US Championship Chamber Match

[Team Desire]

Katie Steward | "For Lady Glory/Pink, White and Purple"

At Steward's Place restaurant and bar in West Hollywood, California. Katie Steward sits in her booth working on a laptop. She busied herself in another proposal for SCW to hear her ideas. With every note she adds to it her smile grows. SCW can't possibly turn down her creative ideas. I mean, if Katie thinks they're amazing, then they are definitely what's best for business.

Sitting with Katie in the booth is Weasel's sister, Brooke. She is also on her own laptop working on whatever activism thing she's moved on to now.

"This is nice." Katie says to Brooke. She smiles at her showing how happy she is. It's been a few months since Katie and her Brats agreed to go their separate ways. Katie hanging out with Brooke felt good again. Like this is what having a friend around was.

"I gotta go." Brooke replies. Katie's smile changes and she looks terrified.

"What? Why are you leaving so soon? We haven't even ordered any food yet." Katie looks over her shoulder for TJ so maybe she can order something and get Brooke to stay longer. "Sorry Katie. A Palestine protest just opened up somewhere downtown and I have to get there." Brooke explains grabbing her laptop and bag.

"Oh ok, I understand. It's important. I'll catch up with you later." Katie nods her head understanding the importance of Brooke needing to leave.

Katie sits in her booth by herself. She tries to go back to work on the proposal to SCW, but she can't. She is curious about this protest that Brooke ran off too. Katie clicks on her web browser and goes to social media to learn.
Seeing the Israel, Hamas and Palestine stuff people are saying. It's a lot to take in of her and she clicks away to another story.

This story she knew somewhat more about. Russia-Ukraine conflict. Only because it’s been over a year and she had heard about it. No idea it was still going. Katie shakes her head in disbelief and gets on another story. There had to be some kind of good news happening. She scrolls through trending feeds on American politics and the far right. She didn’t get too far into that. Even the LGBTQ+ has hate threads of people attacking Transpeople. Katie just feels sick and she closes her laptop.

Katie exits her booth and walks over to the bar where she sits TJ working. “TJ. I’m heading home. I’m not feeling too well. Just need some mental rest, ok?”

“Yeah sure. I’ll be around later to check on you if you need me.” TJ nods in Katie’s direction as she turns and walks out of the bar. Hoping for some fresh air to clear her head and maybe a new world to live in.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

At Katie’s home in Los Angeles later that night. TJ Johnson shows up to check in on Katie like he told her he would do. He knows Katie is tough and it’ll take a lot to affect her enough to need some time for a mental health break. Then again, a “Mental Health” break would be something she’ll make up to get herself out of doing something. Well whatever the case, he was just here to see if she was doing any better.

TJ walks up to the front door and gives it a knock. After a few seconds of no answer he taps on the door again a little harder and the door pushes open. TJ walks inside and looks for Katie. He calls her name trying to get her
attention.

“TJ!” He hears calls out to him. “Over here. I’m in the office.”

TJ hurries through the house to Katie’s office. TJ steps inside and into a crazed world of a conspiracy theorist as Katie has been busy looking through current events.

“Ugh, Katie, how are you feeling? Any better?” TJ asks her, but feels like he already knows the answer to it.

“TJ! Oh my Goddess, you’re never going to believe what I’ve learned.” Katie speaks with excitement in her voice. “Brooke said she was going to protest this Palestine thing. So I was curious because I didn’t know what it was. Did you know there was another war going on?”

“Uh yeah, I might’ve heard something about that.” TJ answers her.

“Well anyways, I was looking through the social media stuff and…”

“Woah, No! Katie, I warned you about that.” TJ interrupted her. “Nothing good is ever found on social media.”

“Oh I know, but I started to trace it back. Because it couldn’t have always been like this, right?” Katie walks over to a whiteboard where she scribbles a lot of lines on it. “Over the last ten years things have gotten scary. Wars, Radicals, Trolls, and so much more.”

“Ok, so what did you learn?” TJ asks watching Katie learn how terrible people are on the internet.

“I just went back to try and find a better time. When it wasn't such a terrifying place. Well TJ, it's always been bad. I just want it to stay in the dark corners where no one can see it." Katie rubs the side of her head with her fingertips. Trying to scrub away the images she's seen today.

