Thank you so much guys! I mean, this is getting ridiculous. 106 follows, 89 favorites, and 22 reviews for 3 chapters? From a minor league writer like me, that means a lot. Thank you for your support and here's the next chapter. Just so you know, Bella is like Heller, not Mercer. She's a hybrid of human and the virus. Look it up, it actually says that Heller was a hybrid.

By the way, I don't know much of the background except for what was in the movies. Did you see the part where Croc threw up!? LOL.

Disclaimer: Some scenes in this and following chapters will be practically the same from "Escape from Arkham", mostly because it will help me put this story together.

I don't any of these franchises or characters.

Bella's POV:

They had moved Bella into her new room a few days after she had agreed. She now had a better bed and food whenever she needed it. As she swung back and forth on the swing she had made with her Tendrils, she thought about Diablo. He seemed like someone she'd like to know, but she'd have to be careful. She would probably apologize to that snake or alligator guy. Tired of swinging, she leapt down from her perch and decided to plan where to look for the Cullens first. She quickly drew a map of leads. She remembered them saying something about cousins in Denali. If that was true, that could be where she would start. Then there was the fact that the Volturi lived in Italy. They seemed more reliable. Unfortunately, they both had some sort of loyalty to the Cullens. The ones in Denali probably had some sort of family loyalty, which she could respect, but in this case, she wouldn't. The Volturi probably wouldn't like her wanting to kill one of the vampires they want for the Guard, if what Edward said was true about the Volturi wanting him and Alice.

Looking around her makeshift map, she felt something ache along her eyes across South America. She then remembered Carlisle talking about relatives in the Amazon. Smiling as she realized she had another lead, she went over the entire map, searching for memories she'd had pushed aside.

Going over Africa, around Egypt, she heard "Amun."

Going over America again, she heard a voice like Jasper's say "Charlotte."

Smiling with triumph, she marked Denali first for information. If that didn't work out, she'd go to the Volturi. Morphing her arms into her Whipfist, she pulled herself back into her swing. As she dreamed of her revenge, she felt her eyes drift and close.

Gordon's POV:(Gary Oldman)

It was a regular winter night in Gotham for Gordon, except for the fact that the Dark Knight hadn't visited him yet. As he stood on the cold roof, Gordon thought about his daughter. Barbara had been taking more classes and activities at her school. While he missed her from time to time, Gordon was proud that his daughter was doing something useful with her life. Going back into the warmth of the building, Gordon looked over the files again. When he got to the last page, he saw the Joker's picture and the words under it.

"Captured in Midway City during (blacked out) incident. Returned to Arkham under Maximum Security Wing."

Joker's POV:

Joker sat in his cell, thinking of what to do that day. Hang out with Pengie, no. Sit in his cell and read, he wasn't that crazy. Escape, sure, he could do that any day of the week. As long as he got to shoot something. Getting off the floor, he walked to the door and yelled "Guard!"

One of the stupid ones actually came close to the door as Joker asked "Can you open the door? I think I'm sane."

The guard rolled his eyes and asked sarcastically "Really?"

Nodding his head, Joker answered "Oh yes, quite so. In fact,- oh look, here comes Bane. You let him out too?"

The guard spun around and looked for the fake Bane, only to have Joker reach to him, grab the collar of his shirt, and pull him fast towards the bars. The impact knocked the guard out and Joker put the guard's hand against the scanner. As the door slid open, he looked down at the guard with disgust and asked "Really? That wasn't even my moderate, much less my best stuff. You're pathetic."

As he pulled the guard inside the cell, Joker asked "Are you one of those people who got the cap labeled "Dunce" all the time? It'd explain a lot."

A few minutes later, the guard stepped back out again, turned back to the cell, and whispered "Thanks for the clothes sucker."

Closing the cell door, he peeked inside to see the corpse of the guard that had a broken neck and a Dunce cap on his head. The Joker pulled down the face mask and said "See, I knew you would fit in."

Walking away with a skip in his step, Joker made his way to the command center of Arkham Asylum.

Time Skip:

Gordon's POV:

Gordon was finishing up a report when suddenly, the door on the other side of the room exploded open! Grabbing their pistols, the detectives and patrolmen aimed at the door. Suddenly, a sharp noise went throughout the station, causing them to drop the guns as the firearms exploded! He heard that one voice laugh and shout "I love this thing!"

Looking up, he saw the Joker step through the smoke, followed by each of the most dangerous criminals of Gotham. The emerald-haired villain stepped up onto a desk and bowed to the officers. Pulling himself up, Joker announced "You're all relieved of duty as of immediately. Now since that's settled, we need a new boss of Gotham. I nominate Mr. Joker!"

Pulling out his gun, he waved it around and asked "Any other nominations?"

When no one spoke, his grin widened and he said "Then, if that's settled, lock them all up!"

