Who: Enigma (OPEN)
What: Having Coffee
When: July 28th, 2012
Where: Coffee Shoppe
Rating: TBD

Enigma sighed, resting her chin against her hand as she stirred her iced coffee, watching the whipped cream slowly dissolve into the overly chocolatey drink.

Colligo was so...boring. There was hardley any excitement and the bits she did create grew boring fast. Damien was off chasing his little slut, Darcy was...doing something that wasn't with her, Matt was ignoring her, Tony was patronizing her and no one had even bothered to call her out for beating Jonathan's little brat almost to death.

Seriously, who did she have to kill to get some attention in this town?

She suddenly missed Gotham fiercely, where one only had to send a pretty riddle or kidnap a kid and suddenly you would have most of the GCPD and Bat Family swooping down on you, reporters in tow.

It was all so...bland here. Designed to make the kidnapee's get along...as much as they could.

She would rather poke her eye out with a dull stick.

She gave another heavy sigh, before grabbing the cherry from her drink and eating it, plotting in her mind.

	Kristina smiled when she saw a familiar face in the coffee shop. She slipped into the seat next to her and gave a friendly smile. "Hey it's Enigma, right?" She wasn't so great with names but here she had only met a couple people anyway. "Why so sad?" She ordered the biggest drink they had with as many shots of expresso they would allow her.

	"Not sad, bored," Enigma said, nodding at the name. "How did your meeting with Doctor Idiot go? He get you what you needed?" She asked, watching the other girl as she took a sip of her coffee from the straw she had been using to stir it, interested in her friend being sane and not wigging out from withdrawal.

"Oh I keep hearing that, but to me it seems interesting. You know sometimes I get glimpses,like dreams. Almost as if I have been here before."

Kristina didn't think she would be asked about him. Looking down she stirred her coffee, chewing on the straw she finally replied. "It, um, went well. I got more than I bargained for!" Her
eyes glanced around the room as she bit her lip nervously.Doctor Idiot? That is an odd way to speak of him. She wasn't going to defend him to her, just wasn't the time, not yet.

	"Mm, just remember not to trust him. He's not a nice man and would hurt you without a thought," Enigma warned, shaking a stirring stick at Kristina before smiling at her. "And it is rather boring when you have no job and no one pays attention to you. I feel almost like I have to blow something up some days to get someone to notice," (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kristina heard the warning but it didn't sink in. She laughed at the stick and nodded. "I will remember your warning." Licking her lips she sighed at the snow falling. "I have no job, not many people pay attention to me, and I noticed you." If Bree wasn't satisfied she would have made that sound flirty. Kristina was just that friendly type of girl. "So where do you come from?"

"Gotham City, New York," she said, twirling her straw around again. "Well, I was born and raised in Boston, but I was in Gotham when I was taken, trying to find my father,"

She glanced over at the girl and snorted, doubting Kristina had ever read a comic book in her life, and they probably weren't from the same universe, which meant who she was would still be a mystery to the girl.

Kristina perked at the name and a smile hit her lips. "Oh my God, Gothem City! Like the Gothem City? From Batman?" Her eyes lit up and she reached across the table to take the girls hand. "That is so cool, I met someone else from there the other night!."

She regained herself and pulled her arm back. "Sorry about that." Not really knowing why she made a scene. Her heart was fluttering with excitement but she hid it. "I am sorry about your dad, did you know him?

Enigma leaned back out of the woman's space, making a cross out of swizzle sticks. "Wow, down fan-girl." she ordered, before snickering. "Yes, that Gotham, with Batman. My father is Edward Nigma, goes by the name The Riddler, I doubt you know him," she said, waving her hand in dismissal. "And no, I didn't know him, not really. I know his name and who he is as a public persona, but personally...not yet. That's why I went to Gotham. I wanted to really know him, not just the man whom appeared on a screen taunting Batman and the Police."

