AN: The way I can best describe the way this sequel came about, is pure accident. I was listening to a radio show, they mentioned the Joker (from Batman, obviously), and I already written this story with another way to go in mind, but I decided to take it in another direction. Well, let's continue, shall we?

Chapter Two: A New Home

Michael was barely conscious when he was brought to the hospital. He was somewhat aware as to what was happening, and what had happened. Michael, upset that his girlfriend broke up with him, decided to try and take his life. Why did he go to Hollywood and try it there was still bothering him. In his state of mind, he wasn't thinking straight, and that was putting it as nicely as it could be. There was something that was really bothering the family, especially Christian, the one who found him. He rode in the ambulance as they were trying to keep Michael alive, but Christian just felt as though there was something bigger in the works. He had so many unanswered questions that were going to get answered, but those answers were not going to be what anyone expected.

Michael, what is going on with you? Christian wondered as they arrived at the hospital.

Michael laid in the hospital bed, fully under, of course, as various doctors hovered around him. He was fine, in so many words. Well, they managed to bandage his wrists, and he was under a suicide watch in case he were to try to end his life again. There were many doctors hovering around him, taking tests, looking at his skin, you know, just taking more of an interest in this young man who tried to commit suicide.

What made his family, this being Michael's family I am talking about here, is how many doctors are talking about him. Why are so many people curious about him, and why are there so many talking under their breath away from Charles and Melody? All he did was try and commit suicide. Not trying to make light of it, but it really wasn't something worth a bunch of doctors time.

Charles was disturbed by a female doctor who motioned for him to follow her to a corner of the hospital.

"Charles Harris? Hi, I'm Harley Quinntete." The doctor said, a smile on her face. That smile made Charles a little uneasy.

"Yes? How's Michael doing?" Charles asked her.

"Well, I wish the explanation was as simple as pie, but it is not." Harley said.

"What's wrong?" Charles asked him.

"His physical state is fine, but I am quite worried about his mental state." Harley told Charles. "I want to move him to my mental institution for further observation. I want to know just what happened here, and I feel I can get a better understanding for his mental state at my mental institution."

"Are you positively sure that Michael will be alright there?" Charles asked her.

"Sure, I guarantee it." Harley said, giving him that same smile that made him uneasy. Charles glanced at Michael, who was resting peacefully. He hated to do this, but with Melody at home, he couldn't risk having someone like Michael there. That was a horrible thing to day, but Michael had to go, for all of their sakes.

"Fine. I will let you take him." Charles said, shaking her hand.

"Thank you sir. I will let you know when we are going to move him to his new home." Harley said.

Charles did not say a word, but he looked towards his younger brother, hoping he just made the right decision.

Charles walked into his home, shutting the door behind him. Michael was not going to be home for a while, and that was good and bad, if you thought about it for a certain way. Michael was finally going to get the help that he needed, but Charles made this decision without consulting anyone. His older sister, who lived in Missouri, had no idea what was going on, but by now she probably did. That was a phone call that he was not looking forward to. Charles had something he had to do, and that was the painful task of packing up Michael's room.

As he was doing so, Melody came home, and noticed what Charles was doing. Curious, she stood at the door, and knocked.

"Hey." Charles said, not looking in her direction, or even acknowledging her.

"What are you doing?" Melody asked him.

"Packing up Michael's room." Charles said.

"Why? You know he is coming home, right?" Melody said.

Charles didn't answer.

"He is coming home, right?" Melody asked, her voice becoming somewhat shrill.

Charles dreaded this, because he kind of knew how Melody was gonna react. Michael was Melody's protector, and she looked up to him as if he was her dad, despite them being barely a year apart in age. Well, no time better than the present to tell her what was going on.

"I am sending him to an institution to get his mind right." Charles said, trying to keep his voice normal.

"Are you fucking kidding me!?" Melody screamed.

"I had to!" Charles screamed back. "Michael was a bad influence! I couldn't have him here, especially with you here! Michael has to get help before he tries to do this again!"

"So it's about how you feel huh?" Melody said, tears in her eyes. "Well then big shot, when Michael gets better, and he remembers who sent him away, and all of the bad things that happened to him, what are you going to do when he wants revenge?"

"I will do what I have to do." Charles said, his voice shaky.

It was a few more days before Michael finally came to. Michael sat up, and took a brief look around as to try and get his bearings, and it was an attempt to find out where he was. He expected to be in the hospital, but he soon realized that he was not there anymore. He was somewhere, but it made no sense as to exactly where he was.

A female doctor walked in, and gave him a friendly smile.

"Hello, Michael Harris right? I'm Penny Young, but you can call me Dr. Young." She told him.

"Where am I?" Michael asked her.

"Oh, you don't know?" Dr. Young asked him.

"No, where am I? Where are my family members?" Michael asked.

"Michael, your brother Charles gave us permission to admit you here. You have been under for a few days." Dr. Young told him.

"Where am I?" Michael asked her.

"Arkham Asylum." Dr. Young said.

AN: Next time, while Michael get used to his new home, he also see some familiar faces. This being Arkham, there are gonna be some well known faces, at least if you know the Batman comics. Thanks, and stick around for more!
