Rainbow Edge
Summary: While Dean Ambrose is out on injury leave Edge's little sister joins the Raw roster. She's bright and bubbly and has a deep love of all things rainbow colored. When Dean returns he can't seem to decide what to make of her, until he gets a glimpse of a darker side that she hides when she loses her temper.
A/N: I know, I know…yet another fic lol. I'm just so happy that Dean is back. I kind of miss the old version of Dean with all the cheeky and mischievous antics…this new version is quiet and just looks so angry all the time lol. I pretty much love all of the wrestlers, even if I hate their characters lol. There will be a mix of Ring and real names depending on character and location and all. Obviously she's not going to call her brother Edge lol. Also, I love Renee and Dean together, they're adorable, but for the purposes of this story they are just friends. This chapter starts off in Dean's POV, then switches to hers, and then back to Dean's at the end.
Chapter 1 – The New Arrival
Being out on injury was a pain in the ass, even worse when you almost die thanks to a damn infection. Dean was still stuck at home but he was supposed to be making his return in the next month. His friend Renee kept checking in on him, as did hid Shield brothers, but he was bored and angry. In the meantime he kept watching the show to keep himself up to date on all of the rivalries and feuds going on. Most people though wrestling was fake or at least scripted…and to be fair some of it was…but a lot of the feuds were real and so was the fighting. He was kind of zoning out listening to Elias running his mouth again but when Elias mentioned the name Edge his attention snapped back to the screen. Edge had retired years before due to neck injuries so what the heck was he coming out to the ring for?
"Thank you, Elias, for the introduction. By the way…great song man. I hate to burst the fan's bubble here but I'm not out here to wrestle. I can't ever do that again. I am, however, out here to introduce someone very important to me. Ladies and Gentleman…my little sister…Iris!"
The lights faded out as "Party till we Die by Timmy Trumpet started playing over the speakers of the arena. As the music picked up into a sort-of chant, rainbow colored lights started flashing around the arena and a figure came out of the darkness onto the stage, a glowing headband of rainbow-colored flowers was all that was visible until the lights came back in full.
She was short, maybe five foot total from Dean's estimation, her hair was dyed in pastel waves of color. It started out a light pink that faded into purple then blue then green, but it looked good on her. Her outfit was…different. She had a short skirt with rainbow fur trimming the bottom edge and under that was a pair of black booty shorts. There was a black crop top with long sleeves trimmed in that same rainbow fur as was the detachable black hood. The outfit was finished off by a pair of black boots and black leg warmers covered in rainbow fur. It should have looked ridiculous but he had to admit she pulled it off and looked pretty hot.
As she hopped up onto the ring apron the music turned soft and quiet for a bit and she did a rather impressive backbend where her head was touching the backs of her ankles. Dean couldn't help his mind drifting into the gutter for a moment after seeing that move. As she shot back upright her hands went into the air as the chant started again and he heard most of the fans singing along and bouncing in place. Edge and Elias held the ropes open for her to slip in and Dean got a great view of her ass as the camera panned past her.
"Thank you brother dearest, and it's a pleasure to meet you as well, Elias."
"The pleasure is all mine, my lady."
Dean actually gagged when Elias kissed her hand and rolled his eyes at the blatant flirting attempts that followed, which the woman seemed to ignore completely…though the glare Edge was giving the guy meant he certainly didn't ignore it.
"I'm really excited to finally be here in the WWE with all of you wonderful fans. I used to watch my big brother coming out here every week and doing his thing and whenever he was home to visit he'd teach me what he could. This isn't actually what I started out doing…I loved it but I allowed my fear of not being good enough to push me away from following my dream. Instead…I became a nurse."
"A damn good one too."
"Thank you Addie. Point is…despite being good at my job, and enjoying what I did…I always felt that something wasn't quite right…and then I came to watch my big brother retire, I saw how emotional it made him and how badly he didn't want to have to leave all of this…and I realized what was wrong with my life. I had no passion anymore…I had let fear control me and stop me from following my dream and it had made me become boring and ordinary. I realized that's not what I want for myself so I talked Addie into training me seriously, along with a few of his friends who are practically family by this point. Now I'm here."
"Well, let me be the first to welcome you to the WWE. Might I just say this entire place has already been made brighter by your radiant presence?"
