~Kane~

A dark deserted road lead to the only colorful building near by. The place happened to look broken down but had a light purple roof to it. The lair was a gathering place for Joker's henchmen, and Kane's new home. He had a nice suite in the basement of the building. Tired from dealing with his stubborn friend, the Batman, and his boss' commands, a bloody Kane was passed out on his couch. A toasted fire warmed up the room, a perk the other henchmen did not have. Times have become colder as Gotham approached winter. His green greased up hair was rattled, messed up for he had been taking a nap.

Loud steps approached as Kane rolled to his side. Kane slept with a knife in hand, which made it all the more terrifying for the goons to approach. The idiots better not dare to wake-

"Boss..." A hand dared to touch his shoulder. Not even a second later his knife went straight through the goon that dared to touch his hand. 

"This better be good." I chuckled, as my eyes opened with a glare. 

"Boss, that Riddles girl you had us huntin' she is on the television."

Bored, I act uninterested. "The Wayne Ball I presume-" I knew she would be there, trying to get herself killed. I re-close my eyes, trying not to focus too much on the idiotic goon. "So? I don't really give a fuck about the nerds death, less work for us. Move along." I play it off cool, but in reality I could not watch her death. After years of following her, working along side of her, and even being her guardian for a few weeks it would be too painful. I am not sane. Yet, a part of me wanted to sneak into the event tonight, and spy on her. Old habits die hard I guess. I knew Enigma long enough to know that she was not thinking straight. Her plan would get her killed. Too bad if I even hinted at showing up she would be looking for me though.

"But sir it looks like she took on a Wayne Event head on, and alone." The goon said, sounding quite shocked. Enigma was smart, I knew she would find a way in, out was the hard part. Batman would be there in seconds if no one else got to her first.

"So?" I groan, wanting to go back to sleep. I roll on my other side, curling up to my knife like a teddy bear.

"It's hilarious." Marked goon number 2.

"She called out the Riddler."

No response, besides me gripping my knife tighter. Really? Only takes her to be obsessed about a Robin for her to actually leave that man.

"And she has the whole situation under control."

"I think she's an idiot" A second goon interrupted him. "Trying to take on a Wayne event on her own. Those are heavily guarded by Bats."

My knife finds its way into this goon's chest by the time I open my eyes. "Why? wHY!?" I feel rage, my temper shortening. "Why do you think she's an idiot? Because she's actually doing something fun on a Friday night besides BOTHERING THEIR LEADER!" I skin his skin from his neck, ripping it open in such a manor the other two goons backed away.

"Why aren't any of you searching for our other problem?" I glare, hoping to change the topic. A new rouge has been sabotaging our projects, killing our men. He has been making the Joker really unhappy. We should be focused in the Red guy, rather then Baby Riddles.

The goon must have not heard my question, too focused in the excitement going on in the present. "I think what he was trying to say Sir. With all due respect. The Enigma is asking for the Batman and all the heroes to come in to stop her. She's just killing off people til they come. She told them the only way she would stop if Bats took her to Arkham"

"and?"I groan, stepping off the couch to turn on the tv. It became obvious that the goons would not shut up until I either killed them or took a peak about what was going on with Em. 

As the news flashes on the goon provides insight, "It's been an hour and a half and the Batman is a no show." 

I ignore him, keeping my focus on the screen. Of course Enigma stood in the front in center but- but her hostages..."Wait let me watch, rewind." E! That girl is a genius. She may be front and center but she is sharing the spotlight. She has Bruce, little Dicky Bird, and what I can assume is the new Robin, front in center. The camera and spotlights were focused on each of them. 

Batman can not show up unless Bruce reveals himself, along with all the others. I grin, laughing more and more. Baby Riddles may be insane and have a death wish but that girl, she was something. I could see how much Bruce hated her, hated this. He was helpless to watching everyone in that room suffer. She even had the balls to taunt him to his face. I could see it, my Enigma, the one before Richie messed her up. I jump giddily at the T.V. My new favorite show. "Oh my baby riddles, always so smart. All the attention is on our two favorites... letting them take the fall... "I break out into laughter shooting the goon who interrupted me of my nap. I turn to the last one, who is utterly terrified. "Get me a pepsi and my machete. We are going to that Party, we are going to help my little E escape."
