AN: Okay, I know that I have been away for a while, but I was just trying to get my mind back into the swing of things. I changed the way the story ended at first, because I didn't like how I ended the story originally. Second, I am on the fence as to where I am taking this story. It will either go with Arkham Knight route, or Suicide Squad. I will decide in the future, but enjoy this reedit of the chapter.

Chapter Five: The White Knight

"Well, it seems that Bane has our little guests on the run." Hugo said, a smile crossing his face. Harley uncrossed her legs, and jumped off the counter that she was sitting on.

"Really?" She said with excitement. "Well then, let's go and get them!"

"Wait, my sweet. Bane will have them cornered, and when he does, we will get them where he has them." Hugo said with a smile.

"How are you going to figure out where Bane is, let alone all of them?" Harley asked him.

"Simple." Hugo said, taking out a remote control looking device. "When Bane stops moving and Scarecrow contacts me, we will be able to find them all with this remote. Before Scarecrow and Bane left here, I put a tracker on Bane."

"I guess that explains things." Harley said, shrugging her shoulders. "When we find them all. Miley and Travis are mine."

"That is clearly fair." Hugo said, nodding his bald head.

"So, what now?" Harley said, looking out the window at Arkham City.

"We wait for the signal from Scarecrow, and we are out here." Hugo said. Before Harley could say anything else, Hugo's phone rang, and he stepped into the other room, and answered it.

He was only gone a few seconds before he came back, looking white and panicked.

"Let's go. NOW." He said, heading for the door.

"Who was-"

"NOW!" Hugo screamed, sprinting out the door. Harley followed, curious and confused as to what happened on that phone conversation.

Zane, Sergei, Talia, and Ambrose were waiting near the entrance to Arkham, hidden from view from the guards that were around that area. They were hidden near Arkham City, ready to do what they came to do. Their mission? The Dragons were going to head inside, and find Miley, Travis, Melody, Charles, and Alex. The mission that they had to do, seemed to be an impossible one. That's why there were sitting there arguing about that mission at the moment.

"Just how in the hell are we supposed to go into Arkham, and find these assholes?" Zane asked his teammates.

"We aren't." Ambrose said. "Talia and Sergei are going in there to find these guys. While that is going on, you and me are looking around for a suitable vehicle to get them all out of here."

"Oh, lucky you." Talia said sarcastically. "You guys get to play Grand Theft Auto while we are busy looking around a war zone for Mike's friends and family."

"Where is the boss anyway?" Sergei asked the team.

"No idea. He told us to do this, and made himself scarce." Ambrose said.

"Is this even possible?" Zane asked.

"Yeah." Ambrose said. "Easy? No. Possible? Yes."

"Alright then, smart ass. You guys go do what you want to do, and we will do what we have to do."

"Fine." Ambrose said, heading off with Zane.

"Asshole." Talia said. Sergei motioned to her, and the other two dragons snuck into Arkham City.

David and was running quickly through the city of criminals, while Batman watched from the shadows, but close enough in case the Dark Knight had to step in on a situation that turned quickly. David stopped for a moment to look around, just to gather where he was. As he started to move again, he noticed a familiar looking brunette running with another group of people. It was Alex!

David then realized that the other group of people must have been the ones that Harley and Hugo kidnaped as well. He was about to make after them, but saw someone big and muscular chasing them.

"Shit. Bane, of course it's Bane." David said, entering the shadows to avoid being seen. "Batman, you see that?"

"Yeah, I saw Bane." Batman replied. "Stay back, and let me handle this."

"No. That is my wife, and I am not going to let anything happen to her." David said quickly running in the shadows to get ahead of them.

Batman sighed irritably, and ran to catch up with David, Bane, and the ones running from Bane.

The group felt as though they were getting close to the edge of the city, but they had to keep moving and not stopping because Bane was hot on their tails.

"Are we there yet?" Miley asked, out of breath.

"I don't think so." Alex said, looking around.

"Do you know where you are going?" Travis asked her.

"Not really." Alex said. "I never been here before, and never again after this situation is over and done with."

"We gotta keep moving, otherwise-"

BOOM.

