WHAT ARE WE THANKFUL FOR?
"God, look at this glorious meal."
Judge sat at the head of a long table decked with all the Thanksgiving holiday trimmings. A golden bronzed turkey, ham glistening with juices from toothpicked slices of pineappel, pumpkin pie, beets soaking in beat juice, mashed potatoes with the richest brownest gravy, and lastly a rubar pie.
On each side of Judge sat the Irish twins Harker and Olen, and lastly on the other end of the table is a still beaten and broken Cory Steel handcuffed to his chair.
"I can never say it enough gentleman," Judge continued standing up with a large cutting knife and fork, "If the Lord wills it there will water. Today he guided my sweet Mexican nannys hand as she prepared this meal, God is great."
"God is great!" the one twin belted as the other mumbled incoherently the same thing. Cory just stared down at his empty plate and remained silent.
Judges face didn't hide his annoyance but he pushed on, "We all have a lot to be thankful for an I right? We wake up every morning, of course as us men go and preform our country duties, other scrape by doing absolutely nothing! I know I'm thankful for my service to my country, Mrs. C, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Milk Duds, and my baby brother," he began to cut the turkey laying large slices on the plates of both the twins, "Who I don't believe is as thankful for my services in pushing him back into the Underground limelight! Ripping that silent bandaid of savagry off so he can be who he really is...like me..."
"Fuck you," Cory finally spoke and it was low but Judge heard him, "When I get my hands on you, I am going to kill you."
Judge smirked, "That doesn't sound thankful. I'll give you a second to rethink that thought Cory, Harker what are you thankful for?"
With a mouth full of mashed potatoes Harker spits out, "I'm thankful for me brother, me anchor to tha' hard world. I am thankful for you Judge, you saved me and my brother at our lowest point during the war. Mostly we both be thankful fer the strength our Lord blessed us with."
Olen harps a mumbled agreement, "It was my Godly service Harker and Olen and but I thank you, see Cory? I saved them like I saved you, only I am having to save your pathetic ass twice! Now once again, with a fucking smile of appreciation what are you thankful for?"
Cory smirks, "Fuck you," spitting at Judge, instead the spittle drops and hits the turkey. Judge yells in frustration grabbing the mashed potatoe bowl and smashing it into Corys face!
"You ungrateful," he grabs the gravy drowning Cory in it as Cory fights against his bonds, "Little piece," Judge begins to punch widly on Cory, "Of dog shit!"
Judge was in a fit of rage using Corys hair to slam his face multiple times into table, "Fuck me? Fuck me?! Fuck you!"
Judge pushes Corys chair over and pulls the Underground belt from his own waist squating over Cory, "You think you did this on your own? I know you do! I risked exposure to bring you up from your shitty life, pushed you until you broke, and with my power I willed you to beat Andy!"
He stands up laying the belt face down over Corys face and then steps on it mashing Corys face, "We invited you to this wonderful meal and not even a fucking thank you! I am done! I was going to use you as my vessel to destroy everyone! I was going to let you keep that belt forever as a testament to our might, but now," he stepped off Corys face breaking his nose with a sick crunch, "Now I have to come for you! You forced my hands and wouldn't accept my blessings so Cory I want you to remember that every night, or day light that I will be coming for you soon. And I will kill you!"
Judge went back to his seat snapping his fingers, "Eat and let him go home. I want him to stew alone about his likely painful destruction."
A MAN BROKEN
RISING SON
4 days later..,
The can slowed a little, he felt the handcuffs being removed, the door opening, and finally the small flight from the van to the gravel of the Compound parking lot. The Underground belt tore from his waist as he slide across the gravel and finally he stopped in a sitting position and remained. Darkness fell over him.
He was in serious pain when he came too, the first person to his side was Lorenzo. He looked bewildered, "Holy fuck Cory you're awake! How you feeling?
"Like shit," he tried sitting up but the flare of pain from his ribs stopped him, "Fuck! Where is Amanda? Tyler ok?"
Lorenzo pushed Cory back down and to keep him there, "Relax they are both fine, Tyler is working in the garage today and Amanda is at her mother's with the girls. She gave me this to read if you ever came back. We didn't think you were."
Cory takes the letter, struggling with shaky hands to open it until he grunts shoving it back to Lorenzo.
"Just read me the goddamn thing."
"Fuck dammit!" Cory barked sitting up holding his left side in severe pain, "Did you know about this? Judge going at Amanda?"
"First time reading the letter, so no. We didn't know why she left, well we figured because of Judge," Lorenzo pleaded, "When he came back and took off with you we just focused on finding you. We expected the worst until last Trauma, but we couldn't get in."
"Why?"
"Judge has a army brother! I'm talking presidential level personel," Lorenzo pulled a file from a filing cabinet, "Jesus man you don't know shit about him do you? You never got curious about his life when you two met?"
Cory took the files but sat them to the side, "Fuck him, I'll handle his ass."
"Maybe," Lorenzo chuckled, "Look at you! Blind in one eye, busted all to shit from head to toe, broken ribs, and I'm sure a infection from the pale tone of your skin and sweat! You look like shit and you know PCW gives zero shits because you got a FUCKING MATCH TOMORROW!"
Cory pushed himself off the table, "Against who?"
"High Tide and Crazy Boy," Lorenzo replied, "And they'll both be full health tomorrow, do you think you stand a chance?"
"One time I was obsessed over Grimm," Cory began as he limped to his desk pouring himself a glass of Jack, "I spent many of weeks in the woods surrounding Hangtown, I felt it would bring us closer, of course it didn't. But one day while in the woods I came across a massive bear," Cory downed his drink and showed Lorenzo a huge claw mark scar across his chest, "I killed that bear with a axe but he left me seriously wounded days before a show. I came out and fought anyways because I am that type of person. I'm better when I have odds stacked against me."
Cory turned away from a still concerned, "Judge wants me to be broken and beaten, that is his game. The saviour shepherd! Well Fuck him! I want everyone to think I'm weak, I bet Andy D thought he had a big ol'advantage against me at 202 but surprise the cornered bear is a dangerous fucking bear. I am at my best cornered, I want Crazy Boy and Tide to feel comfortable. I'll wear this damage proudly Lorenzo because that's who I am. I am a force of fucking damage to myself and to everyone around me! I am the Underground and with that belt around my waist all those who get in line will feel me man! I made the Underground and now that I have it back Lord help them all."
"And Judge?"
"Fuck him," he belted again slamming a fist into his desk, "Fuck him because he can get it too! I am PCWs rising son and Judge made me this way, I'm just going to return the favor by shoving it down his throat and ripping his beating fucking heart out!"
"God, look at this glorious meal."

Cory,
I don't know if you're just as shocked as I was about Jesse, I still can not process this! He isn't dead! When I seen him take you, I am just bracing myself for the worst, but when I seen him take you in my heart I feel I won't ever see you again! I know what he can do, espically if he knows about us. Which he does. He paid me and the girls a visit, I can't do this right now so I'm taking the girls and Riley to my mother's up north until I either hear from you or he's 100% gone.
I love you Cory, if you ever get this write me, I have to go off grid because of his connections, but please let me know you're safe asap! Finish this.
Love forever,
Amanda Steel.
