Chapter Twenty One
Angel made her way through the backstage area of the Pepsi Center in Denver Colorado. She had just gotten of the meeting for tonight's show, which finalized and added any last-minute changes to the schedule that came over the weekend. However, just like any day, that could all change in a drop of a hat during the show, which was starting soon.
Even as she was hurrying down the hall to make sure that Roman was ready for his match with Mark Henry, her mind wasn't on tonight's show. She was looking around for one of the boys and was surprised that she saw none of them. After this weekend, she had almost come to expect seeing one of them waiting for her.
It started when they were in Arizona, she got up and messaged Roman about what guys to meet them at. Seconds later, she got an answer from Roman telling her he would walk down with her, because he hadn't left yet.
Instantly she realized that this was odd, but she shook it off. That was until she saw Roman in the lobby of the hotel. The man was already dressed in his gym clothes and she could see the sweat stains were already starting to form. So, either he was working out in his room or he had been lying about not already being at the gym and came running back to the hotel just to walk with her.
That was only the first time she found herself escorted by one of the members of the Shield. After their match at the house show on Saturday, she went to run for the waters and meds, when Seth insisted on going with her. He had told her that he wanted to stop at catering to get something to eat. However, when they got to catering, Seth seemed to have completely forgotten that he had told her he wanted something and when she reminded him, he looked at her like she had just spoke in riddles before quickly grabbing an apple off the table.
This was how her weekend went, all weekend long.
She realized quickly that they were trying to protect her from running into the Wyatt's alone. What she couldn't figure out was why they were hiding it. Which might have worked, if it wasn't for the one the time they had ran into the Wyatts; Dean was her 'babysitter' this time, and they were walking from her hotel room to the car that they rented for the trip. Halfway through the lobby, she noticed Dean's head whip around and his eyes landed on Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. The two men were standing in the corner, looking as if they were waiting for their leader.
Although Dean didn't stop or say anything to the two men, she could feel the tension roll off him as he practically pushed her out of the lobby, and after that it wasn't hard to put two and two together.
"In coming." She gave a knock on the locker room door.
"You're good."
Opening the door, she looked around at the Superstars that were slowly getting themselves ready for the show. Her eyes stopped on John Cena who was sitting on one of those built in seats of the lockers. It looked like he was going over whatever he was saying to the WWE Universe at the start of tonight's show, which happened to be the main think that was brough up at the meeting today.
John had stated that he had something to say to the other Superstars that he would be facing in the Elimination Chamber; so Stephanie and Hunter made sure that everyone was ready for the to be an impromptu fight between John and at least one of the Superstars that he would be calling out, she had her money on Randy Orton.
"Hey." Seth's voice caught her attention. She turned towards the man that was buckling up his tactical vest. "How was your meeting?"
"Same old, same old." Angel smiled at him. "Just going over last-minute changes and the 'final' line up. We have; Fandango verses Santino Marella, Roman verses Mark Henry, Jack Swagger verses Kofi, Big E in a Handicap Match verse 3MB, The Wyatts verses Los Matadores and Sin Cara, Jey Uso verse Billy Gunn and then the main event which is Sheamus verses Randy Orton."
Roman nodded his head as she read the lineup off her phone. "Sounds good."
While the boys when over the game plan for Roman's match, a crew member stuck his head into the locker room and called for the twenty-minute mark until show time.
Twenty minutes. Angel nodded as she took up a spot at the table across from Dean who was taping up his hands. Having little time to finalize some thing for the weekend, Angel pulled out her laptop and placed it on the table.
"The Wyatts didn't try to pull anything did they?" Dean asked as he flex his hands to check his tape work.
"Huh, oh no." She shook her head. "I didn't even see them."
"Promise?" Roman raised his brow at her.
"Promise."
Roman nodded his head as the TV in the locker room kicked on and instantly John Cena's theme music echoed over the speaker.
And like that everyone's attention turned towards the TV as both boos and cheers covered over the lyrics as John made his way down the ramp and towards the ring.
