I'm not going to say anything this time guys, let's just get to the show.

By the way, have you seen Fate of the Furious yet? So worth it. Very good.

I don't own any of the franchises or characters that appear in this story.

By the way, I'm altering the Arkham universe just a bit. In this, neither Deadshot nor Killer Croc were in Arkham Origins. Which villains were is up to you. Just trying to avoid confusion.

Bella- whisper talking

Whisper's in the Black Ch.4

Bella opened her eyes as the sounds of cars zooming by crawled their way into her ears. Rolling onto her side, Bella saw Diablo sitting in a corner, face down, but towards her. As she took in his features, she couldn't help but feel something towards the tattooed metahuman. She thought in her head "I wonder what it'd be like to be in his arms, to hold him, to kis-"

She interrupted her thoughts by shaking her head and turning away from Diablo. She would not let someone in again. Not like Edward. Bella waited until the others woke up. Flag pulled them all together and pulled out a map of Gotham. Flag informed "I spoke to Waller last night and she gave me the layout. Joker has sentries on the roofs. He also has patrols going through the city. We'll have to stay low. We'll use the subway. You see a target and they see you, drop them."

Deadshot replied sarcastically "Nah, we were going to walk up to them and invite them for some fish and chips."

Flag rolled his eyes and said "Okay, stock up. We move in 10."

Bella jumped to the roof and searched the streets. Finding a patrol in the street below, she shifted her arm into her Whipfist and flanked the patrol. Aiming for a straggler, she launched her weapon and felt it go through the man's throat! Pulling him back, she slammed him into the ground and used the blades running across the Whipfist to rip the man apart. Tendrils spread from her body and drew the man's parts into her. She held her head as she felt his memories flood into her.

He saw the pods coming down and heard a deep voice say "Increase patrols and keep me updated throughout the day. The Joker will want to know when we find his pet."

She came out of the memory and sprinted back to the others. Dropping down, she heard Flag ask her "Where'd you go?"

Bella answered "Went to find out what's what. Whoever's in charge saw us landing last night. He ordered an increase in patrols. Joker knows Harley's here."

Deadshot asked "What are we going to do about old Clown Boy?"

Flag replied "We may have to kill him. Actual kill. We can't risk him doing this again."

Harley shouted "What?! No, you can't kill him!"

Flag tried to say "Harley, we may have no-"

Harley shouted again "No, I won't let you kill Pudding!"

Bella walked up to the insane shouting woman "Harley, calm down. We're not going to kill your Pudding, but we can't let him go either. Look at it this way. Waller will kill you and him if we don't stop him. Joker is going to get what he wants if we don't bring him down. He's going to get you and himself killed, but not if we stop him. He'll be safe in Arkham, at least until the Batman takes over. Waller won't be watching and he won't get killed."

Harley asked "What if he hates me afterward?"

Bella replied "I know that it's probably almost certain, but if he hates you for saving his life, there's something really, really wrong with him."

Harley took a deep breath and nodded before smiling and saying "You know, I have to ask. Are you related to Dr. Phil?"

Bella grinned and she replied "No. I'm just rational."

Suddenly, a voice filled the air "Oh my. That's touching. Definitely not something I expected from the Joker's pet."

Out of the shadows strode a platinum blonde woman. She wore an orange leather jacket with black lines cutting through the orange like scales and black leather pants. The fangs in her smile led up to the slits that were her eyes.

Flag muttered hatefully "Copperhead."

She smiled and answered "Not just me."

Behind them, the ground shifted and changed colors until it shaped into a giant hulking clay beast. Above them, the sound of a jetpack and cackling announced the arrival of Firefly. Bella recognized him because as a little girl, she had witnessed him on Christmas Eve while visiting an uncle in Gotham.

Copperhead said to them "Kill them all except Harley. The Joker will want his doll back."

Then she leapt at Flag while Firefly grabbed Croc with a hook and taking off. Bella leapt after him and used her Tendrils to grab Croc's leg. Then all she saw was sky.

Diablo's POV:

Diablo watched as Bella and Croc were taken by Firefly. Suddenly, he was hit by a heavy tentacle of clay! Gunshots sounded as Deadshot tried to take the thing down. Looking up, he saw Clayface raise his giant fist and sent it falling towards him! Diablo rolled out of the way and grabbed onto the fist before Clayface could raise it again. Doing his best to race up the arm, Diablo reached Clayface's upper body, gripped the clay with a fire- engulfed hand, and slid down the body. Once he reached the ground, he put the still flaming fist into the creatures leg. As he held on for dear life when Clayface tried to shake him off, Diablo wondered how Bella was doing.

