Ruby Tyler’s cabin in the woods. When Kevin Hardaway went out here the first time, he honestly didn’t know what to expect. After all, he was able to ask the huntress one question about her life that she had to ask. Call it their first time they were able to fill their “quota” that they have about their personal lives. We all know Ruby and Kevin share a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy in their training. They don’t need personal feelings to get in the mix of trying to hunt for demons and god knows what else ails them. But even with that not in the mix, some of it comes out. In the ways of things like the way their voices raise when talking to each other, or about how they bicker towards one another, and most definitely, the night where Ruby visited Kevin’s home and met his daughter for the first time.
That was the closest that they shared “personal feelings” with one another, but even after that, it was back to business.
But one thing ails Kevin, still to this day...and even more so now given that during his lone visit to England, he was greeted by what appeared to be the ghost of his former wife, Angie. He didn’t believe it so it didn’t happen. But to this day, Ruby has no idea what Kevin saw that day, and he won’t open his mouth about it. Sure, tell the person who has been training you to stop this evil that you saw your dead wife sitting next to you on the bed. Yeah, that will definitely help.
But back to the cabin in the woods, Kevin was asked by Ruby to make sure it’s still in one piece and to his word, he might as well go there to see if it’s still like that. Of course, the last time Kevin held down the fort, he trashed the place to an unrecognizable state due to an intruder wanting that fucking book. All we know now is that Kevin made a playlist for situations like that and Paul Simon is nowhere to be found on it.
He opens the door and enters the place, throwing the keys on the counter and decides to scope out the place, his trusting Bowie knife by his side...the one that Ruby gave to him on his birthday back in January. The only place he won’t check is Ruby’s own bedroom. He knows that’s safe thanks to all of the markings on her ceiling and hidden behind posters on the wall. Plus...he would get a stick to the temple if he decided to check on it.
All’s good that is good on the upstairs as he walks back down, looking at the drywall that replaced the markings that Kevin and the demon intruder left a few weeks back. A cramp hits his neck. Like a memory bank being restored or something.
-He checks the basement and training room. All good.
-He checks the library. All good. And decides to give the Infinity Gauntlet that’s sitting on the wall the devil horns.
Kevin Hardaway: “Rock and roll.”
He even checks the refrigerator. Hey...Zuul might be in there, it doesn’t hurt to check. But that’s good and he knows it, so he takes a beer and sits on the couch and fires on the TV. Kim is out with friends at a sleepover so he might as well just crash here for a little bit and watch some television. It won’t hurt.
A couple hours pass though and he’s out on the couch. The drunken beer bottle empty on the table. The dronings of the game playing out. Kevin’s breath turns cold though and even he knows it as he wakes up and sits up, looking around the room. Was the AC even on when I got here, he thinks to himself as he goes to check on it. Nope...not even close. I mean, it wasn’t stinking hot when he got there, but he just felt something off as he went back to sit on the couch, next to Angie, who was sitting there watching the TV.
No jump scare. No freak out. Just...like she was there the entire time.
Angie: “Why haven’t you told her anything?”
K: “Because there’s nothing to be told. I had an hallucinatory experience in the hotel room. I was dehydrated and for some reason, you showed up.”
A: “Which explains you talking to yourself like you’re talking to me now?”
K: “I talk to myself all the time. I’ve always talked to myself. I had an imaginary friend up until I was 16 and started to wrestle because I never had too many friends. This is nothing. Besides, I’m just going to wake up on Ruby’s couch like nothing ever happened. It’s common nature, Kevin. It really is."
A: “Kevy. It’s going to take a lot more than a simple talking to, to get me away from you. You’ve been dealing with this for how long now? 6 years? Now the game has changed for you. Somebody with a death wish for you brought you that damn book and it opened your eyes in ways you couldn’t imagine. Ways that you shut off from your head the second that I crossed into the other world. No wonder you shut yourself off from the world around you, no wonder you try to hide everything by spouting off pop-culture references and Simpsons lines. Granted, that used to be you before everything happened but now it’s just...I can sense your fear from up there.”
