Third POV

"Hurry, we need to get out of here", said one thug

"Don't worry we have a plan for the Bat if he shows up", said the other thug

"Yeah" said thug one interested "what is it?"

"Well it goes like this…" answered thug two.

While the two thugs were conversing, they didn't realize that they were being watched from the rooftops, said person hearing everything that was said that was in store for the man in the bat suit.

Bruce's POV

'There have been a string of robberies around Gotham. I would usually leave this kind of case to the police, but what is being stolen is a chemical that could really harm someone.' As I land on a rooftop above where the robbers would be when I heard a voice from the shadows.

"Watch for your foes, for they have been getting smarter." said the voice.

'What', "who goes there." I said in a gruff voice

"You don't have worry about me" said the voice, "For I am only a passerby." Before the voice completely disappear.

'I was really confused from what the voice had said, but I couldn't dwell on it for now.' I thought to myself when I burst into the building to fight the robbers and reclaim the chemicals.

? POV

I watched the fight from the rooftop that Batman had once resided on. I could tell that he was doing well. I was about to go away when I noticed one of the thugs had pulled a gun and aimed at a distracted Batman's head. When he fired, I didn't think of anything when I jumped. When I was near the ground when I was slammed with something and a fierce pain came afterwards.

"I thought I told you need to watch your foes." I said in a raspy voice before I hit the ground.

Bruce's POV

I heard the gunshot but before I could get out of the way, a blur came from the ceiling and was shot instead. I realized it was a boy with a mop of coal black hair that was sixteen years old. "I thought I told you to watch your foes." I heard the kid say before he hit the ground. Then I realized it was the person from the rooftop. He must have known something was going and stayed to see if I heard his warning. The kid seemed to be breathing for the moment when I checked him over. I finished the rest of the robbers after I checked over the kid. When I turned back to the kid, he was sitting up, holding his bleeding shoulder. Then did I realize that the kid had ice blue eyes.

"Are you alright kid." I asked

The kid looked at me and said"I'll live and it isn't kid, its Danny."

"So, where's your family, Danny?" I asked.

"Dead" was my replied.

"Well, let me help you get that wound treated." I told him, feeling slightly protective over the kid.

"Okay", he sighed "But I have a place that has everything I need to take care of this wound, okay." He said.

I helped him up and lead him towards the Batmobile. When he was getting situated in the passenger seat I asked "So, how long have you been living alone?"

There was a couple of minutes of silence before he said, "To be honest I'm not sure how long."

The rest of the ride was silent until we got to the place where Danny was staying. The place was an abandon and rundown apartment building. I followed Danny when he entered the building and I found that there was a bank of computers across one wall and a mattress on the other side in the corner.

Danny's POV

I could tell that Batman was kind of surprised of the computers even if his face hid most of it.

"Where did you get the computers from?" asked Batman.

Man he asks a lot of questions, but I'm not that surprised by that question.

"They came from my parent's lab." I told him when I was reaching for my first aid kit. "Before it blew up."

"Why did we have to come here, when I have medical supplies back at my cave?" He asked walking over to me. I hesitated for moment then I told him, "I'm special and the stuff in the first aid kit I made myself."

What do you mean 'special'?" he asked narrowing his eyes.

I sighed "I'm half dead, Batman." I told him when I turned my hand intangible and stuck it in my shoulder to get the bullet out. When I finally got the bullet out of shoulder, I started to wrap my shoulder.

"You know you can always leave, right?" I told Batman.

"I know but I'm not leaving here without you. You can't be out here on your own."He told me.

"I have been living here on own for awhile now. I can take care of myself." I told him, kind of ticked off that he thinks I can't take care for myself.

"I know you can, but don't you want a real home than this place?" He asked sounding worried.

That hit me hard; I had always wanted a place I could call home since my parents had died. "Yeah" hearing my voice cracking.

"Then come with me." He said extending his hand to me.

I looked around the room that I had called my home, then at Batman, then at his hand.

"Okay" I said taking his hand with a small smile.

That was how I became a Wayne.

Few minutes before

Bruce's POV

I watched Danny as he was grabbing a first aid kit.

"Where did you get the computers from?" I asked

I could hear a slight sigh and then Danny said," I got them from my parent's lab." There was a slight paused when Danny added "Before it blew up."

I could hear a slight twinge of sadness, so I'm guessing that was when his parents died.

"Why did we have to come here, when I had medical supplies back at the cave?" I asked catching a glimpse of the contents of the first aid kit. There were some basic medical supplies in there, but there was a slight green tinge around everything. There was slight pause before Danny told me "I'm special and the stuff in the first aid kit I made."

"What do you mean 'special'?" I asked paranoia setting in.

He sighed again," I'm half dead, Batman" Danny told me

I was confused at what he said, but it all made sense when he reached into his shoulder and pulling out the bullet. He must have been genetically altered somehow. Then I realized that he had so many scars on his body and his eyes showed that he was lifting up the world. He didn't want these powers, but he was stuck with them. I was interrupted from my thoughts when Danny said, "You know you can always leave, right?"

"I know, but I'm not leaving here without you. You can't live here on your own." I told him feeling worry over the boy. He was too young to feel that weight.

"I have been living here for awhile on my own. I can take care of myself." Danny said slightly mad. I looked at him and could tell that he was a warrior.

"I know you can, but don't you want a real home?" I asked. I could tell that my words hit hard in him.

"Yeah" he said with cracked voice.

"Then come with me." I asked Danny extending my hand hoping that he will take my offer. I watched Danny look around the room, then at me, then at my hand.

"Okay" he said with a small smile, the first smile I had seen. Taking his hand we walked back to the Batmobile. 'Danny is my first son' I thought with a smile before driving back to the cave.
