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

Chapter 5- Framed! part one

'What has happened to me?"

###

You had done the only thing any sensible woman would do, you ran.

You looked around, only now noticing that you were sitting on the dirty ground in an abandoned alleyway and continued to try to catch your breath.

Once you had air in your lungs again, you checked your phone, hoping that Bruce hasn't been notified of your actions.

First message: hey honey, we are actually going to live in Egypt after all. Since you are old enough to live by your self, we are giving you the house. We love you. Mom and Dad.

P.S. We will still definitely come home for the holidays!

This message actually surprised you, but you knew your parents loved Egypt a lot. Its no surprise that they decided to stay.

Second message: hey girl! Hope you're doing great, I'm on my way back tonight. See you soon. Love, (b/f/n).

Well, that was something to look forward to. (b/f/n) lived in your house with you and your parents anyway, so that would be great! Now it would be just you and her/him/them.

You finally got back home, and collapsed on the couch, and relaxed. You were out of the deep end. Or so you thought.

The phone began ringing, and you answered.

"Heyo?" You said into the receiver cautiously.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" Bruce roared into the phone. He was pissed, and you knew it.

"Bruce, what's wrong?" You knew that this couldn't possibly be because of your escapade.

"The mayor was killed... And they're... They're blaming you. Witnesses reported that you lifted a CAR with powers. The mayor was found with his neck broken, but no fingerprints or bruising. You are apparently the only person with telekinesis in Gotham City." Bruce started off strong, and ended almost in tears.

"Oh my god..." You whispered almost to yourself.

"Comissioner Gordon is on his way to take you to Arkham City. He knows you didn't do it, but he has to take someone. That bomb must have given you powers, I'd have to run tests to see what compounds were used in it." Bruce broke the news to you as gently as he could.

"Oh god..." You whispered, horrified at what has come to pass. You thanked your friend and hung up. Next, you texted (B/f/n) to let her/him/them know that you would be out of town for an unknown amount of time.

Bam bam bam.

Your time had come.

You opened the door hesitantly, not wanting to leave yet. Commissioner Gordon's tired face greeted you at the door. "I know this must be a lot to handle right now, but with you in Arkham City, you could send intel to (S/h/n), seeing as the two of you know each other. You could help catch the true culprit, so please don't fight me on this."

You sighed, resigned to doing your job as a hero. "Alright, I'll see what I can do to get this over with as fast as I can. Can you make sure that my name doesn't get into the news? I don't want to tarnish my reputation."

"Yes, we can do that. If you would follow me please..."

With that, you took one last look around your home, knowing you wouldn't see it for a long time. (B/f/n) would take good care of it, you knew that.
