Viper's Aren't So Bad
Monday Night Raw
Randy walked around the in the backstage arena over-thinking about his fate. Now that he was a face he didn't have many friends and many of the face wouldn't get near him still. They were wary of him. Not sure if he was to be trusted. Not the he minded the solitude a loner he was and he shall be.
He did like the solitude it was something that didn't bother him at all. It gave him freedom in a way. As he walked he bumped into a conversation that was not meant for him to hear.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" the girl said and Randy only got a view of a butterfly tattoo on the upper back for the spaghetti shirt made it bare. He didn't know of many Divas with that mark.
"Look Mara calm down." Miz said.
"Calm down you are cheating on me with Maryse of all people. But that is the last time I let this pass it's over Miz don't talk to me at all and pretend I don't exist." She said and Randy moved out of the way.
Yeah, he remembered Mara she had been dating the Miz for a while and they tended to have an off-and-on relationship. Randy hated the Miz for that. He had to admit that Mara caught his attention for quite a while but he never acted upon it. With him only focused on the WWE Championship he didn't have much of dating in mind.
"Come on Mara you don't want to do this. You know I love you." The Miz said.
"You heard me Mike. Never again." She said and The Miz tried to get her arm but Randy grabbed it before he could reach Mara.
"I believe the lady told you to forget she ever existed." Randy said. The Miz looked at him with a glared and walked the other way. He turned around to see Mara glaring at him.
"What do you want Orton?" she asked. Randy just raised his hands in surrender.
"Hey, I was just trying to help." He said.
"I don't need your help." She said and walked away from him. Randy shook his head. How was he to prove that he was doing good, when people kept kicking at him? He left to his locker room so he could think for a while.

Mara walked the backstage area with an angry feature on her face. She felt like throwing thing's destroying property. Most likely shove Maryse's face into the mat. But she couldn't get over her anger. But at the same time she was kicking herself. Who in the world was she kidding dating The Miz?
She would have continued her inner rant but she collided with someone's chest. She was about to give him a piece of her mind but she as her head went up she saw the easy smile of the Chain-Gang Soldier.
"Hey, there Mara what's wrong?" John asked genuinely concerned. He and Mara had been friends for quite some time and he didn't like seeing her like that.
"I broke up with Miki." She told him.
"What did he do?" John asked ready to pummel The Miz into the ground if he had hurt Mara the wrong way.
"He cheated on me with Maryse; this time is for good I don't want him anywhere near me." Mara told him.
"Did he do something to you?" John asked. Mara raised her eyes to the ceiling.
"He was trying to stop me but Randy stopped him." she said and John looked at her.
"You are talking about Randy Orton the man the punted my Father, right." John said.
"Yes, he stopped the Miz from getting anywhere close to me and Mike ran away." Mara said. "I didn't tell him thank-you so it might have been mean on my part." She admitted. John just looked at her.
"Okay, make sure to be careful." John told her.
"You do know his good right." Mara said.
"None of us are sure, not even CM Punk I don't want you to do something you will probably regret." John said.
"Fine." Mara replied.

"Ladies and Gentleman welcome to another exciting episode of Monday Night Raw." Cole said. "We have some great matches for you guys tonight, isn't that right King?"
"That's right Cole; John Cena will be facing none other than Daniel Bryan tonight for our main event that is going to be a fun match." King said.
"Why do you say that King, Daniel Bryan can win this match?" Cole said and King rolled his eyes.
"Keep telling yourself that Cole." King said.
Daniel Bryan came out to the boos of the arena. He stood in the ring and then came out John to the explosive cheers of the crowd. They had a stare down. Once the bell rang they went at it. Daniel was trying to get out of the holds and hits from John. But John was a bit quick.
The went on like this until a certain music came out and that was of The Miz. The Miz came out and without caring attacked John Cena with everything he could. Causing the referee to end the match in disqualification.
"Oh come on someone come help our Champion." King said.
He was answered but he was surprised to exactly who answered the call. Randy came running and help John clear the two man trying to take him down. John and Randy looked at each other before they looked at the ramp as both The Miz and Daniel Bryan left backstage.

