Chapter 1: Riddle Me This, Who Call

Chapter 1: Riddle Me This, Who Call's From The City Of Metropolis? (Riddler's Narrative)
I watered the Moonlight Apple Tree at the spot where it's planted in our hideout's garden where it can get plenty of moonlight. We made sure
we take care of it everyday, that not one apple is damaged. The Moonlight Apple Tree stays planted in the new hideout since our other one
is still in construction. In a way I'm kind of glad Fredrick destroyed our old hideout because I get to stay here for a while
"OOF!"
I was pounced on by Riddle who wore a lion costume. She even have whiskers painted on her face, and including lion contact eyes which are more yellow like. "Riddle
what are you doing?"
"Pouncing lesson."
"For what?"
"In case if I feel like being a lion when I go into crimes."
"...That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."
"...Roar."
I couldn't help myself but laugh and facepalm myself. "You're such a riot Riddle." Suddenly there was a call going off at the main computer.
"Now who on earth is calling at this time of night?" I said.
"Your mom."
"God I hope not. Riddle please get off me."
"Sure." she got off me and helped me up.
"And please change into your uniform."
"No promises."
I sighed as I know she's going to embarrass me in front of whoever is calling. We went to the computer as I answered the call. Once the
screen came up, it was that Lex Luthor fellow from Metropolis. "Ah. Mr. Luthor, to what do I owe this pleasure?"
"Tch, that is such a villain saying." said Riddle still in her lion costume.
"Before I explain myself." said Lex, "Why is your assistant dressed up as a lion?"
"Pouncing." she said.
I falcepalm again as I said to him, "Please do not encourage her."
"Also I'm a fan of the Lion King movie." she smiled her fanged grin like a lion.
"Just tell me why you called, Lex."
"I need your help on a certain matter. It does involve Superman."
I steepled my fingers as I smiled happily. "Well if it involves Superman, how on earth can I not resist?"
"I'm guessing you're on board. The rest of the plan will be explained once the transportation brings you here to Metropolis."
"And where shall we meet this transportation?"
"At the airport. Be indiscreet, oh and Riddle."
"Yeah?" she said.
"Leave the lion suit behind."
"No promises."
"Don't bother convincing her, Lex."
He signed off. I turned around to face my assistant as I said, "You're not serious on bringing that costume are you?"
"...Hakuna Matata."

 +  -    "...Oh God." This is the third time I falcepalm myself. If it's the third time you know I'm really embarrassed. Yet somehow, it's a good
embarrassment.
...
Our transportation were Lex Luther's men with a private jet. "Ooo, high top class." said Riddle.
"Rich people like Lex always love showing off their money."
"I call pilot!"
"No."
"But I know how!"
"No!"
She made a pouty face as we got on board. To pass the time Riddle and I played Yugioh cards. For once on the third round I was able to
beat her. "About time!" I said, "You've been teaching me how long to play this game?"
"Riddler it's only been an hour that I've taught you this game."
"That long?!"
"You really don't like losing don't you?"
"Who do you think you've been working with this whole time?"
"Ladies and gentlemen stay in your seats for we are about to land in Metropolis." said the pilot through the speaker.
"Man, about time." said Riddle.
"Oh I just remembered." I said, "Did you let Mark know that you were going away on business?"
"Yeah I did. How long are we going to be away?"
"At least about 3 to 4 weeks or so, give or take."
...
We were presented to Lex Luthor in his office. He smiled at us as Lex said, "Ah, Riddler, Riddle!" He stand up from his chair as he shook our
hands. "I trust that the trip was decent."
"Of course, Mr. Luthor." I said, "So what do you need our help for?"
"I need your help to build this machine I'm creating called, Divergent. There's this special Gold Krptonite I had a lot of trouble getting. It's
suppose to take Superman's powers away."
"And this machine Divergent is to?"
"Separate Superman's abilities into different viles. I want the powers he possesses."
"Makes sense." said Riddle.
"As for you Riddle," he said to her, "I have a special assignment. I need you to be friends with Lois Lane."
"...Nope."
"Yes."
"No she's a tool."
"Riddle calm down." I said, "Mr. Luthor why do you need my assistant to pretend to be friends with Lois Lane?"
"It's obvious that I need her to be bait. Riddle is the perfect candidate to lure her in our trap."
"There's no way I'm going along with this." said Riddle.
"She's a very down to earth person."
"I hate down to earth people."
"Riddle." I warn her.
"What? I hate Lois Lane. If you got something to convince me to do this then you better cough up your big idea."
All of a sudden he brought out two tickets from his drawer to the Lion King play. "It starts tomorrow night at 8 o'clock."
