Bruce tried not to panic. He had agreed to take Dick out with him. The kid was getting better and better at fighting and taking care of himself. And Bruce knew him well enough to know that if he waited too long the kid would go out on his own. Which would be even worse.
But of course this had to be the night that Riddler caught up to him. Then decided to throw Dick into the puzzle he had concocted that time.
Bruce was stuck tied to a chair in a way he was having a hard time getting out of. Waiting to see if his ward would make it out alive. He just had to wait and see. Riddler wasn't even giving him any sort of update. Just watching from his screens that Bruce couldn't see. He just kept trying to get out of his bonds.
"Well it seems he's a clever little bird. So, We'll get to play together another time it seems."
Bruce sighed in relief. Dick had made it through and in such a way that Riddler wasn't just going to kill him anyway. They would both get out of this and live another day,
