AN: Well, here is the fourth story in the Darkest of Knights story that I am doing. It takes place about a couple of years after Dark Tomorrow ended. If there are some inconsistencies in the coming story, I will do my best to explain them. With that being said, enjoy.

Chapter One: Her Secret Exposed

You know, whenever there is a big conflict, either coming or the time afterwards, there is that little lull of peace where nothing happens. That is either a good thing, or a bad thing. Let me explain. It can be good because the bad guys have been beaten, killed, or vanquished, and there is no one left to worry about that can do you, your family, or the ones that you love any harm. See, that is what Miley, her friends and family are thinking, or at least they are in that set of mind.

If you remember, or not, let me refresh your memory. Michael and Joker had a close relationship. When Michael was "killed", Joker went damn near mad, and was planning to kill her. Then everyone got the news that he was alive, but missing. Joker decided that she had to go anyway, and that lead to him making the ill fated attempt in the cafeteria that day. I say ill fated attempt because he failed in that attempt, leading to his death because his body couldn't handle the Titan injection. Right there, is going to lead to a whole bunch of problems in the future, for everyone.

Back to what I first said. I mentioned the good times of that lull of peace, now the bad things about that lull of peace. See, everyone seems to think that they are in the clear, but they are dead wrong. Harley Quinn was there, when Joker died. She didn't see him die, but she knew that he was gone when they rolled his covered body out of the cafeteria, and she knew it then. Anyways, what everyone is failing to remember is the unaccounted for that they need to be worried about.

One, Harley Quinn. No way is she going to let what happened to Joker go without a fight. No way on earth that is happening. Second, The Four Dragons are still out there, waiting, planning, and stewing. Most likely, they are waiting for an order from their leader, Michael that is, before they are able and commanded to do anything. They are in it, and whenever it is probably going down, they are going to be there, ready for a fight.

Finally, the man of the hour, Michael Harris. This entire episode is revolving around him. The specter of Michael Harris is out there, and he is the biggest wild card in this entire thing. No one has heard from him, and it is going to be very interesting when he shows his face. Not "if", WHEN. He is going to show, and the question is when. It might be at Miley's graduation, but who knows with a guy like that...

During the period after Joker's death, Melody went back home to the home that she shared with Charles, and Michael at one time. Melody felt weird sitting in the house, especially since Michael was no longer there. As for the relationship between Melody and Charles, it was there. In this situation, that means that meant that while she was there, she did not forgive Charles for flat out getting rid of Michael at a moment's notice. Charles himself thought that Melody and himself were getting along, but that was not the case at all. Melody let him think that, and while she was coming around, she looked at him out of the side of her eyes with a look of disgust and hatred.

Sometimes, when she was in the home alone, she would just go and sit in his room, Michael's room. Michael's room was the way that it was ever since he was dumped, and dumped was the right word to use, in Arkham. For what it was worth, the room was perfectly preserved. Nothing was out of place, and for what little remained in that room, that still meant something to her. She did not know why she went into his room, and just stared at the dust and empty shadows that were in that room. Maybe she held out some hope that Michael was going to come back home. Why and when were the main questions on her mind.

Nowadays, everyone was busy running around, trying to get their graduation plans in order. Melody did not worry about her plans, because she already knew that she was good enough to walk across the stage. As she thought about graduation, Melody felt her eyes get misty, because Michael's graduation was supposed to take place in a few weeks, but thanks to Travis, the guy Miley cheated on Michael with, he isn't going to be here.

There was going to be hell to pay.

It was the a week before she was supposed to go to St. Louis and do a concert, and Miley was sitting in her room, talking to Lilly. She was just trying to get her nerves straight before she left. Lilly was helping her pack, like she always did, but this was different for some reason, and she did not know why, exactly. She was just staring at the closet, trying to find a specific piece of clothing, but her mind was elsewhere.

"What's wrong?" Lilly asked her.

"I don't know." Miley said, taking a seat on the bed right next to Lilly.

"Let me guess, you are still thinking about Michael right?" Lilly asked her. Miley turned to look at her friend, and nodded yes.

"Why?" Lilly asked her.

"I felt bad about how I broke up with him." Miley said. "I saw the look in his eyes when I did it, and it looked as though his mind just shut down. I never saw him so hurt."

"How did his family take it? I mean, how is Melody after this time apart?" Lilly asked her.

