Enjoy! Warning... many twists and turns in the road ahead...
Lilian finally dared to open her eyes, seeing Flair, Batista, and Hunter looking at her with looks of shock on their faces. Almost simultaneously, their gazes flicked back to Randy before Hunter finally spoke up.
"Uh… what? I could have sworn I just heard you say that Lilian was your sister," the Game spoke up first.
"She is," Randy replied softly, patting Lilian's leg gently to assure her that everything was going to be fine.
"Since when?" Ric asked, looking skeptical.
"Since the day my mother and his father decided to have sex," Lilian finally spoke up. All four men looked at her, surprised. "What?" Lilian asked defensively.
"Lil, that was just a little blunt," Randy said with a slow chuckle, before looking at his teammates. "What my sister is trying to say, is her mother and my father had an affair and… ah, nine months later I was born."
"How is that possible?" Dave asked. "Lilian's Spanish…"
"My mother isn't," Lilian interrupted the Animal before he could continue pointing out the fact that Randy wasn't Spanish. "My dad was Spanish and Puerto Rican, and I look more like him than my mom. And I don't know why that even matters because it's really none of your business."
Dave glared at Lilian, opening his mouth to retort, but Randy cut him off. "Lil, relax," he instructed her softly. She glared at him, folding her arms uncomfortably as she moved her hard gaze to the members of Evolution.
"Her mom and my dad had an affair," Randy repeated. "When mom got pregnant, she didn't know whether the baby was her dad's or mine. And being the good Catholic she was, she didn't want to terminate the pregnancy…"
"Some good Catholic if she couldn't keep her legs shut," Hunter commented before he thought about what he said.
Before Randy could stop her, Lilian leaped up from the table and closed the distance between Hunter and herself within seconds. Without thinking, she brought her fist up and punched the World Champion as hard as she could.
Hunter's hand automatically came up to below his eye, a look of shock on his face. Lilian ignored the stinging pain in her hand as she brought herself to her full height. "You... you do NOT know my mother. So don't you EVER talk about her that way," she said lowly, her tone threatening as she jabbed a finger in his chest.
Silence rung about the room, no one knowing exactly what to do. Finally, Randy grabbed Lilian's arm and pulled her back, Hunter ducking his head for a moment before glancing at Ric and Dave to let them know it was okay.
Lilian felt tears rise to her eyes as she allowed Randy to pull her back. Not from the hurtful things Hunter said about her mother, but from the pain now coursing through her hand. Granted, his comments had hurt, and it was something that had stung when Lilian found out years later that her mother hadn't been faithful to her father…
"Can he continue now or will there be any other smart ass comments?" Lilian finally asked bitterly, angrily swiping at her eyes with the back of her hand.
No one said anything, and Randy cleared his throat before continuing, "When Mom gave birth, it was obvious that the baby wasn't Lil's father's. And they had a huge fight about it. Lilian's dad took her sister and Lilian away and left our mother. Mom went with my dad for a month or two, then Lilian's dad wanted to reconcile the marriage. There was only one catch… he didn't want me in the house."
Ric, Dave, and Hunter contemplated this for a few moments before Lilian couldn't help but speak up, "Got any smart ass comments about that?"
"Lilian," Randy whispered. "Chill. Please." He smiled at her before finishing, "Mom gave my dad sole custody. I never even knew that Lilian's mom was my mother as well until I joined the WWE and my dad recognized her name."
"I knew mom had had an affair," Lilian added tiredly. "But I never realized that my brother was Randy until Bob asked if my mother's name was Susie Garcia and, ah… it kinda came out."
Randy smiled softly at Lilian, patting her shoulder and looking at his Evolution teammates. "Now do you understand why I had to go out there tonight?" he asked.
"I… I guess so," Ric said slowly.
"Yeah," Hunter replied, glancing warily at the little blonde who had punched him moments before.
"I understand," Dave confirmed, shaking his head. "How come you never told us before?"
"Well… like Lilian said before, it's really no one's business. And we as a group have a lot of enemies and… I don't want her getting pulled in the middle of it," Randy answered.
The room was silent for a few moments, the wordless conversation broken when the trainer bustled back in the room, doing a double take when he saw Evolution in there with Lilian. "Look, guys, I don't want any trouble," the trainer said, backing up slightly.
