Chapter 7: Brother Bonding

When Danny finally woke up at 530 in the morning it was to his adoptive father holding him in a protective way as he noticed a lump at the foot of the bed, whom crawled in a few hours ago to check on his brother. When Danny began to try to untangle himself he ultimately wakes up Bruce and the lump who turns out to be a very groggy and tired Damian.

Bruce asks, "You okay Danny?"

Danny looks to Bruce before nodding, and whispering almost, "yeah...just a nightmare-"

Damian asks cutting Danny off, "Must have been some nightmare, are you sure your felling okay?"

Bruce sighed as Danny answered, "i feel just fine? Why what happened?" having a confused face as he turned towards Bruce.

Bruce stated, "Damian go get dress for school, I'll bring Danny down to the kitchen in a minute..."

Damian nodded before crawling off the bed and walking to the door, mumbling, "I'm glad you feel better"

Once Damian left the room, Bruce turned to Danny with a concerned yet stern face, Bruce asked, "Now Danny...tell me the through...Are you Mentally and Physically fine, or are you scared?"

Danny mumbled, but Bruce picked it up, "I'm not scared...I'm terrified"

Bruce asked, "Of what? What are you terrified of, Danny?-"

Danny said, "I'm terrified of being taken away from the people i care about and who care about me...I've seen, in my dreams how 'HE' plans on doing it, but i don't know when-"

Bruce asked, "You have visions of whats gonna happen?", which Danny nodded but said, "Not of just what will happen but sometimes i relive my past...it's terrifying"

Bruce nodded before getting out of bed, and picking Danny up placing him on his hip, because for a 7 year old he is really tiny, and walks out of the room and towards the kitchen.

After making Damian and Danny, the 2 youngest out of all the bats, their breakfast, Bruce got him dressed and gave Danny some clothing telling Damian, "Be ready to leave in 5 minutes, I'm driving you to school today"

Dick, whom was visiting from college since yesterday was the weekend, was in classes at Buldhaven University. Jason who was in his senior year of high school, along with Stephanie where already on their way to the, as Jason calls it, The 'Brainwashing Institution', or Gotham High. Tim and Cassie where going to Gotham middle for their last year.

So since Damian was 10 he went to the Elementary school right next to Gotham High.

Once the boys where in the car, Danny asked, "Am I going to school?"

Bruce looked at the rear view mirror replying, "I have a day set up next week to test what your academic skill level is then i can let the school place you in the grade you need, but for know your going to go to work with me...and also it gives the perfect way to watch you, and make sure you don't have a Day mare."

During the ride Danny and Damian seemed to brotherly bond together, as they talked about random things, even going as far as talking about their future, which Danny vague gestured to Bruce that he 'dreams' about the 'his' future.

After dropping of Damian, and walking into his office at Wayne Enterprises, he set to work doing his routine things as Danny colored on a piece of paper, with rainbow colored highlighters Bruce's assistant gave Danny.

So far Bruce got most of his work, done and Danny seems to be acting normally...meaning not screaming and shaking in fear. It wasn't until the room they where in filled with a green gas, that Bruce ran to Danny in an attempt to protect the boy but barely got a foot from his desk before the both collapsed and passed out, unknown to the attacked, unconsciously sending Danny into his dream scape where a nightmare awaited.

(A/N): So here is Chapter 7. I'll give you 3 guesses on who released the gas. And the first two don't count. Danny's Day and Night mares are significant in every way. I know what your gonna say...a cruel cliff hanger. But hey it's like almost 10 at night, i got to get up early in the morning, and to make it worst tomorrows a Monday, YIPPEE!-i hope you can tell this is dripping in sarcasm. so yeah excuse any grammatically incorrect or spelling errors you find.
