Riddle Me Love... The Riddler x Superhero! Reader

Chapter 1- The Strange Encounter

You, (Y/n), were walking around Gotham City that afternoon after a long night of protecting your home town. Your parents, (M/o/m/n) and (F/n) had told you that the both of them were going to be living in Egypt while they were going on an archaeological dig. You were used to this of course, your only problem was that you had many problems with being left alone in the house. You have many fears, including being left alone by yourself after dark. A fear of the dark you might say, or really, a fear of what may be hiding in the dark. Both you and Bruce kept going back and forth about you staying with him, his adopted brother, Dick Grayson, and his three adopted sons at Wayne Manor. Bruce Wayne had been a family friend since both you and Bruce had gone to school together.

'I'm almost there... Just a few more blocks.' You turn at the corner. 'Wait, this isn't right... Where am I? How did I get here?' You pondered. "Let's see, I turned right, then right, then left, then right, then... Wait, no, I turned left... ARRRGH!" The twenty-six-year-old yelled. "I can't believe I'm lost, this is why Mom and Dad should have let me get a driver's license years ago. And because of my procrastinating butt, I still don't have one." You slump to the ground in the alleyway you had entered, then glared menacingly at the dumpster across from you, daring a thug or gang member to jump out at your person.

"What's a pretty little lady like you doing out here all by her self?" A deep voice asked at the entrance to the alley. You glanced up, unamused, at the black-haired stranger standing in the alley.

"Why do you want to know? Hey, I'll tell you a riddle, if you answer correctly, then I'll answer your question. Deal?" You replied slyly. You always loved a good mind-turnrer.

"Sure, considering I'm the prince of puzzles, the king of riddles, the-" You cut him off.

"You can flaunt your ego later," You snapped. "Now for the riddle: Who do we trust, even though we don't know them?Who passes unnoticed wherever they go? Who hunts in the middle of a crowd?" you riddled the awfully handsome man.

The man stared at you, confused. "Could you say that again, please?" He requested.

"Who do we trust, even though we don't know them? Who passes unnoticed wherever they go? Who hunts in the middle of a crowd?" You repeated, slowly.

Mystery man smiled. "A cop, of course."

"No, silly. It's a cabbie." You corrected.

Mystery man's smirk faded away. Then, he started mumbling about how he never lost before and how he had lost to a little kid.

"I'll have you know, I am twenty-six years old! The answer to you're question is that... Well... I'm lost."

"Where are you headed?" He asked, quite curious about the sassy, beautiful woman that manages to stump his intellect.

"Wayne Manor." You mumbled out sheepishly.

The mysterious male smirked playfully at you. "In that case, when you walk out, turn left and head straight for about five blocks, then turn right and it will be in front of you."

"Thank you so much! I never caught your name though..." You replied.

"Oh, where have my manners gone? The name's Edward Nygma." The man said.

"My name is (Y/n) (L/n). It is nice to have run into you, otherwise I might have ended up walking right out of town!" You exaggerated.

"Well, I suppose I should let you be on your way, miss (Y/n). Stay safe, you never know what crazies may be out there." Edward smiled.

"I will, thanks again!" You said as you ran off toward the direction Edward Nygma pointed you towards.

Unbeknownst to you, Edward felt a strange fluttering in his stomach, almost like butterflies, yet very pleasant... Hmm...
