The song for this chapter is "Unconditional" by Katy Perry

Monday night came around and the remaining members of The Shield were still fuming about Seth Rollins' actions on Smackdown. Emanating from Cleveland, Ohio, Raw kicked off with the majority of the male superstars standing on the stage awaiting an announcement from Triple H and Stephanie regarding the upcoming Money In The Bank pay-per-view.

The power couple entered the arena, pausing to clap Seth on the shoulder which made him smile, before they continued down to the ring to make their announcement.

Siren stood in the back with Dean and Roman, the three had been forbid to stand out on the stage by The Authority, for fear that they may start a brawl with Seth. And they were right.

"A Battle Royal for a spot in the ladder match, wow how original." Siren scoffed as Stephanie made the announcement. "Wonder how long it took creative to come up with that idea?"

Then Triple H had to bring up the superstars that had refused to conform and evolve, they would not be allowed to compete in the Battle Royal. Conveniently, those superstars were Dean, Roman and not surprisingly to Siren, John Cena. Apparently his actions last week, choosing to side with The Shield had condemned him to their fate.

Triple H then said that John's caring nature which had him coming to the aide of Dean and Roman was the nail in his coffin. He then said that they would give John a chance to earn his way into the ladder match, all he had to do was beat Kane in a stretcher match later that night.

"Sonofabitch!" Siren snapped as she watched the ambulance drive out and two paramedics unload a stretcher from the back. Her face fell as she saw the look on John's face. "This is all my fault. If I hadn't asked him to help you guys…"

"Hey, John knew what he was doing. He made his choice, it wasn't your fault Babygirl." Roman said trying to ease her guilt.

She nodded even though she still felt guilty, sitting down on the couch she prepared to watch the opening match of Dolph Ziggler vs. Seth Rollins. She watched intently, even though she hated Seth right now, she couldn't deny his abilities in the ring. She was proud to see that Dolph was holding his own, he nearly had Seth pinned several times throughout the match.

Seeing flashes of black out of the corner of her eye she turned her head to find Dean pacing the floor like a caged animal. She shook her head, knowing exactly what he was thinking. "Don't do it, Dean."

Dean stopped pacing in favor of giving her a glare, to which she nodded her head. "I understand you're pissed. He cost you your shot at the ladder match. But in all fairness, you let your anger cloud your judgment. That loss is on you."

His glare intensified making Roman wince from his seat, but Siren just shook her head, holding up her hands in defense. "I'm not defending him. I'm just warning you. You know damn well that if you go out there, The Authority will have your ass in a sling and with it, me and Roman as well. Just think before you act, for once."

As she turned back to the monitor to see Seth preparing for the win, she saw Dean storm out the door. "Fuck." Was all she said as she turned her attention to the match where Seth had just delivered a Curb Stomp to Dolph.

But before he could make the cover, Dean slid into the ring causing the disqualification and handing the win to Seth in the process. As Seth ran back up the ramp out of harms way, Dean picked up a mic from one of the techs. "This ain't gonna be over, Seth! This ain't gonna be over until I get my hands on that smug, corporate, extremely punchable face of yours. And I know you don't do anything without Triple H's permission these days but why don't you save yourself some time and get this over with, come down here and fight me like a man."

Dean drops the mic as he rips off his leather jacket, while Seth paces the stage deciding whether or not to take the bait. But before either one can make a move, Triple H comes across the titan-tron, presumably to save Seth's ass once again.

"Dean. Ambrose. Calm down, calm down. There's no need to go all crazy out there, come on. You wanna fight Seth Rollins? That's great. The good news is you like to fight, but Dean, I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you."

Siren rolls her eyes as Seth makes his way backstage, while Barrett's theme hits and he saunters down the ramp. "This is gonna be all bad. No pun intended."

She watches as Dean dominates the majority of the match, until of course as luck would have it, Seth shows up again standing on the announcer's table. "Slimy, sonofabitch."

She watches as Seth tries to distract Dean, but it fails as Dean turns to catch Barrett and knock him back across the ring. Seth then jumps up on the ring apron and is immediately clubbed in the face by Dean. She laughs as Seth hits the floor, followed by Barrett as he is tossed out of the ring. Dean then launches himself out of the ring in a suicide dive taking both men to the floor as the referee starts his ten count.

The referee counts Dean out giving the victory to Barrett, but Dean could care less as he follows Seth out into the crowd beating the man with punches.

