"Ro... Roman." Dean made a choked sound.

Roman was looking through him. As if he were an illusion.

"I killed all those people..." his voice was hollow. "I also killed Elias."

Dean gulped. Roman's eyes showed all the pain in the world and Dean knew his own reflected the same feeling.

"It was Randy. You weren't aware of it." Dean tried.

"It was actually me..." AJ finally found his voice. "It was me, Roman. You're innocent."

The pain and sadness in the Samoan's eyes turned into unbridled anger.

"You're right. It was you. You did this to me." Roman gritted his teeth.

A single tear rolled down AJ's face. He seemed resigned. "I won't beg for forgiveness. I deserve what you want to do to me. I love you, Roman, but my love destroyed you."

Dean was scared. He didn't know what to expect from Roman. But if anything, his body language was brimming with anger and resentment. Roman looked at AJ, her eyes focused on the shorter man.

Dean could only see how things unfolded.

"Roman, please. I know you're angry, you have a right to be, but..." Dean stuttered. "You are not a..."

Roman glared at him. "A murderer?"

Dean didn't know what to do or what to say.

"A murderer". Roman pointed to himself. "That is who I am now. There is no way I can get back what I lost."

"There is always a way." Dean stifled a sound. "If you let me help..."

"You can not help me!" Roman screamed. "No one can help me, especially you! Do you really think this makes you a hero? This power is useless. Having these abilities and knowing that you are useless anyway. Because you can be controlled, because you are like a weapon, that others can use to hurt and destroy... to kill. You were never a hero and neither will I be."

Roman started walking towards AJ. "What I really am is a murderer, so what's new? I can kill more people. I can kill whoever did this to me."

"And I deserve it..." AJ didn't move. His eyes showed no emotion, he was ready to face that fate.

Dean was desperate. He limped as fast as he could and put his body between Roman and AJ.

"You are a murderer, right?" Dean looked Roman straight in the eye. "Then you can kill me too. That's what a murderer does. If you really think you are one, this will be a piece of cake. You'll have to kill me first before you get to AJ."

For a moment, Roman felt his body tremble. Dean showed no fear. He was in front of AJ.

Roman ran up to him and pushed Dean away. The auburn haired man was weak and Roman could easily hurt him. Even so, Dean managed to get to his feet and stop Roman, who was now on AJ, trying to strangle him.

Dean grabbed Roman's hair, trying to free the scientist. And although the auburn haired one was still weak, he was still stronger than an average human. So Roman had no choice but to let AJ go, to try to get rid of Dean.

Roman pushed his ex-boyfriend, who fell onto a panel, breaking it and injuring himself in the process. Then Roman tried again and this time he hit AJ and the scientist was bleeding on the ground.

"I know I'm going to die, but I just need you to know how sorry I am." AJ gasped. "I realized everything I've been doing wrong, Roman. Everything. These are mistakes I can't fix, but what I did to you, I tried to fix it. Neither Randy nor anyone else can hurt you again. I know, this doesn't change what we did to you, but maybe you can see the light at the end of the tunnel and realize that it was our fault and not yours. Maybe you can forgive yourself and move on with your life."

Roman was surprised to hear AJ's words. "I can understand what you're saying. But I don't feel that way. It's not that easy, it will never be."

Roman was about to deliver the final blow and Dean in a last attempt covered AJ's body taking the damage.

The auburn haired man was bleeding on the floor.

"Why are you doing this?" AJ was amazed.

"It's not about you. You deserve to die." Dean said almost in agony.

He then he looked at Roman. "All those people you killed. It wasn't you. You weren't aware of it. You were controlled by other people and you didn't know what you were doing. Their death is in the hands of Randy and AJ. They must bear those sins on their consciences... if they have any."

Roman's eyes were wide. He had hurt Dean so badly and the man was still trying to help him.

"But if you kill AJ, that would be a conscious decision. A choice that you would be making." Dean said spitting blood. "That would make you a real killer, and I won't let that happen. Even if I die in the process, I will try to prevent it."

Roman grabbed his temple and fell to the ground. A part of him screamed that Dean's words were true, that he still had a chance to save his soul, to end it all and run away, run away with the man he loved.

Another part of him remembered Elias' face trying to reassure him, as he threw a slab of concrete at him. He remembered the panicked faces of each of the civilians he killed, under Randy's control. He remembered that even if he wanted to escape and try again, he could never forget those people.

The memory of his faces would never allow her to live in peace and be happy.

It didn't matter how much he loved Dean. It didn't matter how much Dean loved him too... to the point of almost sacrificing his life to bring him back to himself.

Roman was a murderer, that couldn't be changed.

He had to atone for his faults, that couldn't be changed either.

He could never be happy with Dean or anyone else, because he couldn't forgive himself.

But there was something he could do to try to remedy this situation a bit, and he was going to do it.

Roman took Dean gently and laid him on a gurney. Then he looked at AJ. "If you want to do something for me, heal his wounds. It does not matter that I am now a monster and that... I have hurt the person I love. Dean is the man I love and I want him to be okay. But now, I must do the right thing, and the only thing for which these skills can be useful to me."

