HELLFIRE. (dick grayson)

❛ when the heart would cease,
ours never knew peace.
it was too soon
when that part of you was ripped away❜

Charlie Cruz has been missing for four years.

It's been four years since her apartment had been found left in shambles; the furniture broken or upside down; blood stains on the couch and the tousled sheets bed; wooden shards from the trapped-in doors on the floor; a knife with traces of a dead person's blood on the kitchen counter; and thick and black goo sipping between the floorboard's cracks.

It's been four year since Nightwing opened his missed voice messages and heard the shaken-up voice of his Charlie call out to him: ''Dick, I've found this girl. I'm in my apartment.... I know it's stupid, but I need your help.''
