Bullet Club Reunion - Emery x BC/Elite
Part of my Dark Angel of the Bullet Club series
This... didn't go as I originally planned it would. Takes place somewhere around the 2021 area, summertime. Estimated.
This does kinda show where she met Damian and ELP though, which later leads to other chapters of theirs, Love Language (damian) and Comfortable Silence (ELP -- he does have more, just check the masterlist).
Summary: Emery attends meet-and-greet convention that is hosting all the companies; New Japan, WWE, AEW, ROH, Impact, and Indies. There, she gets to meet with fans and old friends-- and make new ones. But what happens when the bratty Dark Angel starts to slip out? Well, someone's gotta put her back in her place, of course.

Emery loved events like this. It allowed her the opportunity to connect with the fans, much like she was able to when she was sixteen. Her brown eyes would scan over each person she saw, keeping an eye peeled for anyone that could need a friend—like she had needed Kofi. Even though she hadn’t known she did, fate had decided for her and threw him into her life. For that, Emery was eternally grateful.
She was also grateful for the air-conditioned building the convention was being held in, as the hot, humid South Carolina summer sun was making it almost unbearable outside.
Emery had been to many different conventions and meet-and-greets, but this was the first she remembered being a part of that had people from all the wrestling companies. There were representatives from New Japan, Ring of Honor, Impact, All Elite, WWE, and multiple independents. It was nice, she had to admit, that they could all mingle and talk with one another—instead of some invisible barrier seemingly keeping them apart.
“Ready for a break?” Kenny asked her, looking to his right. They were sharing a table for the event, with Matt and Nick at a table beside them on Emery’s side. Brandon was roaming around the convention, sticking mostly with the Bucks to film bits for Being the Elite.
“Yeah, that’d be fine,” Emery nodded, looking over at the brothers, “You guys taking a break?”
“Might as well. My wrist is getting a little sore anyway,” Matt frowned, rolling the wrist in question in an attempt to soothe the bones and muscles. He had recently landed on it wrong during a match, resulting in a minor tear. It wasn’t enough to need surgery or a brace, but the doctor did tell him no wrestling for at least two weeks to ensure it healed properly.
Kenny and Nick put up the ‘Back Soon’ signs on their respective tables before they all got up and started walking around the large room, seeing who was there. Unfortunately, some of the wrestlers couldn’t make it to the event, so some spots were empty- but there were still a decent number of names there. Colt Cabana and Mark Sterling were among the AEW roster that couldn’t make their appearances, as well as Ring of Honor’s Dalton Castle and Impact’s Chelsea Green, Emery noticed as they passed by the ROH and Impact sections set up. Reaching the start of the WWE tables, she noticed a few empty spots but also saw several people she’d love to talk to.
The unfortunate part? She was way too shy to approach them.
Namely—Finn Balor. Emery was well aware he had created Bullet Club. Without him, there would BE no Bullet Club. She had also used inspiration from him for her Dark Angel persona, carefully watching all his matches where he would bring out the Demon.
Beside him sat Damian Priest, his fellow Judgement Day stable mate.
“Very attractive stable mate—" Emery blushed at the thought that crossed her mind, quickly looking away before he could see her ogling him.
“Haro, Finn,” Kenny greeted in Japanese as they passed by, giving him a respectful nod. (T: "Hello, Finn.")
“Hajimemashite, Kenny,” Finn smiled, “Dangan club wa atode 4ji koro ni issho ni atsumari masu.” (T: "Nice to see you, Kenny." "Bullet Club is meeting together later on, around four.")
“Karera wa? Tanoshi sou desu ne. Kaigi wa doko ni ari masu ka.” (T: "Are they? Sounds fun. Where is the meeting?")
The Bucks nudged one another as they watched Emery’s face drop into a frown as she tried translating the words. Japanese never was easy for her to learn, so for most of her time spent in New Japan, she heavily relied on Kenny to translate. They also knew, as did Kenny—and anyone who knew her, really—that Kenny’s voice, especially when he spoke Japanese, made her weak in the knees. If she were animated, she would have hearts in her eyes as she listened to him speak the language.
“Hol no tan ni aru saigo heya, executive no heya.” (T: "Last room at the end hall, the executive one.")
“Ii desu ne, sokode o ai shi masho u,” Kenny nodded as a fan approached Finn’s table. (T: "Sounds good, we will see you there.")
Emery stood there beside him, a pout on her face as she listened to the two talked, the Japanese rolling off their tongue flawlessly. Kenny laughed when he saw the look on her face, deciding to toy with her some more—knowing how she felt when he spoke the language.
