Trial: Chapter 5
Bruce Wayne stayed up all night digging information, that was deeply hidden away, even with the help of Dick, it took them all night. But what they found wasn't looking good...The found out Vlad was having a custody battle of Danny against Danny's sister, Jazz. The only way according to the Judge, that he could get FULL custody was to: a) have proof that Jazz was incapable of taking care of Danny: which was accomplished by Jazz being fired, and b)prove that Danny lived in an unfit environment, which living in Arkham is a big No No. All in all Jazz was losing her brother today, any and all contact is being restricted by the restraining order Master's Lawyers have in order.
Bruce sighed, rubbing his temples, he doesn't even know the kid, nor does his kids know Danny yet they already sided against Bruce and were pleading with him to take custody of the child...It didn't help when Bruce mentioned Jasmine Fenton, for Cassie had been Pen-pals with her 2 years ago, which started another chaotic event. All in all when court started Bruce and his little group of bats, were in the first two seats on Jazz's side of the court room.
Danny...well Danny was between having a Panic Attack and Fainting when they told him he was going to have to be in the same room as Vlad again. Because earlier that morning, Vlad...
Flash Back...
Danny rubbed his eyes as a godawful amount of light swarmed the room making his forget about sleeping, but when he opened his eyes, he wished it was all a nightmare. Vlad was leering over him with a smirk, before he hauled Danny out of his bed and out the door, walking the back way to his 'new' office. Along the way Vlad made sure to lecture Danny on what he expected of Danny...
"You will not look at your sister or talk to her. You will stay by my side unless the Judge or an officer tells you otherwise. You will only answer when spoken to. You will only speak Positively about our visits. Is that Crystal Clear, son?"
Danny nodded his head, stating softly, "yes, loud and clear...father"
Present...
Danny did everything the mean man asked of him, yet that didn't mean he liked listening to him. He was brought out of his thoughts when the Lawyer from Vlad's side called Danny up to the state. Which after getting up their and pledging to tell the truth, the Questions began. like:
"Are you locked up in your room from hours on end?"
"Did your sister often had to leave you alone by yourself unguarded in Arkham?"
"Did your sister allow any other visitor except Mr. Masters visit you?"
and the Answers following it where: "Yes, Yes, No"
Then Jazz's Lawyer asked:
"Are you Happy with your sister?"
"Do you feel safe in your room?"
"Do you want to go to Vlad?"
And Danny answered immediately, "YES!, yes, NOOOO!"
To say the least lawyer objected after the last question stating along the lines that rarely allowed Daniel to see Vlad so they aren't as connected as Jazz was to her brother"
After much tiresome hours, Bruce decided to let his presence be known, Bruce asked the judge, "Your Honor, if you'd excuse my interruption, if young Danny isn't allowed with his sister, and doesn't want to got to Mr. Master, i can take care of him, even Adopt him if he'd like. As you see, as discuses Danny suffers from PTSD, like most of my wards [gestures to his wards], I'm very capable of dealing with his situation, and I'm sure he'd never be to lonely, seeing as i have i guess a full house. Danny would be perfectly well cared for, and get a good education whether it be home schooled, private school or public."
The judge stared at Bruce for a while, before turning to Danny, smiling down at him asking, "Does that sound better than going to Mr. Master's?"
Danny nodded happily, replying, "Yes ma'am"
The judge said to the courtroom, "It is settled, until I, the jury or young Danny changes his mind, young Danny will be staying with Bruce Wayne until further notice, until adoption papers are signed by Bruce Wayne you still have some rights in regarding young Danny. Unfortunately, the Restraining order placed yesterday by lawyer will remain in place until you Ms. Fenton, find a new job, a stable home, and has proven yourself worthy of caring for your brother. Court Dismissed!"
(A/N): Chapter 5 is done. I noticed that Arkham is spelled wrong in the title, well that was because i typed that first before i started the story and figured out that i left out the 'h' in Arkham and so yeah human error no body perfect. Also there may be grammar and spelling mistakes.
