Reviews:

TheActualRealOne : I have for the second one.

Blaze1992: Hey now, the less impotant ones shouldn't be forgotten, shame on you. Though if I must be a serious for a moment then I am more worried about getting bigger baddies right then I am about the less known ones.

AnimeA55Kicker : I'm convinced that it's a live action version of the play in season three of the show and not the actual show.

The Cowardly Christian : Not yet because I'm a bit busy but I do plan to put an option in the future for getting me to write a one shot.

TM11 : I can't tell you yet because I don't want to give anyone any clues beyond what's in the story. But I will say that you're not the first person to guess him.

Chapter 42 -

"Fucking hell." Selina said under her breath as she and Harry managed to sneak out into a hallway in the back of the building. "It's a shame you don't have your suit." She sighed.

"I've got my suit." Harry responded as the two headed towards the exit. "It's in the car."

"You...you have it in the car?" She blinked.

"Of course," Harry said in a voice that made it sound like he thought it was ridiculous for her to expect anything different. "I always do my best to be prepared for situations like this. Plus it is pretty much a given that every night when I go out to enjoy myself there is a fifty percent chance of something going tits up." Harry added.

The two got close to the exit when one goon with a machine gun stepped out of a door, he spotted them and pointed the gun at them, Harry and Selina stopped a few feet in front of him.

"Hold it right there," The goon said as he stepped closer. "you two are going to go back in there and..."

Whatever the goon was about to say would not be heard as he was cut off by Harry and Selina, Harry pushed the gun so it was no longer pointing at them. Selina quickly followed up with a throat punch that caused the goon to gasp as Harry yanked the gun out of his arms, Harry hit him in the head with the handle and Selina followed up with a kick to the face that knocked the goon out.

"Well, that was easy." Selina said as Harry dismantled the gun before he tossed the pieces in a nearby bin.

"Just a bit." Harry agreed before the two continued walking and walked out of the exit where Harry's car was waiting for them. Harry opened the boot of the car and picked up a big box with a lock on it, he had placed a few runes on it to make sure nobody would mess with it, much like he had done with the rest of his car. "Alright, I'll get changed and then go in." Harry said after checking around to make sure there were no security cameras or people around. "You go and wait for my..."

"I want to help." Selina cut him off.

"Selina," Harry sighed as he started getting change, his head constantly moving around to make sure he would spot if someone walked into the alleyway. "really?"

"Hey, you have trained me, I know I can help you and you've got hostages in there."

"Fine," Harry sighed as he ripped off a piece of clothing and handed it to Selina who gave him a nod before she wrapped it around the bottom of her face. She reached into the car and pulled out a hoodie and put it on. Thankfully she was wearing jeans instead of a dress. "I'm going to go and get their attention, you sneak around the rest of the building and pick off the rest of the men that he has stationed there." Harry said before he pulled out a batarang and tossed it to Selina who easily caught it. "Keep that in case you need it to stab a few people. They're likely to be more heavily located in the actual casino part of the building but you need to remember..."

"Constant vigilance, yes, I know, Harry." She said with a smile that was hidden by the piece of clothing that was covering the bottom half of her face. "I'll do my best to not be seen, this isn't really a very good mask."

"Yeah," Harry agreed as he tossed her an ear piece. "try and get to the electrical booth and wait for my signal then cut the power."

"Got it." She nodded as she put her ear piece in, she ran towards the wall of the casino and ran up it to jump on a bin. She jumped off that onto the fire escape above, she sent him a wink before she continued climbing.

"That woman will be the death of me." Harry sighed, he wasn't totally comfortable with letting her help out but he knew that she was good enough to take care of herself. Once Harry had his suit on he transformed into a bat and took off into the air.

Bat-Harry flew into the casino through an open window and stopped on top of window and took a few moments to look around and see what he was working with. There were several gunmen stationed all around the casino, each wearing black ski masks with green around their eyes like domino masks, also in the room was a couple of tied-up hostages. At the far end of the casino there was a small glass chamber that was in a verticle position, in the chamber was a man, the fat man from before, his hands were wrapped in a brown, fingerless glove and forcibly held up by a line from the ceiling of the chamber so they were in front of his sweaty face, all of his fingers and thumbs were spread out. The face in question was shooting out terror sweats thanks to the small circular saw blades that were dangling from the roof of the chamber, dangling very close to his fingers.

Standing in front of the chamber was the green hooded man from before, he was leaning on his cane, from Bat-Harry's current angle he could see that the man was wearing a dark purple shirt and a green tie with his green jacket which was looking more like a blazer with a hoodie, his hood was up and he had a green domino mask on, Bat-Harry was starting to think that it 'might' just be possible that this man likes green. On the left lapel of his blazer-jacket there was a golden question mark.

"P...please!" The fat man in the chamber cried. "I...I...I'll do whatever you want! Just...just let me out!" He begged, the sound of the spinning saws not helping stop the feeling of terror that was dominating his body.

