No One's POV

It was late at night and Bruce stood on top of one of Gotham's tallest buildings as he was suited up. He brought his right wrist up for a small screen to appear to show Alfred on the screen, "Lovely night master Bruce." "Alfred it's been quiet recently, too quiet." "Well there was a woman who called the police as she had a noise complaint. And she described the woman she saw leave as Harley. I would suggest looking into that sir. Harley may be up to something." "I'm on it Alfred." Bruce was quick to make it to the address Alfred gave him to reach the room. He opened the door to see the entire place a mess. 

Batman walked to the middle of the room to turn on his scanner, 'I am going to have to scan around the room to find out what happened.' He began to scan some of Harley's footsteps and fingerprints around the apartment to find enough to recreate what happened, '(Y/N) was already here and on the computer. Two people then came in, but he was never alerted. The two managed to grab him, but (Y/N) still managed to cut the one on the right's cheek and throw something while struggling. They knocked him out and carried him out of the apartment. Moments later Harley came home to find the place already a mess. She began to look for clues to find out what happened. She checked the computer, the couch, but then seemed to find a USB drive. She put it into the computer to then run back out.' He then walked to the computer to turn to see a blinking dot along with pictures of the Riddler near the building.

He talked to Alfred once again, "Alfred I'm sending you something." "Is this tracking someone sir?" "Yes, (Y/N) was kidnapped. And I'm sure that the Riddler took him." "That's not good sir. You know how Riddler makes his puzzles." "Don't worry. (Y/N) is smart enough to survive until I get there. I'm going to head there now." "Please do be careful sir." Batman then accessed nearby cameras to spot Harley and the path she took.

10 Minutes Later

Batman glided through the air to land at the where (Y/N) seemed to be as he was now at an abandoned school. Batman entered for a screen to come on with Enigma on it, "Hello Batman! I knew you'd show. You just can't let Shadow die can you! He is a villain and a cheat and he deserves to die! So if you wish to not join him, then leave." The screen went off for Bruce to walk through the next door to see Harley moving some blocks with light coming from the top of them. Harley noticed Bruce, "Oh good. What do you want bats?!" "I'm here to help." "Yeah sure, as soon as you save him your just gonna throw us in jail." "Correct, but it's better then death." Harley let out a sigh as she stopped pushing, "Well it doesn't matter. Because I have been moving these blocks for a while and nothing is happening!" Batman looked up, "There are patterns." "What?" She then looked up to see that the green glow from each block created a pattern on the ceiling, "You gotta be fucking kidding me." 

Further into the building saws filled a classroom as (Y/N) moved a panel in the ceiling and jumped into the next room. A small T.V. turned on, "No! No! NO! You were suppose to die! How dare you live! Well it doesn't matter anyways. Because you are going to fail this next test. And then you will die." The doors then opened, "To the gymnasium." (Y/N) followed the path to walk into the gymnasium for the lights to turn on showing a firefighter and a police officer tied up in the middle. Riddler got on the intercoms, "In the middle we have two volunteers. They both have a phone that you will need to use to be able to stop the fire and electric shock surrounding you. And on cue those things began to surround the room as they got closer. (Y/N) quickly went to the firefighter to grab his phone and began to hack into Riddler's coding that he made available. 

The electricity stopped for the fire to continue. As (Y/N) went to get the other phone the floor under police woman moved up for the rest of the floor to begin randomly moving in the air. (Y/N) kept his balance, "When the hell did he have the time for this." Riddle could be heard again, "As you can see my intelligence is far more superior than your miserable ape brain. Because of you two innocents get to die along side you. Now just sit back and di-" The fire then stopped, "What?! How did you do that?! The patterns that the floor moved around was impossible for you to cross. You cheated I know you did! You had too." (Y/N) untied the two hostages as the floor returned to normal for the traps to turn back on, " You know what, I've changed my mind. Cheaters don't get to pass. So-" The traps stopped for (Y/N) to look at a camera, "Your pretty dumb Enigma!" "What?!" "You let me into your mainframe when you gave me access to those phones. I now have access over them." "But that's impossible. I made the firewall myself! I typed the coding in myself! I am better than you! Hey what are you-" A loud clank was then heard for Harley's voice to come on, "(Y/N) thank god your okay. Come to the entrance."

(Y/N) came to the entrance with the firefighter and police woman as Riddler was cuffed by Batman. The police soon arrived for a cop to come and cuff Harley and (Y/N), but Batman stopped him, "They will comply." The two hostages were checked to see if they were okay for Gordon to light a cigarette as he walked next to Bruce, "Three villains in one night. At least they're off the streets." He looked to his left to see that Batman already vanished, "It's always annoying." At the precinct Riddler was placed in high security as Harley and (Y/N) were put in cells next to each other. The two stood against the wall where their two cells met so that they could talk easier. 

In the middle of their conversation Harley played with her hands a little, "Hey (Y/N)." "What's up Harley?" "In one of the puzzles I had to do with the bat there were these blocks that created patterns." "Yeah." And we had to match them with their partner and it all seemed to be about you." "Uh-huh." "Like knife went with a mother. Or a mask went with a computer." "Yep." "And Enigma knows a lot about people." "That is correct." "Why was one of the matches a heart and a female clown?" (Y/N) went silent for a few seconds, "I like clowns." Harley hung her head a little, "That's it?" "No." He then reached his hand around the wall to grab Harley's hand, "I like the clown I live with." Harley held his hand back as she smiled for Cash to be at the front desk watching as the cop next to him cried a little. Cash turned to him, "Are you crying?" The man wiped a tear, "I can't help it. I love romances."
