That's super cool!

But anyway hope you like this chapter think this one is my favorite thus far :D

Enjoy!

This was madness. In the game the TITAN creature's showed no personality, they were nothing but angry monsters with an appetite for destruction. But with Freddie, Filly swore that she heard him manically laughing at her, even the animalistic roars and screeches were filled with blood thirsty intent. Like a bull in a cartoon show it ran its right foot along the worn rocks and dust and charged.

She'd give anything to have a few more batarangs in her pocket but she was going to have to come up with her own way to take down her TITAN. Mindless monsters were easy to trick into cages and traps but one swipe of its hand could be game over for Filly. TITAN Freddie came at her again but she easily dodged him but his focus wasn't lost for long, he got ready to take another run.

Looking frantically around her she hunted for something to throw at him but he was wasting no time and rushed towards her. In a panic she huddled herself into a ball and waited for the impact. The monster got easily confused and tripped over Filly and fell with an almighty thud on the ground. She silently screamed in triumph but she knew that he wouldn't be down for long; from the statue she managed to pull out a brick just as it was getting back to its feet.

Shaking its head in a rage of annonyance Filly squinted her eyes together and tried to get some sort of a aim and threw the brick, it hit the side of the monsters head and oh it didn't like that. TITAN Freddie stopped it's grunting fury and stared straight at her confused, the little creature had attacked him and it hurt his hurricane mad mind as he tried to figure out why she wasn't submitting to her pending doom.

"Bring it on you ugly fuck."

Throwing another brick at the monster, the time around her slowed down the TITAN did what it usually did in the game, it roared and clutched his face, it banged into the statute and she took her moment to strike him. Punch after punch she put all her strength into wounding her opponent but her power soon cracked under the TITAN monster's strong attack. Jumping out of the way at every moment she tried the same technique three more times but Freddie showed no sign of weakness.

It was clear that no matter what she did to the creature he wasn't going to be defeated any time soon. She dashed towards the edge of the cliff and quickly spun round to see what the monster was doing; it was running towards her fully determined to devour her. Filly bent down slightly preparing herself to jump over the TITAN, when he was close enough she scattered dust into the air to blind him, she jumped at the last second and landed back onto the ground safety. In the small dust storm she peered into it and saw TITAN Freddie twisting and turning, he was so close to the edge one wrong step and he'd fall into the sea. The fight had to end, Filly took her turn to charge, no punch would knock him over, she collided with the monster and he toppled over the side, her feet remained on the edge and she couldn't help but cry out in success but it was short lived.

The TITAN monster managed to reach out and grab hold of her arm, he smashed his hand down on to the ground bringing Filly down and dragging her half off the cliff edge. Trapped in the painful grip she had no choice but to fall into the crashing waters below.

Her arms thrashed about willing her power to make the experience somehow better, she managed to see Batman who was in the distance running towards her, but the colossal monster's weight was just too much. Her fingertips slid off the edge just as Batman's black gloved hand reached out but the fall was fast, though her vision was failing she noticed that the Dark Knight had tried grabbing her with his batclaw but before it could get close she began drowning.

The Arkham sea was a lot kinder to her as the waves carried her to the surface but for TITAN Freddie the waters thrashed and pulled him down. Once able to take a breath of the cold ocean air Filly began to swim around the island hoping that there would be a cave or something to pull herself up on to a ledge. Swimming around to the other side of Arkham East there was a small stony shore that she swam over to and rested on. The sharp rock edges pierced into her clothing and ripped some of the material getting through to her flesh and slitting her skin. The pain was the last thing on her mind though, although TITAN Freddie might have fallen further into the water she wasn't waiting around to see if he swam up to the surface.

Painfully crawling further up she placed her back against the jagged cliff, she spat a couple of times hoping to get most of the sea water taste out her mouth. Her eyes shut for a few moments and found peace as a light spray of water landed on her face. But the peace was short lived.

Do TITAN's ever give the fuck up?!

Freddie had made it, he looked worn out and it seemed the rocks had done worse to him. Filly didn't know how good his eyesight was but she wasn't too far away from him. Her plan was to keep quiet and stay still even if she wanted to move her legs were numb from the countless scars she got from the rocks, she prayed that her healing power would kick in.

