I was frozen in my seat. I could only stare ahead. I could only see the face in front of me. The confused and curious face in front of me. I heard movement next to me. I somehow managed to look away and saw Gerard trying to get out of the car. "NO." I yelled grabbing onto one of his arms and tugging on it. I noticed that Ray was just staring ahead with this broken look on his face.
"I have to get to him!" Gerard yelled trying to break free of my grip.
"He's a Bat now, there's nothing you can do!" I yelled. I suddenly felt bad for what I had just said, but a part of me too wanted to just get out of the car and grab Mikey and take him with us. But a part of me was telling me that nothing we could do would bring him back. He was as good as dead now. Dead like we always thought he was. Because the person standing in front of this car was not Mikey or Kobra Kid. It was just another Bat. I could feel something wet start to fall down my face as the truth surrounded me.
Gerard was still now, but I still gripped his arm. I turned my head to look for Mikey but he wasn't there. I started to panic. Where did he go?!
"Frankie you're hurting me." Gerard whined.
I suddenly realised that I was still gripping his arm and I let it go. "Where'd he go?" I whispered. He was gone. How had he just slipped through our fingers again? I turned to see how Ray was going in the back. He wasn't there. Fuck. While I was dealing with Gerard he must have gotten out and gone after him. Maybe that's why Mikey disappeared. I started to get out of the car to go after Ray and Mikey. "Ray's gone." I said quickly to Gerard. I started to run to where Mikey had been standing before and turned around trying to see where they could have gone. I heard a noise to my right and I instantly ran in that direction, I could hear Gerard following behind me. I saw Ray standing there with his hands on Mikey's shoulders, he hesitated for a second and then kissed him. Mikey just stood there for a second and then pushed him away. He had some kind of device out in seconds and was talking into it. He was calling Scarecrows. I ran forward and grabbed one of Mikey's arms, he dropped the device in shock and tried to shake me off a bit, but I grabbed his other arm firmly and I now had both of his arms securely behind his back. I started to drag him back towards the car.
"HELP!" He yelled, trying break free of my grasp.
"Michael James Way, you shut up right now or I'm gonna have to knock you out." I threatened. He stopped for a moment and looked confused. I realised that he must not even know his own name anymore. I looked back and saw Gerard and Ray walking behind us. We made it back to the car just as a Scarecrow van started coming around the corner. That was fast. Gerard ran past me and Mikes, dragging Ray along with him, they got in the car and Gerard started it up.
"C'mon." He yelled at me, gesturing for me to hurry up. Mikey was still resisting and it made it harder to get to the car fast enough. I half picked Mikey up and dumped him into the back with Ray. Gerard started to back up and I jumped in shotgun. As soon as I was in he spun around and drove the other way from the Scarecrow van that was fast approaching. Our second chase in two days. I leaned out the window and fired a few shots. I missed the first couple of times and the last one went through their window. I don't know if it did anything or not, but then Gee turned a corner and they were out of sight. Mikey looked like he was having a breakdown in the back, I guess this was the most extreme situation any Bat had had to deal with. My relief at him being alive and getting him back was short lived when Gerard spoke up.
"He's never going to be the same y'know. He obviously doesn't remember any of us and it's going to be a long time before he is even remotely close to how he was before. We should have just left him there."
"No, we need to try to bring him back. For him. Mikey is still in there somewhere." I said to Gerard.
He said nothing and just drove on, occasionally looking at his brother in the rear view mirror.

Notes

There you go. Now no one needs to find me and yes Mikey is back. Sort of. I feel evil.