Hotel Room
Later that night Randy couldn't sleep so he walked to the hotel lobby and then came from getting something to eat and drink. He didn't expect to see the woman standing near his door.
"Can I help you?" he asked.
Mara turned to look at him. She didn't really know what she was doing in Orton's room but had to get it out there. Ask him, what every wrestler wanted to know.
"I need to talk to you." She said. Randy raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Well come in then." He said opening his room door.
They walked inside and Mara sat on the sofa the room provided. Randy put his food on the table and looked at her as he sat down.
"What's the problem?" he asked.
"What is your deal?" she asked. "Why did you help John everyone knows you two don't get long after, what you did to his father?"
Randy rolled his eyes. "You know, you could be at-least a bit thankful after saving you're from Mike and I'm the bad guy here." He snapped. Mara was surprised.
"Thank-you." She said. "Look I'm sorry I've been like this but you have to understand you didn't get any of your nicknames just by standing around I have to worry."
"Look Mara I understand and I'm not planning anything against you precious John Cena or CM Punk." He said with a hint of resentment in his voice.
"Randy we may have started on the wrong foot." Mara said.
"You think." He said smirking and Mara rolled her eyes.
"Would you care to start over?" she asked. Randy thought it for a moment.
"Fine." He said. They shook hands and smiled.
"Sorry I interrupted your lunch so I'll be leaving now enjoy your food." Mara said.
"I couldn't sleep would you care to share some of this food with me?" he asked.
"Sure."
They sat down and ate talking about everything and anything finds out that they had things in common.

Monday Night Raw
Two weeks had passed and something that most of the wrestlers realize was that Mara and Randy had been getting closer over the two weeks not in the romantic route which made John and CM Punk worried. So they decided on an intervention. But mainly they didn't want the relationship to become romantic.
So as Mara got ready for her match against Maryse and The Miz vs. Randy and herself she found someone knocking at her door. She finished tying her boots and walked over to the door. Mara was surprised to see both John and CM Punk standing there with frowns on their faces.
"We're coming in." CM Punk said and Mara opened the door. She knew not to argue with them once they got like that.
"Okay, what I do?" she asked.
"What did you do, Mara you do realize you have been hanging out with the Viper right?" CM Punk said.
"Not only that but you have a match tonight and instead of asking us you asked Orton to be your partner." John said. Mara sighs.
"Look guys I'm doing what everyone else refuses to do." She said.
"And that is?" John asked.
"A chance, all Randy wants is a chance for someone to trust him. I trust him he hasn't given me a reason not to." She told them.
"Mara look we've been your friends for a long time, we don't want Randy to hurt you." John said.
"If he hurts me the only thing he would do is either RKO or punts my head." Mara said.
'That is not what we're talking about.' Both Punk and John thought.
"We are not going to win this are we?" John asked.
"Trust me guys if he hurts me you will be the first to know." She said. CM Punk grabbed her shoulder.
"Good, now good luck in your match." John said.

As John and Punk got out of the locker room they weren't very happy.
"I still don't like this John." Punk said.
"I don't either but we can't go and threatened Orton because if Mara finds out she will have our heads." John said.
"You do know they might end up together." Punk said.
"Dude, I still get shivers thinking of that." John said and they left to get ready for their own matches for the night.

Match
"Welcome Ladies and Gentleman to our next match of the night and can you believe it King." Cole said. "The Miz and Maryse will be fighting none other than Mara and Randy Orton."
"I know, Cole I heard rumors in the back that these four don't get along at all." King said.
"I wonder, why that is?" Cole said.
All four opponents saw each other in the ring and the first to start the match were Maryse and Mara. They grapple each other and Maryse tried to be brutal but Mara threw her into the ring Mara post Monkey flipping her off it. Mara tried to get to the top but the MIZ went to where she was and caused her to drop. Randy got in and took the Miz out leaving the girls knocked out for a bit.
Mara was the first to get up and just as The Miz and Randy got back to their post Mara ran to it and tagged Randy in.
With Randy inside he waited until Maryse tagged The Miz in.
They began to face each other off and with Maryse trying to get into the match. It was something that Mara would not allow. She went in and threw Maryse off the mat. On top Randy and the Miz were going at it still. Randy was getting quite tired so when the Miz didn't pay attention and he was sure Mara had Maryse under control he hit the Miz with the RKO.
"It came out nowhere." King said. Randy went for the pin.
1…2…3… Randy and Mara won. Mara smiled and got into the ring to receive a hug from Randy and she felt happy for it.

