Ch.9: Blackjack Night!
Danny dealt the cards to Hal, Superman, Flash, Green Arrow, and Booster Gold, a big pile of cash sitting in front of him. It was the Justice League's First Annual Blackjack Tournament. Danny was the dealer, as he was the best Blackjack player there was.
Batman was sitting next to his ward, watching the game silently. Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Nightwing, Red Arrow, and Aquaman were the only Leaguers that decided to watch, didn't have plans, or their city wasn't in some kind of peril.
They had already played six rounds. Danny won four of them. Superman and Green Arrow both had one win each.
To say that Hal, Flash, and Booster Gold were very ticked off would be an understatement.
"This is one of the most pathetic gambling games I have ever had the pleasure of seeing." Supergirl whispered to her fellow watchers, who nodded in agreement.
"Oh, something tells me this is gonna get better." Nightwing whispered again. They all laughed under their breaths.
"I heard that Danny beat Hal, Flash, and GA last time they played. And Danny cheated too." Red Arrow whispered.
"Oh, that's so true. Hal wouldn't stop complaining for a week." Aquaman continued.
"Neither would Flash." Wonder Woman added.
Red Arrow started clapping sarcastically as they turned back to the game.
Danny had won yet another round and was given the money gambled. At this rate, Hal, Superman, Flash, and Booster Gold were going to be broke and Green Arrow would need a second job.
"How does he keep beating us? More importantly, me!" Booster yelled.
"We're all wondering that, Booster. Why don't you ask the little-"
Batman shot Hal a dirty look that clearly said 'Finish that sentence; I'll finish your life'.
The Green Lantern shrunk in his seat, trying to use his cards as a shield from the wrath of the Bat.
Danny grinned as he set his cards down. "I'll be right back. I have to use the bathroom."
The small boy got off his seat and headed for the door.
"Danny, leave the money." Batman ordered. The smaller boy groaned before walking back and dropping some of the coins and bills he had taken. He turned around to leave again but-
"All of it."
Danny turned around again and dropped a bigger pile of cash than the first one. He grumbled as he walked off.
Batman sighed, rubbing his face before turning to the Leaguers that were participating in the tournament.
"Alright, who's missing money from their wallets?" He asked.
"WHAT?!" The Leaguers shouted and, promptly, got out their wallets to find no bills or change in them.
The spectators laughed at the misfortune of the players.
"That's his inner pickpocket shining." Batman said and then turned to the spectators. "Just to make sure, check your wallets."
Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Nightwing, Red Arrow, and Aquaman grabbed their wallets and looked in.
"Where's all my money go!?" Supergirl shouted.
The players smirked that they weren't the only ones that had money stolen from them.
Batman sighed and pushed the bills and coins forward for the Leaguers to look through.
"Actually, all my money's here." Nightwing said, showing his full wallet.
Danny chose that time to walk back in. "Yeah, that's because I like you."
Red Arrow started clapping again, a scowl on his face, while Nightwing started laughing hysterically at the other's shocked or offended faces.
"Did you steal from him?" Superman asked the young boy and pointed to Batman.
Danny shook his head fast with wide eyes.
Nightwing continued as he ruffled Danny's hair. "You smart, Kid, you smart."
Danny gave him a cheeky smiled as the others groaned.
"Definitely a Bat…" Flash muttered.

Reviews:
Mulllkkkkkk: Yeah... Ember's extremely scary in that last chapter. *shudders* XD
Anonymous: Uh... Actually, the pedophile thing plays sometime in the near future. I can't remember which chapter though. There are times when Danny is fine and then there are times when he has emotional breakdowns. Emotional breakdowns come later. Fun.
Sina Xiel: Hahaha! Cry! Go ahead! I won't judge! XD And I can totally see it too (new idea much)! And Jazz probably knew. Didn't do anything about it. But she knew. Because she's a big sissy like that. XD
