Gotham Riddler x reader x Penguin episode 1

 Long time no see (Part 1)

A deep sight escaped from you as a nostalgic feeling began to slowly fit in your heart. You were walking through the Gotham city once again, after a very long time. Your attention was distracted between the many buildings, the people who were passing by or even, the many stores that seemed gran new to your eyes.

Have been born in Gotham you had learned your way through the streets. Since the biggest part of the city has been explored by you from your early childhood years. And even now, you had reached the (your age), you could remember your way almost around every area just fine.

Never knew parents and been left with your dear grandmother to live with, once the only person who has been left from your family passed away, you decided it was finally the right time to make a long trip away from your born place. You had succeeded, you were satisfied with yourself since you managed to make this dream come true.

And now alone yet pretty excited, you made your return in order to make a new start. You didn't felt all alone though, one more reason for your return was the hope to see a truly dear person you had met once there to the most random timing. And had the luck to meet his son too who caught your interest since then.

Maybe you could see him again as well, however, the loud music that hit into your ears finally made you snap from your thoughts and glance up to the big lighting sigh that looked like the sketch of an ice mountain and a cute umbrella to the right side. You cloud also see the club's name 'The Iceberg Lounge'.

"Hmm..." You hummed to yourself in curiosity and a sly smile barely appeared to the corners of your lips as you noticed the guard who was standing before the big double door wasn't paying the necessary attention and skillfully you sneaked in with no problem.

With playful yet smooth movements of your feet, you moved between the people who were drinking, dancing, or simply talking with each other as the colorful lights from the big disco ball were falling upon them. Just then, a quite familiar voice made your ears perked up a bit, and without a second thought, you passed between the people who were standing in your way, before you had asked them politely to move aside.

Tapping sounds of a cane could be heard against the sine floor of the dance stage. The man know as Oswald Cobblepot walked between the public while glancing around. His hand reached up to correct the monocle over his right-damaged blue eye.

After a 'business' talk he had with some of his fellows, a tired sight escaped from his pointy nose. All he wanted was to get back to his mansion. Some rest and a nice hot meal are exactly what he desperately needs after a long day.

However, those thoughts faded away once the person who crossed against him made the slight fat man almost lose his balance and make some clumsy back steps to avoid falling down. "Whaat the hell?!"

You couldn't see pretty clear and gasped when you suddenly bumped against someone's chest. Your expression turned into one full of shock and confusion once you glanced up to him.  "Oz....is that you?"

“...(N-Name)?” His voice came out almost in a whisper, lips slightly parted and eyes wide open from the shock and pure surprise Oswald felt when he scanned the person with his gaze and recognized who they actually were. Suddenly the loud music seemed to silent down and the people on the dance floor slowly disappearing as if none was there but only you and himself. No matter how many years had passed since then, he could still bring the moment of your first and only meeting so clear to his mind.
