More Than Meets The Eye

Playing With 'Hats'

Purpledolpin05: So I have noticed that they're not many stories about Roman and Riker (the closest ones here are mostly Briker, which I don't mind shipping) sorry guys but my favorite twin of the two is Roman. (Don't worry Riker, you're still lovable) plus, villains are so fun to write especially when you come up with a good but sad backstory for them. I mean, I wrote a Marcus AU one-shot so I figured why not do a Roman and Riker one? I think their brotherly relationship could be considered as close. Plus I'd like to think that all villains had a reason to be evil; or must have been good at SOME point of life; or even if they are evil they were once nice. Or Roman and Riker are basically the 'Noatak and Tarlok' of the Elite Force (sorry I am a Legend of Korra fan) I have read stories where Roman and Riker are evil, mostly Roman.

I do not own Elite Force or any of the characters, except for my Original Characters.

So we all know Roman and Riker as the villain brothers setting out to destroy and kill every superhero in existence. And we also know why they are doing so: to avenge their father, former superhero Rodissiuss, who had lost his powers when Kaz and Oliver removed them (the powers) to save his life.

But let's take a deeper view of the two brothers, shall we? Basically an insight of their lives before villains.

"Mom! Mom! Mom!" 2 year old Roman was bouncing up and down.

"What is it Roman?" Their mother Rina, placed down the novel she was reading, as she asked her older son. Rina is a middle-aged mother with tanned skin that Roman inherited from, a warm kind smile, and long raven-black hair tied into a low ponytail.

"Riker is putting on a new hat!" Roman exclaimed, motioning at Riker. Compared to Roman who picked up quickly at talking, Riker was a bit of a slow learner. Roman (aged 2) has tanned skin, beautiful brown eyes he got from his dad, and his mother's smile and hair. Riker on the other hand has rather paler skin than Roman, he was so chubby with his hamster cheeks and cute brown eyes.

Riker walked over, with something on his head. As soon as Rina spotted her younger son, she started bursting into laughter. You know when you buy those swimsuits you have one of those cups in female swimsuits? Yeah well Rina left some of them out to dry after their family trip to the beach recently and Riker had mistaken that as a hat.

"What's so funny mom?" Roman asked.

"Riker, honey, do you know what this is for?" Rina asked, stiffling her laugh, she grabbed the cup from the toddler's head.

"Of course. His head!" Roman replied innocently, Riker grabbed the cup before placing it onto his head.

"Ok," the raven-haired mother giggled, before trying on the 'hat'. "You mean you do it like this?"

"No momma!" Roman shook his head, speaking on the behalf of his brother.

"You can't pull it off like Rikey does!" Roman added before Riker grabbed the 'hat' from Rina's hair as the toddler placed it onto his head again.

"Oh well, boys will be boys!" Rina mumbled, rolling her eyes while giggling at Roman and Riker chasing each other around the living room.

"Hey boys! Look at the tv now!" Rina switched on the TV, which is showing a scene where her husband Rodissiuss was leading his new mentee, a youthful blonde boy of merely 18 years old called Tecton". Rodissiuss was mentoring his pupil to take down some robbers from stealing a goldsmith's store.

"Look, it's daddy!" Rina exclaimed, happily

"Daddy!" Roman and Riker cheered, as they sat near the TV, watching their father (and his pupil, mostly just looking at their dad)fighting crimes.

"Daddy is so cool! I wanna be just like dad when I grow up!" Roman gushed, while Riker tried to punch the air like what his father did on TV.

"I'm home!" Rodissiuss announced as he unlocked the doors as he walked inside.

"DADDY!" Roman and Riker squealed as they rushed to hug their dad.

"Welcome back, honey!" Rina smiled. Rina was head nurse of Mighty Med (mostly in charge of childcare) before she retired to look after her sons after birth. She and Rodissiuss had been trying to have children for years, and she nearly died from the infection on her C-section since her sons were born 2 months early than expected.

"So, how are my two favorite boys today?" Rodissiuss smiled, before noticing what Riker was wearing as a Samurai helmet.

"Aw, what are you wearing?" Rodissiuss asked, glancing at his wife, chuckling.

"A hat!" Roman replied naïvely, before Riker rushed back moments later carrying the other pair of the cups as he placed it on Roman's head.

Rina motioned that it was from her swimsuit before the couple chuckled.

"You might gonna regret that when you're older, sons!" Rodissiuss added. Riker and Roman looked at their parents, as the two shrugged and continued playing with their 'hats'.

"Boys will be boys!" Rina rolled her eyes as she made tea for her and her husband. The two smiled as they watched their sons playing Samurai Toddlers and chasing around the living room in circles. Eventually Roman got his hands on his father's old harmonica as he started playing a merry little tune while Riker started spinning around the room as he giggled and danced.

Purpledolpin05: Whelllp, here you have it folks! A drabble of little Roman and little Riker.

Castings for Rina, Roman and Riker:

Rina- Connie Kwon (RIP Connie) from What's Up Moms. I just loved her old videos, if only she had lived longer! (cries) I always get teared up when I watch the Remembering Connie video on YouTube

Roman- Ford Walker from What's Up Moms, son of Elle. He's so cute and adorable, I can see him as a kid Roman

Riker- Isaac from Bubzvlogs, Isaac is like a sweet chubby little potato, kinda like a baby version of Riker.

Rodissiuss- ( I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'D LOOK LIKE AS A YOUNGER VERSION, OK?!) But he would look like Andrew, Connie's husband from WhatsUpMoms.
