Numb: The Absence Of Feeling

Doom's Day

Jason's Pov Three hours before the rescue

"We found her! We found Molly and The Joker!" Dick exclaims with a grin on his face. "We found Molly. Where ever she is he is sure to be not far behind."

Moving past Dick Jason stood in front if the officers and his family with pride and determination. "Today is the big day everyone. For the ones that want to put their lives on the line right now to do what's right I commend you all but those that do not we will need you all to stay begging and look after the precinct."

The cops grew silent some sharing worries glances with one another. (Y/n) brother walked up to Jason and offered Jason his hand which he shock gratefully. Jason knew what he was doing was almost impossible, here he was asking the men and women who want to put to him in prison for breaking the laws to save his family. Would any of them even give him a chance.

Jason bite his inner check in anticipation and held his breath. Bruce put his hands on his shoulder as other officers stood up with Jason. It wasn't everyone but it was just enough to make a small group. "Thank you all for doing this....but in all seriousness....I can't guarantee that everyone will make it alive but your sacrifice right now will not be for nothing. You will be saving Gotham and the entire world for this toxin." Jason balls up his fists and sucks in a deep breath, "of given the chance to choose between (Y/n) or the children....chose the children." Bruce gripped his shoulder tighter.

"It won't come to that but let's get moving."

Today is the day, the day they rescue his family and kill the Joker for good. Jason sat quietly on his motorcycle loading and unloading his guns. Without a doubt in his mind he knew he would always be ready to kill the Joker any day but was I really prepared to see (Y/n) in person? Will she despise him after all the pain Jason bought her and the children?

"Ready." Damian says heavily swinging his leg over the seat over his bike. Jason put his helmet on.

"Put on your helmet."

"You have to be kidding me." Damian rolled his eyes.

"Not kidding, do it."

Damian mutters insults under his breath reluctantly putting on the helmet that practically swallowed his head. Tim, Dick and Bruce all drove in in separate cars all going to different places.

The ride to City Hall was silent while the rain came down softly under a grey sky. Silence washed over the city like a spell. Jason replayed his plan over and over in his head. Just two simple things, bring them back alive and kill The Joker; but yet it still worried him.

Over the horizon we spotted the white sleek stone ivory building with towering pillars as the building growing bigger as they approached it. His stomach began to feel ball up into knots as they stopped in front of the building. Guarding the tall wooden doors were the Joker henchmen men. They stood their smirking devilishly at the group. Jason recognized their faces as the ones that shoved (Y/n) in that cab on so long ago.

From above them hysterical laughter seemed to surround them. "JASON TODD!!!" The Joker shouted from a rooftop. Quickly they whipped around to the rooftop.

"Joker...." From above them the maniac stood over them Molly in his arms, with her arms behind her back and needle to her neck. She was bloodied and bruised, her deep navy clothes burned or torn. Her hair matted and balding in a few spots, she was completely unrecognizable from her former Secretary of Defense persona; but even through it all she still cried and shook. It was shocking.

"Good to see that death treated you right. When I  heard you were in town I couldn't believe it! Then I saw you with her, I knew it was fate!"

"Can't say I'd say the same about Harley."