Later that Night
"That was a great match Randy." Mara said as they walked out of the backstage area to their hotel room.
"Yeah, hey do you want to go to dinner tonight." Randy said. "As a celebration for winning our match?" he felt like he needed to add. Mara looked at him flipping her shoulder length hair to the side.
"Alright." She replied and he smiled. They loaded their things to the back of his car but before they could go anywhere two people they hadn't expected show up.
"Mara." CM Punk said. Randy turned to see John and CM Punk standing.
"Yeah." Mara replied.
"Where you guys going?" John asked casually.
"We're going to eat some dinner to celebrate our win,, do you guys want to come?" she asked. Both CM Punk and John turned to see any reaction on Randy's face. John saw an irritated look pass on Randy's eyes.
"We would love to if it isn't a bother." John replied. Mara turned to Randy and smile.
"It won't be, right?" She said.
"Of course not." Randy replied even though inside he really wanted to smack both Punk and Cena for coming. He wanted to spent time alone with Mara not have to share her attention with those two.
CM Punk and John shared a conspirational smirks that got Randy glaring because he knew that they knew exactly, what he was planning and they weren't going to let him do anything until they were satisfied that he wasn't going to hurt Mara. But it was alright with him, he could play their game real well.
The ride to the diner was rather amusing would be a good word. John and CM Punk were so trying so effortless to not have Mara or Randy together which ended up with Mara sitting in the back with CM Punk and John sitting next to Randy. Mara to their surprise began to fall asleep into a small nap. Randy saw through the mirror and smile. But his expression turned cold when he saw John and Punk looking at him.
"Don't you both think this is going too far?" he asked.
"What is going too far, Orton?" Punk asked.
"Don't play stupid." Randy hissed. "I know you came just because you want to keep an eye on me."
"Really?" John raised a brow.
"Yes, really don't you think Mara is too old for chaperones?" Randy said.
"Not when it comes to you." Punk said honestly.
"Having two chaperones won't stop me from chasing her." he warned.
"It won't stop us from trying to stop your advances." John said.
"So we have come to an understanding." Punk said. "If you're serious about this, you hurt her and we hurt you."
"Good." Randy said. As they arrived to a small diner Punk shook Mara awake.
Dinner to say the least was very calming. They spent their time talking about the business and other things. To the surprise of John and Punk they couldn't believe they were actually having fun with Randy. Randy at the same times was thinking the same thing it had been a while since he had this much fun.
When they arrived in the hotel room John and Punk said their byes and left to their rooms. Mara was tired and as she walked into the elevator she was really aware that Randy was next to her.
She didn't want to admit and no matter how much she kept denying it to John and Phil she had feelings for Randy. Feelings that she didn't even had for Mike and that scared the hell out of her. Because she didn't know if he felt the same.
"So, here's our floor." she said and walked out first Randy followed her to her room and unknowing both of their thoughts were on each other.
Mara turned to look at Randy and smiled.
"Thanks for walking me." she said and as she tried to opened the door someone spun her and pushed her against the door kissing her brainless. It took a few seconds to realize it was Randy and she returned the kiss with so much emotion that it even surprised her.
Randy smirked in the kissed and at the same time felt relieve that she felt the same way. Once he stopped he looked into her black eyes.
"You do realize people are going to talk, right." Mara said.
"I'll punt them if they annoy me." she chuckle and they went back to kissing.