Flag's POV:

Flag was doing his best to avoid the poison-tipped claws that Copperhead kept attacking him with. Harley lay slumped in a corner, barely conscious after Copperhead did a body-slam on her. Copperhead tripped him when he looked to Harley and leaped on top of him. Quickly, he put his M4 between his face and her claws. She smiled and was about to stab him in the chest when suddenly they heard "Incoming!"

3 minutes earlier

Bella's POV:

Bella started climbing up Croc's leg as Firefly flew through the city, trying to concentrate and block out the air whistling around them and Croc yelling. Firefly looked over his shoulder and saw Bella climbing after him. Narrowing his eyes under the mask, Firefly flew close to a high-rise and watched with glee as Bella crashed through it.

Bella shook her head as she recovered, trying to get the ringing out of her ears. Bella morphed her arm into a Whipfist and climbed to the top of the building. When she saw Firefly shriek by, she shot the hook out and felt it pierce the metal jetpack. Retracting it, she pulled him back and said "Come here."

Panicking, Firefly put full power into the jetpack and she was dragged away again. Luckily, she was still attached to him and she pulled herself to his back. She ripped off one of the wings and they started to fall. Bella saw the fast-approaching ground and started to pull on Firefly's pack. She was able to pull it so they were going at a slow descent. Suddenly, she saw Clayface trying to shake Diablo off of his leg and Flag attempting to get Copperhead off of him. She tried to yell "Incoming!" before they suddenly crashed!

When they crashed, Firefly's wing hit Copperhead in the face which sent them both sprawling and Bella, the remains of the jetpack, and K.C. hurling towards Clayface. When they hit him, chunks of burnt and hardened clay flew apart while Bella drew Croc into a protective hold with her obsidian Shield as bricks and shrapnel fell towards them. When it stopped, Bella dropped her shields and let Croc go. While they got up, Bella saw Flag handcuffing Copperhead by her hands, feet, and Firefly. Feeling funny, she reached towards her back to feel a leathery surface. Harley woke up, saw her, and squealed while saying "You can fly?! Why didn't you tell me?"

It was true. Somehow, Bella's body had grown leathery, bat-like wings that were decorated with spikes and scales. Each of them had to be at least 8 to 9 feet long. Bella caressed them, folded them and soon they disappeared inside of her body. Deadshot was looking at her in awe and said "Okay, I don't know about you guys, but I'm a little jealous."

Flag asked "How'd you get those?"

Diablo replied "Don't you remember what you told us Flag? Evolved can assume the parts of their enemies."

Flag shook his head and said "No, that doesn't make any sense because even if Firefly can fly, he can't do it without his jetpack."

Bella asked "Maybe it happened when we crashed? The jetpack was with me and Croc when we fell."

Flag answered "Not according to Waller. She said you can only absorb organic matter."

Boomerang interrupted "Whatever the reason, it's fucking awesome."

Flag shouted "Alright, shut up! There's no doubt that the fight drew attention, especially with Bella, Croc, and Firefly ripping their way through the sky. We better move."

Bella asked "What about them?"

Flag replied "They'll only slow us down. We'll track them down once this fuck-up is all over."

Flag led them through the alleys of Gotham as they heard vehicles rumble and groups of guards wandered by. Bella was pulled into her thoughts as they wandered on. Her eyes grew a crimson haze as she thought about the letter the vampire had left her on her father's body. About how Edward had caused it all. She heard the whispers again "It's his fault. He left you to die. He told you to stay away, to be afraid, to love him, he said he'd protect you, then he left you for time to claim! He caused it, he turned you into this, he destroyed you!"

She cried back to her thoughts "Stop it! Don't make me see it again! I know! I will take him apart! JUST SHUT UP!"

They cackled before mocking her "You think you can control us?! No, we control you. We are YOU!"

Bella slumped against a wall as she clutched her head and tried to fight back against her thoughts "No, you can't be. You would have me destroy everything, not just those who have hurt me! You are not me!"

As they retreated back into her subconscious, they whispered "Like it or not, we will take control and then our justice will come."

Enraged at the threat, Bella took hold of a dumpster and threw it into a wall! At the noise, the others spun around and saw her in her weakened state. Deadshot put her arm around him and picked her up, bridal style. He looked down to Bella and asked "You okay?"

She looked up to him with blurry eyes, nodded, and said "I need to rest a little. Just for a few minutes. 30 minutes tops."

