replacing a thermostat that is battery operated. I have a 2nd gen nest thermostat. i can buy from amazon a 24 volt 2 wire that could power the thermostat. But how would i wire with the red and white cable going to the fireplace?

Thanks Jake
So i hooked up the the white wire to W1 the read to RH , this is from the fireplace
24 volt to C and the other wire to RC
The Nest works but sometimes it does not recognize RH which is the Red from the fireplace.
When i put a tester on the wires from the fireplace there is no power coming from the fireplace
It only works if the i add the 24 volt cable to it. I did research this from youtube . Which it should work. But am stumped why the red does not show up.
