*Terra grasps at her cheek as she slowly looks up at Marie with a death glare. Seconds later, Terra throws her championship on the ground before going to attack Marie. Before Terra can get her hands on the Assistant General Manager though, she is stopped by Co-GM, Alex, whom blocks her path and forces her back away from Marie*
Terra: I'm going to kill that b-
Alex Pierse: Such passion in you tonight! You know where that passion could do good? On the commentary table tonight!
Terra: N-
*Alex picks up the SPARK World Championship, shoving it into Terra's hands before turning her to face the other way and giving her a slight push in that direction*
Alex Pierse: Show's starting in less than five, so get on out there!
*Reluctantly, Terra does as she as told. Then, with a sigh of relief, Alex turns to Marie with a smile*
Alex Pierse: Well, that was a close one, huh?
*Before Marie can speak though, Alex cuts her off*
Alex Pierse: Now first I'd just like to lay this out here. You've been a joy to work with, even if you don't seem to have a very high opinion of me.
*It is at this point that Alex's smile fades to that of reluctance*
Alex Pierse: Sadly though, you've forced me to take a position that I don't want to take. I prefer not to be the uptight General Manager, as that is your brother in laws position, but you've left me with no choice.
*Alex steps forward to Marie, who remains confused as to what is going on*
Alex Pierse: Marie, I heard you threaten a lawsuit if Terra put her hands on you again. Though that was an appropriate way to deal with the matter, the fact that you put your hands on her not long afterwards was not. To make a threat like that and then do something that you know would lead to the exact response you just told her not to have.. it was not befitting of an Assistant General Manager.
*Alex rubs his forehead to attempt to calm his newly acquired headache*
Alex Pierse: I mentioned before that just like you work for Jet...you also work for me. So as your boss, and in order to keep things here in Ignition fair...Marie, if you put your hands on any superstar again, whether they be male or female, then you will be indefinitely suspended as the Assistant General Manager until I say otherwise. Is that understood?
