Can i get a battinson x reader where the reader is kidnapped by the riddler because the riddler is yandere for the reader. He keeps her for months and batman is trying to find the reader but can't. One day he finds the reader and batman captures her because she keeps running away from him but he needs info about the riddler. He tends to her wounds and falls in love with her and asks her to stay. Alfred becomes her dad to and just fluff of him comforting her even though she's scared a lil. TYSM!!
Really really sorry for the long wait! But it's here now <3 I hope you love it, and maybe even turn out as you expected.. :)
This idea was just *chef kiss* ISTG you all have so many beautiful and lovely ideas!

TW!: Very brutal and maybe a bit graphic? What I mean is breaking bones in detail, and violence if you squint. Gaslighting, manipulation, toxic and abusive "relationship", trauma/panic attack if you squint.

Note: It's funny I wrote 'Running up that hill' and then Stranger Things S4 came out lmao. I didn't even know about the song until ST 4 came LDAD but now I'm addicted to it.

“My dear..” his voice gave her chills. “Trying to escape again? I taught you better than this,”
“I’m sorry..I’m sorry..” she begged and cried, “I didn’t mean to..”
‘I just wanted to go home..I just…’ How did it even come to this? How long has it been since she has seen the outside of this bird cage?
He kneels to her eyes level, hand stroking her cheek making her flinch, “I just wants the best for you, please know that..”
“You made me do this, this is all for you..” It scared her how his voice was so soft, yet the malice from him was clear.
She prepared for any punishment handed out to her as she begged someone to set her free.
Anyone..
–
“Months, Alfred, months, she has been missing for months. Along with Riddler.”
Bruce huffs frustrated, “She is a curcial key yet not once has she been seen nor found.”
“Do you really think she might be riddler’s accomplice?” Alfred puts the tea beside him.
“Riddler has no reason to kidnap a person like that, unless to mess with me. But there has been no sign of her, no hostage threats or anything – so there is a slight chance–”
“Well, commissioner Gordon might be a bit of help,”
“What?”
“He is waiting for you upstairs, it’s about Y/N L/N.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” He chugs down the tea, quickly dashing upstairs.
“You never let me get the chance too,” Alfred sighs, following pursuit.
–
Hours has passed and all she felt was numb, tears has dried and the aches semmed to have faded.
She hugged her knees, as she was locked in the room, ankle chanied making her unable to leave.
Maybe she was doomed to be like this forever? Was this really her fate?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt the taste of despair. But deep down, a small fuel still burned and longed for any chance to run, to get out of here.
Maybe she should just wait, act like a good girl so he can let his guard down, and then she can strike.
Yet, the toxictiy in her minds seemed to differ. Maybe it was for the best, Gotham is indeed dangerous. She has seen it’s ugly side, and how uglier it can get. Maybe it was indeed the best for her, after all if she is good he won’t harm her. She just need to..
The sound of someone breaking through some doors, could be heard.
‘What..?’ She looks up, ‘What’s happening..?’
Her breathing quickens, it couldn’t be Edward, he was already out for business and wouldn’t come back for awhile. But what if this was some sick morbid joke to make her scared of escaping? To fear the outside, to prove how dangerous and brutal Gotham is?
The sound grew louder, and louder, closer and closer. Until it reached hers.
“Eep!” She coward for a second or two, before quickly thinking of a way to get out here.
“RIDDLER!” the voice booms from the other side. It was deep, it was stern.
“Y/N L/N!” it yells again, trying to bust down the door.
The person behind that door wasn’t riddler, no, his voice was way to deep.
Then who could it be?
‘Now is not the time to think about that!’ She scolded as she looked around for a way out.
Was it such a time where she wished Edward was here, just like now?
Fear and aderline kept rising, it’s a good thing Edward made that door a tad bit stronger, or else they would have busted through that door the second they hitted it.
“...!”
Her eyes landed on a window beside her, a sense of relief, she scanned around the empty room, looking for some sort of way to break the chains. But to her despair, there was none.
“Y/N!” A hole was made through that door, it won’t last much longer.
Panicked she tried to free herself, yanking at the chains around her ankel in hopes that it would break.
CRACK!
The sound of a bone breaking could be heard, and she screamed in pain.
The person stopped for a moment, before they continued, much faster and stronger.
The sound of the chains breaking was like music to her ears, and she crawled back towards the window just as the door bursts opened.
The man before her was wearing some sort of suit looking like a bat, his eyes pierving through her.