Flag's POV:

Flag walked into Waller's office and demanded "Why'd you call me here, Waller? You got your Teen Monster less than 3 weeks ago!"

Waller simply replied "There's a situation in Gotham that I was just informed of. Apparently, the Joker escaped again after he was captured in Midway City. As of 8 hours ago, he took control of Gotham by taking out the bridges and imprisoning or killing the police presence in the city. As of 5 hours ago, he released a video throughout the internet. The Batman has not been spotted in the area yet. Here''s the video."

She turned the computer around and Flag watched.

The Joker stood in front of the background of Gotham City... except he was upside down. He angrily advanced to the screen and said "Clay, you're holding it wrong. Give me that!"

He grabbed the camera and turned it and pointed it at a confused- looking clay monster and Joker said "This is how you hold it!"

It was shoved against the creature and as Joker walked away, the creature turned it towards himself and suddenly licked the lens! Joker shouted "Why are you licking it, you half-wit piece of gum! I swear, ever since Bats zapped you in the head, you've been more of an idiot than Superman with his spandex! Who wears spandex?! You know what? I've had enough. Firefly, you hold it and don't fly. It makes the camera shaky."

The camera finally righted itself and focused on the Joker. The clown put his trademark smile on and said "Hello world! It's me, the Clown Prince of Crime, the Joker! If you don't know me, don't worry, you soon will. Now, let me show you something."

The camera followed him and he had at least twenty boxes behind him. "Before you, there is a pile of gifts to my fine city. Each of them are wired to a building and when I push them, BOOM! A fireworks show that you'll never beat! The only way to stop them is to bring back my Harley to me and to deliver 1 billion dollars to me . That's not from all of you together. I meant, with each country watching me, each of you has to bring the described amount to this city under a neutral flag, delivered by the leaders of said countries. Just so you don't get cold feet though."

Walking over to the boxes, he sang "Eenie, meenie, minie, moe. Catch the tiger by his toe. If he hollers, shoot him in the mouth. My mommy says to pick the very best one, and you are it!"

Grabbing a red box, he pushed the button and cheered as the building erupted into fire and ash!

Turning back to the camera, the Joker said "You see, this city thought they were impenetrable. This is how crazy the Batman has made Gotham! By the end of the week, all of Gotham will enjoy my party favors. I will show them my reality."

The video fuzzed out, leaving Flag stunned and when he looked up to Waller, she said "We sent a Predator just over an hour ago. Before it was shot down by something, We got images that confirm what he's saying. Britain, India, and Mexico are already sending the money. They aren't seeing his plan for what it is. If all of that money is taken, the entire world will go into decline. Anarchy and chaos. That money could also get him anything he wants, should he choose. By delivering that money, the world is being handed to him. 7 billion lives for 10 million. He's insane, but he plays his cards well."

Flag asked "Surely not all of the leaders are agreeing to this?"

Amanda replied "China and Russia have already stepped out, with many others bound to follow. The president has already said the famous "We do not negotiate with terrorists" line."

Flag asked "How'd it get around so fast? You said it only happened 5 hours ago."

Amanda answered "Someone hacked into the satellites. Broke into one and used it to communicate and transmit a virus into the rest which spread to the world. He took a battering ram and took over communications for a few minutes and he may still be in there."

Flag inquired "How do you want to handle this? The Batman is out of the picture and the army can't get in. Unless you want to bomb the city, you're going to have to send us in."

Amanda smiled and said "I know and I know just how to do it."

Bella's POV:

Bella woke up steadily and tried to get the blurry out of her eyes. She heard a woman's voice whine "Aw, not again."

She heard and Australian or something like that say beside her "Well, look at you. Not so dangerous now, are you? Now that you're in same boat as us."

She felt a rough hand touch her harm and said "If you don't want the last thing you see to be a fucking bloody stump before I eat you, I would keep ALL body parts away from me."

She heard a rough voice, possibly the one who injured her Goliath in the water tower, say "I'd listen to her, Boomerang. You remember how she almost backhanded you into outer space if it wasn't for Diablo."

She heard the pervert's voice say "Okay, okay. Sheesh."

Bella groaned and thought "How old is this guy? Is he a hormonal 14 year-old in a 30 year-old's body?"

Suddenly, metal cases enclosed around them and the mean lady's voice came in "Listen, convicts. The Joker escaped again and the Batman hasn't been spotted yet. The Joker has demanded Harley back and 1 billion dollars from every country. We want you to find him and take him down. Whatever the cost and no running, Miss Quinn. We have a solitary nanite in your head that your boyfriend won't be able to hack. Miss Swan, I don't care what you do to the minor escapees like thieves and rapists, but if we lose any essential convicts, including ones from your own team, you will be sorry your grandparents even met. I will burn you and let all you care about be wiped from existence, including Ms. Clearwater and Mr. Black. Do you understand?"

