Riddle 032: Milked For All He's Worth

[puzzlerprince]

[Hey Mayfield. Guess who's been a busy little drone this evening? Well, now that he's gone and killed his first victim, the Riddler's going to be headed on home. But first?

A. ACTION - The Gas Station / Diner - EveningThe Riddler's at the gas station, whistling to himself and filling up the Riddler-Mobile. Which you've probably noticed is a little

[Oh no, Edward must be droned again. Luke hesitantly emerges to see Edward, except something seems very wrong in this case.

...Is that blood?]

M-Mr. Nigma?

[Luke doesn't move any closer to greet dear old dad.]

[puzzlerprince]

Luke! C'mere, sport! Give your old man a hug.

[He extends his arms out invitingly, though he doesn't loosen the grip on his cane in the slightest.]

[tapshoetomove]

[Luke doesn't move. What did he do why is there blood?]

You ought to go clean yourself up, Mr. Nigma.

[puzzlerprince]

Now, son. You know better than to talk back like that. Don't you?

[The smile on his face wavers very slightly.]

[He takes a step back.]

D-don't come any closer! Who's blood is that?!

[puzzlerprince]

[Trauma time, Luke. Edward starts advancing towards him.]

Don't you give me orders in my house.

[hintcoinplz]

I said stay back!

[Luke backs up, although there's not a whole lot of room if he needs to run. In the meantime, he starts looking for something to fend drone Edward off if he needs to.]

[puzzlerprince]

You are on very thin ice, young man.

[Still drawing nearer and nearer.]

[Luke grabs the nearest object, in this case a lamp, before chucking it at Edward.

In most situations, he'd have - no, the Professor would have a plan. The Professor could always calmly think through any dangerous situation.

But Luke wasn't the Professor, and right now all he had was a lamp. He has no idea if this is an effective plan or not, but he doesn't even stick around to watch the lamp hit, as he takes off running the moment he throws it.]

[puzzlerprince]

[The lamp catches Edward right in the forehead, sending him back a step or two as Luke sprints off.]

You come back here right this instant or you are grounded!

[hintcoinplz]

[Luke does not come back. However he does go and try to find the other members of this little family, hopefully before Edward catches up with him first.]
