Danny has a hard time maintaining regular jobs. At this point he’s pretty much nocturnal after years of being attacked at night, and possibly just part of his ghostly nature. He’s odd, and a basic google search brings up various news articles about him getting into fist fights with the mayor of a small town. He barely passed high school and college was out of the question, so who in their right mind would hire him?

What’s a job that would work with his odd hours, doesn’t require a college education, and a possible criminal record and a tendency to be ready to throw down is NOT an issue?

Danny is a cook at a 24hour Diner in Gotham

The man just needs to be able to flip a burger and make breakfast food and doesn’t mind a gun in the face because he’s well used to it. So what if the robber was dumb enough to pull that shit next to the fryer. If he didn’t want something to end up extra crispy he should have stayed out of Danny’s kitchen

Just think of all the folks he would meet.

Sure, the vigilantes of the city would be obvious and you can’t tell me spoiler isn’t dragging folks there to eat. Maybe they notice some weird things about the cook, like he doesn’t breath, his eyes reflect light like an animal’s, or the time he accidentally cut off a finger and it was fine the next day, or maybe the time a robber shot him and he just... didn’t react

Something is weird about that guy

And of course the person I think would love a jersey style diner breakfast at all hours: Harley Quinn

WE greenhouses are the best in the business, oh no- there's no need to check the logs of who the botanist is, it's not listed donnnnn worry aboutttt itttt

Oh yea, the Wayne family has the best private lawyer. Don't ask abt why he's wearing a mask and sunglasses inside. Don't question it it's rude to ask and stare stop

Yeaaaaa I heard the new Wayne heir has a great shrink. No, sorry, she's not open to the public.

Omg the new WE escape room is so much fun, don't worry about the fact that the voice on the intercom threatens you more than normal and sounds oddly familiar to the last bank robbery you were a part of. It's his lil quirk to say "riddle me this batman" when speaking don't worry abt it

just. just. idk. Don't look to close just look away pshawww its fineeeee no you totally don't know that person whaaaaaat

No normal person ever even considers walking in those doors. It's extremely dangerous, terrifying, and all of Gotham knows it's extremely unsafe.

Batman, who since becoming Batman does not fear walking in there. Can walk past every single cell and no one dares to reach out.

Can silence the entire cafeteria with his new mere presence. He comes and talks to rouges every single one of them will answer him or entertain him.

Nightwing walks the halls with confidence, serial killers avoid his gaze, the highest security ward housing the very worst runs quiet. For Nightwing to enter Arkham something has happened.

Red Hood comes angry and packing a rouge in his own right sure but everyone knows as long as he wears a Bat that cell is never permanent. His presence doesn't disrupt conversations the only ones who go silent are the ones late for a meeting with his bullet. The Joker's cackles get louder. The prisoners might not panic but every guard makes themselve scarce.

Red Robin brings silence everyone remembers the little bird never far from Batman and Nightwing. The fury that touching him can ignite. Talks to Riddler or Scarcrow the joker doesn't giggle. His contentness within these walls sending a shiver of fear even Batman cannot induce.

Robin has only came once.

No yells, no one moves.

The little bird walks freely, doesn't bother avoiding cells or worry about going near the deadliest.

Arkham has rules untouchables.

Even if every cell were to open they wouldn't dare.

Red Hood, Red Robin and Nightwing not a step behind a clear message.

Hurt Robin and you won't answer to Batman.

Red Hood who deals in death. Nightwing who killed the joker once and Red Robin who on his best day belongs in a cell next to them.
