DC Comics Imagines

The Riddler x Reader

Dedicated to SlytherinGirl21.

    Y/N'S POV

  I was currently being held against my will inside The Joker's clubhouse. I was really hoping someone could have saved me by now, even if it turned out to be my best friend, The Riddler. Yes, Edward Nygma. He had been my best friend since childhood, but I...I loved him. I doubt he knew that I loved him, though, given his constant fixation with Batman.
  Speaking of Batman, I could really use his help right now. Somehow, I ended up in Joker's hands, which meant I was not going to be alive for too much longer.

  Joker held up my chin and chuckled deeply saying,"My dear, what do you see in Nygma? Is it his awful jokes or confusing puzzles? I could never figure out those things."

  I managed to let out a giggle, which made Joker give me a look. I know no one said this, but Joker was not as bad as he always appeared to be. Sure, he had his moments, but I could tell he was not all about trying to bring everybody down. Under all the madness and crazed possessions, I could see a man who suffered greatly.
  I hesitated but figured I might as well try to start a conversation with him. What was crazy was the fact that I thought Joker was actually trying to talk to me. No, he was just using me as a distraction to get my grandfather's opinion, Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman.

  Joker grabbed my face, and I winced in pain. He squeezed it so tightly that I let out tears I did not even know where there.

  He laughed saying,"Oh, darling, you really thought I was interested in having a conversation with you? Please, Mr. J has more business to attend to!!"

  Joker continued to walk around my chair, and I began to get a bad feeling on the inside.

  He called in one of the henchmen and said,"Hey, do you think Y/N would make a great trophy for Batsy's attention?"

  I gulped and played with the chains around my wrists. Joker noticed and made them tighter. I saw the blood begin to pour out of my wrists, and I bit my lip in pain. I closed my eyes and hoped someone would come and save me, before I died in Joker's hands.
  I had heard from grandfather of all the damage Joker had caused to our family, and it sounded far from pretty. Jason's was the worst of what I heard, but everyone had their own opinions about who had it worst.

  Joker pointed a gun at my head and yelled,"What is taking him so long?!! WHO DO I NEED TO KILL IN ORDER TO GET SOME RESPECT AROUND HERE!!"

  As the gun got closer to my face, I closed my eyes and prepared for my last moments. However, I never heard a shot go off. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Joker had backed away from me.
 
  I was so confused yet grateful for God watching over me.

  Joker sighed and said,"What is the point? Boys, keep her occupied."

  I was really surprised with Joker, but I guess he had more fun with Batman around. I let out a sigh of relief and realized the henchmen started to circle around me.
  I groaned and had no way out of this chair. One of the henchmen turned around, and I noticed something green, almost like a box on the ground.

  Nygma...

  A smile immediately formed on my face, before I said,"Why don't you guys see what that is? It could be worth some money. You wouldn't want Joker to get to that first, would you?"

  The henchmen looked at each other and shrugged, before they all headed over there.

  One touched it and asked,"Hey, what's that noise?"

  I held in a giggle and in a matter of seconds, they all were thrown back to separate walls. I felt hands on my waist and went to scream, but a gentle hand covered my mouth. I looked up and saw Edward Nygma.

  He quickly undid my chains, before I hugged him.

  He hugged back and let go saying,"Let's get you out of here. C'mon!"

  Edward took my hand and led me back to his lair, before he tended to my wrists and wounds on my face. He gently dabbed my chin, and I flinched away in pain.

  Edward quickly apologized, but he cupped my face saying,"You know I would never wish to harm you on purpose, right?"

  I nodded, sending him my best smile. Nygma quickly went back over to controlling his operations. I jumped down from the bed and walked over to his side.

  "Hey, Nygma?"

  He hmmed in response, before he turned around and I knew I had his full attention.

  Then, I asked him,"Why did you save me?"

  Edward played around with the controls, and I gently stopped his hands from moving.

  Edward rested his hands on my face and stroked my cheek slowly saying,"Because I...I love you."

  I smiled so big, before I crashed my lips into his. Edward was confused, but he gladly kissed back. I giggled and brought him closer, before he just held me tighter.

  I almost fell, but Edward caught me and smiled down at me saying,"Do not worry, I will always have your back. I promise."

DC Comics really needs their own channel full of past shows and movies. I hope that happens one day. It's so hard to find classic DC Comics shows and movies that aren't expensive.
