Hey everybody! Sorry I am taking so long. I work 12 hour shifts and don't really get much time to write. But when I get any free time I do! :) Anyway, here is the next chapter! It may not have much action, but I felt it a necessary chapter to have to try and show the relationship between Danny, Dick, Bruce, and even Alfred. Other chapters will go into some details of other relationships, but not to this extent, i.e. taking up basically a whole chapter.

Hope you enjoy!

Location: Batcave

Date: September 3rd

Time: 2112 EST

"Batman: 01, Robin: 02, Phantom: 04" Announced the computer as the heroes arrived at the Batcave.

Once they exited the tube, Danny looked around in amazement. There were trinkets, weapons of all kinds, a huge computer, and…bats? Danny couldn't help but notice that everywhere he went, he was in a cave. 'Do all the people in this dimension live in caves?' Danny thought to himself.

Danny chuckled at the sight. "You really channel this whole dark, scary creature of the night thing don't ya?" When he turned around, he saw the Dynamic Duo remove their cowl and mask to reveal a man, who Danny thought must have been in his mid, maybe late 30's, and a boy who looked very similar to him and around his age. Danny cocked an eyebrow at the scene. "Are you always this dramatic when removing your masks?" To this, Robin grinned as he continued to remove his colored costume.

"Danny Phantom, welcome to the Batcave. We three and Alfred are the only ones who have access of this place. I trust you can keep a secret." Batman said this more as a statement rather than a question.

"I'm human now, so you can call me Fenton instead of Phantom. Who's Alfred?"

Robin, now dressed in a pair of black jeans and a green hoodie, grabbed Danny's arm while answering his question. "The Bat Butler. Come on I'll show you around!"

Batman smiled at his young ward as he happily attempted to drag Danny up the stairs to the secret entrance. He was actually acting his age around this boy, almost like brothers.

"So I know the name of the so-called Bat Butler before I even meet him, but I don't know yours yet. Dang! For such a small guy you sure are strong! I can walk on my own y'know!"

The colorful crusader laughed and looked back at the other raven-haired teen, allowing Danny to see the bright baby blues not unlike his own. "My name is Richard Grayson, but I prefer to be called Dick. Mr. Tall, dark and silent over there is Bruce Wayne. But, the team can't know, at least not yet."

"Umm, OK. Believe it or not, I know a thing or two about keeping secrets. Heh, you might even say I'm a Pro."

Once the two reached the top of the staircase, it appeared they reached a dead-end. As Danny looked around for anything that resembled a door, Dick flicked open a secret panel which required a retina scan as well as a hand-print scan to open the door that is behind the old grandfather clock. Danny was just amazed that it took that much just to get out of the cave, who knows what it might take to get in!

After stepping out of the clock, Danny was speechless. This place made Sam's family look poor! Everything looked so regal and expensive. Seeing the look of awe on Danny's face, Dick decided to try and make it a little less awkward. "So Danny, like what you see? I know it is a little much but Bruce likes to make things look very high end to ensure his ID stays intact. In reality, we would be fine living in an apartment, but with Bruce's secret ID of playboy millionaire as well as our side-jobs, it's sort of necessary. So why don't I give you the grand tour? You won't see Alfred until tomorrow though, since he finishes around 8 unless he is needed here."

"Um, OK, sure. This is going to take some getting used to. My family don't have much and we basically live off of research grants and the money they get from people purchasing their anti-ghost weapons. My friend Sam is filthy rich though, but she doesn't like to flaunt it, afraid of fake friends and stereotypes."

"Trust me, I know exactly what you mean. This place is massive and when I first moved here, I kept getting lost and had to have Alfred find me."

Danny looked at Dick with a confused expression. "So, Bruce isn't your dad? Oh duh! Your last names aren't even the same. Smooth move Fenton. Wait, so why are you living here? Is he a relative or something?"

"No. I was raised in a circus as a part of a trapeze show called 'The Flying Grayson's with my mom and dad. There was an accident during a show when I was 9 that resulted in me becoming an orphan. Bruce was in the audience and decided to take me in. Not long after arriving I found out he was Batman and I decided to become his partner to bring justice to the man who murdered my family. I decided to stay on as his partner then. It only made sense since he was never home anyway. I will always be grateful for what he has done for me. He may not be the type to show a lot of emotion, but he does care. You just have to learn the signs."

"Soooo…. Are we going to do the tour or what?"

Dick smiled at Danny. "What's wrong? Casper afraid of haunting such a big house?"

"Ha ha very funny. I'm just glad that it is a house." After receiving a confused look from Dick, Danny elaborated. "Well, since I got here I was in two separate places, both of which were caves. I was just starting to wonder if you people actually lived in caves or just had a fixation with them."