"Yeah, I'm sorry you had to see that. Thanks to the new direction of 'X' it's not going to get better." TJ shakes his head. He wishes he could just lie to her. That it was possible to make it all go away, but it wasn't.

Katie smiles.

"But TJ, I can. I am a Goddess. I have power and influence. I can and will make everything beautiful again." Katie slaps her hands together and holds them there. Like a prayer. "That's why I'.m going to make my announcement. For my running…"

"Oh Katie… no…" TJ mutters.

"for United States Champion." Katie beams with a bright light, feeling a sense of purpose.

"Oh. US Champion. Alright, you had me a little worried there. I thought you were going to get into politics." TJ laughs. He looks at Katie who wears a serious look.

"TJ, this is very important. I’m going to make everything beautiful again. You don’t remember it being this bad when I was United States Champion the last time. Do you?” Katie says looking at him knowing she has a point.

“Yeah, but when you were the US Champ we had Obama. A lot of people wish we could go back to that point in time.” TJ nods.

“See!” Katie smiles. “I knew that you’ll see it my way.”

Katie spins and goes back to her work. She has a lot to prepare for in the next few days.

Giovanna Steward steps out of her bedroom at her apartment that she shares with her sisters. She walks into the living room and joins Maddy and Ash sitting around. Waiting on her to get ready for them to do something.

“Hey Gigi, are you ready now or what?” Maddy asks, watching Gigi sit down in the chair across from them.

“Sure, I’m ready. What do you guys wanna do?” Gigi replies, throwing up her hands. Not really sure what they want.

“So what were you doing when I was gone? I know you and Katie were trying to win the tag team titles." Maddy asks.

"While you were away it has been an exhausting experience dealing with her." Gigi shakes her head with all the feelings for Katie she has right now.

A loud bang hits the apartment door. Ash gets up and walks over to see what it was. She opens the door and all she finds is a newspaper on the ground. She picks it up and brings it inside.

“Who was at the door?” Gigi asks, looking at Ash unrolling the newspaper.

“Nobody. Just someone delivering a newspaper.” Ash replies.

“We get the newspaper? That’s weird.” Maddy responds. Didn’t even know they subscribed to it.

“Yeah, Maddy. It’s very weird. We don’t get the newspaper.” Ash opens the paper up and skims through the paper. She finds an ad for SCW's next show being featured in the paper. “Oh, looks like an advertisement  for SCW’s Under Attack show.”

“Really? Let me see.” Gigi jumps to her feet. She holds out her hand wanting the paper. Ash doesn’t hand it over.

“No. I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Ash tells her. She steps away from Gigi making sure she’s out of reach.

“Ash! I want to see. Why would you bring it up if you didn’t want to see him?” Gigi questions her. Double downing her hand to want the paper to be handed over.

“I was just keeping you up to date. Now that you know you don’t have to see it.” Ash smiles as she puts the paper behind her back and turns away leaving the room.

Gigi can tell something was up. She makes a b line for the paper to see what Ash isn’t telling her. Unfortunately for Gigi, Ash knew she wasn’t going to give up and anticipated the strike. Easily pulling the paper away from Gigi and Gigi diving to the floor.

What Ash didn’t expect was Maddy who came in for the rebound and snatched the paper away.

“Let’s see what we got.” Maddy says out loud checking on the ad.”It’s a very patriotic ad featuring… Oh… yeah you don’t want to see this.”

Gigi stand s up and turns to Maddy. She grabs the paper away from Maddy’s hands. Ash and Maddy step away together waiting for Gigi to erupt as she looks at the ad.

“Katie Steward for United States Champion. Join her in ordering SCW’s Under Attack on the network or pay per view and together we can make America and the World beautiful again.” Gigi is puzzled by what she read. It doesn’t make sense to her. “What the hell?”

“Sorry, G.” Maddy says hoping that maybe with her there Gigi can remain calm and understanding.

“No. Katie wanted to win the tag team titles. She wants to do it with me. As soon as we do that then I get to go solo. I get to go for the United States title.” Gigi tries to explain why it doesn’t make any sense.

