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 appreciated.
Previously on Once Revived, Twice Broken - "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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
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 softly 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."
"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."
NOW...
Chapter 7 - Catch Me If You Can
The sounds of moaning mixed with loud anguished cries of pain was enough to wake up Roman who didn't even realized he had fallen asleep in the chair next to Dean's beside. Roman awoke with a start to find Dean in a frightful fit of sleep, tossing and turning while moaning in pain as though he was trying to wake himself up but couldn't. "Easy bro, easy." Roman said softly placing a hand on Dean's arm while gently trying to shake him awake. "Come on bro wake up." He whispered as Dean suddnly shot himself awake with a huge gasp of surprise, which quickly faded as he squeezed his eyes shut due to the pain surrounding his entire midsection.
Letting out small pants of breath, he opened his eyes and looked at Roman. "Sorry." He managed to croak out through clenched teeth as he waited for the pain to die down. Roman shook his head as he sat back down in the chair and replied, "It's cool man, don't even worry about it." Glancing at his watch, he could tell that it was just after five o'clock in the evening, and as he pulled out his cell phone to check for any messages, he realised he hadn't heard from either Jimmy or Jey and now he was beginning to get worried.
"Everything okay?" Dean asked weakly with a soft groan as he tried to shift his weight to a more comfortable position on the bed. Roman looked up from his phone, placed it back in the pocket of his pants and just shrugged his shoulders. "Nah it's nothing, I just haven't heard from the Uso's in a while that's all." He said while noticing the look in Dean's eyes. "Bro, you know you can tell me anything if something's bothering you right?" Dean nodded slowly and replied, "Same goes for you Rome. You don't have to feel like you need to hide anything from me. What's going on?" Roman drew in a deep breath and explained the situation to him including about Sami too. When he was finished, he noticed the look in Dean's eyes and immediatly regretted telling him.
"Sami's here?" He asked finally wincing slightly in pain as he took in a breath. Roman nodded slightly in response. "He didn't cause any trouble for you did he?" "Not exactly." The Samoan man replied as Dean let out another soft groan. "Sorry I didn't tell you about him before Rome." He finally admitted while letting out a small sigh. "It's okay bro." Roman said as he patted Dean lightly on the arm. "I know how you don't like to talk about your past much. So really, it's okay." Dean let out a small breath of relief and closed his eyes briefly, only to open them again when he heard the sound of Roman's cell phone vibrating. "That Jimmy and Jey?" He asked as Roman nodded and answered. "What did you guys find out?"
"Get this Rome, the guy that's on the security tapes isn't you." Jey said from the other end as Roman shook his head and replied, "I kind of got that already cuz get to the point." "No, we mean that whoever it is is wearing a long wing and the same ring gear you do." Came Jimmy's voice now. "So I'm being set up?" Roman asked with a slight laugh. "I knew it. I knew the Authority would try something like this. Got any idea who it is yet?" "Not yet exactly, but we're looking very closely cuz." Roman nodded. "Alright well, when you do, make sure you chek in with me alright?" "Will do Rome." Said Jey.
There was a brief moment of silence between them, and Roman could hear strange sounds coming from the other end of the line and immediatly began to worried. "You guys still there?" He asked. "Yeah, sorry cuz, we're re-checking the security tapes again so that we could get a better view of this guy." Replied Jimmy. Another brief moment of silence hung in the air until Roman heard Jey suddenly cry out, "Holy shit! Roman the guy on the security tapes is-" Suddenly there were sounds of fighting coming from the other end as Roman now stood up from the chair with the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end in fear. "Jimmy? Jey?" There were more sounds of fighting from the other end before the line went dead, and Roman immediatly began to get a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. Something wasn't right and he knew it.
"What's wrong?" Dean asked sensing Roman's obvious fear and distress as he placed his phone back into the pocket of his jeans and shook his head while drawing in several deep calming breaths. "Roman? What's wrong bro?" Dean asked again as Roman turned to look at him and just shrugged his shoulders. "Look, I got to go and take care of something back at the arena alright? I'll be back soon bro don't worry."