John Cena looked as fired up as she knew he was going to be, and though she seemed to have something on his mind, he still played with crowd. He was one of the few Superstars that could get the reaction that he wanted from the crowd. She knew that the fans would be furious if they found out.
As soon as the mic was in his hand, John started to talk about the 'Road to WrestleMania' and about how he and Daniel Bryan beat Randy Orton the last couple of Monday Night Raws. The words made her smile, ever since she was little, she loved listening to John on the mic. He was one of the few that was able to pump up anything. Heck, he probably could get her excited to watch paint dry.
Just then the deep drumming of The Real Americans' theme played over John's words and Cesaro and his manager Zeb Colter came out on the stage. Raising an eyebrow, she watched as Cesaro walked down to the ring talking about how he beat Randy on Smackdown, he also brought up the fact that he wasn't only going to become the new face of WWE but the new face of America.
John answered the man by inviting him into the ring before telling him that he shouldn't 'write check with his mouth that his body can't cash,' Though just as Cesaro brought the mic to his face, Sheamus's theme song started.
"What on Earth is going on?" She crossed her arm as she found herself glued to the TV.
"It's just a bunch of men coming out to wag their dicks about and compare sizes." Roman sighed. She let out a small snicker as she shook her head at Roman's comment.
On the TV, Sheamus made his way down to the ring and talk about knocking everyone's teeth out with a Brogue Kick. Which only led to Christian coming out with a mic in his hand.
"Maybe on Smackdown you should have saved your Brogue Kick for Dean Ambrose, Sheamus." Christian smirked at the pale man.
Angel looked back at Dean at the mention of his name and tried to gage his reaction. Though the man wasn't watching what was happening in on the TV, she could tell that he was certainly listening to it, due to the fact that he was shaking his head with a smirk.
I hear voices in my head, they council me, they understand, they talk to me.
She turned her attention back to the TV when the theme song that she was expecting to hear started. Taking a deep breath, she prepared herself to see Randy Orton come out onto the stage.
As her eyes landed on the man, she swallowed the thump in her throat. However, she was proud of herself, even though she wasn't completely over what happened four weeks ago, she was growing accustomed to seeing Randy again.
In fact, when they were at the airport on Sunday after the house show, she had a close encounter with the man himself. He was making his way to the gate, while she ran off to grab a quick snack before boarding. And much to her surprise, she didn't freeze up at all; though she did slow her steps and moved quite a bit out of the way. But she managed to keep on her merry way and tried to act like she didn't even notice Randy at all.
"God will someone please shut that man up." Dean sighed from behind her, as Randy went on and on about how he was the face of the WWE and how he beat each and every one of the Superstars in the ring at the moment.
And just like that Daniel Bryan's theme started to blast through the arena. Well that's one way to shut him up. She smirked as Daniel Bryan hyped up the crowd and ran down his opponents saying that no one was going to be talking about 'The face of the WWE', 'The Champ', 'Fella', 'We The People', or 'One More Time'. Which were all his opponents' chants and sayings. No, the arena would be chanting one word. "Yes!"
With that he started a loud yes chant that seemed to echo into the backstage area, only to be cut off by Kane's theme.
"He doesn't look happy." Michael Cole's voice came from the TV and she agreed. Kane was slowly making his way into the ring and he looked anything but happy.
"Now that I have your attention, gentlemen." Kane paused slightly as a 'You Sold Out' chant started. "The Authority had given me the chance to rectify certain mistakes that I've made recently by leaving me in charge tonight." He snarled at the crowd as the chant grew louder and louder.
"This can't be good." Angel sighed as she watched Kane climb up onto the apron. "Now we all know that our face of WWE Randy Orton will be in action tonight against Sheamus, so in all fairness to our champion, I'm going to have the rest of you in action tonight as well." Kane said as he pointed at Cesaro. "Cesaro, you will be going one on one with…John Cena." The crowd popped at the news.