Gotham is dangerous my dear, there are so many people out there seeking to harm you.
Especially the man in a batsuit.
Don’t trust him, don’t trust any of them.
They just want to harm you, they are no good for you, if only you knew their evil deeds.
It’s ok, I’ll protect you from them.
I love you.
I love you, my sweet little angel.
His sweet whispers of lies sang in her head, eyes starring terrified at the man in the batsuit.
With each steps he took closer to her, the more she back away until she felt the wall hit her back.
The man in the batsuit looked at the chains for a moment, before turning his eyes towards her.
“ Y/N L/N.” He calls out to her.
Y/N looks behind her, noticing she is right under the window, before turning her eyes towards his.
“I believe there is something we need to discuss.”
‘Discuss? is that an excuse to..--’ She didn’t want to think about the last few words.
It’s amazing what a person can do to someone just in a few months. The poison of lies being fed to your brain to the point it becomes the truth.
“I..” Words got stuck in her throat, trembling and having no other choice, she slids out of the window. Afterall she doesn’t want to be in pain anymore, and the damage of the fall will only be temporarily. At least that’s what she told herself.
“...!” The man reaches towards her, hands barely grasping as she fell further down.
“DAMN IT!” He yells, the window was obviously to small for him to slip out like she did, if so, he had to take off his suit – something he can’t afford to do. So, not having much option he dashed to get outside.
Coordinating her body right, she landed on her feets and legs, breaking both of them.
“AAGH!” tears slid down from the unbearable pain, masked with the heavy rain of Gotham.
She had landed in an allyway, and having no choice she dragged her body somewhere.
Somewhere far away from the person, from him.
And it was impressive how far she had gotten that it took a quite a while for the man to catch up until another man stood before her, gun pointing at her.
“Stand–!”
‘Ah, he must have called for back up or some sort…I’m doomed..’
Her breathing became heavy and the man seemed to lower his gun at the sight of her state. Horrified and concerned is a way to decribe his expression.
“You..” He began, but ended at that as he remained speechless as he was probably not expecting this situation, “What the hell did he do to you?”
Bruises, marks, cuts, scars and bandages decorated and littered all over her body.
“Broke me.” She answered a smile on her face despite the tears.
She felt someone pull against them, knocking her unconscious as she tried to struuggle with all the energy she barely had left.
–
Y/N found herself on the floor as soon as she woke up, trying to crawl, to drag her body away from this unkown place.
With the stone cold walls, it looked like a cave. Yet there wasn’t any dirt nor rocks beneath her, it was actually a sturdy floor.
When she had opened her eyes seconds ago, she was sitting in a hostpital dialysis bed.
Panicked, as memories of the past with Edward kicked in, her first instinct was getting away.
She remembered it, that day when hell had just begun.
–
“Oh, you’re finally awake!” His cheery voice rang in her dizzy state.
“Where..”
“Our home!” He chriped, Ah, my love at last, I can finally have you all for myself.”
“Nobody is going to take you away from me now...”
Gaining her concious fully she immediatly panicked. She was strapped against a bed-like chair.
“There is no need to panic, no need to fear. I’m here, and only me here..”
He stroked her hair, “And you’re safe here with me, I’ll protect you..”
In a quick movement, she bit his hand making him yank his hand back, backing away a bit.
“How dare you! After all the things I did for you!”
“For me?! How is this for me?! I don’t even know who you are!”
It was stupid the ask him to let her go, she knew it.
As looking into his eyes, a deep sense of twisted love, no, obsession, painted them – telling her he won’t let her go. Her freedom had been stolen from a single person.
It’s scary how easy it is, with just a flick of hand.
She shut her mouth, fear kicked in at his glare.
What happened? She was so brave a moment ago, but just a gaze like this, she felt chills.
“There is no helping it, everyone has to learn something right?” His grip around his hand tightened. And she gulped.
First day, the first punishments.
–
“Don’t move.” An icy voice rang, “Unless you want me to tie you down.”
She flinched. And the voice behind her, picked her up and placed her back on the dialysis bed.
Dark brown hair, newly shaved with dark eyeshadow and piercing blue eyes. His body language seemed like someone who is stoic and stern.
And in a weird sense of way, he was handsome. Maybe she would have thought he was more devilishly handsome hadn’t it been for him being her capture.
“Please let me go..” She whispered a plea.
“I will, once I get the information I need from you.” He tended her wounds making her hiss, “So start talking.”