"Neither actually. We live in houses and the only caves you will be in are the Batcave and back at the mountain. Now, if you follow me, I will show you the most important rooms to know, starting with the kitchen."

After 20 minutes, Danny had seen the kitchen, dining room, main living room, the main foyer, 4 bathrooms (who honestly needs that many bathrooms?), the gym, Bruce's office (He was warned to stay out of their at all costs if he valued his life), and were now headed upstairs.

"And this is your room." Dick opened the door to show a huge bedroom with a queen size bed, a big-screen TV, a huge window with a seat, and fancy looking desk and laptop, a couple of dressers, a wardrobe, lots of shelving and two doors. And this was his? He then saw Dick walking towards two doors on the left side of the room, opposite of his bed. "This door here leads you to the library. My room is also connected to this library. Most of the books here are relevant to school studies, but there are also some dictionaries, novels, and other miscellaneous books. There are a few chairs and a coffee table there if you want to study or do work in the library rather than bring the books back to your room, just make sure you either put them back in their right place, or put them on that cart and Alfred will do it for you later. Now this door here is one of the best." Once again pausing for dramatic effect, then opening the door, "This, is your very own bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi tub, stand-up shower with waterproof speakers that plays your music directly from your laptop which you can control wireless-ly using this touchscreen, a laundry shoot, and towels and other supplies restocked daily courtesy of your favorite English butler. So, will it do?"

Dick looked back at Danny to see his eyeballs about to fall out of his head and mouth wide open. Sure he knew the place was huge and went all out, but he never expected this.

"Danny, you may want to close your mouth, there's flies trying to get in." Dick was easily amused by how Danny was reacting. Now the young hybrid was gaping like a fish, trying to create sounds or words but failing miserably.

"This. This really can't be mine. I mean, it is so much. I feel like I am getting too much and you don't even know me! It doesn't seem fair is all."

"Well it's nice to know you are a humble person." Danny yelped, jumped and turned around at the sudden new voice. "But there is no need to worry Danny. I am all too happy to do this for you. If you are indeed from another dimension, then you obviously have no place to go, and as I said before, no child on my team will be living on their own or without an ongoing education."

"Education? Oh right! Maybe I'll be able to actually do something with my education here since I don't have to constantly run out of class to take care of ghosts! YES!"

"Bruce, speaking of education..."

"I am well aware of the situation Dick, and I will allow our identities to be revealed to her. But only her. The team will find out soon, when the time is right." Upon receiving a questioning look from Danny, Bruce continued. "I can't take you in without a certain team member finding out since you already showed the team what you look like as a human as well as giving them your full name. If she sees you on TV with me or in school with Dick, she will figure out who we really are. Dick always wanted to tell her since she lives here in Gotham and will be going to the same school as you both, so I guess now would be the perfect time to let her in on our world."

"I'm sorry Bruce. I didn't know."

"Don't worry about it. Now, you and Dick can hang out before you grab your showers and go to bed while I create your identification and adoption papers. Then tomorrow you will go to school with Dick at Gotham Academy. I will enroll you in the morning." And with those final words, the big body that is Bruce disappeared from sight into the shadows of the mansion.

"Not much of a conversation is he? And the way he disappears into the shadows without a sound! How can a normal human his size possibly be that quiet while moving?"

Dick grinned. "Like everything else we do; Practice. Bruce and I are some of the few heroes who don't have any powers, so we have to train that much more to stay on top of our game and the villains."

Danny nodded in understanding. "So, what do we do now Dick?"

"I guess we should just relax while we can. We don't get many nights off. Want to play a video game or something?"

"Only if you can handle losing, dude."

"This game is awesome! I have never seen anything like this where I'm from!"

"Really? Remind me to show you the game system Bruce's company is developing. Two words: No controllers."

Danny's eyes widened. "Really? How is that possible?!"

"Dude, you traveled hundreds of miles in a few seconds thanks to the zeta tube technology and has seen some of the tech back at the mountain and the Batcave and you ask how is that possible? Bruce's company is a world leader in world-benefiting technology, and since he has a 13-year old on his hands he decided to try to create a new way of gaming. Personally, I think his reasons were more focused on making the kids the controllers so we would move, rather than sitting down and only using our thumbs."

"Still sounds cool."

A knock at Dick's door alerted them to their new arrival. "Time to get yourselves ready for bed, boys. We have an early rise tomorrow."

"But tomorrow is only the first day of school. It's only for 2 hours after lunch so why do we have to get up early?" Dick asked his guardian, hoping to sleep in for at least an hour. He didn't get to sleep in since the last time he fought with the joker and broke 2 of his ribs.