“I’m sure it’s just a consequence, G. Like they needed former champions to fill it out.” Ash answers, trying to help.

“But she is actively campaigning for it.” Gigi shakes the paper in frustration.

“Yeah. That part is a little confusing.” Ash quiets down and puts her head down.

Gigi crumbles up the paper and tosses it away. She lets out a scream of frustration leaving the room.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Back to Katie’s home in Los Angeles. Gigi, Maddy and Ash show up and walk inside the house. Gigi doesn’t look too happy. She wants to talk to Katie to figure out what is going on. They follow the noise they hear all the way to Katie’s office. That is where they find Katie’s campaign headquarters. TJ sits at a desk making phone calls while Katie is seen making plans on her cell phone. They watch Katie pace around dressed in a pink suit and a purple and white striped tie.

“Looks like Katie made a mess of her laundry. Her red suit came out pink.” Maddy shakes her head.

“I don’t think it ruined Maddy. Those are the colors of the flag.” Ash points up at the American flag hanging on the wall. The colors were altered to Pink, White and Purple.

“Oh. You know what, I like it. I think Katie’s campaign can work.” Maddy nods in approval.

“That’s great, Maddy, but I’m here for answers.” Gigi steps out from the outside of the office and walks in to confront Katie. “Katie, what in the world are you doing? I know about your United States Title shot.”

“Gigi!” Katie ends her call on her phone and runs over to hug her. “Thank the Goddess that you’re safe. It’s very dangerous out there in the world.”

“What?” Gigi stands still as Katie wraps her arms around her tight making her feel safe.

“She’s been on social media and sees the low point of humanity.” TJ spins around in his chair to answer her question.

“You let her on social media?” Gigi questions TJ.

“Hey, I didn't do anything. There isn’t a lot I can do, not since she’s been hanging around this Brooke girl and being all activism now.” TJ gets defensive.

“Brooke’s here? Where is she?” Gigi looks up and around.

“No. She had to leave and go to some protest somewhere. It’s ok though. I’m ok. My eyes are wide open now to the bigger picture. I can make a difference. I will make a difference.” Katie turns away from Gigi and paces around her office in his pink suit. “At Under Attack I will carry Lady Glory with me and waving the sparkle and stripes proudly. Because making this world Beautiful again. Back when I was the United States Champion the first. It’s the most important thing to me.”

“G, I think we should let them go.” Maddy whispers. “Seeing Katie this passionate about something important. It’s pretty cool.”

“Ok.” Gigi nods. “Good luck, Katie.”

Katie smiles.

“TJ, I got the youth vote on my side. That’ll help with the polls.

The following is a paid advertisement for the “Make America Beautiful Again” campaign.

My fellow Americans. This might just be the most important match of your lives. Katie Steward, is asking for you to lend you her support and when you watch Under Attack think about just what that means. We are indeed under attack. With Katie’s influence and power. She will help get our message across and do what is important for us all. By just looking at her opponents there is no question who the right person is for this championship.

Lucas Knight doesn't stand on the important issues. While being a fine competitor and high level wrestler in this chamber match. He lacks any real goals on if he were champion.

Gavin Taylor, another who doesn’t stand on any issues. Another migrant in his chamber who looks to rob this chamber and steal it away from Katie who unlike her opponents looks to make real progress for the future.

Deanna Frost, a climate change denier. Who would stop at nothing for everyone to live in their Winter Wonderland.

Polly, who doesn’t have any issues or hold any power and influence. Truly the most uneventful term as champion there could be.

It doesn’t matter whoever else is there in the chamber. It’s clear who the best person is for this championship. So please, support Katie Steward and let Make America Beautiful Again.

The following is a paid advertisement from Katie Steward and only Katie Steward and her opponent have been allowed to respond to the questionnaire that was sent out about these topics. For that, their response is silence.

The commercial ends and Katie claps her hands in excitement.

“Oh my Goddess, I’m really getting good at this film making.” A pleased Katie smiles.

“We stay and watch that. Why?” Gigi turns and leaves.

“”That was so funny, Katie. We support you.” Maddy says following Gigi and Ash out of the room.
