Ch.25: Bbbbbbbaaaaddddd Influence

Danny phased through the wall and into the bank. Hostages, bound and gagged, were in one corner, surrounded by goons wearing clown masks and carrying guns. More goons were walking in and out of the vault, carrying as much cash as they could.

In the middle of the bank, a man with a white face and big red smile wearing a purple suit stood, laughing to himself. A woman wearing a jester outfit stood next to him, laughing as well.

The hostages' eyes lit up when they saw the small protégé of Batman. All the goons stopped what they were doing and pointed their guns at the small vigilante.

The man turned to Danny as he landed on the ground arms crossed with a frown.

"Well, who is this?" The man asked, voice rising and lowering as he saw fit.

"I'm Danny Phantom. And you are?" The nine-year-old questioned.

"This is Mistah J and I'm Harlequin, Doll-Face!" The woman answered.

"But you can call me Uncle J, kid!" The man, 'Uncle J' or 'Mistah J' or whatever, said, grinning unnaturally.

Danny cocked an eyebrow. "I'm just gonna call you J…"

Mistah J shrugged, not a care in the world. "Ok then! So kid, you work for old Batsy, huh?"

"Got a problem with that?" Danny asked, placing his tiny fists on his hips.

J slapped his knee and laughed loudly, Harlequin beside him, doing the same.

"I like this kid! He's a sassy thing that I haven't seen since that blonde little Robin left the nest!" J announced loudly.

Danny glared. "Are you mocking my older sissy?"

"No kid, not at all! That's a compliment to your big sissy! Anyways, how's hanging with the big, bad Justice League?" J asked, smirking as he did.

Danny shrugged, glare melting. "Eh."

The clown couple laughed again.

"This kid's a riot, Mistah J!" Harlequin yelled.

"He sure is! Say, what don't you like about them? They're heroes! You're a hero! What clashes?" J asked, leaning forward in anticipation.

Danny shrugged again, his tense shoulders relaxing. "All the men are idiots for people who are supposed to be smarter than most. Except for J'onn. He's the only cool one. I like all the women though. You know, when they're giving me breathing room."

J and Harlequin continued laughing.

"If I were you, kid, I'd mess with all of them!" J commented through his laughter.

"Oh you mean like pranks? Oh I do those all the time. Sometimes when I stalk the adults, I hide in the rafters, they talk about me 'owning the League' and 'conquering the entire universe'. I don't see the big deal! All I've done is ransack their rooms, thrown cake in Superman's and Flash's faces…"

As Danny continued to list all the horrible things he's done to the League, J and Harlequin continued laughing their butts off while the hostages gave little Danny Phantom astonished looks.

Five minutes later…

Batman lighted onto a rafter, looking down at the rest of the bank. Immediately upon looking, he face-palmed, dragged his hand across his face, and then pinched the bridge of his nose. "How? How did you manage to adopt the only kid in the entire world that would become BFFs with the Joker and Harlequin in less than ten minutes?"

Danny, Joker, and Harlequin were all sitting on the ground in a circle, swapping stories.

The Dark Knight jumped down from the rafter and landed on the ground, a scowl on his face (as usual). The hostages breathed sighs of relief when they saw the Caped Crusader because his protégé kind of killed their hope six or seven minutes ago.

Danny waved. "Hey Bats!"

Batman's face was completely and utterly blank. "Phantom… That's the Joker…"

Danny whined and got up, walking over to his mentor. "Aw man! I did it again!"

Joker cocked an eyebrow. "Again?"

Batman rubbed his face. "Yes. Again. He did the same thing with Penguin, Riddler, and Freeze."

Joker and Harlequin laughed all the way to Arkham, where they talked about Danny to the other three idiots who became friends with the Dark Knight's apprentice in under ten minutes.

Oh Danny... Oooohhhhh Danny...

Kadzait: *rubs face* Just.. I don't even know what to say.
