Title: Inspiration

These past few months have been hard. Thaddeus is still in a coma, the family is getting tense. The majority of them want to turn his life support but there is still those who oppose it. Wrestling is the furtherest thing from my mind right now. In just a couple of days WWG hold it's Orion special in memory of L. I am taking part in this event and i need to get my head straight. If that's even possible. I've set up a afternoon with Uncle Desmond at the old drinking hole that he and dad have made famous.

The evening was dull, light rain feel from the sky and the cloud cover made it look night time. I stepped out of my car and walked towards the entrance. I put my hand on the door and sighed. I hadn't seen Desmond since he came to the hospital to visit dad and i attacked him with a fit or rage, i honestly don't even rememeber what it was all about.

You going to open the door? Said a stranger behind me waiting to get inside and have a coldie.

Eh, Ah, yes. My bad. Sorry sir.

I pushed the door open and entered. Sitting at the bar allready was Desmond, drink sitting in front of him as he spoke with the bartender. A long time friend of Dad's.

My nephew was suppose to meet me here about half n hour away, he says as he checks his watch. A slight laugh coming out after. Throw me another one.

Make that two.

Desmond swung around looking surprised to actually see me.

Didn't think i'd show huh?

Not at all, Desmond grumbled. It's just been soo long since i've heard from you. Last time you weren't doing to well, and you've been ignoring my calls and texts, being all distant.

I walked over taking a seat next to Dessmond and took a gulp from my drink the bartender had placed there.

Really have no excuses uncle. I'm in a bad place and can't get out of it. Now WWG want me to wrestle, they have finally decided to throw up a show after months of nothing. Many thought they were going to be out of business. I'm not even sure what the future holds for the WWG, let alone what it holds for me. There's been no improvement and the family are slowly turning to turning off his life support.

It's not going to happen Ethan, not whilst me and you have a say. I dont care how much money it's costing, he's staying on it and he's going to wake up. As for the WWG, what do you think your father would want? He'd want you to keep doing what you do best and that's wrestling. This Orion event is you time to hit back, time to show the WWG that you do belong. Thaddeus and L were great mates and if Thaddeus wasn't in that coma he'd be taking place in this for sure, and he'd want you to. His entire life he tried his heart out to keep you out of the gang life and guide you towards wrestling, don't let that dimish now. Take this oppurtunity Ethan and make him proud.

I didn't say anything and instead took another drink finishing it off and calling for another. Desmond did the same. There was a silence for a moment. Desmond knew i was taking it in. It got me thinking.

I never knew L. personally. I know he was well liked backstage and got along with everybody. I remember dad use to tell me stories about this guy who had just started in the WWG and he immediatly earnt the respect. I remember watching him on TV and cheering him on. It's rumoured that L had his personal demons yet he still went out there and entertained for the audience, he always put everyone else first. My heads not in it, it;s just not but if something or someone could give me that inspiration then its L and it's this event. L is a inspiration. I will compete, i will try my best and i will honour L.

I thought that this was short and sweet.  I thought it accomplished a lot, it set up Ethan for the event while producing a storyline that he could possibly continue.  I think there's a lot of untapped potential for the character of Ethan.  I think he's got that Michael Corleone story arch.  He's apart of the first family of WWG, and the heir to that throne.  Good stuff, I just want more.
