The song for this chapter is "Love Is A Battlefield" by Pat Benatar


On Sunday, the group walked into the arena together for Battleground. Tasha dropped Kailynn off with the divas as always, the girls excited to have her there with them.

Returning to the locker room Tasha changed into her gear before joining the boys on the couch. First up was Joe's cousins Jimmy and Jey Uso vs. Luke Harper and Eric Rowan. The Uso's won a hard fought match, after hitting Harper with a double Samoan splash from the top rope.

Up next was Paige vs. AJ for the Divas Championship, which AJ retained after hitting Paige with the Shining Wizard drop kick.

Next up was Rusev with Lana vs. Jack Swagger with Zeb Colter. Rusev gets the win via count out after he slammed Jack Swagger into the ring post knocking him out.


Siren stood behind the curtain with Dean, their match was up next. Smirking she held something up beside her and Dean could only laugh and shake his head. Seth was already out in the ring awaiting them and Siren knew he was pissed because Dean had attacked him earlier on in the night. Surely he would only be more angered by what she held in her hand.

It was true that Dean had been thrown out of the building by Triple H, but being as Siren was very good friends with WWE security and techs, she had managed to get him back into the venue without Triple H or Seth Rollins being aware.


"Since my opponent has so very irresponsibly been ejected from the building—I have come out here to accept my victory via forfeit. I want to be announced, I want to be announced as the winner and I want my hand raised. Do you understand that? You understand that? He's not coming out here. Let's do it right now. Announce me as the winner." Seth snapped as he threw down the microphone.

Just after the announcement that Seth won, his music was interrupted by another's theme, the arena going pitch black as a hauntingly beautiful voice came on.

"A Siren's song can summon a tempest, a storm of mythical scale, that even the bravest of men cannot escape."

Ah, ah, ah, ahhhh.

Ah, ah, ah, ahhhh.

The black stage is lit up by a blinding white light as heavy rock music begins to play.

I told you once, I told you twice, you didn't play very nice

Asked you aboard, you pulled a sword, you took kindness for weakness

I think that I deserve a little more respect than that boy

That's not the way you greet a Siren

You're gonna learn your lesson

Oh, just who do you think you are?

You've gone to far

Sink or swim man overboard

Believe me it's a lesson you can not afford

We'll really give you something to remember

When you play with fire you are sure to burn

Sink or swim man overboard

It's war!

Blue and red pyro shoots off as Siren steps out onto the stage, smiling she holds up a mic, her right hand still holding something behind her back. "Hey Sethy. Miss me?" Her answer is simply a glare from the man which only serves to make her smile wider as she sees him trying to hold back a grin. So, she turns her attention to the WWE Universe. "I don't know about you guys, but my new entrance theme is aaaaamazing!" The crowd screams in response and she nods. "I know right. So cool."

"What do you want, Siren?" Seth snarks bringing her attention back to him.

"Well, being as you won your match tonight, regardless of the fact that it was by forfeit, I thought that I would bring you a little gift." She smirked as he looked at her quizzically. "Now, I know what you're thinking, Seth. Why would I of all people, bring you a gift. Well, the simple answer is, this particular gift, is going to bring me, so much more joy than you."

Siren pulls her hand from behind her back, clenched in her fist is the kendo stick she used on him and Kane Thursday night during Smackdown. "Like it? I call it my "Seth be good stick."

"You wouldn't dare." Seth seethed, even though he was trying not to laugh.

"Oh, yes, Seth. I would. I know you didn't think you'd be walking out of Battleground without a fight, did you?" She tossed down her mic and ran to the ring, sliding under the ropes she saw Seth roll out the other side and run over by the ramp. She stood up smiling, Seth was puzzled, why was she smiling about him escaping? Siren picked up the mic he had discarded, bringing it to her lips.

"Oh, Seth, you thought I was talking about fighting me? No. Him." She grinned wide as she pointed behind Seth, who turned in time to be tackled by Dean Ambrose.

Dean grabs Seth and slams him back first off of the barricades, he then tosses him out into the crowd. He stalks Seth through the audience until he is thrown back over the barricade by Seth. He gets up and grabs Seth who is standing on top of the barricade and slams him down onto the Spanish announce table. Dean pummels Seth with left and rights before security comes down to pull him off of Rollins.

He manages to get loose from security and jumps across the announce tables to tackle Seth once again. This time security grabs both men and separates them, until they get loose and go after one another again. This time Triple H comes down to help subdue Ambrose, security manages to grab Dean, carrying him towards the ramp.

In the ring Siren still stands, she sees Seth look up at her and she shakes her head. "Letting daddy fight your battles for you again, huh, Seth?"

Her words have the desired effect on Seth, lighting a fire under him as he runs over and jumps on Ambrose, knocking the security guards away. The guards then break up into two groups, one subduing Rollins and the other carrying Dean up the ramp towards the back. But again Seth gets loose and races up the ramp, tackling Dean and the guards to the floor.

Finally the guards manage to get Dean backstage, Triple H and Seth walk over and stand on the ramp. Down in the ring Siren leans on the kendo stick, smirking up at the two. As they walk backstage she waves her fingers at Seth who gives her an icy glare. Siren turns to the crowd, holding up the stick the Universe cheers for her. Giving a small bow she then rolls out of the ring and heads to the back, high-fiving fans as she goes.


Backstage she returns to the locker room where Roman shakes his head at her while smiling. "You two are gonna get us all fired."

Siren shrugs with a smile, "But it's gonna be so much fun till then, Rome."