“What information..?”
“About the Riddler,”
Her breathing hitched, “I.. don’t know..”
“You disappeared with him for a few months, and you’re telling me that there’s–” He stopped in mid-sentence.
It didn’t take a genius like him to understand her expression. Horrified, frightened.
“I didn’t go with him, he..” her breathening quickened,
‘Oh god what if he founds out I’m here? What would he do? what..’
“I need to go..! Please let me go!” She began screaming,
No matter where you run, I’ll always find you, we are meant to be, this is fate..
“If he finds me...if he..”
Trying to run away again? What did I say about this? What did I teach you regarding this?
“Hey, breathe!” His voice snapped her out of her thoughts.
Seeing her breathing slowing down he began, “He isn’t going to find you, you’re safe here.”
She didn’t utter a word. Tears stained her cheeks.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way. I should have known better,”
“It’s nothing.” Her voice was flat.
His lips formd into a thin line as he continued to patch her up, without another word uttered.
–
Bruce.
Bruce Wayne was his name, hiding behind that fearful mask.
He had offered her to stay here in sake of her her safety, to which, without really knowing why. She agreed and accepted it.
Maybe because she feared what would happened if she rejected the offer, considering she was taught to accept. And accept.
But days went by, she felt hostile yet so peaceful, conflicted.
She hadn’t felt this in awhile.
This safety, this warmth, the tender of his care. But that’s what scared her, having forgotten what it was like, used to the opposite, it didn’t feel safe either.
Y/N strolls through the garden in a wheelchair with Alfred beside her, his butler.
“You got an appointment with the physical therapist next monday.”
“Ah, right. My legs are better now, right?” Her voice was quiet, scared if it was any higher, she would be punished, but despite her wrong doings during her stay, never once was she punished, nor yelled at.
Bruce tone may have been sharp at times, yes, but it had always been like that. And after awhile his tone grew more gentle, learning quickly that sharp tones scares her.
“Sort of, but due to not having walked for days or months, walking and moving your legs would be no simple tasks.”
Y/N laughs at that, “I guess so. Sorry it was stupid.”
“Nothing is stupid, miss.”
She smiles at that, the feeling of reassurance floods in.
Something she had missed.
Something she used to get from her dad.
But he was no longer here to fill that tasks, nor any of her family members.
In a strange sense of way, Alfred and Bruce was all that she had left now.
“Everything is going to be alright, miss..” Alfred carefully puts a hand on her shoulder.
“Thanks, Alfred..”
They strolled around for a moment, comfortable silence took place.
“It’s pretty…” Y/N suddenly spoke up.
“Do you like them?”
She smiles softly, “Yes, lilies somehow gives me comfort, especially poppies.”
Alfred didn't question it, mumbling out a,
“I see,”
And thus they both stood there in awhile admiring the flowers as the gentle breeze passes by.
–
Soon after, she grew more and more closer to them, feeling more comfortable.
“Therapy session was great!” Y/N began to tell Bruce on how it went, not only with physical therapy, but with normal therapy as well, as they strolled down the street. Her eyes sparkling so bright, brighter than before.
Bruce felt a ting of warmth soothe through at that. At how lively she looked, at how lovely she looked. Her smile brightens his surrounding, the way her eyes shines –
His sun in life. She was his sun in life.
And that warmth continued to grow and radiate each day.
As soon as she finishes, Bruce chuckles and ask if he could quickly excuse himself.
Y/N felt nervous, scared, her smile falter.
‘No, no..keep smiling’ He had a strong urge to say it, the thought became intense.
“I’ll be close by, and I’ll be quick.”
She fidgets not answering.
“Y/N look at me,”
“...”
“Please look at me..”
She looks up, meeting his blue orbs.
“Can you believe me when I say it’s safe?” There it was again, his tenderness.
“But what if..”
“He wouldn’t be stupid enough to do it in such a public place like this,”
“He is crazy enough,”
“Okay,” He breathes, “I won’t leave then. We’ll go there together.”
She blinked, “huh?” She didn’t expect for him to give in so easily. Usually he would discuss until earth ended. That was how stubborn he was.
Without an answer Bruce takes the wheelchair, pushing her through the street, the speed was fast.
“Bruce?”
“Bruce!”
Her laughter echoes in his ears, and yet again he felt the warmth seeping through.
He wanted this. Exactly this. Her happiness, for her to stay happy.
It felt like her happiness was also his.
If she’s happy, then so is he.
