Dani POV

I jump onto my new bed with a smile.

It's been almost a month since I moved in with Dick and I'm pretty happy with how my life is. I started going Sunday family dinner with Dic-my family and we told everyone how we are related the first time. After Jason was done mocking Dick he insisted on me calling him uncle Jason then snuck me away from the rest of the family to teach me what he calls important life skills (like shooting guns, picking pockets and locks) after a few hours Dick and Grandpa (as Jason insisted I must call Bruce) found us and told uncle Jay off.

I got to spent lots of time with all my new aunts and uncles (even Damian, if you count three hours of sword fighting,) it was a great day and I always find it hard to wait see them again.

"Dani!" he calls knocking on my door.

"It's open!" I reply.

He opens it with a smile in his suit, "I'm about to go out on patrol. Wally will be here in a minute to watch you."

"I don't need a babysitter Dick" I frown, we spent most of the last month in Gotham so whenever he went on patrol I stayed in the cave, now that we're back he's getting me a baby sitter.

"Your 10" he points out, "Or almost a year old depending how you look at it."

"How about I go on patrol with you" I try.

"Not just yet" he shakes his head, "You still rely on your powers too much, if you somehow lost them while out there and couldn't defend yourself…... you'll be ready in a few months, until then you get to spend time with my friends! They have lots of cool stories and can teach you how to use some of your powers better."

I smile at his worried dad voice, it's nice having someone who cares enough to worry. "Well I do trip over my own feet sometimes when I run over 800mph" I agree.

He smiles, "See! Walls can help you with that."

I sound comes from the kitchen, "Dude! Your out of ice cream!"

"Sounds like your friends here" I laugh quietly getting off the bed and going to the kitchen where the redhead speedster is stuffing his face with leftover pasta.

"Hey bird boy, little bird!" he greets.

"Hey Kid Stomach" Dick nods, "Remember, bed by 9, not sugar, no racing across country or around the world. Call me if something goes wrong call me, or Dad-"

"Relax Dick" Wally laughs, "I got this. Go protect your city."

Dick turns to me, "Seriously. Call if you need me."

A hug him, "I will. Now go kick bad guy butt."

He looks at me a few more times before climbing out the window.

Wally grins, "Well you've turned my best friend into a worrywart, well done kid" he speaks with humour, "Right! We've got two hours before you have to be in bed. What do you wanna do?"

We spend a hour and a half in a field outside of the city with Wally teaching me how to not trip and how to stop right.

"Almost had it there" Wally smiles after I almost go face first into the grass.

"I almost became one with the weeds" I correct feeling annoyed, why can't I get this?

"Give it time" he shrugs, "I was still running into poles and building after 10 years of having speed. Hell just last week I tripped over a skateboard and…. well you don't need to hear that. The point is give it time."

I kind of want to hear it. I nod, "Okay, just gotta give it time and practice" I blink, why is everything green? I look up and see green clouds swirling then a hear a horse.

"What the hell is that?" Wally asks just as a knight speed up to me on a ghost horse and grabs me.

"Wha-let me go!" I yell fighting against the ghost, but the ghost just keeps riding, opening a portal with his glowing sword right in front of us.

Lightning flashes and I'm on the ground away from the ghost, "You okay Dani?" Wally asks, looking to the knight ready to fight.

"Fine" I nod, also ready to fight.

"You have to come with me" the knight growls.

"Yeah not happening" Wally glares before grabbing me.

"Why are we running? We can take this guy!" I yell as he runs.

"You Dad would kill me if you got hurt!" he replies, "I'll go back and stop that creep once your back with Dick."

I hated being treated like a kid! "That was a ghost! That means he's one of my bad guys!"

He shakes his head, "I know how you feel Dani, believe me. But if you get hurt on my watch I won't forgive myself, plus the Bat clan would kill me."

He stops suddenly on a rooftop, where Dick talking on his phone. "No Robin! You can't just cut off limbs!...just because its not killing doesn't mean its not wrong" he looks over and sees us, "I'll call you back, but this is not over!"

"Hey Wing" Wally waves, putting me down "We had a bit of a ghost problem."

"You two okay?" he asks looking between us.

"I'm fine" I nod, "We could have taken him, but Wally wouldn't let me."

"Good" he nods looking to his best friend, "Thanks Walls, any idea what the ghost wanted?"

"He wanted Dani" he replies.

Dick frowns, "Right. You're going to the watchtower and we'll sort this out."

I frown, "Overprotective is getting real old real fast. Dick I can handle this, you know I can."

