You hate being the wife of Bruce Wayne. 

No, for real, despite being rich, you can't do anything with the money. 

Bruce chooses the clothes, accessories, you even have to take permission on what you wish to buy online.

You feel like you are the child of Bruce Wayne, not his wife.

In fact he doesn't treat his children with such overprotectiveness.

But today, Bruce decided to be generous and take you out.

Not on a dinner date, no, but to an auction.

It was his way of making it up for the lost days spent in the manor.

However, there was nothing interesting to buy, just some old jewelry and ancient artificials. 

Yet, your husband Bruce has his eyes on a certain jewelry to buy for you.

As the auctioneer called for the bids on the jewel Bruce had his eyes on, you noticed a man with dark hair and green suit in the crowd.

It was the Riddler.

His eyes met yours, and he winked. A shiver ran down your spine, not recognizing the man.

Well, there are other two men wearing suits in the crowd, so you are excused for not realizing who is the suspicious man.

Bruce, oblivious to your discomfort, raised his hand.

"Five million," he called out.

The Riddler chuckled, and you could feel his gaze on you.

"Six million," he shouted, bidding against Bruce.

For some reason, you feel like the man doesn't have money and is just bidding against your husband to win.

The bidding continued, each time Bruce outbidding the Riddler.

You could see the madman's amusement, but he wouldn't back down.

"Ten million," Bruce said.

The Riddler hesitated, and when he didn't respond, the auctioneer declared Bruce the winner.

Bruce turned to you, a proud smile on his face.

"I got it for you, my love."

Batman loves to flex his money for sure.

"Thanks, it's very kind of you, if you will excuse me, I will go to the bathroom"

Is it bad to admit that you only want some fresh air away from your husband?

"Do you want me to escort you?"

"No, it will be quick"

🦇🦇🦇

The man in the green suit waited for you outside the restroom but with a mask and a hat this time.

And when you walk out, he grabs you by the back of your neck and points a gun on your temple, before dragging you towards your husband.

"Bruce Wayne, a beautiful lady you have got as a wife despite her dark past"

Bruce's eyes widened in shock as he saw the Riddler's sudden appearance.

His hand instinctively reached for the hidden compartment in his wrist, where his batline was stored.

A look of concern crossed his face, but he didn't want to make any sudden movements that could endanger his wife.

Of course, some of the guests screamed and run away while others stayed to see what will happen.

"What do you want, Riddler?" Bruce demanded, his voice firm and controlled.

The Riddler smirked, enjoying the power he had over the situation.

"Ah, Bruce, I'm glad you asked. I want a game, a game for your lovely wife's freedom."

You trembled in the Riddler's grip, yoyr heart pounding in your chest, you glanced at Bruce, pleading with his eyes for him to find a way to save you.

Bruce's eyes flicked to you, and then back to the Riddler.

"Name your terms."

"Solve those ten riddles, each riddle time limit is ten seconds, if you solve it wrong, I take your wife"

"I accept," Bruce said, his voice firm and unwavering.

"Good, for the first riddle, I can weigh a lot and I'm easy to break. What am I called?"

Before Bruce could answer, you do.

"A vase"

The Riddler sneers in anger.

"Shut up, darling, your husband is the only one allowed to answer"

You roll your eyes as the Riddler throws in another riddle.

Again, you are the one to answer.

"I can run without using my feet. What am I called?"

"A river, please give a harder riddle, this is easy" you taunt him.

Forgetting all about your husband, the riddler turns his attention towards you.

"I am not alive, but I grow; I don’t have lungs, but I need air; I don’t have a mouth, and I can drown. What am I?"

"Fire"

"I’m light as a feather, yet the strongest man can’t hold me for much longer. What am I?"

"Your breath"

"What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?"

"The letter 'M'"

"Let go of my wife"

Unfortunately for the Riddler, Bruce points his gun at the back of his head while he engulfed in giving you hard Riddles.

You look up at the Riddler with a smile.

"Your Riddles are as lame as your pathetic attempts at criminality, Riddler."

At that Bruce does something unexpected, he shoots the Riddler in his head, kill him.

Batman just broke his moral code of not killing villains.

Only for your sake.
