Roman felt miserable when he woke up in Dean's room. His best friend had been there for him the night before. They had bought a bottle of whiskey and gone back to Dean's room. While emptying the whiskey and talking, Dean had suggested that Roman tried googling for Elsa's past like Sasha had done. What he had found had hurt him even more.

He wasn't hurt about her ever having been in the movement. He was hurt about him sending her away the night before without actually listening to what she had to say. It hadn't made sense when she had shouted about saving 30 people but he had found the article. The crazy movement she had been part of had planned on storming a Jewish church and killing everyone inside. She had warned the police and saved 30 lives in the process.

"What are you doing?" Dean asked.
"Just checking the article again," Roman answered.

No matter how many times he read it, it didn't get any easier. He finally understood how hard it had been for her.

"Her parents," he sighed. "The things they say about her in the article. Why do they even let reporters into prisons?"
"I don't know," Dean said.
"She was born into that world. How could she leave? She was brainwashed from the beginning, and she still battled through. She saved those people, Dean. She had no one. Everything she knew fell apart around her because she chose the right thing," Roman started crying.
"I know," Dean placed an arm around Roman's shoulders.
"She must have been so alone and scared," Roman cried. "And I didn't listen. I sent her away. How could I have been so stupid?"
"You didn't know," Dean said. "But you need to talk to her."

Roman nodded and reached a hand up to squeeze Dean's hand.

"You know why the girls did it, right?" Dean asked.
"I know Ronda has a crush on me, and she can't get it through her head that I don't want her," Roman answered. "She thinks she's so entitled to everything because Hunter and Stephanie have pushed her to the moon. Undefeated bitch with a title she doesn't deserve. She's so damn angry that they can't force me to date her."
"What Ronda wants, Ronda gets," Dean chuckled. "Except for your dick."
"Except for my dick," Roman laughed through his tears. "Fuck, Dean. I messed up so bad last night."

Elsa kept her phone off the entire day and stayed far away from the hotel. Roman had tried calling, texing and knocking on her door several times, but he was met with silence from all around. She couldn't get away though. They would both be in the arena that night.

"Oh my god, did you see her hair?" Liv snickered.
"What hair?" Sarah snickered back. "I heard she's a nazi."
"Haven't you checked your phones?" Ruby asked.

Roman overheard the conversation, and it hurt.

"You have no idea what you're talking about!" He growled angrily. "Have you seen her?"
"She went that way ten minutes ago," Ruby pointed in a direction.

He went searching for her and stopped to stare in shock when he finally found her. She was bald. How did that happen so fast? And why? He hurried up to her before she could get away again.

"Elsa? What happened to your hair?" He asked.
"What do you want, monkey boy?" She sneered.
"Monkey boy? What the fuck?" He couldn't believe it.
"I don't associate with monkeys like you!" She sneered. "You're beneath me!"
"You wanna throw a 'sieg heil' in there now you're at it?" He sneered back.

Even if she wanted to hurt him the worst way possible, she couldn't get those words over her lips. His look softened, and he looked into her bright blue eyes. No contacts. But her eyes were wet, and she was trying to hold back the tears.

"We need to talk," he said.
"I needed to talk last night but you weren't there," she said.
"Elsa, please!" He pleaded.
"Fuck off, monkey boy!" She sneered.

She spun around and ran away from him. He knew she didn't mean it but it didn't stop it from hurting. He blamed himself for not listening to her last night, but mostly he blamed those four women that were always running together.

"Roman?" Tyler walked up to him.
"What is it, Breeze?" Roman asked.
"I had the room next to Elsa last night and I heard something," Tyler said.
"What did you hear?" Roman asked.
"Shouting and fighting," Tyler seemed nervous. "I looked out to see the girls come out of her room with a hair trimmer."
"What girls?" Roman's tone dropped.
"You already know," Tyler sighed. "They didn't leave it at the bar. They did that to her hair. And if it's worth anything, Dean's already been sending the article to everyone, so we all know she's not what they want us to believe."
"Thanks, Breeze," Roman said. "Fucking, stupid, little, shit-eating bitches!"