"Because you and Danny are going to go to the mall to pick out some clothes for him, as well as school supplies, personal items, etc."

The two raven-haired teens groaned. "Not clothes shopping…"

"Well we can't expect him to wear the same clothes everyday now can we? And it's not like his entire wardrobe and all of his belongings followed him when he came here."

"But Bruce… You know how much I hate clothes shopping…"

"You are both going tomorrow morning and that is final. Now grab your showers and get to bed. Be up and ready for breakfast at 7. Before I leave, what is your full name Danny?"

"Daniel James Fenton."

Bruce nodded. "Alright, good-night you two."

"Yeah good-night…"

"Good-night Bruce, and thanks for everything."


Location: Wayne Manor

Time: 0615hrs EST

Danny groaned at the repetitive beeps of his alarm clock and rolled over and hit snooze. "That's better." Danny said as he rolled over to get comfortable again, which lasted all of 2 minutes before a certain English butler came knocking on his door.

"Master Daniel, please rise and prepare yourself for today. Breakfast will be on the table in 45 minutes and I trust you will be ready by then. If I don't notice any movement in the next 5 minutes I will be back and I shall use a different method of waking you. Chop-chop sir."

"Mm'kay…" Danny groaned out before reluctantly getting up and making his way to the bathroom to freshen up. He quickly grabbed a shower, fixed his hair so it wasn't sticking up in as many directions, and brushed his teeth. When he returned to his room, he was surprised when he noticed his clothes from last night neatly folded on his bed, clean.

"Wow, he's really good." He quickly got pulled on his clothes and headed downstairs, but once he reached the bottom he realized he had no idea where he had to go. Thankfully Dick showed up to bail him out.

"Good morning Master Richard, Master Daniel. I trust you both slept well?"

"That was actually the best sleep I've had in a long time!"

"It was alright. It would have been better if I was allowed to sleep in for once."

"Dude, how many hours of sleep do you get a night?" Danny asked the Boy Wonder.

"Probably around 5. Sometimes 4 depending on what's going on in Gotham or if I am with the team on a mission."

"That's so not fair! I might get about 2 hours a night, and that's broken sleep! I even went almost a week without sleep once because I was fighting ghosts the whole time while trapped in the ghost zone, only to return home to fight more ghosts, have to do chores, and go to school."

"Well there is no need to worry about that little sleep here Master Daniel. Master Bruce may be strict when it comes to protecting the city, but he has never once forced Master Richard to stay out longer than he had or wanted to. The sleep Master Richard gets is due to his own choices, nothing more. Rest assured that you will not be forced beyond your limits while you stay here. Ah, it's nice of you to join us Master Bruce."

The two boys looked to the door where Bruce was now entering. "How did Alfred even know he was coming? He had his back turned and everything!" Danny questioned. "I don't know dude. I have been here since I was 9 and I still can't figure out how he does it."

"And you never will Master Richard. Here you go. Please do eat it all you two. You know I don't appreciate wasted food."

"Yes Alfred." The two boys replied while Bruce grinned. They are so different, yet so alike. It made Bruce happy to see Richard enjoying himself with Danny.

"Don't forget, Alfred is bringing you two to the mall to shop before you meet me at the school." The response Bruce received from the two boys was the expected annoyed groans.


Location: Gotham Academy

Date: September 5th

Time: 1215hrs EST

As a black limo was pulling up to the prestigious Gotham Academy, the two raven-haired teens in the backseat were awakened from their post-shopping slumber when the gentle movement of the limo came to an abrupt stop.

"Master Richard, Master Daniel, do wake up. We are here."

The boys drowsily looked around to see where 'here' was. Alfred sighed at the disheveled boys. "Honestly boys, please wipe those unsightly drool stains from your mouths and fix your unruly hair. I will not allow the two wards of Bruce Wayne to show up on their first day of school looking like that."

Both boys wiped their mouths clean, but only Dick started fixing his hair.

"Now Master Daniel, please try to tame that hair of yours."

Danny yawned. "Sorry Alfred, but this is as tidy as it gets. Just ask my mom. She always hated trying to get my hair to look nice for special occasions. She never did get it to work out."

Alfred sighed. "Very well, now off you go. Don't want to keep Master Bruce waiting."

Dick exited the limo first, followed by Danny who just stared at the large school in awe. "Whoa"

"What's the matter Danny?"

"This place is huge! You sure this is a school and not, oh, I dunno, a castle!"

"Yep. Welcome to Gotham Academy; Home of the richest and most stuck-up teens in Gotham."