"That leaves Christian and Daniel Bryan." Another pop of the crowd. "And I'm going to stay here at ringside and enjoy a bird's eye view, because the two of you are squaring off right now!"
"Well it looks like my match had been pushed back." Roman sighed as the TV went to Cole talking about the lineup tonight.
"Yeah, I guess so." She turned away from the TV. One thing she was quickly learning about the job as manager, things change in an instant here at WWE and you have to prepared for it.
D.D.D
Dean grumbled as he turned away from the TV. He didn't care to watch the match between Daniel Bryan and Christian that Kane had just thrown together. He was already in a bad mood and watching Kane throw his power around wasn't helping.
Ever since he woke up this morning, he felt like shit. And it wasn't because of the normal things, no he was pissed at himself because he wasn't excited for his best friend's match today. Roman was versing Mark Henry today and normally he would want to see Roman do great and come out on top, but not this time.
Not after last week, not after the match that he had against Mark Henry. He hated it but he found himself hoping that Roman would lose; not because he didn't want his brother to succeed or because he was mad at Roman, but because if Roman was able to win a singles match against the man that he had to be DQed against…what would that say about him?
"Renee texted me. She's ready for us to come down." Angel's voice broke his thoughts.
He let out another groan. He had forgotten that Renee had asked Angel earlier today if they could do a quick interview before Roman's match and didn't that just make matter works. The last thing he wanted to do right now was talk to Renee. He knew that she could easily turn the interview against him.
Let's get this over with. He took a deep breath as he rose from his feet and followed the rest of his team out to the hallway. About a few feet down the hall, he saw Renee standing there talking to a camera man.
The camera man turned towards them and let out visual deep breath. "We're going live in one minute."
Renee turned towards them and a huge smile appeared on her face. "Hey!" She gave Angel a hug. "Sorry about the last-minute interview." She sighed. "I was supposed to have an interview with Daniel Bryan about Sunday but…"
"Don't worry about it." Angel shook her head. "We understand."
As pissed off as Dean was, he couldn't help but agree with Angel. Right now, Daniel Bryan was in the middle of being ripped to shreds by Kane who just so happened to 'forget' to tell Daniel that he was facing him after his match with Christian. Which meant without a moment of rest after winning a hard match, he was tossed right back into the ring with the Devil's Favorite Demon, who seemed to be hell bent to break the man's arm.
Yeah, he could understand why Daniel wouldn't be up for an interview.
"Starting in ten…nine…" The camera man called.
Angel quickly moved from beside Renee and made her way quickly over towards him. "Three… two…one…"
"Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome my guests joining me now, the Shield." She introduced them.
All at once, they made their way over towards the woman, Seth and Roman on her right and him and Angel on her left. As the short brunette slid between him and Renee, he had to give her props for trying her hardest to keep a straight face as Renee looked around as each of them. She was getting better about being on camera.
When he noticed that Renee had turned her attention towards Roman, he let out a sigh and started to examine his nails. He was already dreading the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Roman, tonight you are going one on one with the world strongest man, Mark Henry,"
"Mark Henry." His mouth opened and his eyes snapped across the small area to Roman without thinking. Which made everyone turned as Renee brought the mic up to his mouth. Shit. He was trying so hard not to think about how this interview could end up, he forgot to think at all. Well since he opened his big mouth, might as well beat them to the punch. "I'm surprised that Mark Henry even showed up tonight, after the beating I gave him last week." He gave a fake smirk.
"Dean, what are you talking about man." Roman smirked back. "You lost."
"Look, Mark Henry is no walk in the park, alright." The words just started to roll off his tongue. Thank god, that spewing shit without really thinking about it was something that he was good at. "I softened him up for ya, but you'll find that out tonight." He said as Roman looked away from him, trying his hardest to fight the smile that was working its way onto his face. "But I guess you think you can do better." He put his arms out in a challenge.