Three Months Later
Everyone tended to gossip backstage it was a fact. So over the three months all anyone could talk about was the relationship that Randy Orton and Mara were having. No one knew what they how the heck that happened they just knew it did.
Most of the girls and guys were jealous but if they tried to do anything they knew Randy wouldn't hesitate to punt them or RKO them after the first two weeks that Alex Riley tried to get really close to Mara and at the time people hadn't know they were dating.
John and Punk at first weren't as happy. But at the same time they could see the changes on Randy, how he would smile or smirk more and the happiness that seemed to make Mara shine.
But of course not everyone was happy about this and he was planning on doing something that would probably end him. The Miz didn't care though.
Mara was his. Sure he cheated but that didn't matter.

Mara and Randy walked backstage with holding their hands smiling a bit.
"Are you ready for your match with CM Punk and John?" Mara asked.
"You've asked me that since we got out of the hotel room, Mara." Randy said.
"I know I'm still worried." Mara admitted and Randy smiled spinning her into a deep kiss that caused someone the Divas seeing to 'aww'.
"Stop worrying, we have to face Kane, Big Show and Drew what is the worst that can happen?" he asked her. Mara gave him a look.
"Okay, plus I'll see your match from our locker room." she said. Randy smiled he had to admit he had been the happiest man in a long time.
They got inside their share locker room and Randy grabbed her tight in his arms. He bent down to peck her lips once more.
"I love you." He whispered and Mara smiled. It had been weeks since he told her those words and every time they made her even happier.
"I love you too, Randy." She said and Randy bent down to capture her lips once more.

Later that night
The match had been won and as Randy, John and Punk were celebrating the screen lit up.
"Hi, Randy." All three of them turned to see The Miz holding an unconscious Mara on his arms. "Isn't she pretty, come I make you a deal on Sunday's Pay-Per-View you and me in a ladder match, you win you get her back. I win I get her contract and you won't be able to see her until her career is over." The video went off.
All three of them look at each other and went backstage. They've asked everyone but no one had seen the Miz and it didn't take long for Randy to agree to that match.

Money in the Bank
The arena was set and everyone was looking at the woman sitting right there next to Cole and King. Mara was tied to a chair with a gag around her mouth. She was pissed as the Miz would look at her.
"Can't we help her King?" Cole asked.
"If we get involved the Miz wins by default, Orton has to win this the old fashion way by getting that brief case." King said not happy with the situation either.
Randy came out and he was pissed. He saw Mara tied in the chair and she tried to smile for him but Randy was going to kill the Miz or probably beat him up to a pulp.
The bell rang and Randy went at the Miz with such ferocity that even it made the announcers flinch. It was when they got to the ladders that caused them to be much more brutal.
The Miz hit Randy with one of the ladders causing Randy to fall. Mara was jumping on her seat trying to get Randy to get up and continue to fight.
Randy saw that the Miz tried to climb up the ladder and he rammed into the ladder and made it fall. Causing the Miz to fall outside the ring.
Randy climbed down the ring and even with his face bleeding them same with the Miz he began to take the announcers table apart. Randy raised the Miz into the table. Just as the Miz was getting up he tried to grab Randy but he moved to fast and RKO him into the table causing it to break.
Randy breathed in and got up climbing slowly into the mat getting the ladder and started to climb it. Step by step and everyone's breath was at their throats. The Miz began to get up and saw that Randy was getting close. He tried to run to the mat but his body wouldn't hold him to well.
Randy grabbed the briefcase and the arena seemed to scream too loud. He climbed down and walked over to Mara smiling a bit and began to untie her. Mara didn't care that he was filled with some blood once she was released she jumped into his embrace and kissed him, which he returned. The crowd seemed to scream more but they couldn't hear it.

Later that night, after hearing that, the Miz would be out of action for a few months after the match. He was also suspended for holding her hostage for a week.
Mara looked out the balcony of hers and Randy's bedroom. She felt strong arms wrap around her.
"Thanks for the safe." she told him.
"Anytime this isn't the first time I saved you." He told her and chuckle. "I love you." He said.
"I love you too, Randy." She chuckle herself. She could totally see them going somewhere.