“Dou shi ta no, watashi no tenshi? Anata wa iwa re ta koto wa kanzen ni rikai suru koto ga deki mase nichi ka? Aa, demo, watashi gak ono you ni hanasu toki, anata ga watashi no koe wa kiku no ga dorehodo suki ka shitsu te iya masu. Tanoshin de iya masu ne?” (T: "What’s the matter, my angel? Are you not able to fully understand what was said? Ah, but I know how much you like listening to my voice when I talk like this. You enjoy it, don’t you?")
“Zonzai,” Emery huffed, using one of the few words she did know in Japanese, causing all three to chuckle at her. (T: "Rude.")
In a rare public display of affection, Kenny leaned close and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before they continued on. Soon after, they came across a rather… interesting setup.
“Okay, Creed, how much did you pay to rig THIS up?” Emery laughed, seeing that his table was right next to a table that sat Claudio and Adam Cole. To the other side of Creed was another table with Tyler Breeze and NWA’s Dirty Dango.
“I beg your pardon,” Creed recoiled defensively, “I would never do such a thing.”
“Right, sure,” Emery nodded, narrowing her eyes playfully. She saw the spot beside him was empty and looked at the banner behind Creed, her heart dropping in dismay. “Kofi couldn’t make it?”
“Nah,” Creed shook his head, frowning, “One of his kids got sick the other day. One of those contagious bugs. I can video him if you want to talk?” He pulled his phone out of his pocket, pointing to it as Emery’s eyes brightened up. Quickly, Nick and Matt jumped in, shaking their hands.
“Nah, nah, nah—you call him, she will take your phone for the next five to seven hours,” Nick warned, Emery frowning at him as Creed slowly slid his phone back into his pocket.
“Zonzai,” Emery glared at the Bucks, crossing her arms in front of her. (T: "Rude.")
“Nice going, Ken. You and Finn started her on her Japanese trend. Now she’ll keep on for the next, oh… three days?” Matt sighed as Kenny shrugged.
“Maybe I’ll teach her more, just to expand her vocabulary, and she can annoy you more,” Kenny threatened playfully as the Bucks rolled their eyes.
“Great.”
“Exactly what we need.”
“Do I get a hug, or am I still dead?” Adam asked, giving his best puppy dog eyes to Emery.
She smiled over at him, taking a step forward before pausing.
“Hmm… I should check with Kye first. Something seems… off.”
“Oh, come on!” Adam laughed, deflating at the accusation, “You should know him and me by now. We team up and then fight, team up and then fight. It’s our cycle, it’s what we do.”
“So, like a rotating boyfriend. On again, off again,” Nick smirked.
“Sure,” Adam shrugged, “I bet within the next year or so, he and I will be back together.”
“…. Okay, fine I guess you can have a hug then.”
“Sweet,” Adam smiled, hopping up off his chair and around the table. His arms snaked around Emery’s body, giving her a warm hug, smiling to himself as Emery returned the hug.
“It’s nice to see you again,” Emery murmured against his chest, barely loud enough for him to hear.
“Yeah, same. It’s been a while,” Adam whispered back, placing a kiss on the top of her head as he let go.
“What, no hug for me?” Creed questioned, unamused.
“I dunno depends.”
“On what?” he deadpanned, not liking where this was going.
“Give me a rematch.”
“Never.”
“Then no hug.”
“Fine. I don’t need one anyway,” Creed frowned, waving her off.
“ZONZAI!” (T: "RUDE!")
“This is Swiss, by the way,” Adam said, introducing Claudio as he gave a wave from his seat. Emery turned her glare away from Creed to smile at Claudio, giving him a friendly wave.
“You hear about the thing later on?” Kenny asked Adam, who gave a nod.
“What thing?”
“Yeah, Finn told me. You guys gonna be there?”
“Be where?”
“Might consider it,” Matt shrugged.
“Consider what?”
“It’ll be nice hanging out together.”
“Guys,” Emery cried, pouting, “Stop ignoring meeeee.”
Everyone, including Swiss, Creed, and Breeze (who had walked over closer), laughed as she crossed her arms in front of her.
“Are they bullying you again, Darlin’?” Hangman questioned, walking up behind her.
“Yes!” Emery frowned, spinning around and throwing herself against his frame, her arms wrapping around Hangman and holding tight. He sighed, a small smile crossing his face as he wrapped his own arms around her and rubbed her back comfortingly.
“Hangman?”
“Hmm?” He looked down at her as she tilted her head up.
“Do you know what nice thing is going on later that people might be going to?”
Hangman swallowed thickly as he stared into her eyes; accompanying her pout were the patented puppy dog eyes that worked on just about everyone she met. He stayed silent, unable to look away, but when her chin started to wobble, and tears began to build at the edges of her eyes, he panicked.