"Bane's gonna catch us."

They all turned and saw Bane standing there, growling intensely at them. Hugo also caught up with them, and patted Bane on the arm with a smile on his face.

"I take it that you have met my new friend Bane. I turned him in order to serve me. That is enough chit chat for now. Now that we are all here, let's continue shall we?" Hugo said. "Bane, if you don't mind, kill them please."

Bane looked at Hugo Strange, and nodded. Bane took a few steps towards the group in front of him, and growled loudly as he outstretched his arms. Everyone braced themselves for an attack by Bane.

But nothing happened.

Bane stood still in that same position as if he was frozen in time. That left everyone confused as to what exactly just happened here. Then, out of nowhere and suddenly, Bane fell over. They saw why Bane was not moving, and now fell over. There was a sword sticking out of the back of his head. Whoever threw that sword, not only killed Bane, but saved them all from what was about to happen.

"Who did that!?" Hugo screamed looking around at the shadows that surrounded them all. Hugo knew that whoever it was, was going to get him next. He contemplated trying to run, but the moment he turned to try and run, he felt a hand around his throat.

"Hugo, Hugo, Hugo. You have been a very big pain in my ass. I was resting and now have I had to come and clean up the mess that you have made." The voice said.

"Wait, listen. I can explain..." Hugo tried to explain, but the white gloved hand around his throat. The young man that had a hold of him was not hearing any of it. Hugo looked into his ice-cold blue eyes, and his grasp around the throat continued to get tighter until Hugo fell to the ground lifeless. He was still alive, just out cold.

"Trust me, he deserved a lot more." The hooded figure said, turning to the five characters that was watching him.

No one spoke as he walked over to Bane's lifeless figure, and plucked the sword out of Bane's neck.

Just then, Sergei and Talia arrived, and saw the scene in front of them.

"Jesus, what happened here?" Talia asked them.

"A little house cleaning." The hooded guy said. "Ambrose and Zane got the wheels yet?"

"Knowing them comrade, probably." Sergei said.

"Okay. Take them to the entrance of Arkham City and get them out of here." He said.

"What are you going to do?" Talia asked.

"I have to have a conversation with Harley Quinn. Then I will be out of here." He said.

"Wait a minute. Just who the hell are you supposed to be?" Charles asked the guy.

His face being hid by the hood that he was wearing, he calmly turned to them, and dropped the hood.

"Michael!?" Miley said, in shock and awe.

"In the flesh." Michael said with a smile. "Alright, here's what is going to happen. Talia and Sergei are going to take you to the entrance to Arkham where Ambrose and Zane are going to get you out of here. David and Batman are probably heading over here, and they should be able to take you the rest of the way."

"Wait, why should we trust them? Most of all you?" Travis asked Michael.

Michael calmly stepped over to Travis, and leaned into his ear, his voice hardly at all above a whisper.

"Because, you piece of shit, I could have killed you months ago, and I am the reason you are alive. This is it, though. I will get you for what you did to me. I WILL get you and Miley for what you done to me." Michael stepped back and smiled.

Melody walked over, and hugged him tightly.

"I missed you so much." Melody said, almost crying.

"Don't worry, as soon as I am done here. I will be back." Michael said. He then turned away, and flew away from them.

Batman and David had to split up once they found the group. David made sure that they were able to reach the end of Arkham City safely, while Batman went on ahead into the city. He got to a point where he saw Michael, Harley Quinn, and Hugo Strange.

As he got close to them all, he was able to see that Hugo was tied up and out cold. Harley had on some handcuffs, and was staring down at the ground, but Batman could tell that she was crying.

"What happened here?" Batman asked Michael.

"I just had a conversation with Harley here." Michael said. "I take it that everyone is out safely?

"Everyone is on their way back to safety."They are yours."

"Fine." Batman said. "I guess that I should give you my thanks."

"Don't. Be glad that I am giving you these two, and not turning my range on you." Michael said coldly.

Batman didn't say anything, just turned his attention to Hugo and Harley Quinn. Michael turned back to them, but Harley Quinn looked up into his eyes.

"Sorry." Harley whispered to him.

