Danny was in school and it's been weeks since Artemis's 'death' and he really missed the old days with him, dick, Wally, artemis, Conner, Megan and kaldur but they all had to grow up sometime...
"Danny, dude, you seem really down," Tucker pointed out to him at lunch with Sam and Valerie sitting with them.
"It's nothing, just sort of out of it I guess," that wasn't all of it, in eight days is his parents anniversary of their death, the Fentons.
He didn't know what he was going to do since Gotham was so far from amity park and Bruce is going to out of town as well as Alfred and dick lives a little to far.
It's also when he gets the worst night terrors.
"Are you sure Danny?" Sam asked worried.
"Bruce is going to be out of town next week," Danny mumbled.
"Is Bruce like your uncle?" Tucker asked.
"No he's my dad, he's picking me up after school," Danny shrugged.
"You call your dad by his first name?" Sam raised an eye brow.
"I-it's complicated," Danny smiled shyly.
After school.
"You ready to go Danny?" Bruce asked standing by a limo that Alfred was in driving.
Danny's friends behind him jaws dropped.
"Your dad is Bruce Wayne?" Valerie asked.
"Yea," Danny said nervously.
"Master Daniel, how was your day of school?" Alfred came out.
"And he has a butler, alright," Sam crossed her arms, she was rich too but not that rich.
"More like a friend of the family," he smiled at them.
He got in the limo and drove away, leaving his friends at school.
"Guessing you never told your friends about your dad being the Bruce Wayne," Bruce smirked at him.
"I didn't see why, we're all human, some just wealthier than others," Danny shrugged.
"Are you going to be okay next week?" Bruce looked at Danny worried.
"I'll survive, but I should be over it, right? It's been 10 years since my biological parents died and 9 since the Fentons died," Danny put his hands in his lap.
"It's not always that easy," Bruce put a hand on his shoulder.
"You suffered from trauma at a young age, it may haunt you for a lot longer than Dick even," Danny looked out the window as they pulled up to the manor.
"Is tim home?" Danny asked about his adoptive brother, they had another but Jason Todd died from the joker.
"He should be, next week he has a mission so..." Bruce trailed off.
"Yea, ok," Danny got out and went to the batcave.
"So what have you been working on?" Bruce asked seeing Danny under the machine with wires everywhere.
"A portal," he grabbed a wrench.
"A... Portal?" Bruce raised an eye brow.
"The Fentons where ghost hunters, they where making a portal to a world that is called the ghost zone, im curious if I can do what they never got to finish," Danny said but his voice echoed from the metal.
"Your pretty smart to create a portal," Bruce said proudly.
"I'm smarter than what my grades show," Danny smirked under the portal.
"School doesn't teach how to create portals or how to advance weapons," Danny sat up but hit his head a little.
"Ow son of a bitch!" He rubbed his forehead.
"Language master Daniel," Alfred walked down.
"Sorry Alfred," Danny smiled innocently at the butler. Danny felt a small cut on his fore head and a little blood.
"I'll be right back," he got up and went to the bathroom and put a bandage on the cut.
He looked in the mirror sighed.
"I'm almost there," he said proudly to himself.
He walked back and saw Tim at the computer and Bruce must've went back upstairs as well as Alfred.
"Where's barb?" Danny walked over to the younger boy.
He's thirteen and Danny's almost fifteen.
"Boo!" He heard behind him and meant to punch what ever it was but Barbra ducked.
"Really babs?" Danny frowned at her.
"You almost punched me!" She laughed.
Tim was in the chair laughing silently.
"You have no idea how hard it was to keep a straight face!" He laughed.
"Ha ha ha, you two are hilarious," Danny smirked and hit the back of Tim's head not that hard.
"Hey!" Tim rubbed the back of his head snickering still.
"I need to barrow this real quick," Danny typed in the computer some things for the portal.
"Uhh Danny?" Tim looked at the computer.
"Ok it's yours again," Danny smirked and went back to the machine.
"Ghost portal?" Barbra took off her bat cowl and looked at the screen.
"I hacked into files of the Fentons blue prints of the portal," Danny told them to answer their confused faces.
"Your fourteen years old and remaking a portal that Madeline and Jackson designed, I have to say I'm impressed," Barbra smirked a little.
Then a small explosion was behind them and Danny's face was covered in black dust.
"Wrong wire," he coughed and black smoke came out of his nose.
"Good luck," Tim laughed a little and Barbra let out a chuckle at the halfa.
