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.

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?

[whatam_i]

Of course.

[hawk_shot]

And that is...?

[whatam_i]

Your heart, your impatience and your over confidence.

[hawk_shot]

My heart?

[whatam_i]

You care about people and animals.
That's easy to exploit or use against you.

[hawk_shot]

So it would be better if I face him on my own?

[whatam_i]

Only if you have an actual plan and leverage against him.

If you just crash in there expecting to win you'll most likely die.

[hawk_shot]

.... Okay.

I guess... The trick arrows and Clint's experience are enough of a plan, right?

[whatam_i]

Honestly?
No.

[Is this how she works?! How is she still alive??]

[hawk_shot]

[Remember that over confindence you mentioned, Riddler?]

I'm gonna make it work.
Hell, I might not even face him tomorrow. I just
I don't know, I'm gonna get my mom out of danger.
And if he shows up, I'm going to make it work.

[whatam_i]

If you get an opportunity to take him out, I suggest you do so.

[hawk_shot]

As in killing him?

[whatam_i]

I know you're against it so no, but you don't have to kill someone to incapacitate them.

[hawk_shot]

OH
Yeah, that would be so much better. So, so much better.

... Thank you for taking that in account.

[whatam_i]

You're welcome.

[hawk_shot]

You meant it, right?
When you said you wanted to spend a night with me.

[whatam_i]

Yes, I meant it.

[hawk_shot]

All the more reasons to make it out in one piece tomorrow, huh?

[whatam_i]

An interesting but also rather flattering choice of motivation.

I have the security for that venue all connected to my system by the way, all you have to do tomorrow is text me and I can kill the power and re-route security cameras.
Just pick a code word and it's good to go.

[hawk_shot]

Hey, it's a win-win.

Already??
What am I asking, of course you've already got it covered.
I'm guessing 'green' is the most accurate code word to get this going?

[whatam_i]

Of course, it was easy.
Green works or simply:
✅

[hawk_shot]

So very practical of you.
Mr Riddler?
THE Riddler? Just Riddler?

[whatam_i]

Riddler is fine.

[hawk_shot]

Riddler then.

Aren't your criminal friends going to mess with you if they hear you've had a date with a hero?
