The Riddler's Daughter

bEtrayal

~Kane's POV~

Boy did it make me laugh to see the bird run out. It was so fast, he was flying. HA! Get it, the bird brain flying. I knew what the text on his phone said. How? I was the one that sent it, duh! Doesn't take a genius like the Riddler to figure that out.

Luckily, to hide my presence I was able to tame my laughter until after Richie left. Then, I just couldn't hold back anymore. It was always amusing watching someone you hate race towards death.

Of course my laughed caught the attention of E. Startled, she turned around to face me. "Surprise dearie." I laugh, leaning against the wall. The shadow still hid my wicked smile. I couldn't stop grinning, but who could blame me. I was getting everything I wanted. "And by the way, the cape looked cute on you." I tease her, hoping it would lighten E up a little. A hard slap to the face sends me backwards.

"Why the hell didn't you tell me my father's plan! You knew how he would use me and I don't even get a fucking warning." She was pissed with full right to be. It wasn't like I didn't want to warn her. Instead of telling her I was sorry, I did what any rational guy would do in my situation, which was pretend to be all too amused with her anger.

She didn't understand. I truly was concern for her well being. I don't really know why I felt concern but ever since Enigma checked out of the hospital I kept an eye on her. She should never have went back to Jason. He wasn't good for her.

Too stubborn to explain what I wanted to, my words came out in an insulted tone. "Please you would have done the same to get what you wanted."

Emily huffed in annoyance, she knew I was right. If she had a shot to impress her dad by drugging me and selling myself out to the enemy. She'd do it in a heart beat. "It doesn't matter." Enigma snarled. What did she care? It wasn't like she was hurt by it. E still pretended to loved the boy wonder, as if he wasn't foolish.

Their relationship pissed me off. Not that I liked her or anything. It was just the fact she thought everyone else was stupid, everyone else was a dumbass, except Jason. After years of us training together, on the same side might I add, she only thought of me as just some clown or petty villain. Ready for some twisted logic? Explain to me how Wayne puts her on her death bed and the moment she's breathing again she goes back to him. I save her from dying and don't even get a thank you. Not that I was jealous, just a thank you Kane for not letting me die in jail would be nice.

"Of course it doesn't." I spoke smugly, rolling my eyes. My pride was attacking the plan, I had to let what I know slip out. I was dying too just shut her up. My lips creased into a Cheshire like grin that scared Emily slightly. "Only because your Richie won't be around flying much longer."

Her expression dropped as she turned to me, her heart must have stopped.

"Kane. What are you saying." Emily spoke unsure, however, I had a feeling she had a clue what I meant. Her voice was on edge to what I had to say.

I laugh, not admitting that I was mistaken in giving away what I knew. I crossed my arms. "Y'a smart girlie, now tell me Miss E! What do you think I'm sayin?'" Without realizing it my voice shifted to mock her, it was the fake tone I used as a criminal. Enigma could tell it meant danger and went still. She knew what I said was serious by the darkness in my voice. At once it clicked, her eyes widen in shock. In a second Enigma had me pinned up against the wall. Next thing I know; a gun was pushed against the temple of my head. She was a smart one, quick on her feet. In anger she had over took me. I spit out more to taunt her. I knew I should have shut up by then but it was far to late. She had me riled up. "That's right, ya birdie is neva gonna fly again." I made a gun motion before shooting at the air. "Ch-Ch-Pop!" Her emerald eyes, which sometimes appear friendly held nothing more then a death glare as they met mine. She was furious. Maybe I could lighten her mode with a joke, "Knock knock, whose there? not Birdie Boy, that's who." I chuckle, mocking his soon to be death in her face.
