There's three things an individual has to remember every day.
A constant reminder that we are all in an endless loop.
A past,
that no longer exist.
The present,
one is experiencing.
A future,
that is in
the
constant
state
of flux.

Silence. All of them were, silent. Grayson held the picture with a steady hand, his eyes searching for something... anything that could pin point the killer. Something, beside the obvious to him.
Acid, was pour on these deceased individuals. All of them; familiar faces to him but, his face remained cold and unnerved. Rachel was seated by his feet also eyeing the photographs scattered across the coffee table. Her head dropping occasionally; eye lids begged to rest after hours of travel in the confined vehicle. Yet, she could not find the courage too not after what had happen.
Across from them, Jason interlaced his hands. Elbows resting above either knee while, his head dropped occasionally resting his forehead on his hands.
"Bruce sent me to find you after the first two attacks." Todd finally revealed to them.
Kory eyed him before her eyes settled on Y/n's figure; who was sitting just a few feet away from him. Her green eyes locked onto the papers displayed before them as her mind recalled the female's yells, echoing...desperately just few minutes prior to the this silent atmosphere.
"Attacks?" Dick asked his question weighing heavily in the air. "He murdered these people... How did you even get these?!"
Jason's tongue swiped his dry lips, trying to restrain himself from lashing at the male before him. "They were sent to the Gotham PD addressed to 'Robin' . Whoever this is sent them there, thinking you're still Robin." His snarking comment muted them.
"I know these people." Grayson hissed as he tossed the image to the center of the table.
"From Haly's Circus."
This comment wasn't a guess but, a conformation. They had managed to finish his sentence. The room suddenly felt smaller than it should, everyone alert at the sudden tempetuare drop.
Y/n looked up as locking her eyes with his. The detective was watching her, waiting for her to continue. "How do you know that?" The green hair teenager asked, anxious just as the others in the room. Garfield watched as Y/n didn't look up. Her head lowered, trying to conceal her eyes from everyone present.
"I was there." Her voice, breathy. It was softer than he had ever heard her speak. Grayson watched as she wiped away stray tears before repeating the phrase louder for the second time. Yet, her eyes stayed locked onto the ground.
Raw; that's what she felt when her throat clenched again as she swallowed another low cry. The room was now focused on her, it felt as if air stilled making the room musty and humid. Every individual could sense it.
"I know." Richard let out. Y/n's head snapped up the second the words left his lips. "You were that night; before...I remember you."
