Falling In Love With The Enemy

Part 11: This Cursed Fate

Purpledolpin05: This is a drabble for Roman/Tracy during Rise of The Five. In my AUs, Roman and Riker kidnapped both Skylar and Tracy. Skylar for just hostage purposes and Tracy because Roman likes her. (He's doing it the Hades/Persephone style, in hindsight, kidnapping your future spouse back then wasn't as frown upon as it is today) Back to review shout outs.

To The Dreamer With A Passion: Thanks for the review, yeah the pepperspray scene is parallel to Jay/Tracy except Tracy is a bit closer to Roman than Jay (Jay: WHAT?!) Hope you will like this chapter.

To Guest (V.A.): Thanks for the review, Perry being superstitious seems legit to me since she freaked out about aliens so I assume ghosts would be also one of her superstitious fears. Wow, I only guessed VA stands for Valarie when I first read your reviews, I never knew I could accidentally actually got your name right, well Valarie is based on a friend of mine IRL although Val (for short) hasn't been seen yet. Hope you will like this chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters of Mighty Med, Lab Rats, Lab Rats Elite Force, I only own my Original Characters. Enjoy.

[Roman's P.O.V.]

Well, my life had been a roller-coaster of emotions so far. Ever since mom died, I have been the one who supports and helps around the family, and when dad lost his powers recently he became a different person. Almost a stranger…He used to be one of the most caring dads anyone could ask for, even if he was busy he would always find time for his children. He loved mom more than anyone else, maybe that's why he never remarried because he's being faithful and loyal to mom. That, and the fact Grandfather used to cheat on Grandmother all the time so dad learnt a lesson or two about being a faithful husband.

Initially, I was supposed to be Dad's successor after he retires, since I am the eldest of the family. And I have been preparing my whole life following my father's footsteps and I shoulder his legacy with pride. He was not just a superhero, he is also the best father I could ever ask for. But when Kaz and Oliver decided to take away dad's powers, it meant that dad is now powerless and being powerless was a fate worse than death.

A Super being without any touch of their powers for a long period of time could cause the Super to slowly slip away from their sanity and Powers are symbolic to Superhero culture for as long as I could remember. For most cases of being a Super, their Powers are kinda like a part of their own soul; without it, one could eventually die.

And my grandparents were in charge of our family's financials, when they heard dad lost his powers (being one of the most powerful older generation superhero) they quicly cut all ties with us and disown/disinherit us. Which was unfair to Dad, because he's worked so hard he doesn't deserve all this.

Now, my life goal is to end all superheroes to avenge my father and to help find the two missing siblings from all those years before. I never wanted or planned to be in love.

But I guess I was wrong, according to my dad, people can fall in love when they least expected it.

It all started one day when Riker and I were done with our odd job shift and were heading back to pack up lunch for our family, when some little boy came over to flirt with me. (he thought I was a girl but I have him 2 bucks to go away)

That was how I first saw Her…

I noticed a girl about my age (or about 2 to 3 years younger) looking my way and our eyes met for a moment. She was with a group of preteens and a few toddlers and a guy whom I assumeis her younger brother. She quickly looked away after we looked at each other. There was something special about her and I guess that was just the beginning.

I kept bumping into the cute girl from the subway, her name's Tracy by the way. And we ended up bonding really well. I never knew I could ever fall for someone so hard and fast before.

Just a few minutes before Riker and I met up at the Davenport Penthouse to deliver our flashdrive, I bumped into her outside the grocery store after another shift at the costume shop I work in.

"Sorry." I heard her apologizing.

"We have really got to stop bumping into each other." I chuckled at her as I helped her gather up her groceries.

"What's with these stuff in here?" She asked, almost looking at my bag (Oh crap) "But if you don't wanna tell me I can respect that."

Huh, that was nice of her, most girls I know just rummage my stuff.

"It's a couple of Halloween masks I picked up for my younger siblings." I lied, well sort of.

"Well, I have to get back now." She grew a bit nervous when we were gathering the juice boxes and our hands meet.

"Sure." I nodded, before we parted ways.

But that all changed that one fateful night when Riker and I were supposed to hound up on Kaz and ticked him off our Kill List when we were interrupted by Tracy and her brother Jones.

We were both surprised and disappointed. I was upset that she had to be working for the enemy, but I couldn't bear to kill her or her family (even if they were orders from my dad) so when the other Elite Force members showed up, Riker and I knocked all of them out. I felt bad for having to brutally knock over Tracy (and Jones) but it's business!

"Great, I say we drag the powerless one ad skedaddle out of here." Riker told me.

"Actually, I mean WE should take her too." I carried Tracy in bridal form.

"Why?"

"She's working for the enemy, I figured maybe she might know a lot more of insiders' information." I replied. Way to sound casual!

"Ok." Riker nodded before he grabbed Skylar over the shoulder as we teleported back to the hideout.

"N-No…" Tracy started to stir a bit. "I don't want to hunt down your enemies anymore, Master!"

Master? Who was she talking about?

"Shh…it's ok now, you're safe." I whispered to her.

"I'm scared…" I heard Tracy mumbling.

"Of who?" I asked.

"Master Krane. He's going to kill me." Tracy winced a bit.

"Don't be scared…I'm here for you." I assured her. "I'll protect you…"

Tracy suddenly smiled a bit.

"Thank you." She yawned a bit before falling asleep again. I placed her in a separate cell from Skylar's cell. Right after I placed her on a mattress (what? My brothers like to take naps here sometimes) I felt her hand tugging on my sleeve.

"Stay?" Tracy asked. "I'm scared…"

"J-just for a few minutes. Okay?" I thought before sat beside her and watched her sleep.

Who was this Krane person she was so afraid of? My assumption was that she used to work for this Krane man, and that she was involved in villainous acts.

Poor girl…I gazed at her. She and I might not be so different after all…

I looked at her, before looking at her lips. Nah, I can't just go around kissing her if I wanted to. Dad taught me to be a gentleman, and it's better if we have our first kiss when the time is right.

I want to protect you. But right now, I am not even sure if you would ever forgive me…

If we were in a fairytale, she would be Red Riding Hood; and I would be the Big Bad Wolf.

I don't want to be 'Evil' but I don't have a choice.

Why must fate be such a cruel thing? I shook my head sighing.

Purpledolpin05: Here is a bit of an in-depth chapter from Roman's P.O.V. since I wanna see what he thinks from his part of the story. The subway scene was the prologue for my other story 'A Shapeshifting Crush' (partially Roman/Tracy/Jay since it's AU if Tracy left after seeing Jay with Audrey) but this AU is Roman/Tracy (sorry Jay) In my AUs, Roman is a gentleman around girls (well minus Bree and Skylar) and would rather have Tracy's permission if he wants to kiss her. (after the Hostage scene would be a deleted scene of Roman having a personal interrogation with Tracy which he flipped and almost kissed her before the Elite Force barged in)

Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. Feel free to fave, follow, and leave a review down and tell me what you think. I think I would work on the Attack Rocy scene soon. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
