Ch.85: Ice-Skating

Danny's arms pin-wheeled, his body lurching forward and backwards. His teeth were clenched painfully, trying to ease some tension from his muscles. He slipped and fell onto his backside with an 'oomph'. He groaned and rubbed his head, exaggerated.

Dick and Bruce laughed, easily skating across the ice. It had been awhile since they had to teach a protégé to ice-skate. It made it all the more amusing.

"Why do I need to ice-skate? I can fly!" Danny complained, an irritated expression adorning his face.

Bruce calmly skated over and helped his nine-year-old up. Danny stayed still as humanly possible, trying not to fall again.

"If I remember correctly, and I do, that's what you said about swimming. Now you spend at least two hours in the pool before you can bear to get out." Dick teased, bumping his fist on Danny's cheek. The nine-year-old shoved it away, pouting.

"You'll get it eventually. You always do." Bruce consoled. Danny still was unconvinced.

Dick, laughing under his breath, skated up beside his baby brother. "Alright Rae-Rae, all you have to do to skate forward is march. Just like this."

To prove his point, Dick mimicked marching and skated forward a few paces. Danny didn't move. Bruce made a gesture to copy his brother's actions. The Ghost Boy sighed irritably but copied his brother the best he could. He wobbled on his feet unsteadily and pin-wheeled a few times but managed to get a few paces in before he fell forward onto the ice. He didn't bother to try and get back up.

"Come on, Rave! Get up!" Dick pestered, tapping the nine-year-old's side with his skate.

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?!"

"No."

"PLEASE~?!"

"No."

Bruce, laughing under his breath, skated up beside his kid. "Come on Danny, get up."

The child groaned but did as told. He pouted at his older brother and father.

"You so adorable~!" Dick cooed. Bruce slapped him upside the head. Danny giggled in response. Dick returned to cooing over his baby brother before he was smacked, yet again. He gave his adopted father a 'grumpy cat' frown. Bruce smirked in response.

"You suck."

"So I've been told."

Danny continued to laugh. The two older males gave the other knowing grins.

"Alright Raven, copy me!" Dick said before turning and gracefully skating away. Danny, hesitantly, began following.

They practiced skating for the next half-hour until Danny could get a good speed in and not fall on his face or his backside.

Then they all had a déjà vu moment when Danny refused to get off the ice.
