Daddy's girl.


It had been a week and since then, Enigma hadn't left him alone, she'd been staying close to her daddy, helping him out, carrying files around the place.

Now here he was, walking up the stairs with his minnie copy following him.

Well it was hard to tell it was Enigma, it actually looked like a pile of files with legs.

"Are you sure you're okay with that, Enigma?" Edward questioned with concern as he stared at his daughter, well of what he could see her.

"I'm fine, Daddy," came the happy reply as she followed after him up the stairs.

Honestly, he was still getting used to being called 'Daddy', it felt unreal.

"Left, Enigma," Edward spoke up and the girl turned, following him as they walked towards Essen's office.

He gently knocked on the door before entering and Gordon, Bullock and Essen all turned to him.

"Ed?"

"I have the files, umm… we have the files…" he trailed off and stepped to the side as Enigma came in and walked up to Edward, who knelt down and gently took the top files off her.

"Thank you Enigma," he smiled at her and Enigma grinned back.

"You're welcome, Daddy… should I give these to Detective Gordon and Detective Bullock?"

"Yes please, sweety."

Enigma grinned and walked over to them and handed them the files.

"Thanks honey," Bullock smiled and took the files off her. "Looking good in those glasses."

"Thank you Detective," Enigma smiled as she handed Gordon the other files.

"Thanks sweetheart, so you're helping your Daddy?"

"Uh huh!" Enigma nodded her head. "It's our Daddy daughter day!"

"Yes," Edward smiled before frowning slightly. "Which it seems to be everyday, since Mist told me."

"You don't mind me being with you, do you Daddy?"

"Of course not. Now come on," he beckoned for her to follow him. "We have some work to do."

"Ed," Essen warned. "Stay out of the morgue. I can't cover you, alright."

"Of course Captain," Edward smiled at her. "I have to look after Enigma anyway."

The Captain nodded and Edward and Enigma left promptly as they walked through the main building.

"What are we going to do Daddy?"

"Well, you can stay in the file room, I am going down to the morgue."

"The morgue?" Enigma frowned and crossed her little arms. "But Captain Essen said you can't go in there, Daddy."

Edward smiled. "Don't worry Enigma. Everything will be fine."


Everything was not fine. Everything was bad, very, very bad.

He'd been caught and now here he was, sitting in his office, staring down at his identity card, ' ' shining in big, bold, black writing.

Ironic. His name was also his daughter's name in a way.

Enigma was still in the file room, he'd seen her there when he came to give Kristen her pencil back and then he spotted little Enigma hiding in a den of files. Not too dissimilar to when he first found her.

But now here he was, sitting at his desk, it was all quiet and-

"Daddy!"

He looked up and was greeted by a crying Enigma at his legs. She looked so upset.

"Enigma, what happened?"

Enigma looked up at him, sniffing slightly as she stared. "He shouted at me Daddy!"

"Who shouted at you?"

"The man in the morgue, he shouted and called me a… a nuisance and said I was just as annoying as my gibbering loon of a father! He was very angry!"

Edward was fuming. How dare he shout at his daughter!

Yes she shouldn't of been in the morgue anyway, but to yell like that, it was unforgivable!

He could not let this side. Never could he let this slide!

"Don't worry, Enigma," Edward soothed as he stroked her hair and sat her on his knee, his eyes going dark as he glared at nothing at all.

"He won't be a problem anymore, very soon."

T.B.C:


Note: Short chapter I know... but well, I had to have a cute scene with Eddie and Enigma didn't I :P No Mist in this on either!

Anyway, if you like the character of Mist, then you will like my new story based off the Arkham games, which is basically her story for that universe, so check it out if you want more Mist and Edward with Enigma thrown in and around at the same time :D
