Rose's father couldn't have come at a better time. While Slade was out killing the DDA, The Great White Shark and his two thugs continued to beat on her until she was too weak and in pain to continue talking. Sure they could have just drugged her again, but The Great White Shark had a personal vendetta against Deathstroke and therefore, torturing the one thing that he knew that Slade cared about most in the world was just something he couldn't pass up. Slade wasted no time in killing The Great White Shark however, as was apparent when Rose witnessed her father practically tear the man apart in little pieces. She tried to smile up at him from down on the floor in a crumpled heap, but she couldn't even raise her head to look at him. Not only were her arms completely black and blue from their earlier sparring session, and not only did she have a large bloody cut on her arm from his sword, but The Great White Shark and his men had done a number on her as well. Dried blood caked her feminine face, half of her right ear had been cut being the main source of the blood. Rose was also now sporting a black eye, swelling to the point where she could no longer open her right eye.

Upon being picked up gently by her father, she winced in pain as her ribs again felt as if they were on fire, the new pack of smokes that Jason had given her earlier pressing against her side harshly from her leather jacket pocket. No doubt in her mind that at least two of them were cracked, not to mention that her left kneecap had been dislocated.

[i]"My poor Rose...What've they done to you?"[/i]

Rose forced her neck to move so that she could look up to the mask that hid her fathers face, and forced a tired, pained smile.

"Nothing that I knew you couldn't take care of daddy." She said weakly and then fell into her fathers chest as exhaustion won over finally in the end and she slipped off into a deep sleep. She was safe now, she could lower her defenses.
