A simple shirt on with jeans. He was inside a Gym near the GCW Building. Not many people were around. It was cold outside and early the morning. Nova was trying to focus on GCW. He thought about it a lot. Already, he had met Amanda Wallace and Jessica Phoenix, but he wasn't done oh no. His muscle mass was already big enough and with his 6'05'' ft, he only needed endurance.
He lifted medium-size weights at a fast pace. His eyes burned in desire. He didn't know who he would face in GCW, but he didn't care for now. He would see that victory is his in the future, but for now, he couldn't really focus. Police cars passed by. He could only blink, wait and hate himself for not going. In his past memory, only one word was constantly coming back to him...
''Void.''
He was continuing his training. He entered a trance where he was only training. It lasted like 45 minutes. People passed by, but he didn't notice them. Just who else was training in there? |

The man, Andrew Rose, had been at the gym for the entire time this newer man was lifting, actually taking notice of him. To say he was impressed for immediately, like, leaving the planet just about to work out was an understatement, especially with how he seemed to be distracted by every sound that passed by the window. Maybe he was wanted? He did seem to be a bit... fidgety, concerning the police cars driving by. He didn't really want to say anything, as he was at the time working on his leg extensions for the past few minutes, building up his quad strength for the leaps he knew he would take in the ring.
His long hair was tied back, he'd retired his flashier ensemble for a tank top and work out pants, and his MP3 player's earbuds were in his ears, feeding him a mix of rock to run through his brain and pump him up, if you will, towards the lifting. Finally, he stops after noticing the man seemed to go non-stop, like a machine...
"Hey! You may want to slow it down some... you don't want to strain, pull or tear something, now do you?"
He shouts over to the stranger, allowing the cables of the leg extensions to rest, being done with the exercise and his four repetitions of twelve...

That stranger was right.
''... of course not.''
He was still going. The sweat was simply falling over his face. It was tough. He knew however that training was required. He knew his potential was good enough for GCW, and he didn't want to go there unprepared. He continued just a little bit. Ouch... He stopped. That was enough? Let's hope it was.
''I know the limits of my body.''
The weights were back at their place. His eyes were now on the stranger who yelled at him.
''Do you know yours?''
He walked towards him. |

"Of course I do..."
He turns the power off of the MP3 player, rolling the earbuds up and sliding it in his armband with the device as he gets up off of the chair.
"I mean, look at me... I'm 6 and a half feet tall... I like how well I can move, so my workout is definitely tailored directly to it so that I can be able to move and use the air. I like that style, and suprisingly, I can wrestle it quite well. Oh, I'm a wrestler by the way. Now, actually... was fighting MMA out of boredom..."
He glanced down at the body part he seemed to be favoring after the workout...
"Maybe I should hook you up with my guy too? He could probably slap together a perfect work out for you as well... so that doesn't happen again..."

He nodded.
''A Wrestler?''
Not many wrestlers around. First, Jessica Phoenix, now him. Seems like people know where the money is. Nova was thinking to himself that maybe this man would be wrestling at the same place than him.
''... Where are you wrestling?''
A small headache was hitting Nova. Not again... |

"A federation in this city... Global Championship Wrestling. I've been terribly bored and really just want to get out and do something, so I came on out and filled out a registration form. Should work out alright, I've got plently of fighting training... most of it coming out of boredom as well... but, hey, it'll work, right?
....
Name's Andrew Rose, by the way... and you are...?"

''My name is V... my name is... Nova.''
''You may have heard that name during your childhood or something. It seems that some people in Chicago know me, but I can't recall...''
Pfft... Saying something about memory problems? Wait...
''...GCW, I guess? You're... wrestling there?...'' |

"Nova... huh? Can't say I've ever heard that name... kinda unusual, if you ask me... like, outside of a comic book or something... but, yeah, I'm wrestling for that GCW promotion that's opening up next month. Just got in from Houston last night, fired my assistant, and sent him back to my dad. He'll be all set with that severence package anyways... just, gotta strike out on my own, y'know?"
Andrew reaches down, grabbing two Fifty pound dumbbells, starting to curl them as he talks to the stranger, grunting in between reps.
"Some of us... nngh... just aren't meant to follow our... nngh... family's legacies, no?"
He sets the weights down on the floor next to his feet, rotating his shoulders to relieve the burn from the reps.

He slowly walked to the nearest window, putting one hand on it. So cold.
''I guess everybody got their own reasons to be GCW.''
What's mine?... Damn.
''You met many peo...''
Police Cars again passed by. Sirens and flashers on. He looked on the floor for a few seconds. Crime was just insanely high in Chicago these days. And he was there, talking...
''... You met many people from the GCW yet?'' |

"One of the bosses... that's about it. Candice... very nice woman. Beautiful too..."
He grabs the dumbbells from the rack again...
"But other than that? He starts his repetitions... No, none yet..."

Damn.
''Don't know much about that place yet. Candice, you say?''
He looked back at Andrew.
''I've met Amanda Wallace. Is there two bosses? Or more?'' |

"From what I had read? No... just Candice and Amanda. Candice did say something about a show split, so maybe there's some... "Under-bosses" or whatever you'd call them..."
He sets down his weights, arching his back in a small stretch...
I'm really curious and excited to see what they bring to the table though. It's almost like when I had gotten in to fighting a year or so ago..."

''Fighting. Is that when you started your career?'' |

"Nah, I've only had a few fights. Mostly because I was bored. I've kind of... had my life planned out for me... so yeah. It sucks, and I don't want to go the way of other hotel heirs. Which is what I am. I don't want to be the drug addict plastered all over your tabloid, and I don't want to be cooped up having life handed to me. GCW will be my first wrestling experience, however..."

''Oh, I respect that. Good move. Good motives.''
His eyes went to the outside... Again.
''Do you happen to know any good Wrestling moves? I'm sure you trained, right?'' |
