Annoyed Adam looks at his little brother, but at the same time he feels a little shame, cause how can he feel so angry towards his own blood
What is it?
Out of breath Matt finally reaches him
Ther....there is no.... no dinner
Then make some
I can't you forbid me to use the stove
A dark shadow glides over Adams face as he stares down, clinching his fist
Well its about damn time you learn to take care of yourself
Confused Matt stares at his brother
But why? I have you
That is exactly why!!!!.... I am god damn tired of being your nanny, I'm tired of having to put up with your stupid games and ideas...
With fury emanating from every fiber in his body Adam looks up at his brother with burning eyes
and I'm god damn tired of being a loser because of you!!!
Now its Matt looking down on the ground with a sad, apologetic look on his face
I'm sorry, I just wanted to...
Still enraged Adam cuts him off
What do you want Matt huh? To have fun, to get cheered to be adored? I'm so fucking tired of living in your shadow, you might had the success you wanted and needed, but it was on my expense. I was the one, who kept you on the right track, I was the one negotiating your contracts and what the hell do I have to show for it.... NOTHING!!!!
I just wanted to be the best I could
Furiously Adam pushes his brother in the chest
Don't give me that shit Matt, you wanted to do all the fun stuff, but never took responsibility. You never had anyone other than yourself in mind and you proved that clearly last week
Matt tries to hold his angry brother off, pushing his hands away
I wanted to help....
Again the furious Adam cuts him of still marching forward trying to attack his brother
YOURSELF!!!... Don't deny it Matt you will always just be a spotlight whore and if you to stupid to...
In a mix of instinct and rage, unleashed by the word stupid, Matt knocks his brother to the ground with a right hook.
I told you NEVER to call me that!!!!
Slowly Adam rises his head bowed, Matt starts to looked nervous by his brothers calm and silent behavior. Then suddenly the younger Steele feels pain shooting through his forehead as Adam nails him with a headbutt that knocks him over. Surprised the younger Steele brother sits up, as his big brother turns around and walks away
I'm' going out!!!
Matt just stares after his brother as he disappears out in the sunset
Hours later Adam is sitting at a bar slamming down beers, he has already had a few to many and has started to talk to anyone who listens
Y'know I could have been a superstar by now if I wasn't dragging Matt's lazy ass around.... I had my own dreams y'know
Not even listening the barkeeper nods understandingly as Adam continues
Hadn't it been for me taking care of his dumb as, Matt wouldn't be anything and I would have been much more.... give me one more.... I could have won last week hadn't he come to steal the spotlight.... thanks.... but this week this week I....
He dozes off for a second before suddenly waking up and continuing
This week will be different... I am fighting a big bad nightmare hihi... Named Clay... I mean what kind of name is that?
A guy on sitting a little further down turns to him with an irate look
My name's Clay, you got a problem with that?
Almost falling off his stool Adam quinces his eyes to get a look at the guy, before turning back to his beer waving the guy off
No your no nightmare.... terror.... thingy.... no the guy I'm going up against is a big meanie... and his brother is just like Matt... I guess... think...
With that he drops down off the stool and everything goes black.
The next morning he wakes up in an unfamiliar apartment, to the smell of bacon, eggs and coffee, he sits up and grabs his head, which is feeling pretty bad.
Awww ohhh my head, where the hell am I did I score or...
Just then Jimmy Fatal comes walking into the room with a cup of coffee in his hand
Good your awake
Please tell me your not the worlds ugliest women and I scored with you
Don't worry, I found you passed out at a bar... Matt called me and told me what happened
He did?
Well it took him sometime to figure out that his Turtles phone didn't work, but eventually he got a hold of me
He hands Adam the coffee as he sits down in a chair and stares at the hung over Steele
Spare me the lecture Jimmy, I am not an alcoholic, I just needed to blow off some steam
I know, but what the hell is going on with you, Matt is freaking out, he said you were angry with him
Steele takes a sip of the hot dark brew Jimmy calls coffee and quickly puts the cup down
I was... I am.... Hell I don't know anymore, he is my brother, but it pisses me off that we never get anywhere. We had so many goes at those damn belts and every time HE ruins it, because of his lame ass antics
Fatal looks puzzled by Adam's explanation
You've been part of those antics as far as I recall
Well true, but someone has to look out for him.... I just can't do it anymore... I'm tired of losing and I am tired of being a joke
Slowly Adam stands and walks over to a window staring out into the morning air
I just want a chance to prove that I am more than Matt Steele's brother, I want to earn my stripes and prove guys like the Night Terrors wrong.... I know I can beat this guy Clay, but I need Matt for once to have my back and keep Samuel out of the way.
He turns to face Jimmy
This Clay guy is big, but the bigger they are the harder they fall, I might not be the biggest guy in this business, but I know I'm one of the toughest and I want to show that. I just need Matt to focus on his task for once.... I'm not sure if its possible now though with everything that went down
Jimmy smiles at him and nods
ยจ
For now take it easy, have some breakfast, if you want you can stay here until tomorrow let things cool down a bit
Awesome!!!
Adam grabs the remote and jumps onto the couch turning on Cartoon Network and making himself comfortable
You got any Gummy bears?
