→ OCTAVIA LAID OUT all the pictures of the haly's circus' member out on the glass table and sat in the middle of jason and dick.

"how did you get these?" dick asked.

"my contact." octavia said, giving dick a knowing look. dick nodded slightly, looking down at the pictures.

"i know these people..." dick said. "tell me about it.." octavia said softly.

"abigail..." octavia said softly, placing her hand on the picture of abigail with a melted face, "she's been teaching me acrobatics for years."

"we worked with them." dick said.

"at the circus." octavia added.

"before your parents got..." jason trailed off. octavia nodded, "yeah."

"must've sucked." jason said.

"he burns them with acid." jason added.

"hydrofluoric acid." dick corrected.

"calling card of the maroonie crime family. harvey den, your parents—"

"i know." dick cut jason off.

"tony zucco worked for the maroonies when our parents got killed. they were put away years ago." dick said.

"why'd he do it?" jason asked.

"the circus owed the maroonies protection money. couldn't come up with the cash, so our parents paid the debt with their lives." octavia explained.

jason nodded. "papers call this guy the melting man. because he melts their flesh right off their bone." jason explained.

"creepy as shit, huh?" jason asked.

"it's actually pretty cool if you think about it." octavia said, blandly.

dick and jason looked at her. octavia looked at both of them, "not cool?"

"no."

"okay, not cool."

"any idea who this freak is?" jason asked dick.
