I regret nothing.
---
The GCPD police officers told Marinette that Jason Todd was dead. Beaten to death in a fake Robin suit.
By the Joker.
Marinette couldn't breathe when they told her.
Beaten to death.
It hadn't even been painless.
Her heart had been beating far too fast.
Her head was pounding like a line of a thousand drummers.
Her breathing kept coming out in short bursts. Like something was blocking her air.
The world was tilting.
Marinette was panicking.
The voices of the police officers talking to her turned to distant murmuring.
The sharp scent of blood filled her nose, making her gag and choke.
The cold metal chair that she sat on seemed to disappear.
And suddenly she was falling.
Falling.
Falling.
Falling.
And Marinette was screaming.
Screaming for her brother. Her twin. Her best friend. Her partner in crime.
But the screams seemed too real to be a memory.
And it wasn't her screaming.
And then Marinette remembered.
Gardens. Friends. Explosion. Scarecrow.
Fear toxin.
And screaming, but it wasn't Jason's name she was screaming. She wasn't even the one yelling out.
It was Chloé.
Chloé was screaming her name.
But why?
Gardens. Friends. Explosions. Scarecrow. Fear toxin.
Oh.
Marinette wouldn't open her eyes.
Because she knew exactly what she would see.
Jason.
Lying still, covered in blood.
Dead.
It was a nightmare she used to have for the months following her brother's death.
Marinette began to tremble, she fisted her hands and took a deep breath. It didn't work. Her breathing became erratic. She could feel her heart racing.
The second he injected her with fear toxin, Scarecrow dropped her so he could take a step back and watch.
"Open your eyes, little hero. The real Red Hood would have opened his eyes."
His voice was enticing, she wanted to comply, to open her eyes.
"Don't, Marinette!" She heard Adrien scream before a sharp thud sounded and he went quiet.
Someone hit Adrien.
Fury boiled Marinette's blood. No one hurt her partner. No one.
Marinette's eyes snapped open.
And she saw Jason lying in front of her.
But it wasn't just him. Adrien, Kim, Chloé, Nino, Tom and Sabine.
