[ Roxi returns to her apartment, still smarting from the "Rest in Pieces she recieved before being pinned Monday by Enigma. But, otherwise, she seems to be doing okay. ]
Vision - Hey Rox, you...feelin' okay?
Roxi - I got dropped on my head Vision.
Vision - So, you're good then?
Roxi - Ha. ha. Very funny.
Vision - Seriously though, you alright?
Roxi - I'll make it. Me and Mr. Mystery will tangle again, he can count on it.
Vision - Well, I think you did pretty well in your first match in a long time.
Roxi - It's like riding a bike, or doing advanced calculus. Once you learn, you never forget.
Vision - Did you even take Calculus?
Roxi - No.
Vision - It's not easy.
Roxi - My point still stands.
[ He sighs and shakes is head.
Vision - Well, I did get word that next week, you're in a three-way instead of a four-way.
Roxi - That sounds vaguely sexual.
Vision - That's because you have a dirty mind.
Roxi - Point taken. Who is it this week.
Vision - Actually, you get Castiel again.
[ She rolls her eyes. ]
Roxi - Ugh. Not for nothing, but does that mean I get another sermon again?
Vision - Probably.
Roxi - Great. Just great.
Vision - Well, at least you get to face one new person.
Roxi - Who?
Vision - Sonja Maria Lickinova
Roxi - Sounds vaguely foreign.
Vision - She's Russian.
[ She thinks about this a minute. ]
Roxi - ...Oh my god.
Vision - What?
Roxi - Do you know what this means?
Vision - Oh god.
Roxi - I get to save the world from a commie!
Vision - She's Russian. Not Soviet. She's not old enough to be a Communist.
Roxi - Not just MPW, but the whole world. That will get some real recognition within the Guild.
Vision - No, Roxi, the Soviet Empire...
Roxi - Went out in 1989, I know. But didn't you see that episode of Seinfeld? Elaine DATED a communist.
Vision - That guy wasn't Russian.
Roxi - Or...was he?
Vision - ....
Roxi - ....
[ ..... ]
Vision - NO! He wasn't.
Roxi - Oh.
Vision - Sometimes, I really worry about you.
Roxi - Aww.
Vision - Actually, I'm more worried about you with your next assignment.
Roxi - Why's that?
Vision - It's a stakeout.
Roxi - So?
Vision - With Commando.
[ Her eyes widen ]
Roxi - Why?
Vision - He's the tracker, but it's in your area.
Roxi - Commando is such a tool.
Vision - I don't like him either.
Roxi - I'm sure it'll be fine.
Vision - You think so?
Roxi - Of course. I have a charming personality.
Vision - Rox...do me a favor.
Roxi - Okay.?
Vision - Come out of this alive.
Roxi - ....
I feel like I let myself down in that match last week. Roll of the Dice would have been great to get into, and I let myself get beat by not putting in the effort. I really think I let one slip away. And because of that, I'm stuck fighting two people again. I'm not seeing it as a demotion, but rather, a motivator. I should have had that one, and it got away. Getting dropped on my head didn't help matters either. But the only thing to do is learn from it.
[ She stands on the rooftop overlooking The Ivory tower hotel and casino, a small, 3 story building. Commando is pearched in a sniper spot, and they wait. She looks through the binoculars. ]
Roxi - (singing) On the Eleventh day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight ....something something
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!
[ Commando looks at her as she bobs her head to the song. ]
Roxi - On the twelfth day of Christmas -
Commando - Hey!
Roxi - What?
Commando - You have been singing Christmas songs for the entire five hours of this stakeout. And Christmas is a good four months away. If you sing so much as one more note... I will shoot you.
Roxi - You need to lighten up.
Commando - I'm telling you now.
Roxi - Why so grumpy, prickle puss?
Commando - Did anyone ever tell you, you talk too much?
Roxi - Hasn't stopped me yet.
Commando - The point of this stakeout is to find out target, and do it without anyone noticing.
Roxi - We're 20 stories up. I don't think they have snipers looking hundreds of feet UP, into the sky.
Commando - They could.
Roxi - You know what we should do?
Commando - Get back to work.
Roxi - We should play a game.
Commando - No.
Roxi - How about "I spy?"
Commando - No.
Roxi - The name game?
Commando - No.
Roxi - Battleship?
Commando - No.
Roxi - Clue?
Commando - No. No. No. Now be quiet and watch.
