Yin slowly felt the blackness retreating, seeing a blurry, metallic, grey object above her and feeling a soft sheet beneath her, a gentle release from the pain that Black Mask and Bane had caused her. Looking up Yin could see a blurry green man, it looked to her like he was entirely green, as if he was wearing a full body spandex. A grating metallic voice spoke out as she stirred "She is awake Riddler, sir". Riddler's usually cold voice seemed much softer than usual, "Thank You, you may leave us". Despite the use of his name and the obviousness that this was the Riddler's base of operations Yin's head was still spinning, unsure of where she was or why she reached up almost blindly and felt a warm pair of hands take hers

She could see her vision clearing, a metal ceiling above her, with a strange green glow lighting the entire room. Looking down at the figure holding her hands between his it took a moment to recognize who it was before ripping her hand out of his grip and scrambling manically away from him, while making sure to keep him in sight at all times. "What do you want with me you maniac?" she shouted at him, reaching the far end of the bed and pressing herself against the wall. "Calm down Yinsy" he told her softly, "I won't cause you any harm". "Then why have Black Mask and the others kidnap me?" she asked, anger still evident in her voice.

Riddler turned away from her at this, looking at the far wall, a look of both hatred and rage written across his face. "I had nothing to do with that man's crimes" he told her, a steely tone to his voice, although it wasn't aimed at her, instead it was aimed at the ex-mob boss. He had watched the warehouse blow up, Black Mask along with Number 1 and the rest of Yin's unit still inside. That man had got what he deserved, hurting Ellen. "Then why am I here?" Yin demanded, not realizing that Riddler had risked his life for her. "That's a Riddle you'll have to solve yourself" came the reply, much warmer and softer than before.

Yin pondered on this for a second and only a second before returning her full attention to Riddler who was moving around the bed, towards her. "Stay away from me Riddler" she hissed, spitting out the last word as if it was poison. He flinched noticeably at this, drawing back and looking away sadly, "It's Edward" he mumbled quietly, looking at his feet for a minute before looking up again at Yin's surprised expression. She hadn't heard what he had said, but was still surprised at his reaction to her outburst, and even more so at the sad look in his eyes when he looked at her.

He stepped towards her again, lifting one hand up to gently cup her face, feeling her flinch at his touch, "I promise you Yin, I won't hurt you" he told her gently and honestly, leaning in slightly to examine her broken nose, he had personally wiped the blood from her face when they had arrived but he hadn't been able to properly examine her nose before she had awoken. "What are you going to do Riddler?" she asked, slightly worried at Riddler holding her face and still a little icily, "Please call me Edward" he told her softly, still examining her nose. She involuntarily jerked her head out of his hand as he told her this, "What?" she said in near disbelief, "Edward, It's my name" he told her pleasantly, a warmth in his voice, rarely heard by other.

"Getting a little friendly aren't we?" she commented, at which he smiled warmly.
