Ch.52: The One Shot, Part 1

Danny opened his eyes as he woke up. He had to keep them open so he could see the array of colors everything was. There was a lot of white streaks running around, along with the occasional blue, black, and red one. The sounds around him were that of an intense battle and he could make out yells, grunts, and growls. He couldn't quite distinguish them, though, from one person to another.

Slowly, things came into focus. All around him he saw his amazing family holding off the GIW agents closing in. Some of the agents were downed and out for the count but the only one in the Bat-Family on the ground was him. Everyone else was up and fighting. Fighting for him.

Danny, still on his side, looked off into the distance. He watched his mentor fight, ignoring the aches and pains that pulsed through his body. He could ignore it. He could wait to get first aid. First, he had to get up and help his siblings and his father.

As he pushed himself off the ground with a wheeze, he sat hunched over and took a minute to let his vision go back to normal. He had quickly sat up and immediately his vision went hazy because of it. He waited for it to clear before looking up slowly and looking around.

His peridot eyes locked onto an agent.

An agent…

With a gun. Not a gun made for ghosts. But a gun. A pistol. A real legit pistol.

And it was aimed at Batman's head as his back was turned. His head.

Pain subsided instantly and panic replaced it. Danny's mind began racing because the agent was slowly pulling the trigger and Danny clasped his hand around a piece of discarded metal as he quickly rose to his feet. He stuck his hand out, just then realizing the piece of metal in his hands was an ecto-pistol with an ectoranium bullet in the clip.

But it was still a bullet.

Danny pressed the trigger just as his mind was registering the fact that he was holding a gun.

POW!

Thump.

The agent laid motionless on the ground. Dead.

No one really noticed the gun shot. Red Hood was shooting people left and right, not killing anyone but still shooting, and the shots were just as loud as Danny's.

No one noticed… Except Batman and Red Hood.

The Dark Knight stared in absolute shock at his youngest kid, not understanding why the teen just shot someone.

Red Hood had immediately tried to find the source of the gun-shot because it wasn't his gun that had fired. He hadn't shot anyone in that second.

Danny, shaking, dropped the gun and it clattered to the ground. The war around him continued on but he couldn't hear it. The only sound he registered was the beating of his own heart, which picked up pace as he panicked.

He just shot someone. He broke Batman's only rule.

Danny looked up and saw Batman's shell-shocked face. He spun around and took off from the battle raging around him. The Dark Knight tried to pursue but an agent blocked his path. He angrily knocked him out of the way but more sprung up in the hero's way. Batman attacked them viciously and caught a glimpse of Red Hood taking off after the teen.

Batman calmed some but the urge to find out why was still itching inside him.


Both (though I am making Kad sing): HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SWEETYKINZ'S~! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU~! Yeah~! *throws confetti* She picked today's update that will also become an arc cause that's the way I planned it~!

Hey, does anyone remember the Peace Treaty of Ze Forts from The Abused? Ch.13: Bromance? You also remember how I couldn't post the cross-outs? Well, me being stupid, just realized I could post into onto my profile. Which I did. So if anyone wants to check out the original version, knock yourself out!

Also... Anyone remember the foreshadow BACK IN THE ABUSED, CH.68 SHOOTING RANGE? XD (If you think this was spawned from Dark-Net, that would be incorrect. This was thought of loooooonnnnnngggggg before I even thought of Dark-Net.)

Thanks to these people for favoriting and following me and the story: Insanechildoftorture, Crystal Lilac.
