I do not own WWE the wrestlers or Divas just the storyline plot and any oc character who may show up within the story.

Author's note: This is not apart of my stories that I have done with Roman and Dean before, this is a new story much like how my other story Countdown is, however, for those of you who have read my WWe stories please let me know what you would like to see happen next. If you want Roman to have his powers like he does in Lockdown Asylum for example, of you want this one to be a little more realistic then please let me know. I would love to get your feedback. It is greatly appriciated.

Previously on Once Revived, Twice Broken - "Doctor Rodgers, please tell me Dean's okay." Roman said suddenly turning to the doctor with a pleading look showing in his eyes, which quickly shifted to relief when the doctor slowly nodded his head. "We managed to revive him, but that doesn't mean he's out of the woods just yet." "Can we see him at least?" Jimmy asked as Roman quickly explained, "It's okay, they're with me." "Name's Jey." Jey said as he pointed over toward Jimmy. "My twin brother Jimmy and I are Roman's cousins." Doctor Rodgers nodded understanding as he looked over at Roman and replied in a soft voice, "Don't keep your visit too long, your buddy needs his rest." Roman nodded and motioned for Jimmy and Jey to follow him as they all made their way down toward Dean's hospital room.

As they made their way closer toward Dean's room, Roman suddenly caught sight of a dark figure emerging from the room looking highly suspicious. "Hey!" Roman called toward the figure. "Who the hell are you?" The figure turned towards them for a split second before taking off in a hurry. "Who the hell was that?" Jimmy asked as Roman shook his head. "I don't know, but I plan on finding out." And with that being said, the Samoan man took off down the hall chasing after the dark figure. He ran past several other doctors and nurses roming the halls and felt like he was about to be chased by security guards at any given moment, but he didn't care. All he knew was that whoever this person was could possibly be responsible for Dean's attack, and he knew he had to do whatever it took to make him pay.

His footsteps thundered on the ground like thunder as he continued running down the hallway until he caught sight of the dark figure turning a sharp corner. Oh no you don't you little shit. Roman thought angrily. Charging around the corner like an angry bull on steriods, he rammed headfirst into the dark figure knocking him to the ground with a spear that sent both of them reeling. When Roman regained his strength again from the force of the spear and shook out the cobwebs from his brain. With a wave of dizziness swept over him, he managed to ignore it and managed to roll the other guy over. Realizing he was wearing a mask, he pulled the mask off his face and gasped in shock and anger. "Callihan?!"

NOW...

Chapter 6 - Staying Strong

Sami's eyes opened in a slight daze as he had momentarily forgotten where he was, until he saw Roman's face. Immediately he shook the cobwebs from his brain and narrowed his eyes. "What the hell is going on?" He asked as Roman replied, "I could ask you the same thing. What the hell where you doing in Dean's room for?" "It's not what you think." Came Sami's reply as Roman shook his head. "You expect me to believe that bull shit?" He asked his eyes narrowed in anger. "Look, just hear me out okay? I figured out who it was that hurt Dean." He replied as both men got to their feet. "Alright I'll give you two minutes to explain Callihan." The Samoan man replied folding his arms across his chest. "Go." Sami drew in a deep breath and explained, "The one who attacked Dean is named Tommy Mercer," He replied. "He was the main guy that our team was supposed to take care of that night when everything went down."

"Then explain the outfit." Roman said gesturing to the black suspicious looking jacket that Sami wore. "I had to come up with a disguise in case I was being followed." He replied taking off the black jacket and slinging it over his shoulder. "I had to make sure that no one was on my tail." "So you mean that you think that this Tommy Mercer dude would be after you too? What would he want with Dean though?" Sami drew in a deep breath and explained, "That night when Dean went on his so-called rampage, it was because Tommy had mentioned something about Dean's family, which set him off. They got into a bit of a scuffle, and during the heat of the fight, Tommy's innocent little brother got involved and was accidently killed. Tommy's had it out for Dean ever since then, even though it was clearly an accident."

