It was 2 days after the competition and the buzz had died down. Though the search for Lola franklin was still on going. Bruce had Tim ,Stephanie and dick searching for her but so far there was no luck. "How can she just disappear like that?",Stephanie said looking at her map of where they had checked so far. "I've scanned the city multiple times nothing.",red robin said frustrated. "To be honest I'd rather Bruce just drop this case.",spoiler said angrily. Nightwing looked back at her."We have to keep looking and that's Bruce's order""since when have you taken orders from Bruce you an independent hero dick",spoiler said. Nightwing looked away. Stephanie hated Lola she had always picked on Stephanie even though Stephanie was now older then Lola, Lola still managed to push Stephanie around."I'm giving another day at this and then I'm quitting.",Spoiler said putting her hands up."stop sulking Steph I know this is tedious for you.",red robin said trying to calm her down. "She's probably fine wherever that witch is.",spoiler said as she crossed her arms and red robin put his arm around her.

About 3 miles from where they were staked out there was the old franklin chemical labs and that's where Lola was. She was sitting on the floor in the abandoned entrance of the factory. She was still in her stage clothes. Her mascara had run and dried on her face. Her fake curls had become frizzy and the purple dye in her hair had faded to strange colour. The dress she had worn was filthy at the bottom and she was humming a nursery rhyme.

"Mary Mary quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockleshells
And pretty maids all in a row."

She laughed to herself. "I'm Mary."
"And who are pretty maids then?",she asked her self." Well Elena you can be one",
Then she heard a noise. "Elena is that you coming to comfort me again?",she sniggered."this I will cut your other eye so they will match",she said as she pulled out a piece of broken glass. "You poor thing",a voice whispered from the shadows. Lola looked around holding the piece of glass firmly."I'm reconsidering comforting you",the voice said. It stepped out from the shadows. Lola dropped the piece of glass. "You.."she said in shock. "Your good old papa left me in charge of you until he can figure a way out of jail."Lola stood back."oh come on dear",he held out his hand."I liked the song you were singing",he said trying to win her trust. Lola was still hesitant. He sighed."I'll help you get revenge.",he smiled so did Lola and she grabbed his hand. "Now let's get you cleaned up",he said. "How are you with clowns?",he asked. Lola looked confused and he laughed."don't worry I'm only joking."

**explanation**
The nursery rhyme is actually very creepy. It's based off queen Mary the sister of queen Elizabeth who tried to make England catholic again but failed and she was a little crazy. "With silver bell and cockleshells"
"And pretty maids all in a row"
This meant if she felt a maid was prettier then her she would torture them or kill them"

Lol please tell me I made it obvious enough for everyone to figure who Lola was with.