Flag sighed, looked around, and led them into Gotham Bank.

As he went a corner, Flag said "I'll update Waller."

Deadshot set her down on a desk and his fading footsteps were the last thing she heard before letting sleep claim her.

Time Skip:

Bella groggily opened her eyes to a strange smell. Shrugging it off, she looked around, she saw the others in their own corners. She saw Diablo sleeping on his side, flat on the floor.

The voices momentarily came back "You know, he's kind of attractive and you know it. We felt your wanting when you first saw him."

Bella thought back "Shut up. I don't like him. Besides, any attraction that I may have felt probably came from you. Even if what you say was true, I'm not going to let him in like Edward."

They whispered back "When are you going to get over what that bastard did to you? It's ridiculous and you know it. Deny it all you want. You want Diablo."

Shaking her head, she got to her feet and walked over to Diablo's prone body. Tapping his shoulder, she grew worried when he didn't even shrug her off. Turning his body towards her, she jumped back when she saw his face. Diablo was awake, gritting his teeth as if in pain. His arms and legs were tense, as if he was trying to break out of ropes that weren't there.

Looking around her, she saw the others in the same state. Turning back to Diablo, she watched as he managed through his pain "Get..Get the door!"

Bella leaped to her feet and sprinted to the door. Shifting her arms into claws, she gripped the doors and tore them off their hinges... only to get shot in the chest!

Groaning, Bella struggled to her feet only to be met by with a giant fist smashing her back down. She was pulled to her feet by a very large man with a skull mask with a black outfit outlined by green tubes (Regime Bane).

Blinking through the pain, she saw two other figures. One was a woman with crimson red hair and clothes. What caught Bella's attention is that the woman's skin was a pale green and a pink flower writhed around her arm, the petals emitting some kind of pheromone.

The other was an athletic man wearing orange and black armor. One side of his mask was orange and showed an eye, the color of the iris like a stormy gray. The other side had no eye and was pure black. Along his back and hips was an armory. A sword, staff, SMGs, pistols, grenades, and the rifle he used to shoot her in his hands.

As he shouldered his rifle, he stepped up to examine Bella. She heard his muffled voice say "The Joker should pay me extra for a catch like this. I'm only supposed to take down the Bat, but 7 of some of the dangerous people on the planet. I can only imagine how much that'll fetch me."

Behind him, Poison Ivy smirked as Deathstroke pulled Bella's eyes up to meet his before saying "Lights out." Then he slammed his fist into her face!

Time Skip:

Bella groaned as she felt her body being dragged across a tile floor. She heard Deathstroke say "Bane, she's coming to."

They momentarily stopped as Bane slammed his fist into her again as he roared "Stay down!"

Then they continued on. Bella opened her eyes and saw Deathstroke tailing behind them. When he saw her open eyes, he asked "Enjoy your nap?"

Then she heard laughter as they entered a large area. Bane pulled her up and placed her chains onto a hanging hook. When she looked up, Bella got her first glimpse of the Joker. He sat an electric chair fashioned into a throne with flags like the U.S. national flag, but instead of red, white, and blue, it was red, green, and purple. Beside his chair, Harley sat in a regular chair under guard. When he saw Bella, the Joker gave her an insane grin and said "So this is the girl that kicked Copperhead's ass. You know, now that I think about it, she's failed me twice. Give her a few guards, she makes burger meat out of them, but put her against a metahuman or even a man in a bat outfit, she falls head over feet. That's the last time I hire her."

He jumped out of his chair and said "You know, I heard from the annoying jetpack boy that you convinced MY Harley to turn against me. Do you know what happens when someone tries to get between Harley and me? They usually have to go to a funeral service the next morning. Or they end up somewhere less than clean."

The Joker continued "Unfortunately, I don't have a nuclear bomb on me... yet, and I hear that's one of the only ways to kill people like you. So you see my predicament. Too unpredictable to let go and too hard to kill."

Harley tried "Pudding, please don't kill-"

She was interrupted when Joker hit her with his revolver and shouted "You shut up! You don't get to speak anymore since you tried to get me and all these others locked in here again! Now as I was saying before the female dog spoke up, what am I going to do with you?"

His twisted smile emerged once again and Bella felt a chill go up her spine.

Well, that's it for now. If I did something wrong, please tell me so I may fix it. The next chapter will be a blast that I'm going to start working on as soon as I can. Reviews and feedback are very much appreciated. Until next time, goodbye!