A sudden hit against his shin made him look down to see Angel looking up at him with a stern look on her face. Yeah, I know I fucked up. You don't have to look at me like that.
"I know I can." Roman answered making him turned his attention back towards him.
"Oh!" He threw his arms back slightly. He wasn't shocked by the answer that his brother-in-arms was giving him, he knew that Roman was up for the challenge. In fact, the only reason why he threw the challenge was because he knew that if he didn't that Roman would.
"Oh ok, don't you think that the four of you all need to get on the same page before your huge six-man tag team match against the Wyatt Family."
"Renee." Seth interrupted Renee. "I appreciate what you're trying to do here, I really do. But you got to understand, we are always on the same page..."
A.A.A.
Angel stood there sandwiched between Renee and Dean as she listened to Seth talking about how the Shield is always on the same page. Though she couldn't stop her eyes from glancing over at Dean who was shuffling back and forth in his spot as he looked at Seth. Even though the man couldn't seem to stand still, he looked so intense; his eyes were dark, and his custom smirk was nowhere to be seen.
"…And as for the Wyatts at the Elimination Chamber, the Shield was born and breed for war! That will never change sweetheart." Seth finished.
"Bray Wyatt…" Dean called out making her jump as Renee quickly turned the mic towards him. "…and his little family, they're an illusion." He said wiggling his fingers in front of Renee's face, which only made the woman turn towards her with an amused look on her face that almost made her crack a smile.
"Their mind games don't work on us…" Dean tapped his temple as he looked up from Renee. "…because the Shield is real." He pointed to each of them, including her.
Shock filled her as she tried her hardest not to break the serious look that she had been working so hard on. She almost couldn't believe that Dean had acknowledged her as one of the team. It felt so nice. Though those good feeling left her quickly as she realized that Renee had turned the mic towards her. "Come Elimination Chamber, the Shield will prove to the Wyatts that they don't scare us." She said thinking quickly on her toes.
Roman gave a nod at her, which let her know that she must have said the right thing. "We don't experience fear and we don't back down, believe that. And believe in the Shield."
As Roman made a fist with his right arm and went for the Shield's fist bump, she quickly moved out of the way, letting Dean moved around her. When Renee and her were out of frame the camera man moved back slightly and let the boys have their moment of glory.
"Cut!" The camera man called as he dropped the camera down off his shoulder. "We're good."
"Thank you, again." Renee sighed. "You are a life saver."
Letting out a huge breath, now that the weight of the world seemed to fall from her shoulders for the moment, Angel smiled at the woman. "Don't worry about it, you know we're always here for you."
"I know, that's why I'm thank you," She smiled back as she gave her another hug. "You did wonderful." She whispered into her ear. "It felt really natural."
"That's good." She was glad that she didn't make a fool out of herself next to the Shield, who always seemed to know just what to say. "Maybe you could stop putting me on the spot like that."
Renee went to say something when her camera man reached out and tapped her on the shoulder. "We really need to head out if you wanna catch Mark Henry."
Renee's eyes widened as she turned from him back to Angel. "Well, you heard the man." She said. "Thank you, again. I'll see you back at the hotel." She waved as she quickly made her down the hallway with her camera man.
Waving back, Angel pulled out her phone and looked down at it. "We've got to run too." She exclaimed as she turned towards the boys who were standing off to the side talking to each other. She could hear Dean and Roman going back and forth about the challenge that Dean had made, while Seth just stood there shaking his head at his brothers.
"Guys, we have to start heading up to the top entrance." She tried to get their attention again, but when they just ignored her, she took a deep breath and stepped up closer. Raising her hands to her mouth she called as loud as she could. "Hey!"
Not only did she get the attention of the three men she was trying to get, but she also got a good chunk of all the crew members in the hallway as well.
Fighting back the blush that was working its way onto her face she put her hands on her hips and shook her head at her team. "We've got to get going, Santino and Fandango's match has already started."
By the time they got to the top entrance, she could hear the crowd counting to three for the pinfall which ended with Fandango beating Santino Marella.
