Finding out Edward was The Riddler definitely caught you by surprise. You had your suspicions he was hiding something but you never thought he was hiding something like this.
《》
Ever since "The Riddler" struck the mayor and the city of Gotham, everyone was on high alert. Nobody knew who he was going to strike next and every corrupt higher up in the city knew they were going to be a victim eventually.
You were also on high alert, in other words scared shitless. Luckily, your boyfriend, Edward, was there to comfort you. He told you he'd protect you from everything, and he kept his promise in a way. He had protected you from the riddler, he was the riddler and he'd never hurt you.
He had comforted you when you were scared, stressed, sad, and humiliated. How could he have done this?

You had found out while looking for any spare clothes of yours in his closet. He had a section where he'd put clothes that belonged to you when you left it at his. Edward recently organized his entire closet making it easy to find things but you had trouble looking for your things.
You were specifically looking for a green shirt of yours and reached out to grab it. Once you had it in your hand you realized it wasn't your shirt. It was a green army bomber jacket, adorned with a white question mark on the chest.
You were shocked. It had looked near to completely alike to the jacket The Riddler wore. A wave of chills ran up your arm and your mind wondered if this was the real one. Even if it wasn't why would your boyfriend Edward, have this? Was he a fan of The Riddler?
Right as your mind spoke you heard the keys jingling, unlocking the door, you instantly jumped at the sound.
Hearing the foot steps and the voice of someone you love and fear call out to you was spine chilling. Hearing his footsteps come closer and closer every second made you fall to the floor and cry. You didnt know why you were so sure of this and you felt so guilty for believing this because you loved him and loved you.
Hearing his voice ask you if you were alright and what was wrong was spine chilling and made you sob even more. He repeatedly asked what was wrong and tried holding you in his arms but you pushed him away.
You looked up immediately after you did that subconsciously, making sure you hadn't hurt his feelings. He looked at you with with wide eyes and looked around the room with sad eyes. Once his eyes landed on the jacket on the bed his eyes immediately went wide knowing what was making you feel this way.
You finally stood up and avoided his gaze as he looked at you. He walked over to you and tried hugging you repeatedly but you wouldn't let him have it. Pushing and hitting him over and over again on his chest.
Finally, you gave up fighting and engulfed him in a hug.
The innocent smile he'd alway had since the first day you met, your first date, your yearly anniversarys, to the day he locked eyes with you for the first time, was gone.
He repeated the words 'sorry' 'I'm so sorry baby' 'I am so so sorry' to you for atleast ten minutes as he held you close and caressed your face and hair.
You finally pushed him back and pulled away from him as you sniffled and brushed your tears away. You were done, with him and everything that had to do with Edward.
