"Oh but that would be missing the point!" Riddler replied as his face appeared on a large screen, "it doesn't take a lot of brain power to throw someone out a window. On the other hand, you've got to be a genius to figure out how you'll get out of here alive."
As he spoke a metal panel dropped down in front of the door behind her and began to hum as electricity ran through it. It moved towards Ciara, forcing her to go ahead into the next room.
The trap that the riddler had set up was... intricate. the entire floor except directly in front of the entrance was crackling with electricity. The walls were laced with wires that also held a current and suspended in a large cage in the center of the room was Pietro. Above him there was a sealed hatch where Ciara could feel the flow of water running through the pipes that lead there. The problem was that every time a drop of water fell from the hatch, electricity in the room shot out and fried the drop before it could fall a meter.

"Maybe to someone who is not gifted with the M gene but to us, we use own brains in a completely different manner, controlling elements, shifting time and so far... All done thanks to this." She pointed to her head, "But you wish to play a different game, a game that's more to your level. Very well. I accept your challenge, dear Riddler." She looked up at the cage, "Oi, you alright?"

"Ciara!" Pietro called to her, though he stepped slightly too close to the bars and winced back as they shocked him a little, "Yeeesh! This guy doesn't kid around."

"Stay back and remain calm. I'll get you out of this." She stated, looking around her surrounds, trying to figure out how this puzzle worked.

There were several question marks around the room, two of them were glowing.

Sting Ray reached into her belt and pulled out some batrangs and threw one at the closet one.

The question marks flashed and the first section of floor turned off the electricity. Two different question marks lit up.

Sting Ray rushed down the path, setting the next set of the trail off with batarangs to the marks.

This time apparently she chose the wrong one, the cage that Pietro was in suddenly lit up with electricity. He screamed and fell to his knees when the shock was over, "I think... you should try... the other one" he gasped.

"Gah, sorry." She commented, quickly hitting the other switch.

As she went along there became more question marks lit up at once and only one of them would let her move along the path. Pietro could barely stand at that point, but at least Ciara had made it to the last set.
"Having a little trouble?" Riddler showed up on the screen again, "better watch out, one of these switches drops the water down, another drops the cage and the third roasts you both alive."

She grit her teeth. The water one would be fine, she could move it away from Pietro and the cage... One was the right one. But which one. She made it look like she was scratching her head confused by this puzzle but really she was changing the settings on her goggles to identify where the wires to each question maker led.

One of them lead to the wall and out of the room, the other two actually had wires that lead both to the top of the cage and to the water hatch.

He wasn't playing fair... 1/3 chance of winning. Ciara picked up her batarang and threw it at the one leading out of the room.

The other two fizzled out and the Riddler cursed angrily as the electricity shut down and the cage dropped, "How did you do that?! You cheated!" he accused, "I'll show you what I do with cheaters!" he hissed as the electricity began to start up again.
Pietro gave the wall of the cage a good kick before it sparked to life, giving himself an exit, "Lets get outta here."

"Takes a Cheater to know a cheater." she called back, and nodding to Pietro. "Lets."

Pietro grabbed Ciara and sped towards the front door but it was still blocked up. "uuhh... shitshitshit" he looked around.
"OVER HERE!" Robin yelled from a vent and Pietro sped over so they could crawl out of the building while the room fried behind them.
"Oi vey!" Pietro let out a deep breath once outside, "About time, it was getting cramped in there."

"Yeah, no line on where the Riddler was broadcasting from unfortunately but I'll at it to the bat computer" Robin nodded as he headed off with them.
Pietro touched Ciara's arm, "hey... I was looking for you all night..."

Ciara pulled her arm quickly to her side, "And I was crying all night, what's your point?" She didn't look at him, simply started walking faster.

Pietro stared at her, "You're not even going to let me explain?"

She stopped and turned, her arms behind her back and a forced smile on her face, "Explain what? That you're tired of me? That you'd rather be with someone less complicated, who has bigger breasts and a bigger bottom?" She held her hands tightly, trying to keep them from trembling behind her back.

Pietro stared at her incredulously, "Ci... I love you. Do you really think that after two years I'm going throw it all away for some chick in a bar? Because the only thing I'm sorry about is how low of an opinion you must have of me right now. I didn't do anything wrong."

"But... you kissed her...I...I saw you." She took a step forward. "You kissed her and then checked her out." She wrapped her arms around herself, "I saw you..."

Pietro frowned, "really? Is that what you saw?" he questioned then shook his head, "common then. Clearly I'm a liar and a cheat so you have no reason to believe me if I tell you to the truth" he grabbed her and took off, moments later they were in some other city in front of a less-than-well kept house. Pietro began pounding on the door, "OI!" he called, "Wake up!"
It took a few minutes but Mastermind opened the door, eyeing him suspiciously, "do you know what time it is?" he hissed.
"You work for my father or not?" Pietro retorted, pushing passed him into the house, "can't believe you still stick around America these days, but hey, he said you'd be here in a pinch. I need a favor." he gestured for Ciara to come in, "Common, sit. Lets do this."
"And whaaaaat?" Mastermind yawned, "am I doing?" he asked irritably.
"Showing her what happened last night." Pietro replied, pointing at Ciara. "earings off."
