tcnetwork | Edward Nygma / The Riddler

Because she gets to be raised by both of my parents. I can get to know my dad now, as an adult, but it's not the same.

Do you imagine that would've been better?

Probably. I don't know.

Whatever it's stupid. What's new with you?

I don't think it's stupid, Mia. [ But if she wants to change the subject, he'll let her. ]

This. Preparing for that heist.

[ Oh, there's a smirk. ]

What heist?

[ Yes, just focus on something else for now. ]

Deputy Peralta's so called Halloween Heist. He posted about it on the network a few days ago. Whoever obtains this plaque he purchased on Halloween is the 'smartest in the galaxy' or some such thing. I don't think it's going to go how he wants it to go.

He sounds like a bored nerd.

[Ed smirks again.]

Doesn't he, though?

You joining in?

Why do you think it's not going to go how he wanted it?

[Ed...may have done something. He probably won't tell you.]

Where do you work, by the way?

[Is it a change of subject? Maybe.]

Devious. I kind of love it.

Um, I'm teaching archery.

[He grins a bit at the complement, then:]

Well, if you're looking for any other work I could use employees here when it's open.

Yeah? What could I do?

Mostly, I need people to help make sure it runs smoothly. It's sort of an escape room type of thing.

I think I can handle that. Thanks for thinking of me.

[He shrugs.]

Sure. Careful on the corner, there's a pressure plate.

[There's nothing loaded yet, but well. Why go through the trouble of resetting it?]

Thanks for the warning.

[ She probably would have noticed but it was nice for him to tell her. And to let her help. She needs the distraction. ]

Anytime. [ Paint, paint, paint. Slowly, it'll become apparently that they're painting a sign that says 'The Riddle Factory' ]

And thanks for helping keep me distracted.

[ She really is grateful, even if he's getting some free help. ]

Is it helping?

It is, thanks.

[Ed shrugged.]

So, what else has been going on?

Working mostly. Still adjusting. What have you been up to besides this? How's Oswald?

Mostly helping Oswald with the election. Taking care of our wards. Work.

[ There's a brief smile. ]

He's good.

I voted for him.
