An Unforgotten Love: A Nygmobblepot Fanfic

Chapter 6: Captured

"Penguin? Penguin wake up!" The voice of Robin filled Oswald's head as he slowly opened his eyes. His vision was still very blurry and his head hurt. He sat up, and actually hit his skull against someone else.

"Ow! Watch it!" The person hissed. Edward. Oswald rubbed his head before blinking a few times and clearing up his vision.

He was in the back of a car, beside him was Ed and beside Ed was Cat. In front of him there was a small space for his legs, and a barrier blocked them from seeing the driver, though Oswald already had a hunch. There was a small gap in the barrier ahead of them that had bars, probably to make sure they didn't strangle Batman or Robin.

"Shouldn't we be in a police car?" Oswald asked, confused. Because this was definitely not the inside of a police car.

"Workers are repairing Arkham due to Joker's last break out which left half of the building destroyed." Batman replied.

"Of course he did..." Oswald rolled his eyes. "So where are you taking us?"

"To the jail in the Batcave." Robin replied.

"Great." Oswald sighed in annoyance. He looked down his hands and saw that they were bandaged up with a gauze bandage.

There was silence for a second before Robin spoke slowly.

"Say, Penguin, you really care for Riddler, don't you?" He smirked and peeked at them through the bars.

"W-What!?"Oswald and Ed said in unison. Oswald's face even went a little red. They then both started saying things in their defense.

"No, I hate him!" Oswald snapped.

"I hate him, too!"

"Yeah, whatever. I'm just saying, Penguin, if you hate him so much, then why'd you jump from a 50 foot ledge onto thick ice, almost break your leg and almost drown, to save him?" Robin gave Penguin a mischievous look.

Oswald opened his mouth to reply, but this time he was speechless. He looked away and stared out the window.

Ed stared at Oswald. Oswald had saved him? Or at least jumped in after him? Oswald could've just left Edward to drown and save himself.

But he didn't.

~~~

After the three villains had been knocked out, and put in cells they were awoken yet again.

Oswald opened his eyes lazily and shook his head.

"Really? You could've just blindfolded me..." He mumbled and looked around. Which is when he noticed one tiny detail.

He was in the same cell as Ed.

Oswald stared at Ed in fury and got up, waddling over to the bars and clutching them in his hands until his knuckles went white.

"You put me. In the same cell. As. ED?!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, even though he could see nothing around him except for the cave walls. He couldn't even see Cat.

Ed, meanwhile, was sitting on the ground, thinking.

Why did Oswald save him?

It was one question Ed couldn't figure out, and would probably bug him until he died. He went over the ideas: So Oswald could kill him, himself? Maybe... Or was it because Oswald was still hoping to be friends with Ed? Or maybe... Maybe Oswald still loved him? No. Of course not.

Robin was sitting in a chair a few feet away from them, reading a book and smirking.

"I didn't think it was that obvious." Robin chuckled.