"I would, Mori, really I would." The man in green said in a voice. "But the rules have already been decided on, I can't change the rules. You can get out of this Mori, it's really simple. Just answer my riddles, five riddles for five digits Mori, see? I'm nice enough to leave you with at least one working hand, and then you answer a bonus one for your head. Prove to me that you deserve to keep that head. Now, for my first riddle, a simple one: There is one of me in three, one of me in four but none of me in five. What am I?" He asked, a smirk on his thin, freshly shaven face.

Bat-Harry didn't bother focusing on the riddle and instead took one more look around the room, he silently glided down to the cashier booth when he saw one man with his back facing towards it. Bat-Harry managed to sneak in and saw two hostages tied up inside with one more gunman who was looking down towards them. Bat-Harry landed in-between both men, both with their backs turned to him. He transformed back into Batman and dropped both of them with a couple of stunners..

Batman looked towards the wide eyed hostages and gestured them to quiet, the two quickly nodded, knowing that they were hidden from view while inside the booth but not from sound.

"Harry," Selina's voice was heard through his ear piece. "I'm about two minutes away from the electric joint, give me the signal whenever you're ready." Batman held his fingers to the side of his head to touch his ear piece.

"Got it." Batman whispered back before he looked outside the booth.

"I'm losing patience, Mori." The green hooded man sighed. "Are you expecting a hint?" He asked in an amused voice. "What is your answer, Mori?"

"You...you're insane!" The fat man - 'Mori' as he was apparently called - cried out, tears dripping down his eyes.

"No, I don't believe that would be the answer." The green hooded man replied. "For the record, the answer was 'R'."

"What?!"

"The letter 'R', you know? One in three, one in four but not in five? It's not that hard! I...oh forget it, I'll just take a finger." He said before pressing a button on his cane, one of the saw blades moved forwards and took off the tip of Mori's pinky finger, causing Mori to scream loudly as pain shot through his body and blood ran down his hand. "Let's move on to my next riddle, shall we?" The green hooded man said a few seconds later in a cheerful voice.

Batman rushed out of the booth and quickly tossed two batarangs towards the two gunmen by the entrance, the batarangs bounced off their heads, knocking them both out. By the time they had fallen to the floor Batman had managed to take out another two gun men with two more batarangs, another gunmen aimed his gun at Batman but was hit with a blasting curse that sent him crashing into a wall, his unconscious form slid down to the floor.

"Batman?" The green hooded man gasped when he turned around to see Batman standing a short distance away. "What are you doing here?"

"Stopping you." Batman answered through his magically amplified voice. "Who are you?"

"Me?" The man asked, sounding almost glad that Batman had asked. "Well, dark saviour, I am 'The Riddler'!" He said in a dramatic voice, he then paused and looked at Batman. "Do you like my name? I picked it out myself. Of course it doesn't have the same ring to it as 'Batman' but I rather like it."

"Give up, now." Batman responded, holding another batarang in his hand.

"Now, now, I'm sure we can talk about this." Riddler said with a smirk. "You don't want to save Mori, I've read up on you, Batman. You break the bones of thugs, brutalize them, you are 'Gotham city's vigilante'. You work to stop thugs like Mori, he's as villainous as they come, Batman."

"If that's true then he'll stand trial." Batman replied.

"Trail?" Riddler snorted. "Don't you think a more...permanent method would work better?"

"I've seen enough death to last me several life times." Batman responded, taking a step forward.

"Stop," Riddler said as the remaining gunmen aimed their guns at him. "or my men will shoot."

"Harry," Selina's voice echoed in his ear piece. "I can cut the power now."

"Do it." Batman said, knowing he had a short amount of time to act before the back-up lights came on.

"Really?" Riddler asked in a voice that made it clear that he was seriously doubting just how intelligent Batman really was. "Your suit may be bullet proof but all these bullets firing at you at the same time will most definitely not..." The Riddler was cut off as the lights of the casino suddenly went out, the back-up lights came on about ten seconds later, Riddler looked around and saw his men were all either unconscious or groaning in pain as they lay on the floor with bat shaped projectiles sticking out of their bodies, though most of his attention was directed to the fact that now the Batman was only a few feet away from him. "Oh...that's impressive." He admitted, gulping slightly as Batman walked over.

"You're done." Batman said as he grabbed Riddler by the collar and shoved him against the glass chamber.

"No...not yet at least." Riddler said in a calm voice just before Batman snatched his cane out of his hand. "Careful with that, I've spent a long time working on it, I'm bit of an inventor, you see. I actually built this chamber behind me, do you like it? Mori likes it, don't you Mori?" Riddler asked, only to hear whimpering from Mori. "Ah well, each to their own." Riddler replied.