"Melody moved back home, but she and Charles are still on the outs." Miley answered. "She did not say that, but the way she is looks at him out the side of her eyes means that she still blames him for what happens."

"Did you tell Travis any of this?" Lilly asked her.

"No." Miley said. "I feel bad for that, but I also know that Michael is out there somewhere, doing god knows what, and I am still worried about him."

"Michael will be fine." Lilly said. "I know he will."

Miley smiled at her friend. It was good to be told everything is going to be alright, even though she knew that it was a bold face lie.

The days at school were normal, you know? With teens and everyone getting ready for the end of the year and graduation right around the corner, everyone was making sure that they were ready for the final days coming up. No one could concentrate on their classes, and honestly, who could blame them? Almost everyone was coasting through school, as would anyone this time of the year.

Miley was sitting at the table with Oliver and Lilly, and when she looked at a close by table, she saw Melody sitting with Amber and Ashley, two girls that Miley hated, and they hated her in return. It was apparent to anyone that Amber, Ashley, and Melody were ripping on Miley, and they would do it to a point that they did not care if she heard them.

So, just as things were going on so well...

Attention students of Seaview High. Obviously by the sound of my voice, I am not your school principal. He was so gracious for me to use this speaker for my broadcast. Anyway, down to business. My name is Ambrose, and my friend, my brother in arms, is a former student by the name of Michael Harris. You might know him, and you might not know him, but you do know his former girlfriend, Miley Stewart. Let me let you in on some secrets about Miley Stewart.

See, she might have told you that she and Michael have broken up, and while that is true, I have heard that she wasn't so truthful in the way that it happened. So let me remedy that right now. See, she is a slut. She was just using Michael to get what she wanted, all the while sleeping with that piece of shit Travis Brody. So now that Michael is coming back in a little while, I feel that justice will be served in the way that those two deserve.

Oh, and one more thing. Miley Stewart is Hannah Montana. Thanks for your time, and have fun with your graduation.

The line clicked off, and every eye in the cafeteria was on her. Most were laughing, and most were staring at her in disgust. Miley stood up, and fast walked towards the exit of the cafeteria. As she walked, she heard the mutters of 'slut', 'tramp', and 'bitch' as she walked out.

She knew that where ever he was, Michael had a smile on his face after what just happened.

GOTHAM CITY

David opened his front door, and allowed his friend Bruce Wayne, A.K.A. Batman, to enter his home. Once pleasantries were exchanged, the two went to David's sitting room, to get to the bottom of things that were going on.

"So, what is going on?" Bruce asked him.

"Nothing much." David said. "No sight on Harley, Scarecrow, or Poison Ivy. Commissioner Gordon wanted me to go to Arkham City to get eyes there."

"Are you?" Bruce asked him.

"No way." David said. "I have a wife here, and I can't leave her alone with the risk of anything happening to her."

"What have you heard about Michael Harris?" Bruce asked him.

"Glad you brought that up." David said. He sat his laptop on the table, and opened it. It was on a news website, and Bruce read what Travis said when he was interviewed.

"'Michael Harris is a coward. He let's his friends do his dirty work, and now he is letting my girlfriend take heat for how he failed as a boyfriend. He should stay in whatever hole he is staying in, and leave me and my girlfriend alone."'

He stepped away from the laptop, and laughed in disbelief. He didn't believe it, but there it was, in black and white. Taking another look, and reading it to make sure that he read it all correctly, Bruce looked at David as if this was made up.

"He's serious? Does he know who he is messing with?" Bruce said.

"Those were the words that I said when I first read this." David said. "Word travels fast, and I bet that Michael's family has already read this, and they have the same reactions that you and I have when we first read this. Unbelievable.

"You have to do something." Bruce told David.

"I know. Alex and I are heading out to Malibu first thing." David said. "I know that Michael read this, and he is already planning something."

"I'll keep an eye and ear out here, in case something happens that you will need to know about." Bruce said.

"Good, and thanks." David said, with a smile. He knew that Michael was, as Bruce already said to him earlier, was already planning something, and he had to get a lid on it before something big and dangerous happens.

Like it already hasn't.

Too bad that David left the web page too early, because he did not see the message that was left soon after that on Travis' page. The message in question read:

U asked for it. See u soon.

AN: A message from an unknown source. Well, not really if you haven't already guessed who it was. Next chapter, Michael sends word about Travis' interview, and his reaction is a big one...
