“Psycho” Saoirse Maguire finishes wrapping her fists in tape as she readies herself for a training session. She glances into the mirror and nods quickly, barely looking at it.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: I’m nay lookin’...
Squeezing her eyes shut, she turns and only opens them when she can’t see into the mirror anymore. Checking her hands over, she nods her satisfaction. She walks through the door from the locker room and heads over into the atrium and then through the door into the main area of the gym.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Alright, Lass, ywe bae ready fer this…
Just as she says this, arm swings around her shoulders, the smiling face of her usual EWC tag team partner, Jackie “Bandit” Layton, beaming into view.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Ready to do this, Sorsh?
Psycho nods quickly.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, as ready as I ever bae tae haer Shonn tell me I naed tae avoid fallin’ in love wit me kicks…
Bandit sncikers as she pats her partner on the abck.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Well, it did kind of happen against Sam last night, but after what you did to gabriel Ohio…
She pauses and then nods pointedly.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Repeatedly…
Psycho finally grins.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, now if only tha had baen Blackthorne, it would have baen perfect!
Bandit snickers even more.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: How are you doing after all that?
Psycho inhales and nods firmly.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: I bae ready fer this, Jackie. I’ll nay bae lettin’ ye down aginst th’ Carters an’ th’ Conjurin’.
Bandit nods slowly, understandingly.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: That’s not really what I meant, Sorsh…
Psycho stares at her for a second, wondering where this is going.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Bex tell ye about the mirror then?
Bandit shakes her head.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: All I know is that I paid for a broken mirror…
Psycho nods.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: I… was havin’ one o’ me episodes, i tink… when she walked in I was holdin’ a piece o’ glass tha had broken off…
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: And you don’t remember that, do you?
Psycho shakes her head.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: I dinna know whot I was doin’... at all…
Bandit nods and then hugs her partner.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: You’re not alone, Sorsh. I’ve been to a place like that before too.
As Bandit releases her grip, psycho frowns in confusion.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Ye… have?
Bandit nods slowly. She glances around and then takes a deep breath.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Yeah...Year and a half ago actually.
Psycho’s eyes go wide in shock.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Begorra...
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Look, the night of May 1, 2018, Ale and I were in Vegas and Eav started to have one of her episodes. I don’t know if she was on anything yet, or just spiraling over other things. She’d been having a major meltdown on some level at that point for the better part of nine, ten months, ever since father has passed. That triggered the hell out of her bipolar disorder and made her start looking for things to self-medicate, which she did copiously to the point that the night Ale first tried contacting her, Eav was supposedly about to take herself out.
Psycho’s eyes go wide in shock.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Begorra!
Bandit raises her hands to try and calm the suddenly shocked into agitation Psycho.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Don’t worry, I’m not speaking out of turn here, this is all been put out publicly by Eav. It was about, I don’t know four or five in the afternoon when she wandered out but it wasn’t until the next day when Ale said “she’s really not coming back, that I just…
Her hands lower and Bandit shakes her head in shame.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: I couldn’t deal, so I did the single worst thing I could have done in that situation, I ran to the Luxor and started drinking. Got hit on by three guys in the first fifteen minutes, none of whom you’d ever wanna see again. This wasn’t like getting on by guys who’d be fun or hot like Scorpio or Kyle Gautier, you know what I’m saying?
Psycho nods slowly.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: So after the third one got dragged off by security because the bartender caught him trying to roofie me and they promised to liven his night up, I called a dealer, got a gram and some pills and went back to private high roller type room.
Psycho just stares at Bandit, a million thoughts swirling in her head.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: A gram?
Bandit nods, the shame seeming to wash over her completely.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Cocaine…
Psycho’s mouth falls open.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Fuckin’ hell!
Bandit takes another deep breath, swallowing hard.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Made that disappear really fast, too fast actually. Downed the pills without even really looking to see what they were. Kept drinking until I got a couple of notifications on my phone. The next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital, Eav and Ale both looking like they’d been up all night and crying. I’d overdosed and the only reason I didn’t die was because Eav came back…
Psycho shakes her head in stunned disbelief and Bandit nods sadly right back to her.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: She left again for good not long after and Ale had to call RJ and confess. I’d almost gotten myself killed and also almost gotten myself thrown out of the Maidens before I was even patched in. I was only a prospect and I’d violated the no hard drugs rule. Ale and I both got suspended for it...
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Jackie...
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: That’s not really the end of it…
Psycho’s eyes search the blonde woman’s eyes her and Bandit steels herself.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: I’ve never admitted this out loud before, but I didn’t care if I woke up once I started the pills. I kind of wanted not to…
Psycho’s eyes nearly jump out of her head.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Mother o’ God, Jackie!
