"Rose, I look at you and I think you're a lot like me. There are these things I have to do. Not want but have to. I can do them alone but I bet whatever it is that's in me is in you? and I don't want you to get hurt."

Chapter 9: Who The Hell Are You?
"What happened with the Joker? tell me the truth please Rose?" The two had only been driving for a matter of minutes, Rose didn't expect him to get so serious so quickly.
"Dick" she sighed, she didn't want to tell him, but she also knew that it would be a long drive if she decided not to tell him. "He found out who I was and he beat the shit out of me, okay? I seriously don't want to talk about it Richard" Dick's eyes met hers and he knew from the look on her face that the past pained her, he knew how she felt.
"I tore the Titans apart," He told her quietly, she watched as he looked back the road. Rose swallowed as she nodded, she knew what had done, she knew that he understood what she was going through. The two looked forward at the road ahead of them.
"Look at us, hey?" She asked the boy sarcastically as the two looked at each other before each letting out a chuckle.
Dick slowed down the vehicle, pulling into the gas station where he was informed that Rachel was last seen at. Rose got out of the car, looking around at the police cars and a fire truck that surrounded the gas station. Rose followed Dick who flashed his detective badge to a sheriff who nodded.
Rose took in her surroundings, the gas station restroom seemed to be burnt, small chunks of concrete surrounded the broken side. She made her way over to the coroners who were about to zip a body bag up, Roses eyebrows furrowed at the sight of the body.
"interesting" she mumbled, catching Dick's attention.
"What's so interesting?"
"This wasn't caused by some ordinary fire," she told Dick as the coroners took the body away, Dick raised an eyebrow at the girl hoping she would continue. "That body was practically ash including the bones, either he had to be in that fire for at least two hours or it had to be a hotter than usual fire and I mean at least 500 degrees Celcius or more"
Dick turned and Rose followed as he made his way into the back entrance of the Gas Station into the office. He sat down on the crappy chair, plugging a USB into the system. Rose watched his fingers type away, Dick pulled the USB from the computer. He stood up making his way out of the office as Rose quickly followed, trying to match his quick strides.
The two jumped in the vehicle and he leaned over Rose, reaching into the glove compartment, pulling out a black tablet. Rose felt the heat in her cheeks as she glared at Dick who smirked at the brunette. Rose crossed her arms watching the boy fiddle with the tablet before leaning over making sure Rose could watch the tablet as well.
The two watched as the familiar-looking teen was led to the washroom, by the same man from last night. A few seconds later a woman with magenta hair walked towards where Rose had guessed the bathroom as well, a second later Rachel left with the woman with magenta hair, leaving in a blue vehicle.