[ A few brieg moments of silence follow. Then, Roxi starts to hum "jingle bells". Finally, Commando cocks his rifle and aims it at her. ]
Commando - Go ahead....Make my Christmas.
Roxi - Geez, you gotta get out more.
[ He double takes after looking down the rifle scope. ]
Commando - There's our man.
[ Commando calls the Guild Base. ]
Commando - Guild Base, this Commando, target sighted. Permission to take the...
[ He looks again through the sight. ]
Commando - Guild Base we have another problem.
[ Roxi stares through the binos. ]
Roxi - That's....that's Blood Priest! But who's that with him?
Commando - Sister Shadow.
Read: Sonja.
Roxi - What do we do now Soldier?
Commando - Time to go undercover. This could be big.
Roxi - How do we do that?
[ He smirks ]
Commando - Actually, this is all yours.
Roxi - What?
Commando - Priest knows me, and so does Shadow, but they don't know you. Have Vision hack into the Casino's registry and get you a reservation. And then, observe them.
Roxi - This is because I sang, isn't it?
Commando - Maybe.
Roxi - Why is it the Girl has to do this?
Commando - Me and undercover don't work so well. Plus, I got a hunch they're working for someone even bigger.
Roxi - You do?
Commando - I was tracking Evan Childress.
Roxi - The Philanthropist?
Commando - Maybe by day, but by night, criminal.
Roxi - Well, he is part of the 1%.
Commando - See if he's there. If he is, get close. Find out if he knows anything.
Roxi - Ugh...
Commando - What?
Roxi - Does that mean I have to seduce him?
Commando - Heh. You should be so lucky.
Hey, a guy with a lot of money who will shower me with gifts? I could dig that.
Roxi - Tell me about it.
Commando - Just be....be Roxi. The wrestler.
Roxi - Yeah, yeah, you're not the one who has to find a dress at this time of night.
[ Roxi returns to her apartment, and peels off her mask, and begins hunting in her closet. ]
Vision - Back so soon?
Roxi - Vision, we got work to do.
Vision - What's up.
Roxi - I need a reservation to Ivory Tower.
Vision - Why?
Roxi - Going undercover.
Vision - Oh, oh boy.
Roxi - Hack into the registry and get me a reservation, I'm sure Roxi Johnson can get in there, right?
Vision - Yeah. I thought Commando was going to take care of this.
Roxi - Not with Blood Priest and Sister Shadow around.
Vision - You're going undercover with supervillians there?
Roxi - Hey, Nobody knows Roxi Johnson and Lady Bedlam are one in the same.
Vision - You sure?
Roxi - I think.
Only one way to find out.
Vision - What...are you looking for?
Roxi - A dress.
Vision - You own a dress?
Roxi - Yes. Why?
Vision - I didn't think you were the type.
Roxi - I'm not. But you never know when you're gonna have to dress up.
Vision - Why do you need to dress up?
Roxi - I have to get close to Evan Childress.
Vision - Why?
Roxi - Commando suspects he may be leading Blood Priest and Sister Shadow, or he hired them.
Vision - This is getting more dangerous by the minute.
Roxi - I know. Isn't it great?
Vision - *sigh*
Roxi - Hey, I've never actually heard of Sister Shadow, she new in town?
Vision - Let me bring her up.
[ Her picture pops up on the screen.]
Vision - She's Russian. Like Sonja. Extremely skilled with knives. Also like Priest, she's...somewhat religious.
Roxi - Oh great, TWO sermons.
Vision - Just...be careful. And watch Childress. Something about him...bugs me.
Roxi - I'll be careful.
Well, I hope this works. Dealing with Castiel, Sonja, Blood Priest & Sister Shadow a the same time? Sometimes leading a double life isn't what it's cracked up to be. None the less, I feel confident going into Monday night, that I can win, and really, that I will win. That is, if I survive going undercover. I just have to hope Blood Priest doesn't remember me. He did take my mask last time. Luckily I had my hair dyed, so he thinks Lady Bedlam is a brunette. But good old red haired wrestling superstar Roxi Johnson could easily slip in here. It's just getting close to Childress may require...a lot. Like MPW requires a lot. A lot of my time. I'm sure Casitel will have some more sermons for me, as if I don't get enough already. and Sonja, will stumble her way through a promo. I'm more worried about Shadow and Priest.
Hey, Bill Adams should be paying me for this public appearance. I'm getting his company some exposure.
Now, if I were a billionaire playboy philanthropist criminal person...where would I be?
