Ra's having a villain monologue at the bats when Danny swoops in, ignores everyone and starts taking mason jars of the lazarus pit
Ra's cries out in anger, takes a broom and starts chasing him
This is all with Danny is his normal form
This happens every week
Ra's has not been able to hit Danny once ever
Danny has been stealing from Raâs for centuries, no matter where Raâs moves to Danny always finds his hideouts and steals no less then twenty jars of Lazarus water before vanishing again.
No matter what he does he can not stop him or keep him out.
For Danny it started out as a necessary way to gather ecto after he lost access to the ghost portal, but it has becoming a very entertaining form of amusement. Tormenting the puffed up fruitloop that he discovered Raâs Al Ghul to be is the most fun he has had in decades.
It became a routine, every decade or so Danny would stop by for a few months at a time to steal jars of diluted ecto from the Lazarus pit, always going out of his way to only steal when Raâs was around.
Raâs has gotten distracted by the bats as of late and their little routine has slipped his mind until he was facing the bats and Danny walks past with a jar full of stolen Lazarus water. Caught off guard as he was Raâs grabbed the handle of the closest object, which unfortunately was a broom as he ran after Danny who began sprinting away cackling.
The bats are left wondering what exactly they just witnessed.
Only Dmaian actually knows. He's not supposed to, but he does. When he was younger he thought the mystery guy who would be rumored to so blatantly steal from his grandfather was the highest form of disrespect, but having had time to be an actual kid he find the matter hilarious and is happy he was actually able to be present for the Lazarus Thief's appearance. So not only are the Bats confused over Rals Al Ghul trying and failing to swat at the normal looking kid with a broom like one would do a rat in their kitchen, they are also dealing with Damian as he outright cackles in glee at the image
Damian: The Lazarus Thief is real! *cackles with glee*
Dick: Uh, Lazarus Thief?
Damian: I heard rumours of a thief. They have been stealing from the pit for decades! He has never been caught or hit!
Bruce: And you never said anything?
Damian: I thought it was a lie! But he is real!
Tim: Best day ever. Ohh, decade's. So either using the pit to extend his own life. Or already long lived.
Damian: Already long lived. He does not feel of the pit at all.
Jason: No he does not. He's amazing. I am a little in love!
On his way out Danny notices the Bats, gives a little salute and a cheky grin, and dives out of the lair in the most dramatic way possible. This only seves to further amuse Damian and endear him to Jason. Bruce is quick to wrap things up... he has questions and a strange immortal teenager to investigate
Danny really got to have fun this time! Although. He should probably go in properly at some point. Apparently the guy has Batman's attention. And while Danny could keep the game up for longer. Well. He shouldn't make his fun some other hero's problem. That would be rude. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.
Bruce is concerned about the teen stealing the pit waters. What does he even want it for? He must have enough of it now for it to be a major issue? And yet, somehow it isn't. Damian knows nothing of value, and has admitted as much. Ra's won't talk. Just keeps ranting about his nemesis. Which, feels a little dispiriting. To know a cheeky teen is Ra's nemesis. A teen who notably didn't fight back. Just dodged, laughing all the while. Maybe Talia will know more?
Talia only knows a little more. She knows the kid isn't entirely human and that, by his own admission, it's somehow necessary to his survival and that he called it "diluted ectoplasm.'' Who or what the kid is, she has no clue, but she senses a deep aura of Death around him. Jsut getting this much out of her was like pulling teeth, and Bruce was quick to leave with what he old before Talia could try to get more than what he offered out of her. If the kid was only using it for his own survival than there must be soemthing very wrong with him, maybe his initial theory wasn't so far off!
Danny sneaks in a few nights after the last fight and just, scoops the entire pit into a spatial pocket. With his training in portals he eventually figured out how to make pockets. And they were SO useful. He never ran out of anything anymore! He snickered a little at the sight of the empty pit, and saw the crack the ectoplasm had leaked through. He leaned down and gently sealed it. He would make a new one somewhere hidden. That way he could have his own pool, of properly pure ecto. He could filter all of this and add it as well. Ah perfect! Hmm, he should leave a note. The message should get back to the furry guy. Hopefully the other hero would be able to relax a bit.
Bruce gets a call a few days after speaking with Talia. Apparently the teen had snuck in and taken the entire pool. With a note saying it was too dangerous for mortals. And now a hero was having to deal with Ra's he was no longer interested in playing with him. So now he had some new information. Apparently the teen was not a mortal. And had been, essentially pranking the LoA for decades upon decades. But now he knew Batman was involved he felt he needed to solve the issue? Bruce was conflicted. On one hand it seemed the teen had mostly benign intentions. On the other, he might be a being of great power. This was going to be a nightmare.
