Work Text:
Batman moved through the manor like a phantom, a shadow skulking around looking for evidence of the owner’s presence. He needed someone with a hand on the pulse of the underworld to help his investigation and sadly the one man who fit the bill is Oswald Cobblepot.
Suddenly, the lights flicked on and the caped crusader whipped around to see a boxer clad Edward Nygma wielding a Nintendo Switch and a beef jerky stick.
“You know you can knock. That’s a thing people do before coming into houses they don’t own,” Ed deadpanned.
“How long were you awake it’s 3am-“
“I was up the whole time I forgot to take my melatonin gummy and I wanted to see how long you were going to skulk around Ozzie’s place. Oh by the way, he’s still at the club he’s working on office stuff,” the Riddler took a bite of jerky before continuing, “S’why I forgot to take my melatonin.”
Batman just stared at Ed for a moment.
“Nygma, just take the gummy.”
“Nah it’s 3am it’s too late. Besides I’m replaying my Pokemon Shining Diamond game. Terrible graphics and I wish they did more but beggars can’t be choosers.”
“I only played Fire Red.”
Ed grimaced.
“Too busy running after clowns and robbers?”
Batman shrugged.
“Anyways you can leave now,” Ed took another bite of jerky before playing on his console.
“… Nygma go to bed-“
“Don’t police my life man, leave my boyfriend’s house!”