"You're late." The crew member said before relaying into his headset that the Shield was in their spot.
"Sorry." She frowned, knowing that he was talking to her. She was the manager after all, and it was her job to get her Superstars ready for their matches on time. Though, it was really her fault that Kane decided to beat up Daniel Bryan, making it so that he couldn't do his interview with Renee.
She had taken the time to cover up the flub that Kane the 'Director of Operations' had made. He knew that Daniel had an interview during today's show, he was there at both last nights and today's meeting. If Kane can make a mistake like that, then her getting the Shield to their mark a little late wasn't something that she was going let get to her.
"You ready?" She asked as she turned towards Roman who was wetting down his hair.
"Always, Babygirl." He said as the Shield's theme hit.
Roman nodded at Dean, letting him go first, before following quickly behind him. Which meant that her and Seth took up the rear. As they walked out of the doors and to the top of the steps, they split in half to the railing that divided the steps themselves. Dean and Seth went on the right and Roman and her towards the left.
"Go get him!" She heard Dean yell out as he swung his arm out and pointed at the ring before starting down in tandem with Roman.
"This contest is set for a one fall." Angel could hear the ring announcer call over the crowd. "Approaching the ring, representing the Shield. Weighting two hundred sixty-five pounds, Roman Reigns."
After Smackdown and the two house shows, walking through the crowd with the Shield was starting to get easier for her. In fact, she was starting to barely notice the hands that shot to pat her on the back. Though the one thing she was still having trouble doing was keeping the stoic, angry, bad guy look on her face.
She found it almost impossible, as she watched Dean reach over and pat Roman on the shoulder, or when Seth shook out his wet hair, spraying her with water. She had to fight a chuckle that was trying to work its way out as she wiped her face off on the shelve of her black t-shirt. She didn't know how they kept themselves from smiling and laughing all the time.
When they got to the barricade, Dean stepped out of the way and yelled once again for Roman to go and get Mark Henry. With a nod of his head, Roman made his way over the barrier and quickly made his way towards the ring.
Then just like he had the last three nights in a row, Dean stepped up to the barricade and bent a knee before turning towards her. Without a word or a thought, Angel used him as a step and made her way up and over the barricade, hoping that it looked as smooth as she felt it was.
Taking a step away from the barrier so that Dean and Seth could make their way over as well, she looked up and saw Roman looking at her with a proud look on his face. "There you go." He winked at her. "Getting better."
Biting her lip, she noticed the camera crew that was trying to make their way over to Roman, however Dean was in the way. Reaching out she tried to grab his arm and pull him back, but due to the fact that her hand couldn't even fit halfway around his bicep and the fact that the man weight like three of her, she did a pitiful job. However, Dean did end up getting the hint and stepped back just enough that the camera crew was able to get around him and get right up into Roman face.
As the camera focused on Roman; Seth and Dean moved behind the man so that they were in the shot. "It's show time!" Seth smirked.
Dean nodded his head and pounded his fist together. "Time for the Big Dog to take out the World's Strongest Man." He said as Roman made his way up into the ring.
This was when Angel noticed a strange aura around Roman as he moved across the mat and over to the corner. The man was always intense in the ring but this, this was a whole different level then when he was fighting alongside his brothers.
"Let's go." Dean called as he gave her a pat on the back. Turned towards the man beside her, she realized what he was trying to get her to do. Now came the thing that she didn't get any better at over the weekend. She walked with Dean up the steel steps, took a deep breath and ducked under the ropes that he was causally holding open for her.
When she stood up, she gave a glance to Dean who gave her a smirk as he let the ropes go. She didn't know if that mean, she did ok or that she royally messed up and he was laughing at her for it.
However, it didn't matter once Mark Henry's theme hit.
Last time she saw this man, it didn't go so well; Dean got beat up pretty bad, Seth DQed the match, and the chaos that ensued after Mark Henry realized that they had just cheated him out of the US title, she didn't have fawn memories of the last time she heard this them.
