Chapter 8

You were in the car with Seth, Dean and Roman after your return to the main roster against the Judgement Day.

"It was so amazing, the looks on their faces!" Dean said excitedly.

"Everyone was shocked," Roman added, "there was like a couple seconds of silent shock before the crowd went absolutely crazy."

Seth smiled to you, sitting in the front seat with your legs on the dash as he drove and Roman and Dean went on in the backseat. "It really was amazing, the crowd pop was fun to watch," he said calmly.

You smiled, "I have to admit I was excited to come back, but there is no feeling that compared to walking down that ramp tonight."

He nodded, "you could tell, I've never seen someone smile as wide as you did when you first came out."

"So how is it different from the attitude era?" Roman asked, refocusing Dean's energy to listen to you.

You shrugged, "the attitude era was fun," you explained, "but this feeling is different, like there is so much more left to accomplish, so many places to go. I feel like I reached the peak back then, like there wasn't much left for me to do - I did it all." You sighed and continued, "but now I feel like there are so many new opportunities. New ways to push my training, new ways to talk, new talent to watch, new goals to dream and new heights to reach."

Dean nodded, his usual rugged energy gone, "I really am glad you're here with us, I think with you by our side, there are new heights to reach too."

You smiled, but before you could respond, Roman and Seth looked at Dean with confusion. "Dean," Roman said, placing a hand on his shoulder, "that was the most normal logical sentence I think you've ever said."

The four of you burst into laughter. The rest of the car ride was filled with laughter and smiles. For the first time in a long time, you felt like you found a place you belonged.

—--------------------------------

You arrived at the arena for the next show relatively early, but you were all tired from driving all night. "I think I need a nap," you said as you rolled your luggage through one of the side doors.

"We've got time before the show," Seth said, "use one of the private locker rooms."

You laughed, "I think that's frowned upon."

"Not for you," Dean said with a wink.

"Hang on," you said, pulling out your phone and dialing a number. After two rings, Hunter picked up. "Hey, Hunter, is it ok if I use your office at the arena for a nap?"

"Seriously?" Hunter asked in amusement.

"It was a rough ride," Dean said into the phone, "Seth was driving."

"Dude," Seth said, smacking Dean playfully on the arm.

You heard Hunter laugh on the other end of the phone, "yea, there should be a large office space towards the back of the venue," he said, "if you can't find it, have one of the producers take you."

"Thanks Hunter," you said, "you're the best."

"Yea yea," he said before hanging up the phone.

"I'm going to find that office, wake me up in an hour," you said, trailing off.

SETH'S POV

The three boys made their way through the venue and set their bags down in the locker room. Dean immediately laid on the floor while Seth and Roman sat on the bench. "You think tonight will be fun?" Dean asked.

"Fun?" Roman repeated.

"Like yesterday was fun, (Y/N) returned, everyone loved it. Is tonight going to be as fun?" he elaborated.

"Of course tonight will be fun," Seth responded, "from here on out everything is going to be different."

"But good different," Roman added.

"Yea, a good different," Seth repeated, laying his head down on a crumpled up tshirt. "I have a feeling that everything is going to be much more exciting."

"Because of (Y/N)?" Roman asked, leaning back on his backpack for a cushion.

"Yea," Seth answered, "she brings a whole new dynamic, a whole new perspective. Having her on our side is a real game changer."

"She definitely knows how to have fun," Dean commented, "like I think she'll be fun at a party."

"Dean, when are we going to have time to party?" Roman asked, amusement in his voice.

"I just meant in general," Dean said, using his hands to talk - a clear sign he was getting tired.

Seth laughed, "we've only been together for a couple days, it's crazy but I feel like she's been with us forever."

Roman nodded in agreement, "she fits in well, it's hard to think how we got along without her."

Dean didn't respond, but the gentle sound of his snores told them he had fallen asleep. Roman and Seth looked at each other for a second and shared a quiet laugh. Roman shifted his backpack and closed his eyes. Seth rolled over and tucked his arm under the crumpled tshirt. He closed his eyes and smiled thinking of (Y/N) and all of the plans he had for the Shield.