AJ nodded understanding everything. Dean's eyes were wide, also understanding the meaning of Roman's words.

"You won't be able to do it alone. Please wait for me to recover a bit. Besides, Seth can help us too and..." Dean tried to sit up but couldn't. Roman had hurt him... again.

"You know Dean, we weren't meant to be. That didn't stop you from loving me, much less stop me from falling in love with you. I love you the way I've never loved anyone, and the way I'll never love again, because It is no longer in me to harbor those feelings. You will always be the love of my life." And for the first time since his transformation, Dean got to see something of the old Roman in this new version of the Samoan. "Thank you for allowing me to love you, because your love gave me the best moments of my life, thank you for trying to save me. Do not blame yourself for not having succeeded."

That said, Roman left the lab as fast as he could.

"Look at you, Sethie. You're so perfect. Everything about you is damn perfect." Randy forced the young man to kiss him. "Even that expression of disgust on your face doesn't make your beauty any less pleasant."

The image of both of them on the huge monitor in the room where Finn was being held was grotesque. The journalist wanted to vomit, he wanted to scream.

He wanted to detach Randy's head from his body.

"Seth! Seth!" Finn no longer had a voice.

Brock smirked, enjoying this new form of torture the prisoner was being subjected to.

"Damn brainless puppet!" Finn said when he saw Brock smiling.

Finn returned his gaze to the monitor and then the screen faded to black. It was only a few seconds and then the broadcasting came back, but there was no audio. Finn saw Seth changing his expression completely and it was the younger man who took control of the situation.

Whatever happened, Finn couldn't tell what it was, because nothing could be heard anymore and Seth no longer seemed scared. Finn looked at the monitor and it was obvious that something was wrong there, Seth seemed too satisfied. Was he enjoying being with Randy?

At that moment Triple H entered the room. "I came to supervise the prisoner. Brock, AJ wants you to go to the lab on the 20th floor..."

And then Triple H was surprised to watch the monitor where Seth threw Randy onto the bed and climbed on top of him, looking quite pleased… all of that in front of his boyfriend who was hanging on chains as a prisoner.

"It seems like Randy finally got what he wanted." Triple H said wryly and smiled at Finn. "That's how rich and powerful are, you can't trust them. They love to humiliate the idiots around them."

Finn was enraged, what he watched on the monitor was disgusting. "And you know a lot about that. You think you're powerful and you're just Orton's lap dog."

Triple H tried to mask his anger but failed. "I could kill you right now, dwarf. But letting you live, watching the love of your life fuck someone as despicable as Randy must be punishment enough."

"You will do nothing because you have no power to do so, as Orton has not ordered you to do such a thing." Finn grinned. "Because let's face it, you are just a puppet in Randy's hands. But one thing you haven't noticed is that when he has more super soldiers, he will get rid of ordinary, useless humans like you and your minions. Have you been so idiotic not to question this yourself? Did Randy care about HBK's death? I've been investigating and I know Seth killed him. And if you think you're going to avenge him one day, you're wrong, because Randy loves Seth madly and he will keep him alive. None of the DXs are of any value to Randy. So please take a seat and watch the man who murdered your best friend having sex with your boss."

Triple H clenched his teeth angrily, it was impossible to deny that Finn was right. He wanted so badly to hit the shorter man, but Randy had made it clear that they shouldn't touch Finn because he needed him alive.

Finn laughed. Triple H walked over to him and grabbed him by the neck.

"Come on puppet, kill me. And then face the fate your owner will give you when Seth orders him to get rid of you." Finn finished his statement. "Or he save your life by doing the right thing for the first time. You really don't have much of a choice."

"Seth wants to kill Randy..."

"But Randy has me trapped here, and Seth loves me, so he'll do anything to keep me alive..." Finn looked Triple H in the eye. "A choice you didn't have with the person you loved... or am I wrong?"

Triple H wanted to refute Finn but the journalist was absolutely right.

"Maybe you can still save your life." Finn proposed. "I'm going to help you."

Triple H was thoughtful. Really at this point both: him and what was left of the D-X were trapped.

"Why are you doing all this?" Triple H questioned once more. "You should want to get back at me like your little boyfriend does. He has a good reason for wanting to kill me."

"If Seth takes revenge on you, there will be no difference between him and Randy." Finn explained. "And I want to prevent him from becoming what he says he hates so much."

In the bedroom, Seth laid Randy on the bed and climbed on top of him.

"You are scared right?" Seth smirked. "You love me as much as you fear me."

"What the hell are you doing?" Randy didn't understand.

"Well, I can give myself to you as part of this blackmail. I mean, you are attractive and maybe with a little effort I can even have an orgasm." Seth was stroking Randy's cock over his clothes. "Of course I will have to imagine that I am with someone else. Someone who turns me on, instead of you, for whom I only feel sorry and disgust. But a cock is a cock."

"You bastard..." Randy wanted to push Seth, but he couldn't.

"Do you know that I could rape you?" Seth gave a little laugh. "Humiliate yourself by putting something more than my cock up your ass and you couldn't defend yourself."

