Chapter Ten: You Are Not Alone
A/N: The SHIELD is dealing with the news of the triple threat match and constantly looking over their shoulders. They just want to take day and forget about all their troubles. Luckily for them, they will have backup. If it starts getting random-ish towards the end, I'm sorry. I'm in the middle of Adv. Biology right now.

Disclaim: I will never own WWE or anything affiliated with the company until I become a diva sometime soon there. I own no shows or wrestlers.
Needless to say, the boys needed a few days to relax and wrap their heads around everything that had happened the last two weeks. Seth had returned and come back to them, the Royal Rumble had happened and… yeah, that, and Dean and Roman had been thrown into a PPV match with Brock Lesnar for title contendership. Luckily, Jimmy and Jey had anticipated this and had a party planned after Smackdown! that night. They'd mentioned it to Seth while they were with him backstage on RAW. Some beer, movies, music, more of a guys night than anything. He agreed that it'd be good to let loose a bit and have some fun, so the Usos had left and booked a place without another word. That place turned out to be a club, with strippers, a bar, and a dancefloor (complete with a DJ booth). The boys were beyond confused.
"Well," Jimmy began, "the guy said that it would be empty, so I thought I'd book it for a party for you guys. When was the last time y'all could be seen having fun and hangin' with each other in public? I'm doin' you a favor, Uce." Seth gave him a disbelieving stare.
"You said party or a guys night. Beer, movies, hangin' out, not a lot of people. Now you go and book a club of all places?!" the Armenian asked him. Roman wasn't so sure about it either, seeing as how he wasn't so comfortable being at a club with girls begging to get into his pants. Dean, however, seemed perfectly okay with this.
"Oh lighten up you two. They've got a point, ya know. We haven't been out in public as just us in years. It's just one night, just one. And it's our party, so we can do whatever we damn well please," Dean told his brothers, siding with the twins. Roman sighed and Seth pinched the bridge of his nose in an attempt to calm down. No dice.
"Grrr, fine. But I swear, if I have to drive you two back to the hotel one more time, I will superman punch you both into next month. Can I not be the sober one for once?" Roman griped. Dean chuckled and looked to Seth, who immediately started pouting.
"What?! No, it's not fair! Why can't I get wasted? I mean, Roman does have a point, but I have rights too!"
"I might be able to drink more alcohol than the both of you combined, but that doesn't mean I'm givin' up drinking tonight to drive your sorry asses back. I wanna have fun too," Dean declared. He had fully intended to stay true to his word. That was before Seth pulled his puppy dog eyes. Those adorable, caring, sadness filled chocolate brown eyes were enough to get the two older brothers to do whatever he wanted them to. Dean could never resist them, so when he turned and ended up looking into them, he growled and tried to look away. 'Nope. No, not gonna happen. You can't make me Seth, you can't make me. I won't fall for it.' Some invisible force drew his eyes back to Seth's though, and he caved. "*growls* Dammit, Seth! Alright, I'll try not to drink too much…" he grumbled. Roman was supposed to be the responsible one, but lately it had to be him. Sometimes, he wished they could go back to the way things were before all this happened. But if that meant not getting Seth back, he'd gladly keep the past the way it is.
"Who all's coming?" questioned Roman, pulling Dean back to reality. Seth gave him a worried look, but the Ohioan just took his hand and gave him a reassuring smile.
"Us, you guys, some divas, the guys on your side against the Authority, them strippers. It won't be too packed. Party starts after dark," Jey replied.
"Thank you guys for this," Seth said, "We really need this." They all said their goodbyes and headed back to the hotel. Roman planned on relaxing or maybe doing a light workout in the gym. Seth intended to join him, but Dean had other plans. As Roman was leaving for the gym, Dean pulled Seth aside at the door into a heart melting kiss. He had Seth moaning before the two-toned brother could pull away. Roman seemed oblivious to them, not having noticed Seth's absence.
"Can we not be apart for one hour? You know I love you, but I just want to work out for a little bit and get my mind off things," Seth told him.
"I know something else that'll get your mind off things," Dean said in a low, rough voice that made Seth's knees weak, "After all, you don't wanna be all sore and tired after being at the gym, do you?" Trying, and failing successfully to say a coherent response, Seth ended making a noise halfway between a moan and a "No". It didn't help that Dean was slowly grinding against him like some horny teenager. "And I'm not horny, I just wanna show my boyfriend a good time." Well, damn. The younger brother couldn't really argue with that.

