And Dick is incredibly OOC in this.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Danny watched as Bruce study a blueprint with the words 'Ghost Portal' on it. Bruce had asked him if he knew what it was. Danny told him that his previous master used it to go to the Ghost Zone. Sometimes, a ghost, preferably Vlad's acquaintance, would come out through it. Bruce knew it was dangerous to actually build it and he thought it was a good idea to destroy the Ghost Portal in Wisconsin.

Tim was building more batarangs and bird-a-rangs at another table not too far away. He went there and watch him screw a piece of sharp metal to another sharp metal in the form of a bat. He still didn't quite understood why everything was bat or bird related. Though Dick answered that it was for 'appearance'.

They spent a few more minutes in the batcave before Alfred announced that it was lunch time. Tim and Alfred both had to combine their efforts to coax Bruce out of the cave while Dick just came to get Danny.

Danny liked Dick. He was very nice to him and spoiled him silly.

Tim was okay. He was nice and very smart and would sometimes fire a conversation with him. Danny loved it when Tim talked about astronomy.

Jason was... okay, so Jason wasn't always around. Danny viewed him as the black sheep of the family. He was wild and ruthless and won't hesitate to stab you in the back, thus Danny made a mental note not to anger him or be around him much. He learnt that the only one that can control the wild man was the family butler.

And finally, Damian. Danny doesn't know much about him other than he likes to read thick books and that he trains very hard.

"You are just going to leave me with him!?" Damian complained as he pointed a finger at Danny's direction. He, Danny, and Bruce were currently in Bruce's study, both seating on separate seats in front of a desk where Bruce sat.

Bruce sighed. "There is a very important meeting that I need to attend to, Dick is back in Bludhaven, Jason is currently busy at the moment, and Tim is with the Titans. So to answer your question, yes son, I am leaving you with Danny to bond together."

"-Tt-" Damian crossed his arms as his father stood up.

"Alright, I shall be taking my leave and I won't be back until later tonight. Dick said that he might make it here later in the afternoon. Now, play nice and no killing. That means you, Damian."

Danny stared down at his lap as his adopted father finally exited the room. Damian scowled and glanced at him. "I still wonder why father adopted a supernatural child such as yourself."

Danny winced at the harsh tone. "I-I do not know."

Damian scoffed. "Where did you even come from anyway?"

"In a-a facility."

"So you were a lab rat?" Damian smirked. "-Tt-. As expected from a being like you. Who has even heard of a person half dead and half alive?"

Danny clenched his hands and gritted his teeth, trying to keep his emotions at bay. "It's not nice to be talked about so rudely."

"So Grayson has finally gotten to you, eh? Typical of the circus gypsy. What do you even know about humanity if you are a being who is half way to death? Did scientist rip you apart and study your insides?"

Damian admitted that he was shocked when Danny suddenly pounced on him. He knew that it had something to do to what he said. Well, what can he do? He was bored and wanted to anger someone. But he did not expect this child older than him to act so hostile. He thought that Danny was just a quiet child who would take insults without any violence. Perhaps he was wrong. He should've listened to Grayson when he lectured him about 'other people's feelings'.

"Do not talk about that! You do not understand!"

Damian growled back. "What do I now understand? About living in a life of pain!?"

Danny gripped Damian's shirt with glassy eyes. "...yes. For all of my life I have been trained to kill, only to gain very painful punishment and never receive praise. They dissected me without a second thought about how I would feel! They all say that I am an evil being that doesn't have any emotions! It hurts, Damian! I just... I really don't want to hurt you or anyone..." Danny's shoulder slumped as he slowly stood up from the boy. He then hugged himself with his bangs covering his eyes. "I... I'm so sorry... I'm sorry..."

Damian stood up as he watched the teen mutter apologizes over and over. His eyes narrowed in thought. 'I... I guess we are no different after all.' He scowled when he thought back to his time with the League of Assassins. He sighed and looked back at Danny. "-Tt-, you are in no need to apologize for it is I who should be apologizing."

Danny's head snapped up at him in surprise. "Wh-why? I was the one who assaulted you. I should be punished for that..."

Damian rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "I said some very unpleasant things to you and for that, I apologize. It was very rude of me. And besides, it seems that we have something in common."

"How so?" Damian motioned for Danny to seat on the single sofas while he did the same.

Danny listened intently as Damian told him of his own origins. He was raised in an organization of assassins, was taught to kill and be arrogant. His grandfather had taught him how to be the greatest assassin and that they would rule the world together. His mother? Well, he didn't saw his mother much since she pretty much dumped him into the care of his father.

Danny smiled sligthly. "So I guess we have a lot in common."

Damian nodded. "I suppose so."

"...I really am sorry though."

"I feel the same, Daniel."

"You're not angry at me, are you?" Danny questioned as he looked straightly at Damian's icy blue eyes.

Damian gave a very tiny smile and shook his head. "Not anymore. At first I was very skeptic on why father has decided to adopt another child. But now I understand that he adopts you, Grayson, Todd, and even Drake because he understood your pain. And I respect that."

"Bruce is a very kind man."

"That he is..." The young adopted brothers stayed in an awkward silence until Damian decided to break it when he caught Danny creepily staring at nothing, or rather, what is in front of him. "So, since Pennyworth is busy cleaning and Grayson won't be here in a few more hours, what do you suggest we do?"

Danny looked at him with wide blue eyes. "I don't really know."

At seeing his eyes and realizing how Grayson acts towards him, Damian had a sudden idea. He smirked evilly. "I think I know what we will be doing. But I need your full cooperation."

Danny nodded.

"Danny! Damian!" Dick called out as he entered the living room. He scratched his head in thought when he found that it was empty. He was about to leave when suddenly, he felt sticky all over. "ARGH!"

Danny giggled as he turned visible, floating above the man as he carried an empty bucket that was previously filled with honey. Damian smirked evilly from the shadows.

"Danny! Why!?" Dick yelled out in betrayal.

Danny floated back down, set the bucket aside, and promptly hugged the elder. "I'm sorry big brother. Please don't be angry at me."

Dick was practically cooing at how adorable Danny was acting, not noticing how Damian was throwing glitter and small streamers at him that stuck to him because of the sticky substance. Danny looked slightly behind Dick's back, who was currently pinching his cheeks, to find Damian giving him a thumbs up to indicate the signal. Nodding, Danny looked up at Dick, purposely making his eyes large and sparkle.

"Big brother, will you please make me and Damian a big chocolate milkshake with extra wheat cream and sprinkles and chocolate chips? Please big brother, please?"

Almost instantly, Dick did as what he was told with a dazed grin. Danny and Damian high-fived each other with victorious smirked. Danny felt sorry for Dick since he only acted as such because he craved for brotherly affection and one of his brothers to act adorably to him. But he shrugged it off when Damian promised him milkshakes.

Tim and Jason dryly glanced at each other, than back at the scene unfolding before them.

Damian and Danny were lounging on the couch while drinking milkshakes and Dick, oh poor Dick was covered in honey, colored feathers, glitters, and streamers while bringing the youngest brothers a plate of cookies. On his head was a cone-like hat with the word DUNCE written on it.

"This is the first time I have seen Dick act so stupidly just because he craves affection." Jason stated. Tim just looked on with jealousy, wanting to join in the fun. But he needed to keep the responsible, smart-ass persona he would always possess.

Then Bruce and Alfred walked in. Alfred sighed while Bruce face-palmed.

"I don't even want to know..."
