"Who?", Roman asked.
His front door opened and Dean came in, still in his uniform.
"So what's up? What happened with Sky and Willow?", Dean asked, removing his vest before sitting down.
Seth told them everything. Leaving out the part about his date with Willow. He didn't need to hear the, way to go dude, speech from Dean.
"They called Bray and his boys, the dark ones?", Roman asked.
Seth nodded.
"Dark ones", they turned to see Quinn.
She had a terrified look on her face.
"Well, they used her words first and then translated them for me, but yes", Seth said.
Roman stood and Quinn backed up. He didn't like the way she was looking at him and he didn't know what she was thinking.
"Do you know who that is?", Dean asked slowly.
She looked at Dean, before biting her bottom lip. Roman took a step towards her and she backed up again, till her back hit the wall and stopped her.
"No hurt. You know me Quinn. I would never hurt you", Roman said, holding his hands up.
"Why were you talking about the dark ones?", she asked.
"What did she say Seth?", Dean asked.
"Um", he grabbed the papers he had printed out of the words they could translate.
"Quinn, I love you, remember that", Roman said.
She took steps towards him. He held his hand out to her and she took it. He slowly pulled her into him. He sighed and kissed the top of her head.
"Willow and Sky had those same looks", Seth said.
Quinn felt protected in Roman's arms. She did trust him, but at hearing the words, dark ones, it made her think twice about trusting them. Did they know who they were? What they did to the women in their small family?
"Ok, so the words I was able to get are. Were, you, the, and dark ones", Seth said.
"You suck as a translator", Dean said.
Roman gave a small laugh while he rubbed Quinn's back.
"Ok, back to the words. Does she think we are them?", Roman asked.
"Could be why she looked completely terrified of us", Dean said.
Roman looked down at Quinn and squeezed her tighter to him. Seth looked down and saw Roman's photo albums. He quickly grabbed one and flipped through the photos. Finding the last one they had taken with Bray and his guys before the fight. He took it out of the flap and stood. Quinn tilted her head a bit at his sudden excitement. Roman left his arm around her waist. Seth turned the photo towards her. She gasped and took it. Why was Roman standing near the dark ones or some of them? Was her first thought.
"Not you", she said softly.
She looked up at him, hurt.
"What is it?", he asked, he tried to place his hand against her cheek, but she moved away.
She shook her head and her eyes were welling up with tears.
"No", she cried.
"Shit", Seth said.
Dean and Roman looked at him.
"What?", Roman asked.
Seth bent down and grabbed the photo. He showed it to Dean and Roman. Bray, Bo, Matt, and Axel were in the photo. Along with Erick, Luke, and Kane. Roman took a few steps towards Quinn and took a hold of her wrists.
"Quinn, listen to me. No. Hurt. Never. I promise", he said, almost begging her to understand what he was saying.
That damn word. Promise.
"Give her a second Rome", Seth said behind him.
"No hurt?", she asked.
Dean stood beside Roman.
"Never kid", Dean said.
Seth took Roman's other side.
"Safe", Seth said.
Quinn relaxed. Seth showed her the photo again.
"Dark ones?", he asked.
Quinn nodded. Seth pointed to one guy and she shook her head no. Then another and another. Till he got to Bo. She nodded her head quickly. Seth nodded and circled Bo's head. She noticed what he was doing and took the photo and marker. She circled the heads of the men she knew.
Handing back the photo.
"Rape", she said.
Roman instantly got pissed.
"Hurt. You?", Roman asked.
If she said yes, he would grab his car keys and drive to the Wyatt compound and beat the shit out of all of them. Quinn was going to answer, but Roman pushed himself more into her space.
"Did he hurt you? Which one? Tell me now", he said angry.
Dean pulled Roman away from Quinn. She was confused by Roman's sudden anger towards her. She looked from Dean to Seth. Seth wrapped his arm around her.
"Protect?", he tried.
She shook her head no. He sighed. He pointed to the photo.
"Hurt. You?", he asked, pointing from the photo to her.
She shook her head no.
"Other women", she said.
She could tell Seth didn't know what she said. She licked her lips, trying to remember the other words her grandmother had taught her. She brushed her hair back.
"Girls", she said quickly and nodding.
"Girls? You. No. Girls. Yes.", he said.
She nodded. She's never felt more exhausted in her life before.
"Roman, relax. They never touched her, but I can't say that for other girls.", Seth said.
Dean went over to Quinn.
"Sky?", he asked.
Quinn smiled and shook her head no. Seth swallowed and blushed.
"Willow?", he asked.
"No", Quinn said.
She noticed him sigh.
"Love?", she asked them.
Dean and Seth quickly rambled on and on. She looked between them like they had completely lost their minds.
"You guys are scaring her", Roman said.
They both looked at him before looking at Quinn. They sent her a small smile and she returned it.
"But we didn't scare her as bad as you did, you caveman", Dean said.
Roman met her eyes. She lifted her hand and he smiled before taking it. He leaned down and kissed her.
"I'm sorry", he whispered.
She pressed her nose against his and he laughed softly.
"If this works for you two, I think it can work for me and Willow too", Seth said.
Dean raised a brow.
"You and Willow?", Dean asked.
Seth sighed.
"I sort of asked her out. Well, I see it as a date, but, I don't know if she does. Anyway, I'm seeing her tomorrow", Seth said.
"You dog. I see why you kept it out of your story. Way to go dude", Dean said, holding up his hand for a high five.
Dean had taught Quinn what those were, so she walked over and high fived him. The guys laughed.
"Ok, back to what we were doing. What are we going to do about Bray and his guys? I mean, we could tell our dads, but that would mean", Seth stopped.
"Telling them about Quinn", Roman finished.
Seth nodded.
"Or", Dean started.
Roman and Seth looked at him.
"I could borrow some cameras from the guard house. We can set up the recording here at Roman's house. Use the guards wifi.", Dean shrugged.
"But won't they get recorded to the guards files?", Seth asked.
"No. I can reroute our recordings to a private server using Roman's email address and the id tag on the cameras", Dean said.
"And he calls you a nerd", Roman mumbled to Seth.
"I heard that", Dean said.
"So when do we do this and where do we set them up?", Seth asked.
"When do you go running again?", Dean asked.
"I have a date tomorrow. So, the day after tomorrow", Seth said.
Dean nodded.
"Then we do it then. I have to work, but Roman can go running with you. You guys set them up and hope we catch them", Dean said.
Roman nodded.
"You know how to connect them, right?", Dean asked Seth.
Seth nodded.
"Who do you think set up their network?", Seth asked.
Dean rolled his eyes.
"Nerd", Dean said.
"And proud of it. So once they are connected to the wifi", Seth said.
"I will be behind the computers. Once you turn those on, they will pop up on the network. I will reroute their connection to Roman's laptop. Which reminds me, I need your computers address. Don't forget to take your laptop.", Dean said.
Roman nodded. After Dean got what he needed, he grabbed his vest and car keys.
"I'll get the cameras tomorrow", Dean said.
Roman walked Seth and Dean to the door. He locked up and turned to see Quinn smiling at him. He placed his hands against her cheeks.
"Beautiful", he said softly.
She had learned that word.
"Tired?", he asked.
She shook her head no.
"Hungry?", he asked.
She shook her head no again. She pulled him down and kissed him. His hands moved down to her butt and lifted her. She wrapped her legs around his waist.