He sighs and rubs his forehead, "Yeah I know you can, sorry I just…"

I smile and give him a quick side hug, "I know."

He ruffes my white hair, "Come on, let's find out what this guy wants."

Wally grabs Dick and I run next to him.

We find the ghost on the main road to Blüdhaven, Wally helps me slow down and the three of us look at the knight.

"What do you want with her?" Dick asks with a glare.

"My king requested I get her" he replies.

"You're king?" I question, "Why would your king want me?"

"He wishes to speak with you."

I roll my eyes, "You could have just said that. Did he tell you to kidnap me or is that just what you decided to do?"

He pauses, "…..he asked to speak with the halfa Danielle. But no, he did not speak of kidnapping."

Of course, some ghosts go straight to what they think of as the fun way and don't even think of the right way. "I'll talk to him, but not in the GZ it has to be on earth."

Dick nods in agreement, "And we will be with her."

"No" he growls, "The king cannot leave within his first year. It is law."

His first year…. Oh of course! "Alright, I'll go see him."

"Danielle!" Dick shoots me a stern look, what happened to the fun guy who let me throw him in mid-air? Right, he's taking being a dad seriously.

"Its okay Nightwing" I smile, "I got the feeling I know who the king is. He won't hurt me."

"Your sure?" he asks.

I nod.

"Then I trust you" he smiles then turns to Wally, "Any change you can finish up my patrol? If Dani says it safe I trust her, and that we don't need backup."

"Plus, most of the Ghost Zone is open air, and floating islands and doors, nowhere for you to run" I add.

Wally nods and hugs me, "See you later little bird" then he's gone.

The knight puts his sword through the air and opens another portal.

I pick up Dick and fly through with the knight, riding his horse next to us.

"Wow" Dick grins seeing the Ghost Zone, "This place is way chalant."

I grin and follow the now flying horse to a castle.

He gets off his horse when we reach the door and lends us to the throne room, where the king is sitting with a crown on his head.

"Danielle your highness" the knight knells before him.

I jump up and hug the king, "Danny!"

He hugs back, "Hey Dani! You are really hard to find" he notes, "Fright Knight has been looking for you for like 5 months" he nods to the knight, "Thank you for finding her."

Fright Knight bows and stands to the side.

"Sorry" I shrug after the hug, "Was hiding from Vlad you know."

He nods then looks behind me, "So who's the guy in the leotard?"

I smile, "Danny this is Nightwing. Nightwing, Danny."

Dick sends me a look, "You didn't say you were cloned from a king. I thought he was a hero."

"I am" Danny shrugs, "Or was I guess. Turns out when you defeat the evil king you become the king. I turned 18 just 5 months ago and the Observers showed up and told me."

"Okay…congratulations?" I look to Dick, "But why have a knight hunt me down?"

"Cause your my clone, you count as my first born" he speaks awkwardly.

Dick cackles, and puts a arm over me, "You really are my little princess!"

"Your little princess" Danny frowns, looking confused.

I look between them and grin, "Turns out Vlad asks another super villain for advice on cloning. He told him to add more human DNA to bridge the gaps. So, Danny meet my other Dad!"

Danny pales and Dick grins, walking up to Danny and throwing a arm over his shoulder. "We sure made a great kid didn't we love?"

I giggle at the look on Danny's face and the teasing grin on Dick's.

"Umm" Danny pushes Dick away, "Yeah, yeah so funny" he smiles to me, "I'm glad you did find a dad Dani. I know I sort of am too, but…."

"I know" I nod, "Your only 8 years older than me, at least Wing is old enough to have had me as a teenager. With you it's just…. Too weird to think of you that way, you know?"

"I know" he agrees, looking relieved, "Anyway" he shakes his head getting back on track, "Even if we don't see each other as father, daughter ghost law does. They wanna crown you princess."

Dick cackles, making Danny jump, "Sweet! Please tell me she has to wear a dress and I can record the whole thing."

Danny nods with his own grin.

"Will I have to stay here?" I ask, "Your knight said you weren't allowed to leave for your first year."

"You can leave" he reassures, "I only have to stay to show the people I'm here for them, plus it gives me time to put some order into this place. 10000 years without someone on charge has made it pretty insane. You just gotta agree to come back every once and a while for lessons and formal parties."

"I can do that" I agree, its not like I'll really have to be queen one day, Danny will probably marry Sam and they'll have a real heir. "But I'm not having these people call me your daughter, still to weird."

"Little sister" he offers."

I smile, that sounds perfect.

Dick grins at me, "Robin is gonna be pissed when he hears he's not the only heir in the family."

Oh boy.