Roman's eyes widened in surprise. "You didn't say that before." He pointed out while raising an eyebrow of suspicion. "Because I wasn't sure it was really him." Sami said starting to get frustrated. "Roman, I'm telling you, Tommy Mercer's the one responsible for Dean's attack." "So then, let's just go to the authorities cuz." Jimmy suggested as he and Jey finally made their way toward them as Sami shook his head. "No, it's too risky." "What do you mean?" Roman asked still staring at him suspiciously. "Because if Tommy discovers that we know, he'll try and retaliate." "Then let him." Roman said as his eyes shifted angrily. "I'll kick his ass all the way to prison and personally see to it that he's behind bars for good." Sami's blue eyes narrowed in determination as he nodded. "You know something? You're right Roman. Tommy deserves whatever the hell he gets what's coming to him." "Damn right he does." Roman said trying to hold in his anger.

Suddenly, an alarm overhead blarred signaling for a Code Blue, and Roman felt his heart sink in his chest. Taking off down the hall toward Dean's hospital room with everyone else at his heels, he was then approached by Doctor Rodgers who held a solemn look etched in the features on his face. "I'm sorry Roman, but I'm going to have to ask you and the others to please wait in the waiting room for now." He said softly. "What do you mean?" Jimmy asked holding on to his twin's hand for support. "Is Dean okay?" Before Doctor Rodgers could respond, a female nurse with long red hair poked her head out from the doorway and called out in urgency, "Doctor! we're losing him! We need you in here now!"

Roman looked over at Sami and whispered in an urgent but yet angry voice, "We need to find Tommy and settle this thing now." Sami nodded in agreement as Roman turned his head now toward the Uso's. "You guys in or what?" He asked as Jimmy and Jey both looked at each other then back at their cousin and nodded slowly. "We're in bro." Jimmy said softly as Jey nodded in agreement. "If there's one thing you don't do, is that you don't mess with the Anoa'i clan." Jey replied with a smile as the twins each bumped Roman's fist. "Got that right." Roman said mirroring a smile on his face which suddenly faded as a distant heart-wrenching sound now filled the room. Hang in there bro. Roman thought sending out a silent prayer. Keep strong Dean-O, just keep hanging in there a little while longer.

Suddenly the alarm stopped, and Roman felt his heart leap into his chest again when he saw the relief on Doctor Rodger's face as he poked his head out from the doorway. "Sorry about that Roman. Things haven't been easy with Dean, that's the fourth time we almost lost him since he's been brought in here." "Is he okay now?" Roman asked. "I'd say so, but only just enough to have one of you visit for now. He still needs his rest." Roman nodded as Jimmy placed a hand on his shoulder. "Go for it Rome, Jey and I will head back to the arena and see if we can find anymore clues about what happened." Roman nodded. "See if there were any witnesses around while your at it." He said gently. "Someone has to have been around to at least see something." The twins nodded. "We'll call you if we find out anything." Roman nodded in response and gave each of the twins a comforting hug.

Roman then turned and looked at Sami, who just shrugged his shoulders and said in a low tone, "Make sure that Dean knows he not alone." Roman nodded. "Guess he doesn't need me to always have his back anymore." Sami said as he turned his back toward Roman and started walking. "Hey Callihan!" Roman called as Sami turned his head to look at him. "Make sure not to do anything stupid, or I'll come and find you and beat some sense into you myself." Sami chuckled and gave Roman a thumbs up. "Relax Roman, I know how to handle myself. Besides If I got a score to settle with Tommy if I see him." "Just be careful alright?" Sami nodded and waved off as he turned and kept on walking. Roman then turned his head back to Dean's hospital room and drew in a deep breath as he walked in.

Much to his surprise, Dean's condition didn't seem to improve since the last time he had seen him. He was still hooked up to the machines, the breathing tube was still lodged in his throat, and wires were still connected to his chest and his head to moniter his heart and brain waves. Roman drew in another breath and pulled up a chair next to Dean's beside. He listened for the soft breathing sounds that came from the breathing tube which told him he was still just bearly breathing. "I'm so sorry bro." Roman said in a soft voice as he wrapped his limp hand in his. "I don't know if you can hear me bro, but I need you to stay strong okay? Don't give up the fight Dean, you can get through this."

The Samoan man then let out a huge breath and was about to leave, when the sound of a soft groan reached his ears, and a soft tug softly squeezed his hand. "Dean?" He looked back down at his weak buddy as he saw Dean's soft hazel eyes flutter open and he let out another soft weak groan as his eyes darted sleepily across the room. He tried to speak but nothing would come out as he now noticed the breathing tube that was lodged in his throat. "Hang on bro, just give me a second. I'll get the doctor." Roman said as he hurried to the door and called out, "Doctor Rodgers! Hurry get in here! Dean's awake!"

