Me and my shadow. My note: Switch is in it once again. She belongs to Sword Stitcher. I hope you like it and please check sword stitcher out she is amazing! Any way, Switch got a little bit curios.
It was true, Jester had many friends. But non were quite the same as Edward Nigma, also known as the Riddler or Enigma.
Jester follows him around where ever he goes.
No one really knows why the kid likes him so much.
Edward often reffers to her as his little shadow.
Jester calls him Big, Brother 'R'.
Switch had seen the two and they were always friendly. True they had their ups and downs but they got on with each other.
She watched them as they chattered about the goings on at Arkham and Strange.
From what she had heard, they both had some nasty dealings with Strange and they both hated him.
Switch had no idea why the two were friends. Their personalities were completely different.
Jester was all about fun, chaos and mischief.
Edward was all about thinking, puzzles and the mind.
The two shouldn't go together but they did.
Switch saw Jester sitting in Riddler's chair and her curiosity got the better of her.
"Neon."
Jester smirked at the nick name Switch was so fond of using for her. "Yeah Smart mouth?"
Switch smiled a tiny bit. "Why are you so close Riddler?"
Jester looked over at her and raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Switch sat on the floor opposite her. "I mean. You're friends with everybody. Yet you seem to be closest with Nigma. Why?"
Jester smiled. "Have you also noticed he's pretty close with me as well?"
Switch nodded her head. "Yeah. He's extremely close to you. Which is odd because, well, I didn't know he could become close with anyone."
Jester smiled. "Me and Eddie have been through a lot together. Always sticking to each other."
"Little shadow." said Switch. Jester raised an eyebrow. Switch continued. "He always calls you little shadow, or trouble maker."
Jester grinned. "There was a time when he called me little sister."
Switch raised and eyebrow. "Why little sister?"
Jester grinned. "When I first started out with the big leagues, well, me and him became a tiny little family. I was little sister and he was my big brother 'R'."
"You still call him that on occasions."
Jester grinned and nodded her head. "I know. He's always been like a brother to me. True he's probabley not the best brother in the world but a brother to me non the less."
Switch frowned. "That still doesn't explain why you two are so close."
Jester grinned and looked down at Switch. "I saved his life once. That's how we met. After that he went looking for me and he found me. I intrigued him and so we became a very strange family. I got caught and Eddie didn't have to, but he broke me out and I hadn't even gotten to Arkham. After that it became a sort of game to us. Me saving him and then he would save me, but it was mostly me saving him."
Switch smirked. "You saved his life? Who did you save him from?"
Jester sighed. "I saved him from Joker. I was working for Joker at the time too, so it was quite a big step up for me."
"Has he saved you from anybody?" asked Switch.
Jester frowned. "He's saved me from three people."
"Oh and who are they?" asked Switch.
Jester sighed. "Black Mask is the main one. Then it's my sister and then it's myself."
Switch frowned. "I get the other two but why does he have to save you from yourself."
"Ask Scarecrow. He's the one that calls me broken reflection." said Jester with a sigh.
Switch bit her lip. "You and Riddler are as thick as thief's."
Jester grinned. "We are aren't we? Oops!"
"What?" asked Switch.
Jester jumped up and grabbed her bag. "I was meant to be stealing him soothing tonight."
Switch raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
Jester picked her cane up. "Really."
Switch frowned. "That doesn't seem like him."
"Switch. You can't tell him about it. It's a surprise. Plus I know this is going to sound strange and all, but can you get me some question mark wrapping paper?"
Switch blinked a couple of times. "Sure but….. why?"
Jester sighed. "It's October 29th tomorrow. That's Eddie's birthday. He hates me for doing it but I always celebrate his birthday."
Switch nodded. "I didn't know it was his birthday to day. Where is he?"
"The same place he is every yeah." said Jester as she pulled her goggles over her eyes.
"And that place is where?" asked Switch.
"Gotham church." said Jester as she loaded her gun.
"And what is he doing there?" asked Switch.
"He's paying his respects to his mother." said Jester.
"His mother?" asked Switch.
"Yes Switch. His mother. Even he had one at one time. Gosh there is so much you need to learn about Eddie." said Jester as she pulled her boots on.
"Okay. That explains the flowers he took with him but it doesn't explain the can of petrol he took with him." said Switch folding her arms. "Why is he taking that.
Jester glanced up at her. "You forgot the book of matches he has in his coat pocket."
Switch went wide eyed. "What?! Why on earth is he taking those? What's he going to do?"
Jester smirked. "He's going to pay respect to his mother," she opened the door and walked out while calling behind her. "And he's paying abuse to his father!"
Switch stood there in silence.
There was currently only one question in her head at the moment.
Where the heck was she going to question mark wrapping paper from?
THE END.