She sits down on the couch beside him to watch Chris' match against Bray Wyatt. Feeling tension in her shoulder she rotates it trying to get the soreness out. Swinging that kendo stick at people uses muscles you never knew you had.

Roman sees her prodding at her shoulder, moving his left leg, he picks her up and deposits her on the couch in between his legs. "Damn Babygirl, you are full of stress knots." He remarks, then proceeds to massage the knots out of her shoulders and neck.

"You have no idea." She says quietly so that he doesn't hear her.

Chris manages to secure the win against Bray with a codebreaker.


Outside the arena Seth, still in his wrestling gear is walking with two security guys towards his car, when he shakes his head and stops. He turns back to the two guards, "Guys look. Thank you. I don't need security alright, I'm fine. I got this. Thank you very much. You're done. Get out of here. Thank you."

The guards leave him and he starts walking to his rental car, when he pauses, an uneasy feeling washing over him. Looking around Seth begins to get paranoid as he feels like someone is watching him. And he's right. The trunk on the car behind him pops open and Dean quietly climbs out of it holding a tire iron. Running up he tries to clock Seth with it, but the two-tone haired man ducks avoiding the hit. Seth tries to run away to the car, but Dean grabs him slamming him first off of the car door, then off of the ambulance parked next to it.

Seth tries to climb over a fence, but Dean grabs him by the waist and throws him down onto the hood of the car. Seth manages to kick Dean off of the other side of the car, giving him a chance to climb into the car and drive away to avoid Dean's wrath.


Back inside Siren and Roman laugh as they watch Dean beat up on Seth. Next up is the Intercontinental championship match, the winner ending up being The Miz, which no one was excited about.

Getting up to prepare for their fatal 4-way championship match, Siren smiles at Roman. "Thanks, Rome."

"Anytime Babygirl. You've done it for me tons of times."

The two split up, Roman going up to the balcony while Siren waits behind the curtain. Being as she has two clients in the match, she didn't want to pick sides and walk down with just one of them. Randy Orton is introduced first, followed by Kane.


Again Siren's theme plays as she walks out on to the stage, waving to the fans she raises her microphone. "Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to my clients. First, he is the Big Dog, Roman Reigns!"

Roman descends the stairs, climbing into the ring he stands and nods to Siren.

"And last, but definitely not least, he is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena!" Siren smiles as he comes out behind her, saluting the fans the two run down to the ring, John holding the titles high.

As expected the match against the four is brutal, Siren stands outside of the ring wincing as John and Roman are hit repeatedly. By the end of the match all four men are spent, their energy depleted. Kane sets Roman up for a choke-slam, but the big man avoids it, instead hitting him with a spear. He goes to pin Kane, only for Randy to break up the count and hit Roman with an RKO. John then slides back into the ring picking up Randy and delivering an AA to Randy on top of Kane. John then pins Kane for the win, retaining the titles.

Siren climbs in the ring holding up John's arm, "Congrats, J. You earned it."

"Thanks, T." John smiled back.

As John left the ring Siren climbed down and walked over to Roman who was sitting on the floor in front of the announcer's table. "Hell of a job, Rome." She held her hand out to him.

"I tried." Roman said, taking her hand and helping himself to his feet.


After gathering their things, the group returned back to Joe's house where again Galina had dinner awaiting them. Since it was late Joe and Tasha put the girls to bed, before everyone headed to bed as well. However Tasha found that she couldn't sleep, after an hour of tossing and turning she got up. Pulling on a pair of sweats and her Shield sweatshirt she quietly made her way downstairs and poured herself a glass of wine. Opening the back door she sat down in one of the deck chairs, enjoying the view of the moon reflecting off of the water.

Pulling her phone out of her pocket she swiped open the screen, scrolling through her contacts she found Colby's number and pressed send. Holding the phone up to her ear she hoped that she wasn't waking him up. After three rings Colby's tired voice came over the line and Tasha cursed.

"Hey baby."

"Hey. I'm sorry to wake you."

"I wasn't sleeping." He admitted. "I've been staring at the ceiling, debating to call you, but I didn't want to wake you up."

Tasha chuckled, "Two of a kind, aren't we?"

"Yeah, I guess we are. Tonight was fun. I had to try so hard not to laugh when you brought out your "Seth be good stick", that was a good one." He laughed.

"Thanks. I could tell you were trying not to laugh. Sorry."

"Don't be. I miss bantering with you." He sighed.

Tasha frowned, she could hear the sad tone of his voice and she knew he was frowning as well. "We're gonna fix this, Colby. And by the next time we're back in Florida, you're gonna be here at Lee's with us."

On the other end of the phone Colby ran a hand through his hair, he didn't know how she could be so optimistic about things. But it was something he loved about her. She could look at the most dire situation and find the silver lining hidden in the darkness. "How can we fix this? Every show that passes I have to do something that drives Joe and Jon away more."

"We have to make them separate themselves from their characters. They need to remember that what happens in that ring and on camera, is our job. If we all can't learn to keep our personal and show lives separate, there's no hope for any of us. Joe will be the easier one, it's Jon we have to worry about."

"He hates me."

"He doesn't hate you, Colby. He hates that his brother lied to him. I can fix things with Joe, but it's up to you to repair things with Jon."

Colby sighed, "Okay. I'll try."

"That's all we can do. I'm gonna help you all I can, Colby. We're gonna fix this, together you and I can do anything."

"I'm starting to believe that." Colby smiled, he felt like with Tasha by his side, he really could do anything. "Get some sleep, baby, I'll see you tomorrow."

Tasha smiled, hearing Colby call her baby seemed to chase all of her demons away. "Goodnight my heart."