K: “Because what did you want me to do? Just keep on going? I couldn’t fucking do that. Not by myself, and I sure as shit was not going to drag my daughter into this.”
That didn’t help matters whatsoever between the two...
A: “Our.”
K: “Excuse me?”
A: “OUR daughter, Kevin.”
K: “Umm...I’m speaking to a ghost right now. Or I’m not and either I’m sleeping or I’m sitting in a straitjacket inside of a white room right now, I have no idea. But I’m not going to say it’s OUR daughter when you’re gone from this world and I’m the only one having to take care of her.”
A: “What is wrong with you, kiddo? Just...why on Earth are you doing this to yourself?”
K: “I just want this damn thing over with. So I can go back to normal. Kim can actually have a normal life, go to high school, fall in love with some asshat jock that I disagree with. And then there’s also the fact that Ruby can go back to her wandering ways and not have to babysit me anymore. Everybody wins, you know.”
A: “Is that your idea of normal?”
K: “Now...yeah, it is. It has been for a long time. Just...I’m tired of you always finding your way into my life, even after death. And...I don’t mean that as a knock towards you in any way, shape, or form obviously. You know how much I love you. It’s just...I need to finally move on. I need to do what’s best for not just me, but my family, my friends...Kim…”
A: “...and Ruby?”
K: “Yeah...even her.”
A: “Do...do you care for her?”
K: “I can’t believe it...a fucking ghost is putting me on the spot here.”
A: “Answer the question, Kevin.”
K: “Well...obviously. But...yeah. I do...in some sort of fucked-up way a hunter cares about another hunter.”
A: “That’s a load of crap, and you know it. But I’ll believe you on that front. Because you do deserve to have somebody take care of you the way you care for them. God knows I found a way through you.”
K: “But it’s not like that.”
A: “Then explain your actions with her last year.”
By last year, she somehow means about the incident between the two that kind of kickstarted this whole #RubyWay dynamic. A hotel room in Las Vegas last year that they shared for an afternoon getting whatever tension it was out of their systems. It’s a long story, and in the craziest form of irony, they have to go back to that same city near the anniversary date of said incident in a few weeks.
They do not share the fact whatsoever.
K: “I...I was possessed?”
A: “Not from up there it seemed like. I could tell that was the real you down there.”
The fact that she knew that kind of stuff, just...ew. That she could have been watching them all this time is just...is just messed up in all ways.
K: “You kind are pretty perverted it seems.”
A: “Does she know?”
K: “Not to my knowledge. Which reminds me that there’s an elephant in the room that we’ll need to discuss in a couple weeks.”
A: “I feel like she should know the truth.”
K: “What, about the night in Vegas last year?”
A: “About everything…”
K: “It’s...it’s complicated. And I don’t even mean the story about what happened with you, that much is easy to tell. It’s just...you don’t know how our relationship is concerned. We have a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. We do our own thing and that’s just the way it stays. We let nothing get in the way of any emotions or feelings or god knows what else. It’s purely for work and nothing else. Lord knows it was enough when Kim wanted her over for dinner a month ago. And now it’s just gotten a bit off-kilter.”
A: “What have you told her?”
K: “Nothing.”
Even as an entity, she knew when he lied to her face. He always pulled on his lower lip when he got nervous and tried weaseling out of a situation. But low and behold, she got him to spill the beans out on a few situations before in her past life. Situations that won’t be told today, that’s for certain.
A: “Hey...I know when you’re lying, kiddo.”
K: “Seriously...the only thing that was close to actual feelings was the time where I told her that I was actually afraid and apologized to her for almost crushing her neck in. The only time where actual feelings were brought out was when we got to ask each other one question. I asked her what she did before we crossed paths.”
A: “And what did she ask you?”
K: “What led me to that book in the first place.”
A: “And what did you say?”