A few hours later at the club…
The Usos were the biggest liars in WWE. It wouldn't be packed, there weren't that many people coming. 'Not that many people my ass,' Dean thought as bodies just kept entering the club. NXT rookies, divas, most of the main roster, and themselves were packed into the club. R-Truth was fighting Becky Lynch for the DJ booth (and losing miserably), Jimmy had gotten strippers (for the poor guys like the Social Outcasts or the hot guys that were single), and Dean decided, since he was supposed to stay sober, that he would trade shifts at the bar with Alicia Fox (who kept staring at him through the corner of her eyes). Everyone danced, drank, had an overall good time. When Dean switched with Alicia, he downed half a bottle of whiskey in one go and went to find his brothers. They were dancing on center stage by a few girls (definitely not divas, and if Dean was straight and single, he'd hit on one of them) and looked like they were having a blast. They'd managed to loosen up as the night was ending. Roman gave the girls a look if they got too close and Seth gently pushed them away. One bold girl in particular slid beside him, up close and personal.
"I'm Jennifer," she said. She was a blonde w/ green eyes, 5'9 or 5'10, skinny, and in a skin tight crop top and skirt. She put her hands on his shoulders, swaying with the music. Dean felt jealousy burning within and tried to keep from marching over there and strangling the girl. Seth, who was angry on the inside as well, tried his best to be nice. Stay in character, be the level-headed brother.
"Look, Jennifer, you're hot. Really, you are, but I'm taken." He was doing his best to stay calm and removed her hands gently from his shoulders. She gave him that "Really?" look and put her arms around his neck. That's when he and Dean started to get pissed. "Hey, did you hear me? I'm not single, get your hands off!" She did and left, but another girl who looked just like her, with brown hair and hazel eyes, quickly took her place. He was losing his patience and now more girls were surrounding him, all eager, pretty, and not looking to take no for an answer. Roman seemed to be having the same problem, though one flash of his wedding ring had the girls scurrying. He tried to help Seth, but the girls were either ignoring him or didn't care. Dean had had enough and marched over there with a vengeance. Roman and Seth were wearing what they usually wore in public: Seth had on his skinny jeans and Glamour Killz shirt, Roman had on his dark jeans and Roman Empire shirt. Dean was wearing his ripped jeans, black combat boots, and his signature leather jacket. The only difference was that he was shirtless under his leather jacket and the whole club could see (that and his abs and muscles).
"You wanna tell me why you're messin' with my boyfriend?" he demanded. The girls threw scandalized looks at him and Seth as they left in search of other wrestlers. "You're lucky you're all hot," he heard them say annoyed as they left. Dean turned and pulled Seth in for a long kiss. That's when people started staring. They were drunk, right? They weren't actually… It's like the music just stopped as everyone started murmuring about them. When the two stopped and looked around, everyone was silent, waiting for an "April Fools!" or some other explanation. Dean, somehow managed to find a microphone on the stage, and began talking.
"Well, as you all just saw, me and Sethie boy here are together. No, we're not drunk... Well, a little, and no, we're not gay. We're bi and we're being serious. We didn't tell you because you're acting just like we thought you would. Now that that's out there, are you gonna keep staring or…?"
This is when Xavier and Big E stepped up. (Xavier) "Dude, it's okay. We're together too. Ain't nobody judgin' you." Sin Cara and Kalisto came up next, (Kalisto) "Sin Cara and I have been seeing each other for a few months now, and we're together. There's no shame in that." The others voiced their approval as well, prompting Seth to tell Dean, "Told ya so. They took it good." Dean sighed and continued.
"Shout out to Jimmy and Jey for gettin' this together for us, but let's get down to business." *hands the microphone to Roman*
"As you all know, the Authority is out to get us and we're outnumbered. There are some people on the roster against us, and then there are you guys. We need to know if we can call on you when we need you. We also might need ears on the inside-"
"We call double agents!" piped up Kofi, joining his buddies in front of the stage.
"Heh, okay. The New Day gets to play double agents. Anyone else?" Tamina, Alicia Fox, Naomi, and the Social Outcasts raised their hands. "Our plan, is to secure all the major titles because, as you know, champions have a bigger pull when it comes to storylines and stuff up top. We plan on overthrowing the Authority and keeping any corrupt sons of bitches from trying to run the company. As for who takes their place, that is a secret we'll reveal when the plan succeeds," Roman said.
"What happens with the titles when they're gone?" asked one AJ Styles, " 'Cuz I want a piece of that title, Dean."
"Bring it on, pretty boy. I'll be waiting for ya when we throw them out," Dean sneered. AJ laughed, showing just a bit of overconfidence. "You may be known across the world, but don't push your luck. We'll put the titles up for grabs, we won't hog 'em."
Sin Cara stepped up again. "You'll have our support on Monday if you need us." Others voiced the same opinion. No one but Seth noticed Charlotte and Sasha Banks slipping out the door, having recorded the whole thing, ready to report back to the Authority. After the next few minutes of strategizing were over (Seth having done most of the work) , he checked the club and looked across the streets and downtown. He couldn't find a trace of the girls. 'Shit,' he thought. They had traitors on their hands.