“It’s a surprise,” Hangman quickly said, his blue eyes wide as he finally was able to blink.
“A surprise?”
“Yeah—you don’t want to ruin the surprise, right?” he asked her as she slowly shook her head. The puppy dog waterworks that threatened to spill were gone, her chin no longer wobbling.
“All right then,” Hangman smiled, giving her forehead a quick kiss. As she let go of him and turned back around to the others, Hangman gave a silent but very visible sigh of relief, closing his eyes briefly as he shook his head.
“I told you not to teach her the puppy dog eyes,” Nick frowned, lightly smacking Matt on his shoulder.
“Ow, hey!”
“You guys are way too much,” Creed shook his head in disbelief.
“Perhaps, but I wouldn’t trade them for the world,” Emery smiled. She loved her dysfunctional friends and makeshift family unit.
“You guys been over there yet?” Adam asked, pointing his thumb over his shoulder. They all looked and saw the all too familiar black and white symbols on several tables, as well as the distinguishable ‘NJPW’ letters nearby.
“Not yet. Who’s here, do you know?” Matt asked him.
“Not too many, I think only six or seven actually showed. David Finlay and O’spreay are no-shows.”
“Good,” Emery deadpanned. There was no love lost for O’Spreay and something about Finlay she just didn’t like too much.
“But I have noticed Robinson, Ishimori, ELP, and Switchblade.”
“Jay’s here?” Emery brightened up.
“Yeah, he’s down there. Have you met the others yet?” Adam asked her.
“I think I remember Juice a little… but not the other two. Kenny, can we—”
“Our break’s almost up, Angelface. Maybe if we have time later,” Kenny told her as he began steering her away from the black and white.
“Fine,” Emery pouted, “Bye guys, we’ll see you!” As Emery, Kenny, and Hangman walked away, Matt, Nick, and Adam shared a look of amusement.
“It’s funny how much she’s opened up since the end of 2013,” Adam smiled, “Heck, even since I left in 2017. She was still a little shy back then, only being herself around certain people. Now? Even Swiss gets a warm welcome.”
“Right? I think it’s Kenny’s weirdness that’s rubbing off on her,” Nick joked.
“Very likely,” Matt agreed, “Anyway, we gotta get back too. See ya later at the reunion.”
“All right, guys, I’ll see ya.”
----A Few Hours Later---
“But I’m hungry,” Emery frowned as Matt and Nick carefully led her through the hall. Kenny was walking along behind her, his hands covering her eyes in an effort to keep the ‘surprise’ going.
“We know you are Ree, but you can eat at the surprise,” Nick told her.
“There will be food there?”
“Should be—if someone thought about getting some…” Matt frowned as they stopped right outside the closed door. They had led her around the hallways for a solid ten minutes or so, tricking her into thinking they had gone farther away than they actually had.
“All right, ready?” Nick asked her as she excitedly nodded her head.
“Are you gonna tell her, or are we?”
“We should let Hangman—he’s the one that said it.”
“Said what?” Emery frowned; her eyes were still covered by Kenny’s hands. He dropped his hands, letting her see the closed door before she turned around, confused. The Bucks stood beside Kenny, looking at her apologetically.
“It’s…. not really a surprise, kitten,” Kenny admitted, an apologetic smile on his face.
“What?”
“Yeah, Hangman came up with something on the fly to keep you from crying.”
“Ihr idioten!” Emery growled, crossing her arms in front of her as Claudio was walking by on his way out of the venue. He stopped short and looked over at her, a brief look of amusement on his face before he switched it to shock. (T: "You jerks!") ((german))
Behind her, the door opened, and voices flowed from inside the room; shortly after, it clicked shut softly. Whoever had exited the room stood behind her in silence, watching and waiting.
“Language, little lady.”
“Verpiss dich, Schweizer,” she grumbled, not even looking at him as she pouted. (T: "Piss off, Swiss.")
“Rude,” Claudio frowned, causing Kenny to look at Emery in surprise before sighing in disappointment.
“She really being cruel?” Nick asked Claudio, who nodded in return.
“I’m slightly insulted and impressed at the same time.”
“Niemand--!” Swiss held up his hands in surrender before exiting through the door, leaving them to their own devices. (T: "Nobody--!")
Kenny frowned at her, cutting her off as he said, “Sate, juubun nani chiisana onnanoko. Anata ga furumawa nai nara—” (T: "Okay, enough little girl. If you don’t behave--")
“Shove it,” Emery huffed, turning her head to look away from all of them.
