Chapter 14: Dash and Harley

Batman was currently sitting in front of the Batcomputer in the the Batcave with his cowl down. Robin had just left for Mt. Justice for team bonding at the beach. At least that's what the team was calling their little beach party. That left Bruce with some much needed free time.

"Are you going to be down here all day, Master Bruce?"

"Possibly Alfred. This is the only time I've been able to look at the files Robin got from that facility. I don't want Robin around for what I might find. Danny's arms alone tell you he was abused."

"I see, and how is the young boy's recovery? Master Richard said he seemed to have a healing factor that could rival Clark's and a metabolism almost as fast as Mister Wallace."

"It's probably faster, Danny was abused and experimented on for three years."

Alfred didn't show it, but Bruce knew he was upset by what he heard. "I'll let you get to your research then." Without making a sound, the world's greatest butler left the cave.

Bruce had just gotten through four files when he happened upon a video. So far they were just regular files of blueprints describing weapons and plans for capturing ghosts. Each blueprint contained the name Fenton crossed out and replaced with the word 'ecto'. Bruce made a mental note to search the name Fenton on a later date. Just as he was about to click on the video, an alert popped up on the computer that Harley Quinn had broken out of Arkham Asylum.

Putting on the cowl, Bruce sighed," So much for solo research." He walked over to the Batmobile and sped out of the cave.

It only took ten minutes to find Harley. She had already ditched the Arkham jumpsuit and was now dressed in a red and black crop top, red and black long fingerless gloves, leather pants and boots. She was applying lipstick using a mini compact when a young boy wearing a letterman jacket ran up and hugged her. "Auntie!"

"Little Sweetie!" The two embraced. "How's my favorite nephew?"

"Aunt Harley, I'm your only nephew."

"So what."

Batman hadn't been expecting Harley to be meeting up with a civilian so he decided to stay hidden and see what they'd do. A couple hours had passed and all the two blondes did was hang out and shop. They were now sitting on a bench at one of the many parks in Gotham. "So what have you been up to in Amity Park, Dash?"

Amity Park... It sounded familiar, another thing to research later.

"Well... it hasn't been great the past couple years, but I think it's slowly getting better. At least I hope it is, dad said if one more tragedy happens or he gets possessed again we'll have to move. Talk some sense into him Aunt Harley, dad thinks Amity Park will become a criminal hotspot."

Harley hummed for a second, "Isn't Amity Park the most haunted place on Earth?"

"Yeah..."

"What about those people you told me about last time? What were they called again, those people that took care of all the ghosts?"

Dash looked down at his soda, frowning. "It was the Fenton's but then the Ghost Investigation Ward, also known as the Guys in White because they loved the color white, forced their way into town causing many problems. They don't work in Amity Park anymore, deserted the entire town a week after the incident. No one's heard from them since."

Thunder rumbled in the distance, both blondes looked at where Batman was hiding and then to the sky. "I think it's about to rain Dashy, we better head inside."

"Alright, let me just tie my shoe first." Before Batman could blink, Dash was standing in front of him with a frown on his face. "How long are you gonna keep following us, it's getting annoying."

"Usually I can remain undetected until I want to be noticed, how long have you known I was following you."

"Ever since I met up with my aunt. It's harder to stick in the shadows when it's daytime, there was also the small gasps I heard from different people we walked by."

"How did you get up here so fast? Only speedsters move that quick."

Dash appeared behind Batman. "The answers all in my name, as far as how I got my powers, I'll let you find out." And just like that, the blonde jock disappeared, a small gust of wind following.

Batman took out a grappling hook before firing it. Swinging through a couple alleys and buildings he didn't stop until the Batmobile came into view. Hopping into the vehicle, he took back roads and alleys to get back to the cave as fast as possible.

Once back in the cave, Bruce threw back his cowl and sped walked over to the Batcomputer and started typing away furiously. The first thing he did was open several secure tabs and started his search on Amity Park and ghosts.

Time was a blur as Bruce found a lot of information on Amity Park and ghosts. It took a little more time to search through everything that was legitimate and what was clearly fake.

After what was definitely several hours of reading news articles and watching news videos, Bruce found a particular article with the headline ' Fenton Family Dies in Nasty Burger Explosion.'

Letting the Batcomputer continue searching the other subjects, Bruce decided to do a deeper search on the Fentons and the Nasty Burger explosion. The Fentons had apparently been the towns leading experts on everything paranormal. Jack and Maddie Fenton had first met and started investigating the unknown along with their friend Vlad Masters.

The three friends had made a prototype ghost portal that malfunctioned and sent Vlad Masters quarantined in the hospital for five years, doctors said it would have been longer if not for the help of Vlad's friends. Years later Jack and Maddie settled down in Amity Park and started a family.

Bruce found a couple photos if the small family from over the years. Most of them were just random family photos with a couple including Vlad and two other children, while others seemed to be photos for a long outdated website. The last picture showed the entire family standing in front of a brick building with a neon sign and what looked like a UFO on top.

Bruce zoomed in a the kids faces, the boy looked like a slightly younger version of the Danny at Mt. Justice while the girl looked like a younger version of one of the girls Vlad had brought to their first business meeting. He decided to print off a few pictures and ask the other man about them at their next meeting.

Next he began searching into the inventions the Fenton's had made over the years. Bruce even found some of the blueprints that facility had in their files, confirming a couple suspicions. A couple years before their daughter was born, the Fenton parents decided to create a larger version of the ghost portal in their basement and finished it when their daughter was born.

Years after their son, Danny, was born, around the time when he was eight years old, the couple decided to completely redesign the portal, but there was an accident when it was almost complete. Danny had managed to turn the portal on while he was exploring inside of it. He ended up hospitalized in a coma for a week.

After the incident Danny seemed different. He would randomly disappear and reappear in different places. He seemed to be able to predict ghost attacks and unnatural events. The day of the Nasty Burger explosion, the young boy had been on edge trying to convince his friends and family something terrible was going to happen. He had managed to keep his friends away, but his family was too stubborn.

It was late evening when Bruce realized Harley Quinn was still loose in Gotham. He put his cowl back on and sped off in the Batmobile.

"Hey B- I'm back and Wally came over too."

Wally scratched the back of his head. "I thought Alfred said he was here?"

Dick shrugged, "I guess we can tell him what happened when he gets back."

The two boys headed upstairs to the manor.
