Femme Fetale

She couldn't stop smiling. Her debut had gone so well. Many people were curious how she received such great help from Rhyno. She used the power of persuasion. She talk to him literally, two seconds before she went out to the ring. All she needed was a little sweet talk and he agreed. She sat backstage with Rhyno and Brock and as they all celebrated. She felt strong and independent after standing up to Heyman. She was proving herself as a true business woman and not just some pretty face. She was so excited about her debut and shocked by how well it went. She already felt like she was making an impact. She happily hugged Rhyno in the post-match celebration, although technically there hadn't even been a match, and without thinking threw her arms around Brock. The hug was brief, as Stacy quickly withdrew her arms remembering the fact that Brock didn't seem to like it when people touched him. She was surprised that he didn't seem angered by the hug. His attitude was happier at the moment as he and Rhyno joked around. Rhyno patted his shoulder as he talked about the look on Paul Heyman's face. Maybe he was more of a pat on the shoulder kind of guy. Maybe that's what she would do every time her won a match, slap his shoulder. She patted his shoulder and he gave her an awkward look. Or, perhaps he wasn't the type of guy. Besides, she didn't feel that slapping him playfully in the shoulder each time he won a match was a good idea. The last thing she needed was for him to get annoyed and give her the F-5. She must have gotten lost in her own thoughts because somewhere in the last five minutes, Rhyno had been saying goodbye. She waved at him as he walked off. Now, she stood in front of her client alone.

"You did a really good job." Brock admitted with a smile as he shifted the World Title from his left, to his right shoulder. A smile played across Stacy's face, caution told her not to get used to this friendly side of Brock, but she had to admit, it felt much better when he was nice.

"Thanks. I think Paul Heyman was a bit surprised but that made it even better." Stacy smiled.

"Yeah, well I guess now he knows he's not the only one with a few tricks up his sleeves. You were really impressive. I have to admit, I was really sure about this." Brock grinned.

"Well, I guess we have a lot to learn about each other." Stacy nodded.

"I guess so." Brock agreed with a nod and a slight pat on her back as he walked off. She sighed happily.

Now, she had to focus on next week. Paul would be extremely pissed and was probably already in the midst of an evil revenge plot. Tonight just gave her more confidence. She exited the Smackdown arena collecting all of her thought s for next week.

"Stacy!" She heard a feminine voice call. She slowly turned around to see her boss motioning toward her. She wasn't sure if this would be a good or bad encounter, but she was quickly on guard.

"Hey Steph, can I help you?" Stacy asked skeptically.

"I wanted to congratulate you on your debut tonight. I haven't forgotten about your past, but your really did do an incredible job. I just wanted to let you know that." Stephanie admitted. Stacy wore a stunned smile.

"Thanks Steph, that really means a lot to me, but I'm just getting started." Stacy smiled.

"I guess maybe your proving yourself after all. I mean, not just anyone can outsmart Paul Heyman. I'll be looking forward to the coming weeks to see what you're made of. Have a nice night." Stephanie nodded.

"Thanks" Was all Stacy could seem to utter. She couldn't believe it. She actually felt like people were starting to respect her. Stephanie, and even Brock seemed to be. She looked on in wonder as Stephanie walked away.

Paul Heyman sat in shock as his clients looked at him for answers. Stacy Keibler had managed to make a fool of them her first night as Brock's agent, imagine what the following weeks would bring.

"Can you take her?" Shelton asked referring to Stacy.

"Can I take her!" Paul exclaimed as Shelton, Charlie, Big Show, and A-Train looked at him doubtfully.

"Brock was hard to neat before but now that he has Stacy in his corner, she's like a wildcard. Look what happened out there tonight!" Big Show explained.

"What happened out there tonight was a fluke. Beginners luck!" Paul insisted. "Do you doubt me?! Haven't I proven I'm the nest agent money can but?" He asked.

"We're just concerned." Charlie answered.

"Yeah, Stacy proved she's pretty good too." A-Train reminded.

"Pretty good? Pretty good! All Stacy Keibler is, is eye candy! Your gonna see that." Paul reassured.

"Well, she did a good job of making us look like asses tonight!" Big Show snapped.

"Look at me. I've been in this business a long time. There's only one reason Brock would hire Stacy. She must be sleeping with him." Paul insinuated. "You can't have a female agent because she's intelligent." He laughed. "She must be sleeping with him. Taker Test for example. Your gonna see the fact that she's a woman, is gonna be a huge down fall." He added.

"How do you figure?" Shelton questioned.

"Ever sine Brock has entered the WWE, his opponents have searched for a weakness or a flaw. The truth is, he doesn't have one. Until now!" Paul smiled. "Stacy is a liability, and she's gonna turn into his biggest weakness. He'll no longer be untouchable. You boys don't have that issue since I'm your manager. You don't have a beautiful woman that you have to think about, when you should be focused on the ring. The biggest mistake Brock could have made in his professional career was hiring Stacy." Paul reassured.

"Well, he didn't seem too regretful tonight!" Big Show growled as he stomped out of the room. The other guys followed him.

"You'll see!" Paul called. He groaned as the door slammed. What the hell was he gonna do? When he first found out about Stacy he took it as a joke. She had all the things it took to make up a good agent, ruthless aggression, the hunger to win, and an incredible client. He bit his nails nervously. He'd never admit it, but he was scared. She was a female! She was a Diva! There was no way she could be capable of the thing he had done.

The following weeks proved to be a success for Stacy. For Paul Heyman, it had been a nightmare. Kurt Angle had returned, but had a falling out with Team Angle. Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin were still tag-team partners, but they were no longer associated with Kurt. Upon his return, Kurt also made it clear, he would no longer be needing Heyman's services. Stacy entered Brock's locker room and was shocked by what she seen.

"Hi, Stacy." Kurt smiled. Brock and Kurt had become pretty good friends, and it was weird seeing such competitive opponents getting along.

"Um, hi Kurt. It's nice to see you back." Stacy smiled.

"Thanks, it's good to be back." Kurt grinned.

"Brock, I just wanted to let you know I have you scheduled for a photo shoot tomorrow, and you have a tag-team match against the Big Show and John Cena tonight. Stephanie said you can choose your own partner." Stacy informed him.

"Ok, thanks Stacy." Brock nodded as she left.

"Wow, you are one lucky man. Stacy Keibler as your manager! Did you see her pictorial in Stuff magazine? Amazing!" Kurt admitted.

"Yeah, she's hot." Brock agreed with a nod.

"So?" Kurt asked cocking an eyebrow.

"What do you mean so?" Brock questioned, also raising an eyebrow.

"Well, is there more going on than what meets the eye?" Kurt asked

"Kurt, I assure you our relationship is strictly professional. She's been a good agent, but that's as far as it goes." Brock insisted.

"If Stacy were my agent, I'd try to change that." Kurt grinned.

"I'm sure you would, you lady killer." Brock joked. "Just like the way you tried to change it with Steph?" He grinned referring to when Stephanie rejected Kurt.

"Ha, ha, very funny." Kurt laughed sarcastically.

Paul sat in the hall nervously. He was losing clients and rock was becoming more and more successful. Stacy was literally kicking his ass. He wouldn't let her best him. He had always been the best agent in the WWE! He was a genius! He stood up with determination. Stacy wasn't going to make a joke of him. He had let her have her "fun" long enough. Her days on top were about to come crumbling down, because Paul Heyman was determined to destroy her and her client, Brock Lesnar. The battle was far from over.
