What demands an answer, but asks no question?
....
A telephone.
And I'm not here to answer mine so please leave a message at the sound of the beep.

It blows my mind that the guy I know is very sweet and gentle with me, likes trivia and is GREAT at eating pussy and making sure I'm always satisfied.
And then you do all that other stuff.

You can tell me anything.

[whatam_i]

I guess I'm just a multitalented and multilayer individual.
:)

Okay.
I was worried about upsetting you, I know you're close to your Mom.

[hawk_shot]

That's an understatement, lol.
Have you ever got an answer wrong?

I was upset. Still am.
But not with you.

[whatam_i]

You mean to a riddle?

That's why I was worried, I didn't want to hurt you.
He said that I was disrespecting you by not telling you, do you think that is true?

[hawk_shot]

To trivia.
I already know you got one riddle wrong.

You didn't want me shooting the messenger, huh?

[That's strangely sweet coming from the Riddler. Sure, she doesn't like him guilt-tripping Ed. But in a weird, he's showing he cares.

Isn't he?]

Maybe 'disrespecting' is a strong word.

[whatam_i]

Oh, uh not that I remember.
I did not!!

No, it wasn't that. I just didn't want you to get hurt. I like you and don't want things to upset you.

I'm sorry.

[hawk_shot]

And you never signed up for a gameshow??
Just accept that the lady got you, Ed.

... So, even though you'd knew you'd rather keep me... Not knowing the things my mom was doing behind my back?

[Maybe Riddler had a point.]

It would have hurt way more if I'd found out that you knew and that you had not told me about it.

[whatam_i]

No. [It was more fun to host one....]
You did not! That wasn't a real riddle.

Well no.
I didn't want that either! I just wanted to protect you.

[hawk_shot]

That's a shame, you would have nailed it so hard.
Why not? It was a super valid clue.

I'd rather have your support.
Like you support me right now.

[whatam_i]

Well yes, of course. I would have won.
It wasn't! There was no indication of the answer in your riddle. You were just being purposely cute and trying to baffle me.

Okay.
I'm sorry, Kate.

[hawk_shot]

You would have been super popular with that.
Oh, cmon. How was mine worse than the frog in a blender one?

That's ok, you don't have to apologize.
You're here for me now.

...
And thank you too, Riddler.

[whatam_i]

I doubt that.
Because it just is.

[There's a pause between messages.]

You're welcome.

[hawk_shot]

Every one likes people who nails game shows. It's sad, but I think you would have been way more popular.
You sound like a boy.
I can almost see you pout. 😜

[She's not sure if that's the other him, specially not through text, but she is going to address him.]

I'm sorry if I was rude.
I was probably rude. And taking it out on you.

[whatam_i]

That show would have been too easy a win for me.

Perhaps a little but it's fine, I expected that reaction.

[hawk_shot]

And you never thought about signing up?

I still suck.
You were looking after me.

[whatam_i]

No.

I wouldn't say that but apology accepted if it will make you feel better.
You have to be careful tomorrow, Kate.

[hawk_shot]

What about your video games? You ever played online?

Let's call it a deal then.
... I know. Clint himself had been telling me he was afraid of someone getting involved. He was talking about Fisk too.

[whatam_i]

Sometimes, yes.

All right.
Fisk is very dangerous, not only is he huge but he's intelligent. He finds people's weak spots and exploits them.

[hawk_shot]

Maybe we can play sometime together too.

I still can't believe mom was so stupid she decided to get involved with someone like him. Or that she could ever try to get someone killed.
I don't know how, but I'm gonna deal with her mess.
Get this done.

[whatam_i]

I'd like that.

People do stupid things when they're desperate, maybe he backed her into a corner or threatened to hurt you unless she accepted.

[hawk_shot]

I'd like that too.

She could have come to me. But she threatened Clint's life instead.
What if she heard about you?
She could have asked Fisk to hunt you down.

[whatam_i]

Fisk wouldn't have come to Gotham, it's not his city.

[hawk_shot]

Right.
There's codes between criminals.

No offense.

[whatam_i]

There are, especially when you get up to that level.

[hawk_shot]

I wanna ask you something and that I have better chances of finding an answer with you than with Ed.

You said that Fisk exploits people's weak points.
Do you think you can tell which ones are mine?
