Badger and Ferret Take On Gotham

Chapter 1: Let This Be a Normal Fieldtrip

"You're kidding me."

Danny looked down at the toddler aged Fruit Loop, holding him gently by his shoulders so he doesn't do anything stupid like run off and fall.
Vlad looked back at him with wide eyes, nibbling at his own hand.
"Badger!"

He picked the little child up and settled him on his hip.

"Same Vlad, just... Tiny."

He could deal with this.
It wouldn't be that hard, wouldn't it?

Danny studied him, looking at the physical changes.

The obvious fact of the matter is that he was small. He was barely up to his knee for Ancient's sake!
There's a limit in vocabulary as to be expected, he would have to supplement that if this goes on longer than a simple shenanigan.

Vlad babbled in his hold, making clumsy stabbing motions with a closed fist.
"-And then I take the dollars!"

He snorted, grasping his tiny hand and gently guiding it down to a resting position.
Sounds just like him, if he even was power hungry since birth.
"Don't copy stabbing or talk about plots where people can see and hear you, that defeats the purpose of murder plots being secret, Silly."
Vlad nods sagely, smacking him lightly on the chest.

"Murder plots stay secret for max-i-mum effff- Effff-" Vlad started struggling with the task of not turning the "f" sound into a raspberry.
He smiled and cut in gently.
"Effectiveness?"
Vlad nods enthusiastically, looking like a bobble head.
"Yeah! That!" He claps happily.

His heart melted and he adjusted him on his hip.
Danny should get Vlad to somewhere safe from the GIW, maybe Jazz's place? Or someplace near it?
Yeah, sure, it was in Gotham, but it shouldn't be that much different from Amity and he needs the similarities for Vlad's baby brain.
At least he thinks so.
He checks over Vlad's head absentmindedly as he neatens his hair up, kissing his head before speaking.

"Hey, Vlad? Would you like a trip?"
He perks up immediately, the little excitable tyke.
-

He sets down his suitcase, along with the Lightning McQueen themed backpack that held all of Vlad's baby items that were needed.

"Are you sure you don't need help moving in?" Jazz stood beside him, holding Vlad in her arms.

"I'm sure, don't worry that much about me." He shrugs. "It's only a single suitcase and some baby clothes."

"I still can't believe you traveled with Dani for a while, feels odd." Jazz poked Vlad on the nose, earning giggles for her efforts.

"And I still can't believe you landed a job at Arkham, willingly." He chuckled, taking Vlad from her. "Now, scat, I have this handled."

She raises her hands, smiling.
"Alright, alright, just remember that I'm only a street away."
He shoos her off, closing the door behind her and taking in his new apartment.

Ancients, this'll be a ride.
