This is the end! I'm really sad this story is over, but it was so much fun to write and share with everyone. Thank you to everyone, your comments kept me going and made me see that my writing is not as bad as I thought. I know I'm not the best, but it's nice to see comments liking the story and theories about what will happen next. It made my day and encouraged me to keep going and finish.

Anyway, enjoy the finale!:)

"Bray, what are you planning?"

Bray looked over at his brothers-in-arms, smirking. "Whatever do you mean Luke?"

The two were outside on the balcony as their third ally, Erick Rowan, was sleeping peacefully in one of the beds.

"You know what I mean." Luke replied as a breeze rolls by them. "With the whole 'rescuing Dean' thing."

Bray chuckled, "Thought I made that reason very clear."

"Nothing with you is clear as glass. It's more a thick fog if anything."

Both men chuckled.

"But really, why the sudden interest in Dean?"

"…It's not a sudden thing. I've…always had a soft spot for him. Since our feud with the Shield earlier this year."

"You sensed something huh?"

"Kind of. I sensed how close he was to them, like they were a light for him. Then with Seth attacking them, the light seemed to dim. He seemed more distant, not wanting to make allies with others."

"His trust seemed to disappear you mean. But he still was close to Roman."

"True, but I'm not sure that's the case anymore, not with what just happened."

"At Money in the Bank?"

"Leading to it. Notice Roman barely came out to assist his so called brother. During the contract match, Roman didn't come out and help against Kane when he came out to assist Seth."

Luke pondered for a moment, "..Alright. True, maybe he could have came out to even the interference odds. But maybe he thought it was Dean's match and Dean can fight his own battles."

"Yes, very true. But still, when there's interference, why not make the fight even?"

"Point there."

"Anyway, then at Battleground, the brute didn't come out to help Dean at all. Not when security threw him out of the building, not when Seth was talking ill of him, and not when he returned and attacked Seth, nothing. Only concerning himself with his title match later on in the night."

"But he did come out at Summerslam to nullify Kane." Luke countered. "And he appeared the night after trying to help Dean against Seth and Kane so where are you going with this?"

"Notice the word you just said there. Trying. He tried and failed at saving his brother. Take that whole time Dean was gone, how did Roman respond?"

Luke took a few moments to remember. His eyes went wide with the realization. "…Pester the Authority for answers."

"Exactly. He went to the enemy, hoping he would make them spill everything. Why not get aid from people outside the company? Like the police and such."

"Maybe he wanted to play hero and save Dean himself."

"Not everyone can handle the pressure a cape holds."

Both were silent for a while, each lost in their own thoughts. Luke pondered more on Bray's words. Seemed he was testing the friendship Dean and Roman shared and wanted to see how far Roman would go for him. It still doesn't really explain the rescuing. Unless…Bray feared Roman would take to long and Dean would….be no more. He wondered if there was more to the rescuing.

"You're wondering why I saved Dean huh?"

Luke didn't seem surprised, Bray always seemed to pinpoint the exact thing that was bothering him.

"You didn't exactly answer the question."

"Like I said, have a soft spot for him. Wanted him safe, nothing more or less about it."

"You want to be his light."

Bray looked away, staring into the distance. Maybe he did. He often worried with all the arguing the three were having at the time that Dean would be left in the dust. That the two would abandon him, throw him away like trash. Seth did, who's the say Roman won't as well?

Luke could sense Bray didn't want to discuss more, and/or maybe not having an exact answer himself. So he changed topics.

"Going back to Roman, you think he can't play the hero role well?"

Bray nods, "Yes. He thought more with his heart than his head. This experience proves that."

"So…what happens now?"

Bray laughs.

"Now, we test further. Wonder how he would respond…when his brother is a target…of the Eater of Worlds."