Ronda and Elsa were scheduled for a match that night. No one expected Elsa to come out on top. It was an open secret that they were gonna keep Ronda unfeated as long as possible, and she sure wouldn't lose in a non title match on RAW.

"You look good," Ronda whispered as they locked up.
"Shut up!" Elsa hissed.
"Guess Roman's up for the taking now," Ronda whispered. "I'll have him in my bed by the end of the week."

Elsa pushed Ronda into the turnbuckle, and Ronda dropped to her knees. All as planned. What wasn't planned was Elsa running in with a stiff knee that hit Ronda's head hard. Ronda fell forward in a daze, slowly blinking her eyes to try and see straight. Arms wrapped around her throat and legs wrapped around her waist. Elsa wasn't just putting her in a submission hold, she was choking her on purpose.

"Fucking tap, you bitch!" Elsa whispered in Ronda's ear. "Tap or pass out! I don't give a fuck!"

A shockwave ran through the audience as Ronda tapped. People backstage was cursing loudly, not knowing what had just happened. Ronda was scheduled to win, yet she had tapped. They couldn't even play it down since it had been live on RAW.

"What the hell?" Dean chuckled.
"That's my girl!" Roman grinned.
"She's in so much trouble," Dean said.
"Not if I can help it," Roman said.

He ran towards Stephanie's office, knowing Elsa would be summoned there the second she stepped out in the gorilla. He almost ran into her as they reached the door at the same time. Without thinking he grabbed her face and kissed her. She tried to push him away for a second, but then she melted into his arms and started crying into his vest.

"Roman," she whispered.
"Ssh, peanut. I know what you did. You're fucking brave, you know that? Turning your back on all those people and leaving your family behind to save someone you didn't know," he said.

The door opened and Tyler Breeze of all people stepped out of the office. He gave Roman a smile and a nod, wordlessly telling the man that he had just told Stephanie what he had witnessed the night before.

"Since both of you are out there, you might as well come in at the same time," Stephanie said.

Roman took Elsa's hand and escorted her into the office.

"I was gonna fire you or at least suspend you for jumping script like that, but then a very interesting story reached me. It's been crazy the last couple of minutes. My phone's been going off constantly, and Tyler was just here with some information too. Quite frankly, my head is spinning," Stephanie said.
"Sorry," Elsa said.
"Don't apologize. Dean sent me an article too. Apparently you're a hero. There's a lot here I don't know and I'm gonna look into it the next couple of days, but for now you're off the hook," Stephanie said.
"And those other four?" Roman asked.
"I can't suspend the champion," Stephanie sighed and looked at Elsa. "The other three will be suspended for a month though. And you'll be the one to dethrone Ronda when the time comes. But first a movie."
"Wait, what?" Elsa asked.
"We gotta figure out an excuse for your missing hair, and since we have a movie with a bald female lead coming up, you're getting that part. You'll be off tv for six weeks," Stephanie said.

Roman squeezed Elsa's hand. He knew this was a big deal.

"You too, Roman," Stephanie said.
"Me too what?" Roman asked.
"There's a male lead in the movie and we're giving it to you. I think it's safest if we keep Ronda and you apart, don't you think?" Stephanie asked.
"I'm in," Roman said.
"Great," Stephanie smiled. "Now run along. I have a lot of people I need to talk to today."

Roman had never let go of Elsa's hand. They walked out of the office and through the arena until they found a secluded area.

"I'm so sorry about last night," he said.
"And I'm sorry for what I said earlier," she said. "What a way to start."
"No relationship is perfect," he said.
"Yeah, let's go with that," she laughed.
"Come here, peanut," he said.

He pulled her in for a kiss and held her close.

"You're gonna let your hair grow back out, right?" He asked.
"After the movie," she said.
"I like your eyes," he said. "Your natural eye colour."
"Fine, I'll drop the contacts completely but I'm still dyeing my hair brown," she said.
"As long as you're mine, you can do what you want," he smiled. "Fucking weird way to start for sure, but you're mine, and that's all that matters."
