**Days Later**:
Two days passed and Paige sat quietly as she watched Roman sleep. As he slept she looked at the damage the Wyatts had done to him, he was covered in bruises; it was hard to tell where one bruise ended and another started. His face had also been cut open in different places, and she was sure at least two of his ribs were broken. She felt so guilty, he had taken the worst of the beatings trying to keep her safe. It worked most of the time, but there had been a few times when he couldn't stop them from hitting her.
When the Wyatts were around both Roman and Paige put on a brave, united front, neither backed down from them. When they were alone though Paige and Roman would talk, both refused to give up hope that Seth and Dean would rescue them! When Paige was sure Roman was asleep she'd cry; she was scared that they wouldn't make it out alive! She knew Dean and Seth would come, but she feared it would be too late!
"Hey kid, don't cry." Roman's gentle voice spoke startling her out of her thoughts.
"I thought you were sleeping?" She asked, as she quickly wiped her face on her shoulders.
"I was, but I woke up and saw you. Why are you crying?" He asked.
"I'm just scared that's all! I'm scared those in-bred hillbilly's are going to kill us before Dean and Seth can find us!" She admitted. "I'm scared that when they do find us that...one of them could be hurt or killed!"
"Paige, stop." Roman said gently. "Dean and Seth will find us, and when they do the Wyatts will pay for what they've done to us, believe that!" Roman said angrily, as he starred at her bruised face. "I need you to stay strong for me okay? We just need to hang on a little longer!"
"Ro, what if something goes wrong and they get hurt?" Paige asked scared.
"They won't!" Roman answered.
"How can you be so sure?"
"I can because I know them and I know how good they are by themselves! Together though they're..."
"Unstoppable!" Paige said smiling cutting Roman off.
**With Dean And Seth**:
After working through their problems, Dean and Seth went over their rescue plan again and again, until it was perfect! Using Dean's knowledge of the property, house and members of the family they came up with their plan. Seth made all the arrangements they needed, and everything was set to go early morning of the third day.
The night before the rescue Dean couldn't sleep, so he stood on the balcony starring out at the city lights, wearing one of Roman's hoodies. Hearing that Roman still loved him, had filled the emptiness in Dean's soul that he had felt since he had left Roman. He sighed, he was nervous about the morning; not about the raid, but about seeing Roman again.
"Dean?" Seth asked gently, startling Dean out of his thoughts.
"Yeah?"
"You okay?" Seth asked, as he joined him at the railing.
"I'm just freaking out a little about tomorrow." Dean answered quietly.
"You shouldn't, he still loves you Dean."
"I know, but...wait! How did you know I was talking about Roman and not about the raid?" Dean asked confused.
"Because you're Dean freaking Ambrose! The only thing that scares you is loving Roman!" Seth answered smiling.
"Damn you Agent Pretty Boy!" Dean replied smiling.
"Seriously though Dean, don't worry so much. Roman loves you and you love him, everything will be fine I promise!"
"How can you be so sure? I broke up with him, I left him while he was sleeping! I was a damn coward, I..."
"Dean, stop." Seth said gently, cutting Dean off. "You left because you wanted to keep Roman safe! That doesn't make you a coward Ambrose."
"Thanks Seth." Dean said smiling sadly.
"Anytime." Seth said hugging him. "Come on, we need our rest so we can be ready to kick Wyatt ass tomorrow!" He said patting Dean on the back, before they went inside.
**The Next Morning**:
Early the Seth and Dean arrived at the station; Dean was dressed in full SWAT gear, like Seth and the rest of their team, complete with bullet proof vest and a full face mask, thanks to Seth. Seth gathered their team and told them their plan and that he was leading the raid, but Dean; who Seth called Agent Carter, was second lead.
After making sure that everyone knew the plan, and that their objective was to get Roman and Paige out safely, they got into their cars and left. As Dean drove, Seth looked over the map of the house and land figuring out the best place for them to hide their cars. Dean was nervous, the last time he faced the Wyatts he had been shot, he was afraid something would happen, this time to Roman, Paige or Seth. He wouldn't let anything happen to them if he could help it, he'd die before he let them get hurt!
Soon they arrived, Seth told their team where to park and reminded them about their plan. After parking Dean took out his binoculars and scanned the area, no one was outside thanks to the early morning hour.
"Any sign of the Wyatts?" Seth asked.
"Nope, they're still sleeping!" Dean answered,
"All the better for us, we have the element of surprise!" Seth said smiling.
"Yeah." Dean said quietly.
"Dean, are you okay?" Seth asked, noticing something seemed off with him.
"I'm fine." Dean answered, as he put the binoculars away.
"Okay Ambrose, you wanna try telling the truth now?" Seth asked smirking.
"You know Rollins, you can be really annoying sometimes!" Dean replied smiling.
"It's a gift!" Seth said, as they laughed. "Does it have anything to do with you getting shot the last time you were here?" He asked gently.
"Okay Rollins, get the hell out of my head okay? I have enough friends in there, I don't need another one!" Dean said. "I'm not worried about me getting shot again though, I'm worried that something will happen to Roman, Paige or you."
"Oh...um, I didn't know you cared?" Seth said shocked to hear Dean's words.
"Seth, we might not be close, but that doesn't mean I want to see you hurt!"
"Nothing will go wrong, we have Dean freaking Ambrose on our side! Did you forget who you are and what you can do?" Seth asked smiling.
"You're right, thanks Rollins! Let's do this!" Dean answered smiling, as he held his fist out to Seth who quickly put his fist beside Dean's.
"Let's go kick some Wyatt ass!" Seth said, as Dean still smiling put his mask on and they got out.
