Ch.89: Park Play

Danny pumped his legs, hoping to get higher than he already was on the swing. Alfred was sitting on a bench near the sidewalk, reading a book. The butler didn't worry too much about his ward, as he was half-ghost and had taken the entire Justice League hostage with nothing but a glue bottle the week before. Most of the heroes were still in therapy with various forms of PTSD.

The Ghost Boy slowed when he saw his old friend, Valerie, walking up towards the park, holding her father's hand. The cocoa-skinned girl had a bright smile on her face and excitement in her eyes. She was bouncing a little bit and her father looked amused at her antics.

As Danny came to a stop, her eyes locked with his. Valerie's eyes widened in surprise at seeing someone she knew at the park. The ebony-haired boy was just as surprised, as there were a lot more high-end parks around the city.

Danny enjoyed the more rundown one because it was never as crowded as the other ones. It was also made of wood, which gave it an eerie vibe after it rained. The child basked in the mystery that was the wet wood of the playground. Cassie liked to joke it was his ghost side that enjoyed anything older and secluded.

Valerie released her father's hand and skipped over to the ebony-haired boy, who still had wide eyes. As she neared him, she stopped and clasped her hands in front of her.

"Hi Danny."

The Ghost Boy opened and closed his mouth a few times before saying "Hey Valerie."

Danny hadn't really talked to the dark-haired girl since she joined the A-Lister's. There was the occasional 'hello' and wave but never really any other sort of communication than that. It was utterly stupefying that the girl was so open to talking at that moment.

"Can I swing?" Valerie asked, pointing to the open swing beside the boy. Danny nodded, before kicking the ground and beginning to pump his legs again.

Valerie eagerly hopped onto the swing and began following the boy's example. The cocoa-skinned girl instantly began chatting with Danny, who eagerly engaged with Valerie.

Just like that, it was like no time had passed since the last time they really talked. The two laughed and played games, like kids do. Whenever the other told a story, the other would listen, laugh, and tell another that was similar. They played for hours on end and both whined when they were told they had to go home. Valerie's father and Alfred were both thoroughly amused by the action.

When the two went back to school the next day, it was like the day before never happened. The park-play date lingered in the back of their minds though and they glanced at each other periodically throughout the day.
