"Where the hell could they be?" Nightwing said. The family was on the roof of Wayne Enterprises, which happened to be the tallest building in Gotham. When suddenly Batman dropped in on the roof.
"You've found nothing?" he asked.
"I'm sorry were not the World's Greatest Detective," Hood said while rolling his eyes.
"I thought I trained you all to be like me. To act like me. To think like me. But no. You still haven't even found one trace of evidence!"
"You haven't even helped us!" Nightwing shouted back.
"I shouldn't have to!" He looked at the team and continued, "I have trained you for all of your lives. Something like this should've been solved in an hour. What the hell is taking so long?!"
"Bruce we have searched every inch of Gotham and there is no trace of the Joker or the team or her," Nightwing said. He was looking off into the distance.
"Well if any of you paid attention to the news you would've seen that they found the crew and everyone aboard except my daughter and her wife."
"That's good they found the passengers-," Dick said but was immediately was cut off by Bruce.
"They're all dead. It was burned to crisp. You've all failed me." Everyone looks at Bruce and Damian was probably the most hurt. He was the first one who left. No one chased after him. They all stood their sulking in the shame that Batman had bestowed upon them. He then left them on the rooftop. Dick was fueled with anger and turned to face the family.
"We are finding her tonight." Everyone nodded their head in agreement.
"Wait," Todd said. Everyone turned to face him before they left. "The first place they met was at the carnival." Everyone had the realization and immediately went into action. It wasn't long before they arrive at the entrance to see the Batmobile at the entrance. They all groaned in unison. They walked into the park and slowly looked around. Then the electricity went on.
"Fuck," Black Bat said. "He knows." They walked in and looked around and saw nothing. Until Hood saw a trail of blood.
"I found something," he said on comms.
"What is it?" Nightwing asked.
"Trail. Don't know if it's a trap. But well see." He continued down and saw that it lead to a broken down ride. "Fucking hate carnivals." He continues in and of course its pitch black. He turns on the flashlight and searches. After awhile the blood added up to Taylor. Hood ran over to her and held her. She freaked out and started thrashing in his arms.
"Taylor its fine. Its me." He took the mask off to reveal his face. "Look see. Its Todd." She stopped and looked at him. She had tears in her eyes and had a black eye. All she had on was a tank top and underwear. God he's a sick fuck.
"Todd? What are you doing here?"
"Were here to rescue you and Cam. Do you know where she is?" She shook her head no.
"After we started going down someone came in and chloroformed the both of us. I haven't seen her since. Although someone occasionally comes in to check on me. They're about to come-,"then the door unlocked. Todd looked then at Taylor.
"I have a plan," Jason said getting into the shadows.
Before he knew it Todd had the guy in a headlock and he was spilling every detail of the Joker's plan.
"Please don't kill me," the guy begged. Todd looked up at Taylor and said,
"Look away."
"Todd-," she said crying.
"Look away!" he yelled. She turned her head and heard the fatal snap and the body drop. Taylor was about to look but Jason rushed over and held her. He whispered in her ear, "Don't look."
"Hood, come in," Nightwing said on the intercom in their ear.
"Found Taylor. And I know what the final plan is."
-
"That is so fucked up," Cass said in the batcave.
"That's what he said."
"How's Taylor, Alfred?"
"She's calmed down. She's in her bed sleeping."
"So what's our plan?"
"Prevent it before it happens," Dick said. "We need to get moving now," he said putting his mask on. Everyone followed him out the cave and rushed to Gotham Harbor.
-
Battered. Bruised. Beaten.
Camilla looked at him, spitting out blood. The smile remained on her face.
"You really know what turns a girl on, huh?" she said in a taunting tone. He slaps her again, causing her to cough out some more blood.
"The stream will be ready in a few minutes. It'll be too late for your little bat family. Everyone will witness my greatest creation."
"They're coming for me. You won't win-" another harsh slap. She looks into his eyes.
"Save your voice." She couldn't help but grow worried. As the lights turned on and his camera went live, that's when she knew it was going to happen.
"By now you all must know me... And here I have with me..." he looked to her and nodded.
"C-Camilla Wayne..."
"Yes! The infamous Wayne daughter!" he cheers. "Look at the trust fund baby... Covered in tattoos with that BIG engagement ring..." he says in a low, menacing voice. "You thought you could be with me. Marry someone else and FORGET me! Look at you now..."
He moves over to her and grabs her neck. He rips off the rest of her clothes, protests coming from the young Wayne's mouth. She was pleading for him to stop, but of course he didn't.
"Let's show the world who you really are." He says as he steps back.
There she was: undressed and out in the open. Broadcasted for all of Gotham to see. Every screen was tuned into this. All eyes were on them. Mainly on her. Even at home, her wife and Alfred watched with pained eyes.
The kids even saw it.
Everyone saw it.
