A/N: Hello, I have a prologue ready for the new story I'm writing please comment if you want to read and I'll either post it for a short amount of time or maybe leave a post a screenshot of it here, or post a small part of it here.
Also should Isabella be in the sequel?

When Rose had accepted Alex's proposal she didn't know what was waiting for her. 
They headed to New Orleans, on the way there they bonded enough to consider themselves friends.
Enough to be able to keep a big secret.

"After we do this we never talk about it again, ever."

"Don't worry my lips are sealed."

{Rose's POV}

We've been back in Gotham for a few days and we're caught in some sort of trouble.
He came at the same time Galavan was back from the dead. Queenie ended going over to Wayne manor to fight him. She's also now suffering from a bit of amnesia. 
Alex had left to go break into Arkham, I still have no idea why? But she hasn't been home.
And I try not to think about Edward. Sometimes I go out on the city with Queenie. Sometimes I draw, or cook, or take care of the garden.
One day while I painting Queenie barged in.

"Alex is in trouble. We're teaming up with the Wayne boy. Come on we have to go.

"Wait what?"

"I'll explain on the way over there. Allons-y!"

We went to the Wayne manor, there we met with Jim, Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth, and a man I hadn't met. We got right into the topic. Apparently Alex went with Selina Kyle to Arkham, to go see what exactly they're up to, since dead people have went in and have come out alive. They suppose to meet Bruce this morning, but they didn't.
Right now Mr. Pennyworth was giving Bruce Wayne a lecture. 

"How could you do this, Master Bruce? I strictly forbid you from involving that little girl, didn't I?"

"I know. But Selina's always handled herself. I was sure."

"But you wrong, weren't you? Well, it's different if you choose to be involved in something like this, but you actively involved Selina Kyle. You put your own concerns in front of that girl's safety. You're bang out of order! I'm really disappointed in you, Master Bruce."

"You're sure she's still there?" Jim asked Bruce.

"Yes. She wouldn't have missed our meeting otherwise. Strange must be holding her prisoner in Arkham."

"Only I doubt she's in Arkham. I wager Strange has her in the secret lab where he created Azrael." the man I didn't know chimed in.

"But Strange runs Arkham. He's there every day."

"The lab must be accessed through Arkham." I contributed.

"You're thinking it's underground?" the man asked me.

"It has to be."

"There must be stairs, an elevator, ventilation shafts. The problem is how to find them."

"I may have a solution.", he held his hand out to me, "Lucius Fox." I shook it.

"Rosabelle Darling."

"Let's skip the introductions and get to the solution." Queenie says exasperated.

"The technology Strange is using to create these monsters must be very advanced. My guess he's using plutonium isotopes to mutate cell structure. If so, there'll be trace radiation. At Wayne Enterprises, I developed a miniature Geiger counter for battlefield use. Get me into Arkham, and I'll find the entrance to that lab." His solution was very impressive.

"Wayne Foundation gives the asylum money every year. I'll ask for a tour."

"From the man that ordered the assassination of your father?" All of this seems like none of my business, I feel so awkward.

"He'll wanna find out what we know. And he won't see me and Lucius as a threat."

"No. Absolutely bloody not. You're not to walk straight into the lion's den. I can't even go to back you up with a leg like this, can I?"

"Alfred, you said yourself that it's my fault what happened to Selina Kyle. That means it's my responsibility to make it right."

"And I may not be the man you choose as a second in a street fight, but anything I can do to protect Bruce, I will." Queenie jumps into the conversation.

"I'll go too, I can pass as an intern, and I'm best choice as a second in a street fight." 

"Still, it's a plan, isn't it? I mean, just say that Lucius can get you in there, and you find the entrance to the laboratory, then what?"

"They tell me. I call Bullock, he comes busting in with a hundred cops, keeps Strange busy. I find Selina." Jim answers him.

"I see. And how exactly do you plan on getting in?"

"I mean, these three, possibly, but you? I mean, Strange won't let you within a bloody mile of the place."

"If I can get you inside the gate, can you manage the rest of the way?" Mr. Fox asks Jim.

"Yeah, I think I can."

After I hadn't heard from Queenie or Alex way longer than I expected I decided to go to the GCPD. There I found Alfred, Harvey, Jim, but no Queenie or Alex.

"Hey Jim, I'm so glad you're here, what went down in Arkham?"

"Oh don't worry about it, sweet cheeks"

"Jim are you okay?"

"He's sick." Harvey tells me.

Then Barbara, who apparently is now no longer in a coma but also out of Arkham, comes in.

"Hey, Alfred."

"Miss Kean."

"How's the butlering business going?", then she looks at me, "Hey there Rose."

"To what do we owe the-"

"Jimmy, my love. I'm sure you're ever so busy, but could we have a word in private?"

"You bet." Okay something is definitely up. I walk to where he was with Barbara.

"Jim do remember what you gave me the day you left for the Police Academy and I went to college."

"Well it's been so long-"

"The bracelet, remember."

"Right the bracelet."

"Jim never gave me bracelet. You're not Jim!" Barbara eyes widen.

"Oh, hold on there woman." I slap him across the face, hard.

"Holy mother of saints!" Harvey yelled. When fake Jim turned back to us the part of his face was deformed. It was like his skin was made out of clay.

So the whole force is on their way to Arkham. I decided that I'd go too, not wanting to feel useless. I actually sneaked it, since I was really allowed. Apparently there was a bomb that was going off, so this was a very stupid idea, but what the hell if my sisters die here I won't have anything else to live for. I raced through the Asylum trying to find where they were exactly. Then I heard a familiar voice.

"What's going on?! Hello!" 

I walk towards the sound.

"Edward?" He was in a cell with an inmates uniform.

"Rosabelle?"

"How long have you been in Arkham?!"

"A while, what Jim didn't tell you?"

"No, my long lost twin told me you ditched town. And I'm insecure enough to believe it. I'd ask why and how, but I don't really care. I'm so happy to see you."

"Wait, you thought I left you?"

"Yeah. I was actually pretty heartbroken."

"I'd never leave you.", we share a kiss through the bars of the cell, "Do you mind getting me out of here."

"The whole GCPD is right outside, we'd never get passed the door."