"It's alright. I'll see you sometime soon." Michael said. Harley rushed over to Michael, and gave him a tight hug. Michael was caught off guard by that, but he returned her show of affection with one of his own.

Michael then stepped away from her, gave her a warm smile, and took off to the sky. As Michael disappeared into the sky, Harley looked after him, and flashed a smile on her face.

So, after little bit of time had came and went, Michael wondered what he was going to do next. The thing was, he kind of was homeless at the moment. Arkham Asylum was long gone, and the fiasco with Arkham City meant that it most likely was going the way of it's Asylum predecessor. Then he contemplated returning home with Melody and Charles, but that was out of the question due to the burning bridge between them.

Even though he was without a place to lay his head, Michael still had something on his mind, well it was more like two people. Miley and Travis. He wondered what he was going to do once he got his hands of them, but at the same time, he wondered if it was even worth the work at all. He thinks that because in the back of his mind, there was some type of hope that he and Miley would get back together. He laughed under his breath, knowing that was not going to happen anytime soon.

Even after all of that, Michael was wondering just what was his next move was going to be. He didn't want to wander aimlessly, because there was no benefit to doing that, and what was he really going to accomplish by doing that?

Michael sighed, and stood up from where he was sitting. He knew what he had to do, and as he flew towards that destination, a sinister smile grew on his face.

Harley felt miserable as she was lead to her cell by two guards. Shackles on her feet and hands to restrain her, she felt completely hopeless, and to make matters worse, she was all alone in an unfamiliar location. The place she was incarcerated at? It wasn't Arkham, nor was it any of the familiar facilities in Gotham City.

"Get in there." The guards said, taking her shackles off of her and roughly shoving her inside. Once the cell slammed shut behind her, she stuck her tongue out at the guards, who in turn did not respond and walked away.

Harley turned back towards her bed, and nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw someone sitting on her bed. Of course she recognized who that 'someone', was.

"Hi, Harley." Michael said with a smile.

Harley giggled happily, and rushed over to hug him.

"What are you doing here?" Harley asked once she broke the hug.

"I came here to pay you a visit." Michael said. "But seriously. Did you honestly think that I would let you stay in this pit for any length of time?"

"You busting me out?" Harley asked him.

"Yep, let's go." Michael said, pulling her close.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Harley asked him.

"Getting you out of here." Michael said. He smiled at her, and then they were gone, with a faint crack.

Melody sighed as she entered her home. It was kind of weird being here, because she would always hold some sort of grudge against Charles for sending Michael to Arkham. He was tricked into doing that, but at the same time he deserved to be punished for doing so.

As Melody trudged up the steps and towards her bedroom, she noticed Michael's bedroom door was slightly open. For some strange reason, Melody had to enter the room.

Melody stopped cold as she saw someone standing there, long blonde hair into a ponytail. She knew who it was the moment her eyes laid on the figure in front of her.

"Oh, hi Melody." Michael said casually.

"Mike? What the hell?" Melody asked him in disbelief.

"What? I can't stand here in my room?" Michael asked her. "This is my room, after all."

"Does Charles know you are here?" Melody asked him.

"Nope." Michael said in disbelief. "I want to surprise him when he gets home."

"Okay. Fine with me." Melody said. "Um, Mike. Are you in trouble?"

"Nope." Michael answered. "I am in the clear, for now at least."

Melody wanted to question what that meant, but didn't press it. She was just glad that Michael was back home.

Travis had just gotten back from lunch with Miley, when he saw an envelope nailed to his front door. It had his name on it, all capitalized in black block letters. He opened the letter, and began to read it.

Hey there, Travis. First of all, I have to apologize for being away and being out of touch for this long. I have to let you know that I have been thinking about you for this entire time. During that time, I have been thinking of ways to make you pay for stealing Miley from me. But here's the best part, so pay attention. Harley is loose as well, and she won't miss next time.

~ Michael Harris

Travis looked up from the envelope, just in time to see Michael staring at him from across the street from him. Michael gave him a nod, and was gone in an instant.

All they could do was worry, knowing that Michael was going to seek his revenge soon enough.

This story is far from over...