Her plan seemed to be going well but luck in Arkham never lasted. The TITAN sniffed the air like a hungry wolf, it caught the scent of her blood and it's head snapped in her direction. Busted. It suddenly got back all its energy and approached her slowly knowing that Filly couldn't move it decided that it was going to take it's time and savour the moment.

Releasing a fearful sigh, she shut her eyes as tightly as she could waiting for the monsters jaws to wrap around her leg but there was no impact of jagged shark like teeth. Cautiously Filly opened one eye to see what was going on; her mouth widened in shock at the sight before her. TITAN Freddie and Bane were battling in all their venom glory.

In and out of the waves they fought, it was hard to tell who was winning the battle and who was bigger. She saw Freddie give Bane a hard punch to the side of the face which momentarily made Bane stumble but it gave Freddie time to stalk Filly. The strength had returned to her legs so she scuttled back quickly and kicked out her legs when Freddie got close enough. The sole of her shoes bashed his head a couple of times before he was dragged back to the dark Arkham sea.

The scene before her reminded her of a TV show she had watched long ago called "Prehistoric Park"; in the first episode two T-Rex dinosaurs were having a battle over food and the way Freddie and Bane were fighting made her think of it, two God-like people wrestling to the death and she knew that Freddie didn't have a chance in Hell but he'd leave some horrible marks.

And then there was silence. The fight was over before it had even properly begun. Bane lay on the smooth rocks with his arms stretched out and took huge gasps of breath, it was strange to see this God like man like this he always seemed unstoppable never one for having to rest. Climbing over the large stones she reached his side and placed her hand on the side of his face and stroked his cheek gently as she did before in the chamber. Bane's eyes wandered over to her concerned face, he managed to bring up his large hand and place it behind her head then he started to carefully stroke her hair.

"I remember you."

Those three little words sounded so meaningful when spoken by Bane. In Filly's mind she thought he meant from before in the experimental chamber but deep down in her heart Banes words tugged a chord and it set her blood on fire.

"Are you alright mi querido?"

She nodded and glanced at the beaten body of TITAN Freddie, "Is he...dead?"

Bane whispered out a 'yes' then pulled himself onto his knees. Filly stood and didn't utter a word which just made the ordeal awkward. Being one of Batman's rouges she never expected that one of them would ever save her, she had a feeling that he'd ask her to keep this event silent which she could understand. Saving someone's life wouldn't exactly look great on a criminals résumé. Then without warning the venom intoxicated man flashes up with ferocious energy and went towards to the side of the cliff and got ready to climb up.

"I must kill the Doctor!"

Oh crap!

"Bane wait!" she cried after him. Bane stopped and looked at her, there was evil intent building in his eyes and it gave her a chill, though it might of just been the fact that she was soaking wet. Filly calmed down her fears as best as she could, "Please, wait", muttering under his breath he stood in front of her and crossed his huge arms, "Doctor Young is dead Bane. The Joker killed her."

For a moment it looked like he was about to accuse her lying and she had no idea what she'd have to say or do to make him believe the lie. Fortunately the huge man gave a sigh and put his arms to the side, "I'm sorry I scared you" he spoke quietly, his accent was gentle and soothing showing that he meant what he said.

"It's alright Bane, I'm getting use to the feeling. The Batmobile didn't hurt you too much did it?" Filly asked as she examined his torn outfit.

He gave a low chuckle, "I was hit by a car pequeño. Yes it hurt."

You're an idiot Filly...oh call me something else in Spanish Bane! Growing red she turned towards the dead TITAN; being reminded of Doctor Young worried her and if Bane decided to return to the asylum to find her body only to discover she wasn't there Filly would need to make sure she had safety reached Gotham.

Approaching the dead TITAN she made it look as if she was studying Freddie (though she did notice the bones in his neck sticking out) but there were little waves crashing into him so she reached out and brushed the water with her fingertips and hunted through its memories of tonight.

Images of Bane and the Batmobile sinking flashed first in her mind, then quick pictures of Freddie and herself and then she saw a boat. Holding on to this particular memory she looked closer; the boat was small and wooden, it was in good condition and could hold at least five people but there was only one person inside it who was rowing for their life. They wore dark clothes to hide their face and figure but Filly knew instantly that it was Doctor Young. The Doctor got to the shore a lot of quicker than she expected, the boat bobbed happily on the waves as she got on the sands on Gotham. Filly pushed her eyes further and gave a small sorry smile as Young dropped on to the wet sand and began crying. Soon she got to her feet and ran off into the city; Filly's eyes could no longer follow the doctor so she closed off the connection to the memory and turned her attention back to her saviour.