He pauses for a few seconds to try and get everything out. He’s talked to Ruby once about what had happened between the former couple as her “one question” but Kevin worked his way around it. She knew some details, and she knew some things when randomly Googling Angie’s namesake, but that was about it. The rest she had to try and fill in from her own knowledge and even then, it was difficult. The wrong word to him and she could honestly set him off in ways she was afraid to see out of him.
K: “I...I told her some things. About how we found it during a random walk in the park, and how you thought it looked cool but I thought it looked creepy as hell. And…”
A: “...and?”
He struggles to even get the words out of his body, the story about how the two ended up separating is a hard sell for him, even to this day.
K: “I...I couldn’t even finish.”
A: “Obviously. She knows what it feels like, and I didn’t need for her to have her go through with it again with somebody who she’s been helping out for god knows how long.”
K: “Exactly.”
A: “You need to tell her. For our sake.”
K: “Why? She’s no good with this whole “emoting” thing and any time I do try to have her “emote”, I get kicked in the teeth or whacked with a stick.”
A: “You can reach her. I know you can. I see it in her eyes half the time too. And especially when she was with dinner with you and Kim. She seemed a bit eased at you for a change.”
K: “It’s trickier than that.”
A: “That’s what you always say.”
K: “I...I do.”
A: “You’ll be okay. I promise.”
K: “I hope so.”
Usually, an “I hope so.” is followed with her saying...
A: “I know so.”
She gets up and heads for the door, opening it up but not before letting him aware about one more major detail...
A: “Also...yeah, you actually are dreaming this time, so let me wake you up. And hey…?”
She ends up smiling and looking at him.
A: “I love you...and she loves you too.”
Suddenly, he awakes from his supposed slumber, covered in nothing but a cold sweat as he looks up and looks around the cabin to see...well, nothing. The TV is blaring at a surprisingly low volume and the sun is shining through the windows as it gets ready to set for the night...but as Kevin starts to get his bearings across, the doorknob to the cabin starts to jiggle. Kevin reaches to the table to grab his knife and gets ready to pull it up to THREAT LEVEL: Orange when the door opens and in walks Ruby, holding two bags at her sides.
Kevin sees this and sighs in relief putting the knife back down, but Ruby looks around the house. Sure, everything looks clean and where it’s supposed to be at, but it still begs the question as to why he’s on her couch watching TV and branding a knife out on her.
Ruby Tyler: “Whoa...what the hell is this?”
K: “Me falling asleep on your couch.”
R: “...why?”
K: “...why not?”
R: “How long have you been here? And please don’t tell me that it’s been my entire trip to England?”
K: “No, it hasn’t. I just came by to check up, to see if no crazy people are trying to invade your household this time and as you can see...NO signs of break-in. Because I’m awesome.”
R: “That’s a fucking stretch, but...okay, thank you, I guess?”
K: “No problemo...although I will go to the store and buy you some necessities because yeah...I drank the rest of your beer.”
R: “Okay, that’s the Kevin I know. You...GO! And get me the good shit too. Granted I don’t even want to touch alcohol right now but it never hurts to be prepared.”
K: “Yes ma’am.”
As he goes to grab his car keys from the kitchen table, she notices a dazed and weird look in his eyes, something that is clear to Ruby that something is indeed wrong. But Kevin just looks at her like she’s staring to get information out of his head. Why? How the hell should I know?
K: “What?”
R: “Nothing...it just looks like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Kevin chuckles sarcastically, as the last time he was left alone in the household, well...you already know that story and we’ve called back to it a million times already.
K: “No...I’m fine. Fine as I can be.”
R: “Okay...well, get going.”
As he exits the house to get the supplies needed, Ruby feels a chill in the air. Which is weird, because the AC is barely even on and it’s honestly not really that hot outside at the moment, which is bizarre enough, but still. She even smells something off. She goes to her one of her bags and pulls out her EKG meter and pulls the antenna up and switches it on. To the point of her smacking the thing to see if it’s working correctly, she notices something is definitely off. All of the lights are buzzing on her machine. She looks at the door and closes the antenna immediately.
Something is indeed off.

