Summary

Sometimes, Riddler takes hostages. It's a bad thing, but he IS a supervillain. He challenges them to puzzles and games, knowing they won't solve them, reveling in his victory.

So what happens when he meets a hostage so annoying, Riddler would actually rather lose?

Told through Incorrect Quotes!

Notes

In my head, the hostage is named Jeff (the reasons why will become apparent later on), but feel free to imagine any gender or name you want.

Chapter 1: Let's Start Off Slow

Hostage, about an ancient language-based riddle: Come on, Mr E, no-one's spoke this since the dinosaurs ruled--

 

A very triggered Riddler, to a very confused hostage: The dinosaurs didn't rule the Earth, they were just alive. Stop giving them credit for administration skills they didn't have!

I can already tell that Riddler is going to lose it XD

Poor Riddler.

He's one of my favorite characters, but he needs to be knocked down a peg every once in a while, you know? 😂

I don't know, but don't let Harvey hear it out of context (maybe even in context...)

Okay, but eating a KitKat sideways is a crime I didn't even realize existed. Just- why!?

Arukir Author via AO3 2024-08-05

Now I kinda want to try eating one sideways... It would be SO messy, though.

STAY STRONG. AVOID THE TEMPTATION.
