Ch.99: Santa Claus

Danny followed behind his father while he pushed the shopping cart. Dick was beside Bruce, mocking the Dark Knight that he was pushing the cart. The adult, instead of looking insulted or embarrassed, was more irritated than anything else. This wasn't the first time he went grocery shopping, why was this time embarrassing?

As Danny followed behind, he took a picture of the two ebony haired adults and began the art of photo shopping so they both would feel humiliated when he finished.

The three were about to enter the cereal aisle because Danny had devoured the Lucky Charms again when the nine-year-old saw an elderly man (or was that just a fake beard?) wearing a neon red suit letting little children sit on his lap. And most of them were lined up to do whatever was so fantastic with this guy.

"Uh..." Danny muttered, earning the attention of his supervisors. They both stopped mid-step and looked back at him. Danny's confused face looked up at them and he pointed at the strange (to him, it was) sight with his thumb. Bruce and Dick followed to where he was pointing. Both face-palmed. The circus brat grabbed his adopted father's shoulders. "Do we have to explain everything to this kid?!"

"Yep." Danny chirped.

Dick sighed before he, promptly, burst into loud, obnoxious singing. Bruce face-palmed again while Dick continued to gain the attention of everybody while he sang Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.

Bruce watched Dick blankly, shaking his head. Danny just tilted his head confused. The nine-year-old's father quickly explained what the heck Dick was singing (screaming) about. Danny looked up at Bruce, unbelieving.

"So you're saying Santa is a fat Clockwork dressed in red that should be arrested for breaking and entering?"

"Yes." Bruce answered, nodding his head.

"...well dang..."

Santa Claus is coming to town~!

Santa Claus is coming to town~!

Dick ended on his knees before getting up and walking over to Danny. "Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Danny left out Bruce explained it far better and far quicker than the oldest Bat-Kid did.

Dick nodded, proud of himself. "Good. I remember when we explained it Jason, Tim, Dami, and Cassie."

"How'd they take it?" Danny asked.

"Uh, not too well..." Bruce said. "Jason slept under the tree with a metal baseball bat, Tim had an anxiety attack that lasted an hour, Dami didn't sleep for a week and stored a knife under his pillow, and Cassie set up a bunch of motion detectors with the alarm right by her head."

...

"...can I do Jason's idea..?"

"NO!"

*sleeps*

Kadzait: *pats my head* She's still tired from ice-skating the other day. Really tired.

*continues to sleep*

Kadzait: *puts blanket over and walks away*