I don’t really have a lot to say this week. There isn’t really a lot to say, as everybody knows of the situation. At Above and Beyond V, #RubyWay is going to put the WLW Tag Team Championships in the lineage of the FGA Tag Team Championships and an undisputed tag team will be crowned as the champions. Three teams, all with something to prove. We got the former champs in Next Level, who are looking to become only the second team in FGA history to hold the titles twice...which is saying a lot because they should have held the titles longer against a field quite like FGA’s Tag Team division. We got the current champs in Status Quo who are looking to not become a flash in the pan by not losing the Tag titles in their first defense and go back to their singles ways or god knows what else.
And then there’s Ruby Tyler and yours truly, Kevin Hardaway. Who are looking to finally shut up all of our doubters who think that we’re just a 50 Shades of Grey ripoff. First off...ewww, what the fuck is wrong with you people? And second...yeah, we are looking to prove everybody wrong. Because I’m sick and tired of hearing Ruby drone on and on like she does every week. Yeah, I’m pissed off too...but I’m also pissed off of seeing her pissed off. So it goes around full circle. Which is weird to say, but I digress.
But I don’t need to go on and on about what we’ve been saying for the past few weeks. Everybody’s tired of hearing about us bitch and whine and moan. So I’ll just leave it at that and wish everybody good luck at the show. It’s just too bad that we’ll be the ones holding gold high and finally we can stop going on and on about how we defeated 15 teams and yadda yadda yadda.
Hey...this wouldn’t have happened if we had gotten our promised Tag Title shot before Dynamic Duos...because then WE’D be the ones holding the titles and you wouldn’t have to hear us nagging.
See what you did, guys? You fucked with the space-time continuum.
Regardless of that, we got Nox Sports this week and well...this week is a preview of what will happen come Above and Beyond V.
UTTER. FUCKING. DOMINANCE.
That was terrible. We’re going to kick the shit out of everybody, how about that?
That’s still terrible.
Eh, cut and print that. We’re good here.
Deuces, bitches.

Plus...he would get a stick to the temple if he decided to check on it.
All’s good that is good on the upstairs as he walks back down, looking at the drywall that replaced the markings that Kevin and the demon intruder left a few weeks back. A cramp hits his neck. Like a memory bank being restored or something.
-He checks the basement and training room. All good.

Three teams, all with something to prove. We got the former champs in Next Level, who are looking to become only the second team in FGA history to hold the titles twice...which is saying a lot because they should have held the titles longer against a field quite like FGA’s Tag Team division. We got the current champs in Status Quo who are looking to not become a flash in the pan by not losing the Tag titles in their first defense and go back to their singles ways or god knows what else.
And then there’s Ruby Tyler and yours truly, Kevin Hardaway. Who are looking to finally shut up all of our doubters who think that we’re just a 50 Shades of Grey ripoff. First off...ewww, what the fuck is wrong with you people? And second...yeah, we are looking to prove everybody wrong. Because I’m sick and tired of hearing Ruby drone on and on like she does every week. Yeah, I’m pissed off too...but I’m also pissed off of seeing her pissed off. So it goes around full circle. Which is weird to say, but I digress.
But I don’t need to go on and on about what we’ve been saying for the past few weeks. Everybody’s tired of hearing about us bitch and whine and moan. So I’ll just leave it at that and wish everybody good luck at the show. It’s just too bad that we’ll be the ones holding gold high and finally we can stop going on and on about how we defeated 15 teams and yadda yadda yadda.
Hey...this wouldn’t have happened if we had gotten our promised Tag Title shot before Dynamic Duos...because then WE’D be the ones holding the titles and you wouldn’t have to hear us nagging.
See what you did, guys? You fucked with the space-time continuum.
Regardless of that, we got Nox Sports this week and well...this week is a preview of what will happen come Above and Beyond V.
UTTER. FUCKING. DOMINANCE.
That was terrible. We’re going to kick the shit out of everybody, how about that?
That’s still terrible.
Eh, cut and print that. We’re good here.
Deuces, bitches.
