The Assassins

#16 The Heart Break

This one's a little longer than usual but I hope you like it none the less.

Damian picked Rose up, off her feet, holding her bridal style. "Put me down!" Rose yelled in his face, and was about to continue when Damian kissed her. "Wake up!" Damian screamed. Rose was out of it ever since that mission. It was the mission where they had to find The All, a villain that can become anyone.

"Hey, you okay?" Damian asked, looking into her cyan blue eyes, worry spread across her face. "Better now that you're here. What happened to Hersh?" (Hersh, Romani Hersh is All) "He's in prison, don't worry." Little did Damian know, Rose was in prison.

Time skip cuz time skip

"Well, look she got hit hard and is in her first real relationship. You can't expect Rose to stay the same." Jaime said, assuring his friend. They were walking around Titans Tower, well Damian was. Jaime was flying. "Yeah, but we have been dating fo a few months now. She never acted like this before."

"Could you two please stop? You're getting on my nerves!" Babs yelled into the comms, ferociously. "No." Damian replied, sending him and everyone else on the comm link into an explosion of laughter. Babs shuts down the comms and Jaime flys down to Damian.

Just before either of them can even speak, there's an explosion in the distance, in Gotham. No one hears it, so they go on with their day. "We better check this out!" Jaime told Damian, showing him a cam that shows Rose blowing up the Gotham Outlaws base of operations.

You know what it is

"Rose! What the hell are you doing?" By the time the two got there, Rose was planting a bomb in Wayne Manor. "Rose Wilson is dead!" Hersh turns around while tearing the face of Rose off. Damian lunges at Romani, stabbing him. He wouldn't die, but he will go to the ER.

"No. He has to be lying! NOOOO!" Damian screeched, tears flooding his face. Jaime ran over to comfort his friend, his helmet peeling back. The scarab starts blinking rapidly. "Scarab says she is still alive!" But it didn't matter. Damian's world was shattered to the point of no return. Even if Rose comes back, he'll never be the same. He lost his father, and now his entire world.

Time skip one month

"Damian! We found the last base!" Jaime called out, smiling. She had to be alive. "Then let's go." Damian spoke coldly, which was a now a norm. "Come on, hermano. She is still alive." Jaime reached out, trying to grab onto the old Damian. "Do you really think that?" Damian asked, hope draining in his voice.

Time skip why do I still tell you this stuff

As Damian kicked the last thug in the place where the sun don't shine, a voice could be heard. "You're gonna pay for this, you hear me!" Rose's voice could be heard if you listened closely. "Rose?" Damian said thoughtfully.

As Damian kicks the wall in, Rose is seen caged. "ROSE!" Damian screams, slicing the cage with his sword. The two run into each other and kiss, and stay that way for a few minutes. "I thought I lost you." "I don't die that easily." Rose smiled.

Yay another one.

"Hey, we haven't gone out on a real date. Where should we go? I say we picnic outside Wayne Manor." Rose offers, and Damian stays silent. "No." Rose was confused. "No? Why not?" "Me and Jaime promised not to tell anyone."

Damian was distraught, but training with the league teaches to hide emotions well. "Well if you can't tell me why, then we're over." Rose's eyes start to fill with tears. Damian turns to look her in the eyes, and kisses her. Then, he left.

"Tell me!" Rose yelled at Jaime, grabbing him by the shoulder and turning him toward herself. "It's where Damian saw fake you die!" Jaime blurts out, terrified that he just ruined his friendship with Damian. "He never mentioned me dying." Rose whispered, thinking to herself. "Scarecrow." And with that, Jaime flew away. "That's why." Rose pondered.

TS

"Damian? Damian, it's me, Rose. I need to talk to you." Rose knocked one last time before kicking the door in. "Damian, why didn't you tell me?" Rose yelled in his face, not thinking about Damian's emotions. He couldn't reply. By trying not to resurface memories of Rose dying, of him killing her, he pushed her away.

"TALK TO ME!" Rose screamed, tears streaming down her face, her hair in a mess. "TALK TO ME, GOD—-"DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME? I GOT TO WATCH MYSELF KILL YOU! I LOVED YOU! THAT'S WHY!" Damian yelled back at her, standing up, tears flooding down his face onto his chest. All Rose could see were the scars. Some of them were recent, and some looked self inflicted. "I am so sorry, but you have to see that you weren't telling me the whole truth."

"I thought that you didn't love me anymore, or that your love changed." Rose added, and was going to add more when Damian lunged himself onto her, a deep kiss forming between the two of them. 28 minutes later, they pull apart.

"I could never stop loving you. And my love never changes when it comes to you." Damian smiles, going back to the Damian that Rose fell in love with. "So about that picnic," Damian begins, "If you wanna go, I'll go with you." Damian offered, hoping that she said yes. "Hell yes." Rose smiles back at, gleaming with joy.

Holy fuck. That was a lot. I am so sorry if it seems everything was rushed or if it all seemed like it all just spread out. Hope you like it!