From behind her, a strong hand wove into her hair before gripping and yanking her head back slightly. The sudden action caught Emery by surprise, a gasp escaping her throat as her hands reached back to grab at the hand behind her.
“Is my princess being a little brat?” A familiar voice growled in her ear, his head resting against hers. Kenny, Nick, and Matt stood there silently, not doing anything to help her—not even when her eyes darted to them from her current stance, wordlessly pleading with them.
“Sorry, Ree, you brought it upon yourself,” Matt shrugged.
“Besides, you were so excited earlier to see him,” Kenny told her, his eyes narrowing in slight jealousy.
“I—I—”
“Here I was hoping we could have a fun time. Hadn’t seen you in some years now… but no,” the voice sighed in disappointment, tugging back a little rougher, “No, you had to go and cop an attitude for no reason.”
“I’m—I’m sorry, Jay.”
“Not me you should be apologizing to, Princess.”
“I’m sorry, Kenny.”
“And?”
“H-he’s gone—”
“Say it,” Jay growled, his grip tightening in a warning.
“Sorry, Claudio.”
“Good girl,” Jay commended, his grip loosening slightly, “Now, are we going to behave, or do I have to show the rest of Bullet Club how to keep you in line?”
“I’ll behave.”
“Good choice, princess,” Jay told her, kissing the side of her head as he let her go, smirking at Kenny, “That’s how you deal with that. I thought Dark Angel was your territory, Omega. Didn’t seem to be able to handle her that time.”
“I would have gotten there, but you had to butt in, White,” Kenny glared at him.
“Wait—did you say ‘rest of bullet club’ ?” Emery questioned, turning around to face Jay with wide eyes.
“That’s right, princess. Did these idiots not tell you?”
She shook her head no, holding her breath as she waited in anticipation.
“Of course, they didn’t,” Jay rolled his eyes before pointing over his shoulder, “Finn realized that a good chunk of Bullet Club past and present was going to be at this event, so he decided to hold a mini-reunion.”
“Really?!”
“Really. Shall we?” Jay extended a hand towards her, which she giddily took, missing the dark look across Kenny’s face as she followed Jay into the room. He threw a wink over his shoulder before the door shut behind him, leaving the Bucks and Kenny outside in the hall.
“Well, that didn’t take long, did it, Matt?”
“Nope, and I think that’s a new record.”
“Record for what?” Kenny snapped, looking at the brothers.
“For someone making you jealous,” Nick laughed, “C’mon, let’s get in there before the current Bullet Club steals her away from us. You know she’s a fan of ELP.”
Kenny quickly pushed past them and stalked into the room, trying to keep his composure. He noticed that Phantasmo, Ishimori, and Juice had already swarmed Jay and Emery, and it took everything in him not to walk over there and lead her away. Soon, even Chris Bey and Ace Austin joined them, talking to Emery and making her laugh.
“He’s jealous, ain’t he?” Anderson questioned, coming to stand beside Matt.
“Record time, too,” Matt told him, causing Anderson to let out a low whistle.
“Wow. Jay really knows how to push those buttons, doesn’t he?”
“Yepp,” Nick nodded, chuckling slightly as he noticed a frown appear on Jay’s face. El Phantasmo had whisked Emery away towards the food table, seemingly stealing her from his friend.
“Looks like Jay has some competition himself,” Matt noticed, grinning.
“Not jus’ him,” Finn said, walking over to them, “Damian’s been talking my ear off all evening abou’ her.” The Irishman nodded his head in Emery’s direction, and they watched as the tall Puerto Rican walked up to her and El Phantasmo. He said something to her, causing her to laugh—and immediately, Phantasmo’s face seemed to fall a bit.
“This is going to get really, really interesting,” Nick realized.
“Just wait till Hangman finds out,” Matt chuckled.
“She’s gonna have to have a battle royal or a tournament—something—to crown a winner,” Gallows said as he joined the group, watching across the room.
“My bets on Kenny,” Nick shrugged.
“Why Kenny?” Anderson asked.
“The eyes, gaming, dorkiness, and the Japanese.”
“Jays got an accent, pretty eyes, very toned and muscular, and isn’t afraid to put her in her place when the Dark Angel comes out.”
“Fair point. But Damian’s tall and has all those muscles, plus speaks another language.”
“So? Hangman’s a cowboy. All chicks love cowboys. He’s got an accent of sorts-- and blue eyes.”
“Riley’s tall, toned, and has a blue-green looking eye color. Loves music too. An equal mix of good guy and bad boy.”
“Something tells me this isn’t going to be over any time soon,” Nick smirked, watching as Emery was surrounded by almost everyone, a smile on her face as she listened to each one. This was definitely going to get interesting.
