So a few things one while going through Deviantart I noticed someone posted a screengrab of themselves bickering with one of these scammers on Fanfiction so I feel more obligated to try help raise awareness of this problem of the scammers/bot farms and also I decided Buttercup will not become canon in the Neozoic Tales I thought she could fit in but then I decided it's better to keep the characters of the 'non-canon' stories separate also there is already a Pig Character in Bacon Bit there are already more than enough Dog Mutants don't need an overabundance of Pig Mutants too!
So after supper Jonathan yawned and mentioned that was pretty good to finally have a decent meal. He went back upstairs saying he needed his rest to recover.
While Scarecrow's hideout was certainly spooky it also didn't lack for comfy furniture to sleep on! The Turtles of course being the gentlemen that they were let Buttercup have the biggest sofa in the living room to sleep on Buttercup saw that the Turtles were content to sleep in chairs or even on the floor...Buttercup felt a little bad wishing there were better places to sleep but the Turtles probably didn't want her to give up the sofa to one of them, particularly as Mikey took the throw blanket off the back of the sofa and draped it over her!
"Night…" Mikey said softly "...Hopefully you'll have sweet dreams, can't say I will in this creepy place!"
Buttercup turned onto her back and thought about how she was more at ease with 'dark' and 'spooky' things maybe because deep down as a Mutant Pig she accepted what she had been told most of Humanity would see her as that she WAS really a monster!
She noticed Leo hadn't found a place to settle down for the night instead he was pacing around the room
"I'm keeping watch for the night." Leo said "Just to make sure…"
Buttercup sighed she had been so charmed by Jonathan that she kept forgetting he was still a Super villain who consistently sought to spread terror in Gotham and possibly spreading out to the whole world!
Scarecrow himself dozed hoping the medicine would begin to take further effect but he set his alarm clock to wake him at midnight.
When his alarm clock woke him up he gingerly stepped out of his room and peeked downstairs. Most of the mutants were sleeping peacefully in the living room, however he noticed the Turtle with the blue mask...Leonardo was his name wasn't it? Turn the corner and noticed him on the stairs! So one of them decided to keep watch did he? Well Jonathan had to admire that level of forethought and caution given his reputation, as the man and the turtle stared at each other for a moment, Jonathan decided to give a solemn nod of his head as a silent way of acknowledging the Turtle while also trying to communicate he had nothing malevolent planned and Leo for his part seemed to understand the gesture and seemed grateful for Jonathan acting honorably
With that Jonathan went to his room and decided now would be the time he would call Nygma in truth he simply wanted to do this himself as he didn't want to reveal Buttercup and her companions or what they were too soon because they had been so helpful in his time of need he wanted to try to keep them safe from Nygma's curiosity for as long as possible.
He dialed Riddler's number.
He didn't have to wait long before the phone was picked up
"Jonathan?" Edward Nygma seemed genuinely curious "I rarely get calls from you...To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Good to hear you sound awake…" Jonathan said "...You always did strike me as a bit of night owl."
"Just doing a bit of programming." Edward said "Easier at night when things are slightly quieter in the city."
"I have some information you might be very interested in…" Jonathan said with a wry smile…
So I'll leave Edward flipping out when he learns his IP has been stolen for next chapter
