"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 21:
I Am No Hero
Rose looked around, she was in an alleyway, but how or why? She simply didn't understand how this had happened. She walked down the alley, checking everything out around her, looking for a clue as to how she had ended up here, wherever here was. She felt someone grab her hand and she spun around, but the person was gone and now she was in the Batcave, but not the Batcave she had grown up in.
This one was destroyed to rubble , she looked to the rocks where Dick had laid, her heart began to beat quickly. She rushed over to Dicks body, pulling his limp body into her arms. The tears began to pool out at the realization of what had happened, he was dead. Rose cried out, holding him close as she cried not wanting to let go of the only person who she had ever loved.
Rose looked around, tears pooling out as she noticed another body in the rubble. She looked down at Dick, got to her feet, bending down and wrapping her arms around Dick's shoulders, dragging him in the direction of the other body. Rose looked down at the body, bursting in more tears, pain running through her at the sight of the younger boy; Jason.
She looked at Dick and Jason's body and set her head onto Dick's chest, letting all the pain and hurt pool out as she cried. She couldn't understand how she lost the only people she ever loved all at once. She looked over to Jason's scratched and bloody face, pulling the boys head into her lap, she continued to cry, the tears washing the blood from his face.
"HaHaHa" chills ran up Rose's spine, the tears came to a stop at the sound of the laughter. Rose stared forward, working up the courage to turn around. She used the ground beside her to push herself to her feet, anger boiled inside her blood. He took away the only people she had ever cared for, she would kill him for it or die in the process.
Rose turned around, staring daggers at the clown. His green hair was a mess, his face painted white with black around his eyes and red around his mouth. Rose didn't have her weapon, but he didn't seem to have one either. Rose had gotten better at her hand to hand combat and now she would find out just how much better she had gotten.
"I'm going to kill you with my bare hands" Rose spoke like there was poison on her tongue, each word filled with rage and anger as she got in an offensive stance.
"That is not the way of the heroes" The Joker spoke, a smirk on his face that made Roses blood boil even more.
"I am no hero" Rose spoke the last sentence and ran at the Joker, sending her fist into his face causing him to stumble backward. Rose sent her foot into the side of his body and quickly retaliated by sending it into his stomach, causing him to fall onto his back. Rose jumped on top of the man, sending her hand into his face multiple times, she had lost count.
