Summary: Batgirl attempts to get the drop on The Riddler by finding him during the day. Things of some sort ensue.

Barbara moved swiftly, preferring speed to cover. Her purple costume didn't work as well in the daylight as the night. She was betting that The Riddler wouldn't be expecting a visit from a bat in the middle of the day, though.

She slipped through an open warehouse door, thankfully embracing the relative darkness. Once her eyes had finished adjusting, she could move deeper inside. She was scouting for any signs of habitation, or footsteps in the dust. Riddler was around here somewhere.

[unriddling]

The warehouse was almost silent.

Beneath the sound of her own footsteps, the barely-there noise of her own cape rustling, there was a tiny, continuous humming.

There were many massive steel crates in the place, strewn--or perhaps somehow shoved--around in ways that weren't particularly sensible for storage. There were narrow paths left between them, but the darkness there was nothing like the darkness of the outer layer of the warehouse. It was deeper, more.

And if she dared slip in, the minute humming would be muffled even further.