Bandit nods, looking away in shame.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: I was made at the world. My donor had basically blown me off again. My mom was off somewhere wasted in some other casino. Corrie was God knows where doing God knows what. Declan Black had sort of accepted me into his life and then made it very clear I was fourth on his depth chart and made me feel like I was just a notch on his bedpost whether he meant to or not and then Eav had suggested we try out the whole… dating her and Ale thing and just as I finally worked up the…
Trailing off, Bandit bites her bottom lip, tears welling up in her eyes.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: I finally told them I loved them… she was gone… and I just….
Bandit licks her lips, trying to hold back the torrent of emotions being dredged up.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: I cracked… right down the middle…
This time it’s Psycho’s turn to embrace Bandit.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: But… ye’ve gotten better, yeah?
Bandit nods as she hugs her partner.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: I have… the Maidens stood by me. Ale held me together and then Angel happened and…
Psycho nods, smiling broadly.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, tae bae held an’ loved, tis a grand ting…
Bandit nods and steps back, looking down to check herself for the coming session.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: You should remember that too…
Psycho frowns in confusion.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Remember whot, Lass?
Bandit flashes a warm smile.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: That we get better, especially when surrounded by love and support like this…
She waves her hands around to encompass the whole of the complex. Psycho nods, smiling genuinely.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, if tha nay bae th’ truth!

The camera opens on “Psycho” Saoirse Maguire and Jackie “Bandit” Layton standing together under the familiar black banner with the white Shieldmaidens lettering on it. The pair are dressed in almost matching ensembles of blue jeans, black Suicidal Tendencies t-shirts and their Shieldmaidens kuttes.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Th’ Carters an’ Th’ Conjurin’ bae a strange brew, yeah?
Bandit grins, shrugging slightly, almost playfully.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Just seems like somebody thought it was a great juxtaposition, like setting up an old school set of Megadeth up against some bubble gum pop and then throwing in some crossover type stuff with us…
Psycho considers this for a second.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, tha name bae a Megadeth song first…
Bandit nods.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Damn right, one they won’t even play anymore because the Daves found Jesus and decided it was a bad idea to sing about black magic when they’re trying to claim to be all clean, sober and pious…
Psycho smirks.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: I dinna tink Luke an’ Annabelle bae havin’ tha problem, Lass.
Bandit bursts out laughing.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Oh fuck no and if they did, everyone would think they were either exceptionally wasted or fucking pod people and be like, “Where did our championship-level competitiors go?”
Psycho chuckles.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, I would have th’ same thought if Venom suddenly did tha as well…
Bandit shakes her head.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: If Venom suddenly “found Jesus” we’d be giving her an exorcism on the fucking spot because that means she’s possessed by something and we should be watching out for the pea soup!
Psycho can’t help but laugh at the thought of doing that to either Venom or Annabelle knowing the reaction either woman would have.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, but th’ Carters…
Bandit shakes her head in disgust.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Gag me with a fucking spoon! They strike me as the kind of Disney bullshit artists that would sell sex but then claim to be clean and pure and perfectly sober and all pious…
She pauses and then nods in a highly exaggerated fashion.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: And then roll out the back door, sparking up a spliff that would make the Wailers jealous and roll to a party where they do more coke than Led Zeppelin, Motley Crue and Grand Master Flash all rolled into one big Eminem and Kid Rock bow!
Psycho just stares at her partner.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Begorra, tha bae a lot o’ blow!
Bandit nods knowingly.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Actually, they remind me of scene from DS9…
Psycho smiles.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, th’ root baer?
Bandit nods.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: because their kind of music is exactly that. It’s vile, but if you hear enough of it...
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Ye begin tae hate it less an’ less…
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Sometimes you even start to actually like it. It’s like a great lie they tell over and over again until it becomes accepted as the truth by everyone even though they all know better!
Psycho shakes her head.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Th’ Carters bae insidious…
Bandit nods her agreement.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: And the Conjuring can be too since they’re supposed to be a “Special Attraction” type deal. You don’t see them that often and then, bam, there they are, ready to go and come at you like a cancerous tumor you didn’t see until it was already Stage 4!
Psycho shakes her head.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, this sounds like we bae fightin’ some serious shit!
Bandit shrugs.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: And we didn’t even hit eighty-eight miles an hour yet!
The two nod to each other grinning before looking back to the camera.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: So now that we’ve identified the disease…
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: We bae naedin tae show ye the cure!
Bandit nods pointedly.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: It’s time to make the mash-up of all mash-ups and give everybody the cure for boredom!
Psycho nods in kind.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: ST…
