"Morning losers," Jenny smirked as Danny, Ella, and I walked into class.

"So you guys are coming, right? Please say you can!" I asked ignoring Jenny.

"Our mom and dad say we can!" Ella smiled.

"We just have to be home before 8:30. That's when we have to go to bed." Danny explained.

"It's a shame we had our 11th birthday before we met, we would have invited you." Walls frowned. I shrugged.

"You can invite me next year if you want."

"Daniel And Danielle have bedtimes? What are they, 2?" We all turned to see Katie, Jenny, and June all giggling to each other.

"Ignore them, they aren't worth it," I say placing a hand on Danny's arm to keep him from attacking her.

"Are you inviting anyone else?" Ella asked returning the conversation back to my birthday.

"Not really, but the boys get to invite one person each. Dicks inviting his friend Wally, Jason is having his friend Roy, Tim is inviting his crush and Damian is inviting a friend named Colin. Dicks girlfriend Barbra is coming along with my dad's friend Clark Kent and his son Jon, who I guess is also Damian's friend. I don't know." I shook my head.

"Hey freaks, we've come to the conclusion that we will come to your stupid party," Katie said, the other two girls behind her. I glared at her.

"Sorry, But you're not invited," I say.

"Oh, that's funny. Because Damian invited me." Katie smirked.

"No, he didn't. He invited Colin."

"You can ask him yourself." Jenny chimes in.

"Girls and Daniel take your seats." The teacher said and the girls flipped their hair and walked away. Suddenly a menacing voice came over the loudspeakers.

"Attention Gotham Academy! Due to unseen circumstances, the head Master won't be able to give the morning announcements. But never fear I'm here to take his place. As you may have guessed it is I! The Joker..." my heart stopped and I felt pale. "Please, hold your applause. Now I want everyone to head to the gym. It's time I find myself an apprentice. Do as I say and no one dies! Thank you! Oh, you have three minutes or the whole school blows!" The loudspeakers clicked off and the whole class irritated in screams and cries and panic. Katie Jenny and June were all screaming and bawling their eyes out even the teacher was crouched behind her desk with fear. I had to snap out of it. I had to contact Bruce. I looked around until I saw the phone on the wall. But I can't make a call in front of everybody. I climbed up on my desk and gave a loud whistle. Everyone stopped and looked at me.

"You heard the crazy clown go to the gym! Screaming and crying will only get us killed!" I yelled.

"Why should we do what you say? What if it's a trap?" Jenny sneered.

"And if it's not and we don't go the school blows up. You want that on your hands?" I asked glaring down at her.

"Pax is right children, come along." The teacher looked scared but she rounded up the students and walked them out.

"Aren't you coming?" Danny asked holding Ella's hand.

"I have to make a phone call," I say pointing to the phone.

"Well, we aren't leaving you alone! There's a madman on the loose!" Ella shot back.

"Fine but stay quiet and stay close." I took the phone down and dialed inter manors phone number.

"Wayne Manor, Alfred Pennyworth speaking," Alfred answered.

"Agent A, I need to talk to him," I say in a hushed voice.
