Mira: *sat on the floor next to the crib, sleeping newborn cradled in her arms* in a minute. I just… wanna watch her sleep a little longer.

*Rumi crosses room, comes to sit next to Mira*

Mira: doesn’t mean you can’t go back to sleep. I can handle it myself, if she wakes up

Rumi: she’ll be up anyway for a feeding soon, we can switch off then. And then you get to bed, I know you waited until Zoey and I fell asleep so you could come watch her

Mira: *still not taking eyes off the baby* heh. Guilty.

Rumi: *curling into Mira’s side, voice soft* … tell me what’s on your mind, nae sarang

Mira: I just… I love her so much. She’s so little.

Rumi: … well she sure didn’t feel little. But I know what you mean, she looks so tiny in your arms.

Mira: I don’t… I don’t know how anybody couldn’t love somebody this small.

Rumi: … Mira? Are you crying?

Mira: Rumi… do you think my parents ever- even when I was this little-

So! Danny had to run away from Amity Park when his parents discovered his Powers. But every time he tried to stay in a single place in America, they somehow managed to find him.

Turns out, they were working with the GIW to track him using the GIW's resources and the Fenton's Genius to find him everywhere he ran to. Eventually, Danny figured he had had enough and ran to Europe where the GIW had no Jurisdiction.

After wandering for a while, Danny was found and recruited by the League of Assasins. He was powerful, skilled, and connected to the Lazarus Pits, so they approached him with a job offer.

They would hide him from the Fentons, who had began to search for him in Europe independently, and in return he would work for them as an Assasin.

Considering his situation, Danny agreed.

He began training to be an Assasin, supplementing his Ghost Abilities with the abilities of an Assasin to become even more Stealthy.

While training under the League, Danny met another recruit simply known as Bruce. They trained together for years, even going on a few missions together gathering intel, and using disguises to hid in plain sight.

On one of these missions, Danny lent Bruce some money with the promise to get paid back when they returned to the League. That same night, Bruce left the League of Assasins and never came back.

...

Bruce was sitting in the Batcave going over a case with Tim, Jason was off to the side cleaning his Guns, and Dick and Cass were holding an acrobatics competition in their Obstacle Course, with Damien, Steph, and Duke cheering them on.

Suddenly an Eldritch Emerald Light sprang to life in the center of the Batcave, and everybody dropped what they were doing and sprang to action.

Slowly, a glowing green figure emerged from the Light. He appeared Eldritch in Nature, as if he existed in multiple layers of reality at once and looking at him gave them minor headaches. Then, the figure spoke up.

"BRUCE. ITS BEEN 15 YEARS. YOU STILL OWE ME 16 DOLLARS."

Recognizing Danny, Bruce took a moment to compose himself before responding.
