Chapter Two: Knight meeting

Houston, Texas, The Terran Empire, the old Macy's garage, downtown: Michael turned the Mustang toward the gated garage. He remembered hiding here once. Michael Long was once a homeless man who had been driven out of his home by a woman named Stevie Mason. He had traveled all over the UEA and had ended up in Houston working for a small company not covered under the Knight Industries umbrella of companies that ruled the Texas-Oklahoma-Kansas tri-State area. He had been lured to an SP+\Knight Industries parking garage by a woman named Alicia Baker for a night of sex and partying but had been betrayed by Alicia where she discovered he was a slave and sexual relations between slaves and owners was forbidden and he had been stuck on the run. He had hidden here many times as Military forces locked buildings during martial law.

"Now what?" Natalia asked as she powered KARR down so anyone looking for them wouldn't find them. They then heard KITT speak.

"There is a a variation of KARR on the the 6th level. This KARR is incomplete. It's not active, but we can strip it's technology and install it into our KARR," KITT said. Michael stared in awe at the thought of another KARR.

"I never heard of another KARR being created here," Michael said as he ran up the ramp of the garage and saw the vehicle.

"KITT, scan the vehicle for any weapons that we can appropriate as well as any historical files we can use that may help us get home," Michael ordered. A moment passed then KITT spoke. "There are references to a multi-mini missile that carry poisonous gases that pore out once the missiles hit their targets. There are also historical files programmed into that vehicle that are classified," KITT said. "What can we use to break down the classified files, to discover how my native universe discovered the one our vehicles are native to," Michael asked. Natalia smirked as as she climbed out of KARR.

"Before she died, Trinity Knight installed a program to break down any classified files using a Kryptonian algorithm from her birth father Jor-El that was in her subconscious that she unlocked. She uploaded it in her last software update for KARR. We just have to make sure our KARR doesn't reactivate the other one," Natalia warned. She ran up the ramp and saw the incomplete version of the Knight Automated Roving Robot. The car was a 1985 Firebird Trans-Am that was modified with with Artificial Intelligence but didn't have the Kryptonian technology theirs did. She climbed into the driver's seat.

"Is the activation process the same?" She asked. He shrugged his shoulders.

"I have no idea, Natalia. KITT, any way to download the classified data as to discover who the operator of the Knight 2000," Michael asked. KITT quickly downloaded the information without reactivating the car.

"This reality's version of Michael Knight," KITT replied. They then heard a voice coming down the ramp.

"I wouldn't reactivate that car If I were you," spoke the voice of the Arkham Knight. He then removed his helmet to reveal his face which was arrogantly handsome.

"My name is Michael Knight." He said as he placed the helmet on the vehicle's hood. Michael stared at the man.

"What prompted you to become a vigilante?" Michael asked his almost-mirror duplicate.

"I was working for WayneTech, a division of Wayne Enterprises that had a contract with Knight Industries working directly with CEO Bruce Wayne. He had asked me to help me in his war on crime, as he was creating Batman, but he killed a man who had shot a boy, but it turned out the boy was a cloned child which is forbidden here in the UEA. He had started killing anyone and everyone regardless if they were a criminal or not. The armor I am wearing was supposed to be a prototype suit for his Batman armor, but he was one step ahead of me. The Regent had been building KARR but stopped to begin working on KITT when his co-Regent Dr. Charles Graiman had programmed KARR to kill a leadership of generals," Michael said. "How did your reality discover ours?" Natalia asked. "We sent a train from Seattle Washington to New Austin Texas, and the train suddenly began to accelerate, and it opened a wormhole linking our reality with Earth-1, although we refer to the native reality that the train went to as Earth-2. We had installed a tracker on the train with a live camera but the camera cut out when it passed through the wormhole," The Arkham Knight said.

"We need to stop Batman, but we need to also need to find a way home," Michael said.

"Let's go to Knight Industries as I have access to the Houston location. My father, Wilton made me the Regional manager of the Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas tri-State area. There's an APB for the Arkham Knight but not one for Michael Knight. We can bring your vehicles there," The Arkham Knight said. Both Natalia and Michael looked at each other and then nodded.

"Come on, there is much to do," The Arkham Knight said…