... (Next Day)
I was so embarrassed to sit next to my assistant, dressed up as a lion, as we watched the Lion King play. "Woooo!" she shouted and applaud.
"THE CIRCLE OF LIFE!"
God kill me now. "Man I so love him for this!" she said.
... (Next Day)
"I hate him for this." said Riddle as she realized she must go and find Lois Lane.
"Hey! You made the deal so you keep it!" I said, pratically almost yelling at her. We're in our presidential suite gettig ready to go to work
today. Riddle didn't feel like looking her best today.
"What the hell am I suppose to be to this tool?"
"Try to be down to earth like her."
"Ha! You got jokes."I sighed as I took a brush and started combing her wet hair out. "What are you doing?" she said.
"It's obvious you're not up to this so I'm doing your hair for you."
I grab her hair gel as I spiked it up like she always have it, and blow dry it so it'll stay. "Never have I thought you knew how to make my
hairstyle." she said.
"Well you do it enough back at the hideout so I simply memorized it."
"Tch, well I'm impressed."
"Come on, let's get to work."
"(Sigh) Alright alright. But tell Lex I hate him."
"Dully noted."
"I mean it Riddler!"
I couldn't help myself but laugh. Riddle, I swear.
... (Riddle's Narrative)
While Riddler went to help Lex build this Divergent. I was given the GPS tracker to help me find Lois Lane. God I really don't want to. I really
hate what she does. News repoter of the Daily Planet, fell immediately in love with an alien all because he saved her, keeps on getting
captured almost every single day, and is such a fragile woman. I hate women who are like that.
It suddenly started to rain while I was on the hunt to search for Lois Lane. Good thing Riddler use the waterproof hair gel. Sure enough
though I was able to find her. She's right across the street from me, waiting for the walk sign to say go. For some reason though she looked
a little down.
Without even waiting a second longer, she took her first step onto the street. A white car came along fast, so out of reaction I charge at her
and took her out of the street. She was a little freaked about it but she regained herself. Although I wondered why on earth did I save this
tool? I know she's part of Lex's plan but still... Wait a minute did she tried to commit suicide back there?
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" I immediately got into the act.
"Yeah, I'm fine." she step away from my hold, "Sorry about that."
Wow, such in the mood today huh sweetheart?
"Hey, aren't you-,"
"What? That I'm Lois Lane? The girlfriend of superman?"
Boy does she sound pissed. "Uhh, whatever I guess. I was going to ask if you were going to be okay, but I see you're doing just find. See ya
never I guess."
"Whoa, wait." she gently grab my right arm. "Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like a jerk."
"Heh heh, it's fine. Where were you going by the way? To work?"
"No, Just came out here to walk in the rain."
"You too huh?"
"Really? Not many people who live in Metropolis would walk in the rain."
"Heh, well I ain't from Metropolis."
"Oh yeah? Where you from?"
"Okay first, let's get to know each other shall we? I know you said that you're Lois Lane. Well I'm Cloud Fair."
"Cloud Fair? That's a unique name, I like it."
"Why thank you Ms. Lane."
"Please call me Lois."
"Right, Lois. So I'm guessing you were born and raised here?"
"Yup, I'm a city girl."
"I'm from the country."
"Oh yeah? Where?"
"Gongaga."
She started to giggle in her hand to try to conceal it. "What's so funny?" I said playfully.
"That is such a backwater name for a country."
I couldn't help myself but laugh. "Right right. So shall we start walking?"
"Yeah."
We walked together in the rain, as we entered into the park zone. We sat down on a bench together under the falling rain. She asked me,
"So what are you doing here in Metropolis?"
"I'm a traveler really." I answered, "I go from place to place. As a matter of fact I just left Gotham City in one piece."
"Really? How do you like it?"
"It's very wild that's for sure. I was able to see the dynamic duo.""Ah Batman, I've always wanted to interview him someday."
"Yeah, when I entered into Gotham a lot of names came rolling into my head. Batman, Robin, Joker, Poison Ivy, Riddler-,"
"Oh yeah, have you heard he has a new partner?"
"New partner? Wait is it this one gal who goes by the name of Riddle?"
"That's her."
Wow, didn't think I'll be heard of in Metropolis. "No one has ever caught those two ever since she came around. What I believe is that she's
very well trained in not being caught."
"Well, they'll catch them eventually."
"Oh I hope not."
"Huh?"
Her answer caught me by surprise. "How come?"
"Well, before Riddle came along. The Riddler was real ruthless. Last time I heard he nearly beaten the Batman without Riddle's help. So you
can imagine that he was a real dangerous man. But all of a sudden when Riddle came along. He became soft and much merciful to the
citizens. They do crimes together but it's not everyday. Fr
