Chapter 7
Just Like Old Times
"The supplier's name is Bronson, he's moving small handguns," Dawn told the three who sat at the round kitchen table, Rose really wasn't interested in jumping back in the game.
"Just small handguns?" Rose questioned the blonde.
"He's trying to corner the pre-teen market" Dawn explained and Rose ran a hand through her hair, Dick watched her, he knew her well enough to know that she only did this when she was stressed. Dawn handed the black tablet over to Dick and Rose looked over his shoulder at the blueprint of the building on the screen. Rose studied the blueprints on the tablet, taking into consideration the exits and the fact there was no high ground to hide in. "Intel says their making a new shipment tomorrow night on the docks and we think we can break the chain"
Dick shifted and grabbed his computer case, setting it on the small table, tapping rapidly, his eyes focused on the computer screen. Rose watched his every move, Dawn took note of that. This was only the second time that Dawn had actually met Rose. She knew that Dick and Rose told each other everything, she was a hacker for the titans behind the scenes when Dick couldn't do the job himself. What she didn't understand was why Rose declined to join the Titans or why she had never told Dick about her run-in with the Joker, even she knew.
"The famous bird computer, Wayne Enterprise Tech." Dawn mused, placing a hand under her chin. "What happened between you two anyway?"
"Dragons!" Rachels's loud voice interrupted, causing two girls to smile at the excitement in her voice. "This show just got so much better!"
"It's a big responsibility" Dawn stated.
"What?" Dick questioned Dawn, causing Rose to roll her eyes. He may have been the smartest guy that Rose knew, but he was also so clueless.
"Taking her in" Dawn clarified before continuing "I know how healing it must be, doing what Bruce did for you after you lost your parents" Dawn looked around the room making sure that nobody else was around before continuing. "But taking care of a kid is complicated, you know that better than anybody"
"I'm not taking her in" Dick spoke causing Roses eyebrows to furrow in confusing and Dick looked to Rose.
"I'm not good at the staying with people part, I don't have to tell either of you that." Rose shook her head in disbelief, the more Dick spoke, the more disappointed in him she got, she knew Dick was always the first person to leave, she had been hoping just this once, he wasn't.
"Look I know things around here are tight, so I thought Alfred could give me some money, maybe help out a bit, help out Rachel at the same time." Dick continued as Rose ran a hand through her hair, shaking her head. "Two birds with one stone' he let out a breathy chuckle "Well three, I guess"
