The X factor

Chapter 1- the 'normal' day

It was suppose to be a fun day at the carnival for the WWE superstars, some laughter, some games, and a hell of a lot of junk food. Yet it wasn't sadly. Kane, Chris Jericho, Edge, Batista, Maria, the Undertaker, Mickey James, Christian and the Hardys were being chased throughout the grounds in pursuit of autographs. Yet oddly enough they sought shelter in the same location. A simple tent that without doubt the fans saw them sneak into, and yet no one bothered to look. "Oh damn it," hissed Edge. "Christian and I were next in line for the roller coaster! Next thing we knew, we're running for our hides!"

"Hey I was waiting for candy apples!" growled Kane. All of a sudden, every eye turned to the Deadman. "Why the hell are you here?"

Taker sneered. "McMahon sent me for 'R&R'. I don't like carnivals." He growled lowly. Batista peered through the tent opening. The fans were still about, so they were trapped. The tent was dark at first, until a sudden light came one. A lone table appeared in the darkness, a crystal ball appeared and an old woman soon came into view.

She was a strange little thing, no one said a word at first until Chris Jericho announced. "Oh crap! It's a con tent!" he announced.

"A con, no. But you looked like you needed help" the old woman said. Her crystal ball became aglow as she turned her hands around it. "I know who you are, and I assure you. I am not interested in your money. I wish to reward you!" she explained.

Taker kept looking out through the tent to see if he could find a way out. The woman went on as she explained that she knows of their work, especially with children. "I believe in the saying, no one stands taller when they are leading down to pick up a child. You have all done such a thing for children who have been ill and in need. Lifting spirits is of great importance. So I would like to grant you a wish" she explained.

"So you're a genie now?" questioned Matt. "Look Miss, we're glad that we could hide out in here. We really must be going"

"You're reward will come in the dream that you have!" she called as Taker gave the call clear to move out. Everyone decided to cut their losses and go back to the hotel, Edge decided to have a quick nap before dinner. After all he was on the run most of the day.

He hit the bed and started to dream aloud, a smile came over his face as he thought of the latest movie. Wolverine. He smiled at the idea of having superpowers like the mutants. Since the day had been etched into his mind, Edge couldn't help but think of his friends with superpowers. He then saw the old woman from the tent. She smiled to him. "So you dream it, so it shall be!" she announced.

Edge snapped out of his dream, he woke in a cold sweat and looked about the room. Christian had just come in when he looked rather confused. "What's with you? You look like you've seen a ghost!"

Edge shook his head stating it was nothing, but that woman was too vivid for it to be a dream. He shook his head of the thought as he joined the guys for dinner. Nothing strange happened or occurred, but the next morning was a whole different story….