Doctor Rodgers along with a team of nurses immediatly rushed in to assist as the all looked at Dean and couldn't believe their eyes. "I don't believe it." Whispered one nurse with long blonde hair. "It's a miracle." Said another one with long black hair. Doctor Rodgers then went over to moniter Dean's breathing and Dean's eyes widdened in fear as he tried to move but Roman held a firm hand on his arm. "Easy bro, easy." Roman said gently. "Relax Dean. He's just a normal doctor okay? your at a hospital alright not a mental institution, just relax." Dean let out a soft groan as he relaxed and Roman held onto his hand. "Doctor should we remove the breathing tube?" One of the nurses asked as Doctor Rodgers calculated the measures of his heart and brain waves. "I suppose so." He said finally. "I just hope we don't end up regretting it. I mean if he gets any worse, then we'l have to re-insert it back in. Go and get the anesthesia Nurse Candice." He said nodding over toward the nurse with long blonde hair as she nodded.

"Anesthesia?" Roman asked in concern. "He just woke up, isn't that going to make him sleepy again?" Doctor Rodgers shook his head. "No, it's just going to numb him up while we take out the breathing tube to make sure he doesn't feel any pain." Roman nodded slowly and looked at Dean. "Don't worry bro, everything's going to be okay alright? I'm right here." Dean nodded slowly and just closed his eyes as he squeezed Roman's hand slightly stronger then before. Nurse Candice with the blonde hair came back a few seconds later holding a needle and handed it to Doctor Rodgers who began administering it into Dean's IV tube. Immedialty Dean felt his muscle's relax as his grip loosened from Roman who looked at the doctor in alarm. "Relax Roman. That's just his muscle's relaxing from the medication." Doctor Rodgers explained as he prepared to take out the breathing tube.

Dean's eyes darted wildly around the room in fear as he felt the preasure of the breathing tube being removed, and Roman once again held onto his hand. "Easy bro. Take it nice and easy. It's okay." He said soflty into Dean's ear. Once the breathing tube was finally removed, Dean sat up in bed coughing and gasping for air as the nurses all held him back down." "Take it easy Dean." Roman said trying to keep him calm through his fit of hesteria and panic. "Easy bro easy. You need to stay calm alright? Your safe now, just relax."

After a few more moments of coughing, Dean finally calmed down and shut his eyes as the pain from his injuries now began to take effect. "We need a vial of morphine." Doctor Rodgers said to one of the nurses in the room. "Stat." The three nurses all nodded as they hurried out the room, while Doctor Rodgers wheeled the breathing machine out of the room and called out over his shoulder, "I hope you can find whoever did this attack on your friend Roman." Roman nodded and said, "I'm doing everything I can to find him, and when I do I plan on making him pay." Doctor Rodgers gave the Samoan man a final nod as he wheeled the machine out of the room and shut the door behind him.

Once Doctor Rodgers was out of the room, Roman turned to Dean as he opened his eyes and looked at him. "What happend?" He asked weakly as Roman drew in a deep breath and asked, "What's the last thing you remember?" Dean closed his eyes for a second as he thought about it. "Walking to the arena for my match with Owens...Then bright flash of light...someone grabbed me from behind...couldn't see his face." "What else Dean?" Roman asked. "What happened next?" Dean drew in a soft shaky breath and closed his eyes again. "Nothing...darkness...pain...lots of pain...extreme pain..."Suddenly he began to panic as he opened his eyes and Roman placed a hand on his shoulder. "Shh, it's okay bro." He said quietly. "It was too much Rome. Too much for my body to handle." He said quietly. "It's okay Dean." Roman said softly as Dean shook his head. ""I was scared Rome." He admitted with tears filling up in his eyes. "I don't like being scared or terrified. I'm supposed to be the unpredictable one who's not afraid to take risks. I'm the Lunatic Fringe. I'm supposed to be bulletproof, unbreakable, indestructible...But I was wrong...Very wrong."

TOO BE CONTINUED...Poor Dean! Will he find the way to recovery? Will Roman and the others track down this Tommy Mercer dude and make him pay for harming Dean? Is Tommy an inncocent pawn in someone else game to throw Roman off his game? Stay tuned to find out more. Chapter 7 will be up as soon as I can get it. Hope you enjoyed reading, and as always please review!
