Falling In Love With The Enemy

Part 12: Sidetracked

Purpledolpin05: Well, I have been planning on this Rocy scene during The Attack (because in Family Sticks Together, Roman showed up late and claimed he was sidetracked) and I was thinking of what if Roman had a little moment with Tracy? Back to review shoutouts.

To The Dreamer With A Passion: Thanks for the review, well almost everyone in Elite Force have a tragic backstory (Jenny and Bob were put up for adoption; Bob's case because his parents had too many kids and can't afford to raise him and Jenny comes from a sexist family. Spin is separated from his parents after birth and got an abusive 'father' before Krane; Tracy and Jones do come from a happy family but they were kidnapped; and Jamie's mom was abused) Glad you liked the Rocy drabble, hope you will like this chapter.

To Guest (V.A.): Thanks for the review, yeah, we don't get to read a lot about Roman or his family, most Roman fics we have here are ones of him being an abusive sadistic villain. Whereas I (and Tracy) view him as a misunderstood guy who does 'evil' deeds to help/honor his father and is secretly a really nice guy on the inside (kinda like Hades, mostly because now I ship Roman/Tracy as much as I do with Hades/Persephone) I actually planned to write a Superhero! Roman AU fic (in which Tracy and Roman grew up together because Tracy and Jones were separated, I mean Tracy and Jones would provide Roman and his family all the support when Rina died and she could have stopped Rodissiuss from becoming evil; and probably in an AU in which Roman and Tracy can be together without all the drama) I'm sure that the petition will get enough votes soon (I have faith, that and Fanfiction means the world to me) If Booboo Stewart or Ryan Potter ever read my fanfiction stories, I will literally have a heart attack (nah just kidding, maybe I might) Hope you will like this chapter,

Takes place during The Attack

[Tracy's P.O.V.]

I cannot believe that the city is being terrorized, and chances are that it could be by Roman (aka the guy I am sort of dating) and his family.

Well, I am glad that Chase finally got a girl. It all started earlier when Chase and I went to the library (I went to work on my assignments) when Chase spotted this cute girl reading. After I talked him to bucking up and talking to her, they started to date 3 hours later. (Aw~)

But after a Mission Alert, Douglas wanted the Elite Force along with the Junior League to check on the perimeter to get the civilians out from the dangerous area.

While the Elite Force have their Mission Suits, the Junior League were stuck wearing our old training suits (what you get for being a 'sidekick') Of course, Douglas insisted that the preteens and the toddlers should be sent to Madam Tsuki's place to ensure that they won't get hurt. But none of them bothered to take orders from Douglas, except for January who is too young. (and let's be real, when was the last time any of those kids ever listened to Davenport?) Jackie and Chloe are kids too but they insisted to follow Jones on his Mission. I allowed the Fearsome Foursome to look around the area with Walkie-Talkies (I got them half off at a shop) I just followed behind them while looking for the injured victims.

I spotted a small group of kids about the foursome's age.

"Where's my mommy?" the younger kids cried.

"Shh, it's ok, we're gonna get you all out of here. I'm sure your family are waiting outside." I leaned down and assured them. "We're all going to get you back to your families safe and sound."

"Follow my lead! I know the way out!" Bob gestured, leading the group of kids.

"BOB, THAT WAY IS TO THE SEWERS!" Jenny yelled.

"I knew that, I was just testing you." Bob lied before he turned the other way.

"Single file line people!" Jamie shouted.

"And try to keep it down." Spin added.

Wow, when did they grow up so fast? Gosh, I feel so proud to see them rascals grow up and becoming responsible and brave teenagers.

"Cece, aren't you following?" Jenny peeked a head in.

"I'll meet you guys at the exit." I told them, "I'm gonna check if there are any more people around the area."

"What about us?" Bob asked.

"Consider this as your first official rescue mission, kids. Make me proud." I winked at them with a playful smile. The four shared an excited look before they saluted at me.

"We will, Ma'am!" Spin smiled.

"If you're not out of this place in 30 minutes, we'll come back to find you." Jamie stated, looking at her watch.

