Ch.51: Cujo
Playing in the backyard with Ace, Danny chased the bigger dog around. The Great Dane had one of his many toys in his mouth and was teasingly not letting Danny have it. The nine-year-old was too busy having fun to be aggravated at being outdone by a dog when he'd prank the Justice League and an assortment of villains almost daily.
The black dog wagged his tail as Danny got close and made a jump for the toy. Ace moved it out of his reach and the nine-year-old mock-whined. Tauntingly, the dog trotted away and waited for the child to catch up, only to leave him in the dust again.
"Come on, Ace! Give me the toy so we can play fetch!" Danny yelled as he jumped up and down to try and get the toy from the bigger dog's mouth. At the prospect of playing fetch, Ace wagged his tail wildly and dropped the toy. Danny looked at the toy, shaking his head. "Should've said that earlier…"
Ace yapped in agreement, waiting impatiently for the toy to be thrown.
Picking it up, Danny threw it as hard as he could. Ace sprinted after it eagerly. They continued the game for a long time before the child accidently threw it into the woods. Ace ran after it without a second thought.
Danny waited patiently for the Great Dane to come back but the dog didn't. Worried, the nine-year-old trotted after the canine.
"Ace! Ace~!" Danny called as he pushed through a shrub. He continued on, calling for the dog to come back to him. He heard some barking and followed after it. Even living with the Dark Knight, he did not expect to see Ace growling and barking at a larger, green dog with red eyes. The larger canine stood at an impressive six foot that dwarfed the three-foot-eight child.
The larger dog turned his eyes towards Danny and growled low and deep. Ace jumped in front of the child and barked. The green dog began barking back. Danny held his ears for a moment before shouting "SHUT UP!"
Both canines stopped and looked at the child startled.
Danny pointed at the Great Dance. "Ace, sit."
Begrudgingly, Ace did as he was told but remained growling at the other canine. The child turned to the other dog and pointed at him as he had done Ace. "Sit."
The dog growled. Danny gave a mild glare. "I said SIT!"
Wearing the same expression Ace did, the bigger dog sat and growled in his throat in annoyance.
Smiling victoriously, the child patted Ace's head before scratching under the bigger dog's chin. The nameless canine panted happily before shrinking to the size of a puppy. His eyes grew pupils and his tail of fire diminished into a small fluffy one that beat against the floor in pleasure.
Ace and Danny shared a surprised look, eyes wide. Then Danny grinned and picked up the puppy. "Let's go show Daddy, Ace!"
Knowing "Daddy" meant his older master, the Great Dance got up and began 'escorting' the nine-year-old back to the mansion while he carried the happy-go-lucky puppy in his arms.
Entering the kitchen where Alfred and Bruce were hanging out with the green dog, the butler and billionaire stared at the puppy the child was holding.
"Can we keep him?" Danny asked.
Eyes still wide (even Batman didn't see a green dog coming), Bruce uttered a long "Uhhhhhh…"
Danny batted his eyes innocently. "Can we please keep Cujo, Brucie?"
"Cujo?" Alfred repeated. Bruce shared a look with him before asking "Where'd you come up with that name?"
"From the movie about the doggie that was bit by a bat!" Danny answered like it was nothing.
"Who showed you that movie?!" Alfred asked startled.
"Jason."
The two adults let out long sighs. Bruce rubbed his face while doing so and Alfred looked at the ceiling, shaking his head. "Why am I not surprised by that boy?"
Jason felt a wave of accomplishment wash over him as he rested on his beat-up couch; one that said he did something the Bat-Family, especially Dick and Bruce, would not have wanted him to do (like show his little brother a Stephen King movie).
For all the people who wanted Cujo, THERE YA GO! PART OF THE BAT-FAMILY NOW!
Kadzait: It only took, like, 50 some odd chapters but you finally did it.
I feel like Jason right now, just not as evil. *evil grin*
