Rose didn’t even get a briefing about the job Deathstroke and Ravager had just been hired for. No, she was to pack and load into the helicopter. While flying there, Slade finally lets her in on the job’s details.
“Don’t bitch about who hired us. We’re being paid well to help out the Joker,” Slade begins. “We’re being paid well, and we won’t really be working with him, or his new little sidekick. Well, you might be.”
Rose scowls at him. She knows better than to speak up about it, but this is cementing her will to get out from his shadow and establish herself. She’d never work with the Joker by choice. This is disgusting. “New sidekick?” She asks. This is the first she’s hearing about it.
“Yeah. don’t know much. Could be the Robin that disappeared,” He speculates. “I wouldn’t envy the Bat if that’s the case.” He rattles off more trivial facts as they get closer to Gotham.
Rose could not care less. She’s interested in this sidekick. What kind of person could they be? Why would they work with the Joker? No matter the answers, Rose doesn’t look forward to meeting them.
Twenty minutes later Slade is setting the chopper down on top of the old Casino. Apparently they’re expected as there are people waiting for them.
