Part Three

 Triple H declared, "Dominick, Adelia is Eddie's daughter. Compare a photo of Eddie with Adelia; the resemblance is unmistakable." After viewing Eddie's photo, Dominick turned to Adelia and said, "I'm truly sorry, Adelia. My ignorance stems from my father's silence about Eddie, and I deserved that slap." Adelia forgave him, "It's fine. I fiercely guard my father's legacy since his loss when I was young, and I took up wrestling to honor him." Damien's smile at Adelia prompted her to say, "That smile's meant for me, Prest." Damien admitted, "You got me, Adelia. And Dominick, continue this way, and you're out, understand?"

    Dominick acknowledged with a nod. Rhea interjected, "Damien, you're not the boss here. We need a leader versed in Spanish tactics." Triple H proposed, "Hence, I suggest Adelia for the leadership of Judgment Day." Dominick, Rhea, Damien, and Finn agreed with Triple H, "We support Adelia as our leader in Judgment Day." Triple H confirmed, "Adelia, you're now the leader of Judgment Day." Exiting Triple H's office, Damien reminded, "You'll need to adapt your style to fit ours, alright?" Adelia agreed, "I realize I must alter my look to align with the group." 

    Next week on Raw, Adelia will be preparing as Damian is scheduled to face Jey Uso. Damian approached Adelia and inquired, "Hey Adelia, are you ready to be at ringside for my match?" Adelia replied, "I'm ready, but I'm very nervous because I have a gut feeling that Rey will come out to see me." Damian reassured her, "Don't be nervous; the fans will notice. I've reviewed the script, and Rey will come out to talk about Dominick. He'll see you, offer a hug, but you'll step behind me as he'll be mentioning Eddie." Adelia nodded and responded, "Being myself, I would be protective of my father's name." Damian stated, "That is why you are the leader of Judgment Day; because you are extremely protective of the people you love the most. I've always wanted another female character in Judgment Day because Rhea needs a girl best friend who truly understands the girl codes. Triple H said, "Five minutes until your match, Priest."

    After the match concluded, Adelita heard Rey's theme song. Adelita glanced between Dominick and Damian, declaring, "Change of plans." Damian asked, "Why, Princess? Do you wish to protect the group?" Adelita nodded and stated, "If I am the leader of this group, I will protect my family, especially since three members of the group are Hispanic." Rey stepped into the ring and spotted Adelita, rushing towards her, but Adelita swiftly moved to the right.  Adelita reached for the microphone and exclaimed, "Oh hi, Uncle Rey, did you miss me?" Rey turned to Adelita and asked, "Why did you tell me that you came to the main show?"  

   Adelita said, "I didn't want to be part of LWO, but to be part of a group that makes me feel like I have a family again, right Priest?" Damian nodded and said: "Oh, Rey, haremos que tu Sobrina se sienta parte de una verdadera familia" (Oh, Rey, we will make your niece feel like she's part of a real family). Rey asked, "Adelita, did Rhea brainwash you into joining this family?" To which Adelita replied, "Rhea didn't brainwash me; it was Triple H's idea for me to join Judgment Day and I am trying to make my dad be proud of me because he told me that if I needed any help that I would call you Rey, but you would never there for me".

  Damian placed a hand on Adelita's shoulder and said, "It's okay, Princesa, we will always protect you." Adelita replied, "I know you guys will protect me because I feel as if my dad is right beside me whenever I'm around Judgment Day." Rey said, "I am sorry that I haven't been there for you since your dad passed away." Adelita rolled her eyes, walked away from Rey, and said to the group, "Let's go before I hit my uncle, because it won't be pretty."  Judgment Day and Adelita made their way backstage. Damian asked, "What's wrong, Bonita?" Adelita replied, "Rey knows that if someone speaks of my father, it makes me feel like a bad daughter." 

   Damian said," you are not a bad daughter because I watched some of your dad's matches and you have some of your dad's fighting spirt". Adelita said, "People often remark that I fight like my father, but I take comfort in knowing that I'm keeping his spirit alive. I miss him so deeply that whenever I watch videos of my dad, I feel his gaze upon me, smiling down."  Embracing Adelita, Damian said, "He is certainly watching over you, and he is very proud because you are honoring your family name." Adelita said, "I know he is very proud of me, but I feel like I am not living up to my own expectations." 

    Damian gazed at Adelita and said, "Don't push yourself too hard because you'll burn out faster, and on judgment day, we need a leader who doesn't wear herself thin. We need the Adelita Guerrero who can back her words with action." Adelita smiled and said, "Thank you, Damian, because I really needed that." Adelita mused, "I think I'm developing a crush on Damian because his presence makes me feel safe. But what if the feelings aren't mutual?". Rhea spotted Adelita and said, "Oh, does someone have a crush on the Heavyweight Champ?" 

Adelita glanced at Rhea and whispered, "I think I have a crush on Damian. Please don't tell him, but you can tell Finn, Dominick, and JD." Rhea laughed and said, "I can't tell him, but it's going to be hard not to since he's right behind us." Adelita glanced back, caught sight of Damian, and her cheeks flushed with a deep blush. Damian approached the two women and said, "I knew you liked me, Adelita, because every time I'm away from the group, you seem to panic about the group." Adelita blushed deeply and cast her eyes downward. She inquired, "Damian, do you harbor feelings for me? It seems every time I begin to panic, you're right there to calm me." Damian smiled, walked up to Adelita, and confessed, "I've had feelings for you since the first time I saw you in NXT, but I was too shy to say anything. How about a date with the Heavyweight Champ tonight?". Adelita, taken aback, replied, "Yes, Damian, I will go out with you. What time will you pick me up?"