"Ok." I nodded, before they left.

I grabbed a torch from my backpack of tools (Davenport gave us each a backpack) and started to look around the building for injured victims.

So far, most people had abandoned their homes and left for refuge. Looks like a gang of thieves had broken into some of their houses and ransacked the place. I hope it wasn't Roman or his family.

No…I trust Roman, he might be a bit aggressive and rough around the edges, but he is not a thief.

I guess I was too busy looking out for casualties that I didn't spot someone sneaking up behind me.

"Woah!" I yelped before the mysterious figure pulled me into a dark alley. I groaned a bit before looking up and saw Roman.

"R-Roman?!" I blushed a bit.

"Hey Tracy." Roman smiled at me, stop smiling at me like that, you're making me blush more than I should be!

"What are you doing here?" He asked, looking serious and concerned. Almost…worried.

"I'm here to help any casualties outside of the city whereby it's not wrecked or covered in brick pieces or having someone screaming 'HELP, I'VE GOT A SPLINTER IN MY EYE!'," I replied, trying to sound casual and not like you're both enemies while in love with each other.

Roman quickly chuckled, amused.

"Is it really all your doing? The destruction?" I asked, trying to be calm.

"Unfortunately, yes." Roman looked away, feeling ashamed of himself. He looks like he was ashamed of his actions.

"Why?" I asked.

"I'm sorry." Roman became frustrated. "It's complicated, something's wrong with my dad, he is getting more impatient and violent than he ever does. I think it has something to do with him losing his powers. He's…hurt."

"Is there any way I can help? I mean not by mass destruction; I want to help your family." I offered.

"Why would you want to help someone who is the enemy? I mean, I (along with Riker) literally blew up a hospital and killed people. I do whatever it takes to survive." Roman asked, looking confused.

"Because, Roman, you may be a 'villain' to the world; but I know deep inside your heart is still good." I replied with a kind smile, sounding sincere. "There are 5 simple rules between Good and Evil, based on The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani."

"Oh yeah, what are they?" Roman looked at me, amused.

"The Good Defends; The Evil Attacks,

The Good Loves; The Evil Hates,

The Good Helps; The Evil Hurts,

The Good Forgives; The Evil Punishes,

The Good Gives; The Evil Takes."

I listed the 5 main Principles of Good and Evil from The School for Good and Evil. I believe that there is good in everybody (even that no-good Steve Harrington from Stranger Things) even Krane my former Master must have been good or loved at some point before he became evil.

Roman just looked at me.

"What?" I asked.

"You're really one of a kind." He shook his head as he smiled at me.

"W-what do you mean?" I blushed a bit.

"You see the good in everyone, even my family." Roman smiled at me, before he ran his fingers through my hair.

"I know what you're dealing with, well sort of. I used to be an assassin for my former Master, Krane. He made me and some of my friends hunt down his enemies and kill them off. I couldn't do anything back then, because I was mind-controlled by Krane and all I could do is watch helplessly while I was forced to hurt others."

"Have you ever tried to fight back?" Roman asked.

"Once, when I was 14, he sent me on a mission to assassinate a family who had once betrayed him, but I ended up helping the enemy (I met a cute guy named Kai whose father was one of Krane's enemies) in Hawaii, when Krane found out that I didn't finished the deed, he would punish me." I shook my head over, remembering Krane would torment us (like yell, throw dangerous things, starve).

"That's awful." Roman shook his head, "If I had known you back then, I would have saved you."

I smiled at him weakly.

"I mean, why don't you…join me?" Roman suggested. Is he always that straightforward whenever we're both alone?

I felt my ears burning, before I replied him.

"And leave my friends and family?" I shook my head, "I can't…the kids they need me. My brother, January…they are all important to me. I can't just leave my life behind…"

"What about your real family? Have you ever thought about finding your parents?" Roman asked.