"What do you mean don't worry?" Dean replied shifting around on the bed slightly while wincing as he rested his left arm over his injured ribs. "You expect me not to worry Rome? Someone's obviously trying to take us out and you expect me not to worry? What if something happens to you? What am I going to do then?" Roman shook his head and gently placed a hand on Dean's shoulder. "Easy Dean," The Samoan man said softly. "Nothing's going to happen to me alright? I promise." "I'm holding you to that bro." The Lunatic Fringe replied as he and Roman bumped their fists together and smiled at each other as Roman then dug into the other side of his pants pocket and pulled out Dean's cellphone and handed it to him.
"Where did you find it?" He asked catching the phone with his good arm. "It was lying close by where I found you in a pool of blood." Roman replied quickly taking a quick glance at the door. "I cleaned it off for you so don't worry." "Thanks Rome." Dean said with a soft smile as a sudden wave of pain flashed through him and he winced. "No problem Dean-O." He said mirroring the Lunatic's smile as he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. "I got to go, but keep your phone on in case I call alright? I'm getting close to figuring out who did this to you bro." "Make sure you make them pay for me." Dean called as Roman nodded and headed out the door. "I'll be back Dean." He said as he shut the door behind him.
Once he knew the door was shut, Roman let out a breath he hadn't realized he had been holding as he took hs phone back out of his pocket just as it vibrated again in his hand. Looking at the caller ID, he saw that it was from an unknown number. Normally he would let it go to voice mail, but yet, something told him it was urgent that he answered, so he decided to listen to the nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach and answered. "Hello? This is Roman Reigns."
At first all there was was dead silence which lasted for several seconds before a deep voice came on the other end. "Why don't you come on down to the ring and see your family Roman?" "Who are you?" Roman replied trying to hold back his anger as he gripped the sides of his phone tightly in his fist. "Sorry Roman." Came the deep voice again taunting him while sending chills of fear down the Samoan man's spine. "Can't tell that to you just yet. That would be too easy." "What have you done with my family?" Roman asked this time his voice laced with venomous anger. "You better tell me where they are and what the hell you've done to them."
"What's wrong Roman?" The deep voice taunted again. "Don't you want to see your cousins again? Cause I'll tell you what, they don't look so good. It looks at though their both going to be sick." A short taunting laugh was then heard as Roman sucked in a hissing breath of anger through his nose and said, "If Jimmy and Jey are hurt I swear to god, I'll find out who you are and kill you myself." He growled angrily. "Careful now big dog." The voice taunted again. "You wouldn't want to say something you'll end up regretting now would you? I mean if something happens to you what does that mean for Dean?" "How the hell do you know about Dean?" Roman asked his voice still laced with absolute anger. "Who the hell are you?" "Why don't you just see if you can figure it out instead big dog?" The voice said with a taunting laugh. "What's the matter?" Roman retorted with a taunt of his own. "Too afraid to face me on your own, so you gotta use and hurt the people that are close to me just to face me?"
There was a brief moment of silence that hung in the air as Roman turned and looked around to make sure that he was alone. "Catch me if you can Roman." The voice replied again a few seconds later as cold chills of fear ran down his spine. "Catch me...if you can." And with that the line went dead and Roman was left alone leaning against the door of his best friend's hospital room filled with more questions then answers.
Was this guy the one who hurt Dean? Was this Tommy Mercer? If so, why would he try so hard to go after Roman? Could it have been that it wasn't really Dean that Tommy had been after this entire time? Could it have been Roman that he had been wanting and Dean just happened to in the wrong place and the wrong time? Whatever the case was, Roman knew he had to figure out what exactly was going on before somebody else he cared about wound up hurt or worse...Dead.
TOO BE CONTINUED...Wow! Talk about intense! Who is this mysterious guy that's contacting Roman?
Could it really be Tommy? or someone else who has it out for the Big Dog?
Will Roman find Jimmy and Jey unharmed?
