Truthfully I've heard of  Mr. Nigma. I've always favored him as a super villain because he shows that brains beats brawn. As I finished reading his file I heard a knock on my door and allowed the person to enter. The guard stuck his head inside my office and asked me if he can let The Riddler in. I said yes of course and he in a way threw Riddler inside. I gave him a death glare and went to Riddler's side and helped him up on the chair. 

''If he bothers you, I'll be right outside Miss Darwin.'' the guard said. But I gave him no reply, seeing that he treated Mr. Nigma with such disrespect. 

My attention directed to the man in front of me. His eyes were a gorgeous blue color that reminded me of a completely clean ocean. His brown was shaggy and flat and he had bags under his eyes. He looked tired and warn out.

I smiled and introduced myself. ''Hello Mr. Nigma. My name is Dr. Angie Darwin. Please excuse my guard outside, he can be an emotional mess when he's lacking female attention. But who would wanna be with a fool like that?'' I said in a jokingly tone.

I can see Nigma smile slightly ''You're not like many doctors here, are you Miss Darwin?'' 

''Mr. Nigma, I can assure you I am nothing like these people here. I've read your file and I've actually studied you about a year ago because you really peaked my interest. I find it amazing how  truely intellegent you are. I'm not going to sit here and B.S with you. I know you might have heard this before, but I'm here as a friend, not a doctor. As you can see my tape recorder is off and what is said between us is confidential between just you and I.''

As I finished speaking I can see his expression lighten up. ''Miss. Darwin, I'm glad to finally meet a doctor who treats me like a human being instead of a emotionless animal.''

''Okay Mr. Nigma, although I am suppose to ask you about your past I would much rather let you choose what to speak about.'' 

''Really?'' He stared at me in shock. ''How about some riddles? You answer them correctly, and I might be able to open up to you.''

"Okay Mr. Nigma--'' ''Please, Miss Darwin, call me Edward.''

I softly smiled at how fast my progress with him has become. 

He cleared his throat and proclaimed "Riddle me this! If you know me, you want to share me. But if you share me, I'll be gone. What am I?''

''A secret.''

''Correct Miss Darwin! I'm glad you got that one. But lets see if you can get these''

We passed by another 30 minutes of him telling me riddles and me answering them all before our session was over.

''Well Edward, it seems time is not on our side today. I'm afriad I have to let the guards take you away to your cell.'' I stated as a frown took over his face. 

I whispered ''Stay out of trouble sweetie!'' and winked at him before a guard entered to take him away. 

One session down, three more to go.