"Thank you Bane, for saving me," He didn't say a word but he gave her a look which she took as his way of saying 'you're welcome', "Why did you save me?" Her curiosity couldn't help itself.

There was a short pause before he answered, "You remind me of someone I used to know. Her name was Pix."

Filly had come across that name before when she was reading through 'Batman: Gotham Knights. Pix's full name was Ariadne Pixnit, she was an incredible tattoo artist who had a special kind of ink that she could program to create different designs. But Gotham is a dangerous place, she was attacked and raped by a gang of thugs and they left her for dead on the street. Pix was determined to get her revenge on the gang so she began designing lethal tattoos on herself and using some sort of remote-computer-control she could bring them to life in order to dispatch the gang members one by one. Later on she injected a large amount of the ink into her skull giving her the power to create creatures and weapons on her skin.

Bane catches up with Pix just as she is hunting down the last of her attackers, they share a bond together in lost innocence and through the darkest part of their lives they find friendship.

Filly wasn't sure how she should feel at what Bane said but it seemed that there relationship was going to along similar lines. There was no way she ever wanted to be one of his enemies.

"I see."

"And thank you."

She gave him a questioning look."Thank you? For what?" she asked.

He gave a small smile and leaned closer in to her,"For not being afraid to touch me."

Ooohhh you asdfghjkl.

A hot embarrassed rush went through Filly's entire body, the fangirl within her was doing about fifty seven somersaults. Wanting to avoid eye contact she stared up the side of the cliff, the distance wasn't too far but she wasn't going to chance jumping it herself, "Think you could give me a boost?" she asked unsure.

Bane gave a somewhat cheeky grin, he placed the back of his hands flat on the ground and motioned her to step on them. Nervous she stepped onto his large hands carefully and breathed deeply while counting to ten in her head. Pushing the dread into the pit of her stomach she gave Bane a nod and looked towards the sky. Bane counted out loud and after 'three' she was thrown. Filly held in a scream as she flew through the air, she tried not to close her eyes as if she banged into the side of the cliff it was going to be painful.

Fortunately she passed the edge of the cliff side but her landing was less than ladylike. She prayed that no one had seen her but knowing that there were hidden camera's everywhere she wouldn't be surprised if the Joker saw what happened. How long was it going to be before she fully had good control over her power. It had helped her out on a couple of occasions during the night but when it came to something simple like landing gracefully her power suddenly failed in that department. She lay flat on the grassy ground for a few minutes for her heart to return to it's normal beat. Feeling better she peered over the edge and looked down to see Bane but he was gone.

I better go and find Batman. Let him know I'm alright. She had an idea of where he might be and went in the direction of the Penitentiary but then something caught her eye. A faint green light was casting a large shadow, it's form was in a shape of a question mark. Her eyes widened in excitement as she approached the Riddler trophy, picking it up carefully though her hands were shaking she undone her belt, slotted in through the buckle and did herself up again, it wasn't too heavy but she didn't want it hanging on her for too long. While she was here she felt that she had to visit Amadeus Arkham's grave and pay her respects.

Whenever Filly had played Arkham Asylum and read comics on Amadeus's his story always tugged at her heartstrings. Before setting foot into the game she described Arkham to her friends by using the saying 'misery loves company', she couldn't help but be proud of herself for her short description. However one of her friends made a point that if everyone attention asylum was miserable then why was the Joker always happy? They had a big debate over it for a while.

What got to her the most about Amadeus's history was a riddle, not exactly about him but about his families killer Mad Dog. Inside the botanical gardens was a statue of Lady Arkham, her head had sadly came off and sat at the stone feet but the part that struck out the most was the place, it used to clearly say, 'CONSTANCE ARKHAM...My Dear Wife...The First Lady Of Arkham a fitting tribute to the beautiful woman. However across the plack 'Mad Dog' was scratched in, a dark but yet another fitting tribute.

While in her daydream world she forgotten just how freezing cold her body was; stepping out of dream land she looked down at her soaked clothes and thanked God that the top she wore wasn't see through. The sooner she got herself dried and into different clothing the better. The only place she knew where extra clothes were available was in the Penitentiary. Filly arrived in Arkham West in no time but Batman wasn't outside, she decided to go straight into the Penitentiary but halted outside the visitor center.

