"From riddles on napkins to kisses on the cheek, my-my Edward how far you've come." Alice Morelle wasn't the brightest flower in the bunch, that being the sole reason she had decided against returning to the University that was supposed to give her a job at the GCPD, she got close, though, working at the cafè next door. Although one particular customer with an odd habit that leads to a daily competition could be just the thing she needs to get back on track to becoming the scientist her parents had brought her up to be. All DC characters and concepts are out of my ownership but Alice and Kat are very much my own along with this story's plotline. Please enjoy and don't forget to comment along the way.

Matilda Harper's psychiatrist suggests she tries having a normal work life, after her psychotic break down four years ago. Ready for the world again, Matilda decides to work at the GCPD, under Edward Nygma. As their work relationship blossoms, the voices in her head start to whisper a familiar tune that her and Edward know very well. Can Matilda get away from her tragic pass before her and the Riddler paint the town, blood red?