–
“Here you go,” The florist hands him a boquet of lilies.
“Who are these for?” Y/N felt a sting in her heart, the strange bitterness flooded, they replaced the bliss she just felt a moment ago.
‘Is he seeing someone? I mean he has been out a lot lately, I thought it was because of his jobs. But..what if..’
You and him aren’t meant to be, why are you so disapointed Y/N?
We are meant to be, you and me.
His voice dugged into her ear, each word filled with venom.
“You?”
“Huh?” Y/N looks taken a back as she snaps out of her trance.
“These are for you,” he hands her the boquet,
“You didn’t know? I have always been gifting you flowers, till now.”
“I-i do, but these are different from the ones you gift me. You usually give me poppies.”
“Ah, I thought a change might do.”
Y/N became silent, and time seemed to stop. The sting and the bitterness washed away.
She felt ease, her cheeks getting warmer. She felt happy, a tender smile plastered on her face. She felt so…
“Thank you, Bruce..”
–
Days, months passes by, yet again like a flash, like a flick of a hand.
She and Bruce grew closer, closer more than anyone else. More than Alfred who filled her role as a father figure.
Her feelings are growing stronger each day, every minute with Bruce, every moments, seconds with him.
From baking to road trips.
From road trips to picnics, to a warm day at a beach.
To when she could finally walk. Running up that hill.
She felt so free, so alive. She felt like flying instead of falling.
Flying with him.
And without her knowing, he felt it aswell.
This, this feeling of being alive, to fly high into the sky.
And there were times.
Times where she felt like she was drowning, her past sinking her further down the ocean.
Times where she felt like flying, where she can breahte, where the cold is no longer there.
But, that was what love was – bestowing tough and hard times, but also times where happiness lurks, the feeling of bliss. Together.
Love’s ups and downs –
Together, getting through it together.
“We caught him,” Bruce states, as Y/N cleaned the cut on his cheek after a rough night for him.
“Who?”
“Riddler.”
She flinched, backing slightly away at the mentioning of Edward.
“He..he is…”
“Locked in Arkham Asylum,” Bruce looks up at her, “Are you..”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m fine…” She moves back, returning to clean his wounds.
“I’m sorry I should have..--”
“It’s fine, Bruce. Thank you for telling me sooner than later.”
He takes a hold of her wrists, old scratches decorated it from the past, when she used it as a coping mechanism when she was scared.
He didn’t know why he did that, he just wanted to. He wanted to..
She stops, time stops. And it just felt it was them, just them.
“What now? What do you want to do now?” He breaks the silence.
Close, they were close. If she leaned a bit in, their lips would have connected.
“I don’t know..but I want to pay him a visit.”
Silence filled the place again.
“Wait, you..”
“No,” She cuts in before he could finish, “I just want to face him, to confront him.”
‘So I can move on,
move on with you’
“And here?” He hesitates. He doesn’t want to hear her reply either, his heart was hammering way to much.
“I..” her breathing hitches.
‘I want to stay,’
You’ll just be a bother.
“I don’t know,” She gives a sad smile, “we’ll see..”
He nods, his throat tightens.
He let’s go and she pulls away.
Both missing each others warmth.
“I can get the visit permission from them, but are you sure?”
She packs the first aid kit, “Yeah,” Y/N puts it back on the shelf, “I want to move on. And I believe to do that I need to confront what’s standing in the way, what’s chaining me to the past.”
She felt someone spin her around, the same warmth emitting from her waist. Calloused hands holding her tightly.
“Time.” He said, “is important when healing, when leaving the past.”
Y/N widens her eyes, stunned and flustered.
Although they were close when she was taking care of his wounds, she still felt like butterflies swarming her stomach. Getting the warmth she craved, she missed a second ago.
Him, he was the cause of this. This emotional rollercoaster, like a drug, a drug she wanted more of.
Him, his everything, she wanted his everything, the ugly scars and his flawless ones.
“If you jump too quickly before the time, you’re bound to wound again. So I’m asking you again.” he pauses, “Are you sure about this?”
She gulps, her gaze downwards.
Memories of Edward floods in, and yet again she felt like drowning. But with his warmth she was floating again.
Head out of the water, breathing, barely.
What’s holding her back from coming on land? To safety?
She knew, deep down, to be able to swim, to get to land, she needed to let him go.
To let the past go, to confront. Running has been tiring, and it will always appear again, and again – like an evil cycle by him. And she needed to break it, to break from him. The chains, the toxins in her brain, him.