"Thank you, Elias. That's very kind of you."
"Perhaps you and I could go out to dinner sometime?"
"Sorry but no…you're not really…my type…you seem nice and all but…yeah…sorry."
Dean started laughing at the kicked puppy look on Elias's face when he got rejected so sweetly. That had to be a blow to the man's overinflated ego.
"So before I go backstage I just want to say one thing to all of you out there. Never…ever…give up on your dreams. Don't let other people tell you that you can't do something because you're too small, or too young, or too old, or too anything. If you want to become a wrestler then go for it…put in the work and go for it. You want to become a pilot? Do it. As long as you work hard and keep at it then nothing can stop you."
She dropped the mic as Edge lifted her up into a hug before helping her out of the ring and leading her backstage, a sulking Elias trailing slowly behind them. A camera backstage followed them as a few familiar faces came over to hug the woman. Christian and the Hardy Boyz.
"My Boys!"
Dean watched the tiny woman launch herself at Christian who caught her with a laugh. When he set her down the Hardy Boyz pulled her into hugs and she beamed at them.
"What are you two doing over here on Raw? Aren't you two on Smackdown?"
"You didn't think we'd miss your big debut did you Little Rainbow?"
"Of course not Skittles. I'm glad you guys are here."
She was soon giggling at Matt Hardy's craziness before the camera moved away to the next match. After two more matches it was time for her actual Debut match against Bayley, who had Sasha Banks in her corner. The match went on for well over 8 minutes of back and forth until Iris hit a spinning side slam and then got Bayley into her submission hold. Her legs were tangled around Bayley's legs and she had Bayley's arms in hers while pulling her back past its natural bending point. Iris herself was in a rather extreme backbend to pull off the hold but thanks to years of Yoga she was flexible enough to bend backwards and kiss her own feet if she wanted to. Bayley tapped out after hanging on for almost a minute in the hold. After the bell rang the ref went to raise Iris's hand but Bayley and Sasha beat him to it and raised her hands with their before giving her a hug and welcoming her to the WWE before they all went backstage together with a camera following them briefly.
"That was amazing…how are you so flexible Iris?"
"Easy Bayley…I've been doing Yoga since I was in High School."
"That was an impressive Submission hold girl. I would not want to get caught in that one."
"Thanks Sasha. That means a lot coming from two of the best female wrestlers."
The three ladies hugged again before the camera went back to the ring as Seth Rollins was in a 2 on 1 handicap match against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. Dean growled at the screen in irritation. He wanted to be back already so he could help his little brother kick their teeth in. When the match ended in a DQ and the two started ganging up on Seth Dean started to drum his fingers on his collar bone in agitation, until a tiny black and rainbow figure slid into the ring and stood between them and Seth.
"What the hell is she doing? Is she crazy?"
"She's going to get herself hurt!"
Dean couldn't help but agree with the guys on commentary, she was just so tiny compared to McIntyre who was stepping into her personal space even as she stood her ground. He had to give her credit…she had a strong spine. However, even Dean was thrown for a loop when Finn Balor came out to the ring and stood behind her as Seth finally got back to his feet and joined them. He looked a little confused but clearly wasn't going to refuse the backup. Ziggler and McIntyre slid out of the ring and went back up the ramp as the tiny rainbow turned to hug Finn Balor, the in-ring microphones picking up her words.
"Thanks for coming out to help me Finn."
"I told you back in Japan that I would always have your back. You're my best friend Lass."
Seth had grabbed a pair of microphones and handed her one of them before speaking.
"I don't know why you came out here to help me, but thank you. It was dangerous, and reckless, and honestly a bit crazy…but thank you."
"You're welcome Seth Rollins. To be honest I think you're a great competitor…and I despise cheaters…plus McIntyre is kind of an ass."
Seth just snorted out a laugh at her proclamation and Dean was chuckling on his sofa as well. The tiny woman certainly had a backbone, but that reckless streak was going to get her hurt one of these days.
"You needed help, and I know your brother Roman Reigns got himself kicked out of the building again…so I figured I'd come and help you out."
"Again….I'm grateful for that…but next time…don't put your pretty self in danger to save me alright?"
