Ch.61: Car Troubles
Batman quickly pulled Danny from out of the Bat-Mobile. There were a few sparks and cracks from some of the broken wires but nothing touched the two vigilantes. The Dark Knight held Danny so he was very close to the other's face. Danny giggled at his father's annoyed expression.
"Kid, you are begging to be zapped, you know that?"
The Ghost Boy laughed. "Yep!"
The Dark Knight rolled his eyes before setting the child back down on the ground. Danny continued to laugh, bangs falling in his face.
Currently, the two were in the Bat-Cave fixing up the Bat-Mobile because it got demolished. Again. And seeing a chance, the Dark Knight thought it would be fun to teach Danny about cars.
He was wrong. The child almost seemed to want to get shocked with random loose wires. Batman was very close to just letting Danny go do whatever he pleased.
Danny ventured over to the toolbox and pulled out a wrench. He walked back over to his father and held it up so the older could see it. "Are we going to need this?"
And then Danny showed some interest in the topic they were broaching in such an adorable way that the Dark Knight couldn't say no.
"Yes. Do you know what that is though?" Batman asked, figuring he might as well teach the kid something.
Danny looked between the tool he had picked and Batman. He finally just shrugged. "Nope."
Batman snorted. "It's called a wrench. Come here."
Danny did as told and Batman re-picked his kid back up. Setting Danny's feet on the side on the car, the two leaned over the side to look under the hood. Batman set the wrench up on a loose nut and had Danny tighten it. When the nine-year-old could no longer turn it, the Dark Knight straightened up and Danny asked him "Did I do good?"
Batman nodded plainly, making Danny beam and jump up and down excitedly. He nearly slipped off the side of the tank of a car but the Dark Knight caught the Ghost Boy, snorting in amusement. Danny, after the mild shock, laughed himself.
The Dark Knight placed Danny on the ground. "Go get me a screwdriver please."
Danny nodded and trotted over to the toolbox. He dug through it for a minute before pulling out a hex key. "Is it this thing?"
Smirking in amusement, Batman shook his head. Danny picked up a pair of pliers. "Is it this thing?"
Batman shook his head again, wondering how Jack never busted out his tools (if he owned any). The house they were living in sure needed some repairs.
Danny continued to dig through the toolbox, asking "Is it this thing?" whenever he pulled out a new tool. Batman continued to shake his head, pondering how the kid was not finding any of the screwdrivers.
The Ghost Boy pulled out a nail gun. "Is it this thing?"
Amusement gone, Batman snatched the nail gun from the child's hands. "No! It's not that! Dang it, Dick, can't you put tools away correctly?"
If either Bat noticed Alfred snap a picture of them, they didn't let on.
I know nothing about cars which is the reason I kept it vague.
Kadzait: This was originally supposed to be Technus and Brain meeting up (another GreenDrkness idea).
Yes. And then I realized we would be doing a repeat of me winging it like yesterday. So Car Troubles it is! XD
