"You want me to do what?" Danny asked Jonathan in disbelief.
"I want you to work for me as my personal secretary." Jonathan replied. "Think about your kids. Working for me at Arkham would be a great opportunity for you, Danny."
"I am thinking about my children. And I know for a fact that working for you would be the worst thing I could do for them."
"So you're saying no?"
Danny nodded. "Actually I'm saying Hell, No. Now get out of my house."
Jonathan smirked. "You really might want to reconsider your answer, Danielle."
"She gave you her answer, Jon. And I believe she also told you to leave." Jackson said. He and the children had just gotten home.
"Stay out of this, Jack. This is a discussion between family." Jonathan said without even looking over at Jackson.
"Cillian, take Maddie upstairs. Your mother and I are going to have a chat with your uncle." Jackson ordered. Cillian nodded and quickly led his sister up to their room. When he heard their door close, Jackson turned his attention back to Jonathan. He turned his twin around and punched him squarely in the jaw. Danny let out a small yelp of surprise. Jonathan simply glared at his brother as he stood up. "Do you feel better now that you've let out that aggression, Jack?"
Jackson grabbed Jonathan by his perfectly starched collar. "Danny told you to leave. Now, I know you don't listen to her, but you will listen to me. You haven't done shit to help Danny and her kids. So as far I'm concerned, you have no business being here now. So, get out." He said as he shoved Jonathan out the door.
"This isn't over, Danny!" Jonathan called over his shoulder. Danny didn't hear him, because Jackson slammed the door in his face.
The next day
Danny was glancing over Bruce's calendar. He had a party at some hotel that evening. Danny wondered his date would be. Bruce walked in with a slightly troubled expression on his face. Danny looked up at him. "Bruce, what's wrong?"
"I have a small problem?"
"Really? What problem is that?"
"I have a party that I have to attend, and I was wondering if you would consider doing me the honor of being my date?"
Danny was stunned. "Are you sure? I mean, there are plenty of nice looking girls that I'm sure would love to be your dateā¦"
"If I wanted to take another girl I would, but as it stands, I was really hoping that you would agree to go with me. Now, at the risk of being rejected twice, I'm going to ask you again. Will you be my date to the party?"
Danny nodded as she broke into a smile. "Yes, I would be delighted to be your date."
"Good, because there's a dress on your bed that would be very sad if you didn't wear it tonight."
Danny's eyes lit up. "You bought me a dress?"
Bruce grinned. "Alfred picked it out. Go try it on."
Danny couldn't resist hugging him as she left. Bruce's grin grew bigger once she had left. He absolutely loved seeing Danny smile.
