A/N: Thank you for the awesome response to the first chapter! Here is the next one.

I want to point out a little detail. It is important for later. You will notice that Dean is more of a little shit than usual. Yes, that is possible. Just watch it through out the story. ;)

Chapter 2

Lilly and Claire stood side by side watching their men spar. They were on the mat right now and tried different wrestling moves on each other, taunting each other at the same time.

"I swear Dean ever since you met Lilly you gained like 10 pounds." Seth grunted as he tried to lift Dean up. "She introduced me to second servings." Dean shot his girlfriend a short grin.

"But what you complain about are muscles from the regular sex I got introduced to as well."

Lilly rolled her eyes and Claire chuckled.

6 month ago an old nemesis of Seth had kidnapped and raped Claire to get back at Seth. For a while Claire was certain that she wasn't good enough for Seth now. But he proposed to her after the final battle and three times after that. Each time she told him it was shitty timing and he should keep trying. Truth was, she wasn't ready yet.

She had to deal with her feeling of insecurity after the rape. Dean had advised her to see a psychotherapist and it helped. He had also told her that she should take something positive out of it, make herself stronger. And she did. With Seth' help as well as the rest of Shield Inc. men they had built this gym out of a two story warehouse that Dean used to own as one of his hide outs, and nearly every day in the week there were self-defense classes for women, children and elderly people. All of the Shield guys helped with these classes but Seth was usually one of the most active guys. Bryan and Brie Danielson worked here as full time trainers and Bryan was thankful that he and his wife were out of active duty for Shield Inc. After all there was a baby on the way for them.

This school was called: Dani's Shield, in remembrance of Danielle Bishop, Roman's Ex, and the mother of his son, who got killed in the crossfire when the men fought against Rusev.

Claire had learned a lot in these past four month and she felt safe again. Sure, attacks could happen still, but she had confidence in herself now and she looked forward to Seth' next proposal. Because she planned to say yes this time.

Dean just planted Seth into the mat while holding his head with his arm and kicking his feet out from under him. Seth slammed face first into the mat and stopped moving.

"Who wins?" Dean asked and Seth grunted "Never you."

"Well it is your lucky day that my girl needs to warm up for class. This isn't over!"

Dean got up and called over his shoulder "By the way, I call that move Dirty Deeds."

"Oh yeah? When I kick your crazy head next time into the ground I will call it a Curb Stomp!"

"And when I split you both in half I will not call it a tackle but a spear. Because I will spear your always bickering asses into next year."

Roman stood between his friends and they grinned stupidly. Seth still on the ground, Dean with his arm around Lilly.

"Hey Roman." Claire walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you for filling in tonight."

"Sure, no problem. Give me ten and we can start."

Claire gathered her class and used the time after warm up to talk to them about recent experiences and stuff. Seth was at her side while Roman warmed up. Dean and Lilly as well as some other Shield employees or advanced students were trying moves on the other side of the gym.

Roman walked up to Seth and asked him quietly. "Didn't Dean say they would warm up?"

Right now he had Lilly pinned underneath him and the couple was into an intense lip lock.

"He wasn't specific about what kind of warm up he would do." Louder he called: "Hey Ambrose. It is your turn to play the victim...I mean the attacker." Dean flipped him off. The attacker had to wear uncomfortable protective gear and everyone rather taught the moves than being on the receiving end of them. But Dean got up and Lilly helped him put the gear on.

After Dean was finished the women of this evening course were allowed to practice their moves on him under the watchful eyes of Seth and Roman. Lilly sat on the sidelines, she was one of the advanced students by now thanks to Dean's private lessons. Claire gave pointers as well and the hour passed quickly.

By 7.30 pm the gym cleared and left were the three founders of Shield Inc. along with Claire and Lilly.

"Josh missed school...again." Roman told his friends, mainly to get their input on this.

"You should kick his ass." Seth told Roman and the Samoan rolled his eyes. He would never lay hand on his son like that.

"He is at that age where you miss some school. Plus given the events of the past year the boy deserves some slack." Dean defended him.

"I get both your points, but there is something else. I hesitated for the longest time to screen his computer but I feel he is hiding something from me..." Dean snickered like a little school boy and Roman shot him a look and Lilly slapped the back of his head. "And no its not porn." Roman pointed out and Dean rubbed his head and gave Lilly a dirty look.

About a year ago everyone around would have been at least a little worried if Dean would have shot them that look. But ever since Lilly stepped into his life, or rather was forced due to circumstances like crooked cops and a murder, he was more levelled. The former wildcard of the team with suicidal tendencies was now a valuable member of the Shield and the love between the man with the cold blue eyes and the unruly dirty blonde hair and the woman with the sapphire eyes and blonde hair was visible to everyone. And when Lilly received his dirty look she just patted his arm playfully and ruffled his hair even more and Dean couldn't help but smile and lean into her touch pulling her close.

"What else could it be?" Claire asked and leaned into Seth.

"He is good with a computer. I hope he only hacks his school website but I am not sure. He knows I work on some highly secure stuff right now. If he would get his hands on that..."

"But you protect your computer right? He can't be good enough to break through your protections." Lilly looked at Roman.

"When someone is determined enough...and thinks like me..."

Roman sighed. "I hate to break his trust like that but I need to know. Damn."

He grabbed his gym bag and closed his jacket over his massive chest.

"You protect your work. He needs to know it's off limits." Seth pointed out. "Yeah well explain that to a 16 year old who thinks his father sucks and is after him anyways."

Claire stepped into Romans way. "He loves you. We all deal with this loss differently. For him a whole world collapsed and changed. He is trying to find his ground again. Tries to find out who he is. Don't give up on him Roman." She touched his arm and Roman nodded.

"I won't. I promised his mother that he would turn out to be a great man."

Roman smiled sadly and left the gym, heading into war. With his own son.
