Finally my first year of college is over; mind you with how hard I got slammed it was still far too long, so these chapters should be coming out a lot faster. I had to make the clue a little harder this time since EVERYONE who guessed at the last one got it right. Care to try your hand again?

Gotham's new rose garden was dark and still damp from the evening watering. With every step the crime fighting duo took, the mud seemed bent on capturing their feet. Roses were bursting in colors of red, white, yellow, pink, and a rare blackish purple. With every flower they pushed out of their path, thorns would slice through fabric and flesh and blood were further water the plants.

Pam sighed and rested her head against the glass wall of her cell. She fidgeted with the potted plant in her hands absentmindedly. It was the blackish purple rose plant that she had helped Thorn plant and care for.

"Is this right?" Pam walked across the cell to stand behind Thorn and observe his work.

"That's perfect honey. Now don't forget to water it." She placed the small plastic watering can on the work table.

"Don't worry, I won't." Thorn hummed while he continued to pat some of the dirt down and gently swung his feet back and forth. After she heard the sound of a much lighter watering can being replaced on the table, Pam decided to breech the question that she had been mulling over for a while.

"You never told me why you wanted to plant a rose in particular." Thorn looked up at her, dirt smudged over his nose and cheek.

"Because it's just like us." Pam raised an eyebrow in the signal for him to continue explaining. "You're really pretty and nice, like a flower, but you're always getting shoved around and stepped on, especially by the Batman." Pam couldn't help but scowl a little at the description. She was NOT shoved around and stepped on, thank you very much. She wasn't some doormat like Harley, but…there were times when she couldn't deny that it felt like every single one of those doctors and lawyers and judges were trying to control her. She supposed that this was as close to a description of that as she was going to get from Thorn, at this age anyway. "So, when I get bigger, I'm gonna be just like these thorns and make sure that nobody can step on you again." Faced with that smile, she didn't have the heart to tell him otherwise.

The next clue was wedged onto one of the thorns of the purple roses and the obtaining of it caused quite a few scratches.

I never said getting these clues would be easy or without sacrifice did I? Batman scowled at the cheeky tone. I suppose you want your next clue but, the jokes on you since I really couldn't think of anything to properly hint at this side stitching place. Oh well, I'm sure you'll figure it out. The hostages want you to hurry though. Tick tock, tick tock.
