Coincidences

💚 Request by anon: Can I have a oneshot with "At this rate, we should make a best friends handshake." For the Riddler and yellow lanturn y/n who are having a coincidence streak of launching evil plans on exactly the same days and at this point they're so annoyed by it that they just pause all the evil to go argue like "How?? How?!" "What do you mean how?! I don't know how!" And they end up planning a team up together while kinda sorta complimenting each other cause they both caught feels but are still tsunderes

💛 Dolly’s Note: I’m still a bit on the fence about the ending but when I read this request had a yellow lantern reader, I simply couldn’t resist.

Coincidences.

The exact definition of a coincidence is a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection. Except there was nothing remarkable or casual about these coincidences you’ve been having lately, in fact, if you hadn’t known any better, you’d think that he was doing this just to get on your nerves.

Who are you referring to when you say ‘he’?

Why, The one and only (and incredibly irritating) Riddler of Gotham City!

Earlier this week, you’ve decided that the best way to take down your arch-enemy, Green Lantern, was to kidnap one of his nearest and dearest super buddies and hold him hostage. You had chosen Batman, he seemed to be like the easiest. Underline seemed.

However, it appeared as though he had made many enemies, all of which who wanted the kill or Batman himself all to themselves, and lately, you’ve been having quite a lot of run-ins with The Riddler.

“Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me.” You growled as you heard the doors of the Gotham City library burst open.

“Relax everyone, you all are simply going...hostage…” Edward trailed off, seeing you using your yellow ring to create a yellow construct to keep everyone in the library hostage, his thugs just as equally dumbfounded as him.

“Edward.” You greeted stiffly, looking over your shoulder for your (e/c) eyes to glare into his green ones, “ I swear, at this rate, we should make a best friend's handshake or something because this is getting utterly ridiculous.”

“Agreed,” Edward nodded, “although this wouldn’t happen if you would just stop copying all my plans!”

You rolled your eyes, “Here we go again. Edward, I will make this clear one last time, I do not copy you or your half-assed plans.”

“H-Half-assed?!” Edward repeated indignantly as he stomped over to you, “Listen here, you over-glorified bug zapper-”

Over-glorified bug zapper? Harsh.

“My plans are meticulously thought out from what kind of riddles I’m using to the exact and specific kinds of screws and nails I need to construct my plots!” He sneered.

“And yet, despite how meticulous of a planner you are, Batman always seems to have a way to stop you.”

“As if you’re one to talk,” He responded, “don’t forget that the only reason that you even came to Gotham was because you couldn’t take down one simple man whose ring is supposed to be weaker than yours.” “I feel as if you’re down-playing my strife,” You frowned, raising an eyebrow, “Well, two can play at that game Mr. “I was beaten by multiple little kids in tights.”

“Those boys were mericeless and the girl was just flat-out rude!” The Riddler defended, his face becoming red.

You stared at him dumbfoundedly before laughing a little at his quite flimsy retort, still, you couldn’t but think that it was kinda cute...in a pitiful sort of way. Your poor hostages watched as both you and Edward went back and forth with each other, shouting one insult to reminding the other of one of their most embarrassing failures, until an idea suddenly hit you.

“Edward wait-” You tried to speak but he cut you off.

“AND ANOTHER THING: Yellow is not your color!” He shouted.

You looked at him in shock for a bit before crossing your arms over your chest and gave him the most severe glare that he had ever seen in his life.

“What did you just say?” You growled, daring him to repeat it.

Luckily, Edward was a smart man, and he knew better than to repeat his words to you.

“Um, what were you going to say?” He asked, trying to change the subject.

You narrowed your eyes at him a bit more before deciding to let it go. For now.

“I was saying that we should propose a team-up,” You said slowly to calm your voice down. The Riddler only crossed his arms over his chest and raised an eyebrow, “A team-up?”

“Precisely.” You confirmed.

“And what makes you think that I’d want to team up with you of all people?” He frowned.

“Dear Edward, why wouldn’t you want to partner up with me?” You asked him, now starting to circle around him, “We both know that with or without my ring, I am a rather useful ally, plus, you may be too narcissistic to admit it but I am your intellectual equal.”

He looked at you, his expression stoic and unreadable as his green eyes continued to look into your (e/c) eyes, you continued to look at him with that sly smirk of yours, which he hated but at the same time, it suited you.

In a bastard kind of way.

“You’re right.” He finally said.

“Hah, I knew you were going to say that but face the facts, Edward, I am- Wait, what did you say?” You asked him, unsure if you heard him right. He rolled his eyes before walking up to you, “You’re right, I said. You are...the closest thing to my intellectual equal. Cherish those words, Dear (Y/n), because this is the only time that I will say them to you.”

You smirk soon softened, or perhaps Edward’s eyes were deceiving him, but he swore that there was something genuine in there. Little did he know, his face also seemed to soften and was closely moving to yours.

“Uh...Boss, what do we do with the hostages?” One thug asked, breaking the trance that you were both in.

“I don’t know!” Edward frowned before looking at you, “They’re your hostages, after all.”

You shrugged, “I could honestly care less, it was a trap for Batman, but it’s quite obvious that we have more important things to discuss. Like how this partnership will work, for example.”

He nodded his head in understanding as he extended his arm to you. You looked at him suspiciously, raising an eyebrow, but he only flashed you a charming grin which made you eventually cave in and link his arm with yours. Then, the two of you eventually exited the library

“Well, first off, I propose that we look over and go through your plans to see which one will have the most success against Batman and I can find a way to incorporate Green Lantern’s demise.” You explained.

“Don’t think that you can start calling the shots in my city, (Y/n).” The Riddler reminded.

“Well, you’re utterly crazy if you think I’m letting you call the shots, Edward, you may be clever but I feel as though I should be the one to direct this operation.” You explained. He only raised an eyebrow towards you, “You realize that that totally defeats the term ‘partnership’, right?”

“I just meant that I can perhaps contribute something new to your plans? After all, I’ve been across the galaxy more times than I can count and I have picked up a few...interesting ideas.” You finished ominously.

It was funny, really, that Edward kept forgetting that you went to space. That you had adventures out in the cosmos and he’d be lying if he said that it didn’t wake up a certain childish giddiness in him.

“Well, I might have to hear those ideas,” He said, “and perhaps a few extra stories about your visits throughout the galaxy?”

You looked up at him and raised an eyebrow before looking forward, “Perhaps.”

So maybe the first two or three coincidences were annoying and tedious for you and Edward but you were now thinking that if there were perhaps more than just simple coincidences. Maybe it was fate or destiny, either way, you can tell that this partnership was going to lead to a lot of good things for both of you.
