We are days after Scion where Slim defeated Jackson Cole without much issue or resistance. He’s instead looking forward to his next challenge. The main event against one of the participants in the finals for the world title. Aurora Graves.p
Slim is sitting outside in the backyard of his Atlanta home at the patio under the umbrella as his daughter sits across from him. He looks over at her and has a slight smile on his face as she looks on with intrigue.
Karine:
So what has you in such a good mood. I mean yeah you won but… its just Jackson Cole.
Slim:
Oh I know. That match was just… a mismatch from the getgo. He didn’t stand a chance and I know the excuse would want to be he wasn’t healthy but the fact is that he just wasn’t up to the task. But this one… this one intrigues me. This one interests me. Nothing against the new kids but unless they get that real hard training like you did they aren’t going to know what to do when shit hit the fans you know. But this one is at least an actual vet. Someone that knows her way around the ring.
Karine:
Someone that also defeated Dead Eye.
Karine smirks a little as Slim sees it and nods.
Slim:
Yeah she did. She did something I didn’t do that first time and I’ll admit… I did get in my own head that match. I took my eye off the prize and it happens. That was my second match bak but still no excuse. I should have been on top of my game as much as I drill you about it.
Karine:
Yeah but you can’t beat yourself up over it too much. And I’m glad you didn’t but now you have a real chance at redemption.
Slim:
I do and its something I’ve not only been looking forward to but something I’ve desired. I just wanted that real match. That real challenge again. That one that will make me sweat a little. Make me challenge myself. Make me step up out of my comfort zone and bring out what I used to do back in the day but better.
Karine:
So you’re excited and pumped for this match?
Slim:
Hell yeah I am.
Slim hits his hand on the table as he gets up from the table and walks towards the edge of the pool.
Slim:
I’ve been walking in the shallow end ever since I came back and its time I finally go back to the deep end.
Slim looks at the other end of the pool as Karine gets up from the table and joins beside him.
Slim:
Its like I’ve always wanted and had that desire to challenge the best that any organization had to offer whenever I would arrive. I always wanted to put myself up there and se where I truly measure. If I really have it. If I could really deliver and beat the best. If I am really the best in that company. Its never enough to just say you are. Its never enough to live off your past successes and use that as your basis for why you’re the best. Its stepping up to the plate and showing yourself, that person, and everyone else in the company that you are who you say you are. That you are that damn good in that damn ring. Its making sure to leave no question when all is said and done.
Karine:
Well you do have an interesting way of looking at things and I do understand you there. I understand that. Its like we can practice and train and even take on certain levels but in the end it just shows… yeah we’re good at what we know and we know where we’re at. But until we get challenged beyond what we know, challenged against someone that knows just as much or even more than us then will we really know how far we’ve gotten?
Slim:
Exactly and you know… you know when that challenge is going to come and you know when that challenge is really not there. Although you still don’t underestimate that one in front of you… you just know. And this one… Aurora. I’m anticipating a real challenge and this is what the old me used to look forward to all the time. And here I am… years later and I’m still getting excited.
Karine:
I can tell and I’m liking it. Its really infectious and I feel it. I want to carry this feeling over. But what I want to do with you is after we eat… we’ll stretch and swim. I want your cardio at peak condition for this match.
Slim:
Will do. So let’s go. I’m starving.
Karine:
When aren’t you.
The two of them share a laugh as they head back inside as everything fades.
