character: Nightwing<br/>location: his dorm<br/>time: Sunday evening 8:30 PM<br/>tag: Raven<br/><hr/><br/>"Batman is missing...That's why Tim was late..and there is a mass breakout of Arkham City..now criminals and psychopaths are flooding the streets, overwhelming GCPD, but whats worse, there is someone running around dressed up , and claiming to be batman, who is outright killing people. The JLA isn't responding, Captain Atom says they're dealing with something off world..."<br/><br/>Richard was clearly trying to look for a way out, "Sometimes Rachel? I wish I could just take you and..run off. Our lives have been so..fucked up..the start of my life was a damn circus boy...I've never known a normal life... and...well..neither have you..and you're three lives in.." He turns closer towards her, "Did..you love me? those years ago when you..stopped the wedding..ever since then..I have doubts if the 'illusion' of love you put in me was..an illusion...only..amplified..."<br/><br/>He blushed as he looked at her, "I know..I'm messed up Rachel...but I've been trying to find some kind of normalcy..and right now..." He rest a hand softly on hers, "It feels more distant than ever..but you.. you are the one woman..whose been there from the start..Hell I went inside your soul three times! You're beautiful..smart...and I'm a fool for having ignored such an amazing woman in front of me. IT might be too late now..I dunno..but I still wish I could run off with you..be with you..."<br/><br/>She could tell  he was being genuine. He felt love for Rachel. He had been suppressing it all this time, as with many of his other emotions. for an empath like her, seeing this form Richard was something truly beautiful to behold