As he hears the bell ringing Dean leaves Seth to run back into the ring, nailing Barrett with a clothesline to the back of his head. He then picks Barrett up and delivers "Dirty Deeds" laying the man out in the ring as his new individual theme hits.

Backstage Siren stands by as Roman tries to sweet-talk Vickie Guerrero into putting in a good word with The Authority to put him in the Battle Royal. "Hey Vickie, can we talk?"

She is carrying two coffee's for Triple H and Stephanie, she had been their little intern for the last several weeks. "Oh, really quick."

"Look Vickie, I know you're the woman, to put in a good word, to put me in the Battle Royal."

Vickie shakes her head, "Roman, they don't want you in it."

"What they want? Who cares what they want. If it was up to them, they'd have you running coffee for the rest of your career. And that's no way to treat a beautiful woman. And not only that, you're a Guerrero. That means something. You have to stand for that. But I could have it all wrong. You may wanna kiss their butt for the rest of your life. But if you're gonna do that, you better do it the right way. They're gonna want sweetener in that coffee for sure."

"Oh, my gosh, I forgot." She says setting the coffee's down on the crate beside Roman. "I'll be right back."

"Yup." Roman says as she walks away. He then motions with his finger to someone off camera and in walks Siren with a smirk on her face. The two turn their backs to the camera, the crowd speculating what they are doing.

Vickie walks back up as the two turn to her. "Thank you so much."

"Of course." Roman smiles.

"Hey Siren." Vickie smiles.

"Hey Vic." Siren smiled, she had Vickie had a lot of history, after all it was her husband that had trained Siren and had brought her to WWE.

"Hey Vickie, when are you gonna tell them to take this job and shove it?" Roman asks.

All Vickie can muster as a reply is a sneeze, which goes all over the cups in her hand. The three of them smile before Vickie walks away with the coffee. Behind her Roman and Siren smirk as they knock fists.

Less than half an hour later the two watch as Stephanie hurls all over Vickie after drinking the coffee that Vickie had given her. The two are rolling on the floor in laughter watching the monitor. The two decide to go see if Vickie is alright, she comes to the door still covered in Stephanie's vomit.

"What do you two want?" She snaps.

"Vickie, we all know that you're in hot water now and most likely Stephanie's gonna fire you next week. But can still do something to stand up to The Authority. And if they do fire you, at least you know that you did something positive for the WWE Universe. Make it official. Put me in the Battle Royal."

"Fine. You're in!" She screams before slamming the door in their faces.

Siren turns to Roman with a grin before the two high five.

After preparing for the match Roman and Siren stand in the upper corridor awaiting their entrance for the Battle Royal. All of the other contestants are in the ring ready to fight it out, but their confidence is slightly shaken as Roman's music booms throughout the arena. Siren had removed the "Shield" portion of the theme and it was now just the music. Roman said he didn't want to forget how they had gotten to where they were.

"From Pensacola, Florida, being lead by Siren, weighing 265 pounds, Roman Reigns."

Siren and Roman descend the stairs knocking fists with the fans as they make their way to the barricade. The two jump over, Siren taking her place ringside as Roman jumps into the ring and the fight begins.

Siren cheers on Roman as the match wears on, the number of superstars dwindling with every minute. Finally it comes down to Roman and Rusev. The two trade blows back and forth, each one wanting to win the right for a spot in the ladder match. Roman manages to lift Rusev up and deposit him over the ropes, but Rusev stays on the apron, until Roman nails him with a superman punch sending the big man to the floor and securing his victory.

Siren throws her fists into the air celebrating, she then climbs into the ring where Roman grabs her in a bear hug. "You did it big dog!"

Roman puts her down as the two climb up on the turnbuckles celebrating with the fans.

Backstage Siren pauses as she sees Renee Young interviewing none other than John Cena. Knowing she needs to speak with him she waits for the interview to finish.

"John, we've just witnessed Roman Reigns winning the Battle Royal. What's your reaction to that? And also, what's your reaction to your upcoming stretcher match?"

"Roman Reigns, earns a spot in the Money In The Bank ladder match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Roman Reigns wasn't even supposed to be in that Battle Royal. We just saw the impossible and I dig that. When the impossible is possible, when we're every which way but loose, because in Monday Night Raw anything can happen. Take me for example, tonight The Authority needs my help. They want a stretcher match and Kane doesn't have an opponent. So, they call on me to lend them a helping hand. Authority, I'd be glad to lend you a helping hand."

