{ Nite's pov }
My eyes refused to open, it's to early to wake up. The gentle feel of rising and falling was like a lullaby played along with a beating noise that was constant. Wait! My eyes shot open but only saw green. I gently lifted my head, my eyes widened. Only two inches from my face was Edwards own, what crap happened last night! I tried to remove myself off of him but his arms around my waist just tightened. Blushing like the Mad women I was I tried once more only to have his arms snake fully around me in a warm embrace. I give up, nah I'll just wake him up.
"Um Eddie, care to remove your arms from around my waist?" I gently whispered. His body moved to lay on its side dragging me with it. If I thought it was undone comfortable before it just got worse, I'm smashed between him and back of the couch. Ok that's it! " Eddie I've got a riddle for you. Who is about to get both their arms broken, but is idiot enough to try some thing like this." I asked him in a regular tone. His eyes shot open, it took him a moment to realize the position we were in but once he did he just smirk "Your tiny brain just can't handle being so close to a mind so superior" he bragged.
That's it! I pushed him off with force and he went on to the floor. He frowned but I have bigger fish to fry. I went over to the door and pulled my shoes on and my dad's dusty old jacket. "Where are you going?" The riddler asked. "I was just staying here for the night, I'm going to see where Gotham takes me I guess. See ya Riddler" I reached for the door know "That is a very foolish plan I must say. If you need a place you could always partner up with the king of riddles" he said dramatically as he picked himself off the floor dusting himself off.
Is he asking me to join him? I've never had a partner, maybe that's why I was caught because I didn't have people to fight beside. "Um, well, okay. Besides being in Gotham with a friend is better than hanging alone" I told him smiling. "Well lets get going then shall we?" He opened the door for me as I stepped out and jumped onto the bike. He groaned, "not that forsaken machine again" he grumbled climbing on. He stopped complaining when I told him to hold on, he of course wrapped his arms around my waist. Couldn't he just grab onto the seat or my shoulders, but Nooo he went and pulled a Joker. What's up with all the perverted crazy men in Gotham?
{ Edward pov }
Nite grinned ear to ear when she saw my where house full of screens and computers. My goons have kept the place looking nice I'll admit. "Wow that's a lot of screens." She commented filling me with pride. "Well well look who made it out" a familiar voice mused. Scarecrow walked out from the shadows in a black suit hair combed back. "Hey John, good to see you got out okay" Nite said turning to him for a second to give him a smile then turned back to the screens.
Jonathan had the same startled look when I had seen Nite all cleaned up. What I didn't like is the way hours eyes never left her body, my face heated up. I marched over to him but he failed to notice me until I was standing in front of him. "What are you doing in my head quarters?" I hissed at him. "Well I just wanted to see if you made it out, if not I would claim this place as my own. I'm a little surprised to see Nite looking like this, I mean it sort of wipes the scary off." He said frankly. I growled as he looked back to her, what do I have to do to get the point across "Stop looking at her like that!" I snapped.
"Eh? Sorry I didn't catch that." He shrugged. "Is there any point in being here! Or are you going to continue staring at Nite?" I asked pissed off. Scarecrow just shrugged smirking, That Does IT! I was about to jump onto him "cough cough. If you men are done I'm going to go get some clothes, apparently restraint jackets aren't in style nor normal. So I'm going to need 'normal clothing when I decide to go out but at least I can wear my coat when I'm here." she walked toward the door, I couldn't describe how embarrassed I am. "Don't you need money for clothes" Scarecrow asked, why didn't I think of that! I guess that's one point for scarecrow, one point for me for being so dang sexy. "Nah I'll just kill them" she said mello toned, face palm I swear some times she just pulls a blank on the fact that there are such things as cops.
"Here you can have this" John went over to her and handed her some money, when did I stop being the smart one here. She grinned brightly like the sun and thanked scarecrow and then left. Scarecrow turned to me grinning happily "I think she likes me more than you" he said in a mocking tone. "Real mature, but who in the end of the day has her trust huh? You? The one that stole her research then almost got pounded by her in the cafeteria?" I asked pleased with myself. He frowned and then sat on the couch I kept at the edge of the room to sleep on during late work nights. "I think I'll wait tell Nite returns. Don't think about arguing unless you want to end up being gassed then that means I get Nite to my self though" he said to himself. I am really starting to hate this guy, in the asylum we only talked because he was really the only sane person along with me.
Two hours passed when the entrance door opened and closed. I looked up and my jaw dropped Nite wore black and white striped pants with a black tank top covered with a blue v neck web cover shirt that showed off her arms and shoulders along with black combat boots. Light makeup covered her face but she still came across as a model. Scarecrow gaped to as he closed a book I had lying around, he walked over to her but I matched his pace so we were both standing before her. "Um I can go change if you want I don't mind, I earned a lot of money though with looking normal. A bunch of guys kept giving me dollars then I punched them knocking them out and keeping the money though." she told us both happily "No! No don't change you look amazing" I told her quickly before John could open his mouth, but he still did.
"This is your first time in Gotham in nine years right?" John asked, she nodded. "How about I take you to one of Gotham's new restaurant?" John asked, no he don't "Yes it would be a pleasure for us to take you, what are friends for" I said, what a save Riddler. She grinned ear to ear, from what I learned of her past she was poor so she never had a chance like this. "That would be amazing! Thank you so much! You are the best friends a crazy person could ask for" she said hugging us both at the same time, it would have been a dream if John wasn't there.
"Alright lets get going after Riddler decides to change." John pointed out, right I'm the only one in costume. "Okay come on Nite" I told her forgetting how wrong that just sounded. "No thanks, I think I'll wait right here. I'm not that comfortable with you to see you in your undergarments" she explained, my face burned red with realization. I nodded to her but glared at John warning him not to step over any boundaries.
Finished changing I ran to be truth full back to Nite, if Johnathan tried anything I swear gas or no gas he is dead! I heard Nite laughing and Crane laughing too. I walked out fixing my tie "Alright lets go" I motioned to the door opening it for her but as she passed I inspected her to see if any thing had changed in her clothing but much to my relief nothing was out of order. Crane just grinned as he passed and walked over to the fancy car he had came in opening the door for Nite. This was going to be a long Nite.
Hey girls and guys I know Nite comes off as a little naive but it's only because she missed all her dating and girly guy chasing faze so she is all new to this attention. If you guys have any request on things you want to happen or embarrassing fails or even sad stuff if you into that. But I want you guys to know all of you have made me so freaking happy! Now if you could excuse me I need to do something I was supposed to do before this, Homework. OH and before I forget a special shout out to a fellow quotev member who was the first to comment on this and the nicest comment I've ever read, I won't put her on the spot because I know some people don't like being put on the spot. Until next time ta ta for now dearies ~ Zaven Linn