Shaking her head, she tried to get her mine off of what happened last time, she glanced back towards Roman and instantly froze. She was glad that the look that was on his face wasn't aimed at her, it was a look that she could only describe as knives.
"You got this." Dean said as he gave Roman a smack on the chest. "Hit hard, fast and he won't know what hit him."
She was almost surprised to hear Dean giving Roman advice for his fight, since he threw the challenge out earlier. Though what she wasn't surprised to see Roman take the advice to heart as he eyed up 'The World's Strongest Man'.
As Mark made his way up the stairs, Dean smacked her gently against the arm. "Let's go." He gestured towards the outside of the ring.
She gave a nod of her head before quickly turning towards Roman to pat him on the shoulder. "Good luck!"
"Let him have it." Dean cheered the man on as well, as the moved to hold the ropes open for her once again.
Swiftly, she made her way through the ropes and down onto the ground, just in time for Mark Henry to make his way into the ring.
She watched intensely as Roman and Mark Henry stared each other down as Seth gave Roman a few words of encouragement.
After Seth got out of the ring, they made their way to the steel steps.
The ref signaled for the bell and instantly both Roman and Mark started to circle each other. Before the two men even made a move to start the fight, the crowd started to chant 'Roman Reigns' loud and clear.
The crowd let out a cheer as Roman started things off with a big punch to the side of Mark Henry's head, followed by a headbutt. Already hitting strong. She cheered as Roman landed another headbutt.
He then grabbed the still tapped arm of Mark Henry, trying to use it as a weakness just as Dean did, but Mark was ready for it and counted by throwing Roman into the rope. He bounced off the ropes and was sent back towards Mark, only to run into a big boot.
As he hit the mat, she couldn't help but noticed Dean next to her, wince for his friend. Though as Roman go up and turned his attention towards the three of them, Dean's look of concern turned into a cocky shrug.
"I told you." Dean sighed as Roman stumbled back into the corner of the ring.
Concern quickly filled her as she watched Roman hold his head as he leaned against the turnbuckles, she could tell that that big boot had already taken a lot out of him. And it was only like two minutes into the match.
A battle cry came from Mark Henry as he ran full force into Roman and smashed him into the corner.
"Oh god." She gasped as she quickly made her way with Seth and Dean who were trying to get closer to the action, who was trying to get a better look at what was going on. With a morbid curiosity she couldn't take her eyes away from Roman as Mark pounded on him. Hitting him with one punch after another.
"Get your hands up!" Dean called out as he brought his arms up in front of his own face. "Hand up!"
Even though she was watching Roman get practically pummeled, a small smile made its way onto her face as she glanced over to Seth and Dean. She loved to see this side of the boys, the side that worried about each other, the side that cared about each other. The side that wasn't always knocking heads and bickering. Dare she said she found it cute and refreshing.
Though cute and refreshing wasn't what came to mind as Roman kicked Mark in the gut. She was amazed by how quick Roman was able to turn the fight right around, he started to push his way out of the corner by hitting Mark Henry on the back until they made it to the center of the ring. He then got his arms around Mark's neck and somehow put the biggest man into a headlock.
"There you go." Dean nodded his head, looking slightly impressed with his brother.
"Put all your weight on him." Seth chimed in as Roman got Mark down on one knee.
Though as quick as Roman was able to put him into the headlock, Mark was able to power out of it with a few hits to the chest.
"No, no, no. You got to stay tighter than that."
As Mark went for one more hit, Roman broke away from the man. With the separation between the two of them Roman was able to duck under the hit, turn around, duck down and scoop Mark Henry off his feet.
Angel let out a huge gasp has she watched the four-hundred-pound man's feet lift from the mat as Roman got him up for the Samoan Drop. As the man hit the mat, she heard both Seth and Dean gasp as well.
