"No... no..." Dean didn't know whether to cry or scream. "You killed him."
"Are you deaf perhaps?" Road Dogg said. "We just told you that Roman killed all these men you see here. That's just one more on his kill list."
Roman walked over to Dean who was in shock and couldn't move. The Samoan crouched down and soon they were close, very close.
Roman smiled at him and put one of his hands on Dean's face. The auburn-haired man was wide eyed, he didn't know how to react.
And for a moment the chocolate eyes looked at him as before, as if his Roman might still be there. The huge hand gently caressed Dean's face and the auburn haired man was mesmerized.
Roman then smiled and brought his hand to Dean's neck. He grabbed him quickly and violently by the neck, and like the security guard, he threw him against the same wall.
Roman stood up and walked over to the rest of the Rollins Industries security team. Several of them pointed their guns, but behind Roman, the D-X did the same.
A tragedy was going to happen.
"Just stop!" Seth screamed. "Don't shoot! If you want money I can give it to you, just let the survivors go."
Elias and Finn ran over to where Dean was. The ex-thief couldn't believe Roman had done all of this. Finn looked at Dean that he was trying to breathe.
But it didn't take Dean long to recover. Everyone present watched in amazement as Dean was on his feet again, after receiving an attack that killed another man.
"How is it possible?" Roadd Dog was amazed.
"Nice try." Dean smiled. "You need more than that to kill me."
"You're one of the Hounds of Justice..." Elias said understanding why Finn said that Dean was Roman's boyfriend. "So the other one is..."
"Seth Rollins". Hunter deduced.
And before the D-X could react, Dean and Seth attacked them. Preventing them from firing their weapons.
This gave the people within the room time to escape, or at least attemp to. Everyone except Finn and Elias who continued to watch everything in awe.
"Get out of here!" Seth yelled at Finn and Elias. "Both of you are just a burden to us, right now."
They both nodded and tried to get out with the few remaining men to evacuate. But before they could get it, Roman went straight to them.
And for the first time, Elias was afraid of his best friend. Roman had killed more than 20 gunmen.
"Roman, it's me... Elias." The former thief tried to reason with the Samoan. "I'm your friend, once you saved me. Deep down you're still the honorable and kind man who gave me another chance. Come on Roman."
Roman looked at him with wide eyes and finally said a word. "Elias..."
Roman walked away, giving way for Elias to reach the door. The Samoan leaned against the main pillar of the room.
The former thief walked as fast as he could. "I knew that inside, you were still the honest man who gave me another chance."
Finn instead remained static, and a little away from them. The reporter looked at everything carefully. Then, he realized what Roman was planning. "Elias no!"
Roman wickedly grinned, he hit the column that supported the concrete ceiling that collapsed crushing all the people near that part of the room.
Dean and Seth had almost every D-X arrested. Seth smiled, he was finally close to getting his hands on Triple H. Now everyone would know that he and Dean were the Hounds of Justice, but it didn't matter if he finally got his revenge.
However, when a part of the roof fell. Seth had to react quickly and could barely get to Finn, preventing the reporter from being crushed by the concrete ceiling.
Dean did the same, trying to get closer to Elias but he was further away.
The D-X took the opportunity to escape. Roman emerged from the rubble, receiving orders from his intercom to leave the place next to the D-X.
Roman left in a hurry and Dean couldn't follow him because he was trying to pull Elias out of the rubble.
Finn thought it would be the end of him, but that's when he realized that Seth had used his body as a shield. Taking the impact and saving his life.
Seth cleared away the debris and grabbed Finn's arm violently.
"You almost got killed! You must get away from here and you must get away from me!" Seth told him angrily.
Finn realized that Seth was bleeding, the impact had hurt him.
"Seth". And he for the first time he called the other man by his name. "Seth, you need medical attention."
"I don't need help of any kind. Much less from you. But your friend sure does." Seth pointed at Elias.
Dean pulled Elias out of the rubble. The former thief was unconscious and bleeding from multiple injuries. He had received the impact directly.
Finn was speechless, this was so horrible. The reporter rushed to help Elias, and he and Dean rushed him to the hospital as quickly as they could.
"Now the whole city must know that we are the Hounds of Justice." Seth whispered.
Dean and Seth were at the mansion. Dean had left Elias at the hospital and Finn had to stay with the ex-thief. Dean knew the news that they were the Hounds of Justice was going to spread and the last thing he wanted was to be hunted by the press. So he and Seth took refuge in the mansion.
Seth turned on the television. He was hoping to see news about him and Dean and who they watched was Roman.
"Mayor Kane has declared Roman Reigns, current MMA League champion, public enemy number one." Said the news anchor. "Roman Reigns is now associated with the D-X and is accused of killing 26 people at Rollins Industries."
Dean threw a vase against the TV screen.
"You are too unstable, you need to focus, Dean." Seth touched his temple. He had a monstrous headache. "Now we have an even more serious problem, we must stop-"
"Don't even say it! Roman is not an enemy we should get rid of, he is the victim here!" Dean paced back and forth like a caged animal.
"He killed 26 people, Dean. He probably murdered his best friend! No one in this town will see him as a victim." Seth clarified. "The police have orders to kill him."
"I don't give a shit the way the damn city sees him!" Dean screamed. "Roman doesn't know what he's doing!"
"Well then try to explain that to the wives and children of my deceased security personnel. There are children there, who are going through the same thing we both went through: a villain murdered their parents!" Seth said angrily. "I will compensate them financially, but you well know that there is no money that can compensate or replace the love of his parents."
