"I'm going on patrol, Tims going to the mountain and who knows where Jason is going to be, Damian probably be in the cave," dick looked at his younger brother.

"When's Bruce going to be home?" Danny asked as they walked through the manor.

"He's at the watch tower but will be back maybe tomorrow, go have fun Danny, your friends are here for once and you haven't been a teenager in forever," dick smiled down at him.

"Don't worry, just go have fun," he put a hand on his shoulder and Danny sighed but nodded.

He walked into his room to see his friend yelling at the tv as Sam was easily beating Tucker at a racing game.

"You have to go faster!!" Star yelled like a coach at Tucker.

"Your not the fastest person either!!" Tucker cried frantically.

Sam won anyways.

"Sorry babe, I'm just better at some things," Sam smirked at Tucker.

"Dibs!" Danny slid down and grabbed a controller.

The five friends played video games until they heard intense nocking on the door.

"Danny open up now!" A frantic voice yelled.

"Bart?" Danny and star got up.

"Bart?" Valerie, Sam, and Tucker where confused.

Danny opened his door and saw Bart as impulse but closed the door with star behind him so their friends didn't see a superhero in the manor.

"Danny!" Megan and beast boy came running down the hallways. Danny saw tears streaming down Megan's face.

"Guys what's going on?" He asked panic.

"It's dick," beast boy stood up after transforming back to a human than a dog. Danny paled.

"Where is he?" Danny felt his hands tremble.

"We need to get to the watch tower," impulse said and he and star zoomed out of the manor.

"Got it," Danny said in a serious tone and the Martian and shape shifter nodded and left.

"Sorry guys, I have family matters to attend to and they seem really urgent," Danny ran back in his room.

"Who was that?" Sam asked.

"Some friends, but I need to go, again, really sorry," Danny said worried about his brother.

"What happened?" Valerie asked.

"I don't know," he sighed and ran out of the room closing the door and immediately transforming into phantom and flew out of the manor and to the zeta beam.

------

"What happened?" Phantom said loudly making everyone jump as he walked into the watch tower.

"Danny, it's nightwing," tigress said sadly.

"What happened to my brother?" He asked sternly and eyes glowing brightly.

Everyone was silent.

"What happened to Richard?" Danny dead in a low tone voice.

"He... He was ambushed... By the guys in white," tigress said quietly but danny was already heading to the infirmary.1

He saw his brother in a medical bed with white bandages wrapped around his torso, stitches on his arms, most of his body was covered by clothes but Danny knew it was worst than it looked.

He was by his brothers side and grabbed his hand sitting down on a chair.

"I'm so sorry dick," Danny whispered holding his brothers hand letting him know he's there.

"I don't know what happened but... The guys in white... I'm not letting them hurt my family again, they crossed he line hurting you... This is all my fault," Danny sighed.

"I-if... If I just went with them... Five years ago, if I just didn't fight back no one would get hurt because of me, maybe Jason wouldn't have died, maybe you would be in a coma... I'm sorry," Danny felt a tear slip down his face.

"You can't just keep blaming yourself for these kind of things Danny," Batman walked in.

"Sorry," he wiped away the tear quickly and cleared his throat.

"I didn't think you'd be back yet," Danny didn't take his eyes off of his oldest brother.

"I dropped everything to come here, family comes first," batman looked at Danny.

"Yea," Danny felt his eyes sting again wanting to cry.

"It's okay to cry Danny, your a soldier, a fighter, a hero, but your also a kid still, a strong one but still a kid," batman looked at his son.

"I need to be strong, I'm done being weak," Danny said quietly.

"You've never been weak Danny, your strong in many ways," his mentor looked at him.

"I'm sorry, I've been a mentor to you more than the father you need, training Damian to not kill, the company, the league, Jason, it's been keeping me busy from you and your brothers," Bruce took off the cowl.

"Don't worry, I have Tim and Jason right? And star," Danny sighed.

"Do you really not care?" Bruce already knew the answer.

"No, i need you Bruce, please don't leave Tati, I don't know if I can do this alone without you or dick," dannys voice cracked and his father wrapped his arms around him and pulled him close as tears fell down his face.

"I'm not going anywhere," Bruce comforted.

Bruce felt like Danny was sometimes his favorite child, he was smart, tough, unique... Like Jason says, he was the little soldier, since he was eight, he's been a soldier. 

He loved all of his sons and Tim was smart as well but Danny was a loving boy from the start, not deserving any of this. 

He lost his family twice, loosing parent and a sibling, this was his last blood relative, Bruce couldn't imaging going through all of this in only five years....

'Dick, come back to us... For Danny,' Bruce prayed as he comforted his second adopted son.