She took a moment to glance back and saw Seth looking quite pleased as he paced in a circle, while Dean stood there with his mouth gap open and his hands up into the air. However, she watched as the shock, turned into almost a smug as Roman turned towards them after Mark Henry kicked out of the cover.
Seth though, didn't seem to care about the kick out. "Did you see that?!" He asked as he made his way back towards them.
"How could we not." Angel gestured into the ring, as Roman grabbed Mark again.
"Got to admit that was good." Dean gave a smirk. "The bastard got one over on me."
The good feelings that the team had from the amazing four-hundred-pound Samoan Drop, didn't last long as Mark turned around and hit Roman with a headbutt that knocked him to the ground.
With Roman on the ground, Mark Henry dropped down to the mat as well and him with a crawling headbutt something the Hall of Famer the late great Junkyard Dog did.
Both men got up and with another splash in the corner and an Irish Whip across the ring, Roman was able to get a hold of himself and stick his foot out as Mark went for yet another splash.
Though at first it didn't seem to do much, in fact it was like the hit didn't even faze Mark Henry, as he just stood there with Roman's foot against his chest. With fast thinking, Roman brought up his other leg up so that he was holding himself up by the ropes and pushed against Mark Henry's chest. Using all of his might, Roman was able to send Mark sprawling across the ring.
Quickly Roman dropped down and readied himself for a Superman punch.
"Get him!" She yelled. She was super excited to see the Superman Punch, it was one of her favorite moves that the boys did, right after Dean's DDT.
"Yes!" She jumped at the same time as Roman and smile from ear to ear as the Superman punch landed, knocking Mark Henry back off his feet. Though the fun didn't stop there. Roman quickly made his way back into the corner once again.
Roman leaned back and did his infamous battle cry that signaled his Spear was coming and the crowd joined in. Not taking his eyes off Mark, he readied himself for the attack. She could see the look on his face change as Mark got to his feet. In a blink of an eye Roman took off across the mat and speared Mark right back down, before going for the cover.
One. Two. Three. Ding. Ding. Ding.
Excitement ran through her and she started to jump up and down. Seth beside was just as excited as she was calling things like 'that's right' and 'that's how it's done', as he quickly made his way into the ring.
She turned around to see Dean's reaction, only to see the man was standing there with pursed lips and his eyes were angled downwards. She cocked her head at him as he slowly made his way onto the mat.
She kept her eyes on him as she climbed up into the ring right behind him. As Dean made his way around Roman who was celebrating his win, she realized that something was off with him.
Just as she went to reach out and ask what was wrong, Dean turned and looked at Mark Henry who was still down on the mat. All at once a look of frustration and anger appeared on his face and without warning he started to stomp on Mark Henry.
Her jaw dropped as she watched Dean follow Mark Henry as he rolled out of the ring and on to the floor. "Dean!" She went to stop him, only for Roman to hold his hand and make his way over to the ropes.
After a little bit of time, Dean must have noticed him because he stopped and towards the ring.
"What are you doing?" Roman asked with a smirk.
"Don't worry about what I'm doing." Dean let himself get pulled away by the ref.
"That's weak."
And like that the lights went out. No…
D.D.D
As the Wyatts' stupid mix of noises echoed through the dark arena, all of the frustration that filled him from Roman winning a match that he couldn't, went away.
Without another thought he quickly made his way back up into the ring and stood with his brothers.
"What is he up to this time?" He heard Roman say as he passed.
"I'm sure we'll find out." Dean sighed, just in time for the titiantron to light up with Rowan's sheep mask thing.
"I got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart." Was Bray signing? Dean couldn't help but raise his eyebrow as he took his spot between Angel and Seth. "Down in my heart. Down in my heart." He was definitely signing, which wasn't the weirdest thing that he had seen the man do but was strange none the less. "I got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. Down in my head, to stay…"
Bray finally turned towards the camera. "You know, as our day of reckoning inches closer, I can't help but feel this child like excitement building up in me!" His voice grew louder with each word, only to fall back down. "The clock is ticking. Your defeat, it will not come in vain. Your shattered bones will pave the streets of my kingdom. And from my throne, Imma burn them all."
