Rose lay on on her bed, with head on Jason's chest, and her finger tracing along his stomach, while he played with her hair. The others left a little while ago, and they were just laying here, comfortable in each other's silence. So many thoughts were running through her enhanced mind. What could he possibly think of her?
"What's on your mind, Rosey?", he asked.
"Nothing."
"Just tell me."
"There's nothing to tell, Boy Wonder."
He leaned in, giving her a kiss on her forehead. It was obviously a lie. He knew. She knew he knew. He knew she knew he knew. But, of course, it was Rose. Hidden emotions was her whole thing. "Do you remember how we met?"
Rose propped herself on her elbow, with a confused look. "Of course. Why?"
"Because when you're feeling vulnerable or worried, I want you to remember that moment."
Rose remembered like it was yesterday, except it had already been a year that they been in each other's lives. Rose stayed with Dick, Jason's adoptive brother, when she was in Gotham or Blüdhaven. They had just finished a mission, and while Dick sorted details out with Batdad and the commissioner, he sent Rose home to get some rest, as she was still new and had been working hard. Rose got out of the shower, wore bra and panties, a long t shirt, and walked out of the bathroom. All of a sudden, she heard the refrigerator open... And a beer opening... That didn't sound like Dick. She grabbed a knife and headed quietly towards the kitchen. She saw a man in a brown leather jacket, with a red hood and mask covering his face. He was facing her, and set down the beer as he saw her. She reacted quickly, jumping up from behind him, and pinning him down to the ground. She had a knife to his neck and he held a gun to her head.
"What do you want?", she demanded.
He looked confused, as though he was trying to remember something. Then it clicked to him. There aren't that many beautiful girls with an eye patch and silver hair. "Wait,", he paused as he pulled off his mask. "Rose?"
To her surprise, she saw a familiar face. "Jason?"
Just then, Dick walked through the door. He wasn't looking at them, he was looking down at a file and he walked towards the kitchen.
"...Rose, I talked to Commissioner... woah, Rose, calm down. It's okay. This is Jason. He's my younger brother.", he said, wide-eyed, as he put the file down on the counter, and helped Rose and Jason up.
"Yeah, I know.", she responded, while Jason and Rose stared at each other.
"What do you mean you know?", he asked.
"I infiltrated N.O.W.H.E.R.E. as a guard with Roy, which is where I ran into Deathstroke Jr over here.", Jason gestured to Rose. Dick looked at Rose confused.
Rose looked over to Dick. "I figured it out, and started attacking him, but he ended up giving me an antidote. That's when I told him where he could find the files he was looking for... Except I didn't know that you were Red Hood, or that you were even Dick's younger brother." She looked back at Jason and Dick, expecting an explanation.
Dick sighed. "It's a long story." Dick focused his attention on Jason. "Jason, why are you here?"
"Well, ironically enough...", he started as he pulled out files and set them out on the kitchen counter. "It has to do with the files I took from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. 6 months ago. The drug that's in Gotham right now, it's being manufactured by N.O.W.H.E.R.E., and I thought the base where the drug was being produced was destroyed, which means there shouldn't be any of it on the streets..."
"Jason, you can't just destroy everything and hope the problem gets solved."
"Listen, Dick. I have details you need. I know you and the bats are working on this case, and I want the drug off the streets too."
Dick sighed and walked towards the fridge. "Fine."
"Guess you're stuck with me for a while.", said Jason as he smirked and winked at Rose, making her smirk back as she rolled her eye.
"Okay, Jason. Get to the point.", Rose said, smiling.
"The point is, Rosey, that I knew you were special. It's like life kept trying to push us together. To be honest, I didn't have to stay, and I wasn't going to... But when I saw you again, staying with my brother out of all people... I just had to. That's why you should remember that moment. 5 minutes with your silver ass and I was already captivated by your fearless and soft spirit.", he said pushing her hair out of her face. He wasn't sure how she would react, but it just came out of him.
Rose wasn't smiling anymore. She suddenly was on top of him, with her hands around his cheeks, kissing him aggressively.
