"You guys can't keep me here forever you know," Danny grumbled, it had only been an hour and he was already getting sick of it. "I'm going to die eventually."
Wally zipped over to him putting his arm around Danny's shoulder, he was now out of costume and in his civilian clothes. "Not if we can help it, Casper." He commented. "...Wait can I still call you that? Now that you're alive and all." He put his hand to his chin thoughtfully.
"I won't be for long if you guys keep babying me!" Danny yelled, now plopping down on the pink couch in the common room, the springs bouncing a little bit under his weight.
Megan floated over to him. "Come on Phantom, it's not that bad."
"Riiiiiiight. So I didn't see Conner putting bubble wrap on the doorframes earlier." Danny raised an eyebrow crossing his arms. Megan cringed slightly. "And where are all of the kitchen knives?" He sat up looking into the kitchen that was a few feet away from the couch he was sitting on.
Robin walked into the room still wearing his costume. "I hid them from you." He leaned up against the wall, no emotion in his voice.
Danny threw himself back against the couch with his head in his hands, dragging them down his face. "You've got to be kidding me!"
Artemis walked in and stood beside Robin. "Were just doing this to keep you safe."
"I'm not a toddler! It's like you guys think I'm going to sneeze and die of a heart attack or something?"
Megan's eyes widened. "That can happen!?"
"Ancients." Danny groaned into his hands again. "Clockwork help me." He muttered.
Conner walked into the room after probably Phantom proofing the rest of the base. "Is he still standing?" He asked.
"Not unless you guys feed me. I mean what am I going to do in here?"
Wally shot up from the other couch he had been sitting on. "I completely forgot! You must be starving after not eating for years! Oh, my gosh we're starving you. When was the last time you ate something?"
Danny put his forehead in his hand rubbing his temples trying to think back. "About a week ago… maybe?" He said unsure. "Just because I was dead didn't mean I couldn't eat. I just didn't need to."
"But you do now, I mean now that you have all of your fleshy parts again," Artemis commented.
Danny cringed "Please don't ever call them my 'fleshy parts' again."
Artemis reached into her pack that had her supplies in it, she still hadn't changed back from the mission. "Here, I have a bag of trail mix." She tossed it to him.
Danny caught it with ease. "Thanks" He puts a couple into his mouth and looks to the side thoughtfully. "Hmm, I wonder if I'm still allergic." He put his hand on his chin.
"WHAT!?" Everyone in the room cried in unison.
"Okay, okay! Calm down. I was just kidding." Danny chuckled and held his hands up in a surrendering motion. "You guys are too easy."
"Phantom, you're going to give us a heart attack!" Wally scolded, wagging his figure like he was a mother scolding a kid.
Danny rolled his eyes. "Honestly if you guys would just let me die we wouldn't be having these problems."
"Were not going to let you die, whether you want to or not" Robin said.
"Yeah, you guys have made that very clear." Phantom crossed his arms again. "Where is Kal when you need him? Surely he can be the voice of reason here."
"He's in the other room," Conner responded, pointing with his eyes at the doorframe he came in through.
Danny stood up from the chair and started walking out of the kitchen. Only for Wally to speed in front of him. "Oh come on!" Danny pinched the bridge of his nose. "Okay, you know what. How about I prove to you guys that I can take care of myself. We will spar, fight, whatever." Danny waved his hand around. "Then you will see I don't need to be babied."
"And if we win, you will stay here and not kill yourself?" Robin asked.
Danny rolled his eyes. "…fine. I'll stay, but no promises on the other thing."
