INSIDE OUT (DP+Batman crossover)

Changed minds

"Did you set me up?" Danny glared at his companion.

"No." With this simple answer, Danny's trust for Jason completely shattered.

"You're lying." The boy growled fiercely and stepped away from his brother.

"Daniel, we asked Jason to bring you here because we wanted to talk to you." Bruce took over, giving the halfa a hard look. It wasn't the Bruce Danny knew, the one who was a kind and easy-going businessman. The man who was sitting in front of him was Batman.

"And then strap me to a table and do experiments? That's not happening!" He shouted at the older man, but it didn't have the right effect.

"You were experimented on?" Tim asked in disbelief and took few steps closer. Danny took it as a threat and retreated even more.

"How did you get the idea?" The halfa asked sarcastically.

"I was just asking!" Tim snapped, now glaring daggers at his twin.

"What is it with everyone being mad at me?" Danny asked his ghost companion, who surprisingly didn't reply.

"We need a prove that you're not dangerous for us." Damian said. It was a long time since Danny heard the youngest boy talk.

"And a young assassin isn't dangerous? Hell, everyone in this living room is dangerous!" Danny raised his voice and took a 'threatening' step forward.

"We are talking about your stupid existence, not mine!" Damian spat back, his brows furrowed.

"I may or may not be in my room." Danny said causally, ending the fight by leaving. He slowly made his way to his bedroom, but on the inside, he was raging.

"How can they be so cold?" Danny shouted and yanked one of his drawers from frustration. The content of the drawer laid scattered all over his bedroom floor. He looked at the mess he caused and the envelope which ruined his life caught his eye.

"What if this is the only solution?" The halfa murmured as he picked the lists up.

Greetings Daniel Fenton,

or should we call you Phantom? It is our pleasure to deliver you this message. It would be a great honor if a powerful being such as you joined our forces.

We apologize for the secrecy but we couldn't let Batman know. If you share this information with them, we'll know and it won't be pretty.

If you decide to become a part of the league, just tell your friend, Ryan White.

Join us, or forever regret your decision.

~The League of Shadows

Greetings Phantom,

We have been watching your steps for some time now and I'm speaking for everyone now, your abilities are interesting.

It would be an honor for the Court of Owls to rule the world with you by our side.

When you decide to join us, just whistle. An owl is always nearby.

~The Court of Owls

Reading the two lists again, he made up his mind rather quickly. When someone told him he would join one of the leagues, he would laugh at them and call them crazy. Now, he wouldn't.
