Danny got through his morning classes without anything happening, he had a feeling his entire day wouldn't go that well. When he sat down to eat his lunch he was soon joined by Richard, Barbara, Artemis, Isabella, and Lucas. He didn't want to talk to anyone right now but he didn't think leaving immediately would make them leave him alone.

If he left they'd probably just follow him and annoy him, either that or he'd make sure they couldn't follow him anymore. So when they all sat down he just kept eating, Artemis and Barbara seemed to get the sense that something was up and Lucas broke the silence. "So, um, does everyone know what happened last night?"

Danny looked at him, "You mean about the kid that lost his leg? Yeah, they know."

Lucas nodded to himself and looked like he was desperately trying to think of something to talk about. Then Isabella spoke, "You should still question him."

"I am not saying this again, I am not going to question a kid that just lost his leg."

Isabella looked mad now, "Questioning him could help you stop the murderer, you're being unreasonable."

Danny was pissed, but when he growled it was Toxin's, and he could feel his eyes cloud over, Toxin did that whenever he was angry and seconds away from taking over. Everyone froze when it happened, "It's not up to you, nothing I do when it comes to this is up to you. You don't get it, that kid is terrified, he lost his leg, he is in pain and scared in a hospital."

"He's already surrounded by strange doctors and nurses and has probably had several police officers question him. I know how that feels, he was attacked, he lost his leg, he will never be the same, he will look at his missing leg and remember what happened for the rest of his life. I don't have to question him, I have other options, I can sneak into the police station and find the reports on what happened to him."

"He's been through enough, I will not put him through even more when I don't have to. I've saved kids before, kids that were kidnapped, or injured, or had seen horrible things, I got them help, and I caught who did it. I will not be told how to do what I do by someone that hasn't done what I do, or seen some of the shit I have doing this, and if you tell me to question him again you won't like what I do."

With that Danny got up and left, he was so sick of people, whether they were trying to tell him what to do or trying to attack him or anything else they kept pissing him off. And as much as he hated to admit it but he wasn't going to leave, if nothing else he didn't want to leave Richard. He made things more bearable, and John and Mary weren't as bad as they were at first either.

Plus Artemis and Barbara had managed to get on his good side too, Isabella and Lucas pissed him off but he felt a bit responsible for them. He hadn't spent much time with the twins but they weren't that bad either, they were usually pretty happy unless they were worried about something. Admittedly ever since he got there they always seemed to be worried about him but they seemed like good kids.

So he couldn't leave, not unless something really bad happened but he honestly doubted that anything like that would happen. But right now Danny just wanted to be alone, so he ended up going to the roof of the school, it wasn't likely that anyone would follow him there. He sat down on the roof and sighed, 'I am sorry, I know this is not easy for you.'

"It would be easier if people stopped questioning my decisions or telling me what to do."

'She is just trying to help, even if she is not actually helping.'

"I know, but it's not like she even asked me why I wouldn't do it, or tried to understand why I wouldn't. People think of the end result, or they get one idea in their head and won't change it no matter what you do."

'Just like the heroes, as soon as one problem is solved several more show up, it is annoying.'

"Trust me I know, let's just stay up here until we have to go back inside, honestly I might not go back to the foster home until tonight."

'As long as we get food I don't care if we go back or not.'

Danny smiled a little, "That doesn't surprise me."

'I need to eat, it is how my species is.'

"That is even less surprising." Danny laid down on the roof and sighed, he was finally getting some peace and quiet. When the bell rang to signal the end of lunch he groaned before getting up and heading back inside.

He got to class and Richard gave him a worried look, Danny smiled just a little before the bell rang again and he sat down as class started. When classes finally ended he wanted nothing more then to leave, he went to his locker and dropped his stuff off. When he turned to head outside he found Richard standing there, "Someone should put a bell on you."

Richard smirked, "What do you want to keep me as a pet?"

Richard immediately blushed and Danny hid his face in one hand, "I hope you know what kind of joke you just make."

"Please don't ever mention it."

"I might if I get annoyed, now I assume you want to leave and talk about something else."

"I'd appreciate it."

Danny just shook his head and walked outside with him, then Toxin spoke, 'Are you going to tell anyone?'

"I might, and I might not, we'll see I guess."

Richard looked a little confused, "Might not what?"

"I'm annoyed and not going back to the foster home until later tonight, Toxin wanted to know if I'd tell anyone."

"Well you just told me so I guess that's a yes."

Danny sighed, "Yeah but whether I tell anyone else or not is up for debate."

Richard sighed, "I know you're probably mad, and you have every right to be, but she just wanted to help."

"I don't need help from someone that doesn't know about what's going on aside from the limited information I tell them."

Richard gave him a sad look, "You don't trust them, do you?"

"In case it was hard to tell I've had trust issues for a very long time, but it's not just that, I know what this shit can do to someone. I know what being around me can do, and I haven't told anyone everything yet, I might never tell anyone everything."

Richard looked confused before his eyes widened, "You're trying to protect them, from you."

"Being around me isn't without risks, and it's not easy for most people either, now I've got some time to kill before night comes so I'll see you later."

Danny started walking away before Richard grabbed his hand, "Just be careful, I'll text you later."

"We'll be fine, but I'll be careful, pretty sure you'll worry if I don't say I will be, good luck dealing with your little team."

With that Danny left, Richard sighed and he saw Isabella and Lucas walk up to him, he knew who they were looking for. Isabella looked around a little before asking, "Where's Danny? I thought he'd be with you."

"Yeah, he just left, he's kind of mad, I think he wants to be alone for a while."

Isabella looked at the ground, "I was only trying to help, it could have helped him."

"I think he knows that, but he's been in that situation and he doesn't want another kid going through it. Just give him some time to calm down, if you want to talk to him after he calms down you can, he's just stressed, and he was angry way before you said anything."

She nodded and Lucas smiled a little, "We'll see you tomorrow, if you talk to Danny again soon tell him we'll see him at home."

With that the two of them left and Richard saw Alfred waiting in the car, he got in and Alfred started driving home. It was quiet for a minute before Alfred spoke, "Something on your mind master Richard?"

Richard sighed, "The team messed up, Phantom and Toxin are mad and I'm worried."

"Well dating someone means you will worry about them sometimes." Richard stared at him in shock, "Please master Richard, master Bruce was ranting about it after he found out."

Richard sighed, "Great."

Alfred looked in his rear view mirror for a second, "He was worried he might harm you, then he found out he was innocent. He still isn't sure what to make of it but if you care for him I see no reason to worry as long as you feel safe."

Richard was quiet for a second, "He's dangerous, and has a temper, he's gotten into fights and hurt himself when he's gotten angry. And maybe I shouldn't feel safe but I do, he's never hurt me, ever, even when the team was attacking him he never hurt me."

Alfred smiled just a little, "Then there is no reason to worry."

Richard smiled, he was as safe as he could ever be as long as he was with Danny he was sure of that.