"And Brock would destroy Balor." Randy said trying to break free. "We are broadcasting to his room, they are watching everything that happens here."

Seth smirked, straddling Randy's cock as he began to rub his own cock against Randy's, both still clothed.

"I don't believe that." Seth smirked. "The Miz has already done me the favor I asked for... and well, now we have audio problems. They will see us here enjoying ourselves. Or rather they will see me enjoying myself while I ride on your cock and take your life. They will surely think it's just sex hard and not murder."

"Godamn bastard!" Randy tried in vain to get rid of Seth.

Seth smiled as he saw how the lust in Randy's eyes was replaced by true fear and helplessness. It was cathartic.

"I think it makes me horny to know that you are nothing more than trash that I can destroy." Seth was still rutting against Randy, even though he wasn't hard anymore. "With Finn it is incredible because I love him and he makes me burn in his arms. With him I feel that every fiber of my being ignites. With you I am getting hard because I am going to kill you. And watching you die like the rat that you are will give me the best of orgasms, so your silly puppets won't be suspicious if they watch one of us enjoying this."

Randy felt humiliated, he was going to scream, but Seth silenced him with a kiss. And after so much wishing for this moment, Randy no longer enjoyed it, he was terrified. Seth put his hands on Randy's neck and began to strangle him with the kiss.

With all of Seth's weight and strength, it was impossible for Randy to move his body and due to the angle they were at, no one would doubt that they were having sex. Randy heard Seth groanning as he rode harder and faster against him, taking his life.

Roman was going directly to the penthouse. He had been in this building enough times to remember where each place was. It cost him nothing to get to Randy's room because he had free access to the entire building now that he was one of the businessman's puppets.

He didn't even bother to knock, he just broke down the door and there was Seth, all over Randy. Due to the shock of seeing Roman there, that Seth released the villain, who was somewhat purple. Randy took a deep breath trying to get air back into his system as he watched with relief as one of his puppets came to his aid.

Orton wanted to speak but could only cough. Seth stood up trying to arrange his clothes and looked defiantly at Roman.

"This time you're not going to defeat me..." Seth tried to sound calm, but actually he wasn't.

Roman smirked. Randy realized that something was wrong, but being able to regain some of his voice, he wanted to give Roman an order.

"Kill him now!" Randy rasped his voice.

"No." Was Roman's reply.

Seth arched an eyebrow and Randy leaned against one of his desks, watching in amazement as Roman seemed to be free of his power over him.

"Actually, I'm sorry I interrupted you." Roman looked at Seth. "You can keep strangling him. It doesn't matter who does the job, the important thing here is to kill him."

Randy opened one of the drawers and took a small device from him. "That stupid AJ freed you from my mind control. But that won't be very helpful because I can still destroy you."

Randy clicked the button on the little device, but nothing happened.

Raman smiled. "And apparently, AJ defused the bomb inside me as well. So now, you only have one super soldier left."

Seth laughed as he walked over to Randy. "I guess this is where you die."

Randy pulled the cell phone from him and suddenly an alarm went off throughout the building. "Maybe, but I still have a super soldier, the most powerful of all. More powerful than Dean, Roman and you combined. The D-X and Brock are going to kill you."

"I wouldn't count on that." Behind them, was a beaten Finn Balor aided by Triple H. "The D-Xs have already resigned and are leaving this building. I think you are lost, it's time for you to surrender to justice."

"Justice?" Seth stopped very close to Randy and looked at Finn and Triple H. "Justice is this moment, when I have my parents' killer and the greatest villain this city has ever had, in the same room. Justice is this moment, where I can finally take revenge. "

"Justice and revenge are not the same, Seth." Finn said almost pleadingly. "All that revenge desire of yours has cost too many lives. You must stop. With everything that has happened, the whole city knows who the bad guys are and we can put them in jail."

"I want to surrender to justice." Triple H said looking trapped. "I have valuable information on all of Randy's misdeeds and my men are ready to stop Randy and Kane from escaping while you take care of Lesnar."

But before anyone could give an answer, what was left of the door was destroyed by Brock Lesnar who entered the place guided by the alarm that Randy had activated.

"The moment of truth is now I guess." Roman said looking at Seth. "I understand you want revenge, but Triple H is right. Lesnar is the biggest problem and we need to solve it now. The D-X can take care of Randy."

"In a perfect utopia, Triple H and his henchmen would turn themselves in to the police and justice would be served." Seth looked at Roman incredulously. "But the only utopia in this place, is the name. These guys will rejoin and run away together, I won't allow it."

Seth was very fast, he ran towards Triple H, pushing Finn who was caught by Roman, which prevented the journalist from hurting himself further. Seths later, Seth had broken Triple H's neck, killing him immediately.

Randy panicked, knowing he was next. "Lesnar, you must kill them all starting with Seth, Roman and Dean if he shows up. Then destroy everything in your path!"

Lesnar nodded at Randy and his first target was Roman, who was still holding Finn.

Seth was running towards Randy, but the businessman activated another device that blew up the entire penthouse.
