A/N- Just a little something I cooked up quickly set between the two backstage Judgement Day segments from this year's Summerslam (2024) to try and fill in some context for the events that transpired. Hope you all enjoy it and please, do feel free to leave a review.
Finn left the Judgement Day's clubhouse, his teeth clenched and his fists clenching and unclenching as he worked through his anger at Damien Priest. With great effort he pressed his anger down and let out a long breath. Things were rapidly spiralling out of control and Finn hoped he could gain some control again. His hand was going to be forced because Dominic couldn't control himself. He chewed on his lip thoughtfully for a moment, thinking things through before nodding to himself. He could still pull this off, revenge could still be had and control could still be retaken.
When Finn walked into the office he had arranged to meet Liv in he took in the sight in front of him, sighed and shook his head. Liv was sat on a table, her arms and legs wrapped around Dominic as they proceeded to kiss passionately. Her hands were roaming all over his back, heading further south. Finn coughed loudly, drawing the two's attention. Liv let out a squeal of delight, jumped off the desk and ran over to him.
"Finny!" Liv cried out and jumped into his arms, hugging him tight.
"What's going on?!" Dominic demanded, a look of both surprise and, a little, fear in his eyes as Liv got onto her feet and gave Finn a gentle kiss on the cheek before moving back over to Dominic and stroking his cheek lovingly.
"I'm sorry Dominic. I haven't been completely truthful with you. You weren't the only one who was unhappy with what's been happening in the Judgment Day." She looked back at Finn for a moment, "me and Finn have been working on this for a while now."
Finn chuckled and shook his head slightly, "not just a while Liv, years this has been in the works. Look Dom mate, me and Liv….we were fighting Judgement Day for so long two years ago. We realised that we couldn't destroy them them from the outside….so….I took the bullet and joined them, hoping I could destroy them from the inside."
Dominic looked from Liv to Finn, "so, you planned this from the very beginning?"
Finn and Liv looked at each other and hesitated before shaking their heads. "Not quite baby, Finn lost himself for a time, lost himself to the darkness. You know how….fun it is…how thrilling and…seductive it is, god knows I do now" Liv giggled, a slight madness in her voice, "but then Damian screwed Finn last year and started to get cocky….started to think he was in charge. What was it you said Finn?" Liv asked. "No leaders, no ego, all equal. That was what it was supposed to be." Finn explained and Liv nodded, "exactly, and Rhea," Liv's voice grew darker, " Rhea doesn't understand the concept of loyalty, or how amazing you really are." Liv looked up at Dominic and ran her hand over his chest, feeling his heartbeat, feeling the muscles her man possessed. "She doesn't see you for the man you really are, for the skills you have, for the potential you've got. You are Dominic Mysterio, your potential is great and I believe in you." The blonde looked up at Dominic with manic, fanatical, love struck eyes and Dominic found himself getting lost in them. He dragged himself away for a moment though and addressed a concern that had been bugging him. "But, if you two have been planning this for so long….does that mean that this," he indicated him and Liv, "isn't real?" Liv shook her head vehemently and again caressed his cheek, "no baby, like I said a few weeks ago, it started out like that but now? Dom, I love you so much it hurts. I will do anything for you, to make you the star that I know you are." There a moment of silence as Dominic looked into Liv's eyes, seeing the love in them, the love and the lust and the devotion. Without hesitation he pulled her into a long deep kiss, causing Finn to roll his eyes and mutter "jesus christ" under his breath.
After a moment the two love birds pulled apart, slightly gasping for breath. "Are you two done now, yes?" Finn asked, trying to keep a look of exasperation on his face but secretly feeling happiness well up inside of him seeing Dominic truly happy finally. "Sorry Finn….are…you okay with me and Liv?" Dominic asked uncertainly, remembering the way Liv had treated the Irishman when he walked in on them, Finn just nodded. "Liv is like my sister Dom, just look after her."
"Well well well…what do we have here." An Irish drawl sounded from behind them and they all looked round to see JD stood at the doorway. Finn stepped forward, hands out in a peaceful manner. "Hey Ace, look, I can explain everything man." Finn explained, his eyes searching the face of his protégé. JD took the situation in before focusing on Finn, "Finn, I've just got one question for you."
JD let the silence draw out before grinning nastily, "when do we fuck over Priest," Finn laughed and he and JD embraced in a fierce hug. "Well it was going to be on Raw but our boy Dom just couldn't help himself so, fuck it, I'm going to get my revenge on him tonight." Finn looked round at his family, grinning nastily. "This is the end of Priest's title reign, from now on this is the Judgement Day."
"Now that's Cool." Carlito piped up from behind JD, causing JD to jump in shock. "For a big guy you sure do move quietly fella," the Irish Ace laughed out. Finn shook his head in amusement. "Right, Dom and Liv, you two love birds better get out of here before Priest or Ripley find you. Carlito, JD, we never found them okay?" Carlito and JD nodded and left the room, Dominic draped an arm over Liv and they headed towards the door. "See you later Finny, come on Daddy Dom, let's go have some fun." Liv called out as they left as well, leaving Finn alone. He checked his watch and saw it was nearly time for Damien's match.
"Okay then Damian, time to see you man up now."
He muttered to himself, his face setting in determination before leaving the room and, in his mind, the last vestiges of the old Judgment Day.