Bella, fuming with eyes crimson, replied "Crystal."

Suddenly, the crocodile man asked "Wait, one question. Who put our clothes on us if we were unconscious?"

Instead of answering, the floor dropped out from beneath them!

As she watched the ground zoom closer, she heard Croc scream "I hate heights!"

The metal carrier suddenly stopped as the parachute slowed the landing. 10 seconds later, Bella's carrier went into a roll. When it stopped, she shifted her hands into the Hammerfists and punched the door off. Climbing out, she looked over herself. Shaking her head at the plain cotton jacket and pants, she shifted them off and replaced them. She now wore a leather jacket with a few metal pieces here and there, jeans, and spiked combat boots. Nodding at her new clothes, she looked around to see one of the other capsules. Walking over, she shifted to Claws and ripped the door off. Inside was an upside down and passed out Captain Boomerang.

Smiling at the opportunity, she turned back to normal fists and punched him in the balls. As she covered his mouth, he let out a scream that would've woken up half of Gotham. When he recovered from most of the pain, he looked at her and whimpered underneath her hand. Pulling away, Bella said in a dark tone "Consider that a warning. Asshole."

Then she pulled him out of the seat and Bella started looking around for the other pods, with Boomerang limping and cursing behind her. Soldier Boy, as Bella called him, got on her radio and gave her the others location.

They found the others with Flag in an alley, trying to figure out how to get Killer Croc out of telephone pole wires. Bella heard Harley yell "Don't worry K.C, we'll get you out in no time!"

Annoyed, Bella shifted into her Whipfist and hit it out of the wires. Harley continued "Sooner than you think!"

Bella strutted over and pulled the door off. What she smelled and saw in the next 3 seconds made her want to put it back on. Croc really wasn't good with heights. He redecorated the interior of the pod green.

Time Skip:

After Croc had cleaned himself with a nearby fire hydrant, they went to a nearby warehouse that Flag had designated to stock up on inventory. Before they could leave, the warehouses doors opened. As the squad went behind boxes to hide, Bella heard a British voice say "I want my inventory streaming through Gotham by morning. That clown is not going to get that money if I have anything to say about it."

Looking over the box she was hiding behind, she saw a bunch of men putting the containers into trucks. As she looked on, she saw a small, but fat man waddling around, shouting orders. Suddenly, a small box fell to the floor and let out a CRASH!

The fat man spun around and said "I know you're here, now come out or I'll throw a grenade at ya!"

Slowly, the rest of the squad came out with at least one gun raised and when the fat man saw Deadshot, he laughed and said "It's just you, Lawton."

Deadshot replied "Yeah. Cobblepot, it's somewhat nice to see you."

Cobblepot asked "How's life treating you?"

Lawton replied "Not bad, but I'm afraid this isn't a social visit."

Cobblepot looked confused before asking "Then what kind of visit is-" he stopped when he spotted Harley trying to hide behind Croc.

He said angrily "You! Clown!"

Around them, Cobblepot's goons raised their guns and pointed them all at Harley

Harley stepped out and asked "You're not still mad about those trucks, are you? To me, it feels like you are."

Bella asked "What are you mad at her for?"

Cobblepot replied "She and her looney boyfriend blew up all of the trucks that were delivering my paid essentials! They even drove one of them into the river! Just for a laugh! I didn't even get a refund!"

Before he could shoot Harley, Bella stepped in front of her. Enraged at the interruption, Cobblepot shouted "Get out of the way, biker girl!"

Bella replied "Think about this, Mr. Cobblepot. A government woman named Waller sent us here. If you shoot Harley, Waller will have lost one member from one of her biggest assets. Who do you think she'd come after? You, but if you let Harley go, I can promise you something. If you let us leave with Harley, we'll take Joker down and as a bonus, we won't even remotely mention you to Waller and you don't go to prison for a long while. Pretty good deal, huh?"

Cobblepot looked distant for a second, as if thinking of his options, before smiling and saying "I like how you do business girl. Fine, Clown Girl and the rest of you can go, but if I catch any of you on my turf again, I'll skin you and hang you by your toes. Now, get out!"

Walking past the fuming fat man, the Squad left the warehouse. Deadshot came up to Bella and asked "How'd you know that'd work?"

Bella replied "He's a crook. Give a crook what he wants, hopefully he'll at least give you room to breathe. If he doesn't, make him stop breathing."

Eventually, Flag found a place to lay low until morning. Bella sat up in her makeshift hammock and watched the others go off to their corners. Diablo made a small fire as Flag polished his pistol and Harley put curlers in her hair. Lying back, Bella looked through the smog and clouds in Gotham's sky and did her best to fall to sleep.

Okay, this a another setting-up chapter. I kept running this through my head. I don't want Bella to find the cullens too quickly and I want to build up the action. I hope you liked this chapter and I defiantly plan on seeing you guys soon.
