Nightwing didn't even know where Batman was, and right now, he didn't care. He was losing quite a bit of blood from the gunshots he took earlier. So much so that he was beginning to feel woozy. He shook his head. He had to keep going. For Helena.
Helena woke up barely able to move. The last thing she remembered was a chick with a Spanish accent saying something about her being with Dick.
"Well nice of you to join us" said Catalina appearing from the corner of the cell.
Helena tried to move but couldn't. "What the hell did you do to me you psycho bitch?" screamed Helena, hoping that Dick or the Bat would hear her.
Catalina put on a fake hurt face but quickly smiled. Well, for starters, I injected you with a heavy concentrated dose of muscle relaxers, so you might not be able to move for a while. You should be thankful that you're not dead, yet. She then walked up to Helena and looked her straight in the eyes. "You see, Nightwing belongs to the Tarantula. And the Tarantula doesn't like it when other people touch her things." And with that, Catalina turned to face the bars. "Oh and don't worry, the Batman will receive his punishment tonight as well. My plan is going perfectly. And to think, all I had to do was let loose one of Dick's past flames. Did he ever tell you that he dated a criminal one time? That he fell in love with her? That the two were gonna run away together?" Catalina began tearing up. "The story is the same as mine. The only difference is that he didn't love me. But he will" finished Catalina with both of her fists clenched.
Nightwing was still looking for Helena when he heard a noise. He quickly moved his head just in time to avoid being hit in the head by a throwing knife.
"Aww. I missed. Don't worry honey, I'll get you one day" said a voice from the shadows that brought back a rush of memories.
"Rose?" called out Nightwing as the tall, sleek, silver haired beauty walked out. Although her father, Slade Wilson, was one of his greatest enemies, she was the only person that he had let in completely.
"The one and only" answered Rose walking out with a smile and pulling out her sword to lean on.
"Listen Rose, I have to find the Huntress. I could really use your help."
"Hmm. You know, this Spanish-speaking chick busted me out if I helped her in her plan so I'm kind of busy."
Just from the description of her accent, he knew who broke her out.
"Rose, if you ever felt anything for me, you would help me find the Huntress and the woman who busted you out." He had to jump to avoid the next throwing knife.
"You bastard. You would dare minimize what we had to a stupid ultimatum? I loved you. And I know you loved me. All you had to do was sign and we would've been together." Rose was letting the tears flow from her one good eye.
Dick stared at her. She had obviously given this a lot of thought, but so had he. "Rose, listen" Dick started to walk forward but stopped because of the pain and lack of balance. He raised his head. "Rose, what we had was special. Had I signed the certificate, who knows, we might live in the mountains with three kids. But I had to protect the people of Bludhaven. I couldn't just turn my back on them."
Rose was quiet for awhile. She finally stood up and dried her eyes. "You know what? The lady said that you'd say that" and with that, she charged Nightwing with her sword.
Hey guys. I know that this chapter was really short. This was mainly for exposition and to introduce the ex from the past. Rose Wilson. She is going to be a big part of the story later on and this was mainly to give speculation to what Catalina is planning. Like why is she using Rose? Why hasn't she just killed Helena? What else is left to be revealed in her plan? All will be revealed in time. PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW. I ask because I want to know how you guys think the story is going and I would love to hear any ideas or anything. Thanks for the support I appreciate it so much. Again sorry about the length, I'll make next chapter extra long. Finally, PLEASE REVIEW :) Bye
