Cowards! Cowards! Cowards!

[Jensen Banks]

Leeds, England

"You legit just superkicked him..."

The blonde haired young man shakes his head as he stares at Jensen, who hops in the passenger side seat of the car before slamming the car door shut. Jensen sighs, realizing what he did could very well have been a mistake.

"I know. If you had told me three years ago that I would end up in a situation like this, I would have scoffed and told you that you were batshit crazy, Patrick. But after everything that has happened, you can't say Rhys didn't deserve it. You and I both know what he was like before he disappeared because we worked for him. We were like brothers, not soldiers, to him. Does he look like the same man to you?"

Patrick shakes his head.

"No, he's different now. He's-"

"He's a fucking coward is what he is. Trying to blackmail into being his own goddamn bitch and doing all his dirty work for him. He didn't know that I still have people on my side trying to help him, while all his new friends seem to have abandoned him."

Banks sighs as he leans back in his seat.

"Can't believe I gotta deal with so many cowards in such a short span. Rhys over here constantly trying to threaten me with blackmail. Skylar Cloud over in LDFC trying to pretend like she isn't trying to build some protection, knowing her reign is coming to an end soon. Then LDFC decides to put me in a match with Terrence Tillman this Thursday, and let's just say that he's turned into a full out fuckboy nowadays. Feels like I'm going to actually get gray hair from these three alone."

Patrick chuckles.

"Need a nap there, cranky?"

Jensen rolls his eyes.

"Just take me to the hotel so I can start thinking about how to handle all this crap."

++++++++++ 

"Cowards." 

Jensen Banks is seen sitting in an airport waiting area, recording himself by what we can assume is his phone. 

"Lately, it seems like I have been butting heads with cowards. Rhys Baines in HKW being a big one. My future opponent at At All Costs, the current Old North champ, Skylar Cloud is another one. So of course, to continue the theme of Jensen Banks vs Cowards, LDFC brass has decided to put me up against Terrific Terrence Tillman." 

Jensen chuckles. 

"First things first, the only thing terrific about you is your acting skill. I mean, to keep this facade of being an actual decent human being going for as long as you kept it going is impressive, I gotta admit. At first, I thought you were a guy who really wanted to work hard and take his own path in the business instead of trying to take shortcuts or stabbing other people in the back. I thought you were one of those legit good guys, but boy, was I fooled. 

Instead, you turned out to be the type of person I have come across quite a few times, including lately, just with a slightly different personality than some of the others. You turned out to be nothing more than...well...an egotistical coward. 

Now, I know you're going to hear what I said eventually and immediately start to bark at the screen, saying that you're nothing like Skylar, MacRear, or The Crimson Baroness. But you see, you are actually worse than them, See, at least they don't pretend like they actually give a shit about others. At least they don't pretend like they're not in this for themselves. And they certainly don't try to get Nest to fight battles that Nest doesn't need to be involved in. 

Originally, I was just gonna call you a backstabbing piece of shit, but then I saw the tweets you sent to Nest, practically demanding that he go after Page for doing what he did, then pretending like you'd actually do shit against Page if you wanted to. Frankly, nobody bought it. Not even that human garbage that attacked my friend. 

So now, kicking your head off of your shoulders feels almost like an obligation to LDFC. Shutting you up, at least for a few minutes while you're knocked out and wondering where you are, would feel like I'm doing a favor to...well, everyone that has come across the new you. And that is exactly what I'm going to do. 

It won't be easy, but when the show goes off the air, I'm going to be standing tall while you're lying on the mat, out cold. And you can... 

BANK ON IT." 

The video then comes to an end, Jensen scowling as he says those last three words.
