"Everything happened so quickly that I couldn't even keep my tabs on it" Roman sighs, carefully massaging Becky's head.

"If we knew you guys were coming, we would've gotten more pumpkins" Becky says and the little orange haired girl beside her nodded and ran into her aunt's arms with a giggle,
"She's hyperactive today" Charlotte smiles and lifts her up into her arms, "How is my little munchkin doing today, hmm?"
"Better now that you're here, Aunty Char" She replies and grins, showing off her small dentition,

"We didn't have much planned for that day" He continued, "It was..... someone's birthday"
"Do you mind me asking who's birthday it was?"Becky says, expecting the grim look on his face to increase. He only grinned, so widely she thought he wasn't just narrating a dire story, "Roman?"
"Actually, it was Ella's birthday"He answers and she raises an eyebrow,
"Who's Ella?"
"You and Dean's child"He says, with little hesitation. Becky absorbed the words for a moment before she opened her mouth in shock and her cheeks slowly turned red.
"H-huh ?" She stuttered and Roman gave a cheeky smile,
"Don't believe me, I can tell you more. She wasn't your only child actually"

"Ok, I think I've heard enough please" She says quickly, rubbing on her red cheeks to stop her from blushing even more, "Please get back to the story",
Roman chuckles again before returning to his normal demeanor, "When we had everything going strong, when we were busy preparing for the party, we decided to go get something for her as a birthday present"

Becky watched him with keen eyes as he sighed and rubbed on his forehead, "She loved daffodils"
"Really?" Becky asks and he slowly nods, "...That's funny, I do too......"

"Mm" He nods, giving her a smile, "That's why she's your daughter, no?"

Becky pouted at his obvious attempt to tease her and whined at him to continue.
"Dean wanted to get a whole vase of them. And he wanted us to come with him, I guess he just wanted a normal bro-out just like old times"
"That does sound like Dean" She murmurs and Roman smirks,
"Don't you mean, 'that does sound like my husband?' "
"Roman !" She yelps and he apologizes again,

"Daffodils didn't really grow in that area very much" He continued, making Becky lay on his shoulder, "So we decided to head out. Far from the village where we lived"
"Most of the others were on their way, so there weren't much people there" He said before swallowing, "We were already far from site. We didn't even know what had happened"
"When we came back, the whole village was on fire......, the clouds were so dark with the smoke from the fire, it was raining and yet, the flames never came down"

"So many people died " He mumbled, "Everyone was either on fire or was getting their intestines stabbed out of them. It was terrible....."
"Roman.." Becky says, cupping his face,
"It all happened so fast, I couldn't even..."
A sigh escaped his lips and Becky gasped when a lone tear fell out of his right eye, "I couldn't even do anything, Becky. Everyone else was fighting and I stood there, just staring at everything in shock. And then I saw him, just standing there and looking down on the carnage from one of the highest mountains...., he was enjoying every second of it. A-and I couldn't.."

Becky pulled him into a tight hug once he started shivering. The sight of him acting like this was something she wasn't used to, even her Roman didn't break down in the slightest. They was always so reserved and calm, she had no idea these were the kinds of thoughts that went around in his head,
"It's okay" She shushes and pats his head, "It's okay, Roman. You weren't aware, you didn't know any of that would happen"
"But I did, Becky"He answers quietly and she freezes.

What did he say?
"Roman"She says and pulls away from their embrace to look him in the eye, "What do you mean you did?"
She noticed the way he tensed with her question and her brows furrowed,
"What do you mean you did, Roman?"

"We didn't kill him"
Her face twisted with more confusion until he continued, "I didn't kill him"
"You didn't what?" She says in complete awe. Roman sighed and rested his temple on one of his palms,"I didn't kill him, Becky"

"I don't understand" She says quietly, her tone filled with worry and confusion. Truly, she didn't understand what was going on as she thought the attack was by some of Omnisious' servants that had maybe escaped death. The way he said 'he' with such a strong tone told her that he was speaking of one person in particular, "You didn't kill Omnisious?",
It took him some time but her soul left her body when he slowly shook his head. There was no way......

"Why?" She rasps out, making him wince at the obvious betrayal in her voice, "You didn't kill him, why? Why did you let him go?"
"I couldn't" He answers and her eyes open up in anger and even more confusion, "I just couldn't-"
"You had better explain yourself now, loud and clear, Roman because I am about to loose it if you don't explain yourself" She says with spite and he grows weary at her demanding tone.

He stays silent for a while but the way she suddenly started glaring at him pushed him to speak up.

"When we were teenagers, which is now for your timeline" He says slowly, sadness laced in his voice, "We were about to kill him ourselves. We had him surrounded, all his servants down and he was drained right at out feet"
"The others felt like killing him on the spot but I just had to know if it was true" He says and Becky frowns at this,

"If what was true?"
Roman looked down from her eyes, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you"
He saw that she wanted to protest but held herself and looked at him to continue, "When he told me it was,.....I couldn't do it. I faked the death"
"I switched his body for another one and let him go" He said solemnly, "Nobody ever noticed."

"So why did you let him go?"She asks again and he sighs, rubbing his temples,
"I had to"
"That doesn't answer my question, Roman" She hisses and forces him to look at her, "Do you know what this means? Roman, you didn't kill him when you had to and he came back years later to kill everyone you love"

"He didn't care about your heroic sacrifice" She said angrily, "He didn't care that you let him go after everything he had done to you. No, what does he do? He comes back and ruins your life, and not just yours, your brothers' as well. All versions of that bastard are the most evil things to exist in the multiverse,Roman. Why? Why would you do such a thing?"
"You don't understand" He slowly answers and she feels her head ache with anger,
"Then make me understand, Roman" She says, trying her best not to yell in frustration when he just keeps quiet. She felt like pulling her hair out, all that happened to him in the future only happens because he doesn't kill the one person he had always wanted to kill for the longest time,
It was so confusing.

"Roman" She says in a warning tone and he avoids eye contact, "Tell me why you didn't kill Omnisious. What did he tell you?"
"I told you I can't say"
"Roman, I'm not asking anymore. I'm demanding" She hisses quietly, "I'm sure if I don't know then your brothers don't either. Heck, I'm not sure Future Charlotte even knew that you let that maniac go"
"I didn't have a choice-"
"To hell with that, Roman" She interrupts and clenches her fists, "Can you please just tell me what is going on? Why didn't you kill him?!"

"I couldn't kill him because he is my father !"

Heavy silence filled the atmosphere as it fell thick with surprise and shock. She couldn't believe her ears.
Just then, a huge eruption bursted everywhere, wrecking the forest with its great impact. Most of the trees crashed and the forest floor broke rapidly, trapping most of the guards down below inside the earth. The chasm they fell in continued to grow as the huge explosion still rumbled the scope.
The two individuals in the tree jumped out of the tree they were in, Roman held her in his back and jumped away from the cracking tetonic plates that didn't look like they were stopping any time soon,
When the explosion ceased, Becky's eyes widened as a large fire was seen inside the palace, burning as brightly as any massive fire would.

The gates were torn open, they broke from the impact of the explosion.

"What the hell?" Future Roman muttered to himself while the orange haired on his back fell silent, thinking of the words he spoke before.
