Hello all my readers! I would like to apologies for the long wait but I didn't realize that I would be so busy.

I would also like to thank a nice reader who messaged me to let me know that I had messed up the timeline. I know I have but it's hard when the DVD doesn't come out until the 3/12/12, and I figure this is a fanfic its going to be a little messed up anyway...

As usual: I don't own anything you recognize (wish I did) and I am writing this for entertainment purposes only.

Raine POV

I walk down the path into the cistern. We had employed the Cat to lead the Batman right into our trap, now was just a waiting game. I stood next to Barsad on the catwalk above where Bane was waiting. I hear the faint sounds of talking and glance down to see if Bane has heard them as well, he has his head tilted slightly to one side, he knows.

We see the Cat and the Bat walk up to the catwalk, Batman walks in and the gate falls down locking him in. "I had no choice. I needed a way to keep them from killing me" Selina explains to Bruce while staring with guilty eyes. "You just made a serious mistake." he says to her, sounding pissed off. "Not as serious as yours, I fear..." Bane says as Bruce turns around. "Bane" Bruce states. "Let us not stand on ceremony, Mr. Wayne." Bane says to Bruce before Bruce moves in for a punch to the face. Selina seems shocked by the idea that Bruce Wayne is Batman.

Their fighting goes on for a few minutes before Bruce throws some mini flares in Banes direction. "Theatricality and deception are powerful agents to the uninitiated... but we are initiated, aren't we Bruce? Members of the League of Shadows!" Bane shouts as Bruce falls back. Bane then stalks forward and lifts Bruce by the neck "and you betrayed us" he shouts. Bruce just has to make matter worse for himself and says "you were excommunicated… by a gang of psychopaths" which then causes Bane to viciously beat down Bruce and throw him across the ground. "I AM the League of Shadows, and I'm here to fulfil Ra's al Ghul's destiny!" Bane proclaims to the room. Bruce pulls out a small device from his belt, and then suddenly everything went dark. I can hear the smirk in Banes voice "Oh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man; by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!" Bane grabs batman from the shadows and continues to punch him to the ground. "The shadows betrayed you because they belong to me" He shouts before repeatedly punching Bruce to break his mask.

While Bruce is lying on the floor, collecting his bearings, Bane gestures up, I throw him the remote to the explosives planted up the side of the foundations. "I will show you where I have made my home while preparing to bring justice. Then I will break you." The detonator is then hit and the ceiling of the cistern collapses, bringing a tumbler with it. "Your precious armoury, gratefully accepted! We will need it." Bane says, as if Bruce has given him this as a present. Bruce then tries to stand and desperately tries to swing at Bane. I can see the delight in Banes eyes "Ah, yes... I was wondering what would break first..." he then proceeds to pick batman up and hold him above his head. "Your spirit or your body?" Bane questions as he then slams Batman down onto his knee, breaking Bruce's back.

"Is Miss Al Ghul sound of mind?" asked a juror. The judge turned towards one the doctors that had evaluated me. "I believe that Miss Al Ghul, though slightly sociopathic" at this I snorted, "is perfectly sane and doesn't require any treatment". I look up at the sound of the door creaking open, what I see causes my eyes to widen "Barsad" I whisper softly underneath my breath. He takes a seat in the back row and winks in my direction signing with his hands that he was here to find out where I'm going so that they could break me out in transit. I smirk at him and sign if Bane was ok…

Banes POV:

Now that Bruce is broken we can now carry on with the rest of our plan, we will use the weapons and vehicles from his armory to sabotage this city and make it tear itself apart. Two of the league brothers drag Bruce away after he had passed out from the pain, I turn to follow them. "Make sure to secure the applied sciences department, I don't want anyone unwanted in there" I call up to the men. I then continue my journey to the end of the tunnel. As I walk I can hear a second set of footsteps next to me. I look down to see Raine walking next to me. "Where are we going to take Bruce?" she asks me. "Home" I tell her, I feel her freeze.

Raine POV

"Home" Bane replies. I freeze, all the horrible memories of that place coming back to me.

The shouts of pain from Bane is all I can hear, all I can feel is the knife carving ,what I will later find out are wings, into my back and the knife slicing down following my spine.

The screams of Talia's mother as she is raped and killed echo throw my brain, even though It has been days since the incident. Every time I close my eyes all I can see is the men dragging her away and Talia's terrified expression.

My hands are covered in the blood running from Banes face; he has split the stitches again. I try to stem the bleeding by pressing my spare clothes to his face, but the blood just soaks through the material. I call for the doctor but no one responds. I hear footsteps behind me; I turn to see most of the male inmates looking at me with lust filled eyes. I glare at them in warning "what do you want?" I ask them in Arabic, "you" the one in the front replies "and without your protector we can have you". I refuse to go down without a fight, when the first one approaches me I punch him in the face but he continues on…..

The inmates grab hold of me and force themselves onto and into my person, I scream, fight and cry for Bane as a I attempt to get them off of me, I feel the pressure of a knife in my side and I immediately stop moving, even with all my training I'll never get free of them.

When I come back to the real world, I feel myself pressed against something warm and firm. I open my eyes and see that I am pressed against Banes chest, his shirt damp from the tears running down my face. I breathed deep and pulled myself away "Sorry" I say, "Didn't mean to let my emotions get the better of me." Bane just gives me an 'I understand' look and continues to pull me along with him.

We arrive to the airfield outside of Gotham where a plane is waiting for us. Bane and I approach the plane just as Bruce was 'escorted' onto the plane by some brothers of the league. After about an hour of standing around and waiting we were all set and on our way to Kuwait.*

The flight is long and bumpy in place but we eventually make it too Kuwait "half of you take the stuff and go to the disclosed location, the rest of you are to come with me and our guest so that we may deposit him" Bane commands as he stands tall in the heat of the sun. I myself am hot and a bit sweaty, but nothing I'm not used to working with Bane. We are in the middle of nowhere and the nearest place I can think of is…. "Kamar has let us in his palace?" Bane looks down at me "On the condition that we behave, unlike last time." He says as he gives me a pointed look. "Well I apologise, I didn't realize that dancing on the table was such a sin, all the other girls were doing it" I exclaim. He just chuckles and continues to walk forwards. After about an hour of walking, or dragging on Bruce's part, we finally begin to see the opening of the Pit. My heart begins to beat faster as we get closer to the edge.

Thank you for reading! Review please. :)

* I picked an Arabic country, cause I'm not sure where the location of the pit is. I know in the comics he is born in the:Caribbean Republic of Santa Prisca Prison. any suggestions about the location of the pit?
