"Is there a garbage can around here somewhere?"

He was getting stared at by everyone in the room. Especially Clark Kent and Connor. They were looking at him in a different way, but he couldn't explain it.

Mr.Wayne pointed out the garbage can so Danny went and threw out the phone. He took his place by Jason again and everyone started eating again.

"Why did you break the phone?" Asked damian who sat on his other side. Everyone who had just been having a conversation stopped.

He sighed heavily before turning to face the Wayne. "Your mother is VERY agitating. I swear if I could I'd punch her in the face." Replied Danny with no regrets. Damian didn't even look as though he disagreed. To the keen eye it may have even looked like damian smiled.

The blonde man from earlier with Wally spoke up. "How do you know his mom? Through work?"

Danny internally flinched. He knew they were trying to catch him in a lie. He straightened out his shoulders and let out an invisible breath to gain control. "Yes, like I previously mentioned, my parents are ghost hunters. I do work in the opposite direction." Explained Danny.

"and what might that mean?" continued the blond man. Danny turned his whole body towards the speaker. His eyes found their way to his quite quickly. They seemed to somehow radiate the toxic green while still staying their natural blue.

"my parents aim to harm ghosts, I aim to help them to put it simply." replied danny. the first thing he learned about lying was making sure to not over explain anything. Thought technically he hadn't had to lie yet.

The man took his answer but still seemed suspicious of him. At that point in time, everyone did. The blond man introduced himself as Barry Allen. It immediately clicked in his head that the man was the flash since he had over heard Bruce earlier.

"The woman said you don't act like a king, what does that mean?" Demanded Clark in an interrogation type voice. "It's an honorary term given to me by some of the ghosts. They think I'm king of humans since I'm the only one most of them have contact with." Spewed out Danny with complete and utter confidence.

It would have been impossible for any of them to tell he was lying. Even Clark or Connor. He had perfected keeping his heart beat even. Though of course that didn't help with the fact his heart rate was abnormal.

After a moment Of everyone sitting without speaking connor stood up and grabbed the boys arm. Not just any part of the arm though. It was the wrist. Danny then realized connor wasn't grabbing it for just anything, he was checking his pulse.

He violently pulled back but couldn't get himself out of the younger boys grip so he stood up then pulled Connor down with him. The two crashed into the ground.

"Who are you?" Asked the boy harshly. Before Danny even had the chance to answer he was flipped over and his hands were held behind his back.

Jason stood up as well and punched connor right in the face... which of course led to a sprained wrist. It was like punching a brick wall. Still, he didn't flinch and pushed the boy off of Danny.

Bruce stood up and all the eyes in the room went to him. "What are you doing to him." Asked Bruce. Connor looked back over at Danny with hate in his eyes.

"His heartbeat is slow." Said the boy like it answered every question. Wally laughed awkwardly. "Yeah and mine is fast." Joked the boy.

"Exactly."

Everyone's eyes in the room widened at the heavy implication. "I wasn't going to say anything since he's your guest..." started Clark. Bruce gestured for him to continue so he did. "But his resting heart rate is at 30 bpm. Unless he were some sort of athletic genius it would be impossible." Explained the alien.
