Chapter 3

5 days later

Stevie's POV

"That's the last one." I say setting the last trophy.

"Good, you better hurry back there's a storm coming." My brother says through the com link in my ear.

"Ok, Thanks." I reply jumping off the roof running towards the hideout.

"Oh and try and stay out of trouble." I hear him say with a serious tone.

"No promises." I say causing Edward to sigh. As I'm running across the rooftops I think back on how I came to be here, it was only 5 days ago when I found Eddie here in Arkham City and found out that he's the Riddler. After seeing that he needed help putting his trophies around the super prison I decided to help him out and took on the role of his assistant and partner 'Mysteria'.

As I near the hideout I see a group of Penguins men standing outside the Iceberg lounge with various guns, bats and other weapons. Thinking of an idea but deciding against it I call Eddie.

"Hey, any chance you could get rid of the Brutes outside the Iceberg lounge for me?"

"How many are there?" I hear my brothers' voice in my ear ask

"About 8 or 10. They all have weapons."

"I'll get one of the boys in near there to distract them."

"Thank you big Bro." I say looking out of my spot waiting for one of the boys to show up. 5 mins later he shows up making up an excuse about their boss trapped in a display case. Seeing them run off I continued my journey to the hideout. Landing outside the fence I get an idea, giggling a little I say.

"Honey, I'm home." With the sweetest voice I could make while trying not to laugh.

"I have to stop you watching those romance movies for a while." Eddie groans turning off the electric fence.

"You can try." I say in a sing song voice as I enter the hideout and hug the hunched over question mark clad man, "But I can tell you won't succeed."

"Maybe, you never know I might succeed." He replies standing up straight and turning to look at me with a smirk plastered on his face," and besides don't forget who's older."

I try and come up with a witty comeback but end up with nothing so I just poke out my tongue and storm off leaving Edward chuckling at my antics. But before I leave a question pops into my head.

"Hey, Ed? Where did you get the excuse you told one of the boys to help me?" I ask turning around.

"Where did I get that excuse? Well take a look here and you'll find out." He says putting footage on one of monitors. I walk over and start cracking up at the footage, it shows a single display case in the museum and in that display case was the short fat man himself. Penguin.

"H-how did he g-get in there?" I manage to say in between l laughs.

"Batman." I hear Ed say with a smile looking at me. By the time my laughter dies down I'm lying on the floor curled up.

"Thank god, that midget's in there. I think he has a personal vendetta against me after stealing that diamond." I say as I stand up and look at said priceless jewel proudly displayed in the lair.

"Why did you steal that diamond again?" Eddie says standing next to me looking the jewel.

"Well Cobblepots' men were talking about it and I thought I would go and have a look to see how big it actually was, and I may have decided to annoy the midget by stealing it." I say with an innocent smile looking up at my brother earning another sigh for what seemed the one hundredth time that day.

"Of course you did."

"What? I like causing trouble for other inmates. Anyway enough about be, have you got any new riddles?" I ask.

"Indeed I do dear sister, want to hear one? I'm tall when I'm young and I'm short when I'm old. What am I?" Edward says in his Riddler voice. I think carefully and in no time at all I have the answer.

"The answer is a Candle."

"Correct. You definitely have a genius intellect like me, and therefore am proud of calling you my intellectual equal." He proudly announces placing his hat on my head causing me to giggle at how big his head is compared to mine as the hat slides over my eyes.

"Ok, I have one for you." I say lifting the hat so I could see.

"Shoot."

"You throw away the outside and cook the inside, then eat the outside and throw away the inside. What is it?"

"Corn on the cob, because you throw away the husk, cook and eat the kernels, and throw away the cob." Eddie says without hesitation.

"Correct." I say placing Eddies' hat on his head then hugging him again. There is a comfortable silence between us but it doesn't last long, a beeping surrounds the hideout causing us to break apart with me groaning as Ed goes to see what's going on with me following suit.

"It's one of my puzzle spots." I hear him mutter, "Someone's activated it."

"Who?" I ask looking at the screen only to see a figure dressed in black and grey.

"Well, well look who's finally decided to show up." Edward says looking at me with a smirk. The figure in black and grey is none other than the person Ed's been waiting for, Batman.