She just tilted her head to one side and kissed Seth's cheek before sliding out of the ring and dancing her way back up the ramp. A highly amused Finn Balor following in her wake while Seth stood in the ring looking like a landed fish. Dean was laughing so hard his side was starting to hurt from how easily she had stunned Seth. Now he really couldn't wait to get back out there, not just to help his brother out but meet this little rainbow firecracker.
-Backstage – Iris POV-
"What the hell was that?!"
"Relax Addie…I'm fine."
"You could have gotten seriously hurt out there."
"Nothing happened…I'm fine…get over it."
"I'm your big brother, I worry about you…it's my job."
"I know…but you four trained me to handle pretty much anything. I've got this."
Edge sighed but had to leave shortly after as he had to catch a plane. Iris shook her head at her overprotective brother and continued on, not realizing a camera had started following her down the hallway. Suddenly she was blind-sided and shoved up against a wall with a large hand wrapped around her throat.
"You're playing a dangerous game little girl. You need to stay out of my way before you learn just how deadly this Scottish Psychopath can be."
McIntyre dropped her to the floor as Ziggler finally managed to talk him into letting her go. As McIntyre walked away Ziggler crouched down in front of her and gently moved her hair out of her face.
"You should be more careful, Dollface. Drew's not nice…he's dangerous and he doesn't like it when people get in his way. I would hate to see him mess up that pretty face of yours before I get a chance to have some fun with you."
The echoing sound of a slap rang through the hallway and Dolph was holding his now bright red cheek with a look of shock.
"If you think for one second that I have even the slightest bit of interest in you then you are delusional. Did all that hair bleach seep into your brain? Keep yourself and your psychotic little sidekick away from me. Got it? Good."
Iris stormed off to the catering room where the Hardy Boyz were chatting with various superstars until they saw her face and Jeff pulled her into a hug.
"Whose ass do we have to kick Little Rainbow?"
"No one. I'll handle it myself."
"Lass? Are you alright? They just showed that whole mess on the screen."
"Well shit…that'll put Addie in a great mood, Devitt…I expect a call any minute now."
"Devitt? Why did you call him that?"
"Because, Mattie, I met him in New Japan when he was Prince Devitt, leader of the Bullet Club…Duh."
Finn just laughed and pulled her into a hug as the show came back from commercial break and aired a repeat of what had happened in the hallway.
"Jesus Christ woman…"
"I'll be fine Finn, relax."
The look Finn gave her showed that he most definitely did not agree with her optimism…not even a little bit. Many miles away in Las Vegas someone else was watching the segment be re-aired and unknowingly agreed with Finn Balor's skepticism.
-Dean POV-
After the match was over Dean went to get himself a drink before settling back in to watch, just in time for them to re-air the segment of the little Rainbow woman getting attacked by McIntyre. It was Ziggler's words that made him grit his teeth, but he ended up laughing as the little spitfire out the noodle-head in his place.
"Little Kitten has some claws on her."
He had a feeling her little display against Ziggler was going to come back and bite her in that pretty little ass of hers. He had an idea to fix that problem though and made a phone call.
"Hey Ro…Seth with you?"
"Yeah he's here Bro. What do ya need?"
"Put me on speaker. Alright so I watched the show as always…I assume you both saw what McIntyre and Ziggler did?"
"Yeah, we did…Seth is seething over here."
"Good…because that shit was an injustice…and what do we do when we see an injustice boys?"
"You want us to keep an eye on her?"
"Not exactly Ro…I want you two to rescue her if they go after her again."
"Dean…do you…"
"I'm not gonna lie and say I'm not interested…because I am…but this ain't about that. She's got talent in that ring…she's a natural…and I don't want to see her get run off by those two idiots."
"Dean's right, Ro…she's got a natural talent that's hard to learn…you either have it or you don't. She has a presence out there that the fans gravitate to. She saw me in trouble and did what none of the men in the back, besides you, were willing to do. She stood toe to toe with a guy twice her size."
"Alright boys…you win…we'll do what we can to protect her."
"Good…because I'm coming back soon and when I do…all hell is gonna break loose."
A/N: That's the first chapter of this one. What do you guys think? Hopefully ya'll like this idea. I've got a lot of ideas for this one so far. I also have a couple of other WWE fics in the works as well so keep an eye out for them…and yes they will involve either Dean or Finn…or Both…what can I say I love my boys lol.