Kristina thought for a moment then replied "No, I know of him." She still didn't understand that other places like that exist. "So you are the darker side of Gothem." Reaching out she went to grasp the girls hand but changed her mind. "I bet he is an amazing man, and he would be lucy to know you. I wonder why so many different people are kidnapped and brought here to live together." She didn't want to get too sappy so she probed. "Well what's your talent?"

Enigma rolled her eyes and reached out, taking Kristina's hand. "Murder and theft," she said. "Though I'm also a daft hand at technology, mostly hacking and computer crimes, but what do you except from the daughter of a man who made his career off making technology kill?" she said, smirking a bit at the thought.

"Unlike Doctor Crane," she bit out the name, disgust lacing every inch of it. "I don't have a gimmick, I'm simply a girl trying to make her way. I've had to steal some of dad's old shtick to make a name for myself,"

Enigma then blinked. "Wait, yous aid you met one of us from Gotham, you do know who you're little boyfriend is, don't you?"

The words wrapped around her but she wasn't surprised, not really. "I figured it would be something along those lines." Her hand was warm and she didn't flinch or pull away, Bree was craving attention inside of her.

"Gimmick?" She froze, something wasn't right, he had been honest with her. "What gimmick, and I don't think you are that simple." Her words challenged and questioned her.

Kristina panicked at the look on her friends face across the table. "Yes one plus you makes two." She giggled since it rhymed but then became serious. Not one muscle moved in her body as she responded to the question. "No I didn't ask, and it's complicated, he isn't my boyfriend." Her tone had a don't push it tone and her eyes showed the same. "I never asked you who he was, and you sent me to him." Chewing on the end of her straw her tone went soft and the fury left. If you defend him, she will know.

"He's the Scarecrow, Master of Fear and all that rot? Been punched in the head a few too many times by Batman...surely you've heard of him as well. No emotions, no heart, just cold and calculating. Sees everyone as experiments to his drugs." Enigma said.

Yes, she had sent Bree towards the man, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to trash him every chance she got. One day, he would simply roll over and die like a good puppy.

The words hit her like a ton of bricks and her face showed every bit of it. Choking on her coffee she opened her mouth to say something and snapped it shut. "I just didn't do the math, but it adds up." She didn't have to say what happened or how she felt. Felt, she felt something for him didn't she. "I think there is more to him than that." She pretended to just talk about him not connecting emotion to it. "Well I guess Gothem is here, that seems to be the only thing that makes sense." She was teasing to take the attention off of her, while her insides were dizzy.

"Oh honey, there's nothing more to him. He's good at pretending, manipulating, twisting you around until you believe him, but inside...he's as empty as a doll. Hell he can't even get off without thinking of fear. I do not want to know what was going through his mind when he slept with Justin, poor kid. And the sad fact is he's falling for him, never realizing Crane's just using him to get what he wants before he destroys the boy's brain like Jeremiah's."

She shrugged, sipping her drink. "There are quite a few of us here, though not as many from my side as I'd like. Too many do-gooders and turn coats like Harley and Selina"

The words killed her each and every one of them. Her eyes narrowed and she shook her head. Knowing that she was giving too much away but it hurt to much to hold down. "There is more to him than that, and if he did hurt someone he had a reason to." She relaxed some the girl across the table might know that side of him, who was she to call her wrong. "I just think that he acted like such a gentleman with my supply." It was a bad cover up but she didn't want to hide from her friend either.

"I haven't met either of them, who is Selina? Oh, hey do you know a Jason Todd?" All of her questions ran together and she laughed, sure she overwhelmed the poor girl.

"There's no reason for tearing a nine-year-old's mind apart," Enigma hissed, putting on a good show of being offended, even though she herself had just tried to beat little ten-year-old Hannah to death.

Honestly, kids!

"Selina Kyle, Catwoman, and Harley would be Harley Quinn. Like I said, there are a lot of us here. And I know Jason a bit, mostly by reputation. I'm more from Damien, er, Robin's generation then Red Hood. Mm, but I wouldn't mind fucking either of them over a table. Too bad they have no interest in bad girls...makes me adore Matt all the more, he can appreciate a lady, even for a blind man."

