Wild ||Edward Nygma|| [2]

Chapter Fourteen || For love

"When I said I'd take a bullet for you, I didn't intend for you to be the one to pull the trigger."

When Charlotte, Oswald, and his two henchmen were on their way to save Ed, something strange happened. A big explosion went off on the power plant across the river. It caused all the lights on the city to go out. From then on the lights from the cars were the only source of illumination in the night.

The two henchmen kept wondering what had happened and invented theories as if that was more important than saving Ed.

"Remember, Ed's safety is all that matters. Whoever took him will pay, but only once Ed is back," Oswald remind them as they walked into Kane Chemicals. Inside they found many tanks full of acid, but no Ed.

They walked farther into the building and Oswald decided to call for him. "Ed! Edward!"

"Ed!" Charlotte tried too after they got no response.

Footsteps were heard coming from the other end of the room and Ed finally came into their line of vision. He looked good and unharmed, much to Charlotte and Oswald's relief. He was wearing his usual attire, a dark green coat, and an emerald green suit underneath.

Oswald gasped and limped quickly towards Ed, wrapping his arms around him. "Ed. Are you all right? Tell me you are all right".

"I'm fine, Oswald," Ed answered, not hugging Oswald back and keeping his hands in his pockets.

Oswald laughed as he let go of him. "Of course you are. Where are they? Who dared to think they could lay their hands on you?"

Charlotte had missed him too and also walked up to Ed to give him a hug. Once again he didn't make a move to hug back. "I'm so glad you're okay".

Ed smiled a tight lip smile at her before turning to Oswald. "I'm alone".

Oswald laughed again. "Oh, you escaped. You did, didn't you, you rascal?"

Ed smiled and looked over at the other two men behind Charlotte and Oswald. "Did you bring anyone else?"

They were confused by that question. "What? Why?" Oswald asked but then ended up answering his own question. "No".

Suddenly, Ed held up a gun and fired two gunshots at the henchmen. The bullets went past Oswald and Charlotte's heads and they stared wide-eyed at him. "Just wondering if I was gonna have to reload". Then he pointed his gun at them.

"Ed!" Charlotte exclaimed in shock.

"I don't understand," Oswald gasped.

Their confused expressions made him smile. "I know. That's been half the fun".

The cogs in Charlotte's brain started spinning wildly as she wondered what was happening and why Ed was acting that way. Had he even been kidnapped in the first place? Had Barbara and Ed partnered up to get them?