Throne? Kingdom? Dean cocked his head at the screen. What the hell was he talking about?
"I can't help but wonder Shield, I must ask you…"
"Oh, this outta be good." Seth sighed.
"…in the end was all of this worth it?" Bray started to laugh.
"Are you…" Luke stepped forward as Bray turned his back to them. "…really willing to die for this?"
Bray turned his head back towards the camera. "Because if you're not, you've already lost." He started laughing again.
"I've got a pretty good idea." Roman said over a mic that Dean didn't see him get. "How about you come out here and talk that noise?"
"Alright." Dean smirked at the big man as he turned back towards the screen.
"Funny…." Bray turned fully around. "You should say that…. we were thinking the exact same thing." Bray walked off screen.
"Run."
"Oh shit." Seth took a deep breath as the arena went completely dark once again as the Wyatt's theme started.
Dean glanced backwards as he noticed Bray walking out from behind the curtain, to see that Angel had tucked herself slightly behind him. He couldn't blame her, however.
Trying to get her attention, he stuck out his arm and swished it back and forth. "You might want to get out of here." He warned her.
She nodded as she backed up until her back hit the ropes, however she didn't make a move to duck out. She stood there with her eyes plastered on the ramp where Bray Wyatt was, fear echoing in them.
When the lights came back on, Dean took one last look at Angel before turning towards Bray and his goons. Instantly he was ready to go; all the frustration and anger he had building up inside of him, was now aimed at the three men in front of him, and if they only knew what they were getting themselves into, they would be the ones 'running.'
"Come on." He bounced on his feet, not able to stand still; his whole body was buzzing. "Come on, get up here. Let's go."
"Shield! Shield! Shield! Shield!" The crowd chanted as the Wyatts grew closer.
"That's right." Dean smirked as Bray reached up to grab the ropes.
"Babygirl, you might wanna get down." Roman called behind them.
"Uh, right."
Dean made sure that Angel got out of the ring before turning his attention to Bray as he got into the ring. Adrenaline rushed him. Come on! Make a move! He begged Roman. He wanted this, he needed this, and judging by the look on Roman's face, so did he.
Relief rushed him as soon as he saw the slight nod that Roman gave as he stepped forward into the middle of the ring. Erick Rowan and Luke Harper answered Roman's challenge by stepping up next to their leader. To which, he and Seth answered by stepping up next to Roman.
"Let's go ugly." Dean taunted as he looked Luke Harper right in the eyes. "You wanna dance? Because I'm real good at the one two punch…"
Harper did make a move, but it wasn't he one he wanted. His eyes widened as he watched the man made his way to the side and duck back under the ropes, back on the ropes.
Realizing what was happening, he gave a quick glance over to Rowan and Bray as they did the same thing before sliding off the apron and onto the floor.
Not this again. He growled as he cracked his neck. One day someone was going to rev him up to the point he wasn't going to be able to calm himself back down.
As the three men met at the bottom of the ramp, Bray did that thing where he put out his arms and Luke and Erick stood behind him. "This game belongs to me…." Bray smirked as his eyes ran from Roman, to Seth only to snap over to him. "...and so does your little lamb."
Little lamb? His eyes widened at the words, as he took a quick glance back to Angel who was standing there on the apron, holding onto the top rope for dear life.
Anger poured threw him as his snapped his head back towards Bray, but as soon as his eyes landed on the man, the lights once again went out, only to come back on and the Wyatts weren't there.
Labinnacslove: It is about time that Angel told Shield. There is one wolf that wants to devour himself a lamb.
Skovko: Dean does save the day! He's kind of good at that in a weird way.
Lissa003: Thank you so much for your review! It means a lot to me. And I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Oh and we will see if the Shield can protect her.
Wolviegurl: I'm glad you liked the Pack Protection Detail! I thought it really suited the boys.
