There's nothing to fear other than fear itself- Batman fanfiction

Chapter 18-- Ride along

Once me and Chloe had escaped across Arkham bridge, I showed Chloe to mine and Jonathan's safe house and we waited. We waited for hours.

"I have a bad feeling."Chloe mumbled out to me.

"Me too. We shouldn't have left them behind."I mumble back to Chloe.

The safe house was cold and dark, chemistry sets here and there filled with different mixtures of Jonathan's toxins.

"What do we do?"Chloe questions me curiously.

Almost on que, my phone began to ring. I slide the device out of my pocket and noticed it was a unknown number. I raised the phone up to my ear once I'd clicked accept.

"Speak."I answer sternly.

"It is I, Edward Nigma."Ed's voice booms down the phone.

"Yeah, quick the yapping Eddie, what's going on?"I quickly cut him off.

I place the phone down on the desk in front of me, placing the call on loud speaker.

"Me and Crane seem to have found ourselves in a conundrum. We've had to split ways but it seems the dark knight has decided to follow the doctors thoroughfare."Ed explains in his own way down the phone.

"Are you saying batmans following scarecrow?"Chloe questions The Riddler curiously.

"Is your dull-wittedness perpetrating your perception? Or perhaps your perception was never intellectually stimulated."Ed smartly mocks Chloe.

I couldn't help but try to hold the laughs in that threatened to escape.

"You little--"Chloe goes to angrily bite back.

I raise my hand to her quickly to stop her from biting at him.

"He's trying to provoke you. Don't rise to it. Eddie where are they heading? No doubt you're tracking the pair."I question the genius curiously.

"You're not wrong there my senseless friend. They seem to be heading in the direction of Diamond District. Where are you located?"Ed questions me in a inquisitive tone.

"In a safe house in The Bowery district."I inform him.

"Well, if you expect to catch the mad doctor then you best be quick."Ed tells me and Chloe.

I couldn't help but smirk to myself at his words, my eyes flicked up to Chloe with a menacing look filling them.

"Oh we'll be quick alright."I confirm to Ed.

I hang up the call and shove my phone back in my pocket. Chloe's eyes were filled with confusion at my amusement.

"I don't get it."Chloe mumbles out to me.

"Remember when we were in college and I used to joke about me becoming a criminal? I used to say that I'd want my own badass car collection?"I reminisce with her.

"Yeah?"The girl replies in a confused tone of voice.

"Follow me."I tell her.

I start heading across the safe house to a door which I had to put a pin code in for.

Once the door opened it revealed four expensive cars, all jet black in colour. I watched as Chloe's jaw drops.

"Say hello to my stolen babies."I laugh out to a astonished Chloe.

"You stole these?"Chloe breathes out to me.

"Damn right I did. Jonny always wondered when I'd use them, then he had the nerve to use my Chevy camaro over there to break me out of Arkham."I inform her with a gentle laugh.