"Roman is just a puppet, the real culprits are the D-Xs!" Dean felt like he was losing his mind. This whole situation was driving him crazy.
"But the city won't understand." Seth insisted. "Besides, Roman will attack again. He will kill people again and we must stop him!"
"We must save him!" Dean couldn't hold back the tears.
"There is no way to save him and you know it." Seth said firmly. "Roman is a threat and I'm going to stop him, with or without your help."
"Then you will have to face me!" Dean grunted.
"As long as you keep trying to save Roman, he will keep killing innocent people." Seth shook his head. "In front of society, this will only make you his accomplice. We are supposed to fight the villains, not protect them."
Dean didn't want to admit that Seth was right. Roman was a danger and the issue was not only saving him, but also that he had no idea how to do it. But there was also the fact that, if he saved Roman, the Samoan would have to find out what he had done while he was a puppet.
Roman was not going to take it.
Dean's heart was broken and he didn't know what to do. He let the tears roll down his cheeks incessantly. Seth started walking towards him.
"You want to kill the man I love. Don't even try to comfort me." Dean spat bitterly.
At that moment Dean's phone rang. It was Finn. The auburn-haired man closed his eyes begging for good news.
"Tell me they could save Elias, please." Dean said between sobs.
"I'm sorry Dean. Elias didn't resist, he's dead." Finn was crying too. "Dean, what are we going to do?"
That was it. Dean threw the phone on the floor, smashing it to pieces. He fell to the ground crying like a child.
"How will I save you now?" Dean repeated between sobs.
"He's hurt!" AJ screamed angrily when he saw Roman bleeding.
The scientist took the Samoan's hand and led him to a stretcher to treat his wounds.
"How whinny you have become." Triple H rolled his eyes. "For Roman, those are just scratches. And for your information, we are hurt too."
"You all can die for what I care." AJ spat bitterly.
"Let Allen take care of Randy's puppet." Road Dogg said disinterestedly. "The most important thing now is that the entire city knows that Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose are the Hounds of Justice. They confessed everything and actually showed their skills in front of us and the survivors."
"And thanks to that, many of our men are in jail." Triple H said angrily.
At that moment Randy Orton entered the laboratory. The millionaire had a glass of whiskey in one of his hands. He was celebrating his victory.
"Did you put the toys at Rollins Industries headquarters?" Randy asked.
"All of them. They were so distracted by the attack and with Roman, that they didn't notice that some of our men was spread out in the building." Triple H smiled.
"Perfect, I'm going to start destroying everything Seth Rollins loves." Randy smiled.
They all approached a huge monitor, on its screen was the Rollins Industries building. Randy had a device in his hand, in which he pushed some buttons and on the screen they watched how the entire building imploded, destroying it completely.
"Don't be bitter and come see the fireworks, Allen." Randy grinned.
"It seems you didn't hear that Seth Rollins is one of the Hounds of Justice." AJ said as he wiped the blood from one of Roman's arms. "You can destroy all of his physical possessions but you will never get him to be your lover. If you get close to him, he will destoy you like a roach."
Randy grunted in frustration. Knowing that Seth was one of the Hounds of Justice had only made him even more unattainable.
"No matter how strong they are, they all have a weakness, Allen." Randy said bitterly. "Yours and Dean Ambrose's is your beloved Roman, that's why the jerk didn't try to hurt my super soldier and I'm going to use that to my advantage, Seth must have a weakness too."
"Finn Balor." Triple H. said. "Seth was able to kill us today, but he preferred to go save the journalist who was in the building when Roman collapsed a part of him."
"He used his body as a shield and that allowed us to escape, surely Seth Rollins is in love with that guy." Road Dogg added.
AJ smirked. Randy's face was a poem. He was red with anger. The millionaire threw the glass against one of the walls of the laboratory.
"So, I'm going to destroy Finn Balor, but first I'll use him as bait to make Seth surrender to me." Randy said angrily.
AJ felt that he might finally mortify Randy. "Good luck with that, because even if you do, when Seth wraps his legs around your waist, he might break your spine instead of giving himself to you."
Randy pulled AJ out of the robe and threw him on the floor. "Shut your damn mouth and do your damn job."
That said, Randy left the lab followed by the D-X, they had to plan the next attack. Leaving Roman and AJ alone in the lab.
"My love, I am working hard to restore your free will. After all, I was the one who modified that serum, I know how it works." AJ thought as he kissed Roman's lips, getting no reaction from the other man. "I'm going to save you, but after everything we've forced you to do, you're going to hate me or maybe end up killing me. I love you so much that I don't care if you take my life, I'm going to save you anyway. If Dean Ambrose is one of the Hounds of Justice, I think I know what to do."
"The only solution we have is to wake him up from that trance." Finn said. "But I have no idea how to get it."
After Dean's terrible collapse. The auburn haired man had gone to Finn's house. The Rollins mansion had long since ceased to be his home and he didn't want to be around Seth.
"Even if we do. What will happen to Roman when he finds out that he killed all those people, including his best friend?" Dean had cried a lot but apparently he still had tears.
"This situation is horrible and we have no help of any kind." Finn closed his eyes in frustration.
Someone knocked on the door. Dean rolled his eyes, it was probably Seth and he honestly didn't want to see him.
Both men walked to the door and when they opened it, they found AJ.