He holds his hand up for everyone to see. "Renee, take close look at this helping hand because there's a hidden message for The Authority right in the middle of it. Let's decode it, shall we."

He closes his thumb. "First, I'm gonna help Stephanie get another cup of coffee because I haven't seen Vickie Guerrero look that good in years."

He closes his pinkie. "Second, I'm gonna help the city of Cleveland as they watch Triple H eat a steaming sandwich of his own crap…" He puts down his ring finger, "…when I help Kane out of this arena in a stretcher.

"And finally…" Being the nice guy he is he chooses to put down his middle finger, leaving his pointer finger in the air. "…help myself to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the Money In The Bank ladder match because that is what's best for business. Ah, hah."

Siren is laughing as John finishes his interview and makes his way over as he sees her standing there. "What's up bestie?"

"I just wanted to apologize, J."

"For what?" He says looking confused.

"For getting you in trouble with The Authority. If I hadn't asked you for help, you wouldn't be in this match tonight."

"Hey, no worries. It wasn't your fault. I've got myself into plenty of trouble on my own. I made my choice to help The Shield. Don't blame yourself, T." He says pulling her in for a hug.

She smiles as they pull back, "You be careful out there. I'll be watching."

"I wish you wouldn't." He said sighing.

"Why not?"

"Because I know you'll come out to help and I don't want you anywhere near this match. So, promise me you'll stay back here."

Siren sighed, she didn't want to agree, but she knew that John wouldn't left her off the hook until she agreed. "Okay, fine. I don't like it, but I promise."

"Thanks T." John smiled pulling her in and kissing her forehead before he took off to prepare for his match.

Siren sat in the locker room biting her nails as she watched the stretcher match between John and Kane. Roman and Dean sat one either side of her giving her the support that she needed to watch this match.

Her anxiety didn't subside slightly until she watched John put Kane through the announce table with an AA. John finally manages to get Kane up onto his shoulders and deposit him onto a stretcher, but before he can wheel him up the ramp someone decides to interject himself into the match.

"Motherfucker!" Siren snaps before getting up and running out the door.

Dean and Roman who were talking amongst themselves heard her exclaim and run out the door, they had no idea why until they looked at the screen and saw Seth Rollins and Randy Orton attacking Cena.

"Sonofabitch! Siren!" Dean says as he takes off out the door knowing Siren is going after Seth.

Siren runs down the ramp and launches herself onto Seth's back locking her arms around his neck in a choke hold. Seth is clawing at her arms trying to dislodge her, but before she can choke him out she is grabbed from his back.

Siren thrashes as she finds herself in Randy Orton's arms. "Let go of me, Randy!"

"Sure thing doll." He says as he throws her over the other stretcher, she lands hard on the floor beside the barricade.

In the ring Seth hits John with a right hand before Randy levels him with an RKO. Seth climbs out of the ring and grabs a steel chair, climbing back in the ring he orders Orton to hold Cena up as he prepares to hit him. But another man, even more pissed off than the other two runs down the ramp.

Dean saw Orton toss Siren over the stretcher, saw her land hard on the ground and his blood boiled. He rushed down sliding into the ring and attacking Seth and Orton before throwing them both out of the ring.

But Kane gets back to his feet and grabs Dean around the throat, choke slamming him to the canvas. Kane then turned his attention to Cena who knocked the big man out of the ring, Cena then picked up the steel steps that Kane had brought into the ring earlier and threw them out nailing Kane in the face.

With Kane incapacitated Cena rolled out of the ring and loaded the massive man onto one of the stretchers, before rolling him up the ramp towards the line. But a few feet shy of the line Kane stood up, grabbing Cena around the neck he prepared for a choke slam, but Cena reversed it and picked Kane up giving him an AA onto the stretcher, then rolling him across the line for the victory.

But instead of celebrating his victory, John rushed down to check on Siren. Helping her up off of the floor he was surprised to find her smiling.

"Congrats J." She said clutching her back which had hit one of the support beams for the barricade.

"Thanks T." He said smiling back as she held up his hand.

Tasha was dead tired as she carried her bag through the backstage area, walking beside Joe and Jon heading to the car. All she wanted was to get back to the hotel, take a hot shower and collapse into bed.

"Tasha!"

She stopped hearing her name being called from behind her, she turned to find John Cena coming down the hallway. She smiled as he walked up to her, nodding to Jon and Joe.