"Shut up." Batman replied, his voice held a hint of warning. He pulled the Riddler's mask and hood off to reveal his face, the Riddler wasn't able to see it thanks to Batman's mask but Batman's eyes widened when he realised just who this was, standing in front of him was none other than Edward Nygma!

"Well, that was rude, Batman." Riddler - or Edward Nygma as Batman knew him - said in a disapproving voice. "You don't see me tearing off your mask, do you? Though that you've seen my face, I should be allowed to see yours!" He said with a crazy grin.

"That's not how this works." Batman said, using one hand to lift him into the air by his collar.

"Perhaps not," Riddler chuckled. "I don't mind...I'll just work out your identity, it'll be a challenge." He laughed. "I haven't had one of those in ages."

"You can work it out while you're in jail." Batman said before he raised his free hand and stunned him. 'How the fuck did Nygma end up like this?' He wondered.

"Hey, Riddler," Riddler woke up with a big yawn when he heard someone call for him. He got up from his bed and took a brief look around at the standard cell he was in, the police would no doubt want to spend today questioning him again. Last night they had made sure he wasn't injured before interrogating him and trying to intimidate him, they didn't succeed on both counts. Riddler looked up at the cop who was leaning against his jail cell. "I've planted the device just like you told me to." He whispered.

"Has anyone seen you?" Riddler whispered back as he walked over and stopped once he was standing next to the bars. He glanced down at the cop's wrist and saw the time after looking at his watch, apparently it was still morning time.

"No," The cop shook his head. "nobody saw me."

"Good, you can go now, in fact...take the rest of the day off if you want. It'd be ideal if you're not here this morning, come back in the afternoon." Riddler told him.

"Got it." The cop nodded before walking off.

"Oh they're so adorable when they think they're smart." Riddler chuckled to himself once the cop was out of hearing range.

He walked back to his bed and lied down with a smile on his voice, he truly did think it was hilarious that these fools thought that they had captured him, that he had lost, that he was at their mercy. Well, they were wrong, very wrong. They were playing into his hands just like he knew they would, the one thing he hadn't expected was the Batman's involvement. He should have been prepared for the possibility of Batman arriving, but it had been a very unlikely thing and had skipped his mind during planning.

He would make sure to not make that mistake again, his original plan had involved his men taking out a few GCPD men before they threw in the towel which would have been after he had killed Mori. Then the police would have brought him here for stage two of his plan, still…despite Batman's interference - and the horrible fact that Mori was probably still alive if he had gotten enough medical attention in time - everything was currently going to plan, he was in the GCPD building, right where he wanted to be.

A.N: Hi guy, hope you enjoyed the chapter.

First of all this is not the last we'll see of Riddler (in case it wasn't obvious), he'll be right in the next chapter, don't you worry. I've chosen the riddler design from the telltale games because I really like that version of Riddler, though he won't be as old as the telltale one since he's roughly about Harry's age here.

As the message from above has stated, this is an important A.N. For those who don't know I am currently writing a story on fanfic that's called Dark Lord Potter, I wouldn't call it one of my best but people appear to like it, anyway in that story Harry is currently in his third year and I plan to finish the story sometime during his 4th/5th year, which means it's nearly finished (though I don't know how long it'll take me to finish it, hopefully this month or next month).

Which means I'm going to start another story, I've set up a poll on my pat-reon account to vote for which story is going to be next. The options are:

* HP/ATLA Xover: Harry is born in the Fire nation he can bend all 4 elements too, Harry/Azula pairing.

* HP is reborn in a new world and ends up helping out the girl-who-lived (HP/OC pairing)

* Vampire Harry has to deal with overprotective brothers, the wizarding world and a beautiful redhead. (HP/Ginny)

* Batman/MCU Xover: Batman gets transported into the MCU (pairing undecided).

* HP/Godofwar Xover: Harry is reborn as Kratos's first son and has the powers of Zeus.

* God of War/MCU Xover: Kratos and Atreus are transported to the MCU.

* HP/Spiderman Xover: Harry is reborn as Harry Parker (pairing will be either Mary jane or Gwen Stacey)

* HP/Spiderman Xover: Harry is reborn as Harry Osborn (pairing will be either Mary jane or Gwen Stacey)

* Harry is a werewolf and he likes it, even if other people don't. (Pairing is HP/Katie Bell).

I would have put better descriptions but I was limited in how much I could write.

So far the Avatar one is winning, if you want to change that or support it then you need to become a patron and cast your vote. Just go on the pat-reon ( I spell it like that because fanfic blocks the name, take away the dash if you want to type it in) website and search for JB21Q. The poll will end on the 04/03/2021 (England/Europe time), so if you want to become a patron and join in on the vote then do it before then. If you join then when the new story is released you will get early viewings of each chapter along with early viewings of another story of mine called Widow's Vengeance.

In the future (when I have more free time) I also plan to give more rewards such as shoutouts, and writing one shots for patrons that pay a certain amount.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed the chapter and feel free to leave a review,
