AN:
This is my entry in Liason Haven's Russian Roulette Fic Challenge. I thought it it was my idea it was only fair I participate as well. The idea is to base a fic off a randomly assigned first line. First thanks to CJ Clark for the awesome prompt. Second thanks to the most awesome beta Chyna.

Background:

This is very AU. Cam is five and lives with his mom, Elizabeth Webber. Elizabeth is an artist. Jason just moved in next door to Elizabeth and Cam. There is no Jake.

That's it for now as always feel free to ask me questions.

Mission Improbable: The Cupid Files

Chapter One

Cam peaked around the corner and saw that his mother wasn't alone. At the realization, the young boy scrunched his nose. Apparently, his mother was back from her date. Who was it tonight? Oh yeah. That cop. Lucky something. Cameron wondered if Lucky was an actual name. 'I mean who names their kid after a dog?' He thought trying to smother a giggle. The last thing Cam need was for his mother to catch him up past bedtime. Georgie had put him to bed hours ago.

That idea was nearly blown when Sucky kissed his mom. 'What was she thinking?' Cameron wondered shaking his curly head. He loved his mom, really he did. She was the prettiest and smartest person he knew. That is why he couldn't understand why she dated such losers.

First was the prince who didn't like kids. Naturally it didn't take Cam long to get rid of the guy. Next came the snooty lawyer. He was more subtle than the prince in his demands. Cam almost immediately disliked him. After all no one but him could trick his mom. Fortunately, Cameron was smarter than most people gave him credit for. It had taken a long time for his mom to date after that. Which led him back to the idiot kissing his mom.

Cameron knew the guy had to go. The only trouble was how. At five Cam had long stopped wetting the bed. He didn't want to fake being sick because that would mean staying in bed the next day. That left a nightmare. The problem was Cameron Webber wasn't scared of much. Of course, he wasn't going to tell anyone else that. "Mommy?" He called out softly from the top of the steps.

Elizabeth immediately pulled away, her attention only on Cam. "Is something wrong sweetie?"

"I can't sleep."

"Awe. Did you have a bad dream?" Cam nodded his curly head as he looked at Elizabeth with sad brown eyes. "Lucky maybe you should go."

"Yeah sure. I'll call you later."

"Thanks for understanding." Elizabeth said picking Cam up. He really was getting too big to carry but Elizabeth hated admitting it. When she opened the door for Lucky Cam stuck his tongue out at the man.

Lucky glared at the boy. Cameron had been nothing but a pain since he started dating Elizabeth. Lucky thought she would be an easy lay, which was the only reason he agreed to see her. "Stop that."

"Lucky what are you talking about?" Elizabeth asked in confusion as Cam buried his face in her shoulder. She knew he was shy around men especially if he did not know them well.

"Your kid stuck his tongue out at me."

"Really Lucky he's five." Elizabeth said on a sigh. The guys she dated were worse the Cameron at times.

"That means he should have some manners." Lucky snapped back. 'How dare Elizabeth not believe him?'

"It's late and obviously you're tired..."

"I am not tired. Elizabeth I know what I saw."

"You should go."

"I can't believe this. That brat is the reason you're alone." Lucky said before storming off.

Elizabeth sighed closing the door. She didn't love Lucky but she thought he understood Cameron would always be first. Instead, he seemed almost jealous of the young boy. "Come on Cam time for bed."

Later than night Cameron wondered about what Sucky said. Maybe his mom was lonely. The last thing he wanted was for her to be unhappy. And if it meant finding her a guy, Cam knew, he was more than up for the challenge. He grabbed a piece of paper and began making a list.

First no more losers. And he has to like kids. And art. After all his mom was a painter. She should have someone who liked her paintings. Cam added several more things to the list and then put it in his secret hiding spot. He knew he was going to need help. Thankfully, he knew the perfect person for the mission.
