Y/N's POV

It's been one year since the Children of Arkham incident. Lot has happened since then, me and Barbara are no longer in college. And our relationship has been getting more serious, but due to my nights as Robin, I'm not around her as much as we both want to be. Sometimes Barbara would get upset, I want to tell her everything one day, but I don't know when. Me and Bruce are at the Gotham Casino, we are trying to capture a man.

Alfred: Rumi Mori. Import-export magnate. One-time Pipex CEO. International arms dealer. The world sees Mori as a legitimate businessman. A philanthropist who gives to charity, not a criminal getting rich off the suffering of innocents. A masterful performance. I wonder, if a man hides in plain sight for that long, does he forget who he really is? What do you think, Master Bruce and Master Y/N?

Bruce: I don't. I never forget what drives me. Protecting the innocent from people like Mori.

Y/N: That stays the same no matter what mask we wear.

Alfred: Don't I know...

Bruce: Masks are hard to maintain. If there are cracks in Mori's, we'll find them.

Alfred: The GCPD already bugged his penthouse and found nothing. Meaning that if he's doing arms deals in Gotham...

Y/N: They happen on the casino floor.

Bruce: We need to find a way to hear what Mori is saying.

Alfred: Standing by for support.

Bruce: I'm hacking into Mori's phone.

Alfred: Encrypting your signal. Last thing we want is for him to know you're here. We're in. You should be able to pick up audio from Mori's phone.

Mori: Is everyone enjoying themselves? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone with a badge.

Bruce: He's on a roll. It's only a matter of time before he gets too chatty.

Me and Bruce start walking.

Alfred: Try to blend in.

We walk to a table, we see a random woman walk over to us.

Woman: So I'm been sitting over there, wondering... What's Bruce Wayne and his kid doing in a place like this?

Bruce: We're looking for something different. New thrills.

Woman: Well, it's a good thing you're here. And it's a good thing-- I'm here.

Mori: You?

We look at Mori, we see a man in a green hoodie walking towards him.

Mori: What in the hell are you doing here?!

???: Stop me if you've heard this one before. I begin and have no end. And I end all that begins. Who am I?

Mori: I don't give a damn. I told you ten times, our arrangement is over.

???: Death, Mori. I am death.

Bruce: Something's happening, and it doesn't look like a deal.

Alfred: The man in the hood... I remember him from your father's time. I think that's Riddler.

Y/N: Riddler?

We see someone putting on a mask and getting a gun out.

Woman: Is-- something wrong? You seem distracted.

Y/N: Stay close and keep your head down.

Woman: Excuse me?

Bruce: Bullets are about to fly.

Woman: Okay...

Mori: No one threatens me in my own casino. Security!

Security: Sir, it's time to leave.

Riddler: For you... an easy one. What question can you never answer "yes" to?

Security: I don't give a crap. Let's go.

Riddler: Augh. Wrong.

Riddler turns around and aims his cane at the security guards neck.

Riddler: The correct answer is, "are you dead?"

Riddler then uses his cane to slice the guards throat. Mori starts running.

Riddler: Now. Let's get started.

He presses a button on his cane, causing the doors to lock, men started shooting guns in the air, making everyone freak out. Some of the men were taking hostages.

Alfred: Get out of there! Get your suits.

Me and Bruce quickly get out of there, Bruce grabbed the woman from before with us.