If she does that then..
She breathes, she looks up at his piercing blue eyes, her hand around his arms.
“I’m sure.”
–
“You’re here..” he lets out like a saviour before him, “you came,”
Y/N silently sat down.
“I’ve been looking for–”
“Edward.” Her voice was cold,
His happy face fell.
“You and I..”
We are meant to be, you and me.
“Are not meant to be.” A statement, a fact.
She wanted to get this done quickly, to get her point across.
“No, no, no..” Edward shakes his head, “you–”
“You’re delusional.” She didn’t let him finish, “All this pain, all the suffering I had to go through. Blaming myself for just wanting to survive, to live, that I clung to you for that.”
“But it’s not my fault. It’s a human nature.” a smile plastered, but not for him, not for Edward, “and he made me realize that.”
He laughs, “I’m not delusional, Y/N! Open your eyes! He doesn’t love you the way I do, the way I’d do anything to keep you by my side, the way I want you to be happy! You and him are not meant to be. You need me, Y/N, you relied on me back then, what changed? WHAT CHANGED? YOU AND HIM..” He slammed his fists onto the table, clearly the thoughts of Bruce and her was like an oil to the fire.
She shakes her head, numbed,
“You’re sick Edward. I don’t need a sick person like you, but clearly and strangely you need me.”
“Y/N..Angel you don’t understand..”
“There is a difference between doing anything to keep a person by their side and doing anything for their happiness.” She stands up,
“Burn in hell, Edward Nigma, I hope you get the taste of pain I once felt when my freedom was taken away from me.”
She puts the phone back, leaving as Edward calls out for her.
And maybe, she was cruel to say that. But even so, even if he really was sick, it doesn’t excuse for the hell he had shown her, the hell she felt with him.
No, it was worse than hell. She would rather be in hell than be with him. Hell was a better place.
Y/N could only wish the same pain, fell upon him as she left the Arkham Asylum, leaving the past behind, and finally moving forward, swimming.
–
Stepping outside she was greeted by the rain. Y/N looks up at the sky, before exiting to the gate.
“How do you feel?” A familiar voice rang in her ear as an umbrella hovered over her head.
She looks up at him, his blue eyes.
“Good..It will take some time, but..” She smiles, “I feel like I can finally move on..”
“That’s good, Y/N, I’m proud and happy for you” Bruce smiles back, a gentle look to him, “Let’s head back before–”
“Bruce..” She interrupts, her breathing shaky.
“Is something wrong?” he grew worried, putting a hand on her shoulder as he looks around for a moment, for any dangers.
And as soon as it seems clear and safe, his gaze went back to her.
“Y/N-”
Y/N’s lips, wet from the rain, clashed against his dry ones – yet to be touched by the rain.
Time stilled. It was just them now, everyhting else vanished to thin air. A moment where every emotions clashed.
She pulled away, but he pulled her closer – not wanting this moment to end.
Their silence, their movements and the way their eyes said the words, they understood;
The way their heart was beating for each other.
–
Y/N flutters her eyes open as she heards the curtains open.
“Good morning you two,” Alfred greets, “It’s 12’ clock, lunch is downstairs.”
She hears Bruce groan beside her, dragging her down with him as she sat up.
“A little longer..”
“20 minutes or you’ll get leftovers.” Alfred leaves.
“He is really overprotective of you,” Bruce mumbles, “He has known me since I was a kid, yet he lectures me on how to treat you right, thinking somehow I’ll hurt you. I think my back burns everytime he sees us, or me touch you ever since yesterday.”
Y/N laughs turning to face him. Bare chested, his brown hair messy. scratches on his back from the night. He looked so good. A god prehaps? No,
the devil. He was the devil.
“Well, good morning to you too sir,” She raises an eyebrow, teasing.
He buries his face more against her chest,
“Morning, love.”
“I personally think he is celebrating since yesterday after it was clear we were late and drenched, due to the make out session in the rain.” Y/N strokes his hair,
“Well it doesn’t matter cause in the end, I’m pretty sure I’m not getting the leftovers, but you are.”
He laughs heartily at that. God that laugh.
Everything about him, she fell, his laugh, his smile, his everything,
she fell for him.
And it didn't matter if he was really the devil. She would gladly, go and fall into hell with him – together.
Y/N snakes her hands to cup his face.
“I love you,” She whispered.
“I love you too,” He responded back and kissed –
both feeling such intense bliss.