"Of course, I have, but Chase always tells me that Missions come first…perhaps that is why he still can't keep a woman." I replied, "I miss my parents, Jones and I both do…"

"Well…if I can't convince you to join me…is it ok if I be a Hero to you once by helping you find your family?" Roman thought before he suggested.

"You would do that?" I looked at him.

"Yes, because you are important to me…and I would do anything to make you happy." Roman replied.

"Roman, even if the world thinks you're Evil, you'll always be a Hero to me." I blushed a bit.

That was when he reached out and took both of my hands in his. Wow, I noticed that his hands were larger than mine, a bit rough but still a refined type of beautiful.

I looked up and saw that he was gazing at me. I looked back at him.

I felt like this moment lasted forever

And strangely, for once, I felt confused and lost. It was like time stood still, and a part of me never wanted this moment to end.

I love Roman but I can't just leave my life behind for a guy. My duty is to help the Elite Force, whose duty is to help people. And yet, it never seemed to occurred to me that sometimes the people are hurting people are the ones that are hurt the most.

Roman started to lean in, is he going to kiss me?

Right when we were about to kiss, we both heard the younger kids downstairs.

"CECE! WHERE ARE YOU?!" I heard Bob screaming.

"STOP SCREAMING!" Jenny shrieked back.

"YOU'RE SCREAMING TOO!" Bob shouted back, both must be having another one of ther witty banters.

"I should go." I apologized.

"Yeah, me too." Roman looked disappointed.

"I'll write to you." I replied, before kissing his cheek.

Roman smiled back, before he morphed into a black swarm and left the scene.

"Cece!" Jamie popped her in a few minutes later after Roman left.

"Hey, sorry I lost track of time." I apologized a bit.

"It's ok, we have to get back now," Spin nodded.

I nodded before following the Four to the exit.

Aw, and to think Roman and I were going to share our first kiss together…

I shook my head, I should be focusing on my Mission. No matter how much I like Roman…There is something about his smooth and mysterious aura that attracts me.

Of course, I didn't see where I was going and ended up banging my head against a lamppost.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Spin blinked at me.

"Sorry, I was thinking about my college assignments." I lied through a weak smile.

"You wanna see a doctor about that?" Jamie asked me.

"Nah, I got an iron skull." I joked over, not wanting them to worry about me.

I have been plotting this Rocy scene ever since I saw The Attack. The small talk scene was so cute! I mean Roman would consult/confine in Tracy because they trust in each other (and that's actually a good foundation in a stable relationship. Hey, Kaz take some relationship advice from these two!) Rocy is relationship goals, well next to a few of my other ships Adura (Adam/Sakura) (DUDE JUST ASK HER OUT ALREADY!), Bob/Jenny (Bonny, they won't be admitting their love-hate crush anytime soon although Bob is more open about his feelings for Jenny than Spin is to Jamie), Rona (Rodissiuss/Rina, they are parent goals, she deserves to live longer) and of course JANOY (January/Doy, the way Doy takes care of her is kinda like Mike/Eleven of STRANGER THINGS although I see Jamie and Spin as Mileven in the crazy crossover Stranger Things AU TKDP and I made up. I actually asked the toddler I based her from if she thinks Doy/Cooper J Friedman is cute and she usually nods, although she would play a little hard to get sometimes. But heck, I ship Janoy IRL, no shame)

I like to think Tracy is Good (as of the 5 principles of Good and Evil) and now I think of it Kaz actually FITS the Evil criteria (If you are Good, you would actually try to help people, AKA Rodissiuss. AND HE ATTACKED LITTLE RICKY!) If there was a School for Good and Evil AU, Oliver would be an Ever and Kaz would be the Never (Evil! Kaz AU confirmed) I do not really hate Bree as much as I do to Kaz but Bree is a close second now that she BLASTED RODISSIUSS. Rodissiuss wants to live long enough until AJ goes to Harvard and to see his eldest son get married to his best friend's daughter (Tracy) [Rodissiuss is best friends with Tracy's dad, that's why he would spare Tracy and Jones and their younger friends]

Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks for reading. Feel free to fave, follow, review and tell me what you think, have a nice day.
