A/N: I only own the OC
I took a request for a Dexter Lumis story... so enjoy...
I looked out onto an empty arena and knew that in a few hours it would be filled with thousands of fans. I had done this so many times before, but this time felt different. I knew why... it was because I hadn't done this in over a year at this point. I had all the same jitters and butterflies I had the first time I had done this but now instead of will I be any good... I am asking myself will anyone remember me. I sighed as I heard footsteps behind me, and I turned to see Seth walking up to me.
"I heard you were back and figured you might be out here." he said and I smirked.
"Yeah, I'm back." I said with some enthusiasm, and he shook his head.
"You are going to do great." he said and I shrugged.
"Does your brother know you're here yet?" he asked me and I shook my head no.
"No, I will see him later." I said and he nodded. I was actually glad for Seth since he had become close to me and my family since he was in The Shield with my brother.
"Ah, the little blood line." a voice said as we started back towards the locker room and I looked over to see Sami. He hugged me. I was always glad to see Sami. We had gotten along in NXT. He was around when I was just coming the performance center. Sami always made things better because he was always so cheerful.
"Welcome back." he said before heading out towards the arena.
"Well, at least everyone here is happy to see you." Seth said and I rolled my eyes. I parted ways with Seth to go get ready since my segment was first. I made it to my dressing room and walked in to find Candice waiting on me. I immediately hugged her. She had become my best friend since we were in the indies together. I had seen her a few days ago when we all went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween, but still I was glad to see her.
"I am glad that you are finally back." she said as we pulled apart.
"Me too, and I'm more glad that you are here." I said as she sat down with me.
"You are going to do great, Isa." she said and I took a deep breath. I had gone out on injury, and I was almost scared to come back.
"Does Roman have any idea?" she asked me and I shook my head.
"Nope, he has no idea I'm back or in his story line." I told her and she laughed. She hung around while I got ready and hugged me before I went to hair and make up. I was glad to see that I didn't look like a whore when they got done. I was glad that they put my hair in braids like I had asked. I hated wrestling with my hair down. I got done, and was walking to gorilla position.
"Isa." a voice said and I turned to see Paul walking towards me. He had been really helpful in NXT and I was glad that he was over all of us now.
"You are going to do great." he said and I nodded as I took a deep breath.
"We all still get butterflies." he said and I chuckled as he patted me on the back.
"You got this." he said and I nodded as he nudged me towards gorilla position. I knew that right now Paul Haymen was out there explaining to Roman why they needed another person in the group. Jey, Jimmy, Solo, and Sami were all either agreeing or objecting... mostly objecting except for Sami who thought it would be a fun idea. Roman was just listening until he finally told Paul that unless it was family then he didn't want anyone. The crowd was going crazy because most people knew that Tamina or Nia were family. They didn't know that I was his sister, and truthfully I wasn't sure how... I looked just like the rest of the family except I got my mother's hair so instead of it being crazy... it was straight and not super thick.
"That's not a problem." Paul said and I could see the monitor where Roman was pursing his lips in annoyance. Roman waved his hand as to say just go, and that was my cue. My music hit and I walked out to cheers... not boos, but cheers. People did remember me. I walked all the way down the ring with my eyes locked on my family, and most of them looked as shocked at the fans. I got in the ring, took the mic from Paul, and walked right up to Roman.
"Am I family enough for you?" I asked him. I could see so bad that he wanted to smirk.
"Roman, we can't let her in." Sami said from behind Roman and we both looked at him.
"Why not?" Roman asked Sami, and I was applauding Sami because he was doing so well.
"Because she's a girl." he said with such enthusiasm that I wanted to laugh.
"So, she's also my sister." he said as he looked back at me.
"She can't be your sister! She's like 10 year younger than you." Sami protested as everyone cheer. I wanted to smirk becuase Sami was right... I was actually 10 years younger than Roman. I was Dad's second wife... the other white one as most of the family called her. They didn't dislike her, but they liked Roman and Rosey's mom better.
"Acknowledge me." he said as he turned to me.
"Brother, I have acknowledge you my whole life." I said and he hugged me. The crowd was going wild
"Ass, you could have told me you were here." he said to me when we hugged before we parted. The crowd was cheering, and they accepted me into the bloodline. We walked back stage and my cousins all immediately hugged me.
"You could have told us you were back." Jimmy said and I shrugged.
"My bad." I said and they all rolled their eyes at me.
"Dinner tonight." Roman told all of us and we all agreed. Jimmy and Jey were the oldest, but Roman has been bossing us all around for years now.
I was walking back through catering to grab some water when Candice ran up and hugged me. Johnny was right behind her and hugged me as well.
"Congrats on being back." she said and I chuckled.
"It's nice, and Roman is mad I didn't tell him." I said as they both shook their heads. I had been handing out with Candice and Johnny long before our WWE days. I met them when I first started in the indies at 17, and Candice even took me under her wing. They had become my other family. I was talking to them when a blonde guy walked up. He was very muscular, and had piercing blue eyes.
"Did you two meet?" Candice asked me referring to the guy who had just walked up.
"No." I said as I couldn't tear my eyes away from him. He was stunning and eerie at the same time.
"Sorry, Isa this is Dexter, Dexter this is Isa." she said as he stuck his hand out. I went to shake it, but instead he kissed the back of it before walking away. Johnny, Candice, and I all looked surprised.
"Does he always do that?" I asked Candice as Johnny followed Dexter.
"No..." Candice said before we headed back to my locker room. I hung out with her until it was time for us all to leave. I was meeting Roman out in the parking lot, and as I walked out there I felt someone watching me. I got to my car, and looked around to see Dexter watching me while he put stuff in his car. I had no idea what to do so I gave a small wave. He turned and got into his car... now I felt dumb.
"Don't waste your time on that one." Roman said as he walked up and I looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"He's weird." he said and I rolled my eyes at that lack of description.
"That's really helpful." I said and he chuckled.
"Isa, you just got back on the road... have some fun. Shithead isn't here anymore so just enjoy it this time." he said and I couldn't help but laugh at his nickname for his former shield member, and my ex-boyfriend, Dean.
"Yeah..." I said before Roman got in the car with me, and we left to meet everyone else. I just couldn't get those piercing blue eyes out of my thoughts.
