Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Eddie or Gotham.

Edward Nygma was bored. And as if that wasn't bad enough, he was irritated as well.

The Riddler didn't take well to boredom. He preferred to keep his overly-active mind occupied at all times, and while it was occupied…it was not occupied with something he wanted to think about.

This was the cause of the irritation.

The green-suited man sat at the table and tried to figure out what to do about the problem.

The problem was, of course, the newest, grandest, and most pompous heist of the century, which he would pull off…he just had to figure out how.

Eddie stood up abruptly.

His "home"(if you could call it that, the place was little more than a few walls thrown together with a door and a ceiling on top) was hardly the ideal environment for his plotting. No, if he wanted to get any work done, he'd do what he sometimes did when he wanted to think of something brilliant- go for a drive.

After all, there was such a thing as thinking too hard, and sometimes even the most brilliant of mind's (his, obviously) could do with a little distraction.

And if Gotham's traffic wasn't distraction, he didn't know what was.

A short time later, Eddie was seated in a light green car he'd…acquired, and driving down a back road through Gotham. So far, his little road-trip wasn't doing anything for his mind. He sighed, frustrated. Well, don't think so hard, then! He thought snappishly.

There must be something…

Suddenly he saw a large brown shape in the glare of his headlights.

The Riddler slammed on the brakes, narrowly missing whatever lay in his path.

Pausing a moment to catch his breath after the near catastrophe, Eddie strained his eyes to see what it was. A deer…a dog…and overgrown rabbit?

Cautiously, Eddie kicked open his door and jumped out, rounding the vehicle.

He paused again to let his eyes get used to the bright head-lights.

Bending slightly, he neared the thing in front of the car.

The Riddler's eyes opened.

That was no bunny.

A/N: Oh, dear! What could it be? Like it so far? Let me know! : )