"There is no trouble," Hunter said, holding his hands up, gesturing for Ric and Dave to follow him. "In fact, we were just leaving." He glanced at Randy, stating, "I assume you're staying?"
"I'm not going anywhere," Randy replied.
"Okay… but if we need you later tonight with this thing with Benoit…"
"I'll be there."
"Okay," the Game said, turning his gaze to Lilian. "Lilian," he said respectfully, nodding in her direction.
She nodded back, nearly wincing when she saw the bruise forming under his eye. Oh, well, he deserved it, she told herself as Evolution left the trainer's room.
"What did they want?" the trainer asked curiously, leaning in front of her and shining a light in Lilian's eyes.
"Nothing," Lilian replied. "How's it look?"
"Pupils are even, no sign of head trauma… you should be fine. Any dizziness or sudden headaches, and you go to the hospital. Comprende?" the trainer asked, smiling at Lilian.
"Si," Lilian replied with a small grin, sliding off the table.
She and Randy walked out of the trainer's room, Lilian stifling a yawn. "Man, I just want to go back to my hotel and sleep for a month," Lilian commented.
"You can, but I have some business to take care of first," Randy replied, causing Lilian to stop dead in her tracks.
"Randy… you aren't going to confront Kane, are you?"
"Don't worry about it, Lilian," Randy replied lowly.
"Randy-" she began, walking quickly to catch back up with him.
"Don't." His tone was hard, much less friendly than fifteen minutes ago. "Take care of yourself and be careful, please."
"Randy," she called nervously, but he ignored her as he made his way to the gorilla. Sighing, and running a hand across her forehead, she walked down the hall, finding one of the many monitors broadcasting Raw.
She watched as Randy stepped out from behind the curtain, his music alerting the crowd that the young superstar was making his way out. He was met with a mixture of cheers and boos, many remembering that he had saved Lilian from Kane… but many not willing to trust the brash man just yet.
Randy climbed in the ring, grabbing a microphone from the timekeeper Marc Yeaton before bringing his gaze to the monitor in front of him. "Kane… you bastard, bring your ass out here right now!" There was nothing, and he continued, "You son of a bitch! Get out here, now! Who the hell do you think you are to touch my sister?!"
Randy realized what he said when the crowd gasped, but he didn't have a chance to think about it when flames erupted, startling many of the fans as the Big Red Machine reentered the arena, smirking at the young man in the ring as he made his way down. Quickly, Kane climbed in the ring, Lilian's breath catching as he strode right over to Randy.
"You son of a bitch!" Randy repeated. "You do not touch my sister! Ever again!" He shoved Kane, and Lilian gasped as Kane reached out and grasped her little brother's throat.
Without thinking, Lilian took off down the hall, thinking to grab a steel chair.
Randy grasped Kane's hand, yanking down hard and kicking the monster in the knees. Kane let go, reaching down to grasp his kneecap. Randy took control of the temporary pain Kane was in, hitting him as hard as possible. Kane barely flinched, though, punching Randy as well, sending him reeling.
Lilian pushed past stagehands in the gorilla and ran down the ramp, sliding below the bottom rope as Kane's hand wrapped around Randy's throat again.
Without thinking, she swung the chair as hard as possible, feeling the metal shudder beneath her fingers as it connected with Kane's back. The monster let go of her brother, whirling around to stare at her angrily.
Lilian swallowed, backing up as Kane advanced. Randy grabbed Kane's arm, whirling him around and hitting him again before moving to stand in front of his sister.
"Lil, get out of here!" Randy yelled, panicked as Kane advanced on the pair, Randy trying to protect his sister from the monster...
Then, Randy Orton smiled at Kane.
Without looking back, he reached an arm back, locking his arm around Lilian's neck and dropping down, effectively laying the blonde ring announcer out with an RKO.
He stood, ignoring the jeers of the crowd as he stared down at Lilian's prone form as he looked up at Kane.
"She's all yours," Orton said with a savage grin, not even bothering to look at Lilian as he left the ring.
Kane grinned, and reached down to yank Lilian up by her hair.
I luff cliffhangers... and Hanna, does this satisfy you? -giggles-
