Ch.90: Deck the Halls
"Can I do it? Can I do it? Can I do it? Can I do it? Can I-"
"Danny, I already said you could." Bruce assured, setting the box of Christmas decorations down. The Ghost Boy was bouncing around excitedly. His eyes were alight with glee. He looked about ready to explode with all the bouncing and squealing he was doing.
The other Bat-Kids had found the sight absolutely endearing. The only one who couldn't restrain cooing was Dick. But that was normal, as he was Dick.
"I wanna do it now though!" Danny whined, a smile still gracing his face. He was shaking with uncontrolled energy and was barely restraining himself from running around.
When the others had first shown up, Danny had been confused as to why they were pulling out boxes of brightly colored thing-a-ma-jigs. Once Barbara explained it (while the others cursed Jack silently), Danny had been a hyper mess that could not be contained. He had just been so excited to do something new with his family.
When Damian asked who was putting the topper of the tree (once they got it up, of course) on, everyone had looked at Danny. The nine-year-old had no idea what that meant but he really wanted to do it anyways.
"Just let the kid do it. He's about to go insane. ... -er." Jason said, leaning against the wall. He seemed to be more of a spectator than a participant. Stephanie had already reprimand him for being a 'lazy bum'. He had waved her off, which earned a smack in response.
Bruce rolled his eyes but dug out the star and gave it to Danny. The child easily floated up to the top of the tall tree and placed it on, squealing. The others chuckled in response, still taking things from the boxes. Tim yelled 'a-ha!' when he found the box of ornaments. Dick and Danny were immediately upon it and taking the brightly colored balls from the box. The others were behind them at a slower pace.
The youngest of the Bat-Family looked a lot like the Road-Runner with how fast he moved from the tree to the box to the tree again. The others, even Dick, went a bit slower, more focused on making the tree look nice instead of just putting ornaments on.
Danny did not seem to recognize this.
As they were nearing the end of decorating, Alfred began decorating around the house. Danny abandoned the tree-decorating, much to the others amusement, and began following the butler around the house, helping him. He finally showed some attention to detail and made a few bowl-ornament displays that made Alfred proud.
The work took all day and when everything was done, they all collapsed on the couch.
"We fight crime every night and hardly break a sweat. We do a little decorating and we're all ready to pass out. Explain that to me." Cassie said while the others gave each other looks. Danny just giggled in his Danny-fashion.