"Wow." Danny then started to notice the people staring at them. "Dick… Why is everybody staring at us like that?"

Dick laughed at Danny as they headed in the direction of the office. "Sorry dude, but they aren't staring at us, they're staring at you. They are probably wondering who you are and why you are hanging out with me. Bruce hasn't let anyone know about you yet, but come 6 o'clock tonight, you will be all over the Gotham News Channels. In a place like Gotham, any news regarding it's resident millionaire travels fast."

"Great..." Danny could feel the eyes on him everywhere he went. Oh how badly did he just want to activate his ghost core to allow himself to disappear? He never really was one for excessive amounts of attention. Finally, after what seemed like the longest walk of his life, they reached the office where Bruce was conversing with who Danny assumed to be the principle, while filling out paperwork.

"Thank you for finally joining us boys." Bruce said with a hint of irritation. Danny wasn't sure why he was irritated, they were there for the agreed time. He looked to Dick who grinned at him slightly before he leaned over and whispered to Danny, "He hates filling out school forms. He says that they are worse than any of the forms at Wayne Tech." Danny smiled slightly and cocked an eyebrow towards his new guardian. The big bad Batman defeated by a school registration form. Danny's thoughts were interrupted when the man previously talking to Bruce approached him and offered his hand.

"Good day. You must be Daniel, the newest member of the Wayne household. My name is Clifford Paterson, and I am the headmaster here at Gotham Academy. Allow me to welcome you and wish you nothing but success. All of the staff here are excellent and are there to help you should you need it."

Danny took the offered hand and shook it, mumbling a quick 'thanks' before quickly releasing the man's hand.

"Well here are your schedules, your uniforms, your locker numbers and combinations, your student handbooks, and the form that must be filled out before you proceed next door to acquire your student ID. Your ID's must be on your person at all time to gain access to classrooms, lunchroom's, libraries, and the campus itself starting tomorrow. Now I trust you will be alright to find your way around before you head to your homeroom at 1pm? I have other matters to attend to so I must bid you farewell." And with those final words, the man retreated back into his office where he proceeded to close the door behind him.

"So, shall we go get our ID's done and explore for the next half hour?" Danny asked the other ebony haired teen standing beside him.

"Sure. We're okay now Bruce if you want to head back to the office, you know, where things make sense." Dick mockingly told his 'father'.

"I thought you would never ask. I will see you boys when you return to the mansion."


Location: Gotham Academy Homeroom

Date: September 5th

Time: 1255hrs EST

"So, even though you are 2 years younger than me, you are still in the same grade? How's that even possible?"

"Ah, maybe it's because I'm smart enough to be allowed to skip 2 grades. Since moving in with Bruce, I've had to learn a lot very quickly, if you know what I mean."

"Makes sense I guess. So, does that mean you can help me with my home-" Danny's sentence abruptly ended when he saw a familiar teen walk through the door. He was sure it was who he thought it was because of that persons' aura, which he immediately recognized.

Dick noticed Danny's sudden stop and the fading of his color. He raised a confused eyebrow and gave him a questioning look before turning around and seeing a certain blonde archer walk through the door. 'Uh Oh, this can't be good.'

She looked around the room for an empty seat and, as luck would have it, the only empty seat was the one right alongside Danny and Dick. Once she made her way over and saw the two raven-haired, blue-eyed teens she immediately recognized one.

"Danny!?" She blurted out. "What are you doing here?"

"Um, school. Why else?" Danny answered as calmly and obliviously as he could before turning a pleading look toward Dick for help.

"Wow Danny, so you know this girl?" Dick then turned his attention to the girl. "So what's your name, and where do you know Danny from? That is if you don't mind me asking." Danny looked at Dick 'Wow, he's good.'

"I'm Artemis Crock. I know Danny from… Uh… A club, that we're in together. He only recently joined." She replied uncertainly. "So who are you? You look familiar. Have I seen you around before? Aren't you a little young to be in this class?"

"The name's Richard Grayson, but I rather if you call me Dick. I'm sure you have seen me around, especially on TV, and I guess that technically I am too young to be in this class, but I am smart enough."

The boys were saved when the teacher walked in through the door, demanding everyone's attention before continuing on with explaining the classroom and school rules, the curriculum, grades, etc.

Never before in Danny's life was he so relieved to have a teacher get to class early.


So what is going to happen with the boys and Artemis? How will they reveal the identity of Dick/Robin to her in a way that wont reveal it to the entire team? Keep reading to find out! :)

Any reviews, suggestions, questions, ideas, places I can improve, etc are all greatly welcomed and appreciated! Thanks!
