It was the weekend Rose has been looking forward to since possibly move-in day. Jim was coming to see Rose. He had called earlier in the week, telling her that he believed that he had found the person Rose has been waiting for.

And Rose couldn't wait to get this personal bodyguard, no matter how much of a spoil rich girl this made her come off as. But the messages were getting worse. It started off as once a day, since the first one. Rose would read them before deleting the chat. It only got worse though during the month. Multiple times a day Rose would get notifications, and she started to get text messages as well.

Whoever this person was, was now harassing her. They somehow managed to find her phone number. What would be next? Phone calls harassing her? Constantly calling her Flower? Making promises that she and this stranger would be united?

She hated the idea that this person was trying to act like him. The person wasn't him though. That was something that she had to constantly remind herself. That he was gone. Gone for good.

But that's not the point at the moment. Jim would be on campus at any minute, and Rose needed to get those thoughts out of her mind for him. She would have at least that day to spend with Jim. Catch him up on everything about her college life, which would mainly be her classes.

Rose bounced to her door when she heard a knock on it. It had to be Jim no doubt.

"Hey kiddo," Rose smiled at the sight of the exhausted officer. She lead the way into the small room where they could talk for a little bit. "How's it been?"

"It's been good," Rose told him while moving some stuff off her bed. "Classes are classes, but nothing that I can't hand-"

She cut herself to see the notorious bald assassin standing behind Jim. It amazed her that Jim and Victor Zsasz were able to get to the campus without shooting each other. Rose wondered why he was here though.

Zsasz worked for Oswald Penguin, the same man who's mother was killed by Theo Galavan. Her own uncle. Let's not mention what else Tabitha might've done to him as well.

"Am I going to die?" Rose's voice shook while she spoke. She looked to Jim feeling the palms of her hands starting to sweat. She didn't know what to do.

"No, no, no," Jim assured Rose, rushing to sit down next to her. He hugged her close to him, continuing to assure her that she wasn't going to die any time soon.

"Officer Gordon said that I was needed for my skills." Zsasz spoke slowly while looking around the girl's room, picking things up and examining them closely before putting them down. "I hope I get something good out of this."

"He was the only option?" Rose breathed out, hugging herself as she slowly processed what was happening. Victor Zsasz, notorious assassin of Gotham, was standing in her dorm room. An assassin, that Jim hired, would play the part as Rose's little bodyguard. She wouldn't believe it had she not seen it in the moment.

"The only one I could think of. You said no police officers," as Jim continued to explain himself, Rose could almost see things clearly now. Police station most likely hated her because of her association with her uncle and him.

So any police officer was out. That basically left anyone on the streets, but again, they most likely hated Rose because she was part of the high class. Everything could be given to her at her asking.

So yes, Victor Zsasz was technically the only option for Rose. Safest would be debatable for Rose.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you." As much as she should've been comforted by that, Rose didn't feel such that. "Just anyone who threatens you."

'It sounds so much like him' Rose thought to herself, hearing his voice echo through her head. Hearing the little cackle as the end of it.

Rose squeezed her eyes and slowly reminded herself that he was gone. Can't come back at all. Like she's always been doing since that day. When she saw it all happen.

"Everything alright Rose?" Jim's voice broke the girl from her own thoughts.

Rose nodded her head, opening her eyes to stare at the carpeted floor. "Yeah," she assured him, looking up to see Victor Zsasz staring down at her. "Everything's going to fine now."