Bree tensed and awoke with a ton of fury towards the girl. Kristina tried all she could to push it down. "No I do believe you are correct about that." She wasn't sure what happened or why but she wasn't going to pick at a wound.

"Wow, that is a lot of you guys. Well I met Jason at a bar, you, then well, er, Jonathan." She stuttered out picking at her cup label. Standing she went beside the girl and took her hands pulling gently. "Let's go somewhere not so public."

"Oh darling, you have no idea," Enigma said, grabbing her purse and coffee, tugging Katrina out of the shoppe once she was sure she had her belongings. "There's Jason, Matt, and Damien, then there's Tony whom I'm still working on despite the fact he's older then dirt and just as dense, Loki, but he shot me down, let's see," she trailed off, trying to remember just whom she had and hadn't flirted with yet.

"Huh, I could have swore there was more, how odd, I must be losing my touch," she said before shrugging, taking a sip of her coffee. "Matt's the only one who has potential for anything more then a quick fuck or a friends with benefits thing. There's just...something about him. Maybe the fact he's willing to stand up to me without being a jerk..."

Kristina opened her mouth as the list went on and on. "I do good to meet four friends and here you are racking up." She blushed and looked down "I didn't mean it like that." Her list was large of whom she had slept with but she didn't mention it.

"Maybe not your touch, just your memory ran out of room." She laughed picking up soft snow and tossing it over Enigma's head. "It really sounds like you like him. I don't see why every guy isn't fighting over you." It was a polite compliment and she was serious about it.

"Well, I haven't been with them all. Trust me, that list is a LOT longer, considering most of my henchmen are on it...and some of dad's. That's my soon to screw list." She blushed almost as red as her hair as Kristina mentioned liking Matt. "I adore him," she confessed. "He's just...incredible. A skilled fighter, brilliant, hot as hell."

She then sighed. "They just...don't like me. Some of it is my past, some of it is my name, and the rest...I just don't know. Matt flirts but he's never made a move, Tony I don't think even gets that I'm flirting with him, Damian's pissed at me because we kissed due to the mistletoe and Jason...is Jason. He's insane."

She glanced at Kristina with a pout. "Whatever happened to the days when all the guys wanted was a hot girl with a good rack? Now we have to have morals and values and other bullshit,"

Her heart broke for her found friend and she wrapped her arms around her tightly. "I believe that list wont ever be completely from the sounds of it." Kristina understood what it meant for fall for someone, but she also knew the feeling of falling for someone while having to flirt with others. "He sounds amazing, and I bet he knows how you feel, maybe even feels the same way." She kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"A lot of people here don't like anyone, and if they are from your home well their stupid. I don't see what's not to like maybe your taste needs to be upgraded." Her words were light to keep the mood up. She remembered the time when a girl just had to look pretty, she remembered before the monster. "Things change, guys don't know what they want. I believe there is one other person out there for someone, and it's just a sick game playing until you find them."

	"I doubt that," she said, referring to the one person for everyone. "But it's nice to think," she said with a sigh, pulling Kristina close, locking their arms together. "So, who do you have your eye on in this crazy town?" she asked, nudging her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kristina doubted the same thing but at least with some hope she could keep looking. "It's nice to think..." She repeated leaning in against her. Biting her lip she looked into the distance "I, uh, well, um... Can't say." She hated herself for not being able to gossip about how twisted she really was, and how she felt for him. "But you're cute!" She was at least good at brushing off intense moments with laughter.

	"Yes, thank you, I am aware of that," she said dryly before pinching Kristina's hip. "Why can't you tell me? I told you my long list and even revealed my feelings for Matt, which I so shouldn't have done." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kristina knew that Enigma would eventually get the information out of her, and she cared for the girl. With one more try she attempted "I really can't tell you, plus it's one out of four people I know." If she made it obvious she wouldn't have to say it. If she didn't say it, it wasn't real. "I kind of have a thing for that sick doctor you hate so much." Her voice held defeat.