Filly then realized just how angry she was at the Joker for sending TITAN Freddie to her; rushing towards the entrance she felt like punching down the doors in rage, even the goons who were working on the designing the doorway backed away from her as she stormed through. Inside the visitors center the Joker was still begin the glass, he sat with one leg over the other with his head in his hands as if he had been waiting hours for her.

He noticed her and a unsettling smile grew on his face when he saw the state she was in, "Did you have fun with the fishes?" he giggled.

"Sometimes your jokes aren't very funny." She replied grabbing her hair tightly and rinsed out as much water as she could,"How did you get Freddie to become a TITAN? You couldn't of perfected the formula by then."

The Joker raised an eyebrow, "Just how much do you know missy hmm? You know a lot more than you should" he got right up to the glass and gave her a questioning look with a hint of a threat attached to it, "Spill the beans."

Unsure of what to say she decided not to give anything away and put on her bratty teenager act, "I just know things Mr Joker. I have no bullshit visions of the future. The only things I can do is slow time and see memories."

"Little girls shouldn't say nasty words." he sneered.

She should of figured that Joker wasn't the swearing type. It felt strange giving him an apologetic look. The clown gave a small laugh which she took as his way of accepting her apology.

"Memories you say? Anything worth gossiping about my dear?" he asked all cheery.

"Not really...I saw Croc Boy devour a couple of guys in the medical building but that's pretty much it, will let you know if I pick up on anything else gruesome." Filly was so surprised that she could easily talk like this to the killer clown.

He gave a satanic chuckle, "That's what I like to hear from my arkham gal."

Arkham gal eh? Filly giggled and Joker gave her a wink. The agent of chaos gave another giggle, picked up a TV and placed it on his head. Figuring that it was her time to leave she waved and left the center, once outside she took a minute to admire the work the Jokers goons had done on the doors and it was coming together rather nicely.

From the corner of her eye she spotted movement, the Dark Knight had finally arrived outside the Penitentiary, he was typing into his cowl and didn't notice her until she called out.

"Batman!" She shouted running towards him. Relief washed through the Dark Knight when he saw Filly running to him but his expression changed and showed no concern when she got closer.

"Are you alright?" he asked simply.

Filly nodded feeling a bit disappointed that he didn't seem to care, "Um here, I think you'll need this" she threw over the Riddler trophy to him, "Since you've got your hands full at the moment if I notice any more I'll collect them for you."

"He won't like this, he'll say it's cheating" Batman says while pressing a hidden button underneath the trophy, he then quickly examines his cowl, pushes a few controls so that Filly could hear the Riddler having a fit!

"Wait that's trophy number 24, that was in Arkham East and you're in the Penitentiary?! But you wouldn't have carried it all the way there…wait a minute…CHEAT! Who did you get to fetch it for you hmm?" the Riddler cried in a childlike anger which made Filly smile, hearing him react like this almost made her forget just how dangerous this villain was, "That's ONE STRIKE Batman! If you get two more then Gotham will get its treat earlier than expected!"

Once he had finished his outburst Filly let out a laugh she had been holding back, she swore that Batman even grinned but he controlled his emotions so well that it was gone in a flash.

A sudden question popped into her head and she decided to ask him now because there was a high chance she wouldn't be able to ask him later,"Batman, did you know someone called Glitch?"

The Dark Knight was slightly taken aback by her question, he decided to keep his answers short. "I did. She was a friend."

Filly didn't like the word 'was' it only meant one of two things; Glitch had broken all contact with Batman or she was dead.

"What happened to her?" she knew she was treading on thin ice but the questions refused to stop.

"She died."

"She's missing."

"For how long?"

She could clearly see that he didn't want to talk about it but Filly couldn't help herself, she was desperate to know about this character. His pace slowed for a moment and he opened his mouth to reply but closed it again and continued walking.

Had so much fun typing this on my playbook! Well I did do a tiny bit on the word processor at the library but I still don't have my own laptop, grrrr. Whiling typing this up last night I began thinking how long this story is going to be but I'm not too sure but hopefully I'll get it finished before Arkham Origins.

Oh and again I think I repeat the same words too often, I'll try and work on that!

So don't forget to give me a wee review, hope you're all still enjoying it and until next time!
