It was just me, Alfred, and Bruce for about two years. At the age of eight I became Batman's protege, and now I'm ten. This day marks the two year anniversary of when Bruce signed the adoption papers.
(Bruce had been Batman for 3 months before Danny came to live with him.)
I fought along side one of the best heros of all time. (You can say different but you know it's true.)
I started to going by the alias of Phantom because of my ghost powers.
I would wear a black Domino mask, with
Batman had also joined the justice league and today was the day that he was going to take me to meet them.

I was waiting with Batman, were only here to meet some of the team. Preferably Flash and Supes.
Flash came in through the zeta tube "Hey Batman, who's he?"
"Hi Flash I'd like you to meet my protege, Phantom."
Flash stuck out his hand and Danny shook it.
"How ya doing Phantom, my names Flash. You know that your adorable, kid." Flash started to talk in a baby voice. "Aw your so cute."
Danny's grip tightened and he started to glare at Flash in disgust. He pulled Flash into whispering distance.
"Ever call me cute again and I will beat the crap out of you, Flash stick."
"Duly noted kid," Flash strained, and Danny let go of his hand. Flash rubbed his wrist, "remind me not to get on your bad side."
"Is this how he is when he's angry," Flash questioned
"No," Danny said, "I'm much worse, this is me when I'm slightly irritated. Now if I were mad or slightly angered, I would have roasted you alive and thrown you of a cliff. So the sharks could eat you," Danny said with no emotion what so ever.
Flash gulped, and Batman chuckled. Flash seized up when he heard this. "Did Batman just chuckle?"
"No, it was probably just a trick of the light," Danny reassured him, again there was no emotion in his voice.
Before Flash could question anything, Superman walked, well floated in.
"Hey Bats, who's your little buddy over there. Is he the 'special' kid were supposed to meet," Superman asked looking over at Danny
"Yeah, Supes this is Phantom, my protege. Say hello kid."
Danny waved, "hi there," he spoke for the first time using a cute voice. He couldn't help it he was ten.
Superman's eyes widened, "how do you get the cute kids, I don't even have children."
Danny glared at Superman and walked over to him. Superman looked down at him, and messed up his hair, "aw, I wish I had a kid that looked like you," he said. Oblivious to the fact that Danny was mad at him.
Danny gave him a strong punch in the gut. Superman went flying and he hit the wall.
"I hate you," Danny walked over to Superman.
"Your so cute when your angry,"Superman added while clutching his stomach in pain
Danny sucker punched him hard in the face. It was so hard that blood started to gush from the cut on his forehead. The cut quickly started healing.
Danny's lips curled into a chesire grin, that would put Joker's to shame. It scared the two heros. Batman was watching with a expressionless look on his face.
Danny spoke, "Ever call me cute or make any comment that relates to that word, Boy scout. You might just find yourself nearly dead on the side of the road tomorrow morning," he said, still holding the insane chesire smile on his face.
"Phantom what did we talk about," Batman started to scold him
"I know I'm not allowed to kill people."
"And," Batman said
"That I should be grounded for making comments like that."
Batman sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Grounding is too good for you. I should just throw you in Arkham Asylum, but all the psycos there are probably just or more crazier than you. You deserve the electric chair."
"Oh really, so just because I threaten Flash stick, and almost kill Superman means you have the right to throw me in an asylum full of psychos, nutcases, and freaks."
Danny turned around and started walking to other side of the room. He was starting to get bored and anxious
"You are a freak," Batman said with no emotion
Danny froze, he then clenched his fists with anger. The two other heros though Danny was going to blow up like he had done before.
As quickly as the anger had shown himself, it also quickly subsided.
His hands fell to his side, he turned around. He was frowning in defeat.
Danny whispered, "your right, maybe I am a freak, it would be much better if I didn't exist."
Batman could hear the sadness and defeat in his voice. Right then and there he knew he had said the wrong thing.
"No, don't say things like that," the other two heros started to feel awkward. They both left to go to the other room.
"I didn't mean it, I'm sorry," Batman walked over to Danny.
Batman hugged Danny, he tensed up. Though Batman just kept on squeezing Danny. "I love you son," Danny hugged him back.
"I love you too," Danny mumbled into his shoulder
Bruce let go of Danny. "Let's go home, I think Alfred is making lasagna tonight."
"Lasagna! What is that?"
"You'll find out and you'll love it. I assure you."
"Ok."
"Also I have a surprise for you, tomorrow we're going to the circus. You've been to the circus haven't you?" Bruce asked when he saw Danny giving him weird looks
"I think so." Batman and Danny walked through the zeta tube together. They epwere going back home.
