Ch.94: Lulled Into Safety

Danny continued to play with the wires to Superman's computer that was placed in his locked (well... not anymore) room. Small sparks flew from the wires and the Ghost Boy froze them so the carpet wouldn't burst into flames. Danny let out a startled yelp as he was pulled by his ankle out from under the desk.

Batman held his kid upside down, still by the ankle. Danny's cape was hanging towards the floor, outlining his head. His hair was reaching towards the ground as well. The Ghost Boy's arms dangled uselessly above his head, holding two broken wires, while his free leg continued to stick in the air.

"Whatcha doing?"

"Wiring Superman's computer so I can hack into it while I'm at school."

Batman shook his head. He had taught his kid just a little too well for his tastes.

"No more pranks until after Christmas alright?"

"But-but-but! I love pranking everybody!"

"Christmas is in a few days. You'll live."

Both heads turned to the open door when they heard whistling. Superman rounded the corner and stopped short when he saw the Dark Knight holding his kid upside down while Danny held fizzling wires in his hands.

"It's not what it looks like." Batman quickly said.

"What does this look like?" Danny asked. Batman shrugged at him.

Superman continued to look back and forth at the duo.

Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, and Flash all watched Danny play on the ground quietly. He was making something out of socks and puffy paint. They had no idea what the balls were being made into but they were afraid to find out.

"You guys have noticed his lack of evilness too, right?" Flash asked the others. They all nodded.

"What do you think he's making?" Wonder Woman asked, tilting her head to the side.

"Something that'll kill us." Hawkgirl responded dryly.

They watched as Danny admired whatever he had made before he got up. He began walking towards them and they all began panicking.

"RUN!" Flash yelled and everyone retreated via flying/running, just as Danny stopped in front of where their group had been. No one noticed the child frown when everyone retreated. His crestfallen face fell down to the sock-snowman.

"I just wanted to show them my snowman..."

Batman turned in his chair and nearly had a heart-attack when he almost stepped on the sleeping Ghost Boy. He had forgotten Danny had been playing on a blanket before deciding to take a nap. The nine-year-old was still lying on the blue blanket, his Bat-Family blanket tucked around his body. Two pillows made a 'V' around his body, encasing him in a shell. Batsy's head was tucked under Danny's chin while he rested.

The Dark Knight watched his kid sleep peacefully, breathing heavily and slowly. The blanket rose and fell every time Danny took a breath. Other than that, he was completely still.

Batman smiled faintly before moving his feet to the side and getting up. He'd be back in a minute to make sure no one had bothered Danny while he was gone.

Just as Batman left, Cyborg walked in. He stopped upon seeing the slumbering child. He was still trying to get over the trauma Danny had brought upon him the week before. Never again would he give that demon a glue bottle of any kind.

Seeing as the adorable hell spawn was asleep, Cyborg calmed. Then he tensed again. What if Danny was merely waiting until he walked by him so he could scare him? Or worse... Prank him with an EMP. That would be horrible. All the things the child could do to him while-

Danny yawned as he stirred. Cyborg let out an un-manly squeak before he retreated down the hall, barely containing his screams of terror. The child woke up just as Cyborg ran out of sight. The Dark Knight walked in again, holding a file. He looked up when he saw that Danny was awake and looking around blearily. Batman walked over calmly and kneeled beside the nine-year-old.

"Why you up, Rae-Rae?" The older hero asked. Danny shrugged, flopping his head back on his pillow. Batman huffed in amusement before tucking the Bat-Family blanket around Danny again and telling him to go to sleep. Danny did so, willingly enough.

Danny made airplane noises as he sprinted down the hall, arms vertical with his shoulders. He leaned back and forth as he ran, mimicking a plane in flight. Leaguers peeked out of hallways cautiously, watching the nine-year-old with a hawk's eye. Only when he had passed did they bother to continue traveling to wherever they were going.

As Danny entered the kitchen, many of the Leaguers stiffened and turned to stare at the child. The nine-year-old ventured over to Artemis, who was reading a book in her 'quiet corner'. He crawled onto the seat before standing on it. He tilted his head at her and waited patiently for the archer to recognize his presence.

He didn't have to wait long as Artemis finished her page and placed the bookmark in, recognizing the presence of the nine-year-old. She grinned at him and propped her head on her fist. "Hey Chickadee, whatcha doin?"

"Stuff." Danny replied. Artemis chuckled and Danny grinned. Curiously, seeing as everyone was staring at him with more pronounced fear than usual, Danny asked "Do you know why everyone's avoiding me? I haven't pranked anyone in awhile."

"Exactly. They're all waiting for you to go postal on them again." Artemis answered, shrugging.

"Oh... Batman just banned me from pranking anyone till after Christmas."

"You should tell them that."

"Nah... I'm going to let them be paranoid some more."
