Ch.21: Deep Thinking

Danny continued staring at the sky, as he had done for the last half hour. It was nighttime and the sky was filled with stars, like a black ocean with a thousand candles in it. Danny had his head cocked to the side in an obvious sign of deep thought.

Bruce was sitting in one of the chairs at his desk, working on one various case or another.

"Hey Bruce." Danny called, turning towards his mentor.

The older male stopped his work. "Yes Raven?"

"How big is space?" The nine-year-old asked.

Bruce stopped for a moment before shrugging. "I don't know. A scientist might know."

Danny nodded. "Ok."

The small boy turned back to the window and began thinking again because space had a lot of questions.

Was space never-ending? Or was it like his computer game where you go too far one way, you end up on the other side of the screen? Or maybe space was like a box where it finally just stopped? Why was space black if it had so many lights in it? Did new stars pop up in the sky every night because, millions of light-years away, their light finally reached earth? How many other galaxies were out there? How could scientists identify different stars if they all looked the same? When stars died, did they disappear from existence? Where do black-holes send the things they suck into them? Do they send the things to another part of space or do they destroy the things on contact?

Bruce looked at his adopted son from the corner of his eyes. He could see the gears turning in his head as he watched the sky.

"What're you thinking about, Rae?" Bruce asked, rolling his chair over to Danny.

The raven-haired child shrugged. "Everything."

Bruce frowned. "Alright, just don't think too deeply… I wouldn't want you to get anxiety over things you can't control." He said, using his index finger to stroke the side of Danny's face. The nine-year-old grabbed his finger and rubbed his head against it. "Ok, Daddy…"

Bruce smiled. "You should go to bed, ok Raven?"

Danny nodded, hopping off the window seat. He hugged his adopted father before exiting the man's office and going to his room. Once he got there, though, he climbed onto his own window seat and began staring at the sky again, wondering everything he could.

No one, not ever Little Danny, realized how deeply he thought.

Yeah... I do a lot of deep thinking I probably shouldn't...

Kadzait: And that's why you have panic attacks over stupid things.

Yeah... I really gotta learn to just accept some things and move on. Heh heh... *face-palm*

Kadzait: You failed.

XD Just a little.