"Can we talk for a minute?"

"Sure."

"Here Babygirl, I got this." Joe said as he took her duffel from her. "We'll meet you at the car."

Tasha smiled, "Thanks Lee." She turned back to John. "So what's on your mind?"

"I wanted to see if you were alright. You took a hard hit out there."

"I'm fine, just a little bruised."

John sighed, "I wish you wouldn't have come out there."

Tasha smiled at him laying her hand on his arm. "I had to. Seth is our problem, and he's going after you because you helped us. I couldn't stand back and do nothing. You know me."

John laughed, "Yeah I do know you. And that's why what I wanted to tell you was thank you. Thank you for standing by my side, for giving me another chance, even when I didn't deserve it. Tasha you are my best friend. Even after everything I put you through, you've always been there."

"Yeah, much to your girlfriend's disappointment." Tasha chuckled drawing a smile from John.

"That's the other thing I wanted to say. I spoke to Nikki, and I told her that despite everything she has said about you, that you are my best friend and you aren't going anywhere. I basically told her that she could either be with me and tolerate you, or leave."

Tasha grimaced, "Oh, I'll bet that went over like a ton of bricks."

John laughed, "Yeah, I got ignored for about a week. But she finally realized that if she wanted to be in my life, she had to do that beside you. You are a big part of my life, and she decided that she would rather learn to like you, than to lose me."

"Well, I'm glad to see she has a brain under all that beauty."

"Tash, I just want to thank you for always being there, even after everything I did to you, ruining our marriage, you're still here. Still backing me up and fighting beside me. We have a connection that no one and nothing can break. You and me are tied forever. I love you, T."

"I love you too, J." Tasha smiled before he pulled her into his arms.

Tasha smiled wide as one thought entered her mind, even through all of the things they had done to one another, all of the horrible things they had said, one thing remained clear. She and John had an unbreakable bond.

When they arrived back at the hotel the trio trudged up to their room, walking inside they all but collapsed on the beds.

Tasha knew if she didn't get up then she would fall asleep right then, and she desperately needed a shower. Her muscles were aching and tight, she needed to loosen them up before she could sleep. Opening up her suitcase she pulled out a pair of shorts and a tank top. While she was sorting through her duffel bag Joe's phone rang, she watched in amusement as Joe face-timed with his wife and daughter.

It was times like this that Tasha missed her family and her daughter, Kailynn. Because she was on the road so often her daughter spent much of her time with her grandparents. Kailynn's father had decided when she was a year old that he wanted nothing to do with either of them. So Tasha became a single parent, which suited her just fine. Normally she would have Kailynn travel with her, but since she had turned school age Tasha didn't want to pull her out of school so often.

She felt like a horrible parent being away from her daughter so much, but there were several other wrestlers just like she and Joe, that had families and couldn't always bring them along. Her parents were wonderful about taking care of their granddaughter, they never made her feel bad for pursuing her dreams with the WWE.

Tasha made it a point to call her daughter every night to speak with her and say goodnight. And as soon as she had a few days off she flew home to be with her little one, and as soon as summer started, Kailynn would be on the road with her again for 3 months.

"Hey Babygirl, Lina says hi." Joe told her referring to his wife.

Tasha smiled, "Tell her I said hi back and I miss her."

Joe relayed the message and then laughed, "Jojo wants to talk to her Auntie T."

Tasha again laughed as she walked over and sat down on the bed beside the big man. Joe turned the phone so she could see Jojo's smiling face on the screen. "Hi sweetie. I miss you."

"I miss you too, Auntie. When are you coming to visit again?" The young girl asked excitedly bouncing in her seat.

"Soon, I promise. As soon as we have a few days off I'll be there with your daddy."

"Okay. Can you bring monkey with you? I miss her too." Jojo said referring to Tasha's daughter.

"Of course I can. As soon as summer vacation starts I will bring her along with me. Okay?"

"Okay. Yay! I can't wait to see you."

"I can't wait to see you too, sweetie."

"Love you Auntie."

"Love you too munchkin."

Tasha smiled as she stood up and headed into the bathroom to take her shower. Twenty minutes later she emerged feeling 100% better than she had all night. Feeling exhaustion setting in she crawled into the bed beside Dean, the blonde man putting his arm around her as she curled into his side.

"Night crazy man." She smiled as Dean chuckled.

"Night darlin'."
